About 3 percent of Americans have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine so far.

from KFF. Half of them said they were concerned about getting Covid from the vaccine itself, which is not possible.. Inaccurate conspiracy theories that the vaccines contain government tracking chips have gained ground on social media.

“We shouldn’t make the assumption that just because someone works in health care that they somehow will have better information or better understanding,” Bell said. “To reach the people we really want to reach, we have to do things in a different way, we can’t just offer the vaccine,” said Dr., a senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer at Centura. “We have to go deeper and provide more depth to the resources and who is delivering the message.”

Nuyens, who identifies as Hispanic, has worked for Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center for 33 years. Working on the environmental services staff, he’s now cleaning Covid patients’ rooms. were nonwhite

Black people waaaaaay more likely to believe in that Dr. Sebi stuff and be anti-vaxx than whites as a whole. Caribbean community especially.

Fcuked up.

Everyonw need to show up to get vaccinated, from your other news stating minorities are hesitant to get one. Which is it?

“Siri: What’s a word for disappointed but not surprised?”

Los Angeles is still not getting any.

Maybe they're too lazy to go get it?

Another injustice

Nothing new here, unfortunately.

I know msnbc isn’t great with stats but is that because there are less black people overall?

I have aboutKP. Chaos. Online phone numbers are dead end phone trees. Your doctor can’t request an appointment. My doctor sent the link but all the online appointments were full. Notice said you can’t call for an appointment. Not everyone has a computer.

Whats new ,it is after all the good old USA

The vaccine is not intended for just white people! It’s meant to save lives by everyone who needs the vaccine receives it!

They are not only getting vaccines later, the system is also setup in such a way that they are 2.3 times more likely to die from COVID than white people.

Texas failing everyone.Pastie white chick here. Have been on waiting lists over a week every local location. Having to drive 35 miles to mass vaccine sites as local vaccines were diverted to mass vaccine sites. I am a 1B. Elderly can't drive 30+ warpspeed failure.Still waiting

The majority of vaccines have been given to front line/medical workers. It's not a good baseline for a breakdown of ethnic availability.

BULLSHIT! I know people who give the vaccination and COLOR is NOT a factor! PERIOD! IF the stats are true its B/C more whites live in the areas which would make the number higher. People need to stop making the most stressful time in our country worse by printing CRAP like this!

black community is less trusting in govt and there are more white people than black

How does this get fixed immediately?

Well I doubt this is a racist issue. Where I live, people of color are out all over the place with no masks on. They’re not taking it as serious. Let’s be fair now.

That's racist

That was Trump's plan. Give more vaccine to Rep Govs.

Per capita or overall? If overall, this is perfectly normal since blacks make up only like 18% of the population...

You could change the headline to 'rich residents' instead of white people and get a much higher dichotomy. Can we ever blame the real problem in access to public health? It's socioeconomics not racial. BlackLivesMatter but clickbait is clickbait.

If I’m being honest this is probably more likely given the history Black people have with doctor from gene theft all the way to things like the Tuskegee Experiment fear is the likely culprit out of all this. Discrimination might be playing a factor in terms of where

That’s because a lot of black people don’t trust the vaccine. I’m black as hell, I receive my 2nd shot on the 22nd. I’m a hospital worker.

Any idea what the are for people with disabilities?

Is someone taking tab on color! WTH! You people are always looking for trouble or accusing.

Because The Terrorist Donald Trump Prevented the vaccine from coming To the Black community

we are all part of the human race! there is no white race, black race, purple race! 😡

Not fair 😤

Perhaps these white people are more vulnerable!

Why do we keep failing?

I'm white and live in a low income minority complex. I just looked at the KY COVID vaccination list. I'm in 1C due to my age and health. Nothing about race was said or asked.

They’re *choosing* to not receive the vaccine as per your own report.

Who keeping score

Because blacks don't trust the vaccine that all the white libs have been shit talking.

thanks

FIX THIS PEOPLE!!!!

Are you surprised?

The most effective way to vaccinate people of color is to get the churches involved..

Get the vaccines to everyone please. We are AMERICANS for God’s sake. I pray that the powers that be take out RACE QUESTION out of every document, every application- EVERYTHING PERIOD. Many countries do not ask their citizens if they are black, white or yellow. Thank you.

Because Tuskegee.

That's because statically there are more white medical professionals than blacks. There has also been more talk of hesitancy towards the vaccine from black people. But keep keep trying to make it look like racial injustice.

'MS state Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said that the shift announced Tuesday by the Trump administration to reward states that distribute vaccines quickly with more shots makes the roll out a “Darwinian process.” I called it like Black Friday, but irony as it wasn't black.

WTF?!

新型コロナウイルス ▼Kaiser Health Newsの分析によると、人種ごとにデータを公開した16の州では、白人の居住者は黒人の居住者よりも大幅に高い割合で予防接種を受けています。多くの場合、2〜3倍高くなっています。 COVID19 SARSCoV2 …らしい
