A relative minority of 66 million people yes.My guess is, and I'm far from an expert, Covid 19 will eventually end up like the flu is now. It will claim victims year on year but at relatively much lower levels than it currently is.
The scientists have said that when they announced release of vaccine. It's here to stay like the flu but will maintain deaths down to 10's of thousands a year like the Flu.
Jacko excuse my ignorance but why may others not be able to have the vaccine as a result of people who CAN have it choosing not to have it?
There is no causality. My contention is people who choose not to have it put people who are unable to have it (or it doesn't work for their biology) at risk as well as others who like them refuse to have it.
Fair enough. I dont watch the news, too depressing so I have to rely on people like you to get me up to speed. 👍
It is there choice, yes, but if they wont have it will still lead to restrictions to ALL of us. If you were to say no foreign travel unless you have the vaccine, I bet it would it would be a lot less than 50% refusing to have the vaccine.
Would be interesting to know the ethnicity of those refusing the vaccine rumors flying around that alcohol and animal products are in the vaccine.
I agree with you Kev, but, greedy airlines will never put in place such measures.
Once the vaccines are given out to those who want them crack on. Anyone who chooses not to have it has made their choice.
We are all still at risk from covid after vaccination, it could be a significant number who won't have it, in theory any illegal in the UK won't get contacted for the jab.
England hits a new daily vaccine doses record, 279,647 vaccine doses administered yesterday (274,793 1st doses, 4,854 2nd doses)
No one in the trials got seriously ill after vaccination, it seems it gives a very high level of protection.
What do you propose we do about those who won't have it.
That is seriously great news, it means they are bang on course for the roll out.
We won’t need to if over 50% of the population get vaccinated. Sterilising immunity will kick in.
