A
And
we
welcome
you
to
black
pittsburgh
matters.
Black
pittsburgh
matters
is
a
series
of
virtual
town
hall
meetings,
affirming
a
city-wide
agenda
that
black
pittsburgh
does
indeed
matter.
Black
pittsburgh
matters
means
that
black
lives
matter.
We
must
protect
the
health
and
safety
of
black
people.
It
means
that
black
communities
matter.
We
must
focus
on
rebuilding
black
communities
and
it
means
that
black
wealth
matters.
We
must
focus
on
increasing
black
employment
and
entrepreneurship.
B
Community
has
been
disproportionately
affected
by
concurrent
crisis,
the
kovic
19
pandemic
and
the
economic
crisis
and
race
relations,
which
is
a
public
health
crisis
normally
in
times
of
crisis,
and
great
change,
we'll
be
coming
to
you
as
the
black
elected
officials
of
pittsburgh
having
meetings
across
the
city
with
our
constituents
partners
in
our
lives,
since
we
cannot
do
so
safely
in
the
current
pandemic.
We
are
now
using
this
media
and
platform
to
come
to
you
in
the
ways

about
what
we're
doing,
discuss
policy
and
legislation
concerning
black
pittsburgh.

tonight
to
down
today's
down
hall
meeting
topic
is
kovic
19
in
black
pittsburgh
part
two,
but
I
think
I
don't
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
pass
us
by
the
historic
inauguration
of
joe
biden
and
kamala
harris.
B
My
mind
goes
back,
of
course,
to
my
mother
and
I
will
and
who
has
passed,
and
I
wish
he
had
been
lived
to
see
this
day
along
with
my
my
wife
and
my
daughter,
who
have
the
election
of
kabul
harris,
as
vice
president
symbolizes
in
many
ways
the
full
inclusion
of
african-american
women
in
this
country.
They
have
been
the
bad,
the
the
the
foundation
of
our
families
and
the
foundation
of
our
culture
and
in
many
ways,
at
least
for
me,
and
hopefully
for
them.
It's
a
symbol
of
their
full
recognition
into
this
country.
A
Agree,
and
not
only
are
they
the
foundation
of
our
families
but
they're,
also
the
foundation
of
the
democratic
party
and
so
for
them
to
be
placed
center
stage
with
now.
A
Vice
president
kamala
harris,
as
well
as
the
young
woman,
amanda
gorman,
who
I
believe
in
many
respects,
stole
the
show
it
was
just
really
wonderful
to
see
black
women
take
center
stage
during
today's
ceremony,
I
actually
spoke
to
my
mother
earlier
and
she
told
me
she
stayed
home
and
didn't
go
to
work
today,
so
she
could
take
time
and
watch
the
inauguration,
but
one
of
the
other
things
I
really
thought
about.
As
I
watched
the
inauguration
today,
was
in
many
respects
what
we
saw
was
sort
of
a
transition
from
indecency
to
decency.
A
The
manner
on
which
this
inauguration
was
set
up,
the
president's
words
all
the
way
from
his
beginning
to
the
pastor's
ending
and
talking
about
finding
our
sort
of
common
humanity,
the
symbols
of
unity,
amanda
gorman
talking
about
this
is
the
era
of
just
redemption,
and
the
nation
is
not
broken,
but
just
unfinished.
A
B
And
I
think
it
goes
to
our
work
here
in
pittsburgh.
Right
we
are,
we
are
leading
you
and
I
are
leading
this
effort
locally,
for
reconciliation
for
empowerment,
of
black
people,
rebuilding
black
communities,
and
I
think
that
it
just
further
emphasizes
the
road
that
we're
traveling
in
the
work
we're
trying
to
accomplish.
A
Agree,
president
biden
in
his
speech
said
we
need
to
set
our
sights
on
a
nation
we
can
be,
but
that
we
must
be-
and
I
think
that
also
speaks
to
what
we're
attempting
to
do
here
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
really
deliver
a
city
that
we
must
be
above
and
beyond.
Not
only
what
we
can
be,
but
what
we
must
be
with
that.
We
are
slated
to
talk
about
covet
19
today
and
this
week.
A
Unfortunately,
it's
worth
noting
that
we
have
reached
over
four
hundred
thousand
covet
deaths
in
the
united
states
covet
has
had
a
devastating
effect
on
the
united
states
and
has
disproportionately
affected
black
americans.
A
B
B
I
need
to
say
that
two
or
three
times
we
have
to
as
soon
as
we're
able
take
the
vaccine
to
give
us
a
clear
perspective
on
kovic
19,
the
vaccines
and
the
black
community,
I'm
honored
to
have
four
experts
distinguished
each
in
their
own
field,
dr
margaret
pettigrew,
the
inaugural
senior
vice
president
and
chief
clinical
diversity
officer
for
the
allegheny
health
network,
dr
gloucester,
the
chief
executive
officer
of
the
primary
care
health
network,
dr
christopher
conte,
an
emergency
medicine,
physician
and
baptist
pastor
and
dr
tracy
conte,
a
family
medicine.
Physician
welcome
all.
A
Just
to
jump
in,
we
had
both
dr
tracy
conti
and
dr
glosser
on
our
inaugural
town
hall
back
in
august.
I
would
just
like
to
ask
sort
of
the
general
question
before
we
get
into
a
lot
of
the
specifics.
In
your
perspective,
what
has
changed
since
then?
What
more
do
we
know
about
the
virus?
Now
that
we
didn't
know
back
in
august,
when
we
had
a
chance
to
speak,
and
what
have
you
seen
change,
or
what
do
you
view
the
situation
in
allegheny
county
being
now
as
opposed
to
what
it
was
then.
C
I
think
what's
changed
is
our
care
for
patients
who
do
contract
covid19,
both
in
the
hospital
and
outside
of
the
hospital.
Now
there
are
strategies
that
we
can
utilize
on
the
outpatient,
setting
that
we
can
refer
patients
to
decrease
their
risk
of
having
severe
reactions
from
kovid
and
on
the
inpatient
setting.
We
have
more
medications.
We
are
better
equipped
to
know
how
to
handle
covid,
but
I
also
think
the
fatigue
for
kovid
has
changed.
C
A
lot
of
people
have
stopped
wearing
masks,
have
stopped
being
socially
distant
and
doing
more
activities
which
has
increased
spread,
and
it's
something
that
we
just
need
to
ensure
that
communities
understand
that
cobit
is
still
there.
There
is,
there
are
increased
deaths
from
coven
and
that
we
have
to
remain
vigilant.
D
Yeah,
I
would
again
concur
with
dr
conte
and
some
of
those
things
that
we've
seen
and,
of
course
all
of
us
have
witnessed
the
spikes
that
occurred
over
the
holidays,
which
speak
to
and
the
factors
that
she's
mentioned
as
well
with,
I
think
coded
fatigue
and
everyone
just
missing
that
ability
of
getting
together
and
decided.
