Vaccines and Black Folks

 As a Black Activist for over 5 decades in America , I will always speak truth to power regardless of race or politics 


Regarding Black Americans and Covid -19 vaccines here and now in America

The overwhelming majority of Black Americans are not reluctant to take these vaccines 

The media especially continues to send this racist messaging based solely on polls and racial assumptions 

This destructive narrative insults the basic intelligence of Black Americans and our instinctive capacity to recognise the reality of lethal infections like Covid -19

This is America 2020 not America during the years of the Tuskegee Experiment on Black Americans 

The fact remains Black Americans know that the worse adverse effects of a vaccine is not death yet death comes with lethal adverse infections of the Covid virus 

Now is the time to demand by any and all means necessary the equitable distribution of these vaccines to Covid’s most vulnerable communities clearly Black America is one of these communities
