Episode #5 - Why Won't Black People Take The Vaccine? TUSKEGEE!


Listen Later

Ah, the ups and downs of podcasting.  I got a microphone and my quality is much better (yay!), my guest's audio not so much (oh well..).  I also pretty much ruin this pod with my allergies.  But I swear, there is so much good content in between a few sniffles.  Stick with it and you won't be disappointed.

On this episode I bring in my dear friend Gaby, who is an amazing doctor in North California.  She has spent the last year on the frontlines fighting Covid-19 and I can't say thank you enough.  We discuss various topics like understanding black people's distrust toward vaccines and what life will hopefully be like once we get through the pandemic.  Keep coming back, folks!  It will only get better from here.  


Below times are approx:
