How many people go to a doctor to get the jab? not many is my guess.

If that’s true, no black person would ever have any vaccine.

I think the larger question is how do you improve the vaccination rate in groups who don’t want it? Blacks happen to have a high opt out rate.

The answer is, you don’t. You respect their decision and leave them alone.

Bingo. We Blacks better never listen to any liberals who say “you need to comply or else.”

When liberals are now threatening blacks, you know they’re in the wrong.

Not sure I like the term "make them." What if the don't want to? I am not jabbed, and plan to remain so.

An increasing number of black people (and humans in general) are listening to Candace Owen's advice when it comes to vaccines. I recommend following her on Twitter.

This goes back to a previous thread. What % of NY residents are black? What % are white? What % does your source list for Asian?

Yep. "70.8% are white, and only 12.6% are Black" would be shocking if there were equal amounts of blacks and whites in NY. But that is not the case.

But white people are 70.4% of the population. Blacks 17.3%.

https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov...mographic-data

Taken another way. About 4 million people in NY state have not gotten the vaccine.

2.8 million are white
680k are black

Since this is America, we can always expect the race / racism card to be thrown down, and this post is just another in countless examples.

How will the government gain black people's trust to go and vaccinate themselves? Especially when black people and vaccination have a dark history in the US. Most of the older folks, the parents and grandparents of this generation still remember the Tuskegee experiment which is "arguably the most infamous biomedical research study in U.S. history".

How to possibly gain black people's trust to vaccinate after such a nefarious human experiment? How could they 'trust science'?

The last time the Democrats got black people to comply - chains, ships and whippings were involved.


Horrible racist party, the Democrats.
