Wow. It has little to do with her having "extreme privilege" or "elite access" and a lot to do with her being an infectious disease specialist and knowing who to reach out to for help. This is literally what people on HN do all the time. But apparently when someone outside of "tech" takes advantage of their industry connections, it's "extreme privilege" rather than just being smart. It's so hypocritical to see these kinds of comments about "privilege" being posted to a forum where so many people don't grasp the kind of privilege they have that so casually lets them judge others. (Or do you make comments like this when HNers offer to help other HNers with their job hunts, or when complaints about Google, etc., reach the front page and something actually happens to get the situation resolved?)
