Well, I doubt the ones I know that went to the us for vaccines consider themselves upper class. I guess it depends on how you define the term. The distribution of wealth is absolutely terrible here in Mexico. I'm a junior professor at a large public university, I have a wife and son and am our family's only source of income. According to the government's statistics my income of approximately 25K USD a year puts our family above the income of 90% percent of all families of 3. I guess that 90% figure might justify you calling me "upper class", but I think the lifestyle afforded to us by my university professor's salary is much more in line with what is considered "middle class" than what people think of as "upper class". From what I can see of my American colleagues, a junior university professor in the US has a pretty comparable lifestyle, and they don't consider themselves upper class either, I believe. I won't do it, but I could certainly afford to fly with my wife and son to the US to get vaccinated (and, as many middle class Mexicans, all 3 of us already have American tourist visas). It would maybe cut into our savings a little more than I'd like, but we could do it. I think the people I personally know that went to the US to get vaccinated are in a roughly similar boat to our family, maybe a little better off, but I don't think of them as upper class either.
