Half the States Base Giving COVID Vaccines on Minority Status Instead of Age
2020-12-23
[Daily Mail via PJ] The Daily Mail reports that half the states in the country are giving COVID vaccines on the basis of minority status after first responders get it first. Black and brown communities suffer greater numbers of COVID infections, but the disease affects people by age more than by minority status. Just ask Washington Governor Jay Inslee and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who found out the hard way that elderly people in nursing homes are the most vulnerable. Indeed some states will prioritize nursing home residents, but minorities of all ages are next in line.

Public health officials will have to answer for why young Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Senator Marco Rubio got vaccines before a more vulnerable person, regardless of color. These members of Congress are young and are less vulnerable to COVID, so why are they getting the vaccine in the first wave?
