Скачать или смотреть Is COVID racist? | How Science & Medicine Get It Wrong

COVID kills Black people at an alarming rate, but why? Science and medicine have always been, and continue to be, structurally racist systems.

I plan on going deeper into the genetic arguments in future vids - stay tuned.

Don't treat #BlackLivesMatter as simply your chance to 'raise awareness', there are many things you can do, big and small. One of the most important is to take time to analyse yourself - without judgement (and without tweeting about it!) We all have things to learn. Some places to start (these are just my personal recommendations, not an exhaustive list)

Belly Mujinga worked in a major railway station in London and asked not to be placed on the main concourse due to a health condition. She was put there anyway, without PPE. A man claiming to have coronavirus spat in her face. She developed COVID-19 and died.

Stephen Lawrence was murdered at the age of 18 in 1993, in an unprovoked racist attack. His killers were acquitted. Years later an inquest exposed institutional racism in the police force and his death has become a pivotal moment in UK law. The foundation set up in his name does amazing work.

The charity sector itself is dominated by middle class white people in the UK, which leads to unconscious bias in where funding goes.
