White New Hampshire Resident Files Discrimination Suit after Being Denied COVID Shot over Race
National Review ^ | September 28, 2021 | Brittany Bernstein

A white New Hampshire resident who was refused a COVID-19 vaccine by the state earlier this year because he is not a person of color and thus did not meet its “equity” requirements has filed a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) and Boyden Gray & Associates filed the complaint on Tuesday on behalf of the unnamed 28-year-old man, who was unable to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in April despite having diabetes and therefore being at “elevated medical risk to COVID-19,” according to the complaint.

When the man called the Public Health Council of the Upper Valley in Lebanon, N.H. to schedule a shot, he was informed that they were “only serving people of color” at that time, in line with the state’s equitable vaccine distribution policies.

Meanwhile, the complaint says appointments at a vaccination clinic held by the Public Health Council were reserved for people who identify as “Black, Indigenous or people of color,” regardless of whether those individuals were at an elevated risk for severe COVID-19. The Dartmouth college newspaper reported that the clinic provided vaccinations to young Asian college students despite denying vaccination to those at high risk.

“No one seeking medical care should ever be sent to the back of the line because of their race, but that is exactly what the state of New Hampshire did with COVID-19 vaccinations. HHS must investigate and hold New Hampshire accountable for its blatantly illegal discrimination,” said Rachel Morrison, an attorney and policy analyst for EPPC’s HHS Accountability Project.

The complaint notes that the state has received “substantial funds” from the federal government, including over $500 million from HHS to administer its health programs and $43 million to support vaccination specifically.

Regardless of one's view of the efficacy of covid vaccines, it's scary that the government is denying health care on the basis of race. New Hampshire's governor is a Republican, Chris Sununu. Why has he tolerated this?

Good for him.

“the Upper Valley in Lebanon, N.H.” - Dartmouth College is located in Hanover, NH, just north of lebanon. It is a very “progressive” area.

From within the prism of the COVID-19 hoax, this is a horrifying perversion of our culture; they are literally denying people healthcare on the basis of race. In truty, these people are better off not getting the vax, if it matters at all. This is all too insane to sustain itself.

Is that all it takes to get out of taking the shot?

Cool.

Globalist, never Trump bum.

Didn’t lift a finger to help Trump win New Hampshire in either 16 or 20. And then did nothing but b**** against the fraud that took place in Windham.

Watch him back his globalist scum friend Scott Brown’s wife Gail Huff in New Hampshire.

So sad what this country is becoming.

Two ways to look at this case:

1) The state was withholding medical treatment from a group of people based on their race.
2) Or... was the state using the other people as test subjects?

Because there isn't really any significant difference between democrats and republicans, they just want you to think there is based on what they say. Look at what they do instead.

“Black, Indigenous or people of color,”

Both of the people of color in the Upper Valley probably already had their shots.

Yes, Both = TWO

The state of NH is about 90% Caucasian, 3% Hispanic, 3% Asian, 1.5% Black

Smart Asian kids.
