Fauci: COVID vaccine rollout needs to prioritize people of color

Infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci highlighted the need to address racial disparities in the COVID-19 vaccination process, per an interview with The New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday.

What he’s saying: "I think that's the one thing we really got to be careful of. We don't want in the beginning ... most of the people who are getting it are otherwise, well, middle-class white people."

"You really want to get it to the people who are really the most vulnerable ... you don't want to have a situation where people who really are in need of it, because of where they are, where they live, what their economic status is, that they don’t have access to the vaccine."

• "You absolutely have to respect the hesitancy of the minority population. They keep coming back and saying the history of Tuskegee," Biden's chief medical officer said, referring to a situation in the 1930s in which the federal government denied Black men in Alabama treatment for syphilis and secretly documented how the disease destroyed their bodies over decades.

• "They don't, can't and should not forget about it, because it happened and it was shameful."

• Biden's chief medical adviser noted that health officials must convince people of color "that the safeguards that have been put in place since then ... would make it essentially impossible for a Tuskegee situation to arise again."

Seventy-five years from now:

“Not long after vilifying their own ancestors for using Negroes* as guinea pigs for syphilis experiments, sciensters** proceeded to use that same demographic in the same way for COVAX— which, as it turned out, had a higher mortality rate than the disease itself.”

*History runs in cycles. Seventy-five years from now we’re*** likely to see “Black” and “African-American” as being racist and exclusionary, and “Negro” (the Hispanic word for black) preferred.

**In the same way as fraudulent bankers are referred to as “banksters”, fraudulent scientists— climatologists, virologists, immunologists— will be called “sciensters” in a call back to “gangsters”.

***Not me, of course. Seventy-five years from now my birthdate will be 127 years in the past, and my remains long since dust. (How very recursive, to have a footnote from within a footnote.)

Me too.

How did you get ivermectin?

‘Bad example He’s dead 💀’

millions of people who were Aaron’s age (86) have died without taking any vaccines, and will continue apace as time marches on...

your example of Hank as an example of’bad vaccine’ doesn’t hold water...

When all else fails—Play the Race Card. Maybe Blacks don’t rush in to take the shot because the government has lied to them so much they are skeptical of anything they say?

ND-—Fauci gets paid OVER $417,000 in Federal taxpayer funds annually to slap us all in the face.

Pretty sure those Section 8 winners are NOT contributing the major part of Income taxes to the IRS.

THIS is why you must oppose socialized medicine. They are now openly calling for choosing who gets medical care and who doesn’t ...

Next up, conservatives don’t get medical treatment until they convert to liberalism.

I’m certain that litmus test is coming.

Its part of their re-education efforts.
