The Empire State considers being a minority a health 'risk factor' due to 'longstanding systemic health and social inequities'

---------

The state of New York said it will prioritize non-White people in the distribution of COVID-19 treatments in short supply.

New York’s Department of Health released a document detailing their plan to distribute the treatments, such as monoclonal antibody treatment and antiviral pills.

The plan includes a section on eligibility for the scarce antiviral pills that people must meet to receive the treatment, including a line stating a person needs to have "a medical condition or other factors that increase their risk for severe illness."

One such "risk factor" is being a race or ethnicity that is not White due to "longstanding systemic health and social inequities"

"Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor, as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19," the memo reads.

The Empire State's plan received backlash online for discriminating based on ethnicity and skin color.

Maybe the NY Dept. of Health has decided on the “guinea pig” option for testing these new anti-viral drugs.

Be my guest. I’ve previously said that I would try to be less white, by stepping out of line for the Covid shots, and letting a minority take my place.
