Biden Admin Pushes Race Marxism in Medicine

With COVID, we have already seen a growing acceptance from some people to abandon our long-held medical ethos to treat all patients equally irrespective of lifestyle choices, race, career choice, etc. As we erode this ethos, there are those willing to step in and establish a new ethos. For those in the “wrong” ethnic, political, or gender classification, our healthcare system is being weaponized against them. Marxists have a long history of using public policy to starve out their enemies.

The move to pressure healthcare professionals to repeat the claim that racial health disparities are caused by racism and not lifestyle choices is part of a broader, years-long push to hardwire “race Marxism” into the medical field. The effort stretches from medical schools and research institutions to patient care and medical administration, with potentially devastating effects for patients and the healthcare system as a whole.

“Race Marxism,” analogous to “anti-racism” as popularized by Ibram X. Kendi, seeks to promote equal outcomes across racial groups, as opposed to a “colorblind” approach which favors equal opportunity and does not take race into account.

Dr. Erica Li, a pediatrician, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that “race Marxism” — a phrase for which she does not take credit — pits “classes” of people against each other on the basis of race, gender or sexuality rather than economic class, as classical Marxism did.

The ideology’s newfound popularity caused a frenzy in the medical community in 2020 as doctors, researchers, medical schools and other medical institutions sought to infuse “anti-racist” practices into their work.

Doctors and medical institutions are questioning how they allocate limited resources in crisis situations in light of unequal health outcomes for different racial groups. Specifically, some medical professionals have advocated for prioritizing black and Latino patients on the basis of race when rationing limited, life-saving medical resources.

    Speaking about Marxists, tge little Diva, Rule thee but Not For Me AOC is partying it up in Florida, going maskless at a drag bar.
    And then she says that those who citizens her want to sate her.
    Umm, not me, she’s probably been ridden more times than Man O War.
