Vaccine Mandates are Anti-Black and a Continuation of Medical Apartheid

9 min readAug 12, 2022

In the Black community for the past few years, the issue of vaccines and vaccine mandates has been a hot debated topic. While the research does in fact show, that by and large Black America has taken the vaccine, contrary to many racist tropes coming from the right wing, there are many in the African American community who are rightfully reluctant or resistant to take the vaccine. While the Tuskegee experiment has been used a common trope to explain this hesitancy, Tuskegee is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to medical abuse that Blacks have experienced for over 400 years. Blacks have been tortured, exploited, poisoned, denied proper treatment, raped, and organ harvested all in the name of the “advancement of medical science”. While Jim Crow often dominates the discussion of this country’s racist past, eugenics was just as a prominent movement fully backed and sponsored by the United States government. Eugenics laws lasted just as long as Jim Crow laws. Under these laws, Blacks were subjected to forced sterilizations often under the threat of losing welfare benefits. Prominent civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer was forcibly sterilized along with thousands of Black women in Mississippi. The eugenics movement was not only billionaire funded, US govt backed movement eventually embraced by Nazis, it was a movement fully embraced by progressives, feminists, and members of the Black elite. Black people have also been unjustly targeted by scientists as scientifically inferior, genetically prone to violence, disease ridden, and mentally ill as thus targeted for cruel and barbaric experimentation, incarceration, and barbaric and cruel medical procedures. Given this, Black folks have the right to be hesitant about the vaccine and to outright refuse it. No oppressed group should be asked to blindly trust the science and medicine of their oppressor especially when science and medicine have been used for their oppression. Hence why these new mandates enacted by private dictatorships i.e. businesses with Trump’s authorization and by many governments are anti-Black and a continuation of medical apartheid.

The hallmark of the system of medical apartheid in this country was the fact that Black people were systemically and repeatedly denied ownership of their bodies. This were also not given informed consent about medical procedures and medical trials they participated in and were often subjected to coercion in the form of misinformation, threats, and bribes to ensure compliance. They also did not know the risks and benefits of the many of these medical procedures and trials. (This is very similar to the inducements Blacks are given today to get the COVID -19 vaccine). Hence why Marion Sims, founder of the medical practice of obstetrics, experimented and raped enslaved African woman to advance the “science” of obstetrics. Black men in Holmesburg Prison (new age enslaved Africans) were also subjected a lack of informed consent, were given exploitative inducements for compliance into medical trials and were poisoned in the process. Vaccination is a voluntary medical procedure and one of the hallmarks of Western Medicine and its corresponding ethics is informed consent. Each and every patient should be allowed to make an informed decision about any medical procedure they wish to engage and also know the risks and benefits. Given that Black people have not been given informed consent for 400 years and counting for medical procedures and were not allowed bodily autonomy, it is outright criminal to impose any type of mandatory medical procedure on this population of people.

Now many might say well Black Americans are disportionately dying from COVID–19, how is mandating vaccine a bad thing? Seat Belts are mandatory and the government imposes other public health measures to improve public health. Well, are Black people really dying from COVID or are they dying from systemic racism? It is known that 95 percent of COVID deaths are individuals who have numerous pre-existing conditions which include heart disease, obesity, kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. Only about 2 to 4 percent of COVID deaths are caused by COVID alone. All of these conditions are directly linked to the legacies of redlining, segregation, food deserts, environmental racism, food marketing, and air pollution. Segregation alone in the country kills nearly 200,000 per year. There are close to 20 different conditions which are considered to be COVID co-morbidities. Furthermore, deaths are counted as a “COVID-related” deaths when there is positive test result and/or a reasonable suspicion that the death was a COVID death. Hence why medical community and media now called COVID deaths “COVID-related” deaths. The same type of scientific fraud happens when the CDC reports on flu deaths. These deaths are called “flu related” deaths and it is estimated that these deaths number 22,000. This is done to push more potentially harmful and wildly ineffective flu shots which had been made mandatory for many professions. However, the true number of flu deaths is really closer to 500. These PCR tests are wildly inaccurate and highly unreliable. The vast majority of COVID death occur in the hospital too especially after the usage of ventilators which are known to kill people and/or give people pneumonia. Hospitals are extremely deadly places where people often die from medical errors, hospital borne infections, and or medical apartheid. Thus with these inaccurate tests, financial incentives to treat “COVID” patients and inflate COVID deaths, and numerous COVID co-morbidities it is impossible to know exactly how many people COVID has truly killed. Black people are dying no doubt, no dispute about that. They are dying in the hundreds of thousands per year from systemic racism, income inequality, redlining, capitalism, poverty, and from COVID lockdown measures imposed not from COVID.

