BREAKING: a new MIT study using machine learning methods suggests that COVID-19 vaccines may be less effective for racial minorities.
Specifically, Asian-Americans were 274x more likely to not respond to the vaccine vs. white participants, and Black-Americans were 34x more likely to not respond.
Vaccine effectiveness by race:
White: 99.97%
Black: 98.80%
Asian-American: 90.41%
