WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump falsely declared in a weekend rally that public health authorities are denying the COVID-19 vaccine to white people because of their race.
TRUMP: “The left is now rationing lifesaving therapeutics based on race, discriminating against and denigrating ... white people to determine who lives and who dies. If you’re white you don’t get the vaccine or if you’re white you don’t get therapeutics. ... In New York state, if you’re white, you have to go to the back of the line to get medical health.”
THE FACTS: No, white people are not being excluded from vaccines, of which there is a plentiful supply. And there is no evidence they being sent to the “back of the line” for COVID-19 care as a matter of public health policy.
Trump distorted a New York policy that allows for race to be one consideration when dispensing oral antiviral treatments, which are in limited supply. The policy attempts to steer those treatments to people at the most risk of severe disease from the coronavirus.
It says that nonwhite race or Hispanic ethnicity “should be considered a risk factor” because long-standing health and social inequities make people of color more likely to get severely ill or die from the virus.

What about healthy white people 65 and over 65?
The AP — Ass$_(&es & Pukes — is dead to me.
I was referring to those people among us who are actually capable of critical thought and reason.
Thanks RACPE.
AP is worthless.
"Equity"=punishment. "Inequity" would mean not enough punishment or the wrong kind of punishment.
Isee hwat was done here.
Yes, but it’s different when they say it. /s
Every time Biden stumbles in a speech, it shows up in every conservative site. gets posted a dozen times here, and helps pummel his popularity. It is good strategy and it works for both sides. The only solution is a younger, smarter, more factually aware candidate. Biden is toast and we can do better than Trump.
Give me a name of someone better than Trump.
It wasn’t the $hot that PDJT was talking about.
Oh so we’re back to “fact” checking, eh?
Trump makes it look easy and everyone thinks they can do better. 50 years proves that’s just not the case. Trump, as an example, is fighting the fake election. I’m confident he is the only one who would do this. He’s a true leader. He takes up issues no one else will touch. Everyone is playing tough on the border right now because Trump took all the arrows (I still doubt anyone will try and actually do anything about it). When election security is a proven winner all the phonies will pretend its easy to fight for. These fools in politics are not leaders.
There is nobody better than Trump.
