Gina Cammarata gets the first round of a Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at the Denver Indian Center, part of the second wave of prioritized shots in the city. Jan. 8, 2020.
All along the Front Range during the pandemic, demographics drew lines between sickness and health.  
Longtime Denver physician Dr. Terri Richardson, with the Colorado Black Health Collaborative, said troubling trends emerged in the earliest days of the pandemic.
“Everything, you know, it goes along the social, economic and people of color lines,” said Richardson, a recently retired internist with Kaiser Permanente. “The stories are when it was the COVID infections and testing, when it was a vaccine, the maps all look the same. You could have just superimposed all the maps and they looked the same.”  ....

End tobacco's assault on the Black community | Denver-gazette


The Biden administration announced this month that the Food and Drug Administration will begin the rule-making process to ban menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars. This bold effort has the potential to protect youth from tobacco addiction, save lives, and decrease serious health impacts, especially among Black tobacco users. It is no accident that 85% of Black smokers choose menthol cigarettes. For more than 60 years, the tobacco industry has been deliberately targeting the Black community with menthol cigarettes — which are even more addictive and harder to quit than regular cigarettes — profiting enormously while endangering Black lives and health.
In the 1950s, fewer than 10% of Black Americans who smoked used menthol cigarettes — today, that number is 85%.

Denver elected leaders and health experts seek to address COVID-19 vaccine disparities after recent data


and last updated 2021-01-19 00:39:46-05
DENVER — On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the trailblazing icon for Civil Rights is remembered while communities across the country acknowledge progress and continued calls for equality in America.
In Colorado, public records requests done by
The Gazette and
Colorado Politics highlight disparities by Coloradans of color in the ongoing COVID-19 vaccine distribution.
We re just seeing for the first time some really concerning numbers, where one in 16 white Coloradans have been able to access the vaccine thus far in the categories that have been opened up. Whereas only one in 50 Latino Coloradans and one in 35 Black Coloradans have been able to receive the vaccine, Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver, said. Knowing that we re still in those beginning first phases of vaccine distribution is cause for concern. ....

In early December, with coronavirus deaths and hospitalizations at the highest levels of pandemic, Colorado’s top public health leader took questions from the state legislature’s Joint Budget Committee.
The topic was health disparities, which have been underscored by the crisis.
The tension was clear between Jill Hunsaker Ryan, executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and committee member Rep. Leslie Herod, who chairs the Black Democratic Legislative Caucus.
After a presentation from Ryan, Herod, from Denver, one of the six members on the bipartisan panel, noted that last summer Ryan’s agency and the governor had declared racism a public health emergency. ....
