- Lack of trust in biomedical research, government, and health care systems, especially among racial/ethnic minorities and under-resourced communities, is a longstanding issue rooted in social injustice.

- Changing the narrative: Structural barriers and racial and ethnic inequities in COVID-19 vaccinationThe COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States.

- A lingering mistrust of the medical system makes some Black Americans more hesitant to sign up for COVID-19 vaccines. It has played out in early data that show a stark disparity in whom is getting shots in this country — more than 60% going to white people, and less than 6% to African Americans. The mistrust is rooted in history, including the infamous U.S. study of syphilis that left Black men…February 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Vaccine Trust
- Since the beginning of the pandemic, workers in essential industries needing to work in person continued going to work and keeping the nation running while risking exposure to the novel coronavirus. And as states reopened, many nonessential workers returned to work, risking exposure to the virus to allow people to shop in stores, eat in restaurants, and obtain personal services. We find that…December 2020COVID-19/Coronavirus, Vaccines
