[Western Journal] According to the nation’s top infectious disease expert, black Americans should get the newly developed COVID-19 vaccine partly because a member of their race participated in making it.Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made the shocking statement Tuesday in a virtual appearance with the National Urban League livestreamed on Facebook.
The meeting, "Making It Plain: A Conversation with Dr. Fauci," focused on the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on African-Americans and other "people of color."
When asked about the reluctance of the black community to participate in medical trials over mistrust of the government, Fauci quickly moved to shore up trust in the vaccine and the testing process.
While the doctor admitted there is skepticism around the speed with which the vaccine made its way to the American public, he claimed cutting-edge technology cut the development timeline from years to months.
