Just returning from book leave! Here's my latest:
Internal docs show that a nationwide concierge medical provider, One Medical, has let -- and in some case actively facilitated -- patients to skip the COVID vaccine line.
Washington State has halted COVID doses to them:

One Medical, a concierge medical provider valued in the billions, set up COVID vaccines for ineligible patients with links to the company's leadership.

One Medical, which advertises itself as a tech-infused boutique health care firm, also had a booking system that in January did not stop you from booking even if you indicated you weren't eligible.
Obviously word about this spread like wildfire.

One Medical also failed to check eligibility for COVID vaccine at the point of administration. At a time of scarce vaccine doses, this led disqualified patients to take doses from the truly vulnerable 65+ and health care worker populations.

The internal docs provided to NPR show doctors and medical providers sounding the alarm about lax oversight and inappropriate vaccinations -- only to be shrugged off by One Medical's leadership.

Here's a One Medical staffer expressing concern: "I have questions about our approach of not requiring [patients] to bring proof of vaccine eligibility."
These concerns were shrugged off.

One Medical, whose business model is a high-tech, streamlined approach to health care, told NPR it would have been too technologically difficult to block those who declared they were ineligible from booking vaccine appointments.

Am discovering very quickly which people in my life are One Medical members!
Receiving also a large number of tips from people all across this country who say they know people who improperly received COVID vaccine from One Medical.
DMs are open!
