Which part? There was an insane amount of disinformation and astroturfing targeting AA to not get the COVID vaccine. Regular media was supporting this with the constant articles about how the skepticism was justified because of Tuskegee and that the white people that were avoiding the vaccine were dumb and doing it because of Trump and conspiracy theories.
I was amazed that the excuse kept coming up with every new wave and was then followed by data about how they were the least vaccinated group, but the conclusion was racism and not having access, which held no water after a couple months.
Soft bigotry of low expectations makes it impossible to counter the disinformation effectively.
