Tragic story. Open records requests found emails that indicated that officials worried that Drene Keye’s death could worsen “vaccine hesitancy” among minorities. Keye’s family is conducting their own investigation to discover the truth.
I have a feeling that treating a black family this way isn’t going to go over well within the black community. Refusing to acknowledge the possibility of a link between the vaccine and her death, refusing an autopsy, and instructing officials to respond to questions about the lack of an autopsy with, “a full autopsy was not needed in order to ascertain whether the death was related to the vaccination”, is outrageous, a scandal.
