A poll provided by NBC News shows that 76 percent of Black people have reportedly said they’ve received a vaccine against COVID-19, whereas only 66 percent of whites are vaccinated in contrast.
Another poll taken displayed the results that 91 percent of 2020 Biden voters have been vaccinated as opposed to just 50 percent of Trump voters.
Countering these polls, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and Fox News’ host, Laura Ingraham, recently shared some opinionated information, blaming the rise in COVID-19 caseS in his state on Black people’s lack of vaccination and said it was irrelevant to Republicans vaccination choices.

In a very whitesplained attempt at making sense, Patrick said, “The COVID is spreading; most of the numbers are with the unvaccinated.”
“The biggest group in most states are African Americans who have not been vaccinated. The last time I checked, over 90 percent of them voted for Democrats in their major cities and major counties,” he added.
Ingraham added that the inflation is due to TikTok users.
According to the NBC poll, despite 51 percent of all Americans being vaccinated and about 63 percent of Americans over 18 years of age being fully vaccinated, 13 percent of people said they wouldn’t get vaccinated under any circumstance.
The CDC reported that 38,057,336 individuals had been confirmed positive for coronavirus in the United States, 633,455 is the death poll in the United States due to the virus, 363,267,789 is the number of vaccine doses administered in the U.S.
These stats are provided following the FDA granted full approval for the Pfizer vaccine to people ages 16 and older.
President Biden also recently decided to encourage more Americans to get vaccinated.
