Potentially Life-Saving Treatment for COVID-19 Denied on Basis of Race
Texas Scorecard ^ | November 15, 2021 | Sydnie Henry

Posted on 11/22/2021 11:18:20 PM PST by Angelino97

A Texas state agency is actively discriminating against white and Asian Texans, refusing them monoclonal antibody treatments because of their ethnicity.

Discrimination is at work in Texas’ Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as overseen by Gov. Greg Abbott. The potentially life-saving monoclonal antibody treatment for those affected with COVID-19 has demonstrated effectiveness if received early enough, yet it is being denied to some patients on the basis of race.

News broke over the weekend that the criteria for receiving the monoclonal antibody treatment excludes those of white or Asian descent who are younger than 65 and reasonably healthy, as determined by their body mass index and health history.

Harrison Smith tweeted a video of his interaction with the HHS worker determining whether he met the eligibility criteria.

When Smith asked if he could receive the treatment if he was black or Hispanic, the HHS worker replied, “That’s right.”

Smith added, “So, I’m being denied medical service because of my race?”

The HHS worker responded, “That’s the criteria that was set forth.” She went on to add, “You’re healthy and [have] no medical conditions, so research shows you should be able to fight off COVID.”

See how people gave zero problems being racist towards white people.

All you folks here who have opposed me for sayingnthe war on whites has been going on for decades.

Now they have checklists to deny you aactual effective care because you are white. AND THEY DON’T THINK THEY ARE RACIST FOR DOING SO.

Since all whites are allegedly racist, I suppose they figure the less, the better.

Well, it’s like this, White people get more benefit from the Sun which increases their ability to make Vitamin d.

That’s inherent systemic racism — and needs to be offset by letting people of color even out the scales by using the monoclonal antibodies.

That’s just Social Justice — doncha know?

It is a pacifier for blacks and Hispanics whose culture is getting destroyed by the left.

Many medicinal treatment methods by Africans and South Americans have been either destroyed or patented by socialists, and in exchange they give them a poison vaccine and a poison rhetoric against whites

The primary evil in the West right now is not Communism, or socialism, or Cultural Marxism (as the cowardly pundits of Conservative, Inc. like to say). The primary evil is anti-white racism.

Any "conservative" pundit or politician who refuses to name the problem -- who refuses to defend white people using the W word -- is useless. Big Media, Big Tech and Academia are united in spreading genocidal hatred against white people, especially against white Christians.

The Bolsheviks genocided even more people than did Hitler, and their primary victims were white Christians. It can happen again.

Imagine how it will be, when they succeed in getting our guns away from us, and eventually, I think they will. It still might be decades, for this to happen, but my opinion is, it will happen.

“South Africa is the future they have planned for us.”

Actually, I consider that a ‘best case’, where whites are still allowed to own firearms, use active protection methods (electrified fences, etc.), and use private security.

What they have in store here is FAR WORSE.

I did listen to the reason I really didn’t see an issue with the requirements for the treatment. It is a limited supply treatment and, yes, a 65 year old black man is more likely to benefit from MCAs then a healthy 35 year old white man. Treatments should be reserved for those who will most likely be saved.
However. I do want to see every single tool used to attack the woke grievance industry.
