Look, I think that it's acceptable considering the fact that the whole system is supply-constrained. Prioritizing healthcare workers, teachers, the elderly isn't just a theoretical optimization in Israel - it's a working one too. The only way it would be faster is if there wasn't a supply constraint. The fact that the whole world is mucking up doesn't mean that our model is some kind of ideal, and I certainly don't think that it's the right model for the US, for the reasons I listed.


Right, I agree. If countries had no supply issues I would definitely agree with opening it up for everyone, with maybe a subset of reservations for specific risk populations (or with the option of bumping someone back in their place).
