CDC Says Elderly Shouldn’t Get COVID Vaccine First Because They Aren’t Diverse Enough…Our Most Vulnerable….

The inmates are running the asylum after all.

With one coronavirus vaccine approved in the U.S. (and a second approval likely coming soon), there’s a logistical challenge in determining who to give the vaccine to first. It’ll take months before everyone who wants one can take one, and common sense would suggest those most venerable to the virus (the elderly and those with preexisting conditions) getting treated first. For perspective, the coronavirus death rate for those under the age of 19 is only about 1 in 33,000, but it’s 1 in 18 for those above age 70.

But apparently in today’s day and age, that’s a controversial statement because the elderly don’t have the preferred skin complexion while also being the most venerable to a deadly virus.

As Lee Fang, a right-of-woke journalist on the political left noticed, the CDC’s guidelines for vaccine priority put first 87 million non-healthcare “essential workers” ahead of the elderly…. because the elderly are too white. Fortunately the guidelines are nonbinding – but many will still obey them regardless.

The CDC guidelines are nonbinding but are used by states to set the distribution of the vaccine. Those w/lobbyists and organized advocacy are pushing to be counted as “essential workers.” The elderly and less well resourced workers may be out of luck. https://t.co/EXvKq4kx7W

As a slide from a CDC document on the distribution of coronavirus vaccines shows, while the elderly do have the highest incidence and mortality from the virus, minority groups are under-represented among those age 65+. The CDC is working off of three ethnical principles in their decisions for prioritizing vaccine distribution; maximizing benefits and minizine harms (good!), promoting justice (huh?), and mitigating health inequalities. To maximize benefits and minimize harm would mitigate health inequalities the most, but that’s apparently lost on the social justice warriors in medicine, who view everything through the prism of race…
