    Challenges→Health professionals and first responders should receive high priority for scarce epidemic vaccines on grounds of contribution and reciprocity.

    Key Terms

    Entrench(as describing what happens to the worry about backward causation)
    To make a problem or concern more firmly established and harder to get rid of; to strengthen rather than weaken something.
    Marginalized populations(as used in social justice philosophy)
    Groups of people who are pushed to the edges of society and treated as less important or powerful—often because of their race, gender, class, or other identity.
    Occupational contribution(as used in social and economic philosophy)
    The value or work that someone adds to society through their job—basically, what they produce or accomplish at work.
    Priority
    A priority is something you decide is more important than other things, so you handle it first. When you have many tasks or goals, you rank them by urgency or importance to figure out what needs your attention right away versus what can wait. For example, paying your rent might be a higher priority than buying new shoes because it's essential for your wellbeing.

    Social hierarchies(the existing power structures that the vocation-relative approach preserves)
    Systems where some people are ranked as 'higher' or more important than others based on their job, wealth, birth, or status. Medieval feudalism is an example where kings were at the top and peasants at the bottom.
    Systematically disadvantage(as what unfair principles do to certain people)
    To regularly and structurally harm a group of people through how a system is designed, rather than by accident or individual choice.
    grounding(Drawn from contemporary metaphysics; proposed as potentially applicable to understanding the foundations of legality.)
    A metaphysical relation in which some entities or facts are more foundational than others, providing a hierarchical structure of the world.
