I'm sure all the people who were dragging @NateSilver538 yesterday will now drag the CDC for ... updating their recommendation to be closer to what he was suggesting. https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1340697524517150729
Crib Sheet:
How to make a vaccine = scientific question
How to distribute a vaccine = a political question (what's most likely to get more people to vaccinate), an ethical question (who should we prioritize), and a statistical question (what order will prevent the most deaths)

It's absolutely true that we should consult experts on questions like these. But which experts we should consult depends on which questions we're asking. There are a bunch of Qs about vaccine distribution that are not simply scientific questions, and benefit from other experts. https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1340701828611227648
