Ethnic Disparities in COVID-19 Mortality Rates in Australia! 💉📉

In a recent senate estimate session, I highlighted the alarming ethnic disparities in COVID-19 mortality rates. Australians from the Middle East died at three times the average death rate, those from Southern Europe twice as high, while sub-Saharan Africans had lower mortality rates.

What’s driving these disparities? The health experts suggest that low vaccine coverage and socioeconomic factors played roles in these differences. As vaccination efforts improved, mortality rates began to align more closely with the general population.

These are just theories, not explanations, and it comes across as a lazy response. There's no justification for not making an effort to understand the reasons behind such a serious medical issue.
