"Medical Racism" documentary

​Instagram banned John F. Kennedy, Jr. weeks before I saw a March screening of Medical Racism: The New Apartheid. I was familiar with his vaccine message from his past public outreach with Tony Muhammad (Nation of Islam). It turns out the student minister, too, is a co-producer.

I do like the documentary. It's well-sourced with testimonials from doctors, medical researchers, and advocates among multiple populations of the Diaspora. Further, I learned about one connection between the severity of COVID symptoms and a vitamin deficiency in patients of African descent -- which I had not in daily print media. And the testimonial from the Compton woman concerning an unrelated vaccine?

Talk about painting a picture.

Kennedy's caution makes sense on account of his family's connection to a notorious medical experiment, and another population whose members might include the product of "vaccine injury."

Despite the emphasis on vaccinations and immunizations, I consider Medical Racism a tutorial or training for caregivers to exercise judgment (both benefits and risks) for their children; the children in their care; and the overall community of youngsters with whom their children will interact.
