Harald Schmidt, an expert in ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania, said that it is reasonable to put essential workers ahead of older adults, given their risks, and that they are disproportionately minorities. “Older populations are whiter, ” Dr. Schmidt said. “Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.”

Essential workers. They care for several folks so we’re protecting multiples with one shot.
Kill the old folks meme rises again.
Why is it these experts in ethics never have any?
Aren’t we ranking people?
I thought that was discriminatory?
The fainting nurse may have saved millions with her one shot.
Old folks are consuming vast sums of SS and medicare, they have lived useful, long lives. They should stop burning through public cash so we can import younger, fertile, more vibrant public cash consumers.
Harald Schmidt can have 10 Ph.Ds piled higher and deeper, and he’s still a libtard fool. Race, race, race, race is all we hear about and the reason given for everything. Excuses are made as to why blacks have less access to healthcare, but I am not fooled. I saw first hand how they deprived THEMSELVES of education which would lead to higher level employment instead of welfare or menial jobs and thus would provide better healthcare benefits, Dr. SCHMIDT. And they could not be bothered to hunker down and study, preferring to attend parties, carouse all night and indulge in drugs instead of studying for that test they were having the next day. And predictably, when they failed the test, it was because it was “racist”—had nothing to do with them never cracking a book or cutting class, no. So don’t give me this libtard crap about blacks being deprived of good healthcare. It isn’t anyone’s fault but their own.

Any elderly who have not yet succumbed to the virus will be culled by the vaccine.

Every elected official should be given it first. Then all medical personal, from doctors to care givers at homes. Then Hollywood would be my next choice.
Politicians 1st, bureaucrats 2nd and celebrities 3rd.
Everyone else will act as the control group while we observe the complications in the first 3 groups.
“Essential workers” are younger and healthier, less likely to die from the virus. Age is also less subjective than “essential” when determining who gets it... not as likely a criteria to be manipulated to play favorites.
“The fainting nurse may have saved millions with her one shot.”
Sick logic
I’d start with BOTH, elderly and front line healthcare workers.
I’m an essential worker. I say give it to the elderly and frail first.
The most vulnerable.
Socialists and Democrats.
