i can agree with that. however, majority of black people recently said that they would take a vaccine. so its not a black problem, just as many if not more white people are anti-vax
Where’d you hear that?
Black people don't distrust the vaccine at any higher rate than other groups. What's the excuse for the 44% of republicans that say they won't get it?
Does the poll ur referencing make the distinction of non black Republicans and black people or what
In the article I linked, it has 40% of black people saying they would take it compare to 60% white and Hispanics saying they would take it

Where did you get this statistic from
Rampant racism ITT
Haven't even read the thread but I know it's, "good spirited anti-racists" being condescending to only black celebs because they're wrong about certain topics, time
You mean in other words idiots?
Yes
Trusting vaccines doesn’t make you smart.
Y’all see how the education system is setup in America and question why people are uninformed about vaccinations lol
Trump was COOKING with those vote numbers in both elections. Education system in the mud
The comparison between the Tuskegee experiments and vaccines is that the black people were used as test subjects and were allowed to go home with documented syphilis. If it happened in the past, why could it not happen now? That wasn't even too long ago, it was ongoing even after the Civil rights era. If you want to call black people anti-intellectual for being cautious about this s***... go ahead, but don't pretend to support these guys lol. I'm not anti vax btw, I just find it funny when people think being anti-vax is the worst s*** ever when it's justified
understandable, but there are literally
elderly people being given the vaccine, right now, of all colors. you can go right now and take it as a trial run, as many folks have already. there have been many non-black people that have taken the vaccine. the study experiments targeted a HBC. the Pfizer trials have been conducted in multiple sites.
if folks don't wanna take the vaccine, that's fine. but they better stay home and mask up.
Oh, yeah. Understandable for the COVID-19 vaccine, meant vaccines in general. There will always be skeptical people.
It's not even just Tuskegee lol black people's mistrust of doctors and medicine goes back to slavery because of all the wild and inhumane s*** they were doing to us.
Like the actual audacity of people to try and imply we're being too paranoid. As if doctors to this day aren't still f***ing over black people IE: black women leading in deaths during childbirth.
Exactly, add in medicial racism in there with poor treatment of black people with concerns of medicine. The fear and distrust is very real
