Gov. Chris Sununu and his top health official told NHJournal Tuesday that New Hampshire is using racial and ethnic considerations in determining who gets early access to the limited supplies of COVID-19 vaccine.

“We have a plan in terms of allocating a certain amount of our vaccine to ensure equity,” Sununu said. “A plan to reach our communities that tend to be inequitably served by our healthcare system.”

True dat!

Minorities have traditionally been denied COVID vaccines by “the man”.

[lgjhn23]

Is this like “death panels” or something? /s

[Surrounded_too]

Death Panel incognito.

[NEMDF]

In Nebraska, our honorable Republican governor is being pushed by the metropolitan health departments to put “people of color” ahead in vaccine prioritization of even the elderly and those with compromised immunity.

If this ends up being adopted, the average 70-year-old Caucasian in fair health will be waiting a year behind the 15-year old African Americans and illegal Hispanics.

Institutional racism.

Let the lawsuits begin.

Vulnerability should be the *only* test.I fully understand that there are some black trans gendered lesbians who are more vulnerable than me. They should all get the shot before me. But I,OTOH,am very probably more vulnerable than some other such individuals. I should get the shot before them.

What a joke.

NH is whiter than white.

Just distribute it to those who want it and forget about skin color, otherwise you’re just a bunch of racists.

“Minorities have traditionally been denied COVID vaccines by “the man”.”

GREAT POINT. In fact this is the FIRST TIME in the history of the United States that minorities have even been given a vaccine for Covid-19, in nearly 250 years! It is SICKENING to live in such a RACIST country.

Ummmm...

The racial makeup of New Hampshire as of the 2010 Census was: White: 93.9% (92.3% non-Hispanic) Black or African American: 1.1% American Indian and Alaska Native: 0.2%

Coming from one of the whitest states in the United States........

I keep noticing how this word “equity” is displacing “equality.”

[SaveFerris]

[that New Hampshire is using racial and ethnic considerations in determining who gets early access to the limited supplies of COVID-19 vaccine.]

So, determining who gets what by..........skin color?

Gee, that seems racist.

[2harddrive]

This is RACIST.

[Pining_4_TX]

Yep. Remember when Oprah said all the old white people should die?

[2aProtectsTheRest]

That isn’t by accident. It’s the affirmative action version of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”.

Except that statement is probably not considered sexist and transphobic. Just wait for it: eventually Karl Marx will be trashed by the left as a right-wing fascist part of the white male patriarchy.

[puppypusher]

As a white male I hereby allow the government to issue my share of vaccine to any Non-white individual. I refuse to be a guinea pig and take it. Though someone needs to test it. Its just not going to be me.

[Yardstick]

Right, “equity” is the Bizarro version of equality and means more or less its opposite. It means government puts its thumb on the scales to achieve certain outcomes.
