I feel the need to reiterate a few PSAs:
1️⃣There is still no vaccine for racism. So, vaccinating Black folks will reduce mortality, but will not eliminate disparities cos the disproportionate impact of COVID on our community is due to Structural Racism not biological differences

Speaking of which...
2️⃣Our bodies are not physiologically or genetically different from white bodies. Our community is also incredibly diverse/heterogenous.
Race is not biological.
It is a sociopolitical construct.

Health & disease differences between racialized groups are driven by inequitable & unjust structural/systemic forces. Period.
3️⃣Ultimately, eliminating structural racism in all its manifestations so that BIPOC have increased wealth, improved education, secure housing...

...healthy foods, dignified criminal justice experiences, and the unbiased equitable healthcare interactions is what will close the gap in terms of COVID, other communicable & non-communicable disease, health, & wellbeing.
4️⃣Always be EARNING the people’s trust. Always.
