New York is Using Race to Determine Access to a Limited Supply of Life-Saving COVID Treatments
Substack ^ | 12 31 2021 | Glen Greenwald

“Monoclonal Antibody Treatments Save Lives,” announced the New York City Department of Health in an October 26 public notice. These treatments “are available and lifesaving,” the agency said, noting that they “have averted at least 1,100 hospitalizations and at least 500 deaths among people treated in New York City.” The agency urged the public to seek out these monoclonal antibody treatments as soon as possible: “When given early after symptom onset, mAb treatments can decrease the risk of hospitalization and death due to COVID-19, which is why it is crucial to get tested for COVID-19 as soon as symptoms begin – the sooner someone is tested, the sooner treatment can begin."

The city's health agency quoted its own Health Commissioner Dr. Dave A. Chokshi: “the science shows that monoclonal antibody treatments work and can make all the difference when it comes to the severity of COVID-19 illness." It thus urged that “treatment should be given as soon as possible after someone tests positive for COVID-19.” Studies from Pfizer, cited by the agency, independently demonstrated just how effective the company's antiviral treatment, called Paxlovid, can be: it “decreased Covid-19-linked hospitalisation or mortality risk from any cause by 88%.”

The left mocked Sarah Palin for warning us about death panels.

Turns out she's way more prophetic than Algore.

The supply is limited due to the Biden administration limiting it. There is no reason for this rationing.

IVM/HCQ/quercetin + zinc, vitamins C and D work wonders. But they don’t make big pharma billions.

Actually they just seem to want to soften the line: “Non-whites tend to be undisciplined slobs who eat fast food three times per day until health problem appear”...

“There is no reason for this rationing”

On The contrary...there is a reason, it’s not a valid reason but is a despicable one.

The reason to choke off monoclonal antibody treatments is to remove alternative treatments and force people toward the shots.

Just imagine the outcry if there was health care for whites only.

Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor,

And how do they rationalize it when the numbers of those who receive it die more often than those who were denied?

"I smell Class Action Lawsuits."

Over the weekend someone who lives in NYC posted on another website they went to one of these clinics in an Asian neighborhood and they were turned away.

I told them to go back with a hidden camera and try again. Get it all on record for the lawsuit.

Liberals are the biggest racists going.

You’d think that blacks would be more hesitant about taking treatment denied to white folks, based on history.

If there is evidence to support that claim then I am fine with it.

I’m sure that the evidence will be provided shortly by politifact.
