COVID is fading, but racial gap in deaths is back with force in Michigan

The uptick comes as demand for the vaccines decreases. Statewide, some 27 percent of African Americans have at least one dose of the vaccine, compared to 40 percent for white residents, according to state data. And Detroit, where 78 percent of residents are African American, has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the state: About 33 percent among adults compared to 55 percent statewide. “The virus is still wreaking havoc in the community,” said Dr. Debra Furr-Holden, an epidemiologist and professor of public health at Michigan State University. It’s an abrupt change from last fall and winter, when African Americans made up less than 10 percent of deaths after being among the hardest-hit communities in the early months of the pandemic.
