| Surgeon Gen. Adams Calls Out Medical Racism Amid Pandemic |
| 2020-12-28 |
| [OANN] Surgeon General Jerome Adams is calling attention to the history of medical racism across the U.S. amid the pandemic. During an interview on Sunday, Adams said the issue needs to be addressed immediately in order to properly combat the ongoing coronavirus crisis within the black community. His comments came after alleged racist medical care led to the death of a black doctor in Indiana. In a recent video, Dr. Susan Moore was allegedly begging for treatment in the hospital before she passed. Adams said in order to combat the coronavirus in the black community, we need to acknowledge the past and make adjustments. According to a number of reports, communities of color in the U.S. have a greater chance of being impacted by the pandemic, primarily due to undiagnosed and untreated pre-existing conditions. Adams also touted the work of a black female doctor who helped develop ‘Moderna’s’ COVID-19 vaccine. He commended the vaccine by saying, “We need to walk the talk,” citing his recent vaccination. Adams said the reason he was vaccinated on live television was to show the public that he looked at the data from both his scientist and doctor perspective. The Surgeon General also praised the vaccine’s effectiveness and noted the trial groups were made up of diverse participants. |

| #4 he is spouting this PC nonsense in an attempt to overcome the higher resistance to getting the Covid vaccine in the Black community, rather than believing it himself Exactly. This is precisely the expected behavior under the Woke Dispensation. You have to signal assent, make gestures toward the holy pieties, genuflect and cross yourself 3x before stating any view that might be construed as conflicting with the narrative. Invoke St Floyd's holy name. Do penance and seek absolution for your sins. Drop a Benjamin or two (or a million) in the BLM collection basket. So this intelligent and competent doctor has to recall the Martyrs of Tuskegee before going on to point out that US blacks today are in the grip of racist and foolish superstitions -- like the ghetto myth that the CIA concocted AIDS in order to wipe out the black population |

| #3 I suspect — or hope, anyway — that he is spouting this PC nonsense in an attempt to overcome the higher resistance to getting the Covid vaccine in the Black community, rather than believing it himself. I believe that statistically there is more and worse Covid among African-Americans, very likely a combination of lower serum levels of Vitamin D, higher rates of obesity and therefore diabetes and heart disease, higher incidence of asthma (which apparently leads to lower rates of contracting the disease, but worse outcomes for those who do contract it), higher density living quarters, and a higher proportion of the working population being unable to work from home, and finally for all sorts of reasons a delay in seeking and getting treatment until the disease has reached a dangerous point. Accusations that he is nonetheless an Oreo in 3...2...1... |

| #1 we need to acknowledge the past and make adjustments... communities of color in the U.S. have a greater chance of being impacted by the pandemic... due to ... pre-existing conditions. Did he actually just claim that black people are more susceptible because they're biologically inferior? Wait... he's black?! |
