Study: Reparations for slavery could have reduced COVID-19 infections and deaths in US (Hurl alert)
EurekAlert ^ | 02/11/2021 | Harvard

Posted on 02/12/2021 10:12:37 AM PST by aimhigh

New study suggests monetary reparations for Black descendants of people enslaved in the United States could have cut SARS-CoV-2 transmission and COVID-19 rates both among Black individuals and the population at large.

Researchers modeled the impact of structural racism on viral transmission and disease impact in the state of Louisiana. The higher burden of SARS-CoV-2 infection among Black people also amplified the virus's spread in the wider population.

Reparations could have reduced SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the overall population by as much as 68 percent.

If all de White people commit hari-kari, we’d have about 150 million fewer people in this country and then the deaths from COVID would decrease.

Less rioting in cities across the USA could have reduced cases and deaths. Fauci said he wouldn’t say this because it would be political. Does he realize what he admitted??

Duct tape over all facial orifices would have also reduced covid cases. By no less than 100%.

For their analysis, the researchers paired sophisticated data analytics and computational tools with commonly used epidemiologic modeling methods to calculate the impact of structural racism on infection rates among Black and white populations in Louisiana.

IOW, they made it up.

It is astonishing.

I am going to bookmark this article.

I just purchased a Thomas Sowell t-shirt with a likeness of his face on it, and a quote from him:

“The Road To Hell is paved with Ivy League Degrees.”

When anyone asks me why, I will print this article and give it to them.

Harvard Medical School. This is what they are doing there.

Is this from the “Ministry of Truth” or from The Babylon Bee?
This article is like the stuff that Bess Truman used to call fertilizer. Only worse.

This is what you get when people start with their conclusions and then work backwards to come up with arguments.

The article fails to name the researchers, and where they work. The article does mention the publication in which this tripe was published.

Liberals have a guilt complex.

They think reparations will square them with blacks.

It won’t.

Really... can we just start putting out counter propaganda?

People that owned AR-15s had fewer incidents of COVID than non-gun owners.

Businesses in states that respected constitutional rights prospered better than those in blue states that took away their rights.
