      Okay.

      I could find hundreds of references if I was being paid, it’s a very well established fact. It’s the reason organ transplant matches can be very difficult to find for people with African ancestry.

      Honestly it’s a bit weird to come back and see I’ve been downvoted. Echoes of Lysenkoism.

        Thanks for taking the time to get these, and respond. I guess people are very on edge with the current political climate, and are reacting emotionallly to things. Which is partly the reason for the political situation, IMHO.

        Anyway, you mentioned differences between ethnicities in regards to immune systems, which doesn’t necessarily lead to “people with African ancestry need fewer vaccines and less healthcare”. Which seems to be the racists excuse.
