Equity in vaccine distribution

they've all but stated this outright. there was a Post article with this exact point.

Well, OP wanted to start a thread about equity, but instead she got the complaints of entitled DC residents who are angry at any attempt to get vaccine to poor minorities.

I’m white, and will happily go to the end of the line just to get people to STFU.

No clear as to why a 65 healthy person gets to be in front on an 80 year due to what Ward they live in.

Other then to vote for Bowser.

Ward 3 can sign up on Friday. Stop lying.

Ward 3 has fewer sign up days than other wards. Where is the lie?

Ward 3 sucked up all the vaccine already. They can wait until things even out a bit.

ward 3 has TWICE as many elderly. this is very basic statistics, nothing fancy

But that’s because POC and poor people don’t live as long, at least partly due to systemic racism.

So you would like them to be vaccinated at the same rate as white people?

Still waiting to see the data that shows half of all DC senior citizens live in Ward 3.

No preferential treatment. Just the same. You know - equal.

It's easy to see the metric - are they being vaccinated in equal numbers? Why, no, they are not.

That would be great. DC should engage in outreach to poorer people, and drive them to vaccination sites if needed. There are a number of things the government can do to help people get vaccines.

The answer is not a barely concealed racial rationing of health care.

POC don't want the vaccine in higher numbers than whites. Personal responsibility much?

Next.

The vaccine is optional, not compulsory (yet). But have fun with that!
