What part of the Constitution allows elected officials to issue mandates? When I got COVID-19 a couple of weeks ago, after a few days with the symptoms, I went to the hospital at the behest of my friends and got the anti-bodies. The doctor asked me why had I not gotten the COVID-19 vaccine. My response to him was “You really want to go there? You really want me to answer you. Tuskegee. The Tuskegee Experiment.” He responded, “ok. no problem. I understand.” The young man in this video posted a strong response about why Black Americans are hesitant about...

Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, kicked off a new informational YouTube series Tuesday about COVID-19 vaccines that aims to reach Black and brown communities. Fauci participated in a question-and-answer interview with two doctors, Jamie Rutland and Italo Brown, in the first video of a planned “Barbershop Medicine” series from YouTube Originals. In the approximately nine-minute long video, posted to the American Public Health Association's YouTube channel, the doctors and Fauci discuss the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine and address vaccine hesitancy in Black and brown communities. "Sometimes, the source matters — especially for communities that bear the major...

President Biden visited North Carolina on Thursday amidst a White House push to Americans to get vaccinated against COVID. "It's awful hard as well, to get Latinx vaccinated as well. Why? They're worried they'll be vaccinated and deported," Biden said to a crowd in Raleigh. These comments were immediately following Biden’s remarks about the black population and potential vaccine hesitancy. "There's a reason why it's been harder to get African Americans, initially, to get vaccinated. Because they're used to being experimented on. The Tuskegee Airmen and others. People have memories. People have long memories," Biden said. Biden, however, got the...

The MSM is at a loss to understand why Michelle Obama got tagged as an “angry black woman,” and is bending over backwards to disabuse working class men and woman - in particular - of this notion. Case in point, this fawning profile in The New York Times, which was unintentionally revealing in ways that support the lingering concerns some voters have about her takeaway message from 20 years of listening to Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s sermons. Here’s Michelle Obama in action as VP of Community Affairs at the University of Chicago Medical Center in 2001: Hospital brass had gathered to...

James Taranto calls out Michelle Obama for appalling pandering to the lie that the government deliberately injected black men with syphilis in the notorious Tuskegee Study. Yesterday, a New York Times article about her noted that she had killed a research project on the human papillomavirus, because of sensitivity to the widespread mistaken belief in the black community that that such research abuses happen to blacks. "The Times's account suggests that girls in Chicago were denied potentially lifesaving vaccinations because Michelle Obama pandered to racial paranoia instead of standing up for the truth. Is that why they pay her the...
