You forgot why black people are more susceptible to Covid in the US. You need to learn the whole story. By mentioning how black people are more susceptible to the disease you just short yourself in the foot and supported vaccination.As blacks are supposedly more suspectable to covid than other races in the U.S., around 23 to 13, and Haiti, a small country with a dense population, had 22 per million deaths versus the highly vaccinated US with a less dense population, had a death rate of 1800 per million which is around 90 times less, kind of negates your population density theory. I kind of doubt if large swaths of Africa had been inoculated with a tuberculosis vaccine. If that were the case, then the US should stop using covid vaccine, and start using tuberculosis vaccine. What is known is that deaths by covid have been overcounted in the US due to the scale in payment for covid death treatment was higher than for having one's head cut off in a motorcycle accident while positive testing for covid being called death by covid instead of by accident. While the deaths for the morbid obese was high in the US, because of the high number of obese, by reason of medical advice with respect to diet over the years, and the use of high processed foods, such as corn syrup and vegetable oils, urged by commercial enterprises, and originally backed by doctors. That obese status hasn't reached over 50% versus the 90 fold increase in deaths versus Haiti, or the 3-fold increase versus Africa. As for the age range of 20 versus 40 years old, that age range is not within the health risk range, which is for the very old, and the ratio of old to young in the US is in favor of the young at this time. While not everyone is obese or overweight in Africa, it is a sign of being rich, and being overweight and getting diabetes is a large problem in Africa, mostly because they drink, Coca Cola products, from the company which Bill Gates, a supporter of WHO, which supported Wuhan research, who owns a large share of stocks of Coca Cola Consolidated,

Obesity in Africa – DW – 09/12/2019
There is a silent epidemic sweeping through Africa and it’s worse than HIV. Out of the 20 fastest rising countries with obesity, nearly half of them are in Africa.
The health burden on the continent is rising.Black Americans make up 13% of the US population. They make up 23% of COVID-19 deaths. - USAFacts
You throwing mud at the wall does not mean it will stick. I am sure the chickens will come home to roost, but in the meantime, do as you will.
As for your sources, when you find valid ones you need to read them. The whole article. Headlines do not count as support. Why were the death rates low for Haiti? Number one it , like Africa, is very young on average:
"The pandemic may have had less of an impact in Haiti, she says, because it's a young country. The average age is 23. COVID-19 infections tend to be less severe in younger people. It's also possible, she says, that a significant number of people were infected by the virus last summer, showed no symptoms and built up immunity. Also houses tend to be open with plenty of ventilation – air flow can knock the pathogen out of the picture."
Fresh air is also important. In the US and Europe the worst times were when people were shut up inside due to it being winter out. Check out the graph in the link. Our two worst outbreaks occurred in January. When people were forced into close contact for an extended period of time breathing the same air as everyone else:

Fresh air will dilute the virus down to the point where it is much harder to catch.
Now, do you know why you shot yourself in the foot by referring to the US black population?
