>> Weren't you the guy who was recently insisting that he always provided links?
I am the guy who always provides links when asked, if one is available. Far more than you or CJ.
>> The Carlson piece, regardless of the headline and what you took from it, addressed access to vaccines, not treatment. Not the same thing.
Your statement is false. From the link YOU provided:
“Several weeks ago, for example, the Food and Drug Administration released a fact sheet on a monoclonal antibody called sotrovimab. Sotrovimab is, at this point, the only monoclonal antibody treatment that has proven effective against the latest variant of the coronavirus. The FDA provided guidance for physicians in all 50 states, telling them how to determine which patients should get this critical treatment. Physicians, the FDA explained, should consider quote race and ethnicity as they administer treatments, and so physicians are doing that across the country. “
“In Utah, COVID patients are triaged by a scoring system that determines whether they qualify for these potentially life-saving antibody treatments. If you look at the scoring system, you’ll notice that race often counts more than physical health. The state of Utah, for example, gives two points to anyone simply for not being White. You win if you're not White. If you have congestive heart failure at the same time, you get one point. So if you're a White, congestive heart failure patient, that's not enough for you. ”
“In New York, writes Aaron Sibarium in a shocking new piece for the Washington Free Beacon, "Racial minorities are automatically eligible for scarce COVID-19 therapeutics, regardless of age or underlying conditions." It doesn't matter what kind of health they're in. All that matters is their skin color. Whites don't qualify. “
“This is not health care, it's punishment, it's punishment meted out on the basis of skin color. Now the justification for all of us, and the authorities could not be clearer about it, they've taken their ideas directly from America's colleges, they'll tell you why they're doing this, the justification is history. The United States has mistreated racial minorities in centuries past, they say. Therefore, Whites must suffer now. So your ancestors did bad things or people who looked like your ancestors did bad things. So now we're withholding medicine from you. They call this equity. It's not equity. It is collective punishment. It's the North Korean standard. It's the definition of evil.
And in case you're wondering, that's actually what it is, consider this: A young Haitian man could cross our border illegally today. Many have. That person could show up at a clinic in New York tomorrow for COVID treatment and get preference over an elderly American citizen purely because of his appearance. Think about that. The Haitian has not suffered from systemic racism in America, whatever that is. He just got here. But he goes to the front of the line anyway.
Now, that's not a criticism of the Haitian. It's not his fault. He didn't make the rules. But the Americans who did make the rules clearly didn't make them on the basis of public health. They made them in an effort to hurt a specific group of Americans. And they're succeeding. This is happening everywhere, even in places you would never expect it to happen.
So this is still happening on a wide scale. The question is: Why are Americans putting up with this? It's immoral. We're used to hearing that your kids kick into a certain school if they're the wrong color or get a certain job if they don't have the right appearance, and apparently have accepted that. The only sin is complaining about it, that makes you a monster.
But denying health care to American citizens because of their race? That is too much. Actually, it's terrifying.
>> he Carlson piece, regardless of the headline and what you took from it, addressed access to vaccines, not treatment. Not the same thing.
As you can see from the above quote from the link YOU posted, it is treatments as well as vaccinations.
>> It went on to talk about the original distribution of vaccines, which gave first priority to the elderly, then added that essential workers were given next priority because it was necessary to racially balanced the white elderly group.
Vaccinations were rolled out in a reasonable manner given the risk profiles. I take no issue with it. But treatments are another story: In some localities under Biden's direction, a simple point scoring system is used that elevates the score of a racial minorial to higher than that of a white person, even if the white person is sicker.
This is the Biden way.
And "people" buy this garbage and post it here.
It is garbage alright, but it is what your President is doing.
Perhaps you should read the article you posted. Your entire post was false. |
