Tell Goldman Sachs: Hands off the H1N1 vaccine.

To: Lloyd C. Blankfein Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (Goldman Sachs Investment Group)

According to NBC News, while pregnant women and children with respiratory problems are struggling to get access to scarce doses of the H1N1 vaccine, bankers at Goldman Sachs have been given a stockpile of 200 doses of the vaccine. That's the same amount allotted to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.

With hospitals, schools and community health clinics in desperate need of the H1N1 vaccine, it's unconscionable that Wall Street can just cut in line and secure scarce doses for bankers.

Goldman Sachs received over $1 billion in taxpayer bailouts during the financial meltdown. But that's not all. It was the single-largest recipient of taxpayer money in the AIG bailout, receiving almost $13 billion once AIG's positions were unwound.

And now, analysts predict Goldman Sachs could give its bankers as much as $23 billion in bonuses, while the rest of country struggles through the jobless "recovery."

NBC chief medical correspondent Nancy Snyderman has suggested that Goldman donate its doses to Lenox Hill hospital. We agree, that's the least they can do.
