UK survey: 72 percent of black people unwilling to have Covid vaccine

First topic message reminder :

The Guardian reports:

Advisers from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) have raised fresh concerns over Covid vaccine uptake among black, Asian and minority ethnic communities (BAME) as research showed up to 72% of black people said they were unlikely to have the jab.

Historical issues of unethical healthcare research, and structural and institutional racism and discrimination, are key reasons for lower levels of trust in the vaccination programme, a report from Sage said.

The figures come from the UK Household Longitudinal Study, which conducts annual interviews to gain a long-term perspective on British people’s lives.

The ONS claim is based on 'loaded' figures... They even clearly state this in the first few paragraphs of their website for which Syl posted the link...

It's hardly 'conspiracy theory' territory to question the methodology they used and therefore the validity of their subsequent figures!

When did people stop questioning things and instead just start believing everything they are told because it is repeated by some talking heads on a TV screen...!?

The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, was an unethical natural history study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The purpose of this study was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis; the African-American men who participated in the study were told that they were receiving free health care from the federal government of the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study

Once burned, twice shy. African Americans are reluctant to be guinea pigs any more.

Are black folks in the UK, African American?

No we just say “black” we don’t say African British. That’s just dumb.
