(Summit News) The Minnesota Department of Health has published a document which instructs hospitals to discriminate against white people by ensuring non-white patients have priority access when it comes to potentially life-saving COVID-19 treatments.
Yes, really.
The instruction is contained in a document titled ‘Ethical Framework for Allocation of Monoclonal Antibodies during the COVID-19 Pandemic’.
It states that “race and ethnicity alone, apart from other underlying health conditions, may be considered in determining eligibility for mAbs [monoclonal antibodies].”
Monoclonal antibodies are made in a lab and work by mimicking natural antibodies, which help the body to fight disease.
National supplies of the antibodies are running low because they have successfully been used to treat active COVID cases.
“Minnesota’s solution is to ration mAbs based on various health factors, each assigned a different score,” explains Alpha News.
“The maximum number of points a patient can amass is 24. Antibodies will be distributed based on these scores (highest numbers receiving treatment first) where supplies run low.”
Two of the health factors for deciding who gets priority include being BIPOC (2 points) and pregnancy (4 points)
“Based on this scoring metric, if two pregnant women, one black and the other white, visited a hospital with limited mAbs supplies, the black woman would receive priority because her score would be six, but the white woman’s score would only be four,” writes Kyle Hooten.