D
D
Hopefully
there
is
now
a
sort
of
reset
where
others
are
starting
to
take
it
serious
again.
But
I
think
that
you
have
still
that
element
of
of
the
code
fatigue.
I
think
the
other
thing
that's
happened
is,
as
we
started
off
the
program
with
the
change
in
administration
and
the
change
in
focus
in
our
country
from
the
top.
D
I
think,
hopefully
there's
a
trickle
down
to
you,
know
those
who
perhaps
were
taking
it
less
seriously
and
that
you
would
be
seen
more
so
as
the
the
outsider
when
everyone
else
is
wearing
their
mask
and
and
you
aren't,
but
I
think
that
we
got
a
long
way
to
go
to
to
help
that
within
our
communities,
because
I
think
there
there's
just
that
level
of
both
mistrust
and
also
this
level
of
of
feeling
like
like
tracy
has
mentioned.
D
Dr
conte
has
mentioned
just
fatigue
with
all
of
this
and
and
people
willing
to
say
well
I'll,
take
what
comes
with
it,
because
I'm
just
tired
of
trying
to
prevent
it.
You
know.
B
You
know
this
this
week.
Well,
really.
Last
week
the
oldest
member
of
my
church
102,
passed
away
because
she
was
still
living
at
home.
Still
very
functional,
unfortunately
came
down
with
the
virus,
my
son
had
the
virus
and
he
did
recover,
we
know
and
that
copic
19
disproportionately
affects
black
people
in
in
your
work.
B
Why
is
that?
Why?
What
why
why?
Why
are
we
so
vulnerable?
I
want
to
start
off
with
you,
dr
pettigrew.
Tell
me
what
what
is
it?
What
is
it
about
us
that
makes
us
so
vulnerable
to
this
pandemic?.
E
Well,
first
of
all,
I
want
everybody
to
understand.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
genes,
because
every
we're
all
made
the
same,
because
that
is
such
a
a
myth
that
has
been
that
we've
seen
for
400
years.
The
issue
is
that,
because
of
the
root
causes
that
have
made
us
more
susceptible,
we
have
more
comorbidities
in
many
of
our
communities.
We
have
more
hypertension,
diabetes
and
many
of
the
other
immunosuppressant
diseases
that
we
have,
so
we
are
more
susceptible,
and
in
addition
to
that,
you
know
we
have
dismissed
trust
about
really.
E
What
is
the
virus?
What
you
know?
What
does
it
do
to
us,
and
so
we
have
not
been
following
the
guidelines,
as
we
should
be
we're
in
our
mass
social
distancing,
and
even
if
we
could,
there
are
so
many
there's
many
many
places
in
the
city
that
we
can't
do
that
in
your
in
your
homes,
your
the
high-rise
apartments
for
our
senior
citizens,
you
can
on
the
elevator.
You
know
you
could
fit
two
people
in
the
elevator
there's
no
more
common
common
areas
where
they
can
actually
socialize.
E
So
sometimes
it's
very
difficult
for
them
to
practice
social
distances
and
many
of
them
still
don't
have
the
proper
equipment.
They
don't
have
the
mask
that
they
they
need.
So
there
are
multiple
reasons
why
this
is
happening
in
our
community
and
some
of
them.
We
can
take
care
of
short
term
some
of
them.
We
cannot,
but
the
key
is
that
we
still
need
to
buckle
down.
E
B
Pastor
conte
and
I
I'll
use
that
sometimes
to
distinguish
between
both
doctors.
I've
asked
quantity
in
your
work.
Tell
me,
I
know
we
know
the
outbreak
of
kovic,
but
how
does
that
affect
people
who
have
these
pre-existing
conditions?
Are
black
people?
Are
we
are
we
generally
less
healthy
as
as
a
race,
or
does
it
have
to
do
with
poverty
or
in
your
work?
Obviously,
this
this
this
virus
is
affecting
us
more
deeply
because
of
the
underlying
conditions,
but
why?
F
Well,
I
I
think
that
you
know
that
is
the
the
million-dollar
question,
but
I
think
the
answer
is
really
complicated,
because
you
know
kovit
did
not
create
all
of
these
disparities
in
our
community
cove.
It
just
became
kind
of
the
the
current
microscope
that
that
intensifies
our
look
at
these
issues,
but
they,
but
many
of
them
kind
of
came
to
bear
here
in
the
last
10
ish
11-ish
months,
which
are
things
like
population
density.
F
Where
we
work,
many
of
our
communities
are
filled
with
men
and
women
who
are
not,
who
don't
have
the
luxury
of
working
by
way
of
zoom.
So
they
have
to
work
if
you
go
to
the
grocery
store
and
get
your
groceries,
you're,
probably
interacting
with
a
frontline
worker
who
lives
in
one
of
these
communities
of
higher
risk.
F
The
lack
of
access
to
overall
health
care,
which
has
been
a
glaring
health
disparity
for
decades
in
communities
all
over
the
country,
partic
and
here
in
pennsylvania
and
in
allegheny
county,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
we
do.
As
dr
pettigrew
mentioned,
we
are
over
represented
in
a
number
of
these
preventable
death
causes
of
more
mortality
such
as
hypertension,
diabetes,
chronic
lung
disease,
chronic
kidney
disease,
cancers,
immunosuppressant
diseases,
immunocompromised
conditions,
hiv
lupus
sjogren's,
disease,
rheumatoid
arthritis,
so
we
are
disproportionately
represented
in
those
in
those
environments
as
well.
F
So
again
as
as
has
been
mentioned
by
people
in
the
panel,
it
is
not
a
genetic
thing
that
makes
us
more
vulnerable
to
covid.
F
It
is
just
the
perfect
storm
if
you
will
of
all
of
these
other
determinants
that
have
been
affecting
us
negatively
in
every
other
health
area,
and
now
it's
just
come
to
bear
now.
F
You
know
it's
interesting
that
you
know
we
do
talk
about
the
fact
that
the
mortality
and
morbidity
rates
from
covet
are
higher
in
our
communities
and
our
overall
morbidity
from
covet
is
higher,
but
our
inhospital
mortality
from
covet
is
lower
and
that's
simply
because
fewer
of
our
community
members
are
being
admitted
to
the
hospital,
which
is
an
entirely
other
conversation
about
why
residents
in
in
certain
communities
tend
not
to
get
admitted
to
the
hospital
for
covid
compared
to
other
communities.
F
So
you
know
there,
there
is
a
long
laundry
list
of
reasons
and
disparities.
That
would
help
us
better
understand
and
that's
why
it's
even
more
important
that
we're
not
compounding
problems
by
not
adhering
to
evidence-based
information.
F
It's
it's
an
incredibly
emotional
time
and
and
we're
driven
oftentimes
by
emotional
decision
making,
and
then
you
mix
in
a
lot
of
conjecture
and
urban
legend
and
just
totally
untrue
information
from
non-reliable
sources,
and
it
all
ends
up
mixing
together
with
all
of
these
disparities,
and
now
we
have
high
risk
behaviors
that
are
covered
specific,
not
wearing
masks,
not
washing
our
hands,
not
staying
away
from
others
when
we're
sick
gathering
together
in
congregate.
