“People don’t seem to understand that just b/c some folks don’t wear masks, don’t want the shot, don’t listen to the media or live in fear…,” the daughter of boxing legend Muhammad Ali wrote. “it doesn’t mean they don’t ‘believe’ the virus is real or think they can’t get it! They know it was created to harm humanity!”
Shit like this is why the COVID vaccination rates are so low in the black community. pic.twitter.com/q66oQEfiDK

She went on to note, “They simply choose to build up & trust their own immune system like they have been doing all their life. If they get it, they will deal with it!! It’s a God given choice. I know, this kind of faith is impossible for some to comprehend. But lean not on your own understanding.”
“Before you claim they are ‘putting others in danger,’ you should do your own research to learn if that’s actually true. You can’t change anyone but yourself, So YOU DO YOU!” so she concluded.
People, unsurprisingly, were not having her comments. “S**t like this is why the COVID vaccination rates are so low in the black community,” one person noted o Twitter. Another person commented, “There is a massive disconnect in having more ‘faith’ in your immune system to fight an incredibly infectious and for Black people disproportionately more deadly COVID-19 virus, than to fight the sniffles and a sore arm you might get from the COVID-19 vaccine.”
“Not Laila Ali being pretty and dumb with that anti-vaccine statement disguised as a faith lesson,” someone else slammed Laila. “It’s people like Laila Ali that will post something reckless about Covid but her doctor will come see about her, you don’t have that luxury smh #lailaAli #COVIDIOTS,” another user wrote.
Calling Laila “a whole fool,” one person took aim at her, “i’m tired of famous black folk throwing around their ignorance about this virus and encourgaging other black folk to not trust science which leaves so many of us for dead!!! look around you! so we should trust boxers, actors, comedians? shut up!”

It's already happening. Many unvaccinated black people are presenting to ERs with COVID 19 symptoms & being sent back home, by the time they come back, they're barely salvageable if at all, while their white counterparts are being admitted. In many places, the staff is picking
