I mean, I fucking hate that there are people who will use this to bang on the systemic racism and oppression drum, but it is kind of interesting that the mortality rate is so much higher. There's a big write-up at the top of /r/nootropics about how vitamin D helps to improve covid outcomes, the fact that outcomes are worse in black people makes me wonder if it's due to them being more likely to be vitamin D deficient.

Of course, neither the article you posted nor the sub-article bothers to even mention vitamin D, preferring to bang the drum about "increasing inequities".
