Moderna, the first US company to begin Phase 3 clinical trials of a coronavirus vaccine in the US, increased its enrollment of minorities this week, but is still not even close to the levels requested by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
So far, 24% of study participants"are from communities of color," according to postings on the company's website and Twitter account. Last week, the company said 18% of the participants were minorities, which they said included"Black or African American, Latinx, American Indian, and Alaskan Native." To be representative, vaccine trials should enroll minorities in percentages similar to their representation in the population.
Overall, Moderna's recruitment increased significantly last week, from 13,194 to 17,458 participants. If the company continues to recruit at the same rate as last week, it could fully enroll the trial by mid-September. Enrollment means recruiting the participants and giving them their first shots, with half getting the vaccine and half getting a placebo -- a shot that does nothing. Four weeks later, everyone gets a second injection.
Stop castigating people of color. Stop using us as political toys. You don't care for us.
