Wait are the vaccination rates between whites and blacks actually substantially equal? And your link is just playing the trick of swapping out percentages for absolute numbers to make a tendentious argument.




See Figure 3: https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/latest-...

Vaccination rates for whites is 10-15 points higher than for Black people in blue states, but about the same in the poorest and most rural states.

That’s my point—what you’re looking at is low vaccination rates among disadvantaged groups. Public health officials have just forgotten that non-college rural whites are one of those groups.
