No, I'm registered on some site or other for research but I've not been eligible for any yet.

I got an email saying I was eligible to take part in a vaccine trial....a month after my first vaccination...

I have however had Covid-19 PCR tests for other research purposes.

Interesting view of the demographics of covid study volunteers. Sadly 92% white. Is that a lack of volunteers or poor recruitment practices?

it does seem we aren't convincing certain cultures of the benefits

The latest data from the Office for National Statistics confirms that ethnic minorities in England are considerably less likely to receive a covid-19 vaccine than their White counterparts. [2] While 90.2% of those aged 70 years and over living in England had received at least one dose of vaccine by 11 March 2021, uptake rates were 58.8% and 68.7% in Black African and Black Caribbean groups, respectively. [2] This was followed by Bangladeshi (72.7%) and Pakistani (74.0%) populations, with the most pronounced differences seen in those living in the most deprived areas of England.

Drug companies are experimenting with vaccines on black and Asians.

Then: Whites are being given priority for vaccinations.

Then: Blacks and Asians are left behind with vaccines.

Then: Don't trust vaccines, I'm not going to be vaccinated.

Poor recruitment practices.

Not helped by a government minister not saying that she was involved in a vaccine trial and instead slamming a journalist who asked her why she wasn't involved in promoting vaccine take up....

Had my second AZ jab yesterday. Just a bit of an achy arm this time.
