The committee typically relies on science to inform decisions, but this time, social justice concerns have come up as well.
Harald Schmidt, an expert in ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania, told the New York Times essential workers should be prioritized over older adults because "Older populations are whiter."

I am truly thankful that it is not my decision. Any choice made will be criticized. Ethics and so many of the things we argue, oops discuss, are impossible to define. The declaration of independence. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Powerful words. What do they mean? We can all discuss-argue. We will quickly realize different things to each of us.
The vaccine. Much of what we are being told does not make sense. We are told 94% effective. The flu shot is like 60% effective in a good year. Covid 19 is a virus. Viruses quickly mutate. Months ago I read somewhere that there were then 94 different strains of covid 19. If that was true then it has mutated exponentially. A radio story this morning.
Covid 19 perhaps as in Florida is spreading more rapidly than expected. The story, if correct, said it is a new strain.
What to do? You can only do the best you can. Teasing a bit-don't blame me. I chose not to be in charge.
