Some Black MS residents are skeptical of COVID vaccine. Can researchers change minds? [The Sun Herald]
Dec. 21—A few days ago, Vanessa Reed got a letter in the mail. A company called ClinicalResearch.com wanted her to know she could get up to $740 and potentially a free COVID-19 vaccine if she signed up for a clinical trial.
Reed, who is Black and Native American, tossed the letter aside.
“To me it’s dangerous,” she said of the vaccine. “I do believe in vaccinating your children. But I just don’t trust any of this. People can tell me it’s OK, but their body is not my body.”
