>Black people have a well earned historical distrust of the medical community that's pretty much completely unrelated to the zeitgeist of the "anti-vax" movement.

As opposed to white people? Why does it matter whether you mistrust the US government because of Tuskegee Syphilis Study, or because of MKULTRA?

It's really weird how people responding to me keep talking about distrust in the US government, when I was talking about distrust in the medical community.

Presumably you know that significant parts of the historical “well earned distrust” that black people have of the medical community involve the government.

So does the current drive for vaccination.

It’s weird that you don’t see the connection.
