Today we’re publishing the results of a new survey among people of color to understand how different communities are navigating the COVID-19 vaccines.
A thread on our findings:
My heart aches for all the doctors and nurses and hospital workers who are trying to hold on in this 4th COVID-19 wave - the Delta + unvaccinated wave.
I wish you could all know the people I’ve met through @ItsMadeToSave who are working every day to get people vaccinated.
This weekend marks the start of the Month of Action! All across the country, community organizations and members are working together to ensure their loved ones and neighbors are getting COVID-19 vaccinated before July 4. Sign up to help: https://t.co/XnjFmEDsLs
@HHH_Report@Noahpinion@GarettJones Oh I agree - the gap is real, the national CDC numbers make that obvious. I was responding to why these numbers are all too low across the board.
@Noahpinion@GarettJones Also they say "total population" so the under 16 numbers are throwing this off. There's a surprisingly large number of ways to calculate "percent vaccinated".
@Noahpinion@GarettJones Race is unknown for 45% of vaccines, per the CDC. Not sure how KFF is accounting for that. Presumably a lot of that 45% is in the 8 missing states but not all of it.
@LaneyPope@amyswalk@albertsun @johnyoooon @yag1310 Laney, this is such a great project. Would you all consider making the data public, or sharing it with nonprofit partners?
@Erie Have you tried Picardin? I am also mosquito bait and it works better than DEET in my experience (and much more pleasant to use, less burning and smell!)
As they say, some professional news... I'm so excited and grateful to be a part of this amazing team, doing work I believe in deeply to close the equity gaps in the vaccine rollout and support grassroots organizations in the our hardest-hit communities.
The only way we’ll be able to beat this pandemic is if enough people get vaccinated. So join me, Michelle, and Americans everywhere in getting the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it’s available to you—and encourage your friends and family to do the same. https://t.co/HSjb2DUl4u

@mattyglesias@SurgoVentures survey of healthcare workers in December found that of those offered the vaccine, 15% had refused it at the time of survey. https://t.co/JRHoGRCEge
@jbray1027 We've started to get into board games and it's a nice break from the work/TV/phone cycle. I'm even debating video games next?! I don't know where to start with that but it seems like it could be fun.