F
Gathering
settings
which
again
are
gatherings
of
greater
than
10
people
with
people
who
don't
live
with
you,
and
so
I
think
it's
a
combination
of
all
of
those
things.
A
Dr
conte
christopher
dr
christopher
ganti,
you
just
sort
of
mentioned
urban
myths
and
our
sort
of
concern
or
distrust.
Dr
pettigrew
also
mentioned
it
as
well.
One
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
from
my
constituents
are
there.
They
don't
want
to
take
the
vaccine
because
it
was
created
too
fast.
F
In
in
general,
the
vaccine
development
process
takes
many
many
years
and
when
you
think
about
it
in
normal
time,
those
those
processes
involve
a
series
of
steps
which
then
get
reviewed.
There's
an
allocation
of
money
and
the
money
isn't
all
just
thrown
at
a
research
project
or
a
clinical
trial.
As
you
demonstrate
the
validity
of
your
data,
then
they
give
you
more
money,
then
you
get
reviewed
and
so
over
time.
That
takes
time.
F
Well,
you
know
when,
when
the
death
rates
and
the
case
rates
became
exponential
in
the
united
states,
then
operation
warp,
speed,
evolved
and
so
imagine
taking
a
process
that
typically
takes
years
and
now
pumping
into
that
process,
revenue
to
the
tune
of
a
billion
dollars
per
month,
a
billion
dollars
per
month
to
over
130
research
entities
in
the
united
states
all
committed
to
trying
to
solve
the
covet
vaccine
problem
and
now
you're,
enabling
those
entities
to
share
information
and
to
work
literally
around
the
clock.
F
You
can
significantly
shorten
a
three
or
four
or
five-year
timeline,
so
it's
a
combination
of
money
as
well
as
resources
and
technology,
and
the
fact
that
you
know,
I
think
many
of
us
have
the
impression-
or
many
people
in
general
have
the
impression
that
warp
speed
meant
starting
from
ground
zero
when
in
reality,
the
research
into
the
coronavirus
family
began
around
2000
2001
and
with
sars
and
mirs
and
a
whole
other.
F
So
you
took
a
process
that
had
been
in
the
works
and
had
been
ongoing
for
two
decades
and
add
to
that
personnel
and
technology
and
an
abundance
of
money,
and
that
allows
you
to
to
solve
a
lot
of
problems
a
lot
faster
than
than
the
normal
time
frame.
So
I
think
that
combination
really
makes
a
difference,
and
you
know
if
I
were
to
just
add
some
other
information
that
may
help
alleviate
some
of
the
skepticism.
F
You
know
at
the
helm
of
a
lot
of
this
research
is
a
african-american
woman,
a
phd
doctor,
kismika
corbett,
who
is
a
who
is
by
dr
fauci's
own
account
her.
You
know
his
his
right-hand
person
in
the
development
of
these
of
these
processes
that
led
to
the
development
of
the
vaccine.
So
again,
just
because
she's,
an
african-american
woman
doesn't
mean
she's
automatically
vetted,
but
in
my
mind
I
know,
she's,
a
brilliant
scientist
and
I'd
like
to
think
that
she
would
not
introduce
things
into
our
community.
F
That
would
be
hurtful
or
harmful
to
our
community.
So
that,
for
me,
gives
me
a
deal
a
significant
amount
of
confidence
when
it
comes
to
this
specific
vaccine.
B
Pretty
group,
let's
let
me
ask
you
kind
of
bluntly
right-
is
talk,
talk
to
our
audience
a
little
bit
about
the
vaccines,
but
my
blood
question
is:
is
the
vaccine
safe,
like
you
know,
you've
seen
on
facebook
and
social
media
people
believe
that
they
take
the
vaccine?
They
will
get
copic
19.
If
they
take
the
vaccine,
they
will
grow.
Two
heads
they
will,
you
know
get
under
a
variety
of
instantaneous
problems
is
to
talk
about
the
two
vaccines.
E
So
a
couple
things
like
that,
chris
added,
when
you
talked
about
the
creation
of
a
vaccine,
it's
an
mrna,
which
means
it
doesn't
have
the
actual
vaccine
in
the
it
doesn't
have
the
actual
organism
in
the
vaccine,
which
is
which
is
phenomenal,
so
they're
not
getting
any
piece
of
the
vaccine.
E
Of
course
we
know
there's
two
two
different
types,
there's
many
types
but
the
two
that
are
on
the
market
now
are
pfizer
and
moderna
and
though
both
very
safe,
94
and
95,
effective
and-
and
I
say,
they're
they're-
very
safe,
I'm
sitting
here,
I
have
the
vaccine,
both
chenis
and
I
my
husband,
are
in
the
study.
I
had
the
vaccine
back
in
september.
E
E
Some
of
my
friends
had
very
very
few
symptoms,
such
as
a
fever
for
a
day,
and
it
went
away
most
of
my
most
people
who
were
in
the
vaccine
study
had
a
sore
arm
for
for
three
to
four
days
afterwards
and
then-
and
that
was
nothing
nothing
else,
so
it
is
very
safe,
and
so,
when
you
compare
getting
the
getting
the
vaccine
compared
to
what's
happened
in
the
past,
look
at
what
happened
with
polio.
I
mean
this
is
this
is
up
at
that
scale?
E
E
The
studies
that
everyone
on
this
panel
can
can
really
talk
about
is
how
very
extensive
getting
into
those
studies
even
doing
the
research
is
now
compared
to
it
was
when
they
were
doing
many
of
the
experiments
in
the
past,
so
very
stringent
and
very,
very,
very
close
monitoring
of
all
of
the
studies
that
are
done
so
it
is
safe,
it's
very
safe.
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
take
it.
We
need
at
least
they
say
70
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
toward
the
direction.
A
Wow,
so
so
towards
that
end,
I
read
an
article
this
week
that
was
in
kaiser
health
news
that
talked
about
the
disparity
between
white
americans
and
black
americans
actually
receiving
the
vaccine
and
I'll
start
with
dr
gloucester.
But
it
said
in
pennsylvania,
1.2
percent
of
white
pennsylvania's
have
been
vaccinated
so
far,
but
only
0.3
percent
of
black
pennsylvania's.
A
Can
you
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
what's
happening?
I
mean,
given
that
we
know
on
one
end,
we're
more
likely
to
catch
it,
we're
more
likely
to
die
from
it,
but
that
only
0.3
percent
of
us
have
been
vaccinated.
Can
you
talk
about
a
little
bit
about
what's
happening
with
the
rollout
and
also
what
role
community
health-based
centers
can
play
in
expediting
the
vaccine
getting
into
our
community
sure.
