Yes.
Excerpt:
Texas doesn’t have statewide guidelines for critical care and triage, which means that caregivers are left to their own local organizing. But tough times like the ones brought on by low vaccination rates and the delta variant require a re-examination of priors. This fourth wave of Covid hospitalizations differs from all the others, because almost everyone who is severely ill is also unvaccinated. In Texas, more than 12,800 people are in the hospital because of Covid-19, and between 93 and 98 percent of them are unvaccinated.
It’s tempting to blame this wave not on the virus but on the people who didn’t get their shots. “This has been bubbling up—this anger, this frustration, this fear, this worry. Every day, we’re seeing the ascent of the curve. Now it’s the steepest it’s ever been,” Fine says. “So I and the other leaders of the task force, we decided, you know, these numbers are not looking good. These questions are coming up."
It certainly seems that way, but why? Whats the end goal of culling mainly the poor or those with poor access to healthcare?
You see that map of death penalties by state here on hexbear today? You see Texas on that map? I don't know exactly what the reason is, but it's the same for both of these things.
Texas just likes killing.

Death penalties are about punishing the poor and non-white who step out of line, to be an example. It's a fear tactic.
Letting poor people die from lack of treatment just creates disconnection and reduces trust in the healthcare systems.
Is the point maybe to revamp the healthcare system in an even more privatized way? Is that even possible?
I agree with you this is what's happening, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of why.
