Come On Man! Biden’s CDC Director Officially Declares Racism a “Serious Public Health Threat”
Racism, racism is everywhere, well at least according to some seeking to encourage victimhood.
The Center for disease control is officially on board after an announcement from the director.
Biden’s CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on Thursday declared racism a “serious public health threat” saying the agency will accelerate its work to “address racism as a fundamental driver of racial and ethnic health inequities in the United States.”
Walesnky further said the Covid-19 pandemic “illuminated inequities that have existed for generations and revealed for all of America a known, but often unaddressed, epidemic impacting public health: racism.”
“What we know is this: racism is a serious public health threat that directly affects the well-being of millions of Americans. As a result, it affects the health of our entire nation. Racism is not just the discrimination against one group based on the color of their skin or their race or ethnicity, but the structural barriers that impact racial and ethnic groups differently to influence where a person lives, where they work, where their children play, and where they worship and gather in community. These social determinants of health have life-long negative effects on the mental and physical health of individuals in communities of color.”
Racism is a serious public health threat. The new CDC initiative is not just about the color of your skin but also about where you live, work, pray, & where your children play. All of these things feed into people’s health and their opportunities for health. https://t.co/hXWnqtqsei

Walensky laid out four actions the CDC will be taking to fight diseases, oh no, they are focusing on fighting racism:
- We will continue to study the impact of social determinants on health outcomes, expand the body of evidence on how racism affects health, and propose and implement solutions to address this.
- With COVID-19 funding, we are making new and expanded investments in racial and ethnic minority communities and other disproportionately affected communities around the country, establishing a durable infrastructure that will provide the foundation and resources to address disparities related to COVID-19 and other health conditions.
- We are expanding our internal agency efforts to foster greater diversity and create an inclusive and affirming environment for all.
- We are launching our new web portal “Racism and Health” as part of our ongoing commitment to serve as a catalyst for public and scientific discourse around racism and health and to be accountable for our progress.
From Biden down, the full-court press is underway. They divide the people by race, religion, and economic classes. Victims are easier to manipulate, which helps them deconstruct communities and eventually if they are successful, nations.
