Is There a Vaccine Against Pandering?

It now appears that the greatest threat to black Americans isn't COVID, it's being pandered to death.

As the distribution of vaccines got underway last week, the Centers for Disease Control was trying to ensure that black people would get the vaccine before the elderly (too white!), while the media were focused on rationalizing black people's opposition to taking the vaccine at all.

-- NPR's "Weekend Edition":

Scott Simon: "Help us understand why many black Americans may be skeptical of a vaccine."

Liz Walker: "Well, Scott, you know, black people have been traumatized by a betrayal of the system forever for generations. ... We have all now talked about the experiment that used people with syphilis in Tuskegee. We all know about Henrietta Lacks."

-- ABC's "Good Morning America":

Zachary Kiesch (voiceover): "From the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, where scientists deliberately infected men and withheld treatments, to Henrietta Lacks, a young black mother of five who, in 1951, unknowingly had cells taken from her that biomedical research led to breakthrough cancer treatment."

-- MSNBC's "The Reidout":

Joy Reid: "And then the other piece is, when it comes, particularly in our community, black people, they might be like, I don't trust science, the science. We -- Tuskegee experiments, etc. There's just not a lot of trust. And it was developed during the Trump era."

Yes, because black people have a long track record of trusting the government ...

I know about Tuskegee, but what did the bad white doctors do to Henrietta Lacks? Answer: Johns Hopkins Medical School provided this poor black woman with the most advanced treatment available for her aggressive cervical cancer -- gratis.

Her rapidly reproducing tumor cells were then studied around the globe, advancing cancer research by leaps and bounds. But apparently, it was a violation of Mrs. Lacks' "black body" for her cancer cells to be used to benefit mankind. Maybe she wanted to display them on her mantle!

The black racists are totally insane.

We need a vaccine that protects against orwellian government.
