Multiple political commentators and influential figures expressed concern after Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro revealed his findings on diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion (DEI) at work in medicine. In a thread posted to X on Monday‚ Shapiro dove into how some medical schools and doctors have pushed DEI in an effort to recruit more minority surgeons and stop hiring so many “walls of white men‚” especially after the death of George Floyd and the ensuing riots in the summer of 2020. The Daily Wire editor emeritus said that his findings even show how some “top hospitals are abandoning key metrics when hiring surgeons.” “It’s bad enough when teachers or government bureaucrats talk like this‚ but valuing intersectionality over merit can literally mean life or death in surgery‚” Shapiro said. The thread has been viewed over three million times and was quickly reposted by over a thousand people‚ including billionaire Tesla and X owner Elon Musk‚ conservative broadcaster and news analyst Mark Levin‚ and former ESPN anchor Sage Steele. “DEI puts the lives of your loved ones at risk‚” said Musk. DEI puts the lives of your loved ones at risk https://t.co/dV6l3MCOPd — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 26‚ 2024 Steele — who sued ESPN alleging the network retaliated against her for making negative comments about the COVID vaccine — added‚ “The last sentence in the final tweet of this must-read thread should scare all of us: ‘Medical error is the third leading cause of death in the US’ … yet these universities &; hospitals are more concerned about DEI than hiring the most qualified person for the job??!!” “MUST READ — the destruction of our medical system by the Democrat bigots and racists is underway‚” Levin wrote. Dave Rubin said he wasn’t surprised by the revelations in Shapiro’s thread‚ even though it should shock people. “I’d say this thread is insane‚ but it’s actually obvious‚” he wrote. “DEI will lead many people to DIE. Some intentionally …” Shapiro began his thread by discussing Kychelle Del Rosario‚ a Wake Forest medical student who is getting ready to graduate from the school and potentially start a career in the medical field. Del Rosario made headlines in 2022 after she injured a patient who laughed at her “She/Her” pronoun pin. The Wake Forest medical student posted about her actions on social media‚ seemingly joking about missing the vein of the patient who made fun of her pin. Del Rosario was defended by fellow Wake Forest medical student Ewen Liu who said the jab was an accident‚ but it “seemed ‘karma-tic.’” Shapiro said that he has learned Liu was recently hired by UPenn Health where she focuses on “substance use disorder‚ LGBTQ+ health‚ community medicine.” “Both UPenn and Liu’s medical school‚ Wake Forest‚ have attempted to hide Liu’s hiring‚” Shapiro wrote. “Wake Forest didn’t list Liu’s hospital in graduation materials‚ and UPenn doesn’t list Liu’s medical school on its website.” Later in the thread‚ Shapiro shows video of award-winning Duke surgical resident Vignesh Raman discussing his goal to reduce the number of white men in surgery after the events surrounding George Floyd’s death “collectively galvanized the consciousness of Duke University and certainly our department to try to do something‚ and recognizing there’s like centuries-long history of racism and slavery in which Duke University essentially was founded [on].” 6/ Raman adds that post-George Floyd‚ Duke made a concerted effort to stop hiring so many “walls of white men.” He says the team is now "abandoning … all sort[s] of metrics" and adopting a "completely holistic" application practice in order to recruit more women and non-white… pic.twitter.com/Jxo93giLoQ — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 26‚ 2024 Raman goes on to say that he and his team are “abandoning … all sort[s] of metrics” and adopting “completely holistic” application practices so Duke can bring on more women and “non-white” surgeons‚ Shapiro said. “Raman also tweeted that he won’t ‘amplify’ medical literature involving only white men – because it’s not as if white men have ever advanced medicine or anything‚” Shapiro added. “Vignesh Raman is just one example of a much larger trend. The American College of Surgeons‚ or ACS‚ recently gave its 88‚000 members a definition of ‘racism’ that implies it’s impossible to be racist against white people.” 8/ Vignesh Raman is just one example of a much larger trend.

Torres to a 2021 conference where she said‚ “[W]hen patients see physicians who look like them‚ they tend to do better.” Torres also said that surgeons are receiving grants and awards based on their minority status. At another 2021 DEI conference‚ this one at UPenn‚ a surgeon said it is “off putting” to see so many white men as surgeons. “The doctors also state that surgery needs something like the NFL’s Rooney Rule‚ which requires that teams interview minority candidates‚” Shapiro wrote. “But the doctors say surgery needs an expanded version that goes further and ensures that minority candidates are selected.” 10/ This is now the prevailing view in surgical medicine.

A young female Augusta University nursing student was murdered on her morning jog‚ and an illegal immigrant has been arrested in connection with the murder‚ but CNN insisted on downplaying any connection between illegal immigration and the murder. The body of Laken Riley‚ 22‚ was found last Thursday with indications of blunt force trauma. Jose Antonio Ibarra‚ 26‚ who hailed from Venezuela and illegal entered the U.S. in September 2022 but was paroled into the U.S.‚ has been named as a suspect in the murder. Last year the NYPD arrested Ibarra and he was “charged with acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.” But CNN’s Monday report stated‚ according to Fox News‚ “Ibarra’s status as an undocumented Venezuelan migrant is now being touted by several state and national GOP leaders to support their calls for tighter border security – though there is little evidence indicating a connection between immigration and crime.” On Saturday‚ Georgia GOP governor Brian Kemp fired off a letter to President Biden regarding Riley’s death. He wrote: Dear Mr. President: As I have stated many times in the past‚ your actions and those of your administration have resulted in every state in the country experiencing the disastrous impacts of an unsecured U.S. southern border. More than nine million illegal immigrants have crossed the border since you took office – additional‚ unknown number of migrants who were not detained and processed – while at least 58 people on the terror watchlist have been encountered between ports of entry this fiscal year alone. Moreover‚ nearly two thousand pounds of fentanyl and five thousand pounds of methamphetamines were seized at the border in just the month of January. In addition to the serious national security implications of this crisis‚ the increased burden on state and local resources is not only unsustainable‚ it also presents a clear and present danger to our citizens and communities. After noting the arrest of Ibarra‚ Kemp pointed out that he had joined 24 other governors last September in a letter to Biden requesting “accurate‚ detailed‚ thorough data and information” regarding all illegal border crossings‚ relocation efforts‚ and how asylum claims were being processed. Another letter from the governors outlined actions Biden could take to secure the southern border. “Frankly‚ Mr. President‚ your continued silence in response to these reasonable requests is outrageous‚” Kemp charged. “The American people deserve to know who is illegally entering our country due to your administration’s failures‚ and what risks and challenges every state must now face.” Kemp then listed a series of questions related specifically to Laken Riley’s murder. “These tragedies are not unique to Georgia‚” he declared. “While we will continue to support Texas with National Guard resources as we have since 2019‚ federal action to secure the border is the only way to holistically address this ongoing crisis and ensure Laken Riley’s horrible fate is not replicated across the country. However‚ if you continue to refuse to exercise your authority as president‚ your administration must provide the information necessary for Georgia and other states to protect our citizens.” Laken Riley's tragic death struck the hearts of Georgians everywhere and has sparked national outrage. Joe Biden's failed policies have turned every state into a border state‚ and I'm demanding information from him so we can protect our people when the federal government won’t! pic.twitter.com/wsD4H6BSr6 — Governor Brian P.
