[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty clear that the pro Blair group here is that "omg equity I hate it" crowd[/quote]
I don't hate "equity", but there is a point where focusing on it too much hinders the community rather than help it. Covid vaccine rollout in MoCo is one such example.[/quote]

Sure, because too much justice is definitely a big problem.  Absolutely.  What the world needs now is more stuff for rich, white people.  [/quote]

High vaccination rates benefit everyone, not just the wealthy.  A slow rollout is bad for everyone, including the poor.[/quote]

MoCo is not slow because of equity efforts, stop repeating these racist lies. MoCo is "slow" because it has an older population, so it takes longer to get through the 65+ group, especially if the governor doesn't provide doses based on the number of elderly people.[/quote]
it also discriminates against poorer white people who live in certain zip codes.  And yes the equity framework does mean it takes longer to vaccinate people because that target group is more hesitant to get a vaccine and/or it's harder for them to get to a vax site. Sure, that's a problem, and it needs to be addressed. But MoCo is only focused on that, and everyone else comes second.

That slows down getting the entire county vaccinated quickly.[/quote]
