Blue states are getting more vaccines. For re-opening the economy, we wouldn't have it any other way.

Update to Strategic View

The US reached adult herd immunity almost two weeks ago. The distribution of vaccines is uneven across the states, with a larger share of doses going to "blue" states. We don't know whether this is intentional, or what the motives for it might be. But it is optimal for the re-opening of the economy to bolster the confidence of people in blue states who locked down the most, and experienced the deepest scarring to the animal spirits of capitalism.
