Would anyone who feels their group is NOT critical and should go last please raise your hand?
The hospitals are being overwhelmed by those who get sick enough to require it - some of them die. Others get sick and recover, others don't realize they are sick, and still others have already been infected and have developed an immunity.
Let's aim the vaccine where it will have the most impact. Put those likely to take up hospital space and those likely to die at the front of the line. Test everyone for antibodies first and not spend the initial allotment of vaccine on those who have them. Put those least likely to be severely impacted, like children or most of those under 40, towards the end. Yeah, not popular, but there is science to support it.
