It is important to consider vaccine hesitancy in marginalized communities. A reaction to this by an outsider, may include questions like, "But these are some of the people who are most affected by not vaccination." Which can be true, doesn't address their concerns. As always, this is a generalized statement. Marginalized communities are not monoliths. Statements about groups don't always speak for everyone in that group.
> Some communities of color, including Black communities, display higher levels of COVID vaccine hesitancy than the general population, due in part to an egregious history of medical maltreatment—from the Tuskegee experiments to forced sterilization, to the nonconsensual and uncompensated use of stem cells.[1]
