I did check that the cdc did say this. This is happening in Democrat run states.

I dont know if this belongs in this or the flame forum. Not trying to be political.

This just seems insane, I dont think they should be able to tell me I dont get the vaccine because of my race.

Or just claim to be 1/1,000,000,000,000 Cherokee like Elizabeth Warren

So, they want to test the vaccine out on minorities first?

It is true that minorities for some reason are 3 times more impacted by the virus than anyone else. This has been widely known for months now

Population control just in case something goes wrong lol

Isn't this more job related though, and just a correlation to skin color?

Conspiracy theories aside, you vaccinate the most at risk populations first. Pure, simple unbiased science.

Are you also upset that old people and first responders will get the vaccine before you do?

Job related? I dunno. Does it matter? There still dying far more than anyone else

I can make a case that it could be better to vaccinate people who are actually out in the population before the elderly living in facilities.

The elderly in homes, if the staff are vaccinated, aren't at much risk, so those doses of vaccine could prevent more cases if given to younger people mingling throughout the general population.

correlation is not causation, most minorities live in core urban/ cities. Cities are well know as the hotspots of the virus. The suburbs and rural areas are majority white, and they have far fewer cases.

I dont think the virus is racist, I think it spreads like a wild fire in cities. The white population is spread out in suburban, urban, and rural areas. And a majority of minorities live in dense urban areas. It makes complete sense

could be. But considering the urgency i think its acceptable to use correlation rather than more accurate causation to determine order.

I'm only saying that people at high risk, regardless of skin color, should get it first.

I'm not being racist, I promise.

No I have no opposition to that, the under 65 survival rate is 99.9%. I should be the last to get the vaccine. But I dont think it should be used as a political tool to make minorities vote democrat.

Minorities seem to get it more, but they also mostly live in cities where more people get it.

The white population is distributed across the country in urban,suburban, and rural places. So our net percentage will be lower.

No one is saying the virus is racist. Lol but the conspiracy cracks are making a big deal out of it. The most vulnerable should get it 1st.

Sure, you could make that argument. But it would be a rare showing of faulty logic on your end

The risk of death/complications is exponentially higher with elderly. Even if the chance is low they should be vaccinated first.

Mehhhh, what does it matter, we don't get a say anyway. :32 (20):

 

[Seeker]

I'm not a non Vaccine person, but im not in any rush to get it. I have no interest in wanting it either. I have no problem being last. Lol
