[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just give it to all the POC first, and eliminate any possibility of bickering. Because that’s the only option where someone isn’t bleating “that’s racist!” .

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

Unfortunately that's where we are for the next 100 years. Reparations are going to be in the form of legal discrimination against white people in all aspects of society. Vaccine distribution being just one anecdote of the new normal.[/quote]

DCs low rates in Ward 3 no doubt have to do with the high rate of work from home (distancing) and mask wearing. yes, part of this is being able to work from home due to jobs that allow this and $ resources. With that being said, since the city government can count on this virus preventing behavior why would they rush resources to this group? they'll be doing this NEXT spring if needed.[/quote]

Indeed, why would they rush resources to this affluent group, who has already received more than 25 percent of the senior vaccines? They have already received the lion's share of the scarce vaccine, despite the fact that they have fewer cases, better insurance, and more resources. Now they can wait until things equalize across the city a bit.

I can't believe that people can gladly hoover up resources and then cry discrimination when we try to make it more equitable, but here we are.[/quote]
