      They did the same with covid vaccines in USA. They found that black people died disproportionately and was disproportionately infected so in order to minimize death they prioritized black people and black majority neighbourhoods because that’s where each shot saved the most lies. Conservatives went mental on a very similar way. Then they decided the whole thing wasn’t happening but at that point it was vital that colorblindness was maintained even if objectively more people died from it.
