Rather unfair to call him racist for saying this as he is probably not wrong, as reported in The Herald this week.
"She added that some of the localised increases in infection also correlated with Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities where there is more vaccine hesitancy.
"There is some evidence that they are more affected by this [increase]," said Dr de Caestecker.
"There's a higher number of these groups in the populations in these postcodes, and so we're working really closely with these communities."

You kinda raced to make the point though.
I get your point though. We shouldn't be afraid to call out the cause of a problem. I really dont see why it was neccessary for you to do it in this instance though.

The amount of travel to India and back at a point in time seemed to be concerning given the challenges that country was facing.
Thankfully the link to deaths in the UK appears to be low despite the increase in the variant.

It's not facts though. It's down to vaccine hesitancy not mixing in houses as you claimed.
Also I didn't claim you were racist I asked if you were.
Please provide evidence that it is down to ethnic minorities mixing in houses.

Is it just a coincidence that a few weeks ago India was put on the red list ? At the time the government announced that India would be included in the red list they gave about a week`s notice and charter planes were used to get people back into the country before the deadline to avoid them having to pay to isolate in hotels. How many that returned did isolate properly at home? It makes no sense to me for the government to give so much notice when taking the step to place countries on the red list, if there is evidence of a problem act immediately to prevent the spread, don`t allow thousands of people who should not have been on holiday anyway at that time to return before acting. This should apply each time a country is placed on the red list. we are an island it could be so easy to prevent the importation of various strains, look at New Zealand`s figures. they have been able to live a normal life for months now by keeping their borders closed.

How does the SG have control over travel from India?
All we can do is have different quarantine measures when people do come in. Which we actually do have.
SG wanted to lockdown before Westminster did but we don't hold the purse strings and have limited borrowing powers so unable to introduce a furlough scheme alone.

You asked a question with a political angle because you mentioned Nicola .,SIF answered respectfully, you reply "Not interested...." why pose the question if you don't want to hear the answer, or is it because it was an answer that didn't suit your narrative ?

Vaccines 'almost certainly less effective' at reducing transmission of Indian variant
It's likely that coronavirus vaccines are not as effective at reducing transmission of the Indian variant than others, the deputy chair of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has said.
Professor Anthony Harnden told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The vaccines may be less effective against mild disease but we don't think they're less effective against severe disease.
"But in combination with being less effective against mild disease, they're almost certainly less effective against transmission."

"Less effectively" could be a broad church. The statement doesn't add a huge amount in my opinion.

Factually the ethnic make up of the areas do have patterns as you say but I would suggest that it may be larger households(multi generational) in ethnic groups that have been vaccine reluctant that have lead to large cluster outbreaks hence the targetted public health messaging to encourage vaccine uptake because without, transmission will be far reaching. I've seen no specific evidence of ignoring rules on numbers in households.

It has been happening a lot and it will happen especially during religious festivals.
I don't blame them as people need to get on with their lives. and the govt should have had contingency measures in place ready to go rather than reacting in a panic.

My understanding is it's not to do with meeting up. The issue is a vaccine hesitancy combined with a higher proportion of people from Asian backgrounds living in multi-generational households.
There's a lot of work going on with faith groups who are supportive of the vaccination programme and are working to encourage people to take it. My understanding is there are no religious grounds for not taking it (unless it's a lesser known religion).

If we learn lessons from America where it’s mostly black and ethnic from certain poorer areas that have the highest rates is down to...
More densely populated areas, eg flats with lots of traffic on the stairs/communal areas, busier local shops etc
Lower paid jobs so they generally have to keep going out to work and aren’t afforded the luxury of working from home to reduce their risk
Lower incomes so are much more likely to take the bus to work as opposed to driving in their own car which would reduce the spread
Lower opportunity so households have more in them as kids are not off at university or living in their own house with a nice job
They’re also more likely to be carers as retirement homes are out of their price range
Wonder if any of those apply here
