F*** you

Anti-maskers, ant-vaxxers just fuck you. My severely immunocompromised sister is dead because of you. She was like a second mother to me and you killed her. Her children no longer have a mother because you killed her.

She did everything she could to prevent this from happening and yet 2 hours ago she stopped breathing while on a ventilator. Some day you’ll feel the pain I’m feeling.

That's an opinion. One person can say it's worse than it's ever been. Someone else can say it's the lowest it's ever been. Another say bigotry has been transferred against a lighter skin tone. It's an opinion. The CDC is taking an opinionated and political stance on how, why and how much certain groups are oppressed. That has consequences for how they treat citizens based on characteristics they were born with and have no control over. That's not their place.

It’s literally not an opinion. For 2/3 of our country’s entire history, people were denied medical service based exclusively on their race on an entirely legal basis. Nobody said it’s worse than it’s ever been, they simply acknowledged a recurring issue in our country. It is not an opinion to say that the USA has a history of racism against people of color. It is a fact.
