      Given the data over the last year, and shown in this thread, I will be eternally perplexed if the US doesn't choose to vaccinate the elderly first and foremost, along with those who take care of them directly. Check out the attached prioritization of Wales, which makes sense. https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1336841338923278336 …pic.twitter.com/TphcF78tvO

      The US is not monolithic in how it is approaching vaccination prioritization (in fact, it is not monolithic in almost any way). Each state has its own plan. This is the MA plan, and you can see it deviates widely from the Wales plan:pic.twitter.com/5Kd5rjyDyh

      This is same as CA. Prioritizing 30 year old "essential" worker over 75 year old is beyond pathetic. We really suck at "science". Can't wait for videos of 30 year teachers getting vaccinated while our senior citizens are forced to wait.

      not so sure about that. 30 year old superspreaders who continue to shop, party, etc. would be among the first people I would want to vaccinate.

      Only if it’s found that the vaccine also prevents transmission. We don’t know that yet. If it doesn’t, vaccinating young people first could make the spread worse because they will take even fewer precautions to protect others.

      I know it's commonly believed we don't know, but we are not without knowledge here in that we have a lot of indications ,and the ACIP committee said so.

          The ACIP also recommends not vaccinating those who know they’ve recently had the infection, as they almost certainly have long lasting immunity. Young people, essential workers, etc, are over-represented in this group.

          Thanks for the reply. It’s commonly reported that we don’t know - hence commonly believed. I certainly hope it stops transmission in addition to disease.
