This story was from the middle of January, but it’s important so I’m printing it now.
One of the largest hospital systems in the United States gave race more weight than diabetes, obesity, asthma, and hypertension combined in its allocation scheme for COVID treatments, only to reverse the policy after threats of legal action.
Yesterday I wrote up a detailed analysis of Students for Western Civilization, specifically George Hutcheson, pictured above, and his complaint against an anti-White policy of the CBC. Specifically they refuse to capitalize the W in White People. Yes, they really are that petty.
SWC lost their legal battle, and my conclusion was that this showed why it is so important to have a political party. With a political party, you can use the outrage from them transparently fucking you over in courts as impetus for people to vote for you. There is no guarantee that the courts will actually uphold the law, especially “Human Rights Tribunals,” which are almost parody-like in their clownishness.
Having said that, you absolutely can win in courts, and need to try to do so if you have a slam dunk case, if only to prove that the courts are rigged. Here we see that SSM Health immediately cucked on this anti-White healthcare scheme the moment they knew they would have to defend themselves in court.
SSM Health, a Catholic health system that operates 23 hospitals across Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, began using the scoring system last year to allocate scarce doses of Regeneron, the antibody cocktail that President Donald Trump credited for his recovery from COVID-19. A patient must score at least 20 points to qualify for the drug. The rubric gives three points to patients with diabetes, one for obesity, one for asthma, and one for hypertension, for a total of six points. Identifying as “Non-White or Hispanic” race, on the other hand, nets a patient seven points, regardless of age or underlying conditions.
…
The “ethical justification” for this policy, SSM said in the internal memo, is that “COVID-19 has had a disproportionate impact on low income communities and certain racial/ethnic minorities in the United States.” But in the states where SSM operates hospitals, the story is more complicated. According to the Wisconsin health department, whites make up 81 percent of the state’s population but account for 84 percent of its COVID deaths. Hispanics and Asians, on the other hand, account for a disproportionately low share of the state’s deaths.
And while blacks, Hispanics, and Asians are more likely than whites to be hospitalized for COVID, they are less likely to die of it, according to a recent analysis of 4.3 million patients.
Free Beacon’s article is well worth reading. I’ve only included some short snippets, but they go on to absolutely destroy the claim that there was any scientific rationale or justification for this anti-White policy. It was 100% designed to harm White People.
“A patient’s race is not a disease, symptom, or co-morbidity,” said Dan Lennington, a lawyer with the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. “It’s amazing that we even need to say it, but doctors should treat the individual patient, not the skin color.”
Kudos to whomever made the legal challenges. If I’ve read the article correctly it was the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, although it’s possible that they just had the quote, and didn’t do the legal threats.
