Covid-19; we dodged a bullet

There are various studies looking into the polls that report this, the most worrying findings are that BAME groups are being specifically targeted by anti-vaccination groups in order to amplify historical mistrust in authorities (stemming from a history in the west of experimentation on minorities under the guise of vaccination programs and overall poor focus on health outcomes for minority groups). There's also the co-founding issue that BAME people are disproportionately poor, with BAME neighbourhoods having fewer and less well funded public services.

The homogeneity of ethnicity, therefore, is neither here nor there. The issue is down to structural issues that lead to ethnic minorities being disproportionately represented in disadvantaged groups.
