More Black Americans Open to Vaccines After Outreach Efforts
NBC Los Angeles ^ | 4/10 | Russ Bynum and Annie Ma

Posted on 04/10/2021 5:57:37 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Some of the most effective outreach has relied on existing community relationships

Like others in her family, Mattie Pringle had doubts about taking the coronavirus vaccine.

The 57-year-old Black woman from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, feared that her high blood pressure and diabetes might heighten her chances of a severe reaction to the shot. The speedy development and approval of the vaccines also fed her skepticism.

Then a member of Pringle's church, a local NAACP leader who has led a vaccination campaign targeting Black residents, urged her to reconsider. He shared a news story about Kizzmekia Corbett, a Black government scientist who played a key role in developing the Moderna vaccine. “That’s what made me change my mind,” said Pringle, who finally agreed to an appointment to get her first coronavirus shot Thursday. “I had to pray about it. And I felt better after that.”

Just tell them they will lose their gov’t benefits without proof of vaccination.

Seems odd that something allegedly good for you needs an outreach campaign. More like we’re being sold a bill of goods.

Doesn’t anybody else have a gut feeling that there’s something about all this that doesn’t pass the smell test?

I knew the game was afoot in February of last year. The media coverage was a giveaway.

So she was convinced because a black man was on the development team. Seems reasonable LOL.

I wonder how many billions the NAACP got to fund their outreach program?

It’s just more propaganda hoping they actually listen.

Especially DMX followers since he died less then 24 hours following his vaccination.

Thats going to inspire a lot of people to run out and get stuck.

Find and identify community influencers then give them the tools to influence larger groups.

We’ve got psyops down pat... well - “we” might not be the right term at this point in history.

The fearful sheep marching into slavery and control at best, marching into slaughter at worse. I just can’t get my head wrapped around taking an experimental shot ( it is NOT a vaccine) for a virus that is 99.5 percent survivable. America has been played by sinister forces.
