Well, New York state told these hospitals they’d be fined if the vaccinated people other than medical workers, and also told them they’d be fined if they didn’t inject enough vaccines. So what were they supposed to do? https://twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/status/1348276474550300676 …

I expect hospital administrators to grow a pair and do the right thing. If they get fined, they can start a godundme.

What’s the “right thing” here? What is the objectively morally correct priority list that’s written in the stars and obvious to all?

Yes. The elderly are 600-1000X more likely to die from covid. We should vaccine then first.

It’s not at all clear that the only people we should be giving vaccines to are the people most likely to die

I agree. But the elderly should be prioritized above IT staff and other employees who work remotely and are unlikely to either spread or die from the virus. I also understand that there are logistical problems with simply walking a bunch of doses to the local nursing home.

It just doesn't make sense to slow the rollout to nitpick which exact employee qualifies, filling out forms, doing scheduling etc. when the problem is vaccine supply is sitting on shelves and not being rolled out. Just vaccinate as fast as possible will get us there faster.

100% agree. But if I were a hospital administrator, I would be working MJ butt off trying to find elderly patients or community members to give these doses to.

My point that I wouldn’t let the threat of a fine stop me from expanding beyond “medical workers.”

Then you would quickly no longer be a hospital administrator—as breaking medical rules is not as easy as pay the fine and move on but involves losing licenses—and your hospital would face the threat of no longer be allowed to legally operate.

Replying to @zeynep @PersistentSeekr
What medical rules?!? Andrew Cuomo’s executive order is not a medical rule.

(But I understand that it’s easy for me to be “brave” here sitting in this armchair.)
