  2. Health disparities??? Who is doing this? Give us names? You're full of crap lady. Until Hispanics in NYC step up and take care of themselves like all other groups do, then you will pay in lives lost. Your choice. You're pretty much talking about your far-left America hating New York city mayor and governor, who are the POS's who brought so much death on to everyone, but you're too much of a coward and far-left zealot to say their names or you won't cause they are Democrat. If you did name them, NBC would never have aired it. Why don't you try being an American first, then a Latina. Being a Latina doesn't change anything, except to maybe your racist patients. Diversity in medicine??? Total BS. Diversity in thought, like employing a conservative latina, who isn't into racial blaming and victim mold is much more important.

  3. Vote for President Trump to serve a second term. Do NOT EVER EVER trust Biden who has Dementia and Kamala Harris who flip flops from one issue to another. Don't believe the DEMORATS who desperately want your Vote and will lie and promise anything to get your vote. Save this Country from the Extreme far left and ANTIFA. #Trump2020 #KAGA2020👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  4. Our don’t want to take responsibility commander and chief has allowed more than 200,000 plus deaths to occur on his watch this is equivalent to these cities population:

    Rank City, State 2010 population
    101 Rochester; New York 210,565

  7. Covid-19 is an AMAZING virus. Key features: – cured influenza, measles, heart disease, cancers and most other diseases and "abolished" death from "natural" causes’… – It’s a smart virus. Highly virulent in parks, gyms, churches and schools, all restaurants (especially those who sell alcohol and on beaches…-Has no effect on the thousands of employees who work at Walmart, Publix, Winn Dixie, Lowes, Home Depot etc…….The virus seems to target mostly mom and pop businesses, nail salons and barbershops, who always have much fewer customers walk through their doors… – Construction, supermarkets and lawn care workers, etc.. have a natural immunity, but would "obviously" still need to be vaccinated… – Also, police in uniforms hold the cure for the virus… no social distancing needed, not even masks are needed, as long as you wear a police uniform your immune to it. It doesn’t affect children, except for a few who got it… same with animals… – also, imposing mandatory cloth masks to prevent too much oxygen to people’s brains, and spraying beaches and streets with bleach, as well as spraying chemical airborne disinfectants from airplanes, over densely populated areas have been known to do miracles for people’s lungs affected by this strange virus… – We would need millions of ventilators… unless we suddenly won’t need any ventilators… We need to commandeer all private hospitals to keep them open solely for the avalanche of virus victims, and the avalanche of TikTok videos by overworked hero doctors and nurses… – categorized as an ‘invisible enemy’, one that can never be definitively beaten and always lurking in the shadows, much like the war on terror… – It loves New York too – a really Cosmopolitan virus… – there is an actual celebrity strain, a highly deadly strain of the virus… – Even more amazing, in Sweden you can hug your grandkids, yet the UK strain forbids that.

    In India alone, the killer virus managed to lock 1.3 billion people in their homes indefinitely, after decimating 1000 of them, within just a few short months… – Every loss of life from this virus is tragic… however, pushing 150-500 million people into STARVATION worldwide is a "necessary" price to pay… – Experts have pointed out that this seasonal virus could easily be defeated by forever abolishing families, individual privacy, untraceable cash money, and all small independent farms and businesses… – We all may have it by now (you know deep down we do), yet although asymptomatic, we can still infect people and test negative… or test positive… and our antibodies may, or may not give immunity… – Only a heavily government funded, speed train rushed-tested and "MANDATORY" vaccine (with a trace micro chip) can save us, by injecting it in 7 billion people, every year, for a constantly mutating virus ,the particular strain of which has long been history… – Also, be careful not to spread fake news or dangerous misinformation online about this virus… make sure you leave that to the professionals over at CNN, BBC, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, Sky News and the rest of the reliable mainstream media journalists around the world.” Covid 19 is so amazing that Walmart Supercenters only has 1 entrance and 1 exit. Whats even more amazing is that their self check out registers (which is all they have now) are in full operation even tho their not 6 feet apart. Amazing

  8. Only for blind people. The rest of us have known for years.

  9. Does her being latina add anything to this story?

  10. NBC IS RASICT ! TF YOU MEAN LATINA DOCTOR . THERE IS NO ETHNICITY IN BEING A DOCTOR

  11. Typical MSNBC RACE BAITERS! The biggest dividers in America-I hope people see through how you folks consistently twist the news to fit your EXTREME LEFT WING agenda.

  12. I clicked on the video to dislike the forced propaganda you don't have the choice of removing, it seems to me an large portion on of population has been groomed, dumbed down and brainwashed by the talking heads and the oligarchs that control and orchestrate them. These people will literally do back flips and degrade themselves non-stop for their masters kinda funny imo

  13. NBC = OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD

  14. It id tremendous thathe is a latina doctor. So much better communication is needed between patients and docs. Also the feeling of being more at home with anothet latino is very important for support. She is a very humble and generous, plus intelligent proffessional. Need more like her out there.

  15. General strike to end inequality.

  16. "…Military set up"

  17. I NEVER BELIEVE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

  18. I NEVER BELIEVE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

  19. The pandemic was over in June.

  20. Lol Guys its Hispanic Heritage Month. Relax. They weren't being shady, or racist. Chill.

  21. Precious BS ……. minorities are not adept at COMPLIANCE.

  22. Biden is NOT for Health care for all

  23. I'm Hispanic and wonder why a credible news person would find it necessary to label the ER doctor "Latina". It's racist.

  24. Almost like what we choose to eat and how much we choose to exercise impact our health "equity". (Obviously not talking about the homeless).

  25. I basically thought that it was a scam until I decided to give it a try with just a little start up of $10,000 and I got $90,000 on weekly basics it so amazing everything worked out, via @charles_forex09 on investment plan
