while Black Biden supporters who refuse to get vaccinated do so because of white racism.

Among adults under 40, Black people who earned lower incomes, attained less education, were uninsured and lived outside of metropolitan areas had the lowest vaccination rates and were less likely to plan on getting vaccinated, the report found.

Physicians and public health experts said views on the trustworthiness of the medical system are hugely influential in Black people’s decision-making on the coronavirus vaccine. Historic and ongoing discrimination related to the health-care system — including doctors who are less likely to acknowledge Black people’s pain, the maternal mortality crisis facing Black mothers and the quality of hospitals that care for Black people — sows doubt about the vaccine.

“The discrimination people of color face in our health system, there’s a connection between the level of trust in getting the vaccine,” said Laurie Zephyrin, vice president of health system equity at the Commonwealth Fund, which advocates for better access and improved quality in the health system, particularly for people of color and low-income people.
