Harvard Medical School doctors advocate race-based discrimination to favor minorities, calling it ‘medical restitution’
American Thinker ^ | 9 Apr, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

They're saying the quiet part out loud: if you are White and arrive in an ambulance, desperately needing admission to one of the country’s premier hospitals, you would be turned away at the emergency room door because of your race.

Ruling class members are starting to state out loud the heretofore tacit punitive anti-White discrimination they seek in order to atone for ‘structural racism.' Two professors at Harvard Medical School, Drs. Bram Wispelwey and Michelle Morse, have published an open call for racial discrimination in the delivery of medical services in the name of remedying “structural racism.” The article, titled “An Antiracist Agenda for Medicine,” has attracted criticism from conservatives, but so far no rebuke from Harvard Medical School or Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the Harvard-affiliated hospital, where they practice.

The authors openly state that they are drawing on “Critical Race Theory” and advocate for reparations to paid to (all? Including Barack Obama and Kamala Harris, both of whose Black ancestors were slave-owners) Blacks, but see that measure as insufficient. They want open discrimination against Whites (and maybe Asians) in order to favor Blacks and what they call “Latinx” (a patronizing label favored by progressives but shunned by most Hispanics).

[W]e have developed what we hope will be a replicable pilot program for direct redress of many racial health care inequities—one that takes seriously the limitations of colorblind solutions and empowers institutions in variety of contexts to take decisive action to achieve racial equity.

Building on calls for reparations, we call this a vision for medical restitution. Federally paid reparations—urgent and long overdue—would help to mitigate racial health inequities (including those seen in COVID-19), but they would not, on their own, end institutional and structural racism.

Shut up and practice medicine. Doctors aren’t special, any more than sports stars or entertainers - we admire you for your talents, among which are not included any special political or moral wisdom.

It wasn’t going to happen but the Capitol should have been presented with patriots at the level of their BLM and Antifa. I am not talking the clown show of misfits some of whom had good intentions but they are now rotting in jail or dead as Ashli. I think the left was jolted a little by pushback and militarized. I think where this country is headed if they keep steam rolling us will be pure horror. It looks like the only answer is the unthinkable answers.

This has been going on since the 80's.

I know several well qualified candidates who were denied access to Med School because they were white.

Whites need to wear medical bracelets declaring themselves as LGBT Muslim Romulans.

Just to let everyone know I've just left a voicemail at the Public Relations office of Brigham & Women's Hospital expressing my shock at having read such a story and asking them to confirm or deny it. I gave my phone number and email address in my message.

To be honest I don't expect them to respond.

However,anyone with some free time and a spare dime might want to call their main number...(617) 732-5500...and ask for Public Relations and leave a message like I did.

To anyone who does call I might suggest that he/she refrain from mentioning Free Republic...for obvious reasons.

And just to make clear...this story,if true,is of massive importance because Brigham & Women's Hospital is truly one of the finest...and most famous...hospitals in the world.It,and Massachusetts General Hospital,are the two largest and most important teaching affiliates of Harvard Medical School. I'm sure I needn't spell out what this could mean for health care nationwide if the story is true.

Affirmative action is systemic/institutional racism/sexism.

In medicine, affirmative action can kill.

On April 30, 1996, Sen. Edward Kennedy vigorously defended racial preferences in a statement...

He offered proof. “Dr. Bernard Chavis is a perfect example,” Kennedy said. “He is the supposedly less qualified African-American student who allegedly “displaced’ Allen Bakke at the University of California-Davis, and triggered the landmark case. Today, Dr. Chavis is a successful Ob-Gyn in central Los Angeles...

...warning of Chavis’s “inability to perform some of the most basic duties required of a physician,” the Medical Board of California suspended his license. Administrative law Judge Samuel Reyes found Chavis guilty of gross negligence and incompetence in the treatment of three patients _ one of whom died at his hands. Letting him “continue to engage in the practice of medicine” the judge ruled, “will endanger the public health, safety and welfare.”
