Mississippi’s Black Residents Face Broadband, Transportation Barriers With Covid Vaccinations
Yes. Mobile sites are the way to handle rural areas. Can there be 2 vehicles travel together; one for vaccines, storage, and supplies. The other as clinic for people??
Thank You
How come when you become a reporter[sells soul] they don't sound black anymore?
Obviously the best connections to community Mississippians have are the CHURCHES, COURT HOUSES, SCHOOLS AND CLINICS. Everyone can find them.
they could do what w.v. did. they could get in touch with their health board to see their what their plan looks like
A lot of racism in Mississippi still exist.
Now do a story on the 19.7 percent poverty rate of Mississippi…
Is anyone else sick and tired of the the Democrat party dividing us race yet?
TUSKEGEE EXPERIMENT? Y’all wanna fact check that 1st 😂😂
Maybe they just remember the Tuskegee experiment. Seems from reading the comments a lot of people remember it. Maybe that's why people are no longer believing you fearmongering propaganda outlets anymore either.
Weird. Democrats are white supremacists too?
President Trump will be back sooner than later. He’s taking a much needed break from 4 years of constant harassment. Vengeance is mine says The Lord. Trust Gods Plan for America
The ultra poor are who they want dead.
Why is everything about skin color with these people bro
Everything Biden doing his stuff Trump put in place nice try.
Yes we know , pretty much everything and everyone is racist
even people of color (myself included).
Wouldn't it be easier for you if you just tell us what's not racist ?
Biden’s racist America. 🤣🤪🤣🤪
THE GREAT AWAKENING.
This is so dumb
I had to drive 70 miles (round trip) to get my first shot. And another 70 miles for the second shot. I'm not whining though, probably because I'm white.
The same effort to get folks to vote should be used to help them get vaccines – can’t be that hard
If this is true, then it is a problem that needs to be addressed. However given NBC’s track record, I think there is more to the story than they are making it seem.
Stop race baiting!! It's getting old asf……smh😒
Gee, whatta surprise
Your race has nothing to do with your access to internet, transportation, or vaccinations.
Always about race. This country is effed up.
What happened to the internet, or has it always been unreliable there?
