Wealthy people scramble for COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S.

As coronavirus vaccines trickle out across the U.S., some power players in the entertainment and media industry are reportedly leveraging their clout to be among the first to get inoculated. 

Reports say some rich and famous people have been spending large sums of money to skip the waiting lines for private physicians and concierge health services. 

Health authorities say these efforts are jeopardizing more vulnerable populations.
