Half the States Base Giving COVID Vaccines on Minority Status Instead of Age

2020-12-23

[Daily Mail via PJ] The Daily Mail reports that half the states in the country are giving COVID vaccines on the basis of minority status after first responders get it first. Black and brown communities suffer greater numbers of COVID infections, but the disease affects people by age more than by minority status. Just ask Washington Governor Jay Inslee and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who found out the hard way that elderly people in nursing homes are the most vulnerable. Indeed some states will prioritize nursing home residents, but minorities of all ages are next in line.

Public health officials will have to answer for why young Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Senator Marco Rubio got vaccines before a more vulnerable person, regardless of color. These members of Congress are young and are less vulnerable to COVID, so why are they getting the vaccine in the first wave?

#10 Austria.
Australia is beating up women for walking without a pass mask.

Someone please tell me the story about the pope giving the cocktail an a-ok even though it uses abortion pieces to manufacture is a bunk story.

#7 "Just a matter of time". Scarlet fever has made its return. Doctor said I haven't seen this in 17 years. Bacterial, so antibiotics will be use for that. I always wandered with increased populations what would happen. Buildings with no open windows. Air circulation systems in a closed environment. "Just a matter of time".

#6 With the current political climate nothing will change. Con job in action. Being a politician makes you exempt from everything. No long term studies have been done so guinea pigs are the first to go. So Whites will be blamed for that also. Soon you will be scanned before entering any place where there will be people. Then you have to be current on your Vaccines. Every time you use your cards at a scanner expect update and warning of vaccine expatriation. Comply or no service. Arrest will be scheduled.
