Re: Majority of Spaniards will not....
Very sad. Those same people will happily ignore the effects of taking designer drugs, smoking, drinking .
In 1918, Spanish flu lasted for 2 years. The second wave killed far more people than the first, in total there were 4 waves. An estimated 20 million to 50 million people died. Here we are 102 years later, and what have we learned? https://scontent.flhr4-2.fna.fbcdn.n...a7&oe=5FF0942F |

We live in a time where the truth of the information we receive can only be verified by putting in effort. In the pre-virtual, post war era trust was basically all you had if you weren't to be labelled a communist or mad Since then the nature of truth became wobbly but essentially held together by a bond of honesty which still prevailed amongst politicians and media moguls. In the last few years the rise of populism has put paid to that. Lying is seen as an acceptable political tool if it sustains what are seen as necessary goals. Trump lies, Cummings lied, Johnson and Farage lie. For these people it worked ( well maybe not now forTrump). People simply do not trust authority anymore. Add in the context of fiction which also contributes to our world understanding. Our constant diet of TV and films where the need to be entertained forces writers to adjust facts ( The Crown, Braveheart,The Imitation Game) and you have a perfect storm for the coming scepticism and cynicism which will mark the next decade |

I know quite a few British people, me included, who will refuse the vaccine until it has been tested thoroughly, say at least one year. If all the politicians were willing to have it done first then I might reconsider. I still have memories of the thalidomide vaccine supposedly being a miracle and going to work wonders........

Thalidomide wasn't a vaccine. It was a drug prescribed to pregnant women to combat excessive morning sickness, and is now used to treat certain forms of cancer.

Re: Majority of Spaniards will not....
Should those who do decide to be vaccinated get a certificate to say they have had it, and subsequently be exempt from whatever restrictions have to remain in place until a sufficiently large proportion of the population have had either the virus or the vaccine, do you think? I am inclined to think so.

I'm happy to be at the front of the queue, but unfortunately though near the front I will not be first.

Re: Majority of Spaniards will not....
A lot of the doubts seem to revolve aroud the Pfizer vaccine being the first ever mrna vaccine. I understand the Oxford vaccine is not, and therefore might be more popular.

Re: Majority of Spaniards will not....
What do people keen to be vaccinated believe the vaccine will bestow on them and the community and for how long?

Luckily, we are not in the same country or I would elbow you out of the queue 🤣 Whether ppl want to get vaccinated or not in the end it will be the airlines who give you the choice: you can only fly if you have proof of vaccination. |

If they believe that the vaccine will give them the protection that they desire then what do they have to fear from those not vaccinated? |
