The stat doesn't seem to be (entirely) made up.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/12/nyregion/covid-vaccine-bl...

> Young Black New Yorkers are especially reluctant to get vaccinated, even as the Delta variant is rapidly spreading among their ranks. City data shows that only 28 percent of Black New Yorkers ages 18 to 44 years are fully vaccinated, compared with 48 percent of Latino residents and 52 percent of white residents in that age group.

(I do share the skepticism that the stat was brought up out of genuine concern for the health and safety of that population, though.)

That is probably misleading because it only addresses one tiny portion of the tirade the other poster went on.

Are many folks hesitant to get it? Yes. Is it for the reasons mentioned? Who knows.

One thing is clear - lots of people are doing things that are getting them in deep, deep pain because of BS, rumor mongering, and fear. It’s pretty terrible.
