The idea you could go 12 tweets on why Black folks & other POC suffer higher rates of #COVID19 & never use the word racism is malpractice.

The answer to all of this is racism.

Environmental Racism
Structural Racism
Instutional Racism

Why are you like this, @JeromeAdamsMD? https://twitter.com/Surgeon_General/status/1248928840224780290

As an asthmatic, the idea that you would use your inhaler as an inspirational prop, is gross. Some of those asthmatic kids you were talking to can't afford inhalers & will die of an asthma attack before they get the chance to be Surgeon General. Talk about that, @JeromeAdamsMD.

& as you know, the inhaler you used as a prop is a "rescue inhaler" because by the time you pull that out your health is fucked. For many it's all they have because they can't afford maintenance meds. If you don't have 1, the next stop is the ER or the morgue. @JeromeAdamsMD

There are doctors put on TV JUST TO CORRECT what you say, like Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice who was just on CNN.

Everyday I see doctors who are speaking DIRECTLY, POWERFULLY, & BRAVELY to the root causes of these issues & who are on the frontlines. Why can't you, @JeromeAdamsMD?

- transatlantic slave trade
- Native American genocide
- exploitation of undocumented Latinx people
- Chinese Exclusion Act
- Internment of Japanese Americans
- redlining, blockbusting, gentrification

Have you heard of these things, @JeromeAdamsMD? Are you allowed to say them?

You went to Berkeley at the same time I was living there. I talk about how being in the East Bay was my political awakening. What were you doing? You must've at least heard these conversations when you hurried down Telegraph to class, @JeromeAdamsMD. Was your degree by mail?

I could go on & on about all the ways racismis responsible for what Black folk & POC are going through right now w/ #COVID__19. Could you, @JeromeAdamsMD? I'm a college dropout & comic. You have several degrees & are the Surgeon General. Be more Dr. Sanjay Gupta & less Dr. Drew.

Whether you know it or not, at some point when he's done w/ you, Trump is gonna throw you away. He's tossed bigger fish off the MAGA boat than you. & then all you'll be left w/ is your record of soft selling, three card monty-ing, anti-sciencing, Big Mama nonsense. @JeromeAdamsMD

HELP, @MELANIATRUMP! I CAN'T STOP CYBERBULLYING @JeromeAdamsMD!!! I'M NOT #BEBEST-ING THE WAY YOU WORKED SO HARD TO TEACH THE NATION TO #BEBEST!!!!

Also, serious question, @JeromeAdamsMD.

Are Big Mama & Pop Pop related to Joe Biden's friend Corn Pop?

Just curious?
