Apparently, if this piece of trash is not allowed to put his grubby fingers on the scale based on race, then things are "biased".
The simplest way of increasing fairness would be to adjust scores by using so-called weights. In this way, disadvantaged populations would not be penalized for factors beyond their control, and would have a fairer chance at receiving a ventilator. We already gather the information needed to assign these weights (race, ethnic group, income, insurance status) when patients’ data are first recorded.
An alternative approach might assign weights based on something like the Area Deprivation Index that requires only ZIP code data, typically tracks race, and avoids many of the legal complications that can be raised.
Also note how he calls the black woman "Rosa", just so he can say at the end:
Three patients are waiting to be admitted to an intensive care unit that has one remaining bed. All have equally severe Covid-19 symptoms. John is an otherwise healthy, white 40-year-old man. Rosa is a 45-year-old African-American woman with underlying health issues. Linda is a white 56-year-old woman with Down syndrome. Who should be admitted? (...)
The “saving most lives” model would admit John. He is likely to spend the least time in the intensive care unit, allowing more patients to be put on the ventilator. And since his life expectancy is the greatest, the time he spends on the ventilator enables him to live longer than Linda or Rosa. (...)
Adding fairness weights can avoid exacerbating these divisions now and in the future. Imagine yourself in the position of a clinician (or hospital press officer), needing to explain why counting up the points meant that Rosa has to be moved off a ventilator, so that John can be admitted.
The standard method for rationing ventilators recognizes that racial and other discrimination is not acceptable. Yet, it needs to be modified. We should not have to wait for another black person to refuse to vacate a place they have every reason to be in.
An absolute piece of shit and murderer no less than Adolf Eichmann. Just because you are not pulling the trigger yourself, does not mean that you are not a murderer.

Would they really take someone off a ventilator to give it to someone else? That sounds a little bullshit to me. Makes me think that's what he thinks would happen, because he would take John off the ventilator to give it to Rosa.
White Genocide is real. If things aren't so biased in the favour of the genociders that they are guaranteed success at your expense, they will cry "bias" to exploit you.
It's so easy to forget that a lefty's idea of justice is a communist mob genociding Christians en masse. Wait a minute, no it isn't. The left has never ceased its war on Christmas and all the good it represents. They won't stop unless they're evicted from the first world.

Unless Rosa was confirmed terminal, no. And even then, pulling her off would be extremely unlikely.
