Analysis: Should we focus the vaccine on those over 65? Seems like a good idea
In a new Medium essay Simon advocates for a national campaign to get all seniors vaccinated by Mid-April. Good health policy, yes but also an early "win" in our fight against COVID.
An excerpt:
"Getting “seniors vaccinated” also allows us to have a big collective win against COVID, something that may be psychologically important for a country eager for a clear victory against the pandemic. As it would come in the spring, it would contribute to a nationwide sense of renewal, of a return to possibility. It will help create a sense of “yes we can” momentum which will help us as the vaccine program scales up later in the spring."
