The mob shouted about “Nazi passports” and “Let Kyrie play,” and waved signs and “Don’t Tread on Me” flags as they gathered outside the arena.

Footage posted on Twitter shows hundreds of protesters descending on the Brooklyn arena earlier in the day.

“Mob of anti-vaxxers”

I grew up with the media saying “Anti-Abortion” and it was not a term of endearment.

The revelations of mistreatment under the U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study at Tuskegee are believed to have significantly damaged the trust of the black community toward public health efforts in the United States.[45][46]

Observers believe that the abuses of the study may have contributed to the reluctance of many poor black people to seek routine preventive care ....

Some African Americans have been hesitant to get vaccinated against COVID-19 due to the Tuskegee experiments.
