Controversial opinion. Don't hate just read and comment.
Does it make sense to give a 90 year old person the vaccine? Does it make sense to prioritize the elderly and those with serious physical illness first?
Before you fly off and to the right hear me out.
I have both in my family and love them dearly. But shouldn't those that care for them get it first? From the 32 year old nurse that cares from them, to the 65 year old doctor that prescribes medicine and evaluates their health?
What about those that are considered essential outside the medical field? Our population is on the verge of wigging out because of the lockdowns. Shouldn't we make sure that they're up and running? Not talking law enforcement either. I'm talking about fast food workers, convenience store clerks etc...the so called little people that we've discovered give a large part of the population a bit of comfort in their tiny indulgences (health wrecking though they may be)?
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this thing. I've talked to my brother and we both have serious doubts about this thing. But if its gonna be issued shouldn't we at least be a bit practical in how we're doing it?
