Here is an example happening today. The Build Back Better act being voted for in the house today gives a massive tax cut that only benefits the very rich.

It says:

"The doses listed here are for approved indications or from reported experiences or clinical trials."

I love what you are doing and trying to do similar myself. The more people that do, the better.

But I think there is a lot of value in attacking this problem with the suggestions in this article through legislation.

I know of data that is being collected about people that is totally out of their control, that is one reason why legislation is needed.

"if it is an administrative short-cut"

Isn't this they very definition of fascism. Rather then judging a person based on the content of their character, medical conditions etc . . . taking a short cut and judging them simply on the color of their skin.

Wow what a thoughtful response. Thank you.

I take the view that when a person joins any community, nobody (including themselves) know the ultimate contribution they will make to that community.

This group is bringing a lot of people to the Linux and FOSS community that would not otherwise have joined. As they discover what it has to offer, they will discover ways to help.

BTW if you check out their group chat on Telegram, they spend most of their time pointing people to a wide variety of FOSS projects.

I think the community will be better for their efforts then not.

But according to the Mayo Clinic, while there’s no evidence that people of color have genetic or other biological factors that make them more likely to be affected by COVID-19, they are more likely to have underlying health conditions that can be problematic for COVID such as type 2 diabetes. So, why is the race listed as a criterion, rather than the underlying health conditions that would make COVID more problematic? https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/11/14/is-race-a-qualifier-for-monoclonal-antibody-treatments-in-texas-n475756

Delta chat took the Signal open source and hooked up the back end to SMTP. https://delta.chat/en/

What about taking the open source Telegram client and hooking up XMPP protocol to it.
