While reading “Playing favories? Hospital boards, donors get COVID shots,” I am reminded of the issues and arguments that were so prevelant during this time. So many people wanting to get the vaccine, so many people not wanting to get the vaccine, and so many disagreements. Not only just with the vaccine, but if the quarantine was really necessary, if face masks and coverings should be legal, and what could be considered an “essential business,” as many businesses wanted to stay open and were doing everything they could to. This caused many people to put their business ethics on the backburner, as they had no problem being dishonest and lacking integrity in an attempt to stay open. Many people felt it was unfair that some people, depending on their situtaion, got special treatment over others.

Many people lived in fear during this time, and viewed the vaccine as a sign of hope. So when they did not get first access to it, they were naturally very upset. Because of someone’s situtaion and status, they recieved something important to others, before they even got the chance. It can be very frustrtaing when it seems as if favoritism is being shown. I am reminded of a time when I was playing club soccer, and my coach’s niece was on my team. She barely showed up to trainings, barey put in any work or went to any outside practices or weight lifting, but for some reason, still got a starting spot for almost every game. Even though there were players who played the same position as her, but where twice as good and worked twice as hard on the team, she was shown favoritism by our coach.
