As an African-American I can tell ya that the scars from the Tuskegee study are still there and are definitely playing a role...I mean as for me personally, I'm not too reluctant (just making sure there aren't any ill-effects, which is fine since I'll be at the end of the list anyway, lol) but others certainly are. I think it's gonna take a heck of a campaign...with more black leaders getting publicly vaccinated--along with as much transparency as possible.
