People queue for coronavirus vaccine shots in London s Chinatown on Monday.
South China Morning Post
Undocumented Asian migrants in Britain are travelling hundreds of kilometres to get coronavirus vaccine shots in London’s Chinatown instead of local doctors.
On Monday, about 1,500 people were offered jabs at a pop-up vaccination centre at the China Exchange building in Gerrard Street.
It was the sixth vaccination event organised by the Chinese Information and Advice Centre (CIAC). The first one in May had to be halted after hundreds of people turned up for only 150 vaccines available. Police had to intervene and many who weren’t able to get a shot left disappointed.
the time. undocumented asian, caribbean people. we have a responsibility to look at as squarely as possible. we have opportunity here to take risk. what are you willing to do? is it going to take the international community essentially devesting from the united states? i m not sure that international laws apply in a counted in which no laws apply when it comes to people not treated as human beings. when people are not people, you can do whatever you want to them. whatever you want. antonio vargas, thank you very much for the risk you take every day to help people. it s not immigrants, it s people. more am joy after the break. thank you. come on, let s go home. after 10 years, we ve covered a lot of miles.
berkeley. i came to the united states when i was 9 years old. dack as been critical to being a law professor. i see defining america as being able to question the very terms by which me and people like me are rendered illegal. i call on immigrant communities both those who fit the narrative and those would don t to come together and chart a new court forward. feel like there is a disconnect because they are americans. and i met joel a few years ago here in new york. he went to this immigration event and he said, jose, i need people to talk more about undocumented black immigrants and when we have this conversation, it is not a purely a latino issue. thousands of undocumented asian and black and those who qualify for daca are under threat. i think we have to realize the diversity of the population. we were talking about right now for example, according to teach
to rescind it, that we re going to unite and demonstrate that the incredible mobilizing power that we have in our community. and that is one of the most important things and i m glad that the three of you are here and i hope that comes out of it, that the communities, whether it is black or white and asian or latino, realize that we are all together. thank you so much. thank you guys for being here. and be sure to join the conversation using the #american d.r.e.a.m.ers and am joy and at define american.com. discover card.
