Execs Who Jump the Line for a Vaccine Risk Backlash

A well-known SoulCycle instructor was met with backlash after getting the Covid-19 vaccine under the guise of an “educator.”

MTA board member David Mack is reported to have used his influence to help friends get the vaccine at a retirement home in Palm Beach. The unexpected arrival of 200 vaccines reportedly resulted in vaccinations for western Tennessee politicians, hospital executives’ family members and a florist, among others.

Meanwhile, a CEO in Canada chartered a private plane, allegedly breaking isolation requirements and misleading health officials, to get the Moderna vaccine for himself and his wife. The former executive, Rodney Bakerresigned from his role as the CEO of the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation amid the backlash.

…In the S&P 500, the average and median ages of chief executives, meanwhile, hover at around 58 years old, according to data provided to Agenda by MyLogIQ, a provider of public company intelligence.
