At least two COVID-19 vaccines are scoring major successes in trials. That means a vaccine might be ready by year’s end, but not in sufficient quantity to vaccinate more than 300 million Americans. Frontline health workers and national-security personnel will be top priority, but after that, who comes next?
A federal committee is considering pushing blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans to the front of the line, ahead of whites.
Dr. José Romero, who chairs the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, wants minority groups to get favored treatment. Billionaire donor Melinda Gates likewise is pushing for blacks to get vaccinated right behind health workers but ahead of “people with underlying health conditions, and then people who are older.”
Americans need to speak up, before such a plan is adopted. If the virus surges, getting the vaccine could mean the difference between leaving your house safely or being shut-in, or even the difference between life and death. Making race a factor is unjustified by medical science and will only inflame the racial hostilities already roiling America.
If blacks were more vulnerable because of race, as they are with sickle-cell anemia, there would be a medical argument for racial preferences. But scientific data show no direct causal connection between race and COVID-19 deaths.
Scientists in the United States and Europe have plentiful data on who gets infected and who is least likely to survive COVID-19, and their findings can help prioritize who should get vaccinated.
Forget using crude racial proxies.
Who is at risk of dying? The elderly, above all, and anyone with medical conditions such as heart disease, morbid obesity, hypertension and diabetes.

Heres your shot now give me your right hand for the “covid-19 “ ID chip.
They want to do phase 2 testing on black people?
That’s raciss.
Fine.
Let them be the guinea pigs for the new vaccination.
Volunteer prisoners first, then blacks?
but not in sufficient quantity to vaccinate more than 300 million AmericansIn my case make that 299,999,999.
As category-thinkers established control over Russia and surrounding nations, citizens of captured Poland described category-thinkers as trained Poll parrots.
Of what value to the individual is a vaccine for last years cold?
My thoughts too
Side effects may take a long time to manifest
This is a huge clinical trial for a coronavirus vaccine
Such a vaccine has never been developed
The virus is mutating
It affects different ages, blood groups and ethnicities in different ways
Gates I read wants a vaccine that will alter DNA
What could possibly go wrong
Reminds me that Bill Clinton may have gotten a lot of sympathy if he had just come out and said, "Look, if you were married that bitch, what would you do?"
Liberal eugenics
Somewhere I heard that doing things based on race was...RACIST.
We have just time traveled back to the 1930s:

“Volunteer prisoners first, then blacks?”
What’s the difference?
You know that’s what will happen when they get sick. And they will get sick because they’ll be injected with the virus.
“A federal committee is considering pushing blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans to the front of the line, ahead of whites. “
actually, that suits me just fine ... let Tanisha and Jawan try it first unless they’re smart enough to realize that they’re being used as guinea pigs for the white people ...
