Incorrect. 9% of the vaccinated population is black. 13% of population is black. So 9/13 or 70% of blacks are vaccinated.

I didn't follow the equation, only the answer; it's simply wrong (and by several orders of magnitude).

There is absolutely no way 70% of the African American community took these shots.

Not quite. Only 56% of the U.S. adult population is fully vaccinated. Of this 56%, only 9% of them are black.

You went from percentage of population to percentage of vaccinated population without thinking. Those are two different things to take a percentage of, so you can’t compare the two results.

Overall, across these 40 states, the percent of White people who have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose (48%) was roughly 1.3 times higher than the rate for Black people (36%) and 1.2 times higher than the rate for Hispanic people (41%) as of July 19, 2021.

Nope. Fallacious reasoning!

Doesn't take into consideration what percentage of the total population is vaccinated.

All you can deduce is that Blacks are vaccinated proportionally less than non-Blacks.

Specifically: Blacks are 1/0.7 = 42% more "vaccine hesitant" than the overall average.

And non-Blacks are only 70% as "vaccine hesitant" as Blacks.

Further down it says 36%. This information could NOT be more confusing, which to me indicates it's being done deliberately.

Your percentages would work IF 100% of the US population is vaccinated. I believe that your estimates are wrong. The last statistic that I have read stated that 28% of the black, male population in the US is vaccinated.
I imagine it is a little higher now but certainly not 50%. I also have seen that about 50% of the white male population is vaccinated. 37% of the Hispanic males, and about 60% of the Asian males.
