Newsom COVID 'Equity' Plan: Vaccinate 2 Million Latinos or California Won't Reopen. This Should Work Out Well
PJ Media ^ | MAR 05, 2021 | VICTORIA TAFT

Posted on 03/06/2021 11:12:57 AM PST by artichokegrower

California Governor Gavin Newsom has completely changed his response to COVID—again—this time leveraging opening the state for all Californians on the backs of low-income Latinos living in the areas with the highest rates of the illness.

In the name of “equity,” Newsom announced Thursday that 40% of all the state’s available vaccines will go to Latino communities in the Central Valley and in pockets of LA because Latinos have suffered the most death and illness from COVID.

And there’s a catch: Until the Latinos in these areas take the vaccine in higher numbers, California will stay locked down

My wife and I got vaccinated at a community health center that caters to the Latino community in our area. They posted online that they had appointments in the next few hours that they needed to fill so we signed up.

Many Kalifornikans are ignoring everything the gov blowviates and many Ca business are fully open, in Texas.

If that is not a big old F U to the recalled one I do not know what is.

Dr. Ghaly is suffering like the rest of us during the shut down. Half a million a year

This unelected bureaucrat -- this self-described "medical expert" -- has done severe damage to California's economy and society in the name of Covid. He has personally hurt -- deliberately harmed! -- nearly 40,000,000 American citizens who have the misfortune to live here since "Little Gavin" put him in charge of public health policy ... and there remains no end in sight to the incredible damage this @sshole has done to tens of millions of people ... tens of millions!

It will take a decade for California and for Californians to recover from what this jerk has done since his reign of terror began ... and he has done so with deliberate intent and by setting aside every other consideration except the virus! ... the virus!! ... the virus!!!

It's still early, but I need a scotch!

Maybe this is the way they plan to get rid of the illegal aliens - kill them off with the mRNA vaccines?

why should one ethnic group get favored treatment in the distribution of medicine?

Why should one ethnic group be targeted with a risky new "treatment" with untested long-term effects.

Racism by the governor?

Schools, gyms, movie theaters, indoor dining, indoor churches mostly closed in most counties in CA. Some elem schools are open two days a week.

Several times over the last five to ten years, I have proposed
closing down all public schools for a year or so.

Lease the properties to private enterprise groups, and start
them off again with non-union, non-whacked out Leftists.

Review all teaching books and materials and refuse any of these
things that don’t teach wholesome values and respect for our
government.

Do teach them what is proper and improper for our government
to be doing.

If the members vote to unionize, just close the school.

Start off a new school the next week on another leased site
and don’t hire a single teacher from the former school.

Don’t hire anyone who won’t sign a mutual quit clause document.

Then get back to teaching our kids the things they need to
know.

Don’t allow a psychologist, counselor, social worker,
activist Leftist, or state public education offical on the
property.

Put the homeless in the schools. There must be thousands and thousands in CA. Post guards so they can’t get away and at least they’re off the streets. Let them tent on the football fields if they have a hankering for home. Have the teachers do the cleaning and cooking.

Newsome is one of the elite “Guardians” of a state in our republic. Plato talked about the “Guardians” and “Imperfect Societies” in his work “The Republic”.

Who will guard us from our “guardians”? Who will protect us from our “protectors”? If you want to be sick to your stomach...read it.

Gavin Newsome is evil.

p. 216

“These officers will take the children of the better Guardians to a nursery...

...the children of the inferior Guardians and any defective offspring of the others, will be quietly got rid of.”

Once 2 million vaccine doses are given out in those neighborhoods, the state will make it easier for counties to move through reopening tiers that dictate business and school reopenings. Right now, a county can move from the most restrictive purple tier to the lower red tier based on several metrics, including having 7 or fewer new COVID cases per 100,000 people per day over a period of several weeks. That metric will change to 10 new cases or fewer. In the red tier, businesses such as restaurants and gyms can open for indoor services at limited capacity.

https://www.jems.com/coronavirus/ca-to-give-40-of-vaccine-doses-to-vulnerable-areas/

I am sick and tired of this tier system...If Governor Gavin is recalled, I hope that this tier system disappears...

My prediction is that this 40% business will slow down the vaccination process in CA...

Governor Gavin is not actually telling counties that they will be prevented from moving on to next tier if 40% requirement is not met...When I first heard the news, I thought that he was threatening counties to do his vaccine policies...Not really...He is just offering rewards for counties to implement his policies...

In any case, I don't like what he is doing with vaccinations...Just offer vaccination to people who want to get it...Ethnic background should not matter...I don't want to force people to get vaccination...I think there are many Hispanics and blacks who don't want to get vaccinations...Their opinions should be respected...

I would recommend not mixing these people with an environment
with lots of kids in it. Makes it too easy for some idiot on
the staff to blame it all on Capitalism.

What he is talking about is, of course, illegal invaders.

Meanwhile ICE is releasing known positive Virus infectees into Texas as payback for Governor Abbot reopening the state.
