Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan advised his followers against
coronavirus vaccination in a speech Saturday, calling the breakthrough
vaccine “toxic waste” that would harm the black community.
Farrakhan, 87, also sprinkled several anti-white pejoratives throughout his
70-minute speech, referring to white people as “crackers” and “devils.”
“We are so frightened over this Covid, now they’re getting us ready for
this vaccine,” Farrakhan said at a virtual event

for the National Afrikan/Black Leadership Summit.
“How could you allow him to stick a needle into you, saying he’s helping
you?”
Farrakhan’s diatribe came a day before Pfizer began shipping

millions of doses of its coronavirus vaccine to health facilities across
the country. The first shots were administered to health care workers on
Monday.
Health experts have expressed concerns

that members of minority groups, who have tended to be at higher risk of
serious illness from coronavirus, will avoid taking the vaccine due to
distrust of the medical profession and the government. *(RELATED: Farrakhan

Surgeon General Jerome Adams on Monday called for a program aimed at
alleviating fears in minority communities about vaccines.
“We know that lack of trust is a major cause for reluctance, especially in
communities of color,” Adams, who is black, said at a press conference on
Monday, according to The Hill

.
“And that lack of trust is not without good reason, as the Tuskegee studies
occurred in our lifetimes.”
Adams was referring to the Tuskegee syphilis studies, a U.S. government
research program that ran from the 1930s through the 1970s in which
scientists studying the effects of untreated syphilis in African-American
men withheld treatments for the disease from study participants.
According to a poll released by Pew Research
<https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2020/12/03/intent-to-get-a-covid-19-vaccine-rises-to-60-as-confidence-in-research-and-development-process-increases/>
on Dec. 3, just 42% of black Americans plan to get the coronavirus vaccine,
compared to 61% of whites and 83% of Asians.
The Food and Drug Administration granted emergency authorization on Friday
to distribute the Pfizer vaccine. Clinical trials found that the vaccine
prevented illness from coronavirus in more than 95% of test patients.
Pfizer also said that there were no serious side effects in patients during
the trials.
