Withholding vaccine from elderly whites will 'level the playing field a bit'
[WND] A University of Pennsylvania expert in health policy says older people should not necessarily be on a priority list for COVID-19 vaccinations because they tend to be white.
And making them a lower priority will "level the playing field a bit."
The expert, Harald Schmidt was quoted in a New York Times article titled "Who should get the coronavirus vaccine first?"
"Older populations are whiter," he said. "Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit."
