This is rhetoric steeped in racism. I realize that @JeromeAdamsMD is black, but the fact is that he gives cover here to people like this president, who have worked consciously to exacerbate the very factors that give black, Latino, and indigenous people worse health outcomes. https://twitter.com/yamiche/status/1248679421122396162
There is no need for us to call the Surgeon General names. We couldn’t possibly insult @JeromeAdamsMD more than he has insulted himself today. Since he is black and has talked about his own heart condition and high blood pressure, I mean that literally. https://cbsn.ws/2wyopak
COVID-19 is killing disproportionate numbers of black, Latino, and indigenous people. The @Surgeon_General’s reaction to that was to tell us not to so drugs, smoke, drink alcohol. That was stupid. I don’t think my column is. My latest, for @RollingStone. https://rol.st/2wuWasZ
