Emails from the organizers of a COVID-19 vaccine pop-up clinic in Charlotte County raise more questions about the fairness of vaccine distribution in Florida after Gov. Ron DeSantis allowed politically-connected private developers to dole out the life-saving drug to residents of their upscale communities, bypassing systems set up to ensure equitable access to vaccines. Whether it’s through a random lottery or a system that gives people a digital place in line based on when they sign up for the vaccine, Florida counties have tried to distribute vaccines without favoritism. But the emails from employees of private developer Neal Communities provide further evidence of how some Florida residents in affluent areas have been allowed to cut in line. They show how the developer offered the vaccine to homeowners in the upscale Boca Royale Golf & Country Club community, their family members and members of the community’s semi-private club, essentially turning the vaccine into a perk of living in a gated country club community where some homes are priced at more than $1 million, or of buying a club membership, which can cost thousands in annual dues.
