indeed a very good demonstration --- the prioritising of vaccination group was a good example on how this can be changing quickly and in contradiction with what was just said before. In Switzerland -and other western countries- the major concerns were the economy suffering from lockdown and overcrowded hospitals, especially ICUs. So the logic would have been to first vaccinate people susceptible to go to ICU and/or at risk in the working age (the 55-65 with the critical comorbidities). Instead, they (and again, many western countries) decided to start with the ones (>75, elderly homes) that will neither contribute to the economy (ok, indirectly to the investors in elderly homes....) nor will go to the ICU -at least in most of the cases- anyway! On the top of it, since these candidates are more likely to die, it gave arguments to the anti-vaxxers. I'm not saying it was wrong per se, but it was not consistent in what was said to be the the main issue to be solved.
