Bloody young people, not having a vaccine they haven’t been offered yet... 1380192393350242309

The more unvaccinated people you have at the point of reopening, the greater the risk of creating (or transmitting one of the examples already here) variants which reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine, or (in the worst case scenario) manage to evade it entirely. At which point we're back to...

I appreciate this is an over-simplification, but given everything that's going on is there any chance they could, y'know, get on with it?

The simple solution is people who can have the vaccine but refuse to do so should continue to be locked down. The vaccine is the ticket out.

And you'd be freely at will to. But you should then be restricted in what you can do for the safety of everyone else.

I guess at least it shows the value of stripping this out of the Good News thread

Perhaps the solution is to say that people who don't wish to have the vaccine can refuse it, but they are the ones who are shielded going forward and have to effectively continue lockdown? That way it keeps them safe while also allowing them to not have the vaccine.
