The woke are trying to politicize the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine.

There is no other way to say this: if they succeed people *WILL* die.

A thread🧵
2/
According to both "The Lancet", a well respected scientific journal, and the Center for Evidence Based Medicine, the group most likely to die from COVID-19 is the elderly.

It isn't even close.

By every metric Seniors are the people who are most likely to die from COVID.
3/
This is not new information. The fact that COVID targets the elderly has been known since March.Anthony Fauci even said so in the New England Journal of Medicine.

So the medical community knows this. They know the people most likely to die from COVID are Seniors.
4/
The wise, compassionate, ethical thing to do is make sure those most vulnerable to COVID-19 are orotected and kept safe.

Senior citizens must be vaccinated first.
5/
In this article in the New York Times. Health experts say they don't want to give elderly people the vaccine first because *too many old people are white.*
They want to "level the playing field" by not giving seniors the vaccine first...because too many seniors are white:
6/
In that article Mark Lipsch of the TH Chan School of Public Health at Harvard says teachers shouldn't get vaccinated like other essential workers because too many of them are white.

The TH Chan School of public health also said 2+2=5, if you're wondering how reliable they are
6/
There is no other way to say this: these people are going to politicize science and let senior citzens die in the name of being woke.

This is disgusting. It is also no surprise as the woke have been trying to politicize science for years:
7/
During the BLM protests @s_j_prins claimed public health needed to choose a political side and @epiellie agreed with him. @JuliaLMarcus chimed in and said she makes public health recomendations based on what gives her side political power instead of what the science says.
8/
Public Health is making decisions about vaccination based on woke ideology, instead of protecting the most vulnerable

They're going to let senior citizens did in the name of "Social Justice."

If you wanted an example of just how twisted woke ideology is here you go
9/
This is what "health equity" looks like in practice:

Handing out medical care based on woke ideology and letting people die in the name of making up for past injustice.

This is wrong.
10/
The public meeting about this is in two days. You need to absolutel FLOOD them woth comments about this. They need an avalanche of disapproval:

11/
You need to raise hell about this now. In addition to public comments at the meeting , you must write letters, phone state and local leadership, make social media posts with leaders tagged in them.

Let them know that you will remember this and vote accordingly.

/fin
PS/

H/T to @JCompson_III for his work on this. I made use of the thread he did here:
PPS/

An additional note:

It appears as though lobbyists are also trying to influence who gets access to the vaccine first.

This is just as bad as woke people doing it and is equally unacceptable:

Check out this linguistic sleight of hand:
Kendi interchanges "equal" and "equitable" in his tweet. By associating "equity" with "equality" (similar words, different meanings) and using "equality" to try and justify "equity" he creates the illusion people are against *equality*
This is of course dishonest. Equity and equality are two different things.

Equality means treating people the same regardless of their race or gender.

Equity means treating people differently to make up for past injustices.
Equality says treat people fairly according to the merits regardless of race or gender

Equity says tilt the playing field toward (for example) women because of injustice that occured previously.

Kendi goes back and fourth between these terms to blur this distinction.

This is postcolonial theory for southern white people. This is literally the exact logic that Franz Fanon uses in black skin white masks to explain the plight of African Americans after the end of slavery...
Replace the word *conquer* with the word *enslave* and this is something Franz Fanon could have written:
"On the cultural front, how much of that caving is due to being an *enslaved* people conditioned into accepting imposed guilt and living with the memory of the *enslaving*?"
The *reasoning* here is bad. The *reasoning* is the problem.

Arguing that society conditioned southerners to fold by invoking the memory of losing the civil war is pretty much arguing that the south suffers from "internalized oppression."

@RadioFreeTom @rkylesmith @ConceptualJames 1/
If you think my views are about social envy I suggest you read "The Critical Turn in Education" by Isaac Gottesman. He lays out, Approvingly, the way in which education theory has come to be dominated by a blend postmodernsim and critical theory. I think this is bad.
@RadioFreeTom @rkylesmith @ConceptualJames 2/
I also spent 8 years getting 2 degrees, so while social envy is a candidate for explaining my motives, I see my concern as grounded in things as the most cited scholar in education being Paulo Friere, who is cited more then Richard Dawkins and Charles Darwin combined:
@RadioFreeTom @rkylesmith @ConceptualJames 3/
If you want to see some of what Henry Giroux (120K Citations) has to say here he is arguing in "Border Crossings: Cultural Workers and the Politics of Education" that reason and objectivity are mere forms of social power. Again, I think this is very bad.

Imagine letting old people die because they're the wrong skin color and you want to rectify a historical injustice.

Now imagine being a doctor and actively advocating for that.
She suggests we should consider allocating healthcare resources using a *lottery.*

Allocating life saving resources using a lottery) is deeply irresponsible. The numbers clearly show the elderly are the most vulnerable, they should be vaccinated first after front-line workers.
Historical injustices are bad, but trying to rectify an inequality through a lottery is absurd. Resource allocation via lottery may mean healthy people in a vulnerable community may be vaccinated before elderly people in that same community. That makes things worse, not better.

A huge mistake people make is to think of postmodernism, post-structuralism, intersectionality, Critical Legal Studies, Critical Race Theory, 4th wave feminism, and Critical Theory as being separate and distinct, having nothing to do with each other

This is a massive mistake.
2/
These disciplines are connected. They are not like individual academic factories producing different theories. The fact is that the ideas that are produced in various disciplines cross-pollinate and influence each other. The theorists make use of and share each others ideas.
3/
These fields are akin to ingredients used by activists to make the stew of Critical Social Justice.

Mix some postmodernism here with some intersectionality there, add Critical Race Theory and 4th wave feminist post-structuralism and *taste test* YUMMY...Social Justice!👨‍🍳

This is exactly what @jordanbpeterson addresses when he talks about "the call to adventure" and "fighting off dragons." and the entire elite class has opted ignore him, laugh, and hand the culture to people who want to 'deconstruct masculinity" in the name of "social Justice."
2/
Then, when in the most predictable way possible it goes wrong in all the ways you might expect it to, people laugh, antagonize, mock and pile on.

They laugh, make fun, point fingers, and then put fourth a buffet of things that don't work. They offer no compelling answers...
3/
Stating "personal responsibility" while still continuing to advocate a combination of crass libertarianism and zombie Reaganism that leaves people without a direction or any sort of guidance is going to fail, and it is going to be laughed at.

No one cares.
