Coronavirus research happens mainly in the USA, Israel, and maybe China. But Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Muslim countries in general are not allowed to participate with their wisdom. The Coronavirus research results of sub-Saharan Africa are being culturally appropriated and stolen by Whites, without proper recognition, like so many inventions. Without Black women we will never find a cure for Covid-19. 1. Whites are 11.5% of the world population2. If a vaccine is obtained by over-representation of white racist supremacists, the vaccine must be boycotted.
When Stopping a Pandemic Takes a Backseat to Fighting Imaginary Racism: Best-Selling Author Stephen King Attacks the Whiteness of President Trump’s Coronavirus Team
- Previously on SBPDL: From January 30, 2020 — CNN Publishes Editorial Attacking President Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force as “Too White” and “Lacking Diversity”… Fewer White Faces Is More Important Than Stopping a Global Pandemic
- Note that Trump’s coronavirus team is all male, all old, and all white. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 13, 2020
This Tweet received 114,00+ “likes” and more than 13,800+ re-tweets… for those unfamiliar with Twitter lexicon, this means the Tweet went not only viral, but was received overwhelmingly positive.
“White” is a pejorative now.
“White” is a regarded as a negative, universally denounced by the woke amongst us. […]
Were a bunch of white guys to save the world from a meteorite, they wouldn’t be celebrated.
No, their efforts would be denounced, for their successful mission to save the planet lacked the requisite diversity, inclusion and equity.[…]
The question you must consider asking at this point is simple: would those anti-white individuals amongst us rather tens of millions of people needlessly die from the coronavirus/Wuhan Virus spreading across America or would they rather white people in leadership positions stop the pandemic from happening? […]
Because in the eyes of shocking number of white people in America: fighting white racism > stopping a pandemic from taking American lives.

In a suburb south of Boston, robots have already started manufacturing a potential vaccine against the fast-spreading coronavirus. Another candidate vaccine — developed when a similar virus terrified the world — sits in deep freeze in a repository in Houston, ready to be thawed and formulated into thousands of vials for further testing. Yet another is being put together at facilities in San Diego and Houston, with projections that it could be tested in people by summer.
To scientists, the work to create a vaccine against the new coronavirus is advancing with a speed they could barely have imagined a decade ago. At the same time, it’s not even close to quick enough to contain the spreading infection — and in many ways, the outbreak will test the capacity of science to react in real time to a new and unknown “pathogen X” that takes the world by surprise.

Would You Care If a White Man Cured Covid-19?
Heather Mac Donald, Wall Street Journal, April 17, 2020
Scientists at Oxford University and King’s College London are racing to develop an inexpensive ventilator that can be quickly built with off-the-shelf components. Should it matter that all the lead researchers on the project are men? If you believe university diversity bureaucrats and many academic deans, the initiative will be handicapped by the absence of women among the project heads. If there is a silver lining to the Covid-19 pandemic, it may be to expose as dangerous nonsense the practice of hiring researchers by sex and race rather than scientific accomplishments.
{snip} At the University of California, Berkeley, the life sciences department rejected 76% of the applications it received last year because they lacked sufficiently effusive diversity, equity and inclusion statements. The hiring committee didn’t even look at the failed applicants’ research records.
Were the remaining contenders the best scientists in their field? Apparently it doesn’t matter. What matters is how good they are at discussing “distinctions and connections between diversity, equity, and inclusion” during their job talks, in the words of UC’s diversity guidance. The rejected applicants showed insufficient knowledge of the “dimensions of diversity that result from different identities, especially URMs”—underrepresented minorities. {snip}
The diversity culling at UC Berkeley continued throughout the process, resulting in a 75% drop in white scientists from the original hiring pool to the final contenders, while the proportion of Hispanic and black applicants on the final short list rose 450% and 325%, respectively, from their initial shares of the hiring pool.
{snip}
Science education is being watered down in the hope of graduating more women, blacks and Hispanics. Do we want the best molecular biologists and pharmacologists working on a cure for Covid-19? Or do we want the best female, black and Hispanic molecular biologists and pharmacologists working on it? Sometimes the same person will occupy both categories. But when that isn’t the case, it is reckless to treat sex and race as superior qualifications. Given existing disparities in math and science skills, proportionality in STEM can be widely achieved only by lowering standards.
