You people are seriously losing the plot, I honestly think covid has driven some of you insane because you can't see how unacceptable this sort of thing is in a free society. It's ironic that you invoke world war 2 where millions died to preserve freedom, which surely includes the freedom to decide whether you get vaccinated or not.

The vaccinated can catch and transmit the virus. You seriously think people aren’t getting vaccinated because they’re waiting for a lottery prize? object to

You object to Healdplace mentioning WW2 and then go on to use (or misuse WW2) in your argument. I haven’t got a strong view either way on whether more pressure should be put on people to have the vaccine and maybe that pressure would be counter productive. One thing I’m pretty sure of is that peole didn’t dodge the war and had children fighting in their place and that’s effectively what the vaccine dodgers are doing. We wouldn’t need 12 year olds being vaccinated if all the adults had received the 2 jabs etc.

As you are obviously a well qualified virologist or similar please enlighten us all as to why people aren't getting vaccinated.

Personally I think the majority of those not getting vaccinated are those who dont see that they are at risk. "im a healthy 25 year old, why do i need it" sort of thing. A lottery or some other incentive could push them into "yeah ok then, I could win something". even a free pint may do it for some.

You will always have the hard core anti vaxxer factions tho who live in there own coco land who wont be pursuaded.

I know 4 people not vaccinated, all due to 1 hard core antivaxxer spreading there lies and disinformation,

Wonderful. This thing is over. Too many are still far too concerned with it. We just need to crack on now really.

It's good news, and gives part of the a route back to nromality but it isn't in widescale circulation yet and we have a difficult few months ahead. Try telling the families of the 1,000 people a day getting hospitalised or the 200 people a day who are dying that it's over.
