Covid-19 vaccines emerged as a medical breakthrough, but like many other innovations, they have been disproportionately helping white Americans as compared to other racial and ethnic groups.
As of February 2021, a stark Covid-19 vaccine disparity remains. In Delaware, Black people account for 24% of statewide Covid-19 cases, yet only 9% have received the vaccine. Similarly in Colorado, Hispanic people account for 36% of Covid-19 cases, but only 6% have been vaccinated.
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday memorialized the half-million Americans killed by the coronavirus, a staggering toll that eclipses U.S. combat deaths from major wars of the 20th century.
White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci had previously noted that 75 percent to 85 percent of the overall population would need to develop some sort of immunity to create an “umbrella” of protection.

I’m sure many of you already knew this, but as we look to the defenses and fear the worst from this administration and the health care professionals they’ve installed as a de facto French Directory, we can see the Biden White House is finding out just how hard this whole COVID debacle truly is. The Biden administration s recommendations, which have only propped up the COVID lockdown regime, have done more damage than any guillotine ever could. As we count the dead, the American Dream has become infected with COVID and she remains in the ICU. The right to earn a living is now under threat. That’s the covert war being waged here, and if we know anything about wars, it’s that government powers become enormous when wartime conditions are declared.