D
I'll
take
the
second
part
first
in
that
I'm
thankful
that
our
community
health
centers,
which
are
in
underserved
areas
throughout
the
state,
have
been
included
in
the
rollout
of
the
vaccine,
and
so
I
was
very
encouraged
to
learn
that
early
on
that
we
would
be
a
part
of
it
and
that
helped
me
to
answer
questions
to
others
around
the
health
equity
issue
as
far
as
the
distribution
and
roll
out
of
it,
and
that
I
had
a
high
level
of
confidence
that
that
was
a
focus.
D
I
really
believe
you
know
to
the
first
part
of
your
question.
The
issue
around
african
americans
actually
getting
vaccinated
points
to
what
we've
all
been
just
talking
about.
The
fact
that
if
you
talk
to
the
average
white
person,
whether
they
are
concerned
around
safety
being
experimented
on
being
injected
with
a
chip
of
some
kind
to
you
know
even
hearing
about
something
you
know
spiritual
in
the
mark
of
the
devil.
I've
I've
heard
all
of
those
things
in
the
black
community.
D
So
there
was
just
from
day
one
just
a
a
strong
level
of
mistrust
in
our
communities.
So
I
don't
think
that
it
was
surprising
to
hear
as
the
vaccine
rolled
out
that
not
a
lot
of
us
got
the
vaccine
as
as
again
pastor
burgess
has
mentioned-
and
I
was
saying
this
in
in
calls
the
community
health
centers
and
also
black
equity
coalition.
We
have
meetings
with
dr
levine
with
the
state
and
a
couple
of
months
ago.
I
I
said
this
when
there
was
a
question
around
equity.
D
I
said
your
bigger
question
is,
or
your
biggest
concern
needs
to
be.
You
can
get
a
million
doses
into
our
community,
but
if
no
one
takes
it,
then
it's
not
going
to
help.
So
we
really
have
to
ramp
up
our
efforts.
I
was
saying
this
months
ago
around
acceptance
of
a
vaccine
and
that
to
to
one
extent,
I
think
some
would
say
is
is
somewhat
insulting
that
somehow
in
in
too
much
you're
gonna
make
up
for
all
the
mistrust
over.
D
You
know
50
years
and
everything,
but
at
least
you
you
need
to
start
addressing
it
and
listening
to
people
and
trying
to
you
know
help
with
those
concerns.
I
know
with
my
own
organization
being
an
organization
of
130
employees
and,
having
said
that,
most
of
the
minorities
we
had
question
and
answer
sessions
and
and
sat
down
and
talked
about
it
and
allowed
others
to
voice
their
questions
and
concerns,
and
quickly
saw
you
know
what
was
initially,
maybe
only
30
percent
of
my
medical
staff
being
sure
they
wanted
it.
D
You
know
before
the
vaccine
rolled
out
to
once
it
came
out
to
somewhere
around
80
percent
of
the
medical
staff.
Saying
yes,
I
want
it,
but
that
was
you
know
a
case
of
well.
You
can't
just
you
know,
deliver
the
vaccine
and
say
who
wants
it?
You
got
to
start
talking
about.
You
know
all
these
issues
that
have
that
were
already
on
the
table
before
the
vaccine
came
out
to
help
to
improve
the
acceptance
of
it,
and
some
of
those
things
have
been.
D
You
know
the
the
great
points
that
dr
conte
and
dr
larkin
pedigree
have
mentioned,
that
to
talk
about
the
myths
and
and
allow
that
information
to
come
from
trusted
individuals
like
other
black
physicians,
to
talk
to
our
minority
community
and
and
also
talk
about
the
fact
that
an
african
american
woman
actually
helped
develop
the
vaccine
and
people
say
wow.
I
didn't
know
that
and
then.
D
Lastly,
the
fact
that,
as
you
know,
dr
pettigrew
has
mentioned-
and
I
I
I
know
that
you
know
some
of
us
on
this
panel
and
likewise
myself
got
the
vaccine
to
be
able
to
tell
people.
Yes,
I
got
it,
I'm
fine.
I
think
that
that
helps
tremendously,
because
some
individuals
have
have
that's
the
last
thing.
They've
said
well,
I'm
gonna
wait
and
see.
You
know
when
I
see
someone
that
I
know
get
it
and
see
how
things
turn
out
and
and
that
at
least
they
got
to
that
point.
D
But
I
think
we
got
a
lot
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
I
think
that
that
it
is
it
involves.
You
know
the
people
like
us
on
this
panel
and
other
trusted
members
of
our
community.
Just
working
tirelessly
on
this
issue,
because
I
really
think
that
that's
at
the
heart
of
the
such
a
small
number
of
individuals
within
the
black
community
getting
it
for,
for
the
most
part
there
might
be
distribution
problems
as
we
know,
there's
distribution
problems
across
the
state,
but
such
a
a
big
disparity.
C
I
think
just
to
add
on
to
dr
gloucester's
point
the
distribution
piece
of
it.
If
you,
if
you
look
at
what
was
one
a
or
those
initial
distribution,
it
was
the
health
care
workers.
When
you
look
at
the
disparities
on
who
are
those
front-line
health
care
workers
like
physicians,
like
nurses,
and
when
you
have
disparities
in
racial
inequities
based
on
education,
from
systemic
racism
based
on
our
schools,
and
you
have
less
african-americans
less
minorities
in
the
healthcare
field
and
if
that's
who
they
were
targeting
for
their
initial
vaccination.
C
B
Years
ago
I
was
actually
in
a
social
setting
with
a
friend
of
mine,
a
black
physician,
and
he
said
something
that
I
it
stunned
me
and
it
struck
me.
This
was
a
long
time
ago,
but
he
he
mentioned
how
as
a
black
physician,
although
he
had
black
patients,
he
had
some
black
patients
who
would
not
come
to
him.
B
You
know
black
people
rather
who
would
not
come
to
him
because
he
was
an
african-american
physician,
and
so
because
of
that
you
know,
I
decided
that
I
was
going
to
make
sure
that
I
had
an
african-american
physician,
an
african-american
dentist,
an
african-american
lawyer
that
those
who,
who
empower
me
and
equip
me
and
take
care
of
me,
are
all
people
of
color.
B
I
guess
I
want
to,
and
I
want
to
start
with
all
I
want
all
of
you
to
talk
about
this,
because
I
think
it's
something
we
need
to
at
least
lay
on
the
table.
Why?
And
it's
a
really
a
two-part
question:
why
do
african-americans
have
this
distrust
of
of
the
medical
profession?
They
have
a
distrust
for,
certainly
you
know:
research,
medical
research
institutions,
but
then
honestly,
sometimes
black
people
have
a
distrust
of
black
doctors
and
and
and
and
why?
Why
do
you
think
that
is
it
just
racism?
F
You
know,
prior
to
tuskegee,
there
you
know
was
what
was
called
the
medical
plantation,
where
you
know
individuals,
even
even
one
who
is
heralded
as
being
one
of
the
fathers
of
modern
gynecology
conducted
experiments
on
slave
women
without
their
permission
and
doctors
would
go
from
plantation
to
plantation
and
state
that
they
had
these
magical
cures.
