So no, black people aren't dying more because we are enduring a racist administration, and employing an equity specialist is not a panacea. Regurgitating distilled Team Retard talking points makes you look stupid.
But studying these impacts on public health is bad...why? No one is going to force you to eat better, dress better or give a shit about your general appearance as a result.
LOL at this tiltmonkey with the stupid insults. Are you really so angry about politics that you can't have a discussion like a normal human being?
Regarding the rest of your drivel, you can't just cite nebulous "black people are less healthy because of systemic racism" and take the giant leap to COVID-19 mostly being the fault of systemic racism. This requires actual study with actual evidence. Otherwise you can find anything where black people have a perceived disadvantage, and blame "racism" for any disparate outcomes.
This is why you put someone in charge who actually has an interest in proper scientific study of the matter, not a lifelong SJW with a narrow and rigid view regarding racism and healthcare.
You know Occam's Razor, right? The simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
Black people are obese at far higher rates than white people.
Obese people are dying of COVID at far higher rates than non-obese people.
Therefore, the most likely reason black people are dying at a higher rate is due to this obesity, NOT systemic racism.
A responsible appointee would also study whether there's additional factors involved in the higher death rates for black people, such as some kind of genetic predisposition to worse COVID results.
But no. We don't get any of that. Fuck the science. Ignore the obvious. Just say it's "systemic racism" and call it a day, right? You realize that's what she's doing, right? There's zero attempt to seriously study the matter or ascertain the true cause.
These are the unbiased, scientific geniuses being given leadership positions in your precious Party of Science.
You can remain in denial, or you can admit that this shit is ridiculous, and should be excised from your party before the next election.
