    Abstract The anti-vaxx movement is often associated with conspiracy theories and dismissed as being 'anti-science'. However, scepticism from Black communities must not be read as being 'anti-science', but rather 'anti-scientist' due to endemic racism in medical communities and structural inequalities in healthcare. Since slavery and its aftermath - such as through the case of Henrietta Lacks, and now through the Covid-19 pandemic - the devaluation of Black life has been highlighted through the failure to acknowledge and address health disparities amongst racialised and Black peoples [primarily in the United States]. Although the development of a vaccine is an important step in fighting Covid-19, its development and distribution need to be done so safely and in conjunction with addressing the needs and concerns of Black communities, who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.

    Abstract This paper explores the lived experiences of former NBA player Magic Johnson, and the late 'Godfather of Gangsta Rap' Eazy E to examine how their everyday realities as Black men with different socio-economic opportunities around the Civil Rights era affected their fight against HIV Johnson contracted HIV nearly 30 years ago, and continues to live a healthy, productive life Eazy E on the other hand, contracted the virus around the same time and later succumbed to AIDS The differences in the lived experiences of the two men warrant scholarly attention, particularly now amidst the Covid-19 pandemic Their differences in social position, stemming from the uneven inequities of the culture and racialization of poverty, much like the wider global epidemic of HIV/AIDS itself, are crucial in the spread and survival rate of those that contract HIV Overall, then, this paper aims to address the following research question: how do social issues of space and racialized poverty affect the lived experiences of African Americans with HIV? This paper will examine the production of social space and spatial structural violence, as well as racialized poverty, and their effects on likelihood of infection and survival of HIV and infectious disease more broadly
