If you start from the assumption that a successful Covid vaccination rollout protects the most people from serious illness and death, it follows pretty quickly. My parents are significantly more likely than I am to be hospitalized and/or die from Covid than I am. My grandparents as well, but their risk is even an order of magnitude higher than my parents face.[1]
A successful vaccination program, then, would aggressively work through the most vulnerable populations first.

- sneak 6y agoYes, that seems to be the consensus, although I don't share it. I was answering the question posed by someone asking why someone felt entitled to faster vaccination.

I know, you said: >> There is an argument that the rationing/prioritization scheme that is currently in use is inherently unjust, and that no one is entitled to faster vaccination than anyone else. I'm curious what that argument is.
