Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday suggested that “institutional racism” played a role in the spread of coronavirus, telling a panel of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, “I cannot imagine that has not contributed.”

“We know from a lot of experience now that the situation regarding whether you have serious consequences — hospitalizations, intubation, complications, and death — relate very strongly to the prevalence and incidence of underlying, comorbid conditions, which are clearly, disproportionately more expressed in the African American population,” Fauci said, responding to a question from Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) about the disproportionate impact of the virus on minority communities.

Rush followed up with a question about whether “institutional racism” played a role in that dynamic. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he believed it did.

“Obviously, the African American community has suffered from racism for a very, very long period of time, and I cannot imagine that has not contributed to the conditions they find themselves in economically and otherwise.”

Trump letting Fauci and Birx have the level of control they did over the White House Covid-19 response is by far the biggest mistake of his presidency. And one that he completely owns.

It helped crush the booming economy, put millions out of a job, demoralized his base and is having effects on the 2020 election that is still pending.

So, melanin production has conspired to make blacks more susceptible to Covid?

Does that mean I can claim malaria is racist because I don’t have a half sickle-cell trait that would make me immune?

Damn, just think how racist the virus would have been if not for forced bussing back in the 70s.
