Using the Tuskegee Study is a bad example. The African American community has among the lowest rates of vaccine hesitancy, it’s about half of what Republican males report.

But people do explicitly name it as a reason not to trust the vaccine. And similar for other groups.

My point still stands: with vaccines, you can’t create reasons for distrust.

It wasn't brought up for comparison it was brought up as an example of why POC have their doubt about a 90% white government telling them it's not a problem. You and I know there is a 99.99999999% chance that this is not Tuskegee 2.0, but when you've had to live with bias and doubt about government/police/etc.
