On the frontline of COVID in the US with guest Dr Regan DeHart
Episode 20
Monday, 21 December, 2020
This week, America passed the grisly milestone of 300,000 dead from COVID-19. With the first vaccines being televised as being given to VP Mike Pence and others, only 50% of Americans and just 25% of African American males are committed to getting the jab. Dr DeHart gives us some insights into why so many Americans - particularly minorities - are against getting the vaccine, and the grim truth of trying to protect her community from a rampaging virus. We discuss: The Tuskegee Experiment and why African Americans have a legitimate fear of government injections ICE detainees being forced to have hysterectomies . We are immensely grateful to Dr DeHart for not only her huge contribution and sacrifice in helping people in her community, but also for her time in joining us on Greenland and sharing her candid feelings about what is happening. It's grim but with people like Dr DeHart on the frontline, there is hope!
