In 2015, Dayna Bowen Matthew, the dean of George Washington University Law School, published a paper concerning racial disparities in health care. She traced those disparities back to the Founding Fathers and argued their persistence today reflects the structural violence of American society.
Matthew was 1 of 11 people who helped draft the Centers for Disease Control s ethical framework for allocating COVID-19 vaccines. She is also listed as a health equity consultant to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which voted in November to vaccinate essential workers before the elderly, partly on the grounds that the elderly skew white only to pull back Sunday in the face of outrage from across the political spectrum.
After nearly a year of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, it has been well established that the people most at risk of dying from the novel virus are the elderly. Thus, it came as quite a surprise when the initial (and now scuttled) plan for administering the newly developed COVID-19 vaccine did not have elderly Americans at the front of the line. Instead, it was healthcare workers. While they arguably have a higher chance of contracting the virus due to the nature of their jobs, they also largely make up a lower-risk population.
When the CDCâs Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices was questioned on the rationale behind the vaccination prioritization, it was exposed that racism â actual racism arising from the Leftâs Critical Race Theory logic â played a significant role in the decision.

As Bill Barr is walking out the door of the Department of Justice to open presents on Christmas day, Kimberley A. Strassel of the Wall Street Journal tells us that he is an honest and upstanding Attorney General who believes there was no CIA role in the effort to bring down President Trump. Barr, a former CIA analyst, had come to the conclusion that he didn’t “see any sign of improper CIA activity” and that “The CIA stayed in its lane.”
Bill Barr still covers for the CIA
