This is not true. The vaccine uptake gap in the UK (which holds for *some*, but not all BAME groups) is not about a history of experimentation. Quite the reverse, actually: one cause of scepticism in UK is perception that vaccines won't work for non-white people. https://twitter.com/susiesymes1/status/1335591044189188096
It's beyond patronising to believe that differential rates among some 'BAME' communities in the UK is driven by an ancestral fear of the Tuskegee experiments.
Central issues in a UK context across *some* BAME groups - religious objections (this is largely for the likes of HPV, etc. tho it can be wider in some cases), language barriers, and concerns about the undeniable fact that v few minorities are in vaccine trials.
