[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 75683528, member: 313365"] I should have added the :) to my sniff'em comment. Seriously - it may be that the gains made by reducing smoker demand for ICU beds are seen to outweigh the problem of queue jumpers. I don't know and I don't agree with the strategy, but there is at least a rational argument for vaxxing smokers if we can put aside our moral indignation. In my part of the world there are different priority strategies based on local factors. I recently heard that one of our small Pacific near neighbours (possibly Papua New Guinea) has opted to prioritise younger people based on the country's much younger (compared to Aus/US/Europe) age profile. The theory seems to be to get the worst spreaders first. OB [/QUOTE]
