Who Gets a Vaccine First? U.S. Considers Race in Coronavirus Plans:
Federal health officials are already trying to decide who will get the first doses of any effective coronavirus vaccines, which could be on the market this winter but could require many additional months to become widely available to Americans.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and an advisory committee of outside health experts in April began working on a ranking system for what may be an extended rollout in the United States. According to a preliminary plan, any approved vaccines would be offered to vital medical and national security officials first, and then to other essential workers and those considered at high risk — the elderly instead of children, people with underlying conditions instead of the relatively healthy.
Agency officials and the advisers are also considering what has become a contentious option: putting Black and Latino people, who have disproportionately fallen victim to Covid-19, ahead of others in the population.

you ever wonder why they call it lay the melting pot
they added pistols crack and haze just to see what they got
it's called genocide
with a very specific purpose
it's killing black and Latinos and all of us should be nervous
you need proof
look what they did to the neighbors
covid booze and treachery the devil's created
plays cheats wanna slap'em in a reservation
I'm talking project ten an it's from the plantation
and in the penitentiary they're doing castrations
puttin poison in the food so you can't taste em
but the trickery ain't fool'in me I'm schoolin the youth
and we don't need no education what we need is the truth

While you're blathering about some white conspiracy to get rid of blacks and latinos, I would like you to pause for a few seconds.
Pretty much all of that poison hand cleaner and shit seems to be coming out of Mexico. But, I suppose it's a secret enclave of white people who are manufacturing, distributing, and selling it, right?
BTW - if you don't drink your hand cleaner, I think your chances of survival go up some.
