If it's a social construct, then it can't have a biological impact on the efficacy of a vaccine. You see the paradox?

- RaptorJ 6y agoWhy not? Money is a social contruct, but dollars to donuts, populations with less of it will have lower vaccine efficacy.
- crusso 6y agoYou're right. That would be a counter-example because of non-biological second-order effects. But in this context, we're talking about first-order biological effects that aren't accounted for because of race. If race doesn't have biological underpinnings then the larger argument is meaningless.
