As the government puts every small business out of work permanently from the lockdowns for the totally deadly virus, all the social media sites are promoting black-owned businesses. That means this whole thing is just a way to make a higher percentage of businesses black-owned, by putting all the white ones out of business while keeping the black ones opened through social media propping them up. It's a redistribution of wealth based on race. Am I wrong?

It's false. The people getting the vaccine first are disproportionately the most at-risk. I got an e-mail today from a hospital system in a state I no longer live in. It explained in detail whose is currently eligible for the vaccine, in addition to healthcare workers. The criteria are any one of the following:
-- age 75 or over
-- currently getting chemotherapy for cancer
-- currently on dialysis
-- currently awaiting transplant or on a "pre-transplant" list
-- 20-32 weeks pregnant
Talking about a very small percentage of people in such a group dying after getting the vaccine is in no way comparable to talking about people who died because of the vaccine. In any given week, a significant number of people in this aggregated group are dying anyway, with or without the vaccine.
