Scoring rubric gave race more weight than diabetes, obesity, asthma, and hypertension combined.
WFB: One of the largest hospital systems in the United States gave race more weight than diabetes, obesity, asthma, and hypertension combined in its allocation scheme for COVID treatments, only to reverse the policy after threats of legal action.
SSM Health, a Catholic health system that operates 23 hospitals across Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, began using the scoring system last year to allocate scarce doses of Regeneron, the antibody cocktail that President Donald Trump credited for his recovery from COVID-19. A patient must score at least 20 points to qualify for the drug. The rubric gives three points to patients with diabetes, one for obesity, one for asthma, and one for hypertension, for a total of six points. Identifying as “Non-White or Hispanic” race, on the other hand, nets a patient seven points, regardless of age or underlying conditions.
In a Dec. 30 email to physicians, the health system said it would use the same rubric for Sotrovimab, a monoclonal antibody treatment that has proven effective against the now-dominant Omicron variant. more here
Catholic. Seriously??? I would expect it from a gov’t-run hospital, or something like UCLA. But Catholic? Sad.
But they secretly give 40 points to anybody who tells them, “Gimme da drugs or I’ll sic BLM on ya.”
“But Catholic? Sad.”
Guess you forgot about Pope Francis the Talking Ass?

Cathwoke.
This is another reason I haven’t been to a catholic church in decades. Pedos #1 Reason. Frankie #2.
More pedos in the NEA and AFT than in the Catholic Church.
Come to think of it, there’re more pedos on Capitol Hill than in the Catholic Church!

LCD: Many “Catholic “ hospitals are about as Catholic as some Catholic universities. Not very.
If one of my family was denied treatment because of this system, and suffered and/or died, I would sue that hospital into oblivion. Where are the ambulance chasers?
The County I live in says they will distribute free COVID test and would do it “equitably” my wife and I haven’t been able to get one yet.
ABW Anybody but White.
@left coast dan: Why are you surprised at Catholics playing the race card, Salvation Army wants you to apoligize for being a racists. There’s going to be a lot of suing going on, businesses will go under. Worse thing an employer ever wants is a lawsuit against them.
There is no point in debating people who make blatantly racist policies like this. It’s time to start taking people who enact blatantly anti-white policies, knee cap them, and then toss them head first into a Porto-Potty tank. Enough of being reasonable with people who want you dead just because you’re white.
Not me,
Why would you want one? If you’re sick, you’re sick. If you’re not sick, you’re not.
Don’t need a test for that.
If you come down with the sniffles, put some honey and lemon in some heated Old Crow – you’ll be better in the morning.
There! Saved you a trip to the Emergency Room.

My guess is that they’ll continue on the sly.
