This way of thinking is literally killing people.

In the US, among both working class Republicans and working class black communities, many people decided not to get a Covid vaccine because they do not trust the group of people telling them to get it.

The identity of the people telling them to get the vaccine is completely irrelevant. The reason to get the vaccine is the results of the clinical trials demonstrating that it was safe and effective.

Do those groups have good reason to not trust the kinds of people representing "science"? I am sure they do.

But they do not have to trust those people as individuals. They just need to trust the outcomes of the trials.
