28m · PublishedJune 2nd- Tulsa Race Massacre and Can Teens get Vaccinated even with Parental Disapproval
7m · PublishedHi, I'm a Global Health Economist. My name is Hyorin Nam, an upcoming college, pre-med student pursuing a major in Life science and Biotechnology. My podcast aims to educate people about urgent humanitarian crises and recent scientific development to increase awareness of global injustice and improve the quality of human health.
Today, June 2nd, Wednesday, 2021, we will discuss the Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the single worst incidents of racial violence in American history, and whether teens get vaccinated even with parental disapproval.Â
Today's highlights
- Tulsa Race Massacre took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, was the incident wherein White residents attacked Black residents and burned businesses of Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the US, which was considered a Black Wall Street, a commercial center, with 41 grocery stores, 30 restaurants, 11 boarding houses, nine billiard parlors, five hotels, and many other businesses.Â
- Most states require a parentâs or legal guardianâs consent for anyone under 18 to get a vaccine, including the COVID-19 shot. While teens are more susceptible to the more severe multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C)- a serious complication that causes inflammation of internal organs, many parents disapprove of their children getting vaccinated. How can they vaccinate? Why do they want to vaccinated despite disapproval?Â
- Teens want to get vaccinated to protect the health of their own and community. âGiving teenagers and young adults the option and the autonomy to make those decisions really helps equip them for moving into adulthood and shows them they have responsibilities to take care of themselves and their community by getting vaccinated,â says Lindenberger, who testified before Congress in 2019 about the dangers of vaccine misinformation.
- Teens want to get vaccinated to improve their mental health. Research suggests that during the pandemic, teens have suffered from increased anxiety, depression, and loneliness. A recent report from the nonprofit Fair Health found that mental health insurance claims for teens age 13 to 18 doubled in March and April of 2020 compared to those months the previous year.
