The Coronavirus pandemic has given licence to ideas long consigned to the dustbin of history. Now racial eugenics to promote 'equality' is on the agenda.
If you needed more proof that the racists and the complete lunatics are advising the world I have some further evidence to share.
It also suggests that these individuals are using the Coronavirus as a trojan horse to peddle their crackpot theories. I have been warning that this entire pandemic would be hijacked for purely political means and the accuracy of that statement is becoming increasingly clear.
However this latest outrage comes from an academic at the University of Pennsylvania who maintains that old people shouldn't receive priority Covid-19 vaccinations because they are too white.
Yes, you read that correctly! Even though he later tried to crab-walk away from his statements you can read the article for yourself.
1/2 Good to know ppl are reading excellent https://t.co/Sw2yKdsaR5 Note: 1) never espoused race-only prioritization; 2) Key: many 65+ can live socially distanced safely, w relatively less inconvenience until vax. But far more among essential workers can’t, esp frontline workers.
The expert in ethics and health policy, Dr Harald Schmidt states (about the elderly):
Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.
We all understand that, just like the flu, those most at risk from COVID-19 are the elderly and seriously ill. They account for well over 90% of all deaths. The rest of us have a tiny chance of succumbing to this virus.
Which makes the 'ethicist' saying those most at risk should be prioritised unusual to say the least. However doing so on the basis of skin colour is racist and smacks of the eugenics movement.
2/2 Vaccinating all healthy people 65+ before essential workers is likely to make racial and economic disparities worse. So must focus on vulnerability across, and within population groups—disadvantage index helps.
Not content with consigning the elderly to the graveyard, Dr Schmidt doubles down saying that priority should be given to those ranking high on the social vulnerability index should receive the jab first.
"Vaccine campaign managers have typically paid more attention to the number of lives they can save than the demographic details of those lives. But[Covids] outsized effect on people of color is injecting an element of social justice...'' https://t.co/dDxFqmeUkg#StructuralRacism
This would 'reduce inequities', presumably by allowing more white people to die.
This elitist and racist viewpoint is not the preserve of one university crank either.
Marc Lipsitch is an infections diseases epidemiologist who argues teachers should not be included as essential workers. Now I happen to agree with him but not for the same reasons.
Lipsitch states.
Teachers have middle-class salaries, are very often white, and they have college degrees. Of course they should be treated better, but they are not among the most mistreated of workers”
Like Dr Schmidt, for Lipsitch it's the whiteness of teachers that seems to be the key problem.
There are more examples but these two give you a taste of what the agenda is. Reduce inequality, not based on need but on the colour of your skin.
This plays in to the Great Reset agenda which is all about redesigning society to the specifications of the elite insiders.
It's alarming that such attitudes are made via public statements and yet few seem to see them for what they are - racial eugenics.
