DAN HODGES: We must have a grown-up debate about Covid, culture and race – or thousands more will die
There was evidence that Britain’s black and Asian communities were being disproportionately
impacted by the pandemic
"but it has also highlighted another issue. Do we actually want an honest conversation about Covid, immigration and race? At the start of the pandemic, the answer was No. It was a national crisis and we would confront it together.""
"Matt Hancock said the concerns were ‘particularly timely’ because ‘right across the world, people are angry about racial injustice. And I get that. Black lives matter’"
"Cultural issues surrounding isolating and social distancing. An inability of non-English-speakers to understand Covid safety and health advice. An attempt to lump all ethnic-minority groups under a single convenient heading of ‘BAME’, and engage with them accordingly.
Workplace tensions created by a backlash against risk-assessments focused on black and Asian workers.
But regardless of these facts, the terms of the discourse have been set. So long as the discussion about Covid and ethnicity can be channelled through the prism of overt or structural racism, everything is fine. But as soon it strays towards cultural factors within the impacted communities themselves, a conspiracy of silence descends.
All of which would be another frustrating, but fairly typical, example of our skewed modern dialogue over race. Except for this. That conspiracy of silence is now leading us towards a catastrophe of silence.
Everyone has been lauding the vaccine rollout. But the vaccination figures within the black and Asian community are horrific. Black vaccine take-up is half of that of the white community. In the Asian community it’s two-thirds."
"But again, these basic facts have to be channelled through a prism of political correctness. A BMJ report last week hit the usual liberal tropes. An erosion of trust through ‘systemic racism and discrimination’. ‘Previous unethical healthcare research in black populations’. ‘Negative experiences within a culturally insensitive healthcare system’. These, the paper claimed, were all ‘legitimate concerns’, before helpfully adding that a failure of public health messaging meant ‘vaccine hesitancy’ was a ‘legitimate viewpoint’.
It’s not a legitimate viewpoint. And the primary failure of public health messaging is now from those progressives who – in a reckless and self-serving effort to paraded their anti-racist credentials – keep pretending it is. This morning Britain’s black and Asian communities find themselves at the centre of a propaganda double whammy. From the anti-vaxxers who are targeting them as part of their deranged campaign. And from the preening liberals who want to use Covid as the latest super-weapon in World War Woke."
"First, that time is almost up. On June 21, lockdown will end. The country will reopen. And at that moment any community – regardless of colour or creed – that has turned its back on the vaccine will have issued an open invitation for Covid to come ripping through it."
"The final reality is this. The only way to defeat the anti-vax propagandists is the way we always defeat propaganda – with hard truths and harder facts. And this is the hard truth that needs to be delivered. Every single one of us who can, needs to take the vaccine. We live in a free society, one that will stop short of legal compulsion. But despite that – indeed because of it – we each have an even greater obligation to ourselves and to our neighbours.
There can be no excuses. No cultural excuse. No historic excuse. No religious excuse.
Because if people try to rationalise and embrace the argument that ‘vaccine hesitancy is legitimate’, then people are going to die. Some of those who reject the vaccine will die. Some members of their family will die. And a lot of people in their communities will die. This is the message that needs to be delivered. To black and Asian Britain, just as it has to be delivered to everyone else.
In 2021, we will not pursue multiculturalism at the expense of thousands of needless Covid deaths. And if we don’t explain that patiently and clearly, but instead choose at this life-or-death moment to again suffocate our ethnic minorities beneath a blanket of victimhood, then Matt Hancock will have been proven wrong. Black lives won’t matter after all"

I think my first inkling that some shyt was going to go down was when the NCAA tournament got canceled. I had kind of shrugged off Covid and thought it would be the equivalent to the swine flu. And I knew Trump wouldn't do shyt about it....which he didn't. God that such a stressful time too at work, because there were three co-workers there who decided that a pandemic would be the best time to start some drama and I had to work around that bullshyt too. Not a very happy time, and as you said, it was terrifying too. I really thought we'd be back to normal May at the earliest and June at the latest, but I guess I thought too highly of people. The mask vs. no mask still rages on today.

Better to get that, than to get hit with COVID19 itself and killing you.
