ITT Staff Picks: - In an interview for Vox with Sigal Samuel, Kesiha spoke about vaccine hesitancy among communities of color: “It’s not that people of color just don’t trust medicine. It’s that medicine hasn’t shown itself to be trustworthy to people of color.” - Debora Dinz and Giselle Carino write about the geopolitics of immunoprivilege for El Pais’ Opinion section. - Ranna Ayyub writes for Time Magazine about the COVID-19 crisis in India and the Prime Minister’s failure to lead during this second wave.
