I live in suburban Philly, a group of Black doctors set up places to get the vaccine and begged people to come to the site, very few showed up even after the doctors assured them the shots were safe and necessary. They were offered free transportation, child care, whatever was needed for them to come in for the shot but very few takers for reasons I don't understand? | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: 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. |
