In California, wealthy patients are offering top dollar to cut the line for a Covid-19 vaccine

wealthy patients in Southern California -- the epicenter of the state's Covid-19 crisis -- are offering to pay top dollar to cut the line and be among the first to receive a vaccine.

*****

one patient offered to donate $25,000 to the hospital in exchange for an early shot of the vaccine. Toll's practice services a well-heeled clientele that includes chief executives and entertainment figures, but the doctor said he is telling his patients they too must wait as the first round of vaccines are distributed to those most in need of protection.

*****

Dr. David Nazarian, of My Concierge MD in Beverly Hills, said a number of his A-list clients are contacting him, saying that money is no object if it helps them get the vaccine early.

"They wanted it yesterday," said Nazarian. "We will play by the rules but are doing everything we can to secure and distribute the vaccine when its available to us."

All they have to do is volunteer for a clinical trial

Ivermectin too.

Did fine without magnesium and B. Had not hear anything about their use. Full recovery is slower than I would like to see.

Heavy on the proctologist credentials, no doubt.

I’m allergic to masks.

I have to wrap the mask in cloth.

Damn, I better rush out and get a prioritized allocation of the vaccine as a senior citizen so I can auction it off to some rich fool.

Seems to be some demand. And right on schedule the eyeores of FR mocking them to be guinea pigs. Mind you I don’t think they should cut the line. But there is demand much to the chagrin of our resident pseudo experts who fail to realize that the vaccination id accepted by the majority will end all the other bull crap going on

Gee and I have seen people die with that regiment. Please don’t practice medicine unless properly qualified.

Idiots.
Zinc/HCQ has been giving me all the protection I need since this fake “pandemic”.
Liberals have talked themselves into a corner, which is not a bad thing.

Faith in God and taking a vaccine are not mutually exclusive. One can have both

It won’t end anything.

The fear and hype of “new strains” is already being pushed.

This won’t end until “they” let it end. Too much money to be made, too much socialist control to be gained.

I volunteered for Moderna’s. Don’t think the rich would really participate. Lots of time going to the clinic, questionnaires, blood tests, daily online health diary, weekly calls, return visits and blood tests. All with a 50% chance of getting the vaccine.

I’ve read your posts for months and appreciate the info you share.

So please tell me why a virus that has an over 99% recovery rate has shut down the US and world? Why this vaccine is so necessary for a virus that has an over 99% recovery rate? Why the entire world has basically shut down, or altered society in a such a way that violates our Constitution/entire government? Why when other epidemics that appeared/were so much more serious didn’t shut down the greatest economy in the world?

So this is going to end all the bullshit going on?
