Julia Mines didn’t want to get vaccinated against COVID-19, fully aware of the nation’s history of medical experimentation on African Americans. But she did it anyway.
“I needed to set an example,” said Mines, director of a drug and alcohol recovery center for Black Portlanders.
But, in the end, only two of her seven employees at The Miracles Club have gotten shots, she said, even though they had early access because they work face-to-face with people of color.
