Where have all the anti-vaxxers gone?

Saw earlier that Whitty doesn't wish to press charges. I can see that he wouldn't want the stress of a court case, but I hope the police pursue it regardless. Also saw the photos of people outside his flat shouting 'murderer'. Shameful.

On a brighter note, it was moving to see the crowd at Wimbledon giving a standing ovation to vaccine developer Sarah Gilbert.

I thought that was such a nice thing to do. She deserved it.

The Irish over here seem to just as keen as any other group, as do the Polish.

Interesting you have written that, I think I would have said that too..

However, there are special materials being developed, in Polish, due to the low take up in Polish communities.

Can't really make sense of what you're saying to be honest?

Probably because your original post was unclear; which part of BAME exactly were you getting at?

She plays pro-tennis as well?

Not at all, but with the vaccine all sorted now she is heading up the team covering Number One court if it rains. She was going to be on the Centre Court, but Jonathon vanTam is doing that team because Chris Witty has been called back up to press conferencing.

Whichever one's that get reported on the News about for not taking up the vaccine, I don't know who they are?

It must have been particularly unnerving for him as his diplomat father was sought out and murdered by terrorists in Athens when, I believe, Chris was 17 years old.

Lets see, South Asian indigenous people living in non integrated parts of the UK.
Or even, people of Pakistani / Indian heritage.

Harassing Chris Whitty by the looks of it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57648608 Hopefully the police can find something to prosecute them for.

What makes you think they are antivaxxers?

The CMO used to be provided with an official car which would have prevented Whitty being harassed in public but the Tories withdrew it (probably cos they couldn't see a way to make a profit from it)

True enough, you necessarilly have to be an antivaxxer to be a knobber I suppose...

There is a lot of anti vax on facebook I see less now since I had to block the worst offenders in my friends for comments made to my wife.

The Freedom march at the weekend was pretty large, I made some comments and made one of the expose that he was a chem trail believer and a flat earther which didn't help his case.

I have a special kind of contempt for these people, I don't like what some have called me wife, she is a nurse, I don't even know if I'm allowed to say what's she has been compared to.

A relative posted the above, then messaged me directly, calling my wife a murderer.

I feel the miss-information they spread is dangerous, it’s why I go out of my way to expose their lies.

There were a lot of antivaxers on tiktok all proclaiming all sorts of psueodo babble rubbish including showing people how magnets stuck to people's arms after some have had the jab, not to mention how it changes people's DNA. It was amazing how people that looked relatively normal and sane could believe such garbage.

Most have disappeared now as so many people told them to go forth and that enough is enough.

There are only 1 or 2 left now. So I would say most have just shut up as people are not interested or care if they have the vacination or not.

It most certainly is. Life-threateningly dangerous.

GOOD FOR YOU. Carry on doing it; even if you sow a seed of doubt - that all the propaganda might not be quite what it seems - in just one anti-vaxxer's or prospective anti-vaxxer's mind, it is worthwhile.
