Maybe you misread my comments again.

Religious convictions. Belief beats logic and science every time unfortunately. We see evidence of that on here.

that is a good point that I was thinking about myself. i replied to someone on youtube once about why they bother debunking Flat Earthers as, by definition, they are not reasonable. His reply was that there is evidence that those people who are unsure (who the eff these f wits are is anyone's guess) may be persuaded one way or the other. This is why "free speech" has been assaulted on social media platforms as "alternative" information unfortunately costs lives, not only those people who do not believe the science but others in the general population.

I can’t post the link for some reason but it’s easy to find. That was what the R4 article was about. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

well that is not my experience in the NE of England. I just emailed an Indian born GP in Luton, an old friend. he is high up in the administrative hierarchy as well as a practicing GP. He is running a covid vaccination clinic. he says a lot of BAME patients are not taking up the vaccine, but not BAME drs,

You've answered your own question there I think.

""The study notes that doctors are the only staff group at the NHS trust in which minority ethnic individuals form the majority""

Which demographic groups in the UK do you suppose are most likely to hold religious beliefs?
Seems quite a simple answer to me.

BAME = most religious
Under-30s = biggest users of social media
Those in most deprived areas = most distrusting of authority.

Easy.
