Here’s a question I asked on Twitter that has received numerous intelligent responses, although no consensus has emerged:
Should a vaccine prioritization plan try to maximize lives saved or years of life saved?

Say one strategy saves 25 people who would have lived one year longer and another saves one person who would have lived 30 years longer. Which is better?
Shouldn’t our squads of bioethicists have been laying out this question over the last 9 months. What have they been doing?
