British officials must try harder to get Covid vaccines to ethnic minority people because more than half of black people could turn them down, SAGE has warned. In a paper published today by the Government Office for Science, scientists told ministers that vaccine uptake in the past has been lower in non-white communities. And they said extra effort should be made to improve this now because of the desperate need to get as many people as possible vaccinated against coronavirus. Low trust in the health service or scientists, fears about safety and difficulty getting access to vaccines have blighted acceptance rates in black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, researchers said. Further complicating the problem is the fact that the same ethnic groups are more likely to die of Covid-19 than white people, so it is extra important that they get a jab.

So he knows the plan he outlined tonight can't pass "quickly" & will delay the 2k for hard hit Americans,' Rubio said Thursday night.    Brady started his statement with, 'Here we go again.' 'True to form and his signature failed "stimulus," President-elect Biden launches yet another economic blind buffalo that does nothing to save Main Street businesses, get people back to work, or strengthen the economy,' Brady said.  'Special interests and liberals are cheering,' he added.