That
would
make
slaves
more
productive
in
the
field
and
more
fertile,
and
so
it
started
well
before
that
skepticism
and
that
fear
started
long
before
tuskegee.
F
Then-
and
it
was
a
public
health
problem,
largely
among
white
america,
but
they
didn't
have
a
cure,
so
they
went
and
they
found
this
large
population
of
almost
300
black
men
in
tuskegee
who
had
syphilis
and
they
promised
that
they
would
be
getting
free
medical
treatment,
burial
insurance
and
free
meals,
all
in
exchange
for
getting
treatment
for
what
they
were
telling
them
was
called
bad
blood.
You
know
back,
then
you
either
had
bad
blood
or
you
had
consumption.
F
No
one
really
knew
what
either
one
was
so
the
experiment
was
supposed
to
last
for
six
years,
but
they
found
the
cure
or
the
standard
of
care
treatment
at
that
time,
which
was
penicillin
about
three
years
in
and
they
never
ex.
They
never
introduced
the
treatment
to
these
299
black
men
and
they
just
allowed
them
to
go
through
the
natural
disease
progression
of
syphilis,
and
they
took
notes
and
that's
why
a
six-year
study
became
a
40-year
study
and
then
until
1972
until
someone
blew
the
whistle.
F
The
process
that
exists
now
is
very
transparent,
as
well
as
independent
of
government
and
drug
companies
and
their
interests,
and
so
you
know,
when
you
put
all
of
that
together,
it's
a
matter
of
how
do
you
package
that
and
communicate
it
through
vettable,
reliable
resources
within
our
community.
So
where
are
our
already
existing
help
resources?
F
The
church,
for
example,
is
a
help
resource
that
has
been
used
and
studied
and
shown
to
be
very
effective
in
communicating
information
on
a
whole
wealth
of
info
of
of
subjects,
including
healthcare.
So
we've
got
to
be
able
to
package
the
truth
in
a
way
that
it's
coming
from
a
mouthpiece
that
is
viewed
as
reliable
and
credible
and
and
that's
the
challenge,
because
that
means
you
know,
we've
gotta
be
creative.
It's
I
mean
a
lot
of.
F
This
is
a
lot
like
ministry
and
I'm
sure
pastor
burgess
can
attest
it's
a
lot
like
ministry
is
trying
to
introduce
in
information
resources
to
individuals
that
you
feel
strongly
about
in
a
way
that
makes
them
want
to
buy
in,
and
you
have
to
be
creative
in
that
in
in
that
approach.
So
you
know
how
we
do
it.
That's
that's
the
tough
challenge,
but
people
on
this
call
and
the
people
that
we
work
with
who
are
like-minded
and
committed.
I
think
we
have
the
resources
here
in
pittsburgh.
To
do
it.
F
We've
got
the
gateway,
medical
society.
We've
got
a
fairly
large
group
of
african-american
physicians
and
public
health
workers
and
and
leaders
in
in
industry
and
politics
and
business
who
can
help.
You
know
undergird
our
communities
and
solve
these
problems
together.
E
E
I
wanted
to
kind
of
piggyback
on
what
chris
said,
because
you
know
we
can
talk
about
400
years
of
slave.
We
can
talk
about
all
of
the
things
that
have
done
been
done
to
us
in
this
country
around
medicine,
but
you
know
my
husband
and
I
spent
some
time
on
campus.
He
was
the
vice
president.
At
tuskegee
university
I
took
care
of
of
the
students
there,
but
watched
many
of
the
women
and
and
children
of
these
men
who
had
been
born.
E
Looking
at
all
of
the
defects
that
occurred,
I
worked
in
john,
a
hospital
where
they
had
still
had
the
iron
machine
in
a
a
place
where
you
know
people
were
just
mistreated.
We
lived
in
in
the
dibble
house,
dr
dibble
was
responsible
for
all
those
tuskegee
experiments,
it's
still
very
close
to
our
history,
and
so
you
know
it's
very
hard
to
come
away
from
that
thinking
that
people
are
going
to
treat
you
well,
I
mean
you
know
less
than
10
years
ago
they
were
sterilizing
women,
latino
women
in
the
prisons
in
california.
E
This
trust
is
all
over
the
place
because
the
medical
profession
has
not
put
themselves
out
there
to
be
trustworthy
in
many
situations
on
the
average
but
generally
and
over
the
overview
of
what
medicine
does
is
really
treat
patients
with
integrity
and
really
we
do
take
care
of
patients,
whether
we're
black
or
white.
We
really
have
taken
an
oath
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
take
care
of
our
patients
and
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
best
care
possible.
So
then
the
second
question
you
have,
but
there's
still
this
distrust.
E
So
let's
weigh
that.
So
we
talk
about
what
happened
with
tuskegee
and
all
the
things
that
happened
in
the
past
and
how
people
don't
distrust
us,
but
yet
in
our
hospital
systems
today
many
of
us
are
treated
with
disrespect.
Many
of
us
are
not
given
given
the
proper
treatment
that
we
should
do
right
today.
You
know
you
can
walk.
E
You
can
be
admitted
to
a
hospital
today
and
be
treated
like
you
were
a
black
slave
400
years
ago,
as
in
some
of
these
institutions,
whether
you
have
an
unconscious
bias
or
you
have
just
you
know-
outright
bias.
People
still
feel
that
feel
that
sometimes,
when
they
go
into
the
hospital
and
many
times
they
don't
access
care.
So
when
you
have
access
care,
you're
not
going
to
access
it,
because
you
don't
trust
the
system,
what
we
want
to
do
and
everybody
on
this
call
has
been
doing
their
entire
lives
is
trying
to
change
that
way.
E
Letting
people
know
that
you
can
trust
the
system.
There
are
people
in
the
system
who
will
take
care
of
you
and
they
don't
have
to
look
like
us,
but
many
of
them
do
look
like
us,
because
we're
leading
the
we're
leading
this
this
march
to
make
sure
that
you
unders
that
we
understand
the
science.
You
understand
the
signs.
Please
trust
what
we're
telling
you,
because
things
have
changed,
we've
moved
a
long
way
from
this
whole
issue
of
what
happened
as
it
relates
to
the
tuskegee
experience.
E
E
It's
gotten
better
of
why
why
black
patients,
don't
trust
black
physicians,
and
it
really
is
that
brainwashing
if
you
think
that
I
am
less
than
if
you
think
that
I
am
not
as
smart
as
if,
if
you
have
been
told
your
whole
life
that
you
yourself
wasn't
worthy
right.
E
So
they
would
rather
go
to
someone
who
they
think
is
brighter,
who
they
think
can
give
them
better
care
and
who
and
that's
why
they
distrust
black
people
and
they
choose
choose
white
white
people
to
go
to,
but
the.
But
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
trust
the
science.
We
know
the
science
we're
close
to
the
science
as
it
relates
to
this
the
virus
and
the
vaccine.
