Pushback: Class action lawsuit against NY’s racial discriminatory COVID policy
New York voids the Civil Rights Act of 1964
The Democratic Party: “Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!”
William Jacobson, the founder of the website Legal Insurrection, has filed a class action lawsuit against New York State’s policy of providing COVID medical treatment not based on health factors but on race.
The suit is specifically against Mary T. Bassett, the Acting Commissioner of the New York Department of Health.
Essentially, Bassett and New York have established the same bigoted policies that have been instituted in states like Texas and Vermont that favor blacks and minorities over whites in determining who should get certain COVID treatments first. Based on the state’s racial criteria, a completely healthy 25-year-old black man would be favored over a 45-year-old white man, even though the latter is at much greater risk of death from COVID.
