WEBVTT

00:00.775 --> 00:02.572
>> FORMER CDC DIRECTOR DR. TOM

00:02.607 --> 00:03.717
FRIEDEN, WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME

00:03.752 --> 00:04.678
BEING WITH US ON THIS FRIDAY.

00:04.712 --> 00:05.669
THANK YOU.

00:05.670 --> 00:07.522
>>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST HURDLES

00:07.557 --> 00:08.808
THAT HEALTH CARE WORKERS MIGHT

00:08.810 --> 00:11.439
BE UP AGAINST AS THEY ROLL OUT

00:11.474 --> 00:12.935
THIS VACCINE IS DISTRUST FROM

00:12.937 --> 00:14.535
AMERICANS WHO DO NOT KNOW IF

00:14.569 --> 00:16.189
THEY WANT TO TAKE IT.

00:16.190 --> 00:17.453
NBC’S ANTONIA HYLTON IS IN

00:17.487 --> 00:19.153
CHICAGO THIS MORNING WHERE SHE

00:19.154 --> 00:20.709
HAS BEEN TALKING TO RESIDENTS

00:20.743 --> 00:23.686
WHO DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT TO BE

00:23.687 --> 00:25.053
FIRST IN LINE.

00:25.087 --> 00:26.733
ANTONIA, GOOD MORNING TO YOU.

00:26.734 --> 00:28.054
>> MORNING, PETER.

00:28.055 --> 00:30.675
THERE IS A LOT OF ANXIETY HERE,

00:30.676 --> 00:32.683
AND IT COMES FROM CURRENT EVENTS

00:32.717 --> 00:34.383
AND ALSO A DEEP HISTORY.

00:34.417 --> 00:35.719
I’M STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF

00:35.720 --> 00:36.477
MERCY HOSPITAL.

00:36.478 --> 00:38.410
THIS IS A HOSPITAL SET TO CLOSE

00:38.412 --> 00:39.682
DOWN ON A BLACK COMMUNITY HERE

00:39.684 --> 00:41.131
ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

00:41.165 --> 00:43.006
AND MANY OF THE RESIDENTS SAY

00:43.007 --> 00:44.336
THIS CLOSURE IS PROOF THAT CITY

00:44.370 --> 00:45.893
LEADERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT US AND

00:45.894 --> 00:47.507
OUR HEALTH, AND THEY DON’T CARE

00:47.509 --> 00:48.558
ABOUT OUR ACCESS TO THINGS LIKE

00:48.593 --> 00:49.041
VACCINES.

00:49.043 --> 00:50.668
THEN THERE’S ALSO A CRITICAL

00:50.702 --> 00:51.635
HISTORICAL PIECE TO THIS

00:51.636 --> 00:52.591
ANXIETY.

00:52.626 --> 00:56.103
AS I’M SURE YOU’VE HEARD OF THE

00:56.104 --> 00:58.076
TUSKEGEE SYPHILIS STUDY FROM THE

00:58.077 --> 00:59.910
1900s IN WHICH DOCTORS SPENT A

00:59.945 --> 01:01.783
LONG TIME STUDYING BLACK MEN WHO

01:01.817 --> 01:03.709
HAD SYPHILIS, NOT GIVING THEM

01:03.710 --> 01:05.472
THE PROPER CARE OR OFFERING THEM

01:05.473 --> 01:06.150
INFORMED CONSENT.

01:06.151 --> 01:07.537
THIS WAS A MAJOR SCANDAL AROUND

01:07.538 --> 01:08.411
THE COUNTRY.

01:08.445 --> 01:09.877
IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY, IT

01:09.879 --> 01:11.365
CONTINUES TO BE A MAJOR FEAR.

01:11.400 --> 01:12.499
SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE PRIVATELY

01:12.533 --> 01:14.672
REFERENCE IN THEIR OWN FAMILIES.

01:14.674 --> 01:16.976
MY FAMILY TALKS ABOUT IT.

01:17.010 --> 01:19.201
AND IT LEAVES BACK PEOPLE TO

01:19.236 --> 01:20.750
WONDER, ARE DOCTORS GOING TO TRY

01:20.751 --> 01:22.008
EXPERIMENTING ON THEM AND GIVE

01:22.043 --> 01:23.215
THEM DRUGS THAT AREN’T REAL OR

01:23.250 --> 01:23.977
COULD HARM THEM?

01:23.979 --> 01:25.474
TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS

01:25.509 --> 01:27.883
CONVERSATION I HAD WITH

01:27.884 --> 01:31.984
RESIDENTS WHO LIVE NOT FAR FROM

01:32.019 --> 01:32.697
HERE.

