  1. Something didn’t sit right when she kept calling African Americans “blacks”, I could be wrong in feeling that way so please correct me if I’m wrong.

    I also wish more news outlets would point out that this type of vaccine was developed 17 years ago and they’ve been perfecting it ever since, all they had to do was figure out the way for it to work for this specific virus. The technology, like I said, is 17 years old.

    1. I’m brown too (African American) and something about how she said “blacks”(like it’s a derogatory word in her circles) that didn’t sit right with me abou either. But rest assure that some of us who are so committed to being amicable at any cost (as well as people who will pose as an AA person when they’re not) will claim that they heard nothing unusual in her tone….even when there was a notable difference in the way she said it vs. the way Director Collins said it. <<*shrug*>>

  2. Notice which group they chose to use when deciding to get a vaccine.
    They still could have gotten a placebo.
    I wonder who Collins voted for in this past election.

  3. Odd that Mr Travel Ban didn’t enact one for the UK, well not that odd, the UK is primarily white. Must be that the Brit Bug doesn’t have that certain something that the Kung Flu has.

  4. FACT: Before the election, Democrats were casting fear and distrust over the vaccine; “Don’t take it, Trump is rushing it”. Now that Biden won they are falling over each other to show themselves getting it and telling everyone it is safe and they must get it!!! And, they will NEVER thank Trump for Operation Warp Speed; doing what was needed to get it done in LESS THAN 1 YEAR, a timeframe that normally takes 5 YEARS and they were ridiculing him for such a claim! Think For Yourselves!!!

  5. I am responsible for my own immune system. The choices I make regarding my health are my own. If I get sick I will not blame others.

    1. Poor old typhoid Mary of New York.
      Never accepted any responsibility for the sickness and death that followed her wherever she went.

  6. Question….and this is a perfectly logical question……
    If every well respected immunologist and epidemiologist’s confidence regarding this vaccine is based upon data that’s been overstated (in order to push it into the market and to encourage them to promote it to the public) and something’s wrong with it, then who will be left to resolve the issues that the vaccine creates or to create a new one if they’ve ALL been injected with it?

  7. Did he really just say “that was then and this is now”? How convenient for him to minimize our distrust! I wonder if he’d accept the same “that was then and this is now” argument if were his family that a group of people infected with a deadly virus and then sat around for 50 years in cold calculation waiting to see how long his family would suffer or die off?
    Would that “that was then, this is now” comment be good enough for him then?

    Probably not huh?

    And that was not the ONLY medical nightmare that we’ve experienced at the hands of these monsters! There have been COUNTLESS MEDICAL ATROCITIES committed against African American people in this country and MOST of them are STILL celebrated by the very same people who are pushing this “trust us narrative” now!
    Take the BUTCHER L. Marion Sims. Even as I type this, there are countless medical books that refer to him as the “father of modern gynecology”. Yet this monster “earned” that title by experimenting on the reproductive systems of 100+ kidnapped (read: slave) women against their will and WITHOUT anesthesia! His argument ranged from, “but wait….they agreed to it” (slaves can’t agree to shyt!) to “black women aren’t human and don’t feel pain” (which means he stood around and IGNORED their pain!). In the end, he left those women either barren and/or killed them yet…..”certain” white people being who they are, look over that! Instead, they celebrate his discovery of a surgical technique of which he promptly used to cure white women of their gynecological issues – but only THIS TIME he used anesthesia!
    So yeah, white people had a whole 401 years to back up off of their soulless behavior but failed to close the divide. And now you want us to forget all of that so that you can gain some semblance of her immunity?
    Naw bruh….you first….we’ll wait.