C
Just
to
piggyback
off
of
what
dr
larkins
pedigree
talked
about,
that
that
is,
racism
right,
dr
kamar
jones
kind
of
broke
it
down
into
three
kind
of
structures.
There's
that
institutionalized
racism.
That's
like
that
structural
barriers.
You
know
the
inability
for
us
to
get
into
medical
school,
the
structures
that
were
set
up
in
place,
and
then
you
have
your
personally
mediated.
C
But
then
you
also
have
you
know
internalized
racism,
and
I
think
there's
not
a
lot
of
education
about
how
much
impact
are
the
system
and
structural
and
personal
mediated
racism,
and
you
continue
to
say
that
and
people
start
reflecting
on
themselves
and
seeing
themselves
as
less
than
so
they're
going
to
see
another
black
position
as
less
than
it
just
erodes
that
individual
sense
of
value
and
the
only
way
that
we
can
combat
that
is
through
education,
education
on
all
levels,
education
of
health
professions-
about.
C
Why
is
their
mistrust
education
on
community
level
about
you,
know
racism
and
structural
racism
and
that
there
are
trusted
individuals?
But
it
takes
us
going
out
to
the
community
to
establish
that
trust,
to
build
relationships
and
and
to
have
programs
like
this
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
speak
truth
to
what's
going
on.
B
I
I
can't
help,
but
use
this
moment
doc.
Gloucester
we're
talking
about
bias.
I
think
one
of
the
best
kept
secrets
in
the
black
community
is
actually
I'm
hillary
in
homewood.
B
I
think
people
do
not
understand
the
range
of
services
that
you
offer
that
you
are
either
you
know
you
may
be
the
first
or
second
largest
in
terms
of
a
budget
institution
in
that
community
and
that
you
know
they
don't
have
to
go
to
upmc
or
to
allegheny
general
hospital
to
get
care
or
to
there
there
are
things
they
can
get
right
in
their
own
backyard
and
so
vote
for
kovic
in
general,
dr
gloucester,
if
you
just
kind
of
give
a
sense
of
the
the
services
that
these
community-based
health
centers
give,
and
yours
in
particular,.
D
Sure
absolutely
yeah,
first
of
all,
am
hillary
is
part
of
a
corporation
of
health
centers
we're
under
the
umbrella
of
primary
care
health
services.
D
Amillery
was
our
first
health
center
established
back
in
1977,
after
it
being
named
previously
the
homewood
neighborhood
health
center
that
started
in
the
late
60s
one
of
the
first
community
health
centers
in
the
nation,
fairly
qualified
community
health
centers
in
the
nation,
but
that
corporation
has
expanded
to
now
nine
community
health
center
sites
throughout
the
county
in
mckeesport,
braddock,
homestead,
hazelwood,
the
west
end,
the
hill
district,
east
liberty
and
wilkinsburg
as
well
as
homewood.
D
So
really
that's
the
the
first
message
that
you
just
our
organization,
has
a
health
center
in
most
of
the
neighborhoods
throughout
the
county,
and
then
you
have
really
six
other
community
health
center
organizations
throughout
the
county
so
that
the
the
services
are
available.
D
Second
thing
I'd
like
to
emphasize
is
to
your
question:
community
federally
qualified
health
centers
are
tasked
with
being
completely
comprehensive,
so
we
not
only
offer
medical
care
for
newborn
babies
through
the
elderly,
age
ranges,
but
also
a
complete,
comprehensive
array
that
would
include
women's
health.
That
would
include
dentistry.
We
have
dentists
and
dental
care
at
our
sites.
We
have
behavioral
health
and
therapists
and
and
access
to
those
services
we
at
our
military
also
have
a
podiatrist
as
well.
D
So
someone
specializing
in
foot
care,
we
have
our
own
pharmacy,
and
this
is
a
great.
You
know
service
that
that's
a
secret.
I
think
to
many
in
that
not
being
a
commercial
pharmacy,
those
medications
that
people
would
have
to
pay
for
out
of
pocket
or
even
buy
insurance.
The
the
prices
are
are
much
lower
because
there's
no
middle
man
we're
not
in
the
pharmacy
business.
If
you
will
we're
in
the
business
of
serving
the
community,
we
have
our
own
lab.
D
We
have
our
own
social
services
team
that
goes
out
into
the
community
and
so
really
we're
talking
about
just
a
total
health
care
service
delivery
that
we
have
again
throughout
the
county
and,
as
you
said,
our
military
is
our
headquarters.
It's
our
our.
You
know
best
kept
secret
right
there
in
homewood
and
one
of
the
first
community
health
centers.
A
F
F
There
was
likely
a
mutation
that
allowed
this
zoonotic
transfer
from
a
bat
to
a
human
in
the
first
place,
so
so
viral
viruses
in
particular
mutations,
are
not
uncommon
and
they
will
there
will
be
more
vaccine
or
more
viral
mutations
that
will
occur
within
this
strain
within
this
family
of
viruses,
so
they're
not
unexpected,
but
in
terms
of
how
this
vaccine
works,
this
vaccine
works
not
by
killing
the
virus,
but
this
vaccine
works
by
allowing
us
to
produce
antibodies
to
the
spike
protein,
which
is
on
the
surface
of
the
virus,
which
doesn't
seem
to
have
changed
significantly.
F
So,
although
there
there
are
teams
working
on
the
contingencies
that
may
be
required
once
this
vaccine,
once
the
virus
mutates
and
is
no
longer
susceptible
to
the
vaccine.
There's
no
evidence
right
now
that
the
the
susceptibility
has
changed.
You
know
some
of
the
estimates.
F
I've
seen
would
say
it's
going
to
take
several
years
worth
of
mutations
before
that
happens,
and
then
I've
read
some
in
other
places
where
it
may
not
happen
at
all
as
long
as
the
spike
protein
isn't
affected,
because
that's
what
this
vaccine
targets,
this
vaccine
is
actually
allowing
your
cells
and
my
cells
to
manifest
the
spike
appearance
to
them,
so
that
our
immune
system
really
sees
a
mimic
of
the
virus
in
some
of
our
own
cells
and
so
that
when
the
human
body
then
is
exposed
to
the
actual
virus,
our
immune
system
believes
it's
seen
the
virus
before
and
therefore
it
already
has
antibodies
against
it.
F
So
you
know
so
there
are
some
strains
and
I
think
what
makes
it
more
transmissible
is
the
fact
that
you
know
the
vex.
The
virus
is
trying
to
develop
strategies
that
it
can
hide
within
a
living
organism
and
not
be
destroyed
by
the
organism's
immune
system,
and
so
this
transmissibility
is
how
the
virus
survives.
D
F
D
To
piggyback
onto
that,
I
think
you
know
outstanding
explanation
by
dr
conte
as
far
as
the
comprehensive
nature,
but
again
what
I've
heard
that
that
even
emphasizes
even
more
fully
what
he
said
is
that
they
have
actually
proven
to
your
question.
