Wuhan Coronavirus Tag

Last week, I noted that Texas bucked the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The new instructions said that "essential workers" should have priority over the elderly after the inclusion of racial justice factors in the "expert" assessment when determining who receives the coronavirus vaccine during the next phase of distribution.

Of all the organizations issuing untrustworthy guidance and confusing recommendations, perhaps the World Health Organization has been the worst. As we end 2020, with the pandemic lockdowns destroying businesses and driving people to despair, WHO officials are ginning-up more fear.

I recently noted that the Centers for Disease Control proposed guidelines prioritizing "essential workers" over the elderly, using race to justify the decision. These recommendations run counter to those issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) and scientific evidence that the pandemic would be quelled more quickly if the more vulnerable populations were protected first.
