New York says it will prioritize non-White people in distributing low supply of COVID-19 treatments

The Empire State considers being a minority a health 'risk factor' due to 'longstanding systemic health and social inequities'

---------

The state of New York said it will prioritize non-White people in the distribution of COVID-19 treatments in short supply.

New York’s Department of Health released a document detailing their plan to distribute the treatments, such as monoclonal antibody treatment and antiviral pills.

The plan includes a section on eligibility for the scarce antiviral pills that people must meet to receive the treatment, including a line stating a person needs to have "a medical condition or other factors that increase their risk for severe illness."

One such "risk factor" is being a race or ethnicity that is not White due to "longstanding systemic health and social inequities"

"Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor, as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19," the memo reads.

The Empire State's plan received backlash online for discriminating based on ethnicity and skin color.

Asians, too? You know. The people with higher average school records and incomes than whites. Do they get preference too? How about blacks from Africa who are legal immigrants? They score pretty high too. Do they get preference?

Doing this is a federal felony, BTW. Not that any racist RAT will ever face any consequences.

“...non-White people”

How are the NYC medical personnel going to determine that?

New York politicians are a bunch of racist b*tches. Putting the voters on their plantation ahead of Caucasian taxpayers.

For example there are three types of humanoids on the planet.

Mongoloid, Caucasoid and Negroid.

How much of which makes you non white?

How about "high cheekbones" and "my great-grandmother would always tan very easily?"

Good enough?

No doubt there is going to be a shortage of monoclonal drugs.

Got this e-mail this morning from a leading BOSTON Hospital.

`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Dear Patient,

You are probably seeing in the news that the rates of COVID-19 infection are rising again. If you are not vaccinated, the most important thing you can do is get vaccinated. Also, if you are eligible to receive a booster and have not, you should do this as soon as possible. Please encourage others to get vaccinated or get a booster as well.
snip
Monoclonal antibody therapy and antiviral therapy
The Federal Drug Administration has issued emergency use authorization for several investigational monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies can help the immune system respond to better fight the virus. The NIH COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines provide information about these drugs.

Sotrovimab is the only monoclonal antibody effective against the COVID-19 omicron variant. We have limited supplies of this therapy. Sotrovimab therapy is available for patients who have symptomatic COVID-19. To receive this treatment, you must have COVID-19 confirmed by either antigen or PCR testing and be within 10 days of the start of symptoms. You must also have a health condition that makes you more likely to have severe COVID-19 infection. Please note that sotrovimab is not authorized to prevent COVID-19 for those who are exposed.

If you think you might be eligible for treatment, please contact your primary care provider. They can place a referral for you for treatment. Please note that due to the limited supply, not all patients referred will be able to receive the treatment. snip
Sincerely,

Thomas Sequist, MD
Chief Medical Officer
Mass General Brigham

In that case whites need to prioritize paying their taxes.

It’s probably a good idea. Most whites left are the idiot anti vaccine people anyway. They’ve had close to a year.

Let’s guess who’s paying for the Covid treatments for those non-whites.

And as long as these “vaccines” are “safe and effective”, it’s just racism against caucasions.... no problem.

BUT... What is it when the truth REALLY comes out about them NOT being so ‘safe and effective’?
