Compulsory vaccination will never work. Once you get to the hardcore selfish & uncaring ones how will it work getting them vaccinated🤷🏻‍♂️. It’s a nightmare that I will never support. Make it uncomfortable for them to get away with it but not arrest & physically vax against their will that is not acceptable.

My disable daughter who a vulnerable person and has no understanding of vaccination was forcible vaccinated with my agreement . Why should those people you describe as "selfish and uncaring " be given kid glove treatment?

The staff at her care home were along with thousands of others in the industry given a choice vaccination or find another job, perhaps Brue's grandson should be offered the same choice.

Grandson works in engineering as his day job, I expect there are many unvaccinated employees and employers across all types of work. We haven't found a way to persuade him, I'm just quoting him as an example. We also have two unvaccinated neighbours, retired, ex NHS workers. No-one is giving them kid glove treatment, in fact they are at risk. There is a lengthy page on the ONS Coronavirus web site "latest insights" which gives details of vaccine progress and attitudes.

Try moving our 6'7" grandson to a vaccination centre, it would be like moving Gulliver! I was hoping the Covid pass for night clubs would curb his style til I read he could use a lateral flow test. However he acts as a DJ all over the country in his spare time and I'm hoping he'll give in soon and get "vaxed." His parents have their booster this Saturday...maybe they'll have another go at persuading him.

He is still a danger (we can argue  how much) to his workmates and customers in his night time job. Nobody asked me whether I wanted to comply with safety regulations in a coal mine there 2 choices, comply or get another job and I am of the opinion it should be offered to everyone in employment.
