Recruiting African Americans in particular will be “a heavy, heavy lift,” Collins said, because of the legacy of mistrust after the infamous Tuskegee experiment, when Black men in Alabama were left untreated for syphilis as part of a study that ran from the 1930s into the ‘70s. As Moderna Inc. neared its goal of 30,000 study participants, some sites slowed recruitment in recent weeks to increase minority enrollment, now at about 28%.
“If and when we have a vaccine ready, if you didn’t have enrollment of minorities, then people are going to say, ‘Why should I put the vaccine in myself?’” said Dr. Carlos del Rio of Emory University, another study site.
So you're mad White ppl all volunteering to be guinea pigs? The Lefts narrative is so aimless.
ABC 'news' teams should volunteer for a vaccine so they can report real effects of vaccine. No? No one? Anyone?
Ummm... Why do volunteers have to be diverse? Aren't volunteers just supposed to be there to help whomever?
You mean most people dont buy the covid scam anymore and wouldnt risk their health to give Bill Gates money.
They’re all too busy peaceful protesting.
