Marin residents misuse access codes meant for Black, Latino communities to get COVID-19 vaccines

Some residents of Marin County are misusing access codes intended for people living in Black and Latino communities to book vaccine appointments at the Oakland Coliseum through the state's vaccine scheduling system My Turn, SFGATE has learned.

The codes are part of a California program to remedy inequities in vaccine distribution and provided to community organizations to distribute to vulnerable communities for vaccine appointments.

Residents of other Bay Area counties could also be misusing these codes, but the instances SFGATE learned of were specifically in Marin.

"We have set aside a number of vaccines a day for local community organizations who can may serve non-English speakers, elderly people … any number of people who may need a vaccine but may not be able to access it via an online system," said Brian Ferguson, a spokesperson for the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

He said people with vaccine appointments aren't asked to verify their eligibility with documentation at the Coliseum site.

Just fighting reverse racism.

Also: “He said people with vaccine appointments aren’t asked to verify their eligibility with documentation at the Coliseum site.”

Hey. Works for voting.

This is where the churches usually play a role...they can get these people to the polls easy enough. They need to help these people out.

There is only racism. There is no such thing as reverse racism.
It’s not a lesser action to trash Whites.

I thought people could identify as anything they wanted. I mean, if Liz Warren can pretend to be an Indian ...

I know, and I assumed you know.
It’s just that the term is used to denote a difference, and lesser “crime”.

I understand...I use it as a shorthand to try to illustrate exactly that point, but it just as often sounds as if I embrace it.

I view it in much the same light as the term “Hate Crime”.

Gotcha, and I get it.

It’s just harder to tell in text rather than verbal.

These codes are illegal, discriminatory, and unconstitutional when distributed according to race/country of origin of grandparents. OK if done by age or disability.

Next they’ll be giving codes for priority in receiving government checks.

These are ultra white millionaire liberals from Marvelous Marin playing the elite game to get a vaccine. Most could not tell you where a church is.

Apparently, Joe Bidet and his crack Covid team have been discussing the need to do that.

There is no such thing as racism. Using the word “racism” is actually promoting leftist BS; Communists invented the word. Racism is just one of many things the left uses to divide people into groups that can be manipulated.

By all means. Why should “minorities” be expected to expend the same efforts as white people and Asians are expected to expend? /sarc
