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."

Anyone wants my Covid shot is more than welcome to it.
I am white and I don’t trust it.
democrats are simply racist.
So now the forces will pursue getting more Black people vaccinated because they aren’t coming in. Will they be going door to door to do this?
NEWSFLASH: It is still true that most people living in the United States are white, so why the big surprise?
Fine.
Give it to everybody but “white” people.
Let us see how that goes.
As of 2019, here is the current distribution of the U.S. population by race and ethnicity: White: 60.1% Hispanic: 18.5% Black: 12.2%
Anybody that goes on Joy Reid’s show is a self-declared idiot.
Biden is white
very white
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For that matter, so is Fauci.
I’m white and I don’t trust it
I am disturbed about it.
Fauxci and company are kiling off way more white people with these “vaccines”, or soon will be.
I find libtard “logic” extremely disturbing.
“ That is their choice but if they make the choice to not be inoculated then they do not get to yell about discrimination.”
This is what a normal, rational, sane, logical person would think. Unfortunately, we are not dealing with those types of people. They will twist everything for the sake of their own narcissism.
Can dark people have the right to “choose?” Because that is what is happening. They choose no.
Well after they get the vaccine then they are no longer human. They have been modified into a brand new race. Name to be determined.

Did the left just realize the majority of the country is white?
Apparently a lot of them don’t - they’ve been played around with by white ‘scientists’ and ‘doctors’ in the past.
But as someone else upthread stated, the US is majorly ‘White’. Odd that Fauci seems surprised by that...
If POCs are permitted to refuse the vaccine then, before you know it, Caucs will want to be permitted to refuse it.
I don’t think the military junta in D.C. allow that.
Errrrr, listen to me you dumbass racist sonofabitch (Dr, Fauci) - the last time I checked, the majority of Americans were white!
I read NBA players are very tentative to endorse the vaccination.
