Black pastors promote vaccine with group clinic visit


Seven pastors and their wives joined Athens City Councilman Frank Travis on Monday to showcase the simplicity of the vaccination process and to encourage others in the Black community to get vaccinated, too.

Each pastor was from a different church in Limestone County and a member of the Limestone Ministerial Coalition. The Rev. Eugene English said there had been concern that not enough Black seniors and eligible residents were signing up for appointments, which is extra concerning given how much worse the virus has been in minority communities.

Some U.S. Black pastors, key players in COVID education, are hesitating to push vaccine


NEW YORK (Reuters) - When a major healthcare organization asked A.R. Bernard, the Black head of a Brooklyn megachurch, to sit on a committee tasked with boosting acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in communities of color in New York City, he demurred.

Bernard, who leads the Christian Cultural Center, the largest church in the city, said he turned down the offer because he worried some members of his congregation could view his participation as "joining forces with the system" to use African Americans "as guinea pigs" for vaccines that have been developed in record time






:hahaha:
 
This probably deserves its own thread

To put that into perspective...
  • If every death came from the city of Atlanta, nearly its entire population would be wiped out.
  • If you counted one second for every person who has died from Covid in the US, you would count for almost six days.
  • The death toll equals the total crowd from four days of the Coachella Music Festival, one of the biggest annual music gatherings in the US.
  • And it is nearly five times the attendance at the most highly attended Super Bowl ever - at the Rose Bowl in California, in 1977 (103,985)


How does Covid compare with cancer?
It is among the leading causes of death in the US.
Last year, it was the third leading cause of death overall, with only heart disease and cancer claiming more US lives.
At times, most notably during the third wave of cases, it spiked higher than both heart disease and cancer.

The death toll in the US is more than 10 times higher than the number of Americans who died from influenza and pneumonia the year before the pandemic.

Life expectancy in the US fell by a full year in the first half of 2020, a change experts say was fuelled by the pandemic.
The life expectancy for the entire population dropped to 77.8 years, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control.

Taking a closer look at the 500,000
Covid-19 spared no part of the country.
At the start of the pandemic, it was largely concentrated in a few large cities with diverse communities of colour, like New York and Detroit.
But towards the end of last year, some of the least populated US states - including North and South Dakota - saw some of the worst outbreaks, not just in America, but in the world.

Racial minorities - except for Asian Americans - were more likely to die of the virus than white Americans. Black people in particular have been the hardest hit, dying at 1.4 times the rate of white people.
Indigenous communities in particular were the hardest hit per capita.
Data suggests these racial disparities are often informed by community-level social factors, such as a higher likelihood that people of colour may work in essential occupations, rely on public transport and live in crowded housing.
