Vaccine Preferences for the Wealthy Donors of a Palm Beach Nursing Home
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/01/05/florida-nursing-home-covid-vaccine/
It appears that a high-end nursing home in Palm Beach is diverting scarce Covid 19 vaccines intended for its staff and patients to wealthy donors and board members of the facility.
While there is no question that we all need the vaccine and seniors most of all, it is a terrible image and precedent when a nursing home gives vaccine preferences to its own wealthy donors. The facility, Morse Life, and its administrator, Steve Myers, invited wealthy donors and board members to come to the facility and receive the super scarce vaccine in apparent violation of federal, state and local guidance.
Elsewhere in Florida, seniors are waiting in eight-hour lines to get their shots. https://www.npr.org/2021/01/02/952897252/seniors-in-florida-camp-overnight-to-get-vaccine
