| Withholding vaccine from elderly whites will 'level the playing field a bit' |
| 2020-12-19 |
| [WND] A University of Pennsylvania expert in health policy says older people should not necessarily be on a priority list for COVID-19 vaccinations because they tend to be white. And making them a lower priority will "level the playing field a bit." The expert, Harald Schmidt was quoted in a New York Times article titled "Who should get the coronavirus vaccine first?" "Older populations are whiter," he said. "Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit." |

| #22 Ivermectin seems to be effective at preventing hospitalization and death, so how long will they suppress that, like that have done Vit D zinc Bvits and HCQ or other meds with anti inflammatory like the -mab arthritis drugs? |

| #21 and who will be responsible for the vaccine distribution. Most people don’t get sick from it, or not sick enough to matter. Of those who do get sick enough to need treatment, most can be treated by some combination of the many things now available in addition to the hydroxychloroquine/azithromax/zinc combination that frontline doctors have been using in increasing numbers since that Orthodox Jewish doctor in New Jersey (or wherever he was in the greater New York City area, anyway) announced it and was driven out of his practice as a result. So, the vaccine will get us to herd immunity more quickly, which will shut up all the lockdown enforcers, and help those working on the frontlines and the elderly trapped in retirement homes. Bottom line for most of us here, whether we get the vaccine first or a few weeks later, after others expose the side effects the hard way, doesn’t matter. I’ll primarily be taking the vaccine so that Mr. Wife, trailing daughter #1, and final daughter will finally calm down about the situation, and in the hope that, like the flu shot, when I do catch Covid-19 later, it won’t make me as sick as it would have otherwise. |

| #19 So lets see, old white people die and that levels the playing field? * Lower numbers mean nursing homes cut staff who are majority people of color in many areas * Dead old white people savings goes to their children who are now closing in on their golden years and thus more likely to vote GOP * Less people in nursing homes means less DEM voter theft. Not really leveled out the way I think this guy guesses. |

| #17 So someone in the media finds some dumbass willing to spew hate for the record. Now everyone is fighting over who gets the shots first. The sewing of division continues and we, the dumbass sheep with an ego are fighting amongst ourselves over nothing. Who cares who gets it first. Give it to the blacks first! Then some professor will accuse us of testing an unproven vaccine on the poor blacks. I say let them have it. I'm not taking it anyway. |

| #16 One theory is they want to kill off the elderly before there is a breakthrough in telomere restoration that would crank the elderly back to younger years. They would then vote to hang Democrats. |

| #15 Schmidt's comments are made a bit more worrisome by Biden's choice of HHS Secretary Xavier Bacerra who is just radical enough to take them to heart and who will be responsible for the vaccine distribution. |

| #11 One thing is for sure, since he is a policy wonk at a university he is completely non-essential and useless so he should get the vaccine last if at all. |

| #5 Also, all those old, privileged white people who built the greatest nation on earth will be gone and their progeny will consume the seed corn they left behind on exciting projects like social justice, reparations and avocado toast. |

| #4 Let’s have the GIVERnment force people to take a rushed vaccine but exclude old white people. Hmmm. Is Harald trying make non-whites think twice about getting to the front of the line? I remember when people use to say AIDS was created to eliminate black people (maybe Harald was part of that crowd in the 80s). |

| #3 A psychological ploy to change the mind of people reluctant to be vaccinated? |

| #2 Let it be so. Serious long term effects have not been established. Gates involvement to me means reduced population. I never suffer flu viruses. Bacterial however is another weak point as yet for myself. |

| #1 Well, Harald Schmidt certainly shouldn't get the vaccine or a paycheck. Guilty of Whiteness as charged. |
