Why Healthcare workers first? Are they dieing at a high rate? Less than 2,000 dead Healthcare workers out of 240,000? Old and sick should be first, 75 and up.

Does the virus disproportionately target minorities, or is it simply more dangerous for fat and unhealthy people?


Dark people naturally tend to be more vitamin D deficient. While obesity is probably more prevalent, that's another factor I am convinced of.

Prime example is watching commercials this last weekend and you would think blacks were 80% of the population. Families are not allowed to be represented as all white anymore, clearly. Every family I saw in a commercial was either all black or mixed race with white guy and black woman with bi-racial kids if they had them.

If any modeling firms specializing in mixed-race models for commercials were publicly traded, I'd buy some stock.

Lighter skinned mixed race desirability shows you there is prejudice about light skin vs dark skin- amongst black folks.

I find it hard pressed to believe that THE Blacks are going to line up for this vaccine. Not going to happen.
It's going to be real funny when they set aside 10 Million Covid-19 vaccine units for Black folks and only about 100 get used.

The other 9,999,900 might get traded or sold or just left to spoil but there's no chance they get used.

I'm with BigRob no this one - I'm not taking any Covid-19 vaccine. Unless they do something stupid like start requiring it for air travel or staying in a hotel, etc. I might reconsider if that was the case.


Same here.

If this were a virus with a statistically significant kill rate, I would. But at 99.96%, not taking it.

I'm still confused about the commercials. I've heard many Black Friday commercials and I thought that was against thought police rules.

They've been affected by their own behavior choices, in the past and the present.

The virus isn't particularly harsh on any group of humans, all things being equal, but not all things are equal. Some groups behaved as if obesity is not a general health concern increasing risk of complications in the past leading up to now at a much higher prevalence. Those groups also tended to flat out ignore suggestions to limit group exposure and exposure to those at risk early on, and tend to have social practices that make their elderly more vulnerable to exposure.

The virus isn't racist at all. It is simply unbiased and unforgiving when it comes to error. It treats all risky behavior equally. The argument that there is racism involved with this virus is another specious equal outcomes argument that dismisses self selected or random unequal inputs.

I am fairly certain many counties are going to require it for entry. Everyone will need to have the COVID equivalent of the yellow fever vaccine card that's, in practice, required for entry into most of West Africa. There's way too much $ in the vaccine production and distribution (not to mention political horse trading among nations and aid recipient countries) for that requirement to not invade politics across most of the world. It may happen in the US as well. We can't mandate every citizen get the vaccine but we can require it for entry / re-entry into the country.

When you have the culture right, hard times make you stronger. Frankly the biggest problem American White people face is getting too soft, so bring on he best attempt to oppress.

No one was more oppressed than the poor White people serfs who moved here away from Europe in an attempt to establish themselves. Then they took on the struggles of the new world. My relatives were coal miners, tenant farmers and basically "dirt people".

The Asians that moved to America were very similar. And similarly they prioritized family units, education and training, hard ass work and delayed gratification to accumulate wealth and power.


Unlike the masses trying to beurcrat their way to success right now (doomed to failure), having a productive and cohesive culture and encountering a system of struggle does not scare me at all.

There is a reason 12-15% of the world population controls 90% of the resources. It's culture. And Western Christian culture common for American White people has proven its metal time and time again.

At what point are you allowed to be proud of the culture you are from? Only when it produces poor performance? That makes no sense.

Judge the tree by its fruit - I wholly reject the notion of white guilt.

And by the way - I am careful to note that it's about culture, not race. My non-white children are fully thought and bought into the same culture that drove success. Race makes zero difference.

I expected this. Blacks have been elevated as the pinnacle race in this country this year and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. No other race matters now.

Every family I saw in a commercial was either all black or mixed race with white guy and black woman with bi-racial kids if they had them.

It was almost incredible how unrealistic commercials do not represent the real America. I've never seen it so blatantly manipulated.


That is a stretch thinking commercials represent families. Destruction of nuclear families more like

Maybe because they're exposed to it daily and degree of complications is related to the load of exposure.

Unreal. The first to receive the vaccine will be health care workers, immediately followed by "communities that have been disproportionately affected by the virus, including minorities and people of color".

I bet it'll be free, too. Whitey's shot will cost $300 a pop.


You forgot the international giveaway too so it's gonna go like this

Blacks first
Browns second
Internationals next

White males will have a Hunger Games competition to get the vaccine last. May the odds ever be in your favor....



I'm having a raffle for any white guy that wants to participate....

You can have my poison allotment. This black guy ain't taking that **** and if you were smart, you wouldn't take it either. Just saying.

I'm not sure why he'd even try to argue this point. Conservatives are absolutely for equality and liberals are openly racist. It's not like it's some big secret. They openly discuss their hatred white people and the low expectations they have for minorities. They also promote and support openly racist policy positions. Liberals have a lot of hate in their heart and they don't mind letting it out.

This thread is beyond embarrassing. The comments from posters who are bothered by seeing interracial couples in advertisements is.... telling. "I'm just upset that it's not representative of America!" Sure, Jan.

Also, just because YOU may live in an area with very few interracial couples doesn't mean there aren't places in this country where interracial couples are commonplace.
