Dr. Wald brings up the major issues of what determinants should be used to choose the recipients of a limited supply of vaccine.

How can we avoid racism, ageism, economism, among other potential bias in the measure systems?

What is the most socially just way?

Dr. Broverman leads a spirited discussion in a resource scarce setting (i.e. low amount of vaccine) who should get this life saving treatment?  What criteria could be used?  What should one use?  Who should make these decisions?
