Anti-vaxers despair!

All over-50s are to be offered Covid-19 vaccine by May. As of 8 February, over-70s in the UK can now contact the NHS to arrange a coronavirus vaccine appointment. What have the anti-vaxers got to say about this?

The answer is: we don't know, but to be honest, we don't know if we want to know. The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in the death of over 100,000 Brits, as well as many job losses and the necessity for three nationwide lockdowns, so, to put it briefly, any vaccine is better than no vaccine.

At a Downing Street news briefing, deputy chief medical officer Professor Jonathan Van-Tam told people to seek the vaccine 'without delay... [to] protect [themselves] against the clear and present danger'.

Three Covid-19 vaccines have been licensed for use in adults in the UK - the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, and, more recently, the Moderna vaccine.

As of 8 February, over 12,000,000 of the most vulnerable of the UK's population have now received their first jab to protect against the ongoing threat of Covid-19.
