"Cheating is in your blood." I don't cheat. -- NYC will consider race when distributing life-saving COVID treatments New York City will take a patient’s race into account when distributing potentially life-saving COVID treatments, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene revealed on their website. The city will “consider race and ethnicity when assessing individual risk,” reads the agency’s official guidance from Dec. 20, which adds that “longstanding systemic health and social inequities” can contribute to an increased risk of dying from COVID-19. The guidance applies to both the distribution of monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals like Paxlovid and Molnupiravir.... The race-based approach in treatment has already begun to have real-world consequences. One Staten Island doctor said he filled two prescriptions for Paxlovid this week and was asked by the pharmacist to disclose the race of his patients before the treatment was authorized. Both patients, who are white, were ultimately granted their prescriptions. nypost.com

Tonight comes the news that you cannot get lifesaving treatment form Covid unless you are Hispanic or Black. Period. Say what? Weren't you the guy who was recently insisting that he always provided links? Well, I found it anyway. Headline: Tucker Carlson: It's terrifying that Americans are being denied COVID treatment based on race This is both illegal and immoral foxnews.com The Carlson piece, regardless of the headline and what you took from it, addressed access to vaccines, not treatment. Not the same thing. 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. As evidence of his claim of causality, he quotes the CDC's Dooling but Google doesn't present that quote anywhere but in two pieces by Carlson. Hmmm. Then it twisted that into white people being denied treatment. And "people" buy this garbage and post it here. If that's your standard for drawing conclusions, no wonder that you buy the Big Lie...
