[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]

Yeah if Blair doesn't believe in equity for vaccine distribution I am definitely NOT voting for him. The health department has been administering the doses it receives from the state every week, it isn't slowing down the process for the sake of equity, but it is making an effort to ensure the hardest hit communities (which tend not to have good internet access or ability to work from home and snag appointments all day) can actually get their shots. If David Blair has a problem with that I have a BIG problem with him.[/quote]
No, MoCo has been much slower to rollout the vaccine phases. They were forced to be on the same phasing as the state, not that this means that people who are not in a certain "equity" group will get the vaccine even if they are eligible.

The way the equity framework is implemented if you are white in a zip code with a high case rate, you won't get priority. That is discriminatory.  If I lived in such a zip code, I'd be scared for my life.[/quote]

Wealthy elderly in non-priority zip codes can just Stay Home until it’s there turn. Not my problem that they feel entitled to go out to restaurants.[/quote]

Or to see their grandchildren? We are all in this together. [/quote]
