In the article titled “Will Whites Get Flu Shot? Rush is wrong” and also here Who Will Get Your Child’s Flu Shots?
We were the first to warn you that minorities would get priority and preferential treatment when it comes to distribution and administration of the Mexican Swine Flu vaccine. Once again we were right! ( click here to read the article )
The Dallas Morning News, and others, are reporting that the Dallas county Health Department’s Clinic will prioritize among the people who will be given the Mexican Swine Flu Vaccine. Those who will move at the head of the list will be the health care workers. That of course makes sense as they will have a high probability of being exposed. Next in line however will be mostly minorities.
Here is where it gets funky, right after the health care workers, priority will be given to those without health insurance , ” the clinic is intended to offer the swine flu vaccine to people who are at the highest risk for severe illness and who have no medical insurance” (source)
Yes you’ve read it correct, those without health insurance will be given priority. A pregnant woman with health insurance will have to wait in line while an uninsured person gets their flu vaccine. A child whose parents have health insurance will have to stand in line behind someone who doesn’t have health insurance
I don’t want to hear that you don’t want the vaccine and that it doesn’t work anyway. That’s not the damn point! Understand that that is precisely why they are starting with this becasue many of you don’t care anyway. But once liberals have implemented a policy based on race, as this one is, and the policy has been accepted, that’s that. They move forward form there. Have you ever known libs to go back ? Of course not this is only the beginning. As I’ve warned you at the first tea parties, if you don’t stand up now by the time they’re done you’ll beg them to take only your money!
OK, so who are the uninsured in Dallas Texas?
Well overwhelmingly they are minorities and more specifically Hispanics. In Dallas they are probably also illegal aliens… So a US Citizen, that pregnant woman or that child, will get their flu vaccine once the uninsured illegal aliens get theirs. Aren’t you proud of your country?
Do you think this is propaganda? Here is the US Census Bureau report on the 2003 uninsured data
Race and Hispanic Origin
The uninsured rate did not change for blacks (about 19.5 percent) or Asians (about 18.7 percent) between 2002 and 2003. (The health insurance coverage rates of blacks and Asians were not different in 2003.) Non-Hispanics who reported white as their only race saw their uninsured rate increase from 10.7 percent to 11.1 percent.
The uninsured rate for Hispanics, who may be of any race, was 32.7 percent in 2003 — unchanged from 2002.
Based on a three-year average (2001-2003), 27.5 percent of people who reported American Indian and Alaska native as their only race were without coverage, lower than the uninsured rate for Hispanics (32.8 percent) but higher than that of the other race groups. Comparisons of two-year moving averages (2001-2002 and 2002-2003) showed that the uninsured rate for American Indians and Alaska natives did not change. source
A recent study form a the Pew Hispanic Center posted on Capitol Wire PR stated that: “Six-in-ten Hispanic adults in the U.S. who are neither citizens nor legal permanent residents* lack health insurance. In contrast, 28% of Hispanic adults who are citizens or legal permanent residents and 17% of the overall U.S. adult population lack health insurance. ” source
Now lets look at demographics of Dallas county
As of 2006 over 25% of the population of Dallas was foreign born. As of the 2005-2007 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau Blacks made up 33.3% of Dallas’ population;
Hispanics and Latinos made up 42.4% of Dallas’ population. Non-Hispanic whites now represent less than one-third of the city’s population. source
From this data we can extrapolate that about 14.1 percent of the the population of Dallas county are uninsured Hispanics and 6.6 percent are uninsured blacks for a total of 20.7 percent. 20.7 percent of the entire population of Dallas county.
Whites on the other hand make up only about 3.4% of the uninsured population of Dallas county. Understand that these figures are probably very much skewed because the Hispanic population of Dallas county is probably a lot bigger but lets go with this for now.
Even according to these figures minorities in Dallas county are more than six times more likely to get a flu vaccine than whites. But that’s OK because they are also uninsured and probably illegal!
Welcome to Obama’s post racial America.
