These woke type policies in themselves are racist against blacks and hispanics. Yes, blacks and hispanics may be a little more likely to have underlying health conditions/be in poverty but a lot of them aren't. To assume they all are at high risk is honestly racist. A lot of these types assume every rough neighborhood is a minority neighborhood too--which isnt true


I agree with everything you said here.

I can see the Trump supporters are as delusional as Trump here. Posting a bunch of fake conspiracy theories is pretty pathetic, but Trump knew he could manipulate his voters into this charade.

I find it hilarious how Trumpsters (and Republicans in general) are just so used to cheating and bullying their way through life, that they simply can't fathom that 75 million Americans voted against

Me waiting for this groundbreaking evidence that has been posted about in this thread for well over a month that's going to win a court case and change everything.

It's HHS so it's on Abbott. 

 

Looking at that guidelines for MN, I guess a healthy (no underlying conditions) under 65 white person will be at the back of the bus for monoclonal. They could have shortened the sentence re race/ethnicity by saying "non-white".

 

I checked my state and the list is much shorter:

 

All high-risk adults and high-risk youth ages 12-17 who weigh at least 88 pounds may be eligible for treatment. High-risk factors can include: 

  • Older age 
  • Obesity or being overweight
  • Pregnancy
  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Diabetes
  • A weakened immune system or taking medicine that weakens your immune system
  • Heart disease including high blood pressure
  • Lung disease such as COPD, asthma, or cystic fibrosis 
  • Sickle cell disease
  • Cerebral palsy or other developmental conditions
  • Regular use of a feeding tube or ventilator

Other non-medical factors such as race or ethnicity may also put individuals at higher risk for severe COVID-19.

 


What makes the rationing even more egregious is that there is no shortage of the treatment. 
 

I’ll bet hardly anyone in my state even knows about it, unless they listen to conservative talk radio, or watch Fox News.

Fox News reported whispering in Washington that the Biden admin wants to replace Kamala, due to her unpopularity and gaffes. Their reasons are understandable, but there’s also a lot of delicious irony here. It would need to be confirmed in the House and Senate.

In 1972, Richard Nixon was reelected as POTUS. His VP was Spiro Agnew. In 1973, Agnew resigned as VP and Gerald Ford was appointed as VP. In 1974, Ford became POTUS when Nixon resigned. Ford became president without receiving a single vote from the American people.

 

Are the democrats trying to put someone as POTUS without being elected, by using the same mechanism in the 70s that put Ford in the WH? Hillary? Obama? Nancy?

It’s the first thing that crossed my mind. :haha:

If they did it would be Pete Buttigieg. His rise as medium size town mayor to high ranking DC official is only rivaled by Obama's.

Shame to go through all that effort and keep Sheriff Joe. 🤨

He’s the definition of a lightweight. 

I like his personality. He comes across as a nice guy, even if it is a bit of an Obama impression, essentially. But yes, it would help to have actually had some semblance of experience with the department which you're heading.

Just last week, he was talking about replacing “racist bridges,” and took a couple months off from his job in the middle of a supply-chain crisis. Hard pass!

I thought about him but he's kinda forgettable. I tried to think of a dem politician who's younger than 70 and charismatic in Washington DC and I can't think of anyone.

 

Maybe one of the governors? How about Nancy's nephew? He just beat a recall and he seems to be aiming for the WH? Gavin Newsom could be a viable 2024 contender, and a couple of years in the WH would boost his profile a lot. Roy Cooper, two-term NC Governor, is another one who could also be viable in 2024 after a couple of years in the WH.

Whoever they pick will need to be a puppet for AOC and that crazy wing of the party, like Biden is.

My home state. Just yesterday, one of my customers told me about her tenant, who is 51 years old, very active and fit, and “fully vaccinated.” He’s been in the hospital for over a week and not doing well at all. I didn’t ask questions. His fiancé is also in the hospital. 
 

Based on these numbers, monoclonal antibodies should be available to everyone, not just the unvaccinated. 
 


 

Apparently, the feds are sending medical staff to Minnesota to help with the outbreak due to staffing shortages. Yes, there are vaccine mandates for medical staff in Minnesota.

You don’t need to be an epidemiologist to figure out where this is headed, especially now that the weather is getting a little colder. I feel fortunate that I’ve already had it.

At least my Democrat Governor seems to have a little common sense. He says implementing mask mandates and shutting down businesses are not effective tools. He’s also running for election, so that might have something to do with it, but I actually believe this is what he thinks about it. Where are all of the fear mongers to tell us he’s a “murderer,” like they do to Republican Governors?

I think Newsom definitely has aspirations for higher office than Governor, so I'll echo that. I always thought he would become Governor someday and it happened. He looks like a politician, which is just a crazy reason to vote for someone but it undoubtedly happens. 😁
