It has always been the established medical ethic, that when a medicine needs to be rationed, it should be given first to those whose lives are most apt to be saved.

The reason is we are all children of God, that all lives are valuable, and we do not choose who is more valuable.

For coronavirus, the priority would be elderly, especially in nursing homes, then the less elderly, and people who are obese or have other complications.

An exception can be made for those who are essential to keep others alive, and who cant be replaced. There aren’t many of them. They would likely be ICU Docs and nurses in stressed places like California and Tennessee.

Those at lower risk should NOT be getting the vaccine at this time, no matter how powerful or politically correct. That would be non-elderly or less elderly public officials, such as the vice president, governors, congress, as well as first responders, teachers, military personnel, etc.

Another example of how badly we are slipping as a society.

No, we’re all creation of God. Only saved believers can be called children of God.
