CDC-backed report claiming 'white people' didn’t care if 'people of color' died from Covid released by Washington health dept

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.
 

Community partnerships were fundamental to the COVID-19 response. Our partners compiled their insights in two documents that help us reflect and remember equity lessons learned. Learn more at https://t.co/vCit7tYjex pic.twitter.com/ioQeuXr8tS
