You must be a big fan of forgiving student debt.
Some of the people who are being mobile don't have a choice. I have a job that forces me into the office. I am being as responsible as I can be, but shouldn't we vaccinate people who have no choice but to be in dangerous situations in the hope it will tamp down infections more?
Also, I'm not saying we should skip the elderly -- I'm saying we should sprinkle in the younger folks with health issues because by vaccinating some of those people, you will do more to slow transmission than by vaccinating people who are all staying home.:NY: :NY: :NY:

Originally posted by billyhoyle View PostThe most medically at risk for complications should be prioritized-it's not a complicated concept. Find me a study that shows race has a similar effect as age on CFR and I will agree with you.
Life expectancy of African Americans has decreased by 2 years because of the pandemic.
1.9 years for Hispanics. And 0.8 years for Caucasians.
It’s dont be old, don’t be in a risk group, and don’t be black. African Americans have been hit harder than any group except maybe Native AmericansBaseball is life;
the rest is just details.

Originally posted by billyhoyle View PostNot for biological reasons, but you know this. Disease severity is not impacted by race. I can't tell whether you are setting up a straw man or actually think there should be race-based prioritization. You keep bringing up risk groups, but the data shows risk groups are significantly less of a factor than age.
It’s right on the CDC website.
African Americans are 1.9x more likely to die. Hispanics 2.3x and Native Americans 2.4x.Baseball is life;
