Like you CafeAuLait I have friends who have different views about the vaccine and have made individual decisions about whether or not to have it. I am not at all anti-vaccine but I am concerned about this one. I thought long and hard about whether or not to have it. That doesn’t mean I was willing to rely on others to protect me, just that I weighed up all the information available to me and made a decision based on lots of factors.
I think I am more concerned about the psychological effects the last year or so has had on us all. Like Galaxy I struggle with people who can’t accept that everyone is entitled to hold a different opinion and to make their own choice. I find the judgments about people who decline to be vaccinated unpleasant and unhealthy. They are not all anti-vax conspiracy theorists, nor are they necessarily stupid or selfish or anti-authority. They may be quite the opposite - either way, they have every right to make their own choices, anything else would be dictatorship.
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
