High-risk Covid gene more common in South Asians - BBC News

University of Oxford scientists have uncovered a gene that doubles the risk of lung failure and death from Covid.

Around 60% of people from South Asian backgrounds and 15% of people of European ancestry carry the high-risk version of the gene.

Researchers say vaccines are key and help significantly reduce these risks.

BBC why don’t you post links to the primary source material?? Some of us want to find out more, quickly and easily, and you really should provide that in the description of the video.

Oh boy, what unfortunate news. Thankfully this extremely civil comment section will raise my mood

Coronaviruses are not genetic.

I’m guessing this “means” that those guys are to get more jabs….. some people of a certain belief could argue that this is the start of genocide …. Not me though I’ll just do exactly what they tell me to do for my own “safety”

Great video. You've reminded me of what someone once said💖
"The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too".
This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then I have been waxing strong financially and I most tell you the truth.

Just take a count about how many people of Europen ancestory died and compare it to the south Asian people. This is a joke

I’m fed up now with clearing plague ridden bodies from my driveway — every bloody morning 😣
