Mad ISON, Wis. -- Alex Lasry, a 33-year-old Milwaukee Bucks executive and son of a billionaire, received the coronavirus vaccine this week at a senior living center in Milwaukee, despite not being part of a group currently eligible for the shots in Wisconsin.
"This week I was vaccinated!" Lasry tweeted on Friday after the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported it. "My wife got a call from her uncle that works in a facility that had extra doses that were going to go to waste if not used right away. With Lauren early in her pregnancy, we wanted to ensure our home, and entire community is safe for everyone."
Lasry, a New York City native who is a hedge fund manager, is considering running for the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin in 2022. He was also host committee chair for the 2020 Democratic National Convention, which was awarded to Milwaukee but moved online due to the pandemic.
Lasry, the son of Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry, tweeted that his vaccination was "pure happenstance, but I'm incredibly thankful." Alex Lasry told the newspaper his wife's uncle who called about the vaccine is rabbi at Ovation Chai Point Senior Living.
