Rory Finn talks to Dr Sam Hall, a Brighton & Hove GP, for some clarification around the Covid-19 vaccinesWhen news first came out that a vaccine had been approved, I initially greeted it with scepticism.
Not because I am an anti-vaxxer or believe that 5G has been the cause of the pandemic, but because throughout medical history, minority groups have been sidelined in research, often an afterthought or not included at all.
Some have been subjected to unethical and immoral clinical trials – this has been especially prevalent with people of colour.
Given the speed at which the vaccines have been developed, why should we so trust them, as queer people, especially for those of us who wear multiple minority identities or live with long-term.
