He explicitly says that we should only vaccinate high-risk populations, which is LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF EFFECTIVE VACCINATIONS and in many poor countries there isn't the distribution network either, so the doses will go bad!

He's saying that we should be protecting high-risk populations and paying people to socially distance? rather than directly targeting the people impeding shoving people back into work so that he deliberately doesn't have to provide any aid other than "get a job you leech"?

These are a *tremendous* number of assumptions. Look, I have an actual family member in the line of fire. She is a teacher, she is currently subbing at a private school. She is *terrified beyond measure*. And in any case my primary objection is to the latter parts of the thread.

It pretty clearly is seeing as nobody's actually in a position to pass that shit! It's not happening! Hypothetical "could" is not "will." And EVEN IN THAT CASE, vaccinating the entire population is an objective good that many epidemiologists have called for.

Yeah I'm gonna point out that the virus isn't an abstract trolley problem and there are strong arguments for trying to 100% eliminate it in a physical region as quickly as possible

As long as the pandemic is still going on in the United States there's more time for the virus to jump around and mutate, making the vaccine less effective The more different environments across the globe COVID-19 is active in at once the more likely this is

Gradually vaccinating the entire world going by risk factor until the whole world becomes virus-free at once would be the "fairest" solution if the virus were this abstract threat that the vaccine magically fully stops

But for the actual physical virus it's a terrible idea (Note that this isn't related to the question of fairness of the richest countries in the world going first out of all the countries)
