A suddenly infamous SoulCycle instructor says, ‘My bad’ … after calling herself an ‘educator’ to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Stacey Griffith apologized ‘from the bottom of my heart’ on Monday after she posted a photo of how she gets the hugely popular vaccine. The 52-year-old later admitted that she was eligible because she offered herself as an ‘educator’ on vaccine enrollment forms.
Upon further investigation … she calls the shady move a ‘terrible error of judgment’.
In her meanwhile-deleted message … Griffith – who taught such people Oprah and Kelly Ripa – start her caption with: “VACCINE DAY! Step one of the Moderna magic !! One hour drive to STATEN ISLAND worth each minute! It takes a village.”
Griffith even added: “Now I can teach @soulcycle with a little more confidence that we will all be fine.”
Of course, some real school teachers are still struggling to get vaccinated in NY, where there is a shortage.
NY currently prioritizes people over 65 plus teachers, school staff, personal college instructors, child care workers, first responders, public transportation workers, frontline workers and people working / living in a shelter for homeless groups.
Yes, fitness instructors? Even popular / famous people? NOT on the list.
Even NYC mayor Bill de Blasio seems surprised at Griffith for saying the vaccine: “Doesn’t sound like someone who had to be vaccinated for me.”
