If you're white, you go right to the back of the line."The former president referenced a recent Wall Street Journal opinion article titled "New York's Race-Based Preferential Covid Treatments."The article says that COVID-19 treatments such as monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals are in short supply and that New York state has published guidelines outlining how to allocate them to those most in need.The guidelines state that "non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor" because of "longstanding systemic health and social inequities" that increase the risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.The health departments of Utah and Minnesota have published similar guidelines.Hispanic or Latino people die of COVID-19 at a rate of 2.1x compared to white people, and Black or African American people die at a rate of 1.9x, according to data from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."If you're white, you don't get the vaccine, or if you're white, you don't get therapeutics.
