The Rich Keep Getting More Covid -19 Vaccines.

Wealthy Americans are able to bypass roadblocks to ensure they get access of the Covid-19 vaccine ahead of their poorer neighbors.


Wealth disparities in America continue to pervade every aspect of life in this country and it should be no surprise our extreme inequities would bleed over into the distribution of the potentially life saving Covid-19 vaccine. The government must ensure that racial and income disparities are diminished when it comes to who gets the jab in an effort to bring the country together and fight the pandemic as one united force. The most privileged among us should not have a birth right to receive the vaccine before their fellow citizens who happen to be poorer.
