Marty,
I don't necessarily draw the same conclusion. Did you read about the obstacles that need to be overcome in these communities? One of them being the hesitancy that stems from being medical guinea pigs in prior generations. Not sure what you mean by being one sided, actually the article addresses the fact that many of the actual beneficiaries of the vaccines being offered in these communities were not people of color. While there are lots and lots of people making poor choices regarding the vaccine in my opinion, I thought the article did a pretty good job of explaining the particular and peculiar challenges in the Philadelphia Black communities. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Daria: There is a article in today’s Washington Post which might prove both of our arguments. Dan Keating, writing about racial divide and COVID vaccinations reports that in Philadelphia federal figures show “higher percentages of Black residents having some of the lowest vaccination rates in the country” in spite of a very one sided effort to provide for that black population. He goes on to write that “data shows that while 52% of white people have received at least one dose of vaccine, just 34% black people have.” There is your answer. Not discrimination, poor choices.
