Some conservatives are taking aim at policies that allow doctors to consider race as a risk factor when allocating scarce COVID-19 treatments, saying the protocols discriminate against white people.

Ha ha good try. 45s will try anything

So the protocols must be racist to begin with.

There should be no discrimination against anyone! We are all one race! THE HUMAN RACE. EVERYONE matters!!!!

Seems like it is more targeting towards parts of our community that are resisting the treatments because they don’t trust the government (rightfully) which could be considered racist, no?

Minorities aren’t “missing out” - they’re using critical thinking skills and making their own decisions.

This is inflammatory nonsense, not news reporting... sad

Never underestimate the number of racists in America

Komo is trash

It does. Any treatment for any disease that is allocated purely based on race is racist.

It's not that it discriminates against white people, it's that it discriminates based on skin color. We just celebrated MLK day. It's stunning that one party has completely forgotten his message.

The media's obsession with right wing lies and disinformation is destroying our country. Because there is, once again, no evidence to support yet another GOP lie, how about you just IGNORE IT instead of writing a story about something you know isn't true? The US media is awful.

… doctors already spend more time with their white patients than Black patients. this has been documented *for decades*. are they arguing that Black people shouldn’t get any time with a doctor you literally cannot win with these people.
