“It’s ‘The Hunger Games’ out there,” said one top entertainment executive, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Variety reported that rich Hollywood celebrities are jumping the line to get a COV vaccine. They say it’s like the Hunger Games out there. The article gives a long list of stars and other prominent people, CEOs, deal makers, who are paying to get their vaccine ahead of seniors, black people, the ill.

From the Variety article:

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 media heavyweights are openly exploring options outside of the L.A. county health system in what they view as a life-or-death race against the high demand and limited supply of vaccines…

…Hundreds of elite executives, agents, and stars are mightily coming down on their top-tier healthcare providers in L.A.’s Westside neighborhoods, where a major vaccination site has yet to be designated. Those enrolled in UCLA’s executive health program (which is or isn’t a concierge health service, depending on who you ask) have been inundating program director Dr. Robert Ansell for information on when they can receive the vaccine.

Is Hollywood hypocritical and without a strong ethics foundation? Nah, it can’t be. People who adulate these so-called celebrities might want to rethink who they admire.
