    Just the fact that you call it "Trump's virus' disqualifies you from being taken seriously.

    Blacks and hispanics are impacted more because of their behavior.

    This is the same moronic 'racism' argument that contends that criminals laws are racist because blacks and hispanics break those law at a staggeringly higher rate than whites.

    And when did they NOT get equal protection to receive a vaccine? You don’t truly understand what some words mean, especially equity. It’s code now and it’s vindictive.

    Wonder why incomes of minorities rose to highest levels and wonder why Trump had record number of minority votes if the leftist narrative you parrot was true?.

    That's what I posted earlier. The priority is to prevent minority communities from being last in line. That's very different from giving them the vaccine first. Of course, that doesn't prevent Trump fans from crying about white males being oppressed -- even though they never wanted to take the vaccine against the Dem hoax in the first place.

    that is due to many state governments raising their minimum wage which of course had nothing to do with Trump ...

    Yes they flip flop on this all the time. It makes it hard to "Have a conversation about race" because anytime the conversation favors whites( lower crime rates, higher average IQs, better GPA even at a lower income level) then suddenly race doesn't exist, we are all the same inside, it's just a social construct. However anytime the conversation favors blacks, suddenly race exists, and everything that happens is because of race and everything that happens needs to be race conscious. It's gotten to a point where I wont even debate a leftist if they go with the no race angle. There is no point in debating people who wants to believe a lie over things that can be proved scientifically. They are about as bad as people who use religion to justify their scientific beliefs.

    Please. Cite which laws prevent minorities from receiving this vaccine or ANY vaccine. A Hispanic family lives next to me and a black family lives across from me. Why wouldn’t they have the same access as I do? I also work with plenty of minorities. Nothing prevents them from getting the exact same medical treatment as my family does. Same insurance. Don’t even need insurance for the vaccine. So why would it be equitable?

    My sister a doctor and her minority colleagues have received their first shots as well. Should her black colleagues get it first? Systemic racism must be at play.

    The “code” is implying there is some sort of racism at work here killing off black people. So creating some “equitable” outcome will solve the “racism.”

    The vaccine, when given tot he masses will be given in many locations, not just hospitals. They are talking about making sure that vaccines are proportioned equally between locations on affluent areas, as well as poor areas.This is about economic equality in distribution, and we know that in most places, economic and racially equality are pretty much the same thing

    We already see that in play. We have seen hospitals giving the vaccine to their administrators BEFORE their front line workers.

    Giving it to anyone except the highest at risk first is for scumbags.

    I have no doubt politicians and administrators will put their best interest in front of others.

    Your position is an intellectual deception.

    Science describe reality, it doesn't tell us what to do with that reality.
    If you want to use science to justificate racial discrimination, go on, but that has nothing to do with science.

    Some other people use science to show, that some populations have lower IQ, other show that some population that are only 13 % of american population also commit half the murders.

    And they might suggest that so it justificate their racism, but Science describe reality, not the relation we should have to that said reality.

    And the racism shines through each and every thought.

    I'd try to explain it to you but obviously you can't see past that racist veil.

    You wrote a lot of words and said nothing.

    The science says vaccinate the most at risk first.
    People exposed each and every day, like doctors. nurses...
    People whose demographics suggest higher susceptibility, older people
    People whose demographics suggest greater morbidity, older people

    Race has nothing to do with this except in the minds of racists.
    Who're whining because the science says that they're near the bottom of the vaccine list.

    This is, of course, hilarious because the people doing the whining
    are the same people who, since April, have been screaming against wearing masks
    and other protective measures because the virus is just a liberal hoax.

    So, if it was a hoax on 10/22
    Why is it not a hoax on 12/22?

    Nice try, but I never complained about masks and took the pandemic seriously.

    They could have tried to target some specific districts, or cities, but no they have decided to prioritize the access of the vaccine on racial standarts, they have made their choice.

    Lol...No worries. When they develop a vaccine for affluenza, whites will be treated first.

    I dont know the true meaning behind the strategy...whether its "white hate" which it could be. How ever I do know that blacks, American indians and Hispanics seem to have a harder time with the virus.
