You're trying to shoehorn an unfounded accusation of racism into a discussion about antibiotics. This sh*t is tiresome.
- Spivak 2y agoWe're not talking about antibiotics, we're talking about policy. And any discussion of policy requires systems level thinking. I'm not accusing anyone of racism, I'm white and reasonably affluent idgaf, I genuinely believe the policy being proposed would be selfishly better for me personally. This is the reality of medical care right now in the US what are you talking about? https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/articles/2021/06/physicians-more-likely-to-doubt-black-patients https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/articles/2021/06/physic... The existing bias in the medical system along with policy that asks doctors to doubt more patients has a pretty damn predictable outcome.