Where there is risk, there should be choice.

Are Vaccines Really Safe and Effective

The COVID-19 vaccines are proven to woefully inadequate in providing protection. The vaccines’ effectiveness only last a few weeks but comes with numerous side effects. According a govt database which tracks vaccine injuries, the vaccine has killed 23,000 people and caused nearly 1,000,000 adverse events. This makes the COVID-19 vaccine, the most dangerous vaccine ever produced. It is estimated that this is only less than 1 percent of people who have been injured or killed thus the number could closer to 300,000 who have been killed by the vaccine. The fact that vaccine is highly ineffective fits right into the ethos of capitalism. Just like corporations design products to fail or be unrepairable to generate more demand and sales, Big Pharma does not have monetary incentive to design an effective vaccine that could provide lasting protection. Furthermore, Big Pharma is in the business of producing customers, not cures and thus again they did not have the incentive to produce a truly effective vaccine. Since they are in the business of creating customers and “treating” not curing disease, it is actually a good thing that their vaccine causes some adverse events since it generates more demand for drugs to treat the side effects of their other drug! Furthermore since Big Pharma has a monopoly on the treatment of disease in this country, this further incentivizes them to not make an effective product since they have complete control of the market.

Vaccines and Eugenics

Vaccines have always been used as apart of the global eugenics movement started in the US and many of the current vaccine makers are guilty of crimes of humanity for their open support and participation in eugenics. Pfizer, the leading distributor of COVID-19 vaccines is the manufacturer of Depo-Provera, the deadly contraceptive that is widely used by USAID and the Bill Gates Foundation to forcibly sterilize Black and Brown people around the world. Depo-Provera was actually developed by using poor Black women in Atlanta in the 1970s as guinea pigs to test the drug without their consent. Several of the women died in this genocidal experiment. Recently Depo-Provera has been used by the apartheid state of Israel to forcibly sterilize Black women in that country. Population Control/eugenics is official US policy and has been since the 1900s. The United States first embarked on a population control campaign in Puerto Rico by forcibly sterilizing nearly a 1/4 of the women there. Their fallopian tubes were removed and poor Puerto Rican women were used as guinea pigs to test the first birth control pill, a creation of world-renowned eugenicist and founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger. Interesting enough, one of the largest distributor of Depo-Provera today is Planned Parenthood and they mostly distribute this drug to inner city Black women. The Rockefeller Foundation since the 1970s has been developing anti-fertility vaccines to be distributed around the world. It was discovered in the early 90s that many tetanus shots in the Phillipines, Mexico, and other “third world” countries were found to be secretly anti-fertility vaccines. Public health officials in Kenya also found out that nearly 2 million women were secretly given anti-fertility vaccines. Furthermore, vaccines have also been found to cause miscarriages and contain components i.e. mercury and aluminum which lower sperm counts and cause infertility. Vaccines today i.e. the COVID-19 are genetically modified and genetic modification is a form of eugenics. One of the most widely used vaccines today is the HPV vaccine, a genetically modified vaccine which causes early menopause and infertility in boys. This vaccine is widely distributed around the third world by Bill Gates who once said that vaccines should be used to reduce the world’s population by 10%. Even worse, the HPV vaccine does not even prevent cervical cancer. It only provides protection against two strains of HPV which are thought to cause cervical cancer. Thus, the fact that billionaire eugenicists Bill Gates wants to vaccinate the world, the usage of vaccines for purposes of eugenics on Black people, and the official population control policy of US govt to enable easier resource extraction is yet another vaccine mandates are problematic AF for Black folks.

Informed Consent not Mandates!

Black people in America deserve informed consent about whatever medication or medical procedure they decide to take. They deserve to know the risks, the real benefits, and the true threat of the disease that they are taking it for. Unfortunately, due to medical racism and the fact that medicine is big business where the sole motive is to maximize profit, they are routinely denied this. However, given our systematic denial of bodily autonomy and integrity for nearly 400 plus years, there is no group of people more deserving informed consent and bodily autonomy than Black folks.
