Hollywood liberals love telling you how you should think and live your life, but those unsolicited opinions are just for you, not them. When it it comes to living the virtuous life they demand of others, it turns out they are simply garbage people. With millions of front line workers and at-risk people waiting to get the COVID-19 vaccine, the Hollywood elites are abusing their privilege to skip the line.
Variety reports that its industry is full of shit people:
As coronavirus vaccines trickle out across the country and new infections and deaths rise at alarming rates in cities like Los Angeles, some power players in entertainment and media are leveraging their clout and connections to be amongst the first to get inoculated.
Numerous high-flying executives and dealmakers have been cycling through private physicians and concierge services to receive one of the two established COVID-19 vaccines on the market. Others have been tapping their vast resources in a mad dash to get vaccinated as the government, especially in Hollywood’s native California, churns through a sluggish rollout.
Some efforts to receive the vaccine ahead of schedule do not violate any laws – though they have raised questions of ethics and good taste in exclusive social circles and boardrooms across Los Angeles. It’s also clear that power and wealth, which allow many in the Hollywood community to afford on-demand doctors and access private planes to engage in vaccine tourism, have enabled them to get shots more safely and efficiently than average citizens. It illustrates the gaping chasm that exists between haves and have nots in this country when it comes to healthcare.
And yet, this seems to be a huge violation of the law:
Beverly Hills-based Dr. Robert Huizenga confirmed to Variety that his practice has been offered in excess of $10,000 by individuals, including members of the entertainment industry, desperate to get vaccinated.
“We’ve been offered bribes. We see people taking planes to every location. We’ve seen people try to transiently get into the healthcare profession or on staff at nursing homes, so they qualify for an early vaccine,” said Huizenga.
If that’s what this guy is admitting is happening, that means it’s much worse and more widespread. Basically the rich entertainment industry elites are buying coronavirus vaccines intended for people who really need them. Short of murdering someone in cold blood, this is the next shittiest thing a person could do. That’s Hollywood!
Dr. Art Caplan, director of medical ethics at the NYU School of Medicine, summed up Hollywood scumbags like this:
“It’s bad behavior. It should not be condoned. We should find ways to penalize it. We’ve got 91-year-olds waiting, health care workers waiting. People who are wealthy can easily find ways to quarantine, mask, and stay isolated for another month or two, and more vaccine will become available,” said Caplan.
But Los Angeles and the state of California won’t find a way to penalize this because they are too busy arresting and fining small business owners who dared to defy the lockdown so they could scrape out a living and avoid financial ruin.
I know several people in the Los Angeles area who are eligible for the COVD-19 vaccine because they are either front-line workers, elderly, and/or at-risk who cannot get it. Of course they aren’t rich self-righteous Hollywood douchebags, so they’re shit out of luck.
The peasants will simply have to wait until all of the important entertainment industry people get a vaccine they don’t even need.
