City Ends Partnership With ‘Philly Fighting COVID' Over Privacy Concerns

An organization called Philly Fighting COVID that was run by a 22-year-old Drexel University researcher received 6,950 doses of the coronavirus vaccine from the City of Philadelphia before the city abruptly ended the relationship Monday. The partnership’s termination came after the city was alerted by media reports that Fighting Philly COVID had become a for-profit business. There were concerns that the business, founded by Andrei Doroshin, could sell data provided by people seeking the vaccine. NBC10’s Matt DeLucia has the details.