Councilman
level
they've
proven
that
the
vaccine
antibodies
produce
from
getting
the
vaccine
as
well
as
antibodies
from
having
the
disease
have
been
shown
to
kill
the
virus,
so
we're
certain
that
it
that
it
does
work
at
this
point.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Micah
campbell
smith
has
been
monitoring
questions
from
people
watching
online,
so
I
want
to
bring
her
on
to
be
able
to
ask
some
of
those
questions,
but,
as
she
comes
on,
I
do
have
a
question
doc
for
dr
tracy
conte,
given
that
you're
a
family
physician
for
those
of
us
for
those
families
where
we
have
children
in
school,
as
pps
begins
talking
about
opening
up
in
february,
potentially,
as
other
schools
are
talking
about
hybrid
models,
what
advice
or
what?
A
What
do
you
think
we,
as
parents
should
be
giving
consideration
to
as
we
potentially
look
at
sending
our
children
back
to
school.
C
To
know
that
the
the
school
spread
has
actually
been
relatively
low,
there
have
been
schools
that
have
been
open
throughout
the
covet
pandemic
and
there's
been
very
little
school
spread.
But
it's
important
that
you
talk
to
your
children
about
continuing
to
wear
their
masks,
ensuring
that
your
school
district
is
utilizing
social,
distancing.
So
they're,
you
know
decreasing
the
amount
of
children
in
classrooms
if
they're
making
accommodations
for
that,
making
sure
that
you
know
there
is
hand
sanitizer
in
use
if
they're
unable
to
wash
their
hands
in
between
and
just
that
education
around.
C
Those
three
things
masking
hand
sanitizing
as
well
as
social
distancing,
is
important.
What
we?
What
we
have
seen
and
what
I
have
seen,
is
a
lot
of
times
that
happens
in
the
classrooms
and
then
kids
get
on
buses
and
they
take
their
math
down.
C
And
so
it's
really
important
that
every
child
be
given
the
education
about
the
importance
of
keeping
their
mask
on
for
the
entirety
of
their
trip,
and
you
know
ensuring
that
you
know
that
parents
also
are
masking
and
when
they're
picking
up
their
children
and
providing
a
good
example
for
their
kids.
A
C
Yeah,
and
so
that
is
still
the
recommendation,
you
know
there
have
been
kids
that
are
still
doing
sports
and-
and
they
have
been
shown
that
you
know
there
is
also
a
little
spread
with
with
those.
But
you
still
want
to
ensure
that
before
they're
going
to
sports
that
they
are
washing
their
hands
when
they
come
home
that
they're
showering
washing
their
hands
and
being
safe,
can
you
completely
eliminate
the
risk
of
covid?
C
F
That
doesn't
mean
you
have
to
know
all
the
information,
but
I
think
the
language
that
you
use
is
that
you
need
to
tell
me
what's
going
on
with
you
know
what
what's
the
talk
around
covid
among
your
friends,
you
know,
and
so
so
that
you
can
begin
to
help
break
down
some
of
those
myths,
because
these
kids
oftentimes
are
do
not
believe
that
this
virus
is
what
it
is.
So
they'll
go
to
school,
where
it's
harder
for
that
for
those
practices
to
be
monitored.
F
Just
because
you
know
there's,
you
know
dozens
and
dozens
of
young
people
and
a
much
smaller
number
of
adult
supervisors,
and
then
they
will
also,
you
know,
begin
to
come
up
with
strategies
to
gather
right.
They
will
gather,
and
so
as
a
parent.
You
have
to
to
to
really
be
engaged
in
this
in
this
effort,
no
more
or
less
than
normal.
But
I'm
just
saying
just
some
of
my
experiences
about
some
of
the
spread.
F
Events
that
have
occurred
in
our
county
have
been
from
students
having
impromptu
or
non-parent,
sanctioned
parties
and
gatherings
whether
it's
for
graduation
homecoming
whatever
it
was,
and
they're
they're
doing
these
things.
Because
of
the
chatter
that
they're
that
they're
engaged
in
amongst
themselves.
That
implies
that
covet
isn't
real,
and
so
I
would
encourage
parents.
This
is
another
great
opportunity
for
parents
and
guardians
to
become
more
engaged
in
those
conversations
and
they're
hard
to
have.
F
But
you
know,
I
think
that
your
your
children
are
will
appreciate
it
because
deep
down,
a
lot
of
them
do
want
reliable
information
from
reliable
sources
and,
if
we're
not
providing
it
because
we
assume
they're
getting
it
from
school,
then
they
end
up
going
to
other
sources
for
information,
and
so
it
also
helps
us
keep
keep
ourselves
current
with
at
least
some
some
important
information
about
health
and
safety
in
terms
of
masks,
and
you
know
reminding
your
children,
you
know
when
you're
wearing
that
mask
it's
got
to
cover
your
nose
and
your
mouth.
F
You
know
here's
some
hand,
sanitizer
show
me
your
backpack,
you
got
some
hand
sanitizer
in
there.
Here's
a
bottle
make
sure
you
use
it.
You
know
just
simple
little
things
sending
them
a
text
message.
You
know
they're
on
their
phone
three
hours
out
of
every
day,
so
chances
are,
if
you
send
them
a
text
or
send
them
something.
They're
gonna
read
it
and
they
may
never
acknowledge
you
or
say
thank
you,
but
they'll.
Remember
it
and
they
may
put
it
into
practice
and
that
might
make
the
difference
between
them.
F
You
know
putting
themselves
in
harm's
way
and
bringing
something
home
that
affects
the
multi-generational
household,
that
they
live
in
or
them
stepping
away
and
saying.
You
know
what
I
think
I'll
eat
over
here
by
myself
today,
because
nobody
at
my
table
right
now
wants
to
wear
a
mask.
So
I
would
encourage
that
conversation.
G
So
we
have
a
few
questions.
The
first
is:
is
there
a
strategy
for
alma
hillary
to
partner
with
the
university
of
pittsburgh
health
center.
D
The
the
first
partnership
I
can
tell
you
about
is
dr
conte
and
I
were
engaged
to
a
black
equity
coalition
for
our
communities
and
that's
one
in
which
our
organizations
have
pledged
a
partnership,
also
to
know
that
our
hillary
and
primary
care
health
services
we're
absolutely
engaged
with
in
partnerships
both
with
upmc
and
allegheny
health
network,
really
all
the
health
systems,
and
and
that
I
have
a
firm
belief
as
a
ceo.
D
That
really
the
strategy
moving
forward
is
one
in
which
all
of
us
all
of
the
community
organizations
that
we
look
at
how
we
can
better
help
our
communities
by
instead
of
in
the
past,
being
siloed
in
our
tireless
work
and
doing
a
great
job.
But
we're
working
all
by
ourselves.
But
moving
forward
to
engage
in
as
many
partnerships
and
and
as
the
black
equity
coalitions.
Also
really
pushing.
