The coronavirus vaccine rollout is on track for most Americans, but it will likely only be a drive-through for some communities. Specifically, some African Americans are cautious about taking the vaccine in light of America’s sordid history of health care and experiments on Black people.

When people are ordered to stay home, they still want to eat.
