Millionaire couple pose as motel workers to get COVID vaccine

And we have some new contenders for the human scum award 🤬

[quote] The Bakers allegedly traveled from Vancouver to Whitehorse, a flight of about two hours, on January 19. Coronavirus protocol required them to self-isolate there for 14 days. Instead, they chartered a plane on January 21 and flew 200 miles to Beaver Creek. After identifying themselves as motel workers and getting the shots, they raised suspicions by asking for a ride to the airport, Streicker told CNN news partner CBC.

“And people were like, ‘Well, why would you be going to the airport?’ ” Streicker said. [/quote]

Did anyone seriously expect this sh*t not to happen?

@Elessar which part?
The part where they broke quarantine or the part they pretended to be locals so that they could get a vaccine they were not entitled to? Either one is a crime.

@EuphoricTurtle The part where wealth determines how fast you get vaccinated, similarly to how wealth determined the quality, priority and fastness of care, for many.

EuphoricTurtle · 41-45, M

@Elessar In this case they got the vaccine not because of their wealth but because they committed a crime. In Canada priority was given to northern territories and the indigenous population because they have less access to medical care and are especially vulnerable. These dipshits broke quarantine laws endangering these people so they could get vaccinated earlier.

@EuphoricTurtle Yeah, but aside from the modalities, this act was performed by millionaires. Out of 38 million Canadians, coincidentally a couple of millionaires did that.

@Elessar More people have probably done it, difference is these guys got caught because they were so brazen about it and didn't keep a low profile.

I do think there's a serious issue about fair vaccine distribution but primarily between rich and poor countries.
