The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has released a taxpayer-funded report claiming white people didn’t care that people of color were dying during the pandemic, a document that provided no sources to back up the outrageous claim.
The DOH posted “A Chorus of COVID – Voices from the Frontlines” on X, claiming the “insight report” would “help us all reflect on lessons learned” during the pandemic. Funding for the report was provided in part through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the report, “Sometimes white people disengaged on safety when they learned people of color needed help.” However, the document provided no sources to substantiate the claim, or any others made throughout the report.
Ironically, after making the racist and divisive claim, the report added, “Don’t foster divisions in our community. It collectively costs us human lives.”
