Curious, is there evidence that COVID is worse based on skin pigment? Probably not.

Down here, there were a disproportionate number of blacks dying. That can be explained by:

1. More blacks in urban centers. Higher population density.
2. Higher BMI's than caucasians as a general rule.
3. Less numbers vaccinated.

None of that has to do with mortality being worse in equally healthy individuals.

So it's just an effort to level out the statistics so no one feels bad.

I think there could be a bit more to it than that. There are still conflicting reports on the effect of Vitamin D deficiency, and with as much as this disease effects your vascular system, the higher prevalence of diabetes definitely has an effect.
