Majority of people receiving COVID-19 vaccines are white, which Fauci calls 'disturbing'
The Hill ^ | 2/20/21 | JORDAN WILLIAMS

Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious diseases expert, said on Friday that racial disparities in COVID-19 vaccination are "very disturbing."

Fauci made the remark during an interview on MSNBC's "The ReidOut." He and host Joy Reid were discussing data that showed white populations were getting vaccinated at higher rates than communities of color.

"They're getting a double whammy against them. Not only do they have the propensity because of their jobs out in the community to get infected; they have the underlying conditions that make them more likely to get a serious outcome," Fauci said of the underserved populations. "The proportions that you showed are very disturbing."

While Fauci recognized a sense of "understandable vaccine hesitancy" among minority communities, he noted that it is important to actively expand vaccine access to those populations.

"We've got to really extend ourselves in the community to get the access to minority populations that they don't have," Fauci said, noting that President Biden has actively set up vaccination centers in areas heavily populated by minority communities.

Fauci also said he's been working to directly address vaccine hesitancy in communities of color.

"What we've been trying to do, and I take this very seriously, is extend yourself to the African American and Latino populations and explain to them that we totally respect why you're being hesitant," Fauci said. "But that history gets passed down, and you've go to say, look, we respect your concern, but these are the two or three reasons why you really need to get vaccinated, for your own health, for the health of your community and literally for the health of the entire nation."

Maybe Blacks don't trust White-developed vaccines.

It akes sense since the majority of people in the US are white. I wonder if Fauci thinks that’s disgusting, too.

The majority population of the USA is White. So, it stands to reason that this population would receive a majority of the vaccinations. If Fauxci finds this “disturbing” he can contribute to the lessening of the white population voluntarily. Just a suggestion.

This is pretty stupid. There are more whites in this country than other races so why should it surprise anyone that whites are getting the inoculation than other races.

Many blacks are turning it down. That is their choice but if they make the choice to not be inoculated then they do not get to yell about discrimination.

The other part of this is that it is weighted by age and education as well. Teachers, (educated professionals) are getting priority over non professional workers. We all make the choice about staying in school and going to college so this is an equal opportunity situation.

I do not even want to hear about there being no opportunity for minorities to go to college. With the state and federal grants in this country if you are low income then a 4 year degree is paid for by grants that do not have to be repaid if you have a high school education and are willing to do the work to earn the degree.

Blacks make up 12-15% of the population. Whites will always get a vast majority of vaccines in the US.

Without percentages this story is just gaslighting. If 14% of those who recieved the vaccine are african americans then that falls in line with the rest of the population.

What’s the problem? Is Biden as racist as Trump or something?

Anyone who gets this vaccine is a damn fool.

I am not getting the vaccine and I'm not even going to get COVID tested. It's all a big fricking scam.

Fauci sounds like a Nanzi doctor, wants to do medical experiments on dark-skinned people.

Biden pointed out the issue, they’re too dumb to figure out how to sign up. His thoughts, not mine.
