Harvard Medical School assistant professor Michelle E. Morse says a new study she participated in demonstrates how slavery reparations “could have been as effective as a vaccine” for COVID-19. Researches claim that infection rates for the contagion would have been reduced by up to 68% if Black Americans possessed $250,000 per individual or $800,000 per household for the historical injustice of slavery. “[Slavery reparations] could have been as effective as a vaccine,” she said for a Harvard Crimson piece published Feb. 16. “I think the fact that the U.S. has skirted its responsibility and avoided reach for reconciliation in a meaningful way

Well professor, that "vaccine" would have been even more effective (certainly more appreciated) if you had dished it out to all the white people from whom that kind of amount has probably been extracted over the last 70 years to pay for all the programs already used in a continuous effort to help our black brothers and sisters.
So you're telling us it's STILL not enough?

Whenever "studies have shown" or "experts/scientists agree," what follows is crap. Every time.

Prove you are a slave and I will get onboard. Find me a slave owner and I will see that he is punished. Otherwise, grow up and take care of yourself. Oh, wait, that translates into personal responsibility and that is a no no. Tough, be responsible for your own needs. If you are sitting around all day with your head in your hands because a long, long ago relative might have been a slave - you need therapy.

I am expecting there will be some retro-active reparation program for the "Irish Need Not Apply" group.

Washington Times is hard up to attract attention?
Dream up the most outrageous, looney-tune, over-the-top crapola you can and submit it to the Times.
Betcha get noticed, maybe make it above the fold...

There is no photo of this woke genius in the article, so I did an internet search. Yes, she is an Affirmative-Action recipient. In fact, here's the headline in the New York Daily News about the doctor's background: "From Haiti to Harvard Med School, NYC’s new chief medical officer brings eclectic resume."

Hilarious. Since Louisiana had more Covid than South Korea it must be due to racism. I am surprised they do not suggest that Covid was developed by whitey to kill People Of Color. Maybe they are saving that for their next paper.
Weird that they do not mention that wonderful left wing Boston had more deaths per capita than racist Louisiana.

Total, complete BS.
Reparations were paid in bloid in the 1860s, and again in trillions in welfare handouts since the 1960s.
GTH, reparations crazies.

I agree, all descendants of former southern slaves should be paid $800k in former southern currency; Confederate Dollars.

Just a Minute Here!
I DEMAND Reparations for my entire working career being on the 'short end of the stick' for every 'Affirmative Action" program to come down the pike. Whether it's for this 'minority' or that 'minority' or this 'under-represented group' or that 'under-represented' group,..... EVERYONE
I also DEMAND REPARATIONS for the excessive Insurance premium payments I have made for decades, as the Insurance companies charged ME for the money to pay excessive damages caused by an ethnic group (not my own) which, although making up something like 12% of the population in the USA, has caused something like 80% of the crimes, murder in particular.
There. Now go smoke THAT!

Fat-fingered the 'submit' button!
I was going to say "EVERYONE' was given an 'affirmative action' advantage.... a leg up....'extra points' on a competitive test.... except MY group!
BLATANT DISCRIMINATION that I had to overcome with my own Superior Ability and willingness to Work Hard.

Since there are no slaveowners existing or slaves surviving it's all moot. We've paid too much since the 1960s it's called welfare. Let's just drop the welfare term and rename it 'restitution'.

The whole left is insane or is living in a dream world. Just last week leftists in Oregon were pushing a new math system whereby it would be just peachy during the study of math if a White student came up with a 2+2=4 answer, and would be just as correct if a Black student came up with an answer to the same equation as being 2+2=44. So what happens when math graduates who pass out of college after putting down the 2+2=44 answer must be hired as structural engineers in accordance with government quotas then design and erect bridges and buildings that come crashing down, just a big cloud of smoke like that politically correct math proposal.

Actually, #15. Genuine Confederate banknotes are now worth more than their face amounts. Certain rare ones go for thousands apiece. If we pay them reparations it should be in our rapidly devaluing US dollars.

Here's a snippet from this study that apparently counts as science these days:
"Early in the outbreak, the aggregated relative risk of death for Black people compared to the white people was 3.57 (95% CI: 2.84-4.48).9 Such a difference is the product of, and further contributes to, vast disparities in Black and white health that are a concatenation of legacies of enslavement, legal segregation, white terrorism (e.g., lynchings during the Jim Crow period), hyperincarceration, lethal policing, and ongoing discrimination in housing, employment, policing, credit markets, and health care."

Imagine a once-reputable school having a Division of Global Health Equity with a race-baiting Blaque "professor" on the staff. A quarter of a million dollars plus a one-way nonrefundable ticket to Liberia or Gambia or whatever Wakanda stand-in? Done; we'd recoup that investment in short order and have a safer and more amiable society to boot.
