Do you think these lotteries are rigged?
My state has had a big push to vaccinate people of color. In my own city this was the case according to the director of health with whom I corresponded when I was trying to get a shot.
So today's drawing gave prizes to an African-American man (adult prize) and a Latina woman (youth prize). This is in a state that is 80% white and where a higher percentage of whites were vaccinated than either of those two demographics. What are the chances this is just the state trying to get more of the target population to get the shot vs it being a fair and legit lottery?
ETA The man works in health care and throughout the pandemic there's been a narrative about how heroic this sector is for doing their jobs. The young woman is from one of the poorest communities hardest hit by the pandemic, where canvassers went door to door trying to sign people up. Hmmm.
