WASHINGTON — Nearly three out of every four shots administered at the federal government's Covid vaccination center in Cleveland went into white arms, according to site-by-site data provided exclusively to NBC News by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
That compares to a city-wide population that is 33.8 percent non-Hispanic white. At the same time, Black people were given just 10.8 percent of the shots, despite accounting for nearly half of Cleveland's residents. And, in figures that comport with broader national vaccination trends, Asian Americans got shots at a higher rate — and Hispanic people at a lower rate — than their share of the local population.
The full data set, covering 39 federal Community Vaccination Centers in 27 states, suggests President Joe Biden met his promise to "fight this virus with equity" in some parts of the country but not others. Where the administration fell short, it was not for lack of effort: Both political appointees and career officials at federal agencies say that equity was the watchword of the program.
Of the 4.6 million doses delivered to people whose race or ethnicity was reported, 41.9 percent were given to non-Hispanic whites, 25.5 percent were administered to Hispanic people and 14.7 percent went to Black people. Asian Americans accounted for 13.9 percent, 3.6 percent went to people who identified as multiracial or checked "other" on their forms, and half a percent went to Native Americans, Native Alaskans and Pacific Islanders.

Either that or withhold vaccines from white and “near-white” people until the numbers become “equitable.”
Guess letting people make their own decisions is no longer a thing.
pretty much
OH Yeah...
100%
Oh, just FU.
Anyone who wants a jab can go to any CVS, Walgreens or other drug stores.
I drive by signs all over the place advertising jabs “Available Here”.

That’s pretty much what we are seeing. It’s the reason we can’t fire people for not getting the vaccine. It would destroy our Diversity Initiative.”
What are the demographics of the folks that are having their jobs threatened (and some are at the ‘getting fired’ stage) because they haven’t gotten the shots?

Well, many are minorities because they are less likely to be vaxxed.
The news tells employers it will all be older white Trump supporters.

I like that insight.
Kill off Whitey.
Equity...a false virtue.
