    1. Biden’s handling isn’t going to well either.
      Soon to reach 500,000 deaths. Vaccine shortages. Increased unemployment. Deficit that’s increasing to 1.9 trillion.

    2. @David Hale give it a minute tiger. he’s still living out a suitcase. And Oh yeah, there is this country to run thing..B1

  1. I have a problem with a White doctor talking Black women’s health issues for some reason 🤔. He has no clue that there is healthy eating and educating happening in my circle of people.

  2. It seems to me everyone knows about the lack of vaccines in these areas.SO…GET THE VACCINES IN THESE AREAS!!!!! What is the issue!!!!

    1. The vaccines are a flu shot variant. The reason why they aren’t so concerned about distributing them is because they know that they are not very effective. COVID-19… Coming from a guy who works at a hospital with his wife… Is financially encouraged to be reported at hospitals. Every hospital does this… Reporting non-Covid related incidences as Covid related… Made us a lot of money. Vaccines, are already paid for by the government. Distributing them doesn’t make anybody money. Hence forth why the distribution is such a problem but the creation of the vaccination went so smoothly

    1. Lockdowns are primarily being executed by Democrat politicians. Covid is not disproportionately affecting African-Americans or people of color. This is a lie. There isn’t a single study that has been verified that shows this being the case. COVID-19 is a political tool used to retain power again. My wife works at a hospital, I work at a hospital… I can tell you from first-hand experience that everybody in the medical field is financially encouraged to report things as Covid related. If you can’t connect the dots, maybe it’s time to get off the Internet

  3. He cares because NBC gives him a paycheck. 🤷‍♂️ Also I’m on Team Thanos . Get the world population down to 2 billion .

  4. Think about the new and more dangerous strains, maybe ban travel that is not within the borders? When a person or family travels to England, I am having a problem seeing how that lowers my risk of catching the new strains. When travelers from outside America come to visit, it seems that they would not lower my risk of catching the new strains, either.

  5. It should not be about race. If you do not want to wash your hands, get a vaccine, wear a mask, or social distance, no problem, just do not go to the hospital when you catch it. Everyone decides to do what they want, the end result is the same. Everyone will catch it, there will be herd immunity, those that followed the rules will have fewer problems and deserve medical care if they need it.

  6. They don’t seem to want it like other minorities. My husband is white he wants it. He is waiting patiently with masks.

  7. “We Risk Losing A Generation Of Black Mothers & Fathers To Covid Variants”. Go tell that to your average Trump supporter; he’ll sneer and tell you it’s a good thing.

    1. No he won’t. I live in the south and have NEVER heard anything even close to that in my entire life. You really live in an alternate reality don’t you?

  8. The title is a bit hyperbolic; it certainly over emphasizes the data that we are seeing. For example, being 75+ is about nine times more ‘dangerous’ than being black. Please tell people with darker skin that you care for to supplement their diets with Vitamin D. We genuinely don’t get enough of it in the summer time, and we get much less now that winter is here. Vitamin D is certainly not a panacea for SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, so please advise your loved ones to continue to wear masks in public and socially distance.

  9. When are doctors going to speak up about the lack of vitamin d in these populations??? Studies show that those with low d do poorly with viruses etc because their immune system is not working properly.
