Biden's Health and Human Services Secretary Says, Vaccines ‘Kill People Of Color’ At ‘Twice The Rate Of Whites,’ So We Have to "Work" To Get More People Vaccinated

“By the way, we know that vaccines are killing people of color — blacks, Latinos, indigenous people — at about two times the rate of white Americans,” Becerra explained during a digital “White House Convening on Equity” seminar on April 14. 

After acknowledging the lethality of COVID shots, Becerra explained that approximately 80 percent of the American public is vaccinated. 

But the government needs to “work” harder to vaccinate Americans who have refrained from getting inoculated, he argued. 

“So, on vaccines, last year, we saw that about two-thirds of white American adults had received at least one shot of vaccine,” Becerra said. “That was just barely over 50 percent for black Americans and Latinos at that particular time. So, again, we’ve got to work." 

“Today, a year later, over 80 percent of white American adults have received at least one shot. Over 80% of black American adults have received at least one shot. Over 80 percent of Latino Americans have received at least one vaccine shot.”
