@CT_Bergstrom 2) I can see various arguments for essential workers based on reducing infections and achieving herd immunity faster. Can also see some ethical and economic arguments. I wish essential workers were defined more precisely though (eg as workers in close contact with other people). — PolitiTweet.org

@CT_Bergstrom So, a few things: 1) I do think for age 75+, it's a no-brainer. It's a small percentage of the population so you're not using up too many doses and obviously it's very deadly for that group. Start with healthcare workers & nursing homes, then 75+, then we get harder choices IMO. — PolitiTweet.org

@CT_Bergstrom 3) I think it is pretty close to indefensible for ACIP to define a broad enough group of pre-existing medical conditions to encompass 100+ million people as being on the same pedestal as being age 65+. Even their own data shows the risks aren't remotely comparable. — PolitiTweet.org
