      The problem is that immunology experts (on the Gov's vacc advisory panel and NPHET) also recommended the new plan. Because of their positions though, they can't go public and defend it, so it's easy for media to frame as 'smart experts vs dumb politicians'.

      The argument against is that vaccinating people who are the most in front of society means you help break chains of transmission, which makes sense. In the wave of new variants as well that do pose higher risk to younger people, that is also something to consider.

      I get that it’s difficult for laypeople to parse this stuff but there have been studies on risks that essential workers face and that it is useful to vaccinate them early on. I don’t have the time to look for them specifically atm but it’s not a new perspective.

      Which you have to weigh up against the data from UK and Israel about the benefits of a fast, age-based roll-out. Like I said, both strategies are risk/reward based and the reward for the age-based plan (full vaccination much faster) appears more enticing for politicians.

      They have the benefit of more vaccines though, which has worked out well for them. So young people with underlying health conditions got their first shots ages ago now.

      I'm not sure that makes much difference though, since the order is the same. Young people w/ underlying health conditions will still be vaccinated before 'healthy' 60-65 yos under the new plan. Supply problems (if they persist) will cripple either strategy.

      I know, I was just saying that because the UK has more supply they are able to quickly get through everyone. I don’t think that changing the schedule does much for our schedule since it was mostly age based anyway.

      The difference being was that some key professions which have been struggling for awhile now with poor COVID management strategies are not prioritized. Teachers have really got a shit go of it the last year.

      I’m also concerned they will force universities go to F2F without those people being vaccinated.

      Yeah, I totally see your points. I do wonder if the best compromise is actually an inverted age-based system: 55-65; 18-25; 25-35; 35-55. On the basis that 18-35 are more likely to be in frontline roles, shared housing etc.
