SHELBY CO., Tenn. (WMC) - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) wrote a letter to Tennessee Governor Bill Lee Monday questioning vaccine distribution in Shelby County.

With Shelby County being Tennessee’s largest county, its vaccination rate is one of the lowest in the state.

Cohen’s letter asks Lee to be proactive and “rectify the issue immediately” also calling attention to the disproportionate COVID-19 death rate among Black Memphians/Shelby Countians.

Of the county’s nearly 1,200 COVID-19 deaths, over 600 are among Black citizens.

If he were capable of telling the truth, which he isn't because, well, he's repuke, he'd be screaming:

PUTIN WANTS PEOPLE DEAD!

I detest him.

Last I read a whopping 33k have been vaccinated in the Memphis area.

I sure hope Joe directs vaccines & funding directly to blue cities in red states!!! Watch repujes squeal if he does!
