Lead NIH coronavirus researcher suggested pandemic could be 'genocide', said
doctors would let blacks die
EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, who is described by the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) as the "lead" member of the U.S. government team
racing to find a coronavirus vaccine, has engaged with online theories
calling the pandemic a black "genocide" and condemned what she called "
systematic oppression" by white people, a review of her social media posts
by "Tucker Carlson Tonight" reveals.
Corbett has also reposted a tweet urging Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and Dr.
Jerome Adams, the surgeon general, to "check" their "privilege."
Late Friday, a senior Health and Human Services (HHS) official told Fox News
the inquiry is being taken “very seriously,” as making unprofessional
social media posts about sensitive government work can violate federal
ethical guidelines.
Corbett, 34, is an immunologist with the Vaccine Research Center, a division
of NIAID. In her social media posts, first reported Friday by "Tucker
Carlson Tonight," Corbett adopts a strikingly casual and conspiratorial tone
. Her Twitter biography reads: "Virology. Vaccinology. Vagina-ology. Vino-
ology. My tweets are my own. My science is the world’s."
On March 29, Corbett tweeted out a Bloomberg article about how the poor are
dying at higher rates from coronavirus. In her tweet, she said that doctors
would deliberately choose to deny ventilators to black Americans, leaving
them to die instead.
"I tweet for the people who will die when doctors has [sic] to choose who
gets the last ventilator and ultimately... who lives," Corbett wrote. "The
poor. And, while the article doesn’t explicitly say it... the black."

Someone replied to Corbett on April 9: “It’s so scary to think about. I
know when it comes down to it people will be turned away or left to die
because they are black.” Corbett replied that same day: “Yep. Both.”
Another user declared, “They hate us. This virus is a sure fire way to get
rid of us without having to lift a finger.” Corbett replied: “Some have
gone as far to call it genocide. I plead the fifth.”
On April 11, Corbett implied black people are "doomed."
"I am praying that policies reflect this is [sic] multiple ways," she wrote,
referring to addressing systemic racism. "They must or we will be doomed in
the next pandemic(s) too."
Adams, the surgeon general, told a press conference last week that black
Americans suffer more from obesity, diabetes, and other ailments that
increase the risk of death from coronavirus.
Some have gone as far to call it genocide. I plead the fifth.
After Adams recommended that black Americans avoid cigarettes and alcohol to
project their health during the epidemic, Corbett retweeted another user’s
thread saying the suggestion was “offensive because they ignore systemic
racism.” That thread ended by saying, “Dr. Fauci and Dr. Adams, check your
privilege. Think critically. Stop spreading harmful fallacies that support
white supremacy.”
Corbett herself commented, “Pasting this thread here because it’s
appropriately put. Black people are not dying more because of their
behaviors. That is just a cop out to adjust accountability.”

And, in a Twitter argument last week, Corbett said that “Merit [is] defined
by prejudices.” Another user responded, “So can we just dismiss anything
white men are involved in because they’re intrinsically malevolent?”
Corbett’s response: “White men are not be dismissed. But the systems that
they (ancestor or current) curated are.”
When the poster asked Corbett if she was advancing an "immoral" notion, she
replied: "No. Not at all. Nothing is immoral about dismantling systematic
oppression."
Replying to @KizzyPhD
So we can just dismiss anything white men are involved in because they’re
intrinsically malevolent? Come on, now.
No absolutely not. White men are not to be dismissed, but the systems that
they (ancestors or current) curated are.

In the meantime, some of Corbett's other posts suggested that she was
enjoying her role to an unusual degree.
"What's better than bomb data emailed (at 5:30 pm) by team members fully
graphed in beautiful color schemes and clear labeling???" she wrote on
Thursday. "I'll wait..."
On March 20, she wrote: "Last yr, I took *17* trips (weekends domestically &
other); this year, I have cancelled bucket list vacations (Netherlands,
Spain, Jamaica, Greece). This the reason 'millennials' should be fighting
for research funding for future pandemics... We deserve to be in dese
streetz!"
On March 19, Corbett seemingly attempted to explain her tone on Twitter. "I
decided to take matters into my own hands when I saw the people being left
out of the direction and the press and the... you get the point," she wrote.
"So... here I am 'COVID-19,' but make it fashion.”
NIH’s lead scientist for coronavirus vaccine research Kizzmekia Corbett
lays out the government’s race to create a vaccine, saying they could be on
track to have a vaccine from sequence to the general population within 8
months. https://cnn.it/34DnXnV
3,039 people are talking about this
In an interview earlier this month with CNN, which called Corbett "NIH's
lead scientists for coronavirus vaccine research," Corbett told Anderson
Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta that "several of our previous projects" --
including MERS and SARS research -- informed the government's ongoing
coronavirus vaccine research.
In general terms, Corbett told the hosts that a specific protein would play
a key role in the vaccine efforts. She also said that vaccine "rapid
response" had improved in recent years, in part because "we've researched
coronavirus vaccine development for the last 7 years, particularly under my
direction, the team has researched this coronavirus development for 5 years."
Various other media outlets -- including The New York Times and Fox News --
have previously covered Corbett's role as the lead coronavirus researcher.
Fox News reported earlier this week that Corbett has long been called a
superstar scientist. She got a full scholarship to the University of
Maryland, Baltimore County, where she majored in biology and sociology.
She received a doctorate from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
in 2014 and joined the NIH’s Vaccine Research Center as a postdoctoral
fellow the same year. | f****e
