New York Mandates Blatant Racism in Treating COVID-19 – Opinion

New York has become more ridiculous than ever under its new governor Kathy Hochul. The Empire State led the country in draconian, pointless measures since the outbreak of the pandemic. These included lockdowns and mandates for masks. Now, mandates for vaccines.

Even so, this blue bastion continues to see the greatest coronavirus epidemic spike in the United States. But while you’d think that would lead to some introspection about their failed policies, New York’s leadership has instead decided to take the all-important step of mandating blatant racism in distributing treatments for COVID.

You guys, it is not good to judge people just by their skin color. There are many things that could go wrong.

We will get to the moral failing of this in a moment, but first, let’s look at it logically. What makes this even possible?

The number of treatments for COVID is limited. In fact, because of Joe Biden’s ineptitude, there is actually a shortage of them. But, New York chose to do the smart thing and give them to everybody, no matter what their race. Is A pre-existing condition.

You might wonder why? Because of supposed “longstanding systemic health and social inequalities.” But even if you believe “systemic racism” is responsible for certain demographics being more statistically at risk from COVID (largely due to obesity and diabetes being more prevalent), that doesn’t actually apply at the individual level. A healthy person of color is just that: a healthy person. The coronavirus is no greater for them than it is for a healthy person of color.

Yet, under New York’s guidelines, scarce treatments are to be given to healthy black people, no questions asked while white people must prove they have some underlying condition. That’s simply racist, and it’s also dangerous.

Now, the point here isn’t that healthy white people with no major risk factors should be given monoclonal antibodies. Rather, it’s the opposite. You don’t have to provide scarce treatment to anyone of healthy race. This will reduce the availability of treatments and increase the chance that there won’t be any for someone with serious health risks.

But New York doesn’t care about actually managing COVID treatments properly. Rather, to the state’s insane leadership, the coronavirus is just another opportunity to mindlessly virtue signal about “social justice.” Imagine a world where some Republican governor prioritized treatments to white people based solely on their skin color? Imagine the reaction. And don’t kid yourself, that’s exactly what New York is doing here.

This isn’t difficult, though the far-left is dead set on making it so. When judging the risk of COVID related to rationing, there should be no consideration for age, obesity, diabetes and auto-immune conditions. I shouldn’t have to say this, but simply being black or Hispanic is not a pre-existing condition. It’s incredibly gross and immoral to set up a system that pretends it is.
