(ChurchLeaders) Dr. Anthony Fauci spoke to the members of a predominantly African American church in Boston about the soon-to-be-released coronavirus vaccine. Fauci sought to allay fears the congregation may have about the vaccine, specifically since communities of color have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus compared to other communities.
“Minority communities, particularly African Americans and Latinx, elderly individuals, those with underlying conditions, those who have suffered most from this terrible outbreak are the ones that stand to benefit the most [from a COVID-19 vaccine],” Dr. Fauci said in a video conference call hosted by Roxbury Presbyterian Church.
