In Brazil, everyone from politicians and influential business owners to veterinarians and fashion bloggers are being investigated for jumping the line to get the Covid-19 vaccine. Most incriminated themselves by posting vaccination selfies to social media.

SÃO PAULO—Soon after a Covid-19 vaccine became available in a farming town in Brazil’s central savanna, health secretary Assis Silva Filho ordered nurses to vaccinate his wife ahead of local hospital workers.

“She’s the love of my life!” said Mr. Silva Filho, who also moonlights as an evangelical pastor in Pires do Rio, a town of 32,000 people. He added, “I would die for her,” in a video he posted to Facebook last month. After being reported by people who witnessed the vaccination, he was targeted by prosecutors for criminal charges for demanding advantage as a public official, resigned and agreed to pay a $9,000 fine.

Brazil is only a month into its vaccination campaign against Covid-19, yet the country’s authorities have already been overwhelmed by several thousands of reports of people who circumvented the rules to get immunized before the most vulnerable. Among those under investigation are politicians, influential business owners and lawyers, along with a host of other professionals, from veterinarians to fashion bloggers, most of whom incriminated themselves after posting vaccination selfies to social media, prosecutors said. Line jumpers have largely fallen into two groups, prosecutors say, the politically-connected or wealthy and those with friends in the medical community.

In the us veterinarians and vet staff are considered essential personnel per covid rules.

A retired Phoenix, AZ police officer Stinson, retired 2010-12 period, running organized international AZPLEA=P.L.E A. murder cover-ups from tiny Pearce, Arizona.

The wrong thing is that veterinary students, dentists, nursing students, physical education teachers are being vaccinated before the elderly and frontline doctors, worse, the beds are without vaccine.

Imagine a few Doctors and Nurses injecting empty syringes to sell the dose to others... This was reported as well but in Brazil... nothing happens...
