Our topic of discussion this week is a reaction to the following sentence, pulled from a news story on Covid vaccine policy, some form of which is being reiterated in many news stories, and political messaging, nationwide:

"A disproportionate share of Covid vaccine has gone to wealthier and whiter residents."

How did this question suddenly be the one that is asked? Why is it the job of government to be guilt-ridden over the proportions of certain demographic groups who might be more or less inclined to partake of an offering? Does this focus make for good public policy or just good politics for Democrats?

We discuss these and other questions with Av Harris, a long-time Democratic government official in the state of Connecticut on this week's What Divides Us.
