They are using race to preferentially treat higher risk groups of people.

Sounds like the way you should treat people - higher risk first. Very click bait title.

Men are more likely to die of COVID and more likely to be intubated. Should we start preferentially treating men over women? Why did they not include this advice as well?

The article goes into more detail, asserting that they are using race as a proxy for likelihood of being vaccinated.

Government shouldn't be making decisions based on race, period, full stop. Anything relevant to health should be decided by doctors, outside the purview of politicians and bureacrats.
