Don't hold your breath waiting to the media to start trashing how fucking stupid these people are, but you know then think it, they just don't say it.
Some interesting news at the NY Times today about the vaccine hesitant in New York City. It turns out that months after the big vaccine push only 28% of the city’s younger black residents (ages 18-44) are vaccinated. Why so low? According to the people the Times’ spoke to, there are several different reasons but all of them have to do with deep suspicion about what the government is doing.
“It reaffirmed my hesitance, it reaffirmed everything,” Ms. Shavuo-Goodwin, the graduate student and clinic manager, said. “It just shows Black lives don’t matter. You can test that on us just like you tested syphilis on us.”
This fear was echoed in interview after interview, from the Bronx to South Brooklyn, as many Black New Yorkers said the Johnson & Johnson suspension left them more anxious that the vaccines were unsafe, insufficiently tested and steered to Black neighborhoods. That fear has been slow to dissipate, even as much of the rest of the country got vaccinated.
“They’re experimenting on us,” said Knya White, 21, of Canarsie, Brooklyn, a predominantly Black neighborhood.
