UVA Health physician is blasting the COVID-19 vaccine phase rollout as racist
UVA Physician Blasts Rollout WVIR By Daniel Grimes | March 10, 2021 at 6:02 PM EST - Updated March 10 at 6:02 PM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -A University of Virginia Health physician is blasting the state COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
Dr. Ebony Hilton, a physician at UVA Health, says when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines, Black and brown communities are being denied access due to the phaseâs rollout structure put in place by the Centers for Disease Control and Virginia Department of Health.
âBlack people in every single age category have higher death rates for COVID-19, higher infection rates for COVID-19, higher hospitalization rates for COVID-19. When you look at phase 1A itâs healthcare workers, of which 60% are white. Phase 1A was also nursing home residents, of which 78% of all nursing home residents are white,â Hilton said.
I wasn t particularly nervous until the hour before I was to get my COVID-19 vaccine. There were several questions I still had, but the thought of taking a trip or seeing family members I hadn t in a while was enough for me to say I would get it.
An opportunity was presented to me to get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in my capacity as a teacher, working two days a week at Notre Dame High School. The appointment window opened and I ran through it, scheduling my single dose vaccine at Griffiss International Airport in Rome.
Several people I spoke to regarding the vaccine had mixed emotions or feelings on the topic. Many said to me they d never get it, while others claimed they couldn t wait to get their shot. For me, I trust that it was approved by the FDA for a reason and it can only be of benefit.
CHICAGO (WLS) Cardinal Blase Cupich is encouraging people to get the COVID-19 vaccine following a Catholic Church controversy in which some bishops called the Johnson & Johnson vaccine morally compromised.
From the moment Cardinal Cupich publically received his first shot in December, he made it an Archdiocese of Chicago mission to urge other to get vaccinated. We have a moral responsibility to look out for each other s benefit, and it is an act of love to get vaccinated, he said.
But that moral responsibility became confusing last week when some bishops in other U.S. archdioceses urged Catholics to choose the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines over the one-shot Johnson & Johnson because of its greater use of cell lines cloned from aborted fetal tissue. Both Cardinal Cupich and the Vatican disagree.
