Fauci Says Pandemic Exposed Undeniable Effects of Racism

[Gold Dragon]

God said "Be fruitful and multiply." Which god are you taking your cues from?

I’m very thankful you brought this up. If you keep reading that verse, that command has a goal or end point. To “fill the earth”. And how will we know the earth is full? Again if you keep reading the next two verses, it tells you. We are to subdue and rule the earth which sustains us, plants and animals. The earth is full when nature can no longer sustain us.

Rule in the sense of God’s righteous and kingly rule. Would God support a king who exploits, enslaves, destroys his people and land for his personal enjoyment? Is that what ruling means in God’s sight?

No, he tells us what it means a few verses later in Genesis 2:15 with giving humans their work.

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

I think few people would try to argue this work was only intended for Eden. Our work is to keep the earth so that it can continue to sustain us. Overpopulation (the earth being full) occurs when we continue to exploit and destroy nature against his command for us instead of stewarding it.

I will go on record and say, as a Baptist, the following probably has more to do with the above primarily because of the incessant teaching of Christianity, I do not believe God intended us to eat bats, dogs, cats nor a lot of other things.

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Gen 7:2

And like; Forrest Gump: That's all I have to say about that.

You don't need to eat animals to get diseases from them.

Dr. Fauci is a joke and I usually avoid these threads because of the inevitable race-baiters, but it IS true that covid is harder on minorities. I don't think a virus, even one manufactured in commie land can be "racist" but the sky-high obesity rates among blacks and browns have more to do with the impact of covid here.

In most settings, obesity is a problem of the wealthy. Not so in our modern western cultures with its access to cheap high energy, high carbohydrate, high fat foods and for those who suffer the consquences of racial inequities, limited access to quality health care that would be able to prevent obesity and the consequences of metabolic syndrome (hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, vascular disease). Obesity is a problem of the poor in countries like US, Canada, Australia, etc.

There is nothing genetic or cultural about obesity rates of blacks and browns in the US except that they both suffer from the same systemic racial inequities that cause it. Remove those inequities that cause the low socioeconomic situation they find themselves in and you remove the obesity and poor health outcomes.

Foreign-born Blacks have better health outcomes than U.S.-born Blacks. The extent to which the health status of foreign-born Blacks change with increased exposure to the U.S. socio-cultural environment is less known than for other immigrant groups. Two prominent theories used to understand foreign and U.S.-born health disparities are the immigrant health paradox theory and immigrant health assimilation theory. The literature is conclusive that foreign-born Blacks have better health outcomes than U.S.-born Blacks, but this dissertation questions the appropriateness of framing this pattern as an immigrant health paradox due to the better socioeconomic status (SES) of foreign-born Blacks, relative to U.S.-born Blacks in general.

I would be in favor of, instead of Gates and Soros and others spending their money on increasing their power and wealth, to just give it to the poor so they can eat better food and loose weight, have better health and have more kids.

After all I know their hearts bleed for us.
