CDC declares racism ’a serious public health threat’
Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, said the agency would take steps to address an issue affecting “the health of our entire nation.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday labeled racism as a serious threat to public health and said it would take steps to address the matter.

“What we know is this: racism is a serious public health threat that directly affects the well-being of millions of Americans,” Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, said in a statement. “As a result, it affects the health of our entire nation.”

Walensky, one of the most public faces of the Biden administration’s coronavirus response, is the latest administration health official to highlight the issue of racism in public health, and the CDC, the nation’s largest public health agency, joins a number of other groups that have done the same. According to the American Public Health Association, more than 170 local and state leaders, as well as public health entities, have declared racism a public health crisis or emergency.

She added that the pandemic has disproportionately affected communities of color because of racism, which she defined as structural barriers that have an impact on the ways different racial and ethnic groups live.

“Over generations, these structural inequities have resulted in stark racial and ethnic health disparities that are severe, far-reaching and unacceptable,” she said.

I agree. Americans have possibly never been more focused on skin color. It starts at an early age in American schools, is fueled by imagery & advertisements on social media and then more on mainstream media. Recently corporations joined the racism by starting a campaign on "racial equity".

It is sick to constantly remind people they look different.

Good. Time to put any racist bastard in quarantine. We should also expedite the no racism passport. Racist bastards have no right to travel or even go to ballgames. :tu

The Trump-Chyna virus exacerbated this.

Do Asians count? They have lower death rate than whites.


Hint: obesity

Hint: obesitylike COVID, there is apparently only one and only one relevant metric for you, death.

the inference seems to be that short of death, no adverse health outcomes are important or newsworthy.

This forum is on the radar again.

Law enforcement, AND GUNS FOR EVERYONE EVERYWHERE, are a public health threat

VAWA was blocked by Repugs because the Pootin-tool, bankrupt NRA wanted wife-beaters to have guns.

always with the looks and never with the automatic treatment

you completely don’t understand how many states school textbooks completely left out slavery or treated it like it was good for the Africans.

dancing around all kinds of history to make the United States look good instead of telling the truth. all the way down to the Alamo. children are lied to very early age
their parents are happy to go along, sometimes...

if you looked at the selection of textbooks in the state of Texas you would get it
my father, a Republican, would laugh at it. so bad . People should not have to go to college just to get punched in the face with the truth. And yes it creeps into science as well.
let’s just dance right past evolution, your church may not like it
or your synagogue, or more likely your mosque
