This feels like you read the headline and didn't even read the conclusion, and are just injecting another issue.
This paper suggests when told that there are racial health disparities, white people felt less worried about it (as they felt less at risk), and so rejected control measures more.
To take the bait a little and address the article you linked, calling a Catholic healthcare company that is actively against contraception the "woke left" pushing race-based treatment (that company claims they used an outdated set of metrics by mistake and changed it as soon as it was noted) is clearly a massive stretch to reach a conclusion the author wants.
Looks to me like one (very conservative) company made a bad decision about how to judge need for a treatment, not some left-wing woke conspiracy to deny white people healthcare.
- zmgsabst 5y agoI brought up a second topic related to the first — the impact of the medical establishment focusing on racial disparities during COVID. I felt it was topical because the heavy focus on racial disparities led to other outcomes which also impacted the same ethnic group’s perception of events. If the context had been black perception of the same events, then I would have posted an editorial about how mandates caused distrust and comparisons to previous experiments on ethnic minorities. But that wasn’t topical this time.
