If Covid has validated anything, it’s that if you have the money, anything can be done.

I'm pretty sure we had plenty of evidence this was the case long before covid-19 was a thing. Wealthy people have better lawyers which affords them to do things like get away with murder, not pay taxes, have better medical care, have better housing, have better education, on and on and on.

Eh, you don't need money: nothing's stopping you from going to a CVS and not disclosing your earlier shots.

  Can confirm. The irony of the GP comment is, is this is the one rare time when healthcare access in the US doesn't differ between the rich and the poor, the vaccine is free for all.

    >The irony of the GP comment is, is this is the one rare time when healthcare access in the US doesn't differ between the rich and the poor, the vaccine is free for all There no irony here. It's just bad business for the ruling class if the proletariat that works for them and is the pillar of their wealth, dies off. If there's no one left to grow and harvest your food, maintain water and energy infrastructure, then it doesn't matter how much cash, stocks, how many jets, yachts and McMansions you own.

I think you have this wrong. I know plenty of rich people that got their shots really early. They didn’t do that using money; they used their creativity. They printed up a fake letterhead for a non-existent medical company and just went for it. That attitude of ‘just go for it’ has a propensity to make people rich as well.

  ...unless they're unlucky to get caught early enough or don't have support of their rich family, in which case that's a propensity to make people go to jail.
