Trump’s White House taking the vaccine tomorrow is a symbol of a larger problem.

I’m beginning to hear of privileged people who are like jumping. 1/
Hearing that companies involved in distribution are carving out small caches for their executives.

Not people who are CDC recommended. But people with bank.
This is deeply immoral and fitting with some of the worst traits of our country.
I’m going to put this out there.
-People are dying
-People are risking their lives to try to save others
-People have to work every day & face the public are dying fastest

Privileged people already have a vaccine: it’s called their house & the Internet & masks.
What to do:
—journalists...need to be asking executives in the supply chain who is taking the vaccine & writing about it
—political leaders...publicly say you will take it if you like— when it’s your turn
—Congress...provide oversight and monitor
—community leaders— be vocal & visible if you’re community is getting left behind
—states & pharmacies must hold to the letter of the law
—we are talking months for production to ramp, not years. Let’s hang on
P.S. from here, if anyone asks me if I know a way they might be able to get the vaccine early, I might post it on Twitter.
