State-Sponsored Racism: FDA Guidelines Instruct Healthcare Providers to Prioritize Racial Minorities Over Whites For Access to Scarce Covid Treatments

In several states like New York, Minnesota, Utah, and even Texas, non-white citizens are receiving priority for scarce monoclonal antibody treatments and Covid oral antiviral pills, regardless of their age or underlying conditions, thanks to Marxist health-equity policies that have been implemented by the local governments.

This ‘rationing based on race’ policy has sparked intense backlash against the states which have implemented them, but the idea did not start within local health departments – the destructive scheme actually came directly from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to the agency’s own documents.

The FDA’s emergency use authorizations for monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals specify that the treatments have only been authorized for “high risk” patients. The agency included guidelines on what factors would qualify a patient to receive the therapeutics, and unsurprisingly, one of the main determinations was their race.

Even though the FDA’s guidelines are nonbinding and unenforceable, they have been used by the local state governments as justification for implementing the racist policy.

Racism – FDA approved – because, it’s for your health.

From The Washington Free Beacon:

The FDA “fact sheet” for Sotrovimab, the only monoclonal antibody effective against the Omicron variant, states that ‘race or ethnicity’ can ‘place individual patients at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19.’

The fact sheet for Paxlovid, Pfizer’s new antiviral pill, uses the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s definition of ‘high risk,‘ which states that ‘systemic health and social inequities’ have put minorities ‘at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19.’

The guidance sheets are nonbinding and do not require clinicians to racially allocate the drugs. But states have nonetheless relied on them to justify race-based triage.

“The FDA has acknowledged that in addition to certain underlying health conditions, race and ethnicity ‘may also place individual patients at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19,’ Minnesota’s plan reads. ‘FDA’s acknowledgment means that race and ethnicity alone, apart from other underlying health conditions, may be considered in determining eligibility for [monoclonal antibodies].'”

How is this even legal in America?

The FDA declined to comment on either state’s plan, saying only that “there are no limitations on the authorizations that would restrict their use in individuals based on race,” according to The Washington Free Beacon.

“Non-Partisan” Judge Who Ordered PRIVATE COMPANY “Cyber Ninjas” To Give Up Personal Communications To Leftist Newspaper Or Face $50K/Day Fine Donated To Campaigns of Anti-Trump US Lawmakers

On November 9, an Arizona Appeals Court declined to grant the request of private corporation Cyber Ninjas Inc. to prevent the Arizona Republic, a Gannett owned publication, from forcing them to turn over their private communications

100 Percent Fed Up reports – Cyber Ninjas Inc., a private corporation retained to serve as the primary vendor to audit voting equipment and ballots cast in the Maricopa County election in November 2020, sought relief from Superior Court Judge John Hannah’s order that it turn over copies of public records that it possessed.

Jack Wilenchik of Wilenchik & Bartness appealed the decision.

“These courts have refused to recognize that a public record must actually be public—meaning it must be owned by the government, much less in its possession. Ordering a private company to produce its own records to the government violates the 4th and 4thAmendments inter alia,” he said in an email. “The Court’s decision also opens up every single employee of the government to being sued on a public records request, because they are all ‘custodians’ of public records in the court’s view.”

Following the AZ Appeals Court decision, Law.com reported on the case.

The Arizona Senate initiated the audit and retained Cyber Ninjas, who then hired multiple private companies to assist in the audit, according to court records.

In June, the Arizona Republic newspaper submitted a public records request to Cyber Ninjas to review documents relating to the audit, but the company did not produce any records to the newspaper’s request.

Phoenix Newspapers Inc. filed a statutory special action under Arizona’s PRL (Public Records Law), claiming that Cyber Ninjas is in sole possession of audit-related public records because of its contract with the Senate. Senate President Karen Fann and other Senate officials were identified in the special action.

Cyber Ninjas moved to dismiss the complaint, but Hannah denied the request and ordered it produce copies of the public records relating to the audit.

The vendor claimed it could not be subject to suit under the public records law because it is not a public entity.

“Cyber Ninjas argues that the logic of the superior court’s order would open the files of all government contractors to public inspection. We need not decide the extent to which the PRL applies to businesses that contract with the government to provide ordinary goods or services that government regularly purchases for the public,” Cruz wrote on behalf of the court. “Contrary to Cyber Ninjas’ contention, our ruling does not mean that construction companies and office-supply vendors will have to rush to establish new ‘public records’ departments.”

Yesterday, after hearing the case, the “non-partisan” Maricopa Superior Court Judge John Hannah ordered the Cyber Ninjas firm to pay a $50K per day fine until it turns over records from their review of the Maricopa County forensic audit to The Arizona Republic, a leftist publication owned by Gannett.

Shortly after the judge’s decision was made, it was announced that Doug Logan’s Cyber Ninja operation was shutting down. Doug Logan refuted the reports about Cyber Ninjas shutting down, calling them “misleading.”

Fox 26 News Henry spoke with Doug Logan. Here is their report who told them the reports about his company shutting down over the judge’s ruling are “misleading” and that the company’s decision to shut down had nothing to do with the court ruling this week in Arizona.

