In an effort to reach Black and Latino communities that have been hard hit by the coronavirus but have lagged behind the rest of the state on vaccinations, Illinois on Friday launched a $10 million public awareness campaign to combat vaccine hesitancy.

The multimedia campaign was announced as the total number of vaccinations administered in Illinois passed 3 million, with more than 1 million residents now fully immunized with two shots.

Speaking outside Family Christian Health Center in south suburban Harvey, Gov. J.B. Pritzker framed vaccine education as an issue of equity, a notion he and other state officials have hammered repeatedly amid early distribution data that showed significant disparities between white and Black and Hispanic residents in vaccinations.

Can’t have it both ways: 1. Refuse to get the vaccine. 2. Whine and complain that racism is preventing minorities from getting the vaccine.

I recall some high profile guy publicly getting vaccinated to encourage that community to not hesitate.
Seems he died of it shortly after.

My wife had her “female” doctor’s appointment this past week. His FIRST question was not about her health, but HAVE YOU TAKEN THE COVIT19 SHOT!!! She told him no, and he started getting on her about how are we going to stop this if people don’t get the shots. Then she tried to tell him a lot of what I and she had read on the Internet about bad things happening to people who took the shots. He claimed nothing bad was happening that it was all propaganda. He said my wife could be a “carrier” even when she didn’t have any of the symptoms. I was not in there with her or I would have blasted his sorry @$$. She has to go back tomorrow for a shot she gets yearly for bone thickness, Prolia or something like that. If any mouths get opened this time, I am going to show them the document that was sent to me by a friend concerning this crap.

The democRATS schemes are all the same.

They're so unpopular that they have to pay to have people accept them.

Follow the money. This $10 million is going into somebody's pocket.

I think that all of the big blue chitholes around the country have been sippin’ up some of the “COVID Relief” money.
I'm a retired Illinois teacher and since I've been retired, TRS pension checks have ALWAYS been released on the first of the month, or if it falls on a weekend the following Monday-always.
A couple of weeks ago I was doing something on my online banking page and my check had been deposited-two or three days early.
The criminals that run our state got their hands on some big cash somewhere.
Illinois was never in play but the demotrash must be paying out the bailouts they had to promise the blue states to steal the election.

UN Agenda 21 calls for the reduction of Earth's population by 85%. Rich white oligarchs subscribe to it. The blacks assume they'll be among the first to go.

The extreme push to get people to take an experimental “vaccine” should be sounding off alarm bells to everyone.
