PA State Senator: People Of Color Are Falling 'Way Behind' In Vaccinations | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC

  1. On Sunday, March 14 2021, a mass domestic shooting in Indianapolis left four people dead, including one child. The Trace.

    1. Like the vast majority of mass shootings the perpetrator is not the correct race to make it on msnbc

    2. What happened? I’m in Indianapolis and I’ve heard nothing about it. I don’t watch the news much but still…

  2. States need to use the covid relief funding to open mass vaccination centers in population centers, where everyone has access. Not everyone has time to sit in a line in the middle of the day, and not everyone can get out of work that easily.

  3. Last night i was in public park in Philadelphia..i have seen one guy vaccinating himself..brave dude🤣🤣🤣

    1. 🗣❔ WAS , HE A BLACK OR A BROWN MAN . ❔🤔 BECAUSE , IT HAS BEEN WORSENED IN OTHER DEMOCRATS 💙 STATES . IF THE REPUBLICANS STATES 🖤 DATA ARE LYING ABOUT THE PRIORITIZING THEIR WORST OF NEED FOR THE VACCINE . THEY ARE GOING TO BE FIRST IN LINE . 🖤 AND , IF THE VACCINE IS IN A DEMOCRAT YOUR STATE , THEY ARE BEING TREATED AND GIVING THE VACCINATION IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE ONLY , IF HAVE A CAR ” ELDERLY ” TO GET TO THE PLACE, OR IF YOUR LUCKY TO GET A APPOINTMENT DATE 📆 TO GET VACCINATED. 💉💉 I DON’T KNOW WHY WE CAN’T ” GET YOUR VACCINATED TOO , AT YOUR PRIMARY- CARE PHYSICIANS , AND MAKE SURE YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY ISN’T CHARGED. 💲💸💵💰

    1. Who said anyone was blaming trump ? Biden had to start from scratch because trump and his enablers were so incompetent!!!

  4. It’s, hard,for, african american, Asia and, Hispanic,are, having,a, hard time setting,up,the, appointment,on,line,,I,was,getting,my,shot,on, Sunday,,the, weren’t, about,to,get,an, appointment,please,try,to,make,it,more,easyer,for, other, even,her,in,my, so State of Seattle

  5. Whatever the population distribution for a state is should be the same percentage of that culture who have received the vaccine. If only 13% of the population is made up of ‘people of color’ (whatever that means as all skin has pigmentation – white, brown, black, yellow, red) then only 13% of the vaccine should be distributed to ‘people of color.’ To each his own fair share…

  6. Many of the vaccination sites are too far from the communities they’re try to reach. Again, the issue with systemic racism at its core.

  7. So the guy who, earlier in his political career, fought in favor of
    segregated schools. Finally gets what he wants once he became president.

    1. @Ace Gkhan – Yesterday Democrats were saying Bill Burr is a Racist because he married a Black Woman, saying he is her ” Owner ” My Wife is Chinese. I have adopted two sons and their race is none of your business.

    2. @Ace Gkhan
      “Hi !….. I’m Joe Biden !…👈😁….

      ….and if you hate mexican children
      in cages, you ain’t black….👈😁….

      …..😳…….

  8. Falling behind might be a very good thing. People of ALL races need to use common sense regarding this “Vaccine”

  9. ERM what we are seeing in the UK and Europe is a reluctance in the BAME community to take up vaccine offers . I totally understand it but surely more effort should be going into educating and reassuring these communities

  10. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

  11. Each person that voted could have gotten 1 million dollars and that would be less than 1.9 trillion

    1. No it wouldn’t. If you gave 1.9 million people $1 million, you would be at $1.9 trillion. What are you going to do for the other 150 million voters, give or take? Leave those 150 million with nothing while you give a million dollars a piece to just 1.9 million people? You must have flunked math.

  12. “People of color don’t know how to get online to get in line for the vaccine” – quote from biden at cnn Town hall milwaukee. Go watch for yourself!
