Vaccines and communities of color
This week the show will discuss the Covid vaccines and how to move beyond fear, history and distrust of the medical community amongst people of color. It’s no secret that there has been a painful history that Black people have endured within the medical community, from the high-profile stories of the Tuskegee study to Henrietta Lacks. However, beyond those stories are the health disparities and everyday encounters poc have with the medical establishment. This has not necessarily changed with the pandemic. Those concerns linger at a time when getting a vaccine is important. We’ll speak with four doctors about the covid-19 vaccines and how to instill trust and hopefully break the cultural barriers surrounding trust issues for taking the vaccine and believing the medical community. We’ll also have Phillip Martin provide a short debrief on the breach at the US Capital. -
