So it COULD be part of the reason, but we are racist if we call out Leonard for an anti vax stance? Get the fuck out of here. Especially coming from someone who it sounds like just found out about one of the many the reasons for the AA communities mistrust. Regardless of whether or not this is part of Leonard’s reluctance, the fact is he is damaging his community. We can guess if it’s out of ignorance, selfishness, or mistrust, but he sure as fuck is not being a leader and should be called out on it. The AA community has been hit hard by COVID and, just like the rest of the US, they need leaders to come out and vocally help encourage people to do what is best for the community. That’s what leaders do. Leonard isn’t being a leader on this team or in his community by holding an ignorant stance regardless of the reason. And he deserves to be called out for it - just like all the ignorant people on the right.
