Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA) joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the historic reasons behind the skepticism within minority communities regarding medical institutions and the COVID-19 vaccine. Rep. Lee discusses the lack of a public campaign around the vaccine. "The administration is not doing a thing to address racism in the public health system, and helping us target resources to medically under served black and brown communities which have been disproportionately hit by this deadly virus.” Aired on 12/14/2020.

I’m a white minority and I won’t take it…😆
recently created troll account from Eastern Europe (based on IP)
Good. Dont. Bye.
The more you push any group to get vaccinated, the more they will think something is up and resist. Why are they pushing us so hard? What’s wrong with it? A smarter approach would be, after ensuring healthcare workers and those in group homes are vaccinated, let everyone who wants immunity get vaccinated, and issue immunity passports to those who have completed vaccination. Then, don’t allow people into crowded places without proof of vaccination. Treat everyone equally, regardless of race, and people of color might be less dubious.
Great. I’ve enjoyed my year of social distancing/quarantine. Suits me just fine.
The vaccine doesn’t stop you from spreading covid, you can still catch it and become an asymptomatic carrier.
Over 300,000 dead. Millions homeless due to lack of a Covid relief package. BLAME MITCH AND THE SENATE
85% of AA want NO PART of the weapon – 70% of HISPANICS want no part of the deadly vax – GOOD FOR THEM! SMART!
Blame China.
Can’t be too bad or Nancy would be working instead of getting her hair did.
ALL THANKS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP AND WARP SPEED…
10 day old troll account. Please enjoy the next 4-8 B I D E N years. 🙂
+300,000 dead, all thanks to Trump
Just think. These Democrats will have a little piece of the Trump Legacy in their blood forever.
@HughJaxident67 That’s the same amount of people that died of heart attacks this year. Who can we blame those deaths on?
@Blackscarf Saberman
Exactly..!!!!…They owe their lives to Trump….it would be nice if Liberals were barred from getting the vaccine…DEAD Liberals are always a welcome sight…….🌝
People of color are skeptical because there’s a long history of abuse at the hands of the government. 😏
t’rump supporters are skeptical because there’s a long history of them being idiots. 🥴
DO NOT VAX – unless you voted Biden then take 10 shots you traitor. DNI report coming and war is coming.
I wrote in Bernie and I’m not taking that crap. It’s not just Trump supporters.
Dont take it
But it’s not just minority’s. All my friends have a wait and see attitude. We here about people With allergies shouldn’t get it but they don’t specify .
Ms. Lee,I support you nearly 100%,except that it must be spoken about that some among us are vaccine injured,whether you or anyone else,professional or not,believe us and our children’s injuries.We are the ex-vaxxers.We also call out the vaccine makers when it is reported that the vaccine makers are feeding disinformation or with holding information about their products from the public.;taking a vaccine and it’s ingredients cannot be undone.
VOTE RED FOR 🇺🇸 DAVID AND KELLY 🇺🇸 FOR FREEDOM🇺🇸 AND 🇺🇸THE CONSTITUTION 🇺🇸🇺🇸PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP🇺🇸 WILL WIN UNDER THE CONSTITUTION 🇺🇸 STOP THE STEAL🇺🇸 ✊😠 🇺🇸 AND REMEMBER STATE LEGISLATORS 👈🇺🇸🇺🇸👉 PICK THE ELECTORS 🇺🇸 AND🇺🇸 CONGRATULATIONS 🇺🇸TO ALL REPUBLICAN🇺🇸 WOMEN THE YEAR OF THE🇺🇸 CONSERVATIVE WOMAN 🇺🇸 🇺🇸✊😁 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Did she just say there’s provisions in the bill for bribing the faith-based community to push the vaccine?
Why is this being turned into a racial issue when there are clearly millions of Americans of all ethnic backgrounds who are skeptical of vaccinations?