The Florida company was hired to run the Arizona Senate audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona’s largest county. Maricopa voted Democrat for the first time since Harry Truman after World War II. It must have been Joe Biden’s charisma? Or maybe it was fraud?

The media attacked the Florida firm mercilessly for running the investigation on the questionable results in Maricopa County.

The audit found evidence of alleged illegal activity and over 700,000 suspect ballots issues. An Arizona judge fined Cyber Ninjas $50,000 a day for noncompliance with an August order to turn over audit-related records to the far left Arizona Republic.

Doug said the company paid off many of its creditors but was still in debt. In fact, Cyber Ninjas laid-off workers in January and made the decision to shut down last year. Logan said his employees were all paid before they were let go.

Final Death-Blow to Keystone Pipeline: Judge Tosses Multi-State Lawsuit Fighting Biden's Job-Killing Move

On his first day in office, President Joe Biden revoked the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, the oil pipeline that runs through Canada and part of the U.S. His reason was that it would be harmful to the environment.

Twenty-one states then filed a lawsuit in March against the administration, questioning Biden’s authority to revoke the permit, as NBC News reported. A few months later, in June, Alaska and Florida also joined the lawsuit, bringing the total to 23 states against the Biden administration’s action.

However, in June, TC Energy Corporation, the Canada-based energy company and owner of the pipeline, canceled the project, as Bloomberg reported.

In light of TC Energy’s cancellation, on Thursday, a federal judge dismissed the multiple states’ lawsuit, as The Washington Times reported.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown said that TC Energy’s decision to terminate the $8 billion, 1,200-mile project meant the lawsuit was now moot.

“But the court takes TC Energy at its word that Keystone XL is dead. And because it is dead, any ruling this court makes on whether President Biden had the authority to revoke the permit would be advisory,” Brown wrote in his decision. “Thus, the court has no jurisdiction and the case must be dismissed as moot.”

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, whose state was part of the suit, called the situation “unfortunate.”

Knudsen said it was regrettable that the question of whether the president has the authority to revoke a congressionally approved cross-border permit would go unaddressed “because TC Energy inserted itself into the court proceedings unprompted.”

In previous comments, Knudsen had argued that once Congress gives approval to a permit, constitutionally, a president does not have the authority to then rescind that.

“The Constitution is clear that presidents do not have the power to regulate foreign and interstate commerce or to unilaterally undo an act of Congress,” Knudsen said in a statement published by the Montana Department of Justice.

“We will continue to fight to this federal overreach — along with the 22 other states — so that Montanans can benefit from the jobs, tax revenue, and enhanced energy independence the Keystone XL will bring to our communities.”

The jobs and infrastructure that the pipeline would have brought to communities was another major reason so many states were pushing for the pipeline to be completed and put into operation.

The construction of the pipeline provided thousands of jobs, even if they were just temporary, as the Austin American-Statesman reported.

TC Energy hired American contractors for the construction and those contractors were responsible for hiring 7,000 union workers.

‘Risk of conflict is real’ – NATO chief

NATO boss says the alliance is ready to negotiate with Russia, but does not rule out a ‘conflict’

NATO is open to hearing Moscow’s concerns, the bloc’s head Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday. However, he added that any moves to reduce Ukraine tensions must be reciprocal, and not undermine the European “security order.”

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg explained the bloc’s approach to negotiations with Russia during a press conference on Friday, following an extraordinary meeting of the member states’ foreign ministers.

The alliance’s boss squarely blamed the deteriorating relations and tensions around Ukraine on Moscow, reiterating the claims of a “military build-up” allegedly conducted by Russia on its neighbor’s borders. The allegations have been consistently dismissed by Moscow, which insists any movement of troops within its own territory is strictly its domestic business.

“The risk of conflict is real. Russia’s aggressive actions seriously undermine the security order in Europe,” Stoltenberg insisted on Friday.

At the same time, the official signaled that the NATO bloc was not eager to enter a war with Russia over Ukraine. While the West has repeatedly warned Russia over severe “consequences” should it “invade” its neighbor – a charge repeatedly denied by Moscow – Ukraine is not a NATO member and an attack on it does not invoke the bloc’s collective defense, Stoltenberg reminded the journalists at the press conference.

We have to remember that Ukraine is a very close partner. We provide support to Ukraine, but Ukraine is not covered by NATO’s collective defense clause because Ukraine is not a NATO member. They are a partner.

The bloc is ready to engage with Russia on outstanding security issues, but Moscow should not expect any one-sided concessions from the alliance, Stoltenberg warned. He also expressed confidence that the US won't make any concessions to Russia at the expense of the bloc’s European members.

“We are ready to engage in arms control with Russia, conventional and nuclear, but that has to be reciprocal,” Stoltenberg stated. “That’s a different thing – imposing one-sided restrictions … we can’t end up in a situation where we have second-class NATO members where NATO as an alliance is not allowed to protect them.”

The top diplomats of NATO members got together for an online summit ahead of the upcoming US-Russia talks, as well as the first meeting of the NATO-Russia Council in years. The US-Russia talks, set to be led by high-level officials of the two nations, is scheduled to begin in Geneva on January 10. The NATO-Russia Council meeting, set to be the first one since 2019, is expected to take place on January 12.
