| Differently from most countries in the world, Colombia allowed corporations to buy and distribute vaccines to their employees. The result? Hunger Games: Food Delivery Company Giving Vaccines Only to Best Gig Workers As COVID deaths in Colombia reach an all-time high and a third wave of infections has left hospital systems on the verge of collapse, the massive delivery company Rappi said it would offer vaccines to its employees. The catch: the delivery workers will have to compete against each other to prove they are the hardest workers to win just a handful of jabs. Juan Sebastián Rozo, Rappi’s director of public affairs, announced this week during a local radio interview that the company will give vaccines to the five percent of its delivery workers who “deliver the most orders, spend the most time logged into the app and because of that are the most exposed.” https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkbqdg/hunger-games-food-del... --- In other words: between a 20-years-old who works full-time and a 40-years-old who works part-time, the Rappi would give the jab to the 20-years-old. So... don't take compassion for granted. |
