Because the 66 plus-year-old is more likely to become positive. The more people are positive, the more become hospitalized and overcrowd the hospitals. They run up huge bills that can NEVER be paid by the individuals. Plus some die. All this does is destabilize healthcare and its financial base. It eventually adversely affects all of society.
And what of the virus? With many positive over 65 cases, the virus has an increased environment to duplicate in - and mutate. Summary........there really is a case to be made for vaccinating the over 65 age group early. The same could be said for the over 75 which, I believe was the original intent of the CDC. But, state Governors decided that they knew better than the Science experts at the CDC. What a surprise, who knew?