01:32.698 --> 01:34.763
>> EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY.

01:34.764 --> 01:36.787
I FEEL LIKE THE MOST

01:36.788 --> 01:37.949
DISADVANTAGED FOLKS WILL BE LEFT

01:37.950 --> 01:38.439
DRY.

01:38.440 --> 01:41.917
I MEAN, AND WHO IS TO SAY IF

01:41.918 --> 01:43.175
THEY GIVE US THE FULL-FLEDGED

01:43.209 --> 01:43.949
VACCINE.

01:43.983 --> 01:46.403
THEY MAY GIVE US A GENERIC

01:46.437 --> 01:46.834
VERSION.

01:46.868 --> 01:48.829
>> WE FEEL WE’RE THE FIRST GROUP

01:48.830 --> 01:52.136
THEY WANT TO TEST IT ON, AND

01:52.137 --> 01:53.923
WE’RE BEING EXPERIMENTED ON.

01:53.957 --> 01:56.105
>> I WANT TO ADDRESS WHAT YOU

01:56.139 --> 01:57.119
HEARD ANTOINE MILLER SAY RIGHT

01:57.121 --> 01:57.386
THERE.

01:57.387 --> 01:58.742
IT IS NOT TRUE THAT THE

01:58.743 --> 02:00.462
GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO TRY TO

02:00.463 --> 02:02.388
PASS OFF A GENERIC VERSION OF

02:02.389 --> 02:03.813
THIS VACCINE TO THE BLACK

02:03.814 --> 02:05.288
COMMUNITY OR TO ANYONE AND

02:05.290 --> 02:07.093
ACTUALLY GENERIC DRUGS ARE JUST

02:07.094 --> 02:08.186
AS EFFECTIVE AS BRAND NAME

02:08.187 --> 02:08.611
DRUGS.

02:08.612 --> 02:10.295
WHAT YOU HEARD HIM SAY THERE IS

02:10.330 --> 02:11.898
THIS FEAR THAT SOMEONE IS GOING

02:11.933 --> 02:13.434
TO TRY TO GIVE SOMETHING LOWER

02:13.435 --> 02:14.978
QUALITY TO BLACK PEOPLE.

02:14.980 --> 02:16.432
AND THAT IS A DEEP-SEEDED FEAR

02:16.433 --> 02:18.182
THAT PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE

02:18.183 --> 02:19.634
GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO COMBAT

02:19.669 --> 02:20.053
HERE.

02:20.088 --> 02:21.647
IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT

02:21.681 --> 02:24.187
THE PEOPLE YOU MET THERE, THIS

02:24.189 --> 02:26.142
IS NOT AN ANTI-VAXX COMMUNITY.

02:26.176 --> 02:27.969
THIS IS NOT PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE

02:27.970 --> 02:29.375
VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM AND THEY

02:29.409 --> 02:30.941
LEARNED THIS FROM FACEBOOK.

02:30.975 --> 02:32.174
SOME OF THE MISINFORMED FAKE

02:32.175 --> 02:33.272
THINGS YOU HEAR ABOUT.

02:33.273 --> 02:34.555
THIS IS NOT THAT.

02:34.556 --> 02:35.934
THESE ARE FEARS BASED ON

02:35.935 --> 02:37.395
HISTORY, REAL THINGS THAT DID

02:37.397 --> 02:39.361
HAPPEN TO BLACK COMMUNITIES, AND

02:39.396 --> 02:40.743
THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE

02:40.777 --> 02:41.797
CHALLENGING FOR PUBLIC HEALTH

02:41.799 --> 02:43.470
OFFICIALS AS THEY TRY TO ROLL

02:43.504 --> 02:45.581
OUT THIS VACCINE HERE TO TRY TO

02:45.615 --> 02:47.103
ADDRESS DECADES AND DECADES OF

02:47.137 --> 02:48.714
HARM DONE TO PEOPLE AND TO GET

02:48.748 --> 02:51.565
THIS VACCINE ROLLED OUT TO THE

02:51.566 --> 02:53.965
PEOPLE WHO FRANKLY NEED IT MOST.

02:53.999 --> 02:54.952
>> ANTONIA, YOU’RE EXACTLY

02:54.954 --> 02:55.292
RIGHT.

02:55.326 --> 02:57.366
IT IDENTIFIES YET ANOTHER ONE OF

02:57.367 --> 02:58.263
THE CHALLENGES AFTER THE

02:58.297 --> 02:58.667
LOGISTICS.

02:58.669 --> 03:01.240
THERE IS THE CHALLENGE OF THAT

03:01.241 --> 03:01.583
TRUST FACTOR, PARTICULARLY
