RFK Jr.'s answer isn’t “dangerous”—multiple studies demonstrate that antibody responses to vaccines DO differ between races. Ignoring science is dangerous—discussing it isn’t:
📌 Rubella vaccine: Black individuals had significantly higher neutralizing antibody levels than Whites across two large, independent cohorts (Haralambieva et al, 2014).
📌 COVID-19 "vaccine": Black individuals showed higher antibody positivity than Whites after a single vaccine dose (Ward et al, 2022).
📌 Influenza vaccine: Black Americans had higher IgG & neutralizing antibody responses to H1N1 vs. Whites, linked to B-cell & gene expression differences (Kurupati et al, 2016).
📌 Hepatitis B vaccine: Ethnic differences in immune response observed (Hsu et al, 1996).
