Even in the abstract it says that hypothesis based on risk factors (which are accounted for in distribution) are the underlying cause of this distinction.

As well, this is analysis after the fact, and not at the time of the decision making - totally different.

So parent is emphatically wrong.

The article that I pointed to predated the vaccines by a number of months. So it is not analysis after the fact. The Reason article that I pointed to is at the same time as the CDC policy, and pointed out that other countries were adopting a different policy at the same time. Again not analysis after the fact.

The grandparent comment is more strongly stated than I would agree with. But not wrong.
