New York hit with lawsuit over racial prioritization in coronavirus treatment distribution

R&I – FS

A new lawsuit has been filed against the state of New York, alleging that it violated the Constitution with a “racist” way of prioritizing patients for coronavirus vaccines.

“[W]e are suing the State of New York for deciding not merely questions of financial survival – but of physical survival – based upon skin color,” America First Legal President Stephen Miller said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

“New York’s racist COVID decrees dispense lifesaving medicine based on the race or ethnic background of the patient

    . New York is deciding questions of life and death based on a New Yorker’s ancestry. This is outrageously illegal, unconstitutional, immoral and tyrannical. And that is why we are suing the state – because right and justice and morality urgently demand it. No citizen should lose his or her life because the government – of the State of New York, or anywhere, or at any level – punished them because of the color of their skin.”
