Black Americans are nearly HALF as likely to get a Covid vaccine than whites

Daily Mail  

Black Americans are more likely to distrust the medical community compared to white Americans, a new survey suggests. While the U.S. seen higher rates of vaccination among communities of color in recent weeks, researchers say more work is needed to protect black Americans and other minorities in the U.S. against COVID-19 Black survey respondents were about half as likely to say they'd get a COVID vaccine compared to white respondents and other minorities also had lower rates of vaccine confidence, according to a new survey Meanwhile white Americans were 1.5 times more likely to trust the medical community. When asked if they would get a COVID vaccine, only 28 percent of black survey respondents said 'definitely or probably yes' - compared to 57 percent of white respondents. Unwillingness to get a vaccine, for many black Americans, may be tied to mistrust in the medical community When discussing black distrust in the medical community, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study often comes to mind. For example, a recent survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that only 13 percent of black Americans said they would 'definitely not' get a COVID vaccine.
