the vaccine was not rushed

they built on existing data we had from the SARS outbreak in 02, since they are in the same family

We talking about vaccines for a GLOBAL pandemic.

Yeah, the "get it asap" people + the "wait and see" people. Basically everyone that's at least willing to get it voluntarily at some point.

The only people I really have an issue with are the "definitely not get it" ones and they seem at be pretty consistent across race, at least according to this poll

mainstream media talks about racial disparities in health. i've seen it talked about on npr and cnn

Because this is a global pandemic and the racism issues in America don't change that as the vaccine is also being researched and seeking approval in countries with black populations.

yall not gonna take the vaccine but i bet you wouldnt hesitate to take a shot that made your d*** bigger

Bruh...I guarantee you way more people are going to take the vaccine than those who aren't. We're just going to have people not taking it as soon as it's available as they're in the "wait and see" crowd. That wait and see period for most people is probably going to be 3-6 weeks.

You can check all these numbers and they far outweigh those who are straight up not taking it and/or only taking it if their work requires them to do so.

The way I see it, the overwhelming majority is taking the vaccination in general. The s*** is getting eradicated. If it doesn't get eradicated I guarantee that'll be more as a result of the vaccination straight up failing more than it would be a small minority of people in comparison not taking it.

cowards

yo africa ain’t even getting a vaccine til 2022-23

in all honesty, those of us who aren’t in healthcare or are at risk won’t get the vaccine for another good bit, i think the skepticism will die down a bit

Stupid ass post and username.

being high risk >>>>

you cant dictate someones elses feelings, but you can tell them when they're wrong or not

ok smol pp

Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment

we still need to get to the 80% threshold to fully eradicate the disease.

the polls are around 60% now for people willing to take it. not enough

Medical racism doesn’t necessarily pertain to the medicine itself, but how the doctors utilize it. Look into the death rate of black woman in labour compare to white. It’s the same medicine, but the doctors treat black woman differently (which leads to their deaths).

i hope so

peoples lives depend on it

I'd like someone to explain to me how a COVID vaccine could potentially target people of color

And don't try to just site the disparities in quality of healthcare between white and black and brown people because I'm very aware of that and it's a f***ing travesty

Emphasis on the word GLOBAL. Take your meds nigga.

that’s tap dancing on broken glass, in a racial context, telling someone they’re overreacting to something so serious is not the role of anybody not belonging to that group

hesitation to take a vax due to the Tuskegee experiment is understandable but black people aren’t the only group thats taking it

what's a little syphalis, my last gf had that
