Very relevant to this thread is another new thread, "Shouldn't need to be said, but here we are," which started today. The watchdog/safeguard entities we've trusted for generations are tainted. How do we deal with a vaccine when politics have been superimposed on the FDA?

Doesn't matter much which groups are prioritized thanks to POTUS45.  Since POTUS45 has pushed pills and potions like a snake oil salesman this year, the number of people willing to take a vaccine as soon as it is available continues to drop.     The good news is that more of the first doses will be able to the willing in the lower priority groups.

POTUS45's business savvy group identified the business risk and potential supply chain challenges of a vaccine, so they sjould get credit for that tactic.  Though that silver lining in a history summary will be more than offset by the with very dark clouds from the handling of COVID overall (inconsistent messaging, deaths, disabilities, fiscal debt, job losses, business closures, erosion of USA global leadership in science, medicine and tech, etc.)

Please leave off the Trump bashing, not that he doesn't deserve bashing, but in two weeks he's going to be irrelevant)

So presumably you are aware that regardless of who wins the presidential election on Nov 3, the next president isn’t sworn in until January 20. 

So the Chosen One Trump — who has “done more for African Americans since Lincoln — and who knows — some people say he’s actually did more than Lincoln” — is president for at least 3 more months, which is most of the timeframe you are so worried about.

And also, I think your tone is just race-baiting.  Trying to stir up outrage, anger, finger-pointing and race-based anger like a certain someone I saw on TV just yesterday. There is evidence that certain groups are more likely to get Covid, and more likely to die of it if they catch it. It’s a reasonable decision to prioritize that group for vaccination. You can disagree with the plan, I disagree with parts of the plan, but you then take it into the direction of stirring up race-based anger.

Sigh. Make it January 20th if you will. How you guys are going to make do with an administration without Trump, I don't b know.

The point is Newsom.
