Mr. President, hello. My name is Dr. Dessie Levy and my question to you is considering COVID-19 and its significant impact on black Americans, especially here in Milwaukee, and thus the exacerbation of our racial disparities in healthcare, we have seen less than three percent of blacks and less than five percent of Hispanics given the total number of vaccines that have been administered to this point. Is this a priority for the Biden administration and how will the disparities be addressed and that\u2019s both locally and nationally?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>JOE BIDEN: Well first of all it is a priority, number one. Number two, there\u2019s two reasons for it being the way it is. Number one, there is some history of blacks being used as guinea pigs in other experiments, I need not tell you, doctor, over the last 50 to 75 to 100 years in America so there is a concern about getting the vaccine, whether it\u2019s available or not, but the biggest part of it is access, physical access. That\u2019s why last week I opened up \u2026 I met with the Black Caucus in the United States Congress and agreed that I would \u2026 All of the community health centers now which take care of the toughest of the toughest neighborhoods in terms of illness, they are going to get a million doses a week and how we\u2019re going to move forward, because they\u2019re in the neighborhood. Secondly, we have opened up and I\u2019m making sure that there\u2019s doses of vaccine for over 6,700 pharmacies because almost everyone lives within not always walking distance but within the distance of being able to go to the pharmacy like when you got your flu shot. That is also now being opened.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thirdly, I also am providing for mobile vans, mobile units to go into neighborhoods that are hard to get to because people are on \u2026 For example, even though everyone is within basically five miles of a Walgreens let\u2019s say, the fact is if you\u2019re 70 years old, you don\u2019t have a vehicle and you live in a tough neighborhood meaning it\u2019s a high concentration of COVID, you\u2019re not likely to be able to walk five miles to go get a vaccine. The other thing we found is, and I\u2019m sorry to go on, but this is really important to me. The other portion is a lot of people don\u2019t know how to register. Not everybody in the community, in the Hispanic and the African-American community, particularly in rural areas that are distant and\/or inner city districts, know how to use \u2026 know how to get online to determine how to get in line for that COVID vaccination at the Walgreens or at the particular store. So we\u2019re also \u2026 I\u2019ve committed to spend a billion dollars on public education to help people figure out how they can get in there. That\u2019s why we\u2019re also trying to set up mass vaccination centers like places in stadiums and the like.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST: Are you concerned about the rollout of this online? Because it has been incredibly confusing for a lot of people, not just \u2013<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BIDEN: Sure.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>COOPER: Older people, it\u2019s younger people just trying to find a place to get a vaccine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BIDEN: Yes, and I have because look what we inherited. We inherited a circumstance here where, and now for the first, we did a lot in the first two weeks, a circumstances where number one, there weren\u2019t many vaccinators. You didn\u2019t know where you could go get a vaccine administered to you because there was no one to put it in your arm, number one. Number two, there was very little federal guidance as to say what to look for, how to find out where in fact you could go. You can go online and every single state now has and go online, and every single state now has a slightly different mechanism by which they say who\u2019s qualified, where you can get the vaccines and so on. So it\u2019s all about trying to more rationalize in detail so ordinary people like me can understand, I mean that sincerely. I mean, my grandchildren can use that online make me look like I\u2019m in the seventh century. But all kidding aside, it is a process and it\u2019s going to take time. Think of what we didn\u2019t do, and you and I talked about this during the campaign, we didn\u2019t do from the time it hit the United States. You\u2019re going to inject someone and your arm is going to go away, you\u2019ll all be down by Easter. We wasted so much time, so much time.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
