In a document from December 27, the New York Department of Health writes that two antiviral oral therapies – paxlovid and molnupiravir – have been approved for acute use against covid-19.
The treatments can ” reduce the risk of hospitalization and death by 88% and 30% respectively “, states the ministry.
However, since deliveries are initially” extremely limited “, certain risk groups will be prioritized. Being non-white “should be considered a risk factor”, according to the Ministry of Health, as non-whites have been exposed to “long-term, systemic, health and social injustices that have contributed to an increased risk of serious illness and death in covid-19”. <. The message has drawn criticism on social media, accusing New York local authorities of discriminating against white people on the basis of their skin color, reports RT.
