A survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau found nearly a quarter of Black adults younger than 40 were likely to eschew inoculation.

Just google search terms that you would never put in google like, "unvaccinated most likely to be young black men", and you will find stories and information on the subject. BMX's statement, while false, is not entirely incorrect. But regardless, this sort of thinking is tribal and stupid.
I've read the last few pages of the thread. Good grief. WE ARE SO SMART. THEY ARE SO DUMB. WE GOOD TRIBE. THEY BAD TRIBE. This thread has turned into a real circle jerk.
You know what looks most like an angry cat? Another angry cat. Everything you hate about "them" manifests itself in you as well. Confirmation bias and the scapegoating mechanism go hand in hand. I am encouraging all of you to examine your own biases, to study your own ugliness first.
And like I wrote on here a few months ago about another scary variant. I'm here to say the same thing again,
we're going to be freaking fine. See graph.
I'm out there working seven days a week. Probably going to make more money this year than I've ever made. I wish I had done the same last year and not worried about any of this.
In the beginning, I remember watching this video of a young British man in Wuhan.
He was in Wuhan in January 2020. And in one of his videos, he calmly explained that he doesn't worry, because when you worry, you are hurt twice. Once when you worry, and once when it actually happens. At the time, I thought how can I not worry? And I was losing my mind, buying all kinds of cleaning material, bleaching the sidewalk in front of my house like a psychopath, etc. Worried about what other people were doing or not doing. I didn't pursue the opportunities I had at the time because I was so worried. It's my personality, my own personal Mt. Everest. It's my bias to believe the worst about the future, and I battle it every day.
And here's a real question for all of you. Imagine you're twenty, I know that's a long time ago for a lot of you guys, back when gas was still leaded or the Soviet Union still existed, but I'm sure you will remember that your concerns were some combination of getting laid, getting drunk and getting rich. Young people know the virus poses little threat to their health. We're just finding out that the vaccine does little to stop the spread of coronavirus.
What impetus does a twenty year old have get a coronavirus vaccine that's not punitive?
