I don’t understand why they are like this. I know things are fucked and there are currently not enough vaccines, but I’ve had to scold several liberals bitching about this. Why are they so obsessed with moralism and meritocracy? It’s always about what groups are most deserving of something and god forbid we can’t all have anything nice, or good standards of living because somone undeserving might gasp take advantage. Anyway, that’s all I just needed to vent.
Herd immunity is obviously the main goal but if they can minimize deaths by giving it to people most at risk of dying first, that would be best. If the rollout was planned well, this could have been possible to do while also vaccinating people as quickly as possible. But it has been a disaster
Yeah I mean I think that nursing homes and whatnot should still be prioritized, but we shouldn’t be letting vaccines expire because hospitals or whoever are worried about getting fined for giving it to the wrong person.
