White people infected with COVID in New York State - the hardest hit state in the country - are in jeopardy of being turned away from potential lifesaving treatments in favor of other more at-risk races because of a national shortage of two promising types of medical treatments.
In a shocking memo sent out by the state's Health Department, white residents were told not to bother trying to get Pfizer's Paxlovid pill or monoclonal antibody treatments.
'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 document reads.
The guidance comes as New York State set a one-day record of 76,555 for positive COVID tests, fueled by the Omicron variant, with more than 41,000 of those cases coming from New York City, according to data compiled by the health department.
However, the agency's website does not detail the races of those infected.
Data from New York City's official site shows the vaccination rate of white people at 63 percent, compared with 75 percent for Latinos, 58 percent for black residents and an astronomical 97 percent for Asians.
The state's missive, titled 'COVID-19 Oral Antiviral Treatments Authorized and Severe Shortage of Oral Antiviral and Monoclonal Antibody Treatment Products,' sets out a list of eligibility requirements for two oral antiviral treatments that had been touted as 'available and lifesaving' by the organization in an October press release.
In this week's notice, however, department officials announced that the state was facing severe shortages in the availability of the two antiviral therapies, and subsequently listed a series of eligibility factors - such as age, weight, and mildness of symptoms - that practitioners are to take into account when administering the treatments.

Too bad Republicans are TOO SCARED to advertise this crap to hopefully red-pill more white voters, but instead only care about cutting the capital gains tax rate.
If I was black I’d be real skeptical of any meds for blacks only. Fentanyl pills?
Told you his replacement will be even worse.
I smell a lawsuit, but it will take so much time to work it’s way through the courts that damn few will benefit when the policy is found unconstitutional.
anti-white = racism. Discrimination based on race is racism.
Yep, if I go back in Freep history I’ll find this comment I posted where I said “Why get rid of Cuomo? They’ll just replace him with someone just as bad if not even worse” and here we are. She is even more batsh— insane that he is
Woe to their enemy tribes if that happens.
The new governor is who.
Hochul wants to empty NY state, so she can sleep.
