Vermont accused of discrimination for moving minorities to head of vaccine line
The Washington Times ^ | 04/03/2021 | Valerie Richardson

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott has come under fire for a newly announced statewide vaccination protocol moving minorities to the head of the line based solely on their race. The Republican governor announced Thursday that Black, Indigenous and people of color, known as BIPOC, may now sign up to be vaccinated against COVID-19, two weeks before the state plans to make available vaccines to anyone over the age of 16.

Unconstitutional.

NB There is no FDA APPROVED VACCINE to prevent COVID.

Not to worry, it will take 12 minutes to vaccinate all of the nonwhite people in Vermont. Probably the ehitest state on the East Coast.

Our Vermont prison population is larger than the number living free in the state, thanks to all the NY, MA & PA drug dealing thugs.

The irony is that many black folks remember that the Tuskegee Experiment went on for _forty_ years while the white coats all looked the other way.

They don’t trust “whitey medicine”, and with good reason.

Massachusetts gave precedence to people living in public housing or receiving public assistance.

I have yet to get a ‘good’ answer to my question

“If I designate my shot to go to a woman, minority, gay etc”

will the ‘left’ quit blanketing me

as a sexist, racist, homophobe

due to the fact I am a straight white male?

(YES, I do know the answer <: <: <:)

1.4% black. Why do you think Bernie Sanders and Howard Dean moved there from Brooklyn?

95-percent white. 2-percent Asians. Around 1.6-percent black. Other than Maine, I don’t think there is a whiter state.

If you are 16 in Vermont and not white nor Asian, you can get vaccinated as per their psycho governor:

If you or anyone in your household identifies as Black, Indigenous, or a person of color (BIPOC), including anyone with Abenaki or other First Nations heritage, all household members who are 16 years or older can sign up to get a vaccine!

l am inclined to believe that ‘people of color’ are probably in a higher risk group for CV19.

Black people are hopefully taking vitamin D3.

Yeah.

I’m in the elderly group with underlying health issues. The more people they shove into the “vaccinator” meat grinder and discover debilitating and/or fatal side-effects, especially for older persons, the better for me.

So, I’m just wondering how long it will take the BIPOC etc. beneficiaries of this largess to realize someone demanding they go first isn’t necessarily doing them a favor.

Ah, liberal virtue signaling. The gift that never stops giving.

That DNA altering soup will probably turn all those PICs into conservative White people if it does not kill them. Might even forge an extreme work ethic too.

“The Republican governor announced Thursday that Black, Indigenous and people of color, known as BIPOC, may now sign up to be vaccinated against COVID-19, two weeks before the state plans to make available vaccines to anyone over the age of 16.”

The Governor added: “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. And please drink from the appropriate water fountain which is clearly marked.”

LOL!!!

That’s about it.

These northeast states of VT, NH, and ME are whiter than white.

And those of us white folks who are not liberals, IOW, can think and reason for ourselves, feel the same way.

Should that come to pass the left will be covered by their intentions being virtuous.

Well, we do know they want to delete some people. Over population. Elderly also, while pretending to help you stay alive.
