WASHINGTON — Nearly three out of every four shots administered at the federal government's Covid vaccination center in Cleveland went into white arms, according to site-by-site data provided exclusively to NBC News by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
That compares to a city-wide population that is 33.8 percent non-Hispanic white. At the same time, Black people were given just 10.8 percent of the shots, despite accounting for nearly half of Cleveland's residents. And, in figures that comport with broader national vaccination trends, Asian Americans got shots at a higher rate — and Hispanic people at a lower rate — than their share of the local population.
The full data set, covering 39 federal Community Vaccination Centers in 27 states, suggests President Joe Biden met his promise to "fight this virus with equity" in some parts of the country but not others. Where the administration fell short, it was not for lack of effort: Both political appointees and career officials at federal agencies say that equity was the watchword of the program.
Of the 4.6 million doses delivered to people whose race or ethnicity was reported, 41.9 percent were given to non-Hispanic whites, 25.5 percent were administered to Hispanic people and 14.7 percent went to Black people. Asian Americans accounted for 13.9 percent, 3.6 percent went to people who identified as multiracial or checked "other" on their forms, and half a percent went to Native Americans, Native Alaskans and Pacific Islanders.

Not into this white arm. We have, being the beneficent folks that we are, decided we will allow some underserved persons in an underserved community have ours. It’s the right thing to do.
Black folks must have memories of the last time the Government told them the shot was harmless and for their own good.
A few weeks ago, the shipping manager at my employer told me that they offered $100 to employees to take the shot. They literally laughed in the general managers face.
The shipping guys are about 90% black.
I said Ya’ll have good reason and he agreed.

So the government is meticulously tracking racial equity of the vaccine distribution, but adverse reaction tracking is left to VAERS, which is incomplete at best. Worry about ‘vaccine discrimination’ but don’t track adverse reactions which effects all humans regardless of race. Makes total sense.
I’m not getting it either.
My daughter had covid a couple weeks ago. Her fully vaccinated employers got it too. She skated through. They were really sick for a couple weeks.
A few months ago, I had a “discussion” with one of the leaders at my church. He was all excited that the vaccine was coming. I;m sure he was one of the first to jump in line.
Yesterday, he led songs. Then, he sat down in the front row to listen to the sermon, not really near anyone. He dutifully donned the mask. (Maybe 5% of the congregation wears them) He obviously doesn’t trust the vaccine.
Are there blockades by white folk preventing poc’s from getting their shot of poison?
Not that I could find.
Back in January when the Moderna came out there was a long 6 week wait in my county, so I headed to the hood and only three day wait.
Workers there told me blacks and hispanics aren’t getting the vax.
More division.
Virtually everything is about that these days.
equity? what to do... forcibly inject them?
The only way to have true equity is to execute all the white people.
Remember that the next time you hear the word “equity”.
I wonder who they are going to blame when the inner city population starts dropping like a rock?
I don’t think the White Republican Trumpians are responsible for the vaccine rate of blacks in the local metropolis being barely 40%.
And it has been like that since Spring. And, its not changing at all.
“Workers there told me blacks and hispanics aren’t getting the vax.”
That’s pretty much what we are seeing. It’s the reason we can’t fire people for not getting the vaccine. It would destroy our Diversity Initiative.
I am appalled that vaccines are racist. Therefore, for the sake of equality, I mean equity, I shall forego getting a vaccine until every single black person gets fully vaccinated.
It is the virtuous thing to do.
Apparently so. Maybe racis’ Joe can use choppers to land some corpse-man to administer the stab. I mean if he has F-15s and nukes he must have a chopper or two around.
Now, don’t you feel all swell. We do. Like an eco-warrior getting a new ‘zero emissions’(?) tesla.
“a mixed record of equity.”
Thats impossible.
If its equal its mot mixed. If its mixed its not equal.
Not wanting to abuse myself by reading the complete NBC propaganda piece, I assume the city of Cleveland or Cuyahoga County or the state of Ohio or even the Federal Government, at least one of the four is withholding these lifesaving vaccinations from poor helpless downtrodden minorities as a form of genocide.
Or did I misread it?
Another story. Co-workers husband got the Vaccine and got severely sick, including trouble breathing. It resulted in a trip to the hospital.
