      I am sorry to be a broken record, but it is completely indefensible that ACIP presents data like this showing that age is a FAR bigger risk factor for dying of COVID than pre-existing conditions & yet puts them on the same tier for vaccine prioritization. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2020-11/COVID-04-Dooling.pdf …pic.twitter.com/nzOwim3hMl

      Age needs to be a higher priority than pre-existing conditions in vaccine rollout plans. Or a lot of people are going to die, unnecessarily. It really is that sample.

      It's also pretty embarrassing for the public health profession that it's largely outsiders like me and @zeynep and @mattyglesias who are **actually looking at the scientific evidence** and pointing out these obvious problems and that there aren't more critiques from within.

      IKR? Mr. Silver appears to have fallen victim to a severe case of Dunning-Kruger.

          Looks like a binary thinking error. There is age or preexisting conditions and fails to consider additive comobidities and cofactor that his analysis misses. JAMA just published a paper on excess deaths in ages 25-44, 38% of the excess since July due to COVID. One example.

          Nate has 3.6 million followers on Twitter. Much criticism of him is from folks without 1% of his platform. Bullying? Let's be real about this. That is like saying my Shih Tzu can effectively bully a rhino.
