Just listening to the surgeon general. He wants to especially the thank POC researchers. POC scientists. POC test subjects.
"It would truly be a tragedy if people cannot get the vaccine or WON'T take it because of mistrust"
“Stating POC helped develop the vaccine is such a stupid and ineffective argument to try to ease any concerns.”
Reminds me a bit of the O.J. case. Turns out that the some of the L.A.P.D. was crooked and did plant evidence. People in the ‘hood knew that, people out of the ‘hood couldn’t believe it, but it turned out to be true.
“Plumbing matters too. ;)”
Nope, you dinosaur!
I yearn for the day that we as human beings no longer find a need to place an adjective before the word American.
Here, Here....
So wait, does that mean he’s not “especially” greatful for the white people’s contributions?
The concept of stand and fight never even occurred to them.
Is he GAY????
Who you callin’ a fassil?!
“So wait, does that mean he’s not “especially” greatful for the white people’s contributions?”
Of course not. That’s just a given that they’ll contribute.
POC? does that mean Picker of Cotton?
“Reminds me a bit of the O.J. case. Turns out that the some of the L.A.P.D. was crooked and did plant evidence. People in the ‘hood knew that, people out of the ‘hood couldn’t believe it, but it turned out to be true.”
Oddly, the black community and their mistrust may have been the more appropriate view towards those in power than the trusting white community has had.
I wonder what the response would be if he had said, “I want to thank all the white scientists, researchers, and test subjects”.
The surgeon general is an asshole.
Gag me!
“This is like theologians in the middle ages talking about everything through the prism of angels and heads of pins.”
In fairness, there is doubt as to whether those theologians ever actually did that - see the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_many_angels_can_dance_on_the_head_of_a_pin%3F
Which would mean that theologians in the middle ages were more sensible than the people of today.
Don't fall for that it's just the "color of ones skin" crap. There are more genetic traits that separate races than just the color of their skin. I won't mention any here because it's socially taboo.
Are people of color the same as colored people?
Its too bad that the real heroes, the white people who pushed all of this out don’t get credit. BTW, the head of the FDA that fast tracked this is a honky!
Some weeks ago, I heard that a couple of French (?) scientists had said that they wanted to test a vaccine on Africans, and this frightened Africans, not wanting to be guinea pigs. (My understanding was that this was African Africans, not African Americans - maybe something like Tuskegee had happened there.) What I’ve now heard is the opposite: Africans are concerned that they’ll have to wait to get the vaccine, and they don’t want to wait. (Again, I’m talking about Africans in Africa.)
