Terrible zealots everywhere, especially among the elites! The Inquisition of the 21st century continues! Appalling! When will this absurdity end?
When doctors (who took the Hippocratic Oath to do no harm) engage in divisive ideologies and demagoguery, then something is really wrong!
"Race-based medicine has been pervasively interwoven into the fabric of health care delivery in the United States for more than 400 years. Race is a historically derived social construct that has no place as a biologic proxy. In addition to valid measures of social determinants of health, the effects of racism require consideration in clinical decision-making tools in ways that are evidence informed and not inappropriately conflated with the limiting phenotype of race categorization. This policy statement addresses the elimination of race-based medicine as part of a broader commitment to dismantle the structural and systemic inequities that lead to racial health disparities."
