Studies show white people are less likely to wear a mask, less worried about spreading COVID to others, and are less supportive of safety measures after learning COVID disproportionately harms communities of color. If you are a leftist that's ignoring COVID, what are you doing?

@luckytran Ty 4 consistently beating this drum, Dr Tran. Is there a well-sourced summary of current Covid risks (w/demographic breakdowns)? Also, current efficacy of vaccinations? Forgive my ignorance. I’m trying to keep up…so hard to do in this free market capitalist society we live in
@luckytran @MLS_Dave I was very careful and mask-wearing up until about 6 months ago. I just decided that I wanted to feel ‘normal’ again. I have since been in crowded transport/nightclubs maskless many times now and have still not had covid. Perhaps I’ve just been lucky. (I’m fully boosted.)
Most people who consider themselves progressive are just going along to get along. We all need to feel we belong to feel safe and that's what they're doing. Not a lot of people are passionate about their political views because they're too damned busy surviving. The masks remind them how vulnerable they really are. Whistling through the graveyard, tiptoeing through the tulips.
@luckytran @LadyDoctorSays Black people were less likely to get the shot. Does this make them less progressive?
@luckytran "Studies, none of which I am citing here show..."
@luckytran Well, this white leftist bitch is NOT in that group! I am vaxxed to the max and still masking. I have lost 2 family members to viruses. One in an epidemic and the other a pandemic. I follow and trust @DrEricDing. I listen to my gut and Dr. Ding’s professional advice.
@luckytran Looks like race baiting to me. Did this study include any countries outside the US? How is the mask wearing ratio in Cambodia compared to Uganda, England compared to Peru?
