Even Dr faucis outlook completely changed from we won't see a vaccine till February, to, it's pretty much here yea.

Nice example of how false naratives are built/maintained and if done long and well enough become true to many.

I see certain members here have found things to squawk about since they can no longer cry about election fraud or #DiaperDon mopping up those nasty Dems come election time

There was fear of an 'October surprise' before-the-election vaccine, put out for vote-getting purposes without proper testing and approval. But Trump did not deliver such.

And just to clarify Cornell is the one who said people of color.

I'm not making any excuses or justifications; I'm saying that there are multiple, competing concerns in this case and that put the university between a rock and several hard places. In an ideal world, everyone would get vaccinated - end of story. (Actually, in an ideal world competent federal leadership would have crafted an unpoliticized, science based response to COVID and none of this would be necessary).

The university wants its students to be safe; it also wants its faculty and staff to be safe. It is also being sensitive to the understandable mistrust of authority among many "people of color." I agree with donquixote99 that a non-coercive approach should be taken.

FWIW, shit happened way later than the 1930s. The Tuskeegee experiment ran from 1932 to 1972. Granted it ended almost fifty years ago, but people remember. And it is far from an isolated incident. Some sources for you to consider, journalistic and academic:

Ask yourself what you meant by the term "opposite" in this context. Why opposite instead of "different", or the phrase "non-white".

Gee Waggs, do you have to practice at selective reading or does it come naturally? Before you feign ignorance specifically how do you get a "lot of dems were saying "I'm not taking a vaccine developed under trump"" out of those articles you linked to?

After that feel free to continue your deflection from the original topic.
