They matter as much as every one else.


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


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

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

Next.

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.

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.

Next.

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

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


Twice as many elderly as what? The whole rest of the city?

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

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.

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