Black people have very good reason to distrust the medical establishment. Vaccine passports do mean excluding a larger share of black and brown people.

Plus, they don’t consider natural immunity which is as durable as vaccine induced immunity.

“The good news is that the evidence thus far predicts that infection with SARS-CoV-2 induces long-term immunity in most individuals. This provides a welcome positive note as we wait for further data on memory responses to vaccination.”

NP here. That first article is no longer relevant. Speaking for DC specifically - there have been walk in vaccine appointments at Walmart, schools, and other community locations for a long time now. The gap vaccination rates between black and white DC residents is now under 10% and closing. Vaccination rates are HIGHER for the Latino population than non-Latino population. There have been public outreach campaigns on safety and efficacy to counteract the very reasonable generational trauma many black people have with the medical establishment. Bowser has done many things wrong over the last year, but DC Health is doing a very good job at education and access, so no vaccine passports do not disproportionately exclude black and brown people.[/quote]

Yes, the gap is less wide than it once was, but still present.

“Overall, across these 40 states, the percent of White people who have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose (45%) was roughly 1.4 times higher than the rate for Black people (32%) and 1.2 times higher than the rate for Hispanic people (36%) as of June 14, 2021. White people had a higher vaccination rate compared to Hispanic people in all reporting states, except Virginia, Vermont, Missouri, and Tennessee, and a higher rate than Black people in every reporting state, except Oregon, Alaska, and Idaho. However, the size of these differences varied widely across states. For example, White people were over twice as likely to have received a vaccine as Hispanic people in Colorado and South Dakota and had at least a two times higher vaccination rate than Black people in Florida, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and South Dakota”[/quote]
