I don't think anyone would disagree that if there were no cost to delaying supplies of the vaccine then we should do that. But that's simply not credible. The governor of Michigan seems to think that additional vaccine does would be helpful.[1]

Suggesting that effects on the order of the ones seen here is a good reason to delay the vaccine should make people doubt the ability of our public health authorities to make reasonable tradeoffs.

[1] Michigan's Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared her state a "COVID hotspot" as cases continue to rise and has asked the federal government to increase vaccines in response. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/cdc-director-michigan-vaccin...

Sure, maybe don't delay it in hotspots then. Or send my state's allocation of J&J to Michigan for the next couple weeks.
