Fauci joins YouTube coronavirus special aimed at Black community

Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, kicked off a new informational YouTube series Tuesday about COVID-19 vaccines that aims to reach Black and brown communities.

Fauci participated in a question-and-answer interview with two doctors, Jamie Rutland and Italo Brown, in the first video of a planned “Barbershop Medicine” series from YouTube Originals.

In the approximately nine-minute long video, posted to the American Public Health Association's YouTube channel, the doctors and Fauci discuss the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine and address vaccine hesitancy in Black and brown communities.

"Sometimes, the source matters — especially for communities that bear the major burden of illness, but historically haven't had a reason to trust the healthcare system. As both a product of those communities and a physician, I understand that tug-of-war. We are the bridge between the health challenges they currently face, and the healthy lives they could lead," Brown said in a statement.

In the video, Fauci said there is an "understandable distrust" that could be passed down from generation to generation.

"We, the non-African American community's, got to own that," Fauci said. "The one thing I've learned is you don't want to disrespect the distrust. You've got to make sure you say, ‘I understand why you are distrustful, so let's talk a little bit about that and talk about why its is so important in today's circumstances to get vaccinated.' So that's lesson for me number one, don't put anyone down because they'd don't trust you because, historically they have a good reason to distrust you."

The “Barbershop Medicine” series will continue with a special set to launch Thursday featuring a local barber inviting Brown and Rutland in for a conversion with local patrons and celebrity guests.

The YouTube series is also launching after the federal government ramped up pressure for tech companies to take greater accountability for COVID-19 misinformation.

Dems are in big trouble over the fact that 91% of US blacks are unvaccinated.
How can they then deny public services based on VAX status without also being racist?

“the first video of a planned “Barbershop Medicine” series”

That’s pretty racist... if I was black I’d be offended by the implication that I need dumbed down medical advice disguised as “barbershop talk”.

Remember Tuskegee.

Fauci is taking a Berlitz class to learn who to speak jive. Right now he is working on the pronunciation of “yo”.

Some people of color still seriously believe that the virus that causes AIDS was created by cracker scientists to cull the black population.

"We, the non-African American community's, got to own that," Fauci said.

Easy on the Ebonics there, doctor! You're going to sound like Hillary in a black church or John effin Kerry inquiring about hunting licenses if you keep talking like that. You know, like a fraud.

Go door to door and get them on a train so they can get the vaccines.

They really, really, really want blacks to get the jab....

Google "Tuskegee Syphilis Study" or "Mass sterilization in Puerto Rico" and you'll understand why.
