Black people are more likely to die from covid because they have the highest rates of something called sickle cell anemia which puts their body at a disadvantage in fighting off covid. So in a way that makes them more vulnerable than any other race. So prioritizing for blacks makes sense from a medical standpoint

That isn’t the Dems logic here though, because Hispanics are also included. One could argue that their statistically higher death rates could be due to higher rates of poverty. But then why not just say we are prioritizing the treatment for the poor (sorta classist but w/e)

The logic escapes me, but it’s not being done like this everywhere to my knowledge
