Kudos to Mayor Eric Adams’ crew for rejecting the racist de Blasio strategy to public well being.
After The Publish revealed that the town Well being Division had used race as a key determiner for allocating COVID-testing sources, the brand new crew shortly opened a slew of latest testing websites throughout the town, undoing the outrageous inequity.
Then-Mayor Invoice de Blasio’s Taskforce on Racial Inclusion & Fairness had ID’d 31 neighborhoods to obtain “precedence” consideration from the town to fight “structural racism” and “white privilege” amid the pandemic. Areas deemed too “white” or “privileged” have been final to get testing sources: Queens’ Center Village, for one, went weeks throughout the Omicron surge with no single metropolis testing facility.
Now it’ll get two new websites, together with three for Staten Island’s equally uncared for South Shore.
However “racial fairness” stays a sizzling concept in public-health circles, with the Division of Well being and Psychological Hygiene additionally seeking to discriminate in distributing COVID therapies like monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals. Crew Adams will doubtless must preserve stomping on this insanity.
