    This is a public comment on behalf of a group of epidemiologists, public health students, and public health practitioners for submission to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Committee for A Framework for Equitable Allocation of Vaccine for the Novel Coronavirus. We believe that Equitable Vaccine Distribution is of the utmost importance as the next major step in COVID-19 response. The pandemic has disproportionately affected BIPOC populations by almost every measure--risk of infection, death, and economic toll--due to the structural racism and racial capitalism that underlies all major systems of American culture, including healthcare, public health response, resource allocation, and science communication
