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."

Rich idiots jockeying to be guinea pigs. Saw on the news that some fool offered Cedars-Sinai in Beverly Hills a $25K donation in exchange for the so-called vaccine.
Go ahead - let them cut in line! Pelosi cut in line already. I plan to be in the 3rd or 4th group to get the vaccination since I have been in hospital twice with allergic reaction to drugs. Had many other terrible allergic reaction to drugs since then. Oldest son very nearly died when his dr. gave him Ceclor antibiotic. 6 hours in emergency room. Youngest son had terrible, similar reactions to amoxicillin TWICE before they figured out it was that drug causing the reaction. He also can’t eat blue cheese anymore. All 3 of us terribly allergic to mold. I reacted to Keflex, Isoptin, and Erythromiacin, too. So I do not want to be first in line for the vax. Maybe I will be lucky and not need it at all. I postponed small pox vax as long as I could and never had to take it. Was eradicated before I got the vax. I get flu shots, got a pneumonia shot, no problem.
2020 is the craziest year ever and I went to college in the late 1960s...early 1970s!
I said it before and repeat it again
Wealth doesn’t always equate with brains otherwise they would give the following a shot to boost their resistance and probably eliminate this bug as well. A combination of
QUERCETIN + ZINC + C + D + MAGNESIUM + a high potency B complex supplement.
And how many of the ruling elite actually get the shot before their turn comes?
One of the issues with this and many vaccines is that if you have a immunological disease already such as lupus, Crohn’s, asthma, psoriatic arthritis, migraines, or any other over active immunological condition, you should discuss the risks with you physician. There have been allergic reactions to the spike proteins of this virus when vaccinated just as the virus itself has caused massive allergic reactions in some people who died almost instantly from acute respiratory failure and dropped dead in their homes. I would advise waiting to see how this vaccine plays out for a month or so unless your job, like mine, demands that you take it.
I haven't followed most news. Did Pelosi and other elite types actually get the early vax along with doctors and staffs?
Way back early this year I remember hearing that our irreplaceable and vitally important members of the House and Senate were said to be getting the first Covid tests available. Had to wait to see results. Imagine losing Romney, McConnel, Murkowski, Schiff and Nadler for weeks due to the virus. Too scary./s
A new BMW? Try me ...
All Democrats probably.
Ironic since the only time in my life I plan on bribing anyone, it will bribe the nurse to just pretend to jab me and then sign my “compliance” documentation.
It doesnt cost anything to have faith in God...
1st in line is already paid for...
Same.
Oh how I would love to see some delicious irony baked into this.
This whole covidicaction is more like some scripted scifi parody to me.
Listen my children and you shall hear the story of when an entire class of the population was wiped out because of their own self-important greed and arrogance.
If it could only be true.
Of course those asshats would do that.
Yes, my good FRiend, this (and consider being a bit generous with the D dosage)!
It's my china virus deflector shield. (I also take melatonin in the evening, sorta rounds things out for this 70+ yr old)
Lots of great info online.
That is one of the features of a capitalist system. It is also a demonstration that people with money are not always the ones with the best information.
I can’t imagine being a concierge doctor to rich jerks.
It would be right up there with being a personal assistant to Meghan Markle.
