 BRONX TIMES R 20     EPORTER, APR. 9-15, 2021 BTR 
 Bronx resident produces fi lm  
 about medical racism and warns  
 against the COVID vaccine 
 BY JASON COHEN 
 As millions are making appointments  
 to get the COVID-19 vaccine, one Bronx  
 resident is not running to the front of the  
 line nor does he think the shot is needed. 
 Curtis Cost, who has 30 years of research  
 and activism for Black community  
 issues, believes  that  vaccines  represent  
 one of the greatest threats to people  
 around the world, especially to Africans  
 and Latinos. 
 He stressed to the Bronx Times that  
 many  people  should  be wary  of  the  vaccine  
 as he incorrectly claims that the vaccines  
 are not FDA approved and does not  
 contain SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus  
 that can lead to COVID-19. 
 Recently, he produced a fi lm,  “Medical  
 Racism: The New Apartheid,” which  
 discusses the harmful effects of vaccines  
 on the Black community and why people  
 should not be forced to get them. 
 “It’s (the COVID-19) not even a vaccine,” 
  Curtis explained. “Most people  
 don’t realize SARS isn’t in the vaccine. 
  They don’t promise you won’t get  
 COVID.” 
 The  hour  long  fi lm  explores  how  the  
 Tuskegee experiments exploited Black  
 people for 40 years and interviews African  
 Americans, many of which are leery  
 of vaccines. 
 While Cost has written several books  
 about vaccines, this was the fi rst fi lm he  
 was involved with. He enjoyed hearing  
 perspectives from different types of people. 
 Even some NBA players have said they  
 will not get it for those same reasons. 
 According to Cost, people need to educate  
 themselves on what is in vaccines before  
 taking them. 
 “People need to know that the CDC and  
 WHO (World Health Organization) have  
 bad characters who do bad things,” he  
 said. “Some of them feel it’s okay to misrepresent  
 people.” 
 Cost and the fi lm point out that the CDC  
 has withheld info how about the MMR  
 vaccine for measles can cause autism. He  
 noted that for years he has warned parents  
 Bronx  resident  Curtis  Cost,  producer  of  
 “Medical Racism: The New Apartheid”   
   Courtesy of Curtis Cost 
 about the dangers of vaccines. 
 People should not assume a vaccine is  
 safe,  Cost  commented.  Vaccines  became  
 even more a threat in 1986 when the National  
 Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was  
 passed; meaning parents could not sue the  
 drug company if there were negative side  
 effects. 
 Cost, who meets with scientists and  
 research doctors weekly, also questioned  
 the validity of the COVID-19 PCR test and  
 if the amount of people who died from the  
 virus is actually true. If they had underlying  
 conditions how do we know that isn’t  
 what killed them? 
 He stressed that the CDC and WHO are  
 misleading the country and making them  
 feel this alleged vaccine is safe. 
 The hope is people watch the fi lm and  
 understand how dangerous vaccines are,  
 he stated. 
 “Our kids are among the sickest because  
 they get more vaccines than anyone  
 on the planet,” Cost said. “The World  
 Health has changed the defi nition of what  
 a vaccine is.”
