Opinion | I'm a Black doctor who didn't trust the Covid vaccine. Here's what changed my mind.

Opinion | I'm a Black doctor who didn't trust the Covid vaccine. Here's what changed my mind.

Let’s normalize hesitancy to take a new vaccine. Instead of judgment, we need to empower trusted messengers to answer community questions and dispel myths.

 Consume a rainbow of fruits and vegetables during the week.

 Add a fruit or vegetable to every meal you eat.

COVID-19 vaccine guidance for those who are lactating is based on faulty assumptions, experts say

Guidelines have grouped breastfeeding and pregnant people together when addressing vaccine safety. That, experts say, doesn't make sense.
