History Spurs Distrust Between Black Community And Covid Vaccine | NBC News NOW











Our fears come from living as a women of color and generations and generations as Americans. They clearly hate us. so f""" them.
Anyone pushing this narrative is getting highly paid. Do they really think we’re stupid ?
Oh and the vaccines are not approved.
The fact they’re so bothered is suspicious. What’s even more alarming is, if the vaccines worked why they worried about those that don’t??????
At first they targeted the black community first. Saying we were most effected by this fraud of a virus. PLANdemic.
I’d never trust the government or those under their wing.
I trust my immune system more then a rushed vaccine.
It's not just about history… it's about the present too.
Also… multiple races have issues with the Vax.
This media narrative only increases suspicions of blkpeople.
IF THEY CARE SO 💕 MUCH ABOUT US WHERE IS OUR REPARATIONS 👋🏿
Is this a joke? Get vaccinated
And here we are August 2021 and you are blaming white people for not getting vaccinated.
er He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name
So old fat ppl the ppl who are dying from COVID should they get vaccinated?
What??? This video is seriously stupid. This is what is going around in at least some part of the black community. The suggestion itself is almost intended to incite racism. This seems like a "looking for a problem" comment. What a seriously stupid belief.
The vaccine will be no different going in any color arm…the vaccine surely isn't guilty of discrimination.
The government is tapping what it sowed. People wouldn’t be resisting the vaccine as much if not for the many years of government doing things to cause its own people to not trust it.
No
We know how vaccines work
Not good
No
We don't want your vaccines.!!
At 6:47 she said I could not beleve it.
Lol
to all my people who will not get vacinated, bye and get your affairs in order.
Make the vaccine mandatory for welfare and EBT and watch how fast things change.
Yep ..they paid her to convince us blacks to take it..
Let me get this striaght….90% of blacks vote for Democrats, the party in control that is trying to mandate the vaccine, and they put them in power and don't want to follow their policies? Interesting!
This is why they won't take the vaccine.

We are not Stupid, you *** us with the Tuskegee Experiment! They did procedures to our women without pain killers, but then said, we don’t feel pain! What kind of nonsense is this?
I know that Tuskegee can’t still make Baby Boomer Black Americans afraid of the government. Trust me, no white Americans want to be found harming black people. It just isn’t something we are eager to do. Please get vaccinated yall.
I like how they said Black men with syphilis were watched instead of they were intentionally infected then watched and given no treatment… 🙄🙄
I had to take mine at 13 for my sister she is having surgery
For one i don't trust your network to begin with. Btw tell your favorite president to take that billboard of him in a taliban outfit down. The billboard says "make the taliban great again" smh
So32%of black people trust you while 68% see you as you are
Black community hit harder than any other?? Propaganda
Don’t have to be black to distrust the government, I’m white as a ghost and I don’t want that vaccine anywhere near me. Isn’t this whole administration trying to wipe out white dudes anyway? I support the Black Communities decision all the way.
I will forever remain grateful to Dr IGUDIA on his YouTube channel who cured me from Diabetes disease with his herbs medication that I ordered from him
What excuses are they using when migrant Haitians who came to the USA don't want to be vaccinated…..
take off u mask
I can only recommend Dr IGUDIA on his YouTube channel for Diabetes disease cure because I have used his herbs medication and it cures my diabetes type 2 and I’m finally free from this deadly disease
And how about drugs, covid tests as alternatives for those who have personal reasons for not wanting to be vaccinated? Why are they so intent on vaccines and nothing else. Something stinks here, and to think they are dictating to grown people, do as I say, or else, as if we are children. We are all equal as men and women, and one is not more importan to look down on the other, as this powerhouse that we should obey, cause we have no right to want or not want in our bodies. It was so until Biden and Fauci. People got cancer and decided no chemo, even if they die. Its their choice, and their doctor had to respect. Now tyrant politicians with their own agenda have taken the place of our doctors, and we have no privacy. Makes us know even more that there is something not right with the vaccines. I never took a flu shot that I was asked about yearly, but no one criminalized me. Thing is, if already in yiur body and negative effects show later, cant be undone. I'd rather get covid for 2 or 3 weeks in misery, if it happens.
It's the flu with tripping
Black people earn enough collectively in the United States to buuld hospitals for themselves. Of course, thrush requires trust and unity among blacks, which is lacking in the black community. Blacks should be able to build multiple hospitals. Why then, do Black people continue to rely on this country to provide the basic necessities of life, like healthcare? It would make more sense in an intelligent society to build an independent hospital for blacks, capable of dealing with the black health disparities. Relying on the current power structure and then complaining about it is insane.
We ALL have reason to distrust the American health system. Stop segregating the issues NBC.
If there is a disclaimer saying you do not have the right to sue if your effected by side effects then obviously these companies producing the vaccinations do not back the vaccinations a 100% so obviously something is wrong. So do not take the vaccine
Do not trust the government ask the Native Americans.
I am Native American and will never get a vaccine and I am doing good even after testing positive for covid.
With how the slave masters children have treated my people, I’ll take my chances with covid any day . Your racist ways have been going on for 465 years & still going . Listen close we don’t trust you at all !!!
Tuskegee Experiments
Trovan Trials
Why are these communities suffering more from covid-19 because diseases do not discriminate and the fact that they're making it about race makes no sense. So are this communities of color not doing what they're supposed to are they not taking necessary steps to stay safe why.
