According to a report published today by the Office for National Statistics, nearly 95% of adults are happy to get the covid jab. This number has risen since early December, when 78% of adults indicated they would be likely to accept the vaccine if offered it (the most common reasons for hesitancy: possible side-effects, concerns about long-term health impacts, and waiting to see how well the vaccines worked). Sounds like good news to me.
I’ve had an email from someone I see maybe a couple of times a year, to tell me that he won’t be getting a jab, preferring, as he put it, to go his “own sweet way”. In his refusal to change his behaviour - no social distancing - he seemed rather too pleased with himself. He indicated he would be happy to meet and “catch up”. Me? Not so much.
People who refuse the vaccine should be transported back in time to when we were at the mercy of polio, tetanus, rubella, diptheria, hepatitis and smallpox (still the only infectious disease declared by the WHO to have been entirely eradicated). Transported back… and left there.
Licenced today: a delivery van for the family firm...
