Think I'm sympathetic to the call. Plus, it looks like Covid has finally ousted Diana from the Express's pages...

I suspect you did not look at your own link for very long.
There was no "vote here". Talk about click bait.

I'm not an anti-vaxxer, Pat.
All my children were vaccinated against all the appropriate diseases at the appropriate times.

What I do doubt is the safety of the first ever RNA injected vaccination, rushed out as the "saviour of the world".
Most vaccines have taken 5-10 years to develop. The scientists have done very well to create a safe vaccine in such a short time, if that is what they have done.

I guess we absorb the info given out with interest and make up our own minds. The success of the tens of thousands of tests on which the recent announcement is based leads me to believe this vaccine is likely to be safe and effective.

I assume — perhaps  wrongly — that those against lock-down, masks, earlier closing times, etc — will also be against the vaccine when it's offered. That's OK, provided they're few enough not to greatly endanger others. But it would be better to be sure...

Eligible people should get a vaccine against Covid-19 says the prime minister, who has "no inhibitions" about getting one.

I don't mind Boris having the jab and going doolally. To be honest, the way he has been acting lately it would be hard to tell the difference. But I think I will pass it up.

When all 650 MPs have been vaccinated, I may consider it.

I was going to say what makes you think they won't do that? 

However of course, if they do, they will also be accused of jumping the queue, so I guess they can't win either way.

I see your point about the persuasive value of those in the know being vaccinated first**

However, I sympathise with groups agitating for children who've not been given the recommended vaccinations to be banned from nurseries, kindergartens, schools, colleges, etc. So I shall not object to the idea of sanctions against adults, who needlessly put others at risk of infection by refusing to be vaccinated, but still mingle with the public at large...

** If that actually happens I bet there's an outcry about jumping the queue...

Until then, no thank you. It is my right.
