“We tell ourselves stories to be able to live.” (Joan Didion) Almost without realizing it, our lives are rapidly changing. Life changes in an instant. We sit down to lunch, and that life we ​​knew suddenly ends. We all have to admit that we are always looking for solutions, that we have not found. Maybe we didn't even want to end the year !!! Especially because we know that, as the days go by, March is already there and it becomes April and then summer arrives, and we are there again at the end of the year…. and life disappears like a thread !!! “We know why we try to keep the dead alive: we do this to keep them with us. We also know that if we want to live, there comes a point when we must abandon the dead, let them go, keep them dead. ”(Joan Didion) the lack of a “public voice”, which, in my opinion, has been felt, defending, in the name of the elders, the need (and simple decency) to be vaccinated first, if the first objective is, as it is established, that the priority is “saving lives” and not the so-called “state resilience”. I am well aware that decency is not included in a country's development indexes. It is even difficult to measure, and even more so in these times when we are moving on terrains of human uncertainty. But, poorer or richer, a more decent and more supportive country is certainly a better country. As Bill Gates said, “intelligence is the ability to absorb information in real time. To ask questions that make sense. It is having a good memory. It is to draw bridges between subjects that do not seem to be related and to innovate in making these connections. ” Here I have to underline that every day, at different hours of the day, the so-called “spokespersons” of the most varied classes and professional orders claim their right to the primacy in accessing the vaccine, regardless of any criteria regarding risk of life. These groups have orders, unions and associations to speak for them. Older people do not, although they suffer from a specific form of discrimination that even has a designation created by the American psychiatrist Robert Butler in 1969 - "ageism" - which means discrimination against the elderly. The scientifically based and well-founded reality is that older, more fragile and vulnerable people must be vaccinated first, and then deflation can be faster and safer. “People who are good at making excuses are rarely good at anything else. The tragedy of life is that we get old too soon. And wise, too late. Don't anticipate problems, or worry about what might never happen. Enjoy the sunlight. ”(Benjamin Franklin)
