If a conservative had said “Let’s try it out on the black folks” what would the reaction have been?
Maybe someone on the vaccine development teams has, in private. /S
Or, maybe someone has said, "Let's try it out on the soldiers first."
That’s exactly the reaction that’s coming. Side effects of the two-shot vaccine are said to be non-trivial for many persons who’ve tested it. The Phizer version has already been given to medical personnel in England, and a handful of recipients with allergies had severe anaphylactic reactions. If that sort of thing happens here, among minorities, you can be sure there’ll be cries of “Tuskegee!” And just try to get them to show up for the scond shot, whose side effects are said to be worse than those of the first shot.
Prediction: if (hopefully not when) there are serious side effects from the vaccine, those same ethnic groups who received it first out of a sense of racial ‘justice’ will be the ones who howl first and loudest.
