A New York SoulCycle instructor on Monday apologized for the vaccination to get a coronavirus vaccine.
“I want to apologize to my heart for my recent efforts to receive the vaccine,” Stacy Griffith, a popular instructor for SoulCycle, wrote about her account. “I made a terrible mistake of judgment and I regret it.”
“If I get vaccinated, it can stop the short spread within groups!” Griffith told the Daily Beast. ‘I function as a common point for many people who overlap. In my profession of health and wellness as a teacher, it is my priority to make my community and their respiratory systems work at full capacity so that they can defeat this virus if infected by it. I can only teach them if I am healthy myself. ”
Vaccines are believed to be targeted at the elderly, people with pre-existing health conditions and essential workers such as teachers and firefighters. Some communities have also tried to ensure that communities hardest hit by the virus gain access amid reports that rich and white neighborhoods are getting the vaccines faster.
Many were furious at the news that Griffith had received the vaccine so early in the process, including the mayor of New York Bill de Blasio
Bill de Blasio The winter storm is hampering the deployment of vaccines in the Northeast. Multiple vaccine distribution is an early test for Biden Fauci. (D), who said, ‘I do not think anyone who shows up and says, ‘Hey, I’m a SoulCycle instructor’ should have qualified unless there is another factor. It should have been caught in the application process. ”
New York opened their vaccine to staff working with preschoolers for 12th-grade students and university professors who have personal classes, but it was difficult for them to receive the vaccine.
SoulCycle condemned Griffith’s actions, saying their instructors should not try to get the vaccine under the guise of a teacher.
Vox reported that Griffith is one of the highest paid instructors for the business and receives $ 800 per class.
