VT. governor opens covid vaccines for Black, Indigenous or persons of color

He already had his vaccine

Imagine what people would say if you read: "Vermont is opening up coronavirus vaccine eligibility for those people who identify as White." Obviously, you would be alarmed because that, not the voting changes in Georgia, is really Jim Crow on steroids, as Biden claimed of the latter.

But it's precisely the opposite in Vermont as the vaccine eligibility is for anyone over 16 who identifies as Black, Indigenous, or a person of color.

Republican Gov. Phil Scott, an embarrassment to the Party, tweeted about the move on Thursday. While other states correctly focused on the more vulnerable population  based on occupation, age or health status, this moron focused on melanin level and Native Americans.

And we elect these racists.

"If you or anyone in your household identifies as Black, Indigenous, or a person of color (BIPOC), including anyone with Abenaki or other First Nations heritage, all household members who are 16 years or older can sign up to get a vaccine!" Scott tweeted.

The state's website advertises "BIPOC household focused clinics" in Northern and Southern Vermont. For the Burlington area, the state offers a vaccination form that specifies eligibility is for BIPOC individuals and members of their household. The first question asks: "Do you identify as Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color (BIPOC)? This includes anyone who is non-white."

Putting people in racial categories for political gains is disgusting and hopefully this governor will have a primary challenger and be voted out of office. At the very least, a legal challenge should be issued by lawmakers as this has to be considered unconstitutional.
