The Democrats focus on nonsense extends to all aspects of government

IS “RACISM” A PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT?

PAUL MIRENGOFF:

“…The CDC’s director, Biden appointee Rochelle Walensky, has declared that racism is a public health threat. Accordingly, she has vowed to invest more resources in minority communities.

To the non-woke, Walensky’s declaration might seem like politically correct nonsense masquerading as science, in service of funneling money to a core Democrat constituency. But to leftists, the statement is true by definition, based on the following syllogism:

    1. All outcomes unfavorable to Blacks are the product of racism.
    2. Blacks have less favorable health outcomes than Whites.
    3. Therefore, the unfavorable health outcomes Blacks suffer are the product of racism.
    4. And therefore, racism is a public health threat.

I don’t know whether anyone is presenting Walensky’s conclusion in quite these terms. However, it seems clear that this sort of thinking underlies the view that racism threatens public health…”

In the four numbered items above, Mr. Mirengoff exposes the childlike logic that underlies Democrat policy prescriptions across government.