D
Is
the
the
notion
of
a
hub
and
smoke
model
where
we
have
really
a
comprehensive
network
of
providers
working
together
in
our
communities,
and
so
the
health
systems
are
definitely
a
part
of
that.
And
yes,
primary
care.
Health
services
is
involved
with
that.
G
Thank
you,
and
we
also
had
when
the
vaccine
is
available,
will
you
be
able
to
access
it
similar
to
a
flu
shot
or
how?
How
will
vaccine
distribution
work.
E
I
can
take
that
question
just
to
make
sure
that
everybody
knows
that,
of
course,
we
have
been
as
a
state
really.
D
E
Many
other
states,
as
it
relates
to
the
rule
out
of
the
vaccine,
and
so
that
we
have
had
to
come
up
with
our
own
plan
working
with
the
public
health
department
in
many
of
the
institutions
that
are
around
us
at
allegheny
health
network.
We
are
still
taking
care
of
of
our
1a
constituents,
even
though
we've
moved
all
the
way
down
to
1c,
because
the
government,
the
government
governor,
said
that
we
should
take
care
of
those
patients
who
are
16
to
65
that
have
comorbidities
as
well
as
those
over
65
years
of
age.
E
The
issue
is
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
the
vaccine
that
we
need,
so
we
have
a
plan
and
we
have
a
plan
that
will
take
care
of
all
of
the
all
of
our
our
patients
throughout
the
city
and
the
county.
But
the
issue
is
we
don't
have
the
vaccine
so
as
it
relates
to
taking
care
of
other
reps
and
minorities
and
how
you'll
get
the
vaccine
we
have.
We
have
mobile
mobile
units
that
will
be
throughout
the
city.
From
the
ahn
side,
we
have
contracted
with
pnc.
E
I've
partnered
with
dr
conte,
who
has
also
lined
up
a
number
of
churches
for
us
that
we've
worked
with
before
from
the
allegheny
health
network
side,
to
make
sure
that
we
can
use
parking
lots
in
order
to
have
our
mobile
units
in
order
to
dispense
the
the
vaccine,
but
at
the,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
sticking
to
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
most
the
individuals
with
the
highest
risk
of
actually
perishing
are
going
to
be
taken
care
of.
First.
E
So
all
of
our
frontline
workers,
all
of
our
our
aged
individuals,
who
are
75
and
above
and
then
we're
moving
down
that
moving
down
to
take
care
of
everyone
as
we're
supposed
to
when
we
get
the
vaccine
all
over
the
city.
Even
upsc,
I
mean
sure
that
they
have
a
plan.
When
we
get
the
vaccine,
we
have
a
plan
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
our
communities
get
the
vaccine.
E
So
it
won't
be
similar
to
the
flu
most
the
time
when
you
get
the
flu
vaccine
that
you
can
take
it
and
you
can
go
remember
you
have
to
be
monitored
for
a
period
of
time
once
you
get
the
vaccine,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
leaves
the
facilities
safe,
so
it
will
be
organized
and
we'll
make
sure
it's
available
for
everybody.
C
And
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
black
equity
coalition,
because
that
is
something
that
we're
actively
working
on:
to
try
to
partner
with
h
and
with
upmc,
with
the
allegheny
county
health
department,
with
the
pharmacy
to
ensure
that
our
communities
have
equity.
With
this
with
regards
to
distribution
in
the
vaccine,
and
that
there
is
a
group
making
sure
that
we
are
providing
oversight
to
ensure
that
our
communities
in
homewood
our
communities
in
mckeesport,
our
communities
in
hazelwood,
are
all
have
access
to
vaccines.
D
And
the
last
thing
I'll
add
to
that
is,
I
think
the
good
news
is
that
the
federally
qualified
health
centers
are
are
part
of
the
effort
and
and
where
you
would
be
a
patient
and
to
piggyback
on
to
what
dr
larkins
pettigrew
said
as
we
are.
Yes,
following
a
tiered
approach,
but
a
patient
from
one
of
our
health
centers
and
you
fall
into
that
category.
D
Yes,
you
can
call
and
and
schedule
an
appointment
to
get
the
vaccine,
and
we've
already
started
to
do
that,
but
also
piggyback
on
what
dr
larkins
pedigree
said,
and
that
is
that,
right
now
the
the
issue
is
supply,
because
the
supply
is
just
barely
trickling
in
and
we're
getting
bombarded
with
phone
calls
and
some
are
large
practices
that
have
200.
You
know
people
in
their
medical
practice
and
they
want
to
know.
Can
we
vaccinate
them?
D
We're
also
getting
individuals
again
from
our
community
that
fall
into
these
categories
and
want
a
vaccine,
and
so
part
of
our
plan
involves
number
one,
those
who
are
currently
our
patients
you
can
call
and
and
get
on
a
list
to
be
vaccinated.
D
Those
who
are
not
our
current
patients
we're
going
to
be
having
vaccine
distribution
days
and
events
to
vaccinate
in
our
community.
But,
lastly,
the
differences
dr
larkins
pettigrew
said
again
is
that
we
have
to
follow
these
guidelines
as
far
as
safety
and
and
yes,
you
have
to
to
wait
at
least
15
minutes
after
the
vaccine.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
that
information.
This
was
very
informative
for
me
and
I
hope
for
all
those
paying
attention
we
are
going
to
do
everything
we
can
to
ensure
that
this
video
is
seen
by
as
many
within
our
community
as
possible.
I
believe
you
all
answered
a
lot
of
really
pertinent
and
important
questions
for
us
and
gave
and
provided
a
lot
of
clarity
as
to
why
we
should
actually
go,
get
vaccinated
and
take
the
vaccine
when
it
is
available.
A
Unfortunately,
that
is
all
the
time
we
have
for
today's
show
and
we
want
to
respect
your
time
and
we
thank
you
for
the
time
you've.
Given
us,
we
do
want
to
thank
all
our
guests,
starting
with
dr
margaret
pettingro,
the
inaugural
senior
vice
president
chief
clinical
diversity
officer
for
allegheny
health
network,
dr
glosser,
the
chief
executive
officer
of
the
primary
care
health
network,
dr
christopher
conti,
an
emergency
medical
physician
and
doctor
and
trace,
and
dr
tracy
conti,
a
family
medical
physician.
B
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
watching
and
participating
in
this
town
hall
meeting.
Remember
you
can
watch
this
show
on
facebook,
the
city's
youtube
channel
or
the
city's
cable
channel
a
new
meeting
will
occur
every
wednesday.
I
also
want
to
all.
We
are
all
people
of
faith,
and
I
wanted
to
say
one
personal
note.
B
My
own
church
has
not
been
open
since
march
and
that's
under
the
advice
and
direction
of
of
reverend
dr
conde
and
I
I
know,
and
I'm
telling
you
that
churches
mostly
should
not
be
open
at
this
time.
Hopefully
in
may
or
june
we
can
be
safer,
but
the
way
we
do
church,
especially
black
churches,
it
is
a
recipe
for
disaster.
