same here, they're all a bunch of cunts - but that's not an excuse to risk the lives of others because I read some stupid shit on the internet

no, indeed

If anything, it seems to me that making excuses for people being ignorant science-deniers because of their ethnicity is rather patronising
A bit racist, you might say.

'Oh they've been treated awfully in the past, it's not their fault they're jeopardising their lives and those around them, they don't know any better due to poor education, bless them'

they even say as much in the article
Black communities were passed over in favour of white and South Asian ones in information campaigns, even though they have a lengthy track record of poor coverage in vaccinations

so maybe the black community doesn't trust the government, but maybe if the government had made any effort at all to create that trust, Lenny Henry wouldn't have had to run that campaign

of course

Hey, I'm not making any excuses
but there's clearly a reason why black people don't trust the jab and I doubt it's selfishness.

To be honest none of us have given a fuck about the education levels of misinformation put around in minority communities - we don't care. It's not our problem until now it is and suddenly we're all "oh why won't these people trust medical science and government advice what's wrong with them" when we've all given no fucks about them for the last fifty years.

Bit late.

I don't see this as a race issue at all
White idiots are just as likely to be science-denying anti-vax morons - as Tea pointed out above, in the US these people are overwhelmingly white. Anyone who believes that shit - anyone at all, from any ethnic or socioeconomic group, is a fucking idiot. No excuses for any of them: they're risking people's lives because they're mugs who've watched some prick on YouTube telling them it's a 'scamdemic', that is inexcusable save for if you have learning difficulties.

I think a lot of it's down to the batshit crazy
churches. Fucking hell, the state of the Old Kent Road on a Sunday morning. I swear some of the driving is being done by the Holy Spirit because it sure as fuck isn't someone who's passed a driving test, and the parking is beyond anything you've ever seen.

Chris Is A Ladder is one of my all-time favourites. It's a memorable name for a cult, sure.

If you're religious
you're already familiar with believing things that make no sense and can't be proved

I think this may well be at the heart of the matter

Or the fart of the matter - if you'll believe in this then... well..

that Chris has a lot to answer for

Haha, did it actually say "Chris"?

There is a place called the Christ Restoration Centre
I think they need to get together

No - that's my typo

Aww, shame.
I love the idea of a religion that just worships some guy called Chris.

I used to work with a guy called Chris Terry
protocol for email was first name plus initial of last so [email protected]

his email address was [email protected]

the IT team were dicks

Love it.
There was a guy in my year at uni called Tam Watson. The uni ID cards had an identifier for each student that started with the initial of the first name followed by the first three letters of the surname.
