Unacceptable, but very intentional.
We can not play surprised when:
Phase 1a is 70% White
Phase 1b (65+yo) are 77% White
70% of pharmacies are in white neighborhoods
Black/Brown communities are 2x less likely to have hospital
Registrations require WiFi

#BlackAndBrown Americans basically have to had entered into 2020 with #OneOrganAlreadyFailing before they can qualify for the #COVIDvaccine at this point, aka #PreExistingConditions.

I’m tired of America trying to act shock that Black people die at higher rates and younger ages when your policies INTENTIONALLY set it up that way.
I refuse to play dumb in 2021.

26M doses of vaccines have gone to 60% White Americans now we want to say... “Oh, is this a problem & how can we build in equity”.
#Equity is always an afterthought & NEVER achieved bc those w/ a seat DO NOT MATCH the demographic of those dying. You can’t fix what you don’t know

#BlackAndBrown children were unable to attend #HybridSchool in AUGUST due to no #WiFi... so what do the geniuses do in JANUARY for #COVIDvaccine registration...

If there was a deliberate effort to vaccinate EVERYONE we would have had a paper registration sent out to every single home by now. Yea, using the same @USPS system we use to send people bills every single month.
But when it comes to send a life saving intervention... nothing.
