This Black doctors room now almost 1,000 people on Clubhouse on COVID-19 vaccine should be disseminated to the public and one of the best done on this platform. This is very well needed especially addressing fears, mistrust, concern on rights, and public health issue

Props to these Black doctors giving detailed information about the virus and the vaccine and it’s disproportionate impact on Black people including chronic issues for those who “recover.”

I know a ton about COVID-19 but even I am learning a ton in this discussion

Now politicians are involved in the discussion. The Black doctors calmly and steadily addressing people with empathy is excellent.

The smart Black women scientists and doctors in this Clubhouse room need to be on every outlet today

A Black doctor from NYC raises his hand lowkey.

“I’m new to Clubhouse....How many of you have read the FDA study on the Pfizer vaccine?”

“I HAVE!” - ALL of the Black doctors

This is the BEST content I’ve listened to or watched this week and some of the best I’ve seen on COVID-19 and vaccine and it’s been driven by facts, science, data, and empathy and understanding of Black people by VERY smart Black people

My God this Black doctor said she lost THIRTY SIX family members. She sounds exasperated pleading for masks, & closes w/ “Physician burnout is real”

Immediately next doctor speaks steadying her voice thru tears breaking down science on addressing historical Black medical racism

Discussions now about Black market for vaccines and security around it. Hadn’t even thought about that

Great analysis by a doctor on countries with low GDPs like Vietnam who have handled COVID well and how it’s highlighted the historic failure by the United States.

“We feel like our country has done a bad job. And it hurts”

Now a short breakdown on limited testing for kids, and no current vaccine testing on kids under 12

Damn it. Doctor says it looks like COVID-19 vaccine will be like a annual or once every other year shot

A “natural doctor” comes wondering of natural Covid vaccine trials. One of moderator docs immediately offers to DM them to him. They’re on it!

Doctor breaking down relationship between pharmaceutical industry and counties and liability protection with vaccines from the companies and having to address the government instead

The Dr. Sebi anti vaxxer hoteps who have jumped in (one just said Sebi defeated the American Medical Association in the Supreme Court - WHUT

) but the doctors have done a great job of dispelling their fantastications

I’m glad the doctors are referencing books and resources on autism the nexus of anti vaxxers

Why are all of these Black anti coming to this Clubhouse room stage vaxxers from Chicago?!!!

I went out and got vitamin D3 on the strength of this room

Discussion on vaccine and how it prevents spread but not as directly as one might assume, and historically how other vaccines have reduced pandemics in the past

The doctors said they don’t have an answer definitely that the COVID-19 vaccine prevents transmission

“We think it probably does (on ‘cocoon effect,’ information on reduction of viral load & asymptomatic spread of COVID-19), but we cannot say so with certainty. We have to be careful of making a statement. We have to back it up with science”

Listening to scientists is so soothing

A couple of big questions that’s been brought up has been on people with anaphylaxis, food allergies, and auto immune diseases and taking the vaccine.

Doctors point to individual nature of those conditions and many hospitals not giving out vaccine to those with anaphylaxis

Antibody testing before deciding to get vaccine being discouraged due to waning immunity after 3 months

That was a great room. The best I’ve been in.
