MSNBC Doctor's Conspiracy Theory: White Racist Pols Use Anti-Vaxxers to Endanger Blacks

Appearing on Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show today to discuss the problem of portions of the population who refuse to be vaccinated against Covid, Dr. Chris Pernell decried "people unfortunately who have become susceptible to the conspiracy theories."
But ironically, Pernell floated a paranoid conspiracy theory of her own: that anti-vaxxers are white supremacists who are targeting communities of color. She seemed to be saying that the white supremacists are encouraging POC to refuse vaccination so that they'll contract the potentially fatal disease. Now that's paranoid.
Said Pernell:
"I don’t have any tolerance for the anti-vaxxer movement. And I don’t have any tolerance for politicians who befriend, who cozy up to, or become allies of that movement. I actually see that as another example of the proliferation of white supremacy.
"Because in particular, they are targeting communities of color, and they are targeting the historical injustices, the atrocities, that communities of color have experienced, as a way to play on their vulnerabilities."
No specifics were offered in this conspiracy theory. Nobody needs any evidence on this "news channel"! Dr. Pernell is a more regular guest on CNN than she is on MSNBC.Comment:
Obviously, the accusations by Pernell are worse than any tinfoil hat conspiracies I’ve heard...
It sounds like this kook is saying that anti-vax white supremacists are try to convince blacks not to get vaccinated, as a means to expose them to COVID. Which makes no sense, because by definition anti-vaxxers don’t believe the vaccine is helpful!
Anyhow, since when do blacks look to white supremacists as a trusted source of info?
