A recently published Daily Caller article, titled “How Activists Are Hardwiring ‘Race Marxism’ Into The Medical Field” lists several cases of government/corporate anti-white discrimination. Most of the suspect programs never came to fruition, but I believe they’re still relevant. I’ll explain why at the end. I’ll list them here for your convenience (sources are embedded):
- When deciding which groups would receive the first vaccines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended prioritizing essential workers over the elderly — despite the elderly facing higher risk of death from COVID-19 — in order to be more racially equitable (the elderly tend to be more white while essential workers tend to be less white, demographically), according to the Los Angeles Times. The CDC walked back the suggestions after public outcry, according to Dr. Sally Satel, but Vermont explicitly granted vaccine priority on the basis of race to non-white households before the general public became eligible. The vaccination rate for white residents (33%) had been outpacing that of non-white residents (20%); Republican Governor Phil Scott said this gap was unacceptable at the time.
- Dr. Harald Schmidt of the University of Pennsylvania medical school advocated for updating guidance for rationing ventilators to account for race and other socioeconomic factors in April 2020. He suggested that hospitals use a zip code-based “Area Deprivation Index” to avoid the “legal complications” of explicitly race-based allocation of medical resources. Dr. Schmidt and the University of Pennsylvania medical school did not respond to DCNF’s requests for comment.
- Brigham and Women’s hospital in Boston considered a pilot program which would prioritize patients for cardiovascular care explicitly on the basis of race. Described by doctors Michelle Morse and Bram Wispelwey in a March article in Boston Review, the program would have given preferential admissions to black and Latino people for cardiological services to reduce heart health gaps between white and non-white patients. Morse and Wispelwey argued that health gaps between different racial groups are driven by racism, and they viewed their plan as a form of racial reparations. The proposal drew from the 2010 proposal titled, “Critical Race Theory, Race Equity, and Public Health: Toward Antiracism Praxis.”… Murphy told DCNF the Boston Review article was “an opinion piece and reflects the perspective of these two physicians,” but the article’s authors, who work at Brigham, called the pilot program “our pilot program,” a fact Brigham has not disputed. Murphy confirmed that both Morse and Wispelwey helped create the final pilot program going into effect this year.
- Doctors use CPT codes, which are owned by the American Medical Association (AMA), to bill insurance and government programs such as Medicare. Since the AMA derives income through doctors’ use of CPT codes, there is an incentive to create more codes, Mendoza explained… The AMA, which develops CPT codes, released a 2021-2023 “strategic plan to embed racial justice and advance health equity” which aims to “understand and operationalize anti-racism equity strategies … develop structures and processes to consistently center the experiences and ideas of historically marginalized … and minoritized (Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian and other people of color) physicians” and “amplify and integrate often ‘invisible-ized’ narratives of historically marginalized physicians and patients in all that AMA does.
Why is it important to note anti-white policies even when they were never actually implemented? For two reasons:
- They demonstrate intent. Invariably, when a bureaucracy fails to implement a strategy because of public outcry, the realization that it would get them in legal trouble, or it would not yield the intended results, said bureaucracy does not suddenly change its ideals. It doesn’t discard its core philosophies. No, what it does is rethink HOW to achieve those same goals without triggering a public outcry. It finds ways to discriminate against whites in more sneaky ways, by using zip-codes for example. It hatches more diabolical plans, to make sure that it achieves its end goals the next time around. Once we understand this, then we can better recognize anti-white discrimination when it occurs later on.
- The second reason is that once we’ve established that powerful people have nefarious intentions, we can be reasonably certain that they’ll work toward those goals in secret. If we know about three or four failed programs to discriminate against whites, then there can be little doubt that there are several more we don’t know about. We should look for them, and we should suspect that other programs, which ostensibly have other goals, are actually backdoor schemes to achieve the same nefarious goals that the aborted programs were supposed to achieve.
