On social media, commenters questioned how a famously fit 52-year-old was able to secure a place in line ahead of essential workers and at-risk seniors.

The outcry came as officials across the nation struggle to respond to racial and … [Read more...] about A SoulCycle Instructor Got the Vaccine as an ‘Educator’
