Remember when Obama set up all those death panels.
When faced with a difficult decision, ask yourself "What would Micon do?", then do the opposite.

Not sure why you're bolding the "may not prevent transmission" part like it's some sort of gotcha, when that's been one of my points for the last several pages. If it can't prevent transmission (which still hasn't been studied), that makes my argument stronger to only vaccinate the most vulnerable to effects of COVID.
The rest of your line here is also bizarre, as your point seems to be, "This study was from 1-2 months ago, so we need to ignore it and assume anything unfavorable to the left has changed, even though there haven't been further studies saying otherwise."
You also haven't explained why it's okay that "racial justice" -- a big factor in determining vaccine priority recommendations -- is being used by epidemiologists at the CDC at all. It has no place there. Yet they admit it's a big factor.
You also ignored my point that the study is looking at the difference between vaccinating elderly first and vaccinating "elderly, non-elderly with preexisting conditions, and essential workers" together. What they're actually doing is putting elderly with essential workers only, and leaving the non-enderly with preexisting conditions for a lower priority. This is a huge difference, as there will be plenty of under-65 with preexisting lives lost in the next month, but very few healthy essential workers dying. There's not even much overlap in those groups, as people with major preexisting conditions aren't that likely to be working at the jobs they call "essential".
If you study the difference between vaccinating only the elderly (my position) and vaccinating the elderly & essential workers at the same time (your position), you'll obviously get a large difference in number of deaths.
But you've already admitted that you're okay with lots of extra people dying, in order to push crazy left woke ideology, so you kinda already proved my point for me.
But that's not surprising, because the woke left has never cared about the individual, so literally killing people for the sake of wokeness has always been A-OK. That's why the left doesn't bat an eye when innocent people are maimed, killed, or have their businesses destroyed during mass riots.
Since it's 1:45am in Finland, and gimmick is in his bed dreaming about the entire world being a communist utopia, I'll take a break from this tiresome debate and present something different.

Well, well, welll!
Who has been saying for the entire year that masking is overrated as a COVID-preventing solution, and was likely instilling a false sense of security into wearers?
This the problem when the media politicizes a pandemic.
The media hated Trump, and Trump wasn't interested in encouraging masking. Therefore, the media had to portray the pandemic as Trump's fault for not encouraging masking, and pushing the narrative that we'd be doing great with COVID if we only all masked.
This, in turn, encouraged smug people (especially on the left) to feel that they were safe going out, as long as they wore a mask. After all, they weren't reckless MAGAtards refusing to wear a mask, so COVID wouldn't happen to them! The media and Democrats "following the science" said so!
Then they got COVID. Oops.
Anyone with common sense realized that masking was helpful, but was just one piece of the puzzle. However, the media was afraid to put out that "one piece of the puzzle" narrative, because Trump-bashing was the most important thing.
So here we are.
The message SHOULD HAVE BEEN THIS:
- Don't go indoors in public places, unless absolutely necessary
- Wear a mask
- Always socially distance when with people from other households

sonatine is "emotionally competent", everyone.
Yup. Nobody on this site would ever doubt that.
The "experts" are not citing scientific reasoning. They admit in their own defense of their recommendations that they included "racial justice" in their calculations. (These "experts" also have no expertise in that subject, by the way.)
But nice copout answer.
Look, if you agree that the nebulous concept of "racial justice" is a good reason to literally kill extra old people, just have the balls to say so. Don't hide behind "I trust the experts" bullshit.
Let's try this again, Mr. Emotional:
Do you or do you not support giving precious early vaccines to healthy 25-year-old grocery store workers ahead of old people who are actually vulnerable to being killed by COVID?
Do you support "racial justice" being a valid reason to kill old people?

Yup, that's what I thought.
Very consistent with modern leftists. Refuse to answer direct questions about their insane policies, accuse the other side of being "crazy" for even asking.
At least gimmick makes an attempt to babble a convoluted response.
yeah modern leftists tend to know dunning kruger when they see it.
