Oh I forgot to mention that the Black community often has access to inferior lower credentialed Physicians who often do no research and have little to no insight or guidance on vaccine allergies or potential complications.
If that’s true, no black person would ever have any vaccine.
Singling out black people, rather than implementing measures to improve vaccination among all groups, would be racist. Please don't tell me we need another civil rights movement (oh wait, we already do. With all the voter suppression laws being put out).
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.
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.
I found this stat regarding demographics in the state of NY re vaccination:
State data shows of the New York residents who have received the vaccination, 70.8% are white, and only 12.6% are Black, the lowest vaccination rate of any demographic in the state.
This goes back to a previous thread. What % of NY residents are black? What % are white? What % does your source list for Asian?
While the vaccination rate in the US reaches 70%, African American people are among the lowest vaccinated group at 25%. Even third-world nations have a higher percentage rate than that.
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.
