> In fact targeting aid towards black people consequently targeted aid toward black males (a subset of black people.) And decreased aid targeted toward white males (a subset of males.) > black people are still less likely to be vaccinated than white people, so black people clearly weren't targeted enough The same is true of men vs women, so men clearly weren't targeted enough either. Moreover, this entire comment thread is driven by the fact that men died a whole lot more than women due to COVID. That's ipso facto evidence that men were undertargeted. > the cost of specifically targeting black people (put the vaccination centers in or near black neighborhoods if possible.) Prioritizing who has access to a vaccine is cheaper than opening new vaccination centers in underprivileged areas (which fwiw I support). And it went further than this: in most localities, white men were explicitly deprioritized, having to wait a month or more longer to get access to the vaccine compared to e.g. black women, who were at lower risk. Also, by choosing not to apply a gender lens, public health authorities overinvested in black women and underinvested in black men. It's likely that if mens' higher vulnerability to COVID was allowed to be brought into consideration, fewer black people (and fewer people overall) would have died.
