Covid & Ethnicity

[TeeJay]

Despite the assertions by some politicians that the virus “does not discriminate,” it is now settled scientific wisdom that the burden of disease in the COVID-19 pandemic in North America disproportionately falls on racialized communities.

In Toronto, Black residents are 9 per cent of the population, yet represent 14 per cent of COVID-19 cases and 16 per cent of hospitalizations. The case rates for South Asian/Indo-Caribbean communities and Latin American communities are two to three times higher than the average rate across the city, respectively.

From Ontario Premier Doug Ford blaming “international students” and lax border controls for a third wave of COVID-19 that emerged, in large part, from industrial and manufacturing settings, to Alberta Premier Jason Kenney using assumptions of South Asians recklessly holding big family gatherings in Calgary to explain case bumps in the city, politicians across the country find it easier to blame the racialized “other” than to reckon with their own policy decisions.

So is you thesis that covid is actually more dangerous to minorities or are you going to acknowledge that the conditions that allow covid to spread are more common in poorer, densely populated communities that in North America tend to be a higher percentage of visible minorities.

Hold on there! You are asking him to first- comprehend what he's reading and then clearly think and absorb the message the article is conveying. You are being too hard on TJ.

Rich white males most likely to be able to work from home and most likely to be the ones screaming loudest for getting the vaxx first

Its ironic those who are in the least danger are those who are most worried

I'd like to inform you that right now there is plenty of vaccine to go around. Do the right thing and get vaxxed so our health care doesn't have to save your lame ass on our dime.

Even Health Canada shows (at best) 50% less likely to die after vaccination
And I already feel the government agenda has biased their reporting

You need help! If Covid doesn't get you, your logic and beliefs will lead you down a rabbit hole you will not be able to get out of. This is free advice, take it, you need it.

Are you pretending that poor and visible minority people aren't worried about getting sick?

What an interesting flipped logic; you don't want to get help because it only cuts the chance of death in half.

p.s. The doc you linked had only 1.2% of deaths fully vaccinated. No clue where you got this 50% number from.

It's in Table 3.



So if a vaccinated person develops COVID-19. they have about 50% of the chance to end up in the hospital than an unvaccinated person.

Hopefully people will stop smoking, eating nutrient poor foods, etc, etc.

Do you smoke or eat crappy food?

Because that would be a lot less burden on our healthcare system as well. =)

I do not smoke and eat only whole foods, can you say the same? Probably not! My bet is you're an overweight antivaxxer who believes is in good shape but in reality, is a walking time bomb.
