Opps.
Bruce T. Vanderhoff, M.D., MBA, was appointed director of the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) by Republican governor Mike DeWine in August 2021. Double opps.
... Vance’s lies about Haitians aren’t just scoring political points off of the most vulnerable among us, but are also echoing extremely dark episodes in history. During the Nazi regime, German doctors falsely claimed that Jewish people were responsible for the spread of typhus, an infectious disease spread by lice.
Just Deranged is a racist Nazi.
And one doesn’t need to go back to the Nazi regime to find parallels to Vance’s vicious campaign against Haitian immigrants. In 1983, as the HIV epidemic took hold in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control announced which groups were more at risk, identifying them as “Homosexuals, Heroin users, Hemophiliacs, and Haitians” — especially those who had just arrived in America.
It was “the first time in the history of modern medicine that a pathological condition was tied to a national group,” according to author A. Naomi Paik.
The CDC later removed Haitians from its risk group, saying they were not actually more prone to the virus. But the damage was already done....
Think Just Deranged will ever admit error?
The stigma still persists today. In 2017, then-President Trump reportedly said that the 15,000 Haitian immigrants who had just arrived in the U.S. “all have AIDS.”
What is wrong with these people?
