They are, it seems the most at risk yet they also seem to be most against accepting help. Surely they don't believe all the tin hat cobras do they? What gives?

i don't agree with most of what you have written theland, i think its the fault of a few of leaders of their communities but not all.

[emmie]

oh well..

Is there a difference between idiot black people who refuse the jab and idiot white people who refuse the jab?

[emmie]

no, it just seems that more caucasians are taking up the vaccination that many in the black, asian, cxommunity...

> That Dave50, is exactly what they will demand happens. The rest of the Country stays locked down, furloughed, or wfh to ensure that the great unvaccinated or immune are not "putting them in danger".

Hopefully someone in Labour, Kier and maybe David Lammy or Diane Abbot, will be given airtime to try to encourage BAME take up of the vaccinne.

Theres also some large parts of the Jewish community which are anti-vaxx and are also still have there schools fully open (including weekends for weddings!), but am not sure whether theyd listen to Labour.

Its not just BAME thats got low rates, its allso some of the more orthodox Jewish groups.

Its going to take years not weeks to change cultural belief's on vaccinnes and over come distrust of white establishment and politicians sadly, but they got to try
