Jo Walker, a self-described “nonbinary trans” “defund the police” activist who says “they” are living on “occupied” Native land, is the epidemiologist behind the CDC’s vaccine distribution model which favored vaccinating younger Blacks and Hispanics over higher at-risk old Whites.

The epidemiologist who modeled vaccine distribution for the CDC is a gender nonbinary, defund-the-police activist "living on occupied land." A hardcore SJW. Twitter account went private today. https://t.co/grlUxvpjlD

The CDC says the risk of death is 270x higher for 70+ as those aged 18-50. Jo’s model ignored the highly lethal nature of this disease to the elderly, so Jo was able to recommend that younger essential workers be prioritized above the elderly, because the elderly are whiter.

The NYT explained why this was fair, and now many states are implementing vaccination plans based on Jo’s model—resulting in hardly anyone over 70 being vaccinated. https://t.co/fvIUEzAZ8D pic.twitter.com/TnV9avCnli

As the Daily Mail reported on Sunday, half of U.S. states decided to give priority to vaccinating younger Blacks and Hispanics over elderly Whites based off the CDC’s recommendations.

The New York Times justified the discriminatory policy proposal earlier this month by quoting scientists saying that older populations are “whiter” and therefor need to die to “level the playing field.”
