As I understand it the objective of developing vaccines for Covid was to minimize deaths from the virus. Our current policy is not doing that as well as it could. We are vaccinating many people at low risk of death from Covid. For instance “front line workers” aged under 30 and 50 year old teachers who still won’t go back into the classroom.

The State of Connecticut keeps really good COVID data, here it is in summary from the Naked Dollar Blog: 

                    Deaths by Age Group As a Percentage of Group Population
     Age Range    Deaths/Population
  0-29                 0.001%

 30-49                0.014%
 50-69                0.122%
 70-79                0.584%
   80+                 2.424%
The last two groups, those 70 and over, have accounted for 81% of the deaths even though they are only 12% of the population. Those 80 and over have a 3,954 times greater chance of dying than those under the age of 30.

Since you should be skeptical about information on the internet here is a link to the source document. https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-Cases-and-Deaths-by-Age-Group/ypz6-8qyf

Based on this it seems to me that we should be making an effort to vaccinate everybody over 70 in the world rather than the current effort to vaccinate everybody in the United States regardless of age. The benefits to the United States would be that we would gain international goodwill and we would demonstrate that we do put science ahead of politics.
