They did not initially do that.  In Louisville, if you were white and
didn't mind going downtown, or out of Jefferson County, to get your shot
you could get it.  It was just the initial placement of the vaccination
centers that was not convenient to most of the population.

Later, they prioritized it because they thought that blacks were not able
to get the shot (due to numbers who showed up).  However, it was more along
the lines of "didn't trust the government" and/or listened to what some of
the talking heads (like Whoopi) were telling them early on.  In both cases,
they were avoiding the shot.

That is 100% true.
