The vaccine should be given to BIPOC people first as pointed out by VOX [1] because they have a higher mortality rate from the disease. Once POC in at risk segments have received their dose then we can give it to others. Its interesting to consider the inequality outcome here, ie if we dont give it to POC first, and they cant return to the office when others can, then they will end up losing to office politics.

As much as this makes sense from an epidemiological perspective it's only going to inflame more resentment and likely from the same demographics that are vaccine skeptics. Public health officials are unfortunately going to have to factor in PR and politics if they want get the most people protected.
