Head scientists have decided it would be a doubleplus ungood decision to inoculate old people first (the ones most likely to have any negative effects).
They're afraid that some of them will die (of old age) and nobody will take the vaccine (because any time an old person died in 2020 we called it a Covid death.
Only in 'Merica!

Quote:6ix, your understanding is incorrect. In a 13-to-1 vote, the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) said health care workers and residents of nursing homes and other residential care facilities should be first in line to get COVID-19 vaccines. The CDC says there are roughly 21 million health care workers in the U.S. More than 3 million Americans are residents in skilled nursing or assisted living facilities or other group care homes.

Ultimately, the choice comes down to whether preventing death or curbing the spread of the virus and returning to some semblance of normalcy is the highest priority. “If your goal is to maximize the preservation of human life, then you would bias the vaccine toward older Americans,” Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former Food and Drug Administration commissioner, said recently. “If your goal is to reduce the rate of infection, then you would prioritize essential workers. So it depends what impact you’re trying to achieve.” The trade-off between the two is muddied by the fact that the definition of “essential workers” used by the C.D.C. comprises nearly 70 percent of the American work force.

If Bernie can manage to live 4 more years, watch him bitch about everything for 4 more years.

More than 7,000 participants in Moderna’s 30,000-person efficacy trial and Pfizer’s 45,000-person trial were over age 65; about 5,000 were under 65 but had pre-existing conditions or existing diseases that put them at a higher risk of severe COVID-19.
