  1. Interesting, so Porcine zona pellucida has a racial component? Albert Bourla, Pfizer CEO, and veterinarian known for his work with castrated boars may be able to explain the racial component of PZP.

  4. These comments are giving me a little bit of Hope.

  5. The CDC has become a racist joke.

  6. WHAT A BUNCH OF CROCK !!!! ANYBODY CAN GO TO THE COUNTY HOSPITAL OR CLINICS AND GET FLU SHOTS AND CAN BE SEEN .
    IF ITS SO MANY DISPARITIES WHY YOU ALLOWING ILLEGALS AND REFUGEES UNVETTED AND UNVAXXED INTO THIS COUNTRY.
    OUR OWN CITIZENS BEING DENIED TREATMENT ACCORDING TO THIS B.S.

  7. Stop pushing these shots on people, it's up to the individual to choose of what goes in their body.

  8. Enough with the race baiting

  9. menticide, infanticide, democide

  10. Anyways what y’all eating for lunch?

  11. What about the racial disparities Workmancamp claims and such ???…. They just want black folk first in line again … If they really cared they would done something about all other racial disparities in healthcare / Medical industries and the Judges Lawyers and Politicians that allow to happen

  12. maskoffweb you guys are so the best for crypto mining

  13. maskoffweb you guys are so the best for crypto mining

  14. Guinea pigs got played
    🐑😷💉🐀🧬⏱💥

  15. If you have not gotten the Flu in 20 years and have been around people who were infected yet YOU STILL DON'T GET IT. If you have been exposed to COVID,19 and you STILL DON'T GET IT and test Negative and you are a so called black person WHY Would they get vaccinated when they see people around them who are FULlY vaccinated getting sick from the flu and the Covid and are supposed to be more immune. Do you actually think a person who is not getting sick is going to get vaccinated while THOSE Who are vaccinated still coming down with these things… If it ain't broken don't fix it. Perhaps this is WHY a lot of black people REFUSE to get the vaccine because THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS DOING JUST FINE WITHOUT IT. Not All black folks because many have gotten both shots flu and covid but some of us WILL NEVER GET THESE VACCINES because the immune system that God has given them is doing well . So Don't Tread on me, Now if a person wants to get vaccinated so be it I am not Anti Vax but Pro Choice. Everyone immune system doesn't work the same some people just have an immune system that protects them from the flu and covid even when they are exposed to people who are.

    I would be very interested in what the experts and scientists have to say about this instead of them trying to Force vaccines on people who Will NOT take them and THEY ARE NOT GETTING SICK.

  16. It's your choice to get the flu shot. And blaming everything wrong with black or brown communities on the system is the bigotry of low expectations. If they wanted to, they could walk into a pharmacy and get a flu shot, often for free without insurance.

  17. If you want to know the real purpose of this "report", look up Maafa 21 here on YouTube. There is a long, long history of this.

  18. I don’t see disparities…I see bad choices!

  19. Why are the pharmaceutical industry helping the flu virus mutate and get stronger?

  20. Damn doctors that hate poor little Mexican me boo hoo 😭

  21. AMERICA.REMEMBER GOD IS REAL . HE IS WATCHING… IMAGINE A BLACK PERSON OR THE ORIGINAL NATIVES ÁRE NOT EQUAL TO GET A VACINE AGAINST THE FLU?????? FORCALL THAT THINK THAT THEY ARE ARE WHITE… YOU ALL ARE WRONG. YOUR HEARTS ARE BLACK TO TREAT PEOPLE WITH SUCH RACIALNESS… WATCH THE DISASTERS IN YOUR COUNTRY.. G9D IS ANGRY… HE IS COMING SOON TO DEAL WITH ALL YOU THATS SO NASTY AGAINST OTHER RACES…. IN THE BIBLE IT SAID THAT AMERICA WILL SINK… ALL THE BIBLE SAID MUST COME TO PAST.MUST!!!!!!!!. GOD WILL DEAL WITH ALL OF YOU

  22. So you mean that there are more people hospitalized that DON'T take the flue vaccination? By gosh the CDC just gives us such great information that our small minds couldn't make sense of otherwise. It's time to get rid of these clowns in power who just want to divide the country for power.

  23. F*** ABC always trying to separate Americans for their personal gain you bunch of a*******…

  24. Democrats and news media it's pathetic what you are doing. Hey my advice keep it up. Enjoy your Utopia Democrats. Good luck in the midterm elections. People are seriously done with this Bullshit

  25. Don't believe that junk. Don't get that needle. I know so.and I am white.

  26. Ask the Tasmania who did it
