I am sorry to be a broken record, but it is completely indefensible that ACIP presents data like this showing that age is a FAR bigger risk factor for dying of COVID than pre-existing conditions & yet puts them on the same tier for vaccine prioritization.

Age needs to be a higher priority than pre-existing conditions in vaccine rollout plans. Or a lot of people are going to die, unnecessarily. It really is that sample.
It's also pretty embarrassing for the public health profession that it's largely outsiders like me and @zeynep and @mattyglesias who are **actually looking at the scientific evidence** and pointing out these obvious problems and that there aren't more critiques from within.
