We have to restructure the health\u00a0 care system.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Historically, Latinos have long struggled with the medical system, often feeling unheard or disrespected. In recent years the relationship between doctor and patient has dissolved into once-a-year visits and frequent doctor changes, which for Latinos meant discussing their health with people they didn\u2019t know and didn\u2019t trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When country and state officials started pushing for citizens to get vaccinated, they were\u00a0 met with widespread skepticism and fear from the Latino community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98841\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98841\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-98841\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/IMG_0396-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/IMG_0396-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/IMG_0396-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/IMG_0396-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/IMG_0396.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98841\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Jonathan Fernandez\/Medill Reports)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Los Angeles native Willie Arevalo got the Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine only because it was mandatory for him to go on tour with his band, but he said he didn\u2019t feel entirely comfortable getting it. He is not boosted and has no plans to get boosted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI didn\u2019t want to get vaccinated at all,\u201d Arevalo said. \u201cVaccines make me nervous \u2026 not to be a conspiracy theorist, but throughout the history of the United States, there\u2019s been experiments on populations, syphilis, they did that on African Americans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What Arevalo referenced was the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tuskegee\/timeline.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study at Tuskegee <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">which took place in 1932. The study involved 600 Black men, 399 of them had syphilis and 201 did not. By that time penicillin had become the main treatment for syphilis and was widely available, but the researchers did not offer the participants that treatment. The study was eventually deemed \u201cethically unjustified\u201d by an advisory panel which fast-tracked ending the research.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Santiago Giraldo is a Ph.D. student who has been in Los Angeles for three years for school, but is from Colombia.

She was so confident in it that she<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was one of the first to receive it, she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI wanted to show my patients that I was willing to be a guinea pig for them,\u201d Casillas said. \u201cI was so reassured by the vaccine that when it was time for them to test it out on kids, I actually volunteered my own kids.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Casillas knows not everyone understands the science the way she does. And for those who still are unvaccinated, it would help to be dealing with someone they can really trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seeing doctors who look like them could help patients trust the person making medical recommendations. Casillas also says the medical system should look to partner with community leaders and organizations that have already established that trust with the Latino community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cPart of the messaging when I\u2019ve been working with community organizations to talk about the vaccine is to also acknowledge all the trauma that the Latino community have endured during the pandemic,\u201d Casillas said. \u201cOur communities have some of the highest rates of people who were essential workers. \u2026 We live in infrastructure where there\u2019s not an opportunity to socially distance. \u2026 We have higher rates of COVID-19 in our communities because of some of these reasons.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because the Latino community is more susceptible to COVID-19, Casillas emphasized the importance of being protected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIf you get COVID, there is a much higher risk of having complications of having COVID than having a complication from the vaccine,\u201d Casillas said. \u201cIf you look at the data around hospitalizations and deaths, an overwhelming majority are unvaccinated so the best way to protect yourself from COVID-19 hospitalization, potential complications, disability and death is by getting the vaccine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Jonathan Fernandez is a graduate student specializing in sports media at Northwestern Medill.
