Biden’s Coronavirus Advisor Zeke Emanuel Believes It’s Not Worth Living Past 75, Thinks Vaccines Should Be Given to Elderly Last

Dr. Zeke Emanuel, an advisory board member appointed to Joe Biden’s coronavirus task force, has argued that living past the age of 75 is not of value and that younger people should receive a flu pandemic vaccine first.
In 2014, Emanuel penned an article arguing that the quality of life by the age of 75 had dwindled to the point that one would be “better off” if nature took “its course swiftly and promptly.”
“The fact is that by 75, creativity, originality, and productivity are pretty much gone for the vast, vast majority of us,” he argued.
Biden, the presumed President-elect, will be 78-years-old when he is inaugurated in January.
Emanuel’s article appeared in The Atlantic.
So Biden picks Zeke Emanuel for his COVID task force.
Emanuel wants to die at 75.
Argues that old age shouldn't be prolonged.
Says old people don't contribute to society.
Says he'll refuse healthcare, even flu shot.
But now he'll "protect" our nation's elderly from COVID?!

Zeke Emanuel, Top Adviser on Joe Biden’s Coronavirus Task Force, Thinks People Should Die at 75
Think about that for a moment. Take stock of all the people in your life you know over the age of 75 – relatives, friends, relatives of friends – and ask yourself if it’s worth it for them to continue living.
Emanuel, the brother of former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, also helped shape the policy behind Obamacare.
What’s more is Emanuel, according to Greg Scandlen, the founder of Consumers for Health Care Choices, has done extensive work on a “complete lives system” of allocating health resources.
“This would have prioritized adolescents and young adults in receiving health care and put infants and the elderly at the end of the line,” Scandlen wrote, also in 2014.
Turns out Zeke Emanuel wants to look at limiting #COVID vaccines according to life expectancy. What’s next, limiting treatment?
That translates to healthcare rationing & it’s dangerous.
Zeke Emanuel is also the person Biden wants to head up America’s COVID task force.
Big no.

The system interprets how to allocate, among other things, vaccinations during a flu pandemic, when the supply may be limited.
In the same Atlantic piece, Emanuel writes that the elderly should eschew a flu shot, and in the event of a pandemic, “a younger person who has yet to live a complete life ought to get the vaccine or any antiviral drugs.”
“Dying at 75 will not be a tragedy.”

Biden Touts Following the Science
Throughout the presidential campaign, we’ve heard time and again how Biden will ‘follow the science and/or scientists’ when it comes to handling the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of his scientists has argued that the elderly should not continue living and they should be further down the line in receiving a vaccine.
Meanwhile, another man rumored to be on Biden’s Cabinet radar as Attorney General of the United States, Andrew Cuomo, wants to hold off on the vaccine for two months, potentially costing countless lives, just so he can say President Trump didn’t distribute it.

“You have two months, and we can’t let this vaccination plan go forward the way the Trump administration is designing it because Biden can’t undo it two months later, we’ll be in the midst of it,” Cuomo stated.
“I’ve been talking to governors across the nation about that; how can we shape the Trump administration vaccine plan to fix it, or stop it before it does damage.”
Drugmaker Pfizer announcing Monday that their COVID-19 vaccine is proving to be over 90% effective and that they hope to have enough doses to immunize 15 to 20 million people within a month.

Biden’s top ‘science’ guy in Zeke Emanuel has a history stating seniors should not get the vaccine.
President Trump, on the other hand, has said seniors would be “first in line for the vaccine.”
The science says seniors are the ones who have borne the heaviest burden of the coronavirus pandemic, while survival rates for the younger are astronomically high.
“My message to America’s seniors today is one of optimism, confidence and hope. Your sacrifice has not been in vain,” Trump said in a pre-election speech.
“The light at the end of the tunnel is near.”
With Emanuel in charge, the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ may take on a whole different meaning.
