“The prez of the United States should know the difference between a distinguished and historical military unit and the name of the study that black people cite as the source of their suspicion about medical advice from government’
Biden’s statement is also incredibly stupid, because if blacks are afraid to take a vaccine because they heard about the Tuskegee syphilis study, WHY WOULD HE WANT TO CONTINUE TO REMIND PEOPLE ABOUT THE STUDY. It ended 50 years ago. He is reinforcing their distrust of the government and medicine and causing more people to refuse the vaccine. But he’ s an idiot so what should we expect
Yeah, and if he wanted to allay their concerns, he would have to point out that a lot of white people are taking the vax, so black people have nothing to fear.
But then he would be insinuating they are stupid compared to whites.
He’s in a bind.
On a related note, I wish someone would do man-in-the-street interviews of blacks and ask them what their issue with the vax is. I have the sneaking suspicion they would have some intelligent, well-thought out answers and it is not they who are the stupid ones on this issue.
