Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan advised his followers against coronavirus vaccination in a speech Saturday, calling the breakthrough vaccine “toxic waste” that would harm the black community.
Farrakhan, 87, also sprinkled several anti-white pejoratives throughout his 70-minute speech, referring to white people as “crackers” and “devils.”
“We are so frightened over this Covid, now they’re getting us ready for this vaccine,” Farrakhan said at a virtual event for the National Afrikan/Black Leadership Summit.
“How could you allow him to stick a needle into you, saying he’s helping you?”
Farrakhan’s diatribe came a day before Pfizer began shipping millions of doses of its coronavirus vaccine to health facilities across the country. The first shots were administered to health care workers on Monday.
Health experts have expressed concerns that members of minority groups, who have tended to be at higher risk of serious illness from coronavirus, will avoid taking the vaccine due to distrust of the medical profession and the government.
Surgeon General Jerome Adams on Monday called for a program aimed at alleviating fears in minority communities about vaccines.
“We know that lack of trust is a major cause for reluctance, especially in communities of color,” Adams, who is black, said at a press conference on Monday, according to The Hill.
“And that lack of trust is not without good reason, as the Tuskegee studies occurred in our lifetimes.”
Adams was referring to the Tuskegee syphilis studies, a research program that ran from the 1930s through the 1970s in which the U.S. government infected African-Americans with syphilis to study the disease.
According to a poll released by Pew Research on Dec. 3, just 42% of black Americans plan to get the coronavirus vaccine, compared to 61% of whites and 83% of Asians.
The Food and Drug Administration granted emergency authorization on Friday to distribute the Pfizer vaccine. Clinical trials found that the vaccine prevented illness from coronavirus in more than 95% of test patients. Pfizer also said that there were no serious side effects in patients during the trials.
Farrakhan dismissed the research findings, and urged his followers who work in health care to reject the vaccine.
“Those of you who are health professionals, they want you to take it first,” he said.
“You notice they’re offering you money now? This devil…offers you $1,000 or $1,500 to take a shot. They give you free shots of toxic waste.”
Farrakhan appeared to be referring to a proposal from former Democratic presidential candidate John Delany to pay people $1,500 to get vaccinated.
Farrakhan referred to white people as “devils” earlier in his remarks.

In his speech, Farrakhan mocked proposals to require children to receive vaccines in order to return to school.
“What a blessing,” Farrakhan said.
“Tell the cracker: I ain’t coming to your school,” he added, using a common anti-white pejorative.
Farrakhan, a longtime vaccine skeptic, advised his supporters against vaccination for coronavirus during a speech on July 4. He said the vaccine was part of a plot orchestrated by Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates to “depopulate the earth.”
During his speech Saturday Farrakhan said that YouTube had removed video of his anti-vaccine remarks from the July 4 event.
Great to hear from the Rat Party’s “mainstream”.Now we need the party’s radicals to weigh in.
Much to my surprise Farrakhan and I agree on something
You allude to a good point I think, namely, that it would benefit all concerned if the black and brown community, and many whites for that matter, would learn who the REAL enemy is.
It is not Joe and Jane Smith down the street and in the office next to yours.
The reason we never get anywhere is the true oppressors are not identified and railed against. They have us all fighting among ourselves.

If you’ve ever lived in an inner city black “community,” you know very well the issue with getting your ‘stuff together’ has nothing to do with ‘trust:’ it has to do with getting off your ass and getting your stuff together.
You can’t win. If you give the vaccine to white people the black will say you don’t care about black people.
If you give the vaccine to black people they will complain you are using them as guinea pigs.
This reminds me of a Si-fi story I read about fifty five years ago in which a scientist found a chemical that only killed yellow animals. All kinds of yellow animals.
When he showed this drug he admonished the Chinese scientists to stay way back!
After this was done, the Chinese scientists ordered lots of these chemicals and tens of thousands of pink mice.
Farrakhan might be an evil racist anti-Semite who hates white people, but he’s the only national democrat black ‘leader’ who hasn’t moved into a white world mansion.
I’ll give him that...(oh, and ONE black NFL player still lives in the ‘black community’...
Okay. Don’t take it. No skin off my nose.
I noticed that he never mentioned the involvement of the Jews in this. He’s slipping.
The earliest US Federal Income Tax was by bills to be paid when the people made out a check. Quickly became a totally mandatory deduction and then produced federal lawsuits if not enough (as quarterly payments from some people today).
The reparations will have to have mandatory deductions from your gross income and, please consider this idea I had----any sale of a boat, car, house, belongings or merchandise will have to have reparations paid or the government will miss that revenue stream. Makes sense?
When President Gerald Ford got a bill passed to create $10,000 a year jobs for the unemployed, it was calculated each job cost $50,000 in bureaucracy and handling costs. Cheaper to put cash in a cigar box and hand money to people on the street corners.
I predict dimwit Americans will be outraged and feel strong racial animosity over reparations for black people who had no life events in the 1700s and early 1800s before slavery was ended. I've always heard liberal coworkers quietly griping "Why do they give Martin Luther King a day? How does he deserve that?" then back to voting straight Dem.
Calypso Louis album....
Low paid failed singer to cultural icon for his followers.

Don’t tell me America is not the Land of Opportunity. You betcha.
I love crackers
Louis Farrakhan just another low life race pimp that slow tinkers love to hear him talk.
Some people always think someone is out to get them and the most dangerous thing to them is to think for your self.

Broken clock. He’s right about vaccines. They’re poison ☠️
A toxic waste grown in fetal growth medium made mainly with aborted Black babies. In a way it’s a form of cannibalism.
Don’t take it then.
The more dead anti-vax idiots the higher the average IQ of those of us left.
