If circumstances were different, I’d be inclined to agree, but what we’re talking about is the difference between more widespread distribution and use of a partial vaccine does that very likely provides some protection and a limited distribution of a more complete vaccination that, while offering stronger immunity in those who receive the dose, offers less protection to the population as a whole. The way I see it, the vaccine rollout is what it is. It’s not going to be perfect by any stretch - that ship has left port. But we can give at least partial protection to a much larger group of people, which is the better option, IMO.
