冠状病毒继续对美国人口造成毁灭性的损失。但这一数字在所有人口群体中并不相同。具体来说，黑人公民比白色公民更有可能经历与冠状病毒相关的错位。由于目前收集的测试、住院和其他数据有限，种族差异的程度也不完全清楚。然而，所出现的是一种理解，即报告的结果反映了社会不平等，而不是生物倾向。不平等来自历史力量和当代力量，这些力量使相当大一部分黑人无法获得高质量的医疗保健或安全的环境。这些差异表明，开发安全有效的疫苗可能无法消除与COVID-19相关的种族差异，因为这一发展本身不会削弱社会中的结构性种族主义水平。需要多个部门和参与者采取协调一致的行动。
The coronavirus continues to take a devastating toll on the population of the USA. But that toll is not identical across all segments of the population. Specifically, Black citizens are more likely than their White counterparts to experience the dislocations associated with the coronavirus. Nor is the extent of racial differences fully known, given limitations to the testing, hospitalization, and other data currently compiled. What does emerge, however, is an understanding that the reported outcomes reflect social inequities rather than biological predispositions. The inequities flow from both historical forces and contemporary ones that leave sizeable fractions of the Black population without access to quality healthcare or safe environments. The discrepancies suggest that the development of safe and effective vaccines might not eliminate the racial disparities associated with COVID-19, for that development will not alone erode levels of structural racism in the society. Concerted actions that engage multiple segments and participants are demanded.
