[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no real issue of racism in the equity of vaccine distribution in dc. The broader issue is whether the black community is open to actually taking the vaccine. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/04/health/vaccine-trust-black-adults-nfid-survey/index.html[/quote] To assess the equity issue, you would have to look at vaccine hesitation across racial groups. The source cited in the CNN study only polled Black people, but Pew reported earlier this month that 61% of Black adults have already received or plan to receive the vaccine, compared with 69% of white adults. That gap is not sufficient to explain CNN's finding that "vaccine coverage is twice as high among White people on average than it is among Black and Hispanic people." https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2021/03/05/growing-share-of-americans-say-they-plan-to-get-a-covid-19-vaccine-or-already-have/[/quote]
