Melinda Gates: 'Black people, Indigenous people' should get Coronavirus vaccine first ... For once, I agree!

She was referring to the highest risk groups, which makes sense.

She just doesn't want white people to be the Guinea Pigs... "rolls eyes"

I’d say “LOL Brietbart” but none of you could be bothered to read the article anyway so it’s an even bigger LOL.

Attacking the source works often for slant and bias, but usually not for actual quotes or undisputed facts. Melinda Gates did says that black people should be higher in priority for vaccines that other races/colors. Doesn't matter whether Brietbart is linked as the source or any of a dozen other sources.

High powered pancake slop sauce?

Um, of course the source matters. Are you saying no one has ever been misquoted? How about ACTUALLY READING this link and then get back to me. And as someone else said, if you want to be taken seriously, don’t post something from Brietbart. You don’t see the left quoting the Huffington Post. Would it kill you to actually read beyond headlines?

Let me paste the actual quote for lazy folks like you:

The first people that need this vaccine are the 60 million health care workers around the world. They deserve to get it before anybody else. Then you start tiering," 24Live quoted Gates as saying in the Time story, written by Jamie Ducharme.

That quote matched the one in Time (though Live24 incorrectly identified the magazine as a newspaper). But then, instead of continuing the direct quote, the Live24 piece paraphrased Gates' subsequent statement, writing, "Melinda went on to say that Black people in the U.S. must be vaccinated after more than 60 million health care workers around the world."

The same headline was repeated by Health Nut News, but attributed to Time.

The Time interview did not quote Gates as saying Black people "must be" vaccinated after health workers. Asked who needs vaccines after health care workers, Gates told the magazine, "in the U.S., that would be Black people next, quite honestly, and many other people of color."

They are having disproportionate effects from COVID-19. From there, people with underlying health conditions, and then people who are older. Those are the ones who all need it first. We also need to think about essential workers who are keeping our grocery stores open for us so we can buy food, or who are making sure that food moves through the warehouses."

So what’s the uproar about here snowflake?

You don't need to get all snotty. I did read it. And I researched whether the quote was accurate, which it largely was. It appears there are several "uproars" about it, and you are surely aware of all of them, since you've accused and insulted others for not being up to speed on this.

So what "uproar" are you pretending not to know about, snowfish?

Native Indians first. Black people next. The uber rich next. Hollywood next. Politicians next. Then the minions.
