I don’t see how someone’s opinion on one particular group of vaccines should be considered as a red-line. It would create a massive and completely unnecessary divide among us.

There happened to be a lot of scandals around those vaccines. It would be a shame if nobody ever got to hear anything about that because everyone was too afraid of being ostracized. Why take an absolutists position on such a grey topic just to cut yourself off from so many people who have done so much for our movement.

Not only are you talking about turning your back on the most radical among the black community because you don’t want to allow any criticism over a flawed vaccine, you would turn your back against Max Blumenthal who has done so much for us, has proven himself so invaluable. Where is your gratitude that one of our best journalists becomes an untouchable over-night?

Over a one vaccine you’d split the little ground we have in half. You’d call them anti-vax as if they weren’t vaccinated against polio or smallpox like the rest of us. Again it’s more of that absolutist rhetoric. People are allowed to be concerned over issues that involve their lives and their bodies, but you would dismiss someone for addressing even a single issue that people are reasonably concerned about as “anti-vax”, as if they were against the very notion of vaccines.

But you’re right that the black community had justifiable fears concerning the vaccine and it would have been WRONG for the Revolutionary Blackout movement to not address those concerns.

All of this is Passe’. The hype over Covid is come and gone, and the damage is already done to our community. The question is are you going to insist on bring it up past the point that any of still maters?
