Infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci highlighted the need to address racial disparities in the COVID-19 vaccination process, per an interview with The New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday.
What he’s saying: "I think that's the one thing we really got to be careful of. We don't want in the beginning ... most of the people who are getting it are otherwise, well, middle-class white people."
"You really want to get it to the people who are really the most vulnerable ... you don't want to have a situation where people who really are in need of it, because of where they are, where they live, what their economic status is, that they don’t have access to the vaccine."
- "You absolutely have to respect the hesitancy of the minority population. They keep coming back and saying the history of Tuskegee," Biden's chief medical officer said, referring to a situation in the 1930s in which the federal government denied Black men in Alabama treatment for syphilis and secretly documented how the disease destroyed their bodies over decades.
- "They don't, can't and should not forget about it, because it happened and it was shameful."
- Biden's chief medical adviser noted that health officials must convince people of color "that the safeguards that have been put in place since then ... would make it essentially impossible for a Tuskegee situation to arise again."

Haven't the Dems been saying that racism is at an all time high in the United States? They're sure pushing hard to make blacks take the vaccine first.

This. Actual studies/data show you are 10x more likely to die of COVID if your Vit D is below a certain level (30 ng/ml). Another factor in severity of COVID is Metabolic Syndrome, with Type 2 diabetes epidemic among blacks. T2D can be reversed by what you put in your mouth & no vaccine will cure that issue.

That’s fine with me. I’m more than happy to let them get it first, because I’m not planning on getting it at all.

Notice he NEVER accepts responsibility for anything. It is always, “what WE need to do” or, “what YOU need to watch out for.”
Never says, “I have decided.”.
Evil little monster.
