You would think. I have heard nothing but complaints about who is going to be the first to be offered the vaccine, and now, they want to make a big deal of one of the groups maybe not be interested in being among the first or at all.
At the beginning of this thing, there were some black celebrities on TV talking about how there was a rumor in the black community, that black people can't get COVID, so they weren't taking the precautions as seriously as they should. Being that my hospital, in a white neighborhood, was filled with mostly black people on ventilators, I was floored by this.
And now, THIS?
People believe some crazy stuff that is really not in their best interest. It's like the Jehovah's Witness patients I have that sign a paper saying they will not accept blood, even in a life or death situation. It baffles my mind.
In truth, about half of them wait for the family to leave, and then tell me that they are willing to accept the blood if they are going to die without it.
Don't want it? Don't take it. But don't ***** about how hard the virus is hitting your community.
Thank you I am tired of people whining, you don’t want don’t get it, but if you die of covid ..remember you had a chance to get the vaccine..blame no one but yourself.
Human guinea pigs? You bet! They have put them in a similar category with prisoners. Even with the elderly, I do wonder how many of them will have a bad reaction, of course, it won't be the vaccine that caused it like COVID 19 caused the deaths, they'll say it was something else.
Between the two trials almost 80,000 people have already been guinea pigs. If someone has a "bad reaction" it will be investigated. To date the very few "bad reactions" have been allergic in origin, which can happen with any medication or vaccine, and all of the people who had them have recovered and are fine. You can forget the conspiracy theory. There will be no effort to conceal adverse reactions.

You really don't know what Biden and AOC were actually injected with do you? I didn't think so. Yeah, maybe look at the ingredients in the vaccine, not the kind of stuff we carry in our bodies on a daily basis. https://www.fda.gov/media/144414/download
More conspiracy theory.
There is nothing dangerous in the vaccine, barring severe allergy to one of the ingredients.

Oh, there is "testing" going on and will be for several years, while they study the side effects. I am actually a little suspicious of the populations that were more affected, since viruses can be tailored to certain demographics of people.
Vaccines are continuously monitored for adverse effects, if you want to call that "testing".
Please name one virus that "can be tailored to certain demographics of people". Hint: SARS-CoV-2 is not.

I would think those that are not of color would be thrilled to know that like so many of you, these people are also smart enough to want to sit back and watch what happens to those that step forward to be injected with a vaccine for "emergency use". More for the human guinea pigs that trust the corrupted FDA and CDC. Live (maybe) and learn!
The problem is that if too many "sit back and watch" the epidemic rumbles on and mitigation continues. Is that what you want?

Amen! Many look to the church for guidance, but I know that idea is very offensive. Geesh, with Bill Gates talking eugenics and his involvement with vaccines, it is worth a long look!
I would hope that the churches would base advice to members on science.
Bill Gates has never talked eugenics. He has discussed ways to limit population growth. That is not eugenics. His "involvement with vaccines" consists in spending an enormous amount of money getting vaccines to people who need them. He has spent a lot toward facilitating COVID-19 vaccines and treatment.

I don't even see why anyone sees this as an issue. First some of the people are whining that other groups are being prioritized over them, and then a group says "take it, we don't want it" and now they are complaining about that.

There are those of us who would hate to see people get sick and maybe die because of misinformation and fear about the COVID-19 vaccines.

Hesitancy in the black community to participate in medical research has its roots in inequities in past research, largely conducted by white researchers. It is understandable but regrettable.
About 18% of the Pfizer trial participants were black, about 10% of the Moderna.

the push to get blacks vaccinated before other races backfired in this case. stop making everything about race and let people who want to decline the vaccination right now do so and make way for others who want it asap (even if they happen to be white or asian). Eventually, if this vaccine proves super effective, it might be a requirement for certain jobs for to attend certain events. Those who still want to decline can do so. If the vaccine doesn't work on the new strain and any future mutations of covid, we just have to live with the virus and it's risks.

Good to see these pastors being smart and watching out for their flocks. These so-called "experts" and the government certainly is not going to.
Tuskeegee is a hard thing to forget.
