[FRIAM] Medical treatments for some or for all

[Jochen Fromm]

Good point. Yes, governors, presidents and chancellors should receive special protection. But if politicians do not care that their people get the best protection (for example because they oppose masks which obviously help against a respiratory disease - both governor Abbott and former president Trump did this) it feels wrong to me if they themselves get a treatment which is so expensive that ordinary people can not hope to get it. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/31/world/greg-abbott-mask-vaccine-mandate.html-J.

Is it right that I can eat steak and some can’t afford enough rice and beans? The world is grossly unfair  I’m sure I’m not the only one who struggles with the unfairness of the world. The question is what to do about it. How much social disruption would occur from a governor dying in office? Or a president?

He has no symptoms but receives the same $100,000 Regeneron treatment as Donald Trump, maybe because he sits in a wheelchair and belongs to a risk group. Is it right that famous politicians are getting the most expensive treatments while ordinary people have to worry if they can pay a treatment at all, for instance because they have lost their health insurance? https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/08/17/1028574761/texas-governor-greg-abbott-tests-positive-covid-19-coronavirus-J.- .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
