Perhaps those who were brought up during the war years do not want to accept the German one.

My parents had their second vaccine this afternoon.  Said it was extremely busy, that they hadn’t seen so many old people in one place for ages. Both of them are in 85+ 😀

The people doing this are wrong, of course, but my feeling is that they are likely actually a very small minority.

Why are they wrong - of course?

I will re-phrase.

In my opinion they are wrong.

This story has been reported in The Daily Mail (which gives the impression that hordes of over 80’s are refusing it) and in The Metro.

I wonder if they shop at ALDI or LIDL?
Or drive an AUDI or VW car?

I wonder whether they have checked the source of medication they have previously been prescribed or bought

That's better - its a good job we do all have different opinions on things or the world would be a very boring place.

My husband gets so cross at the politicians who constantly refer to ‘kids’ in discussions re education.

Etymology online has "kids" for children going back to at least 1590, and well established by 1812.

Elderly Britons are REFUSING to take Pfizer's Covid vaccine because they would rather 'wait for the English one' with the POLICE getting leftover doses so they don't go to waste..................

Over-80s have turned their noses up at the Belgian-made shots in Stockton-on-Tees and insisted on having the Oxford jab, according to Dr Paul Williams who is administering the vaccine to residents.

They like nothing better than to divide people and whip up righteous anger.
