I watched QT as I was interested to listen to the unvaccinated and learn their reasons for their refusal to have the vaccine. The panel was well balanced, I thought, with Victor Adebowale, Chair of the NHS Confederation, Professor Robin Shattock, from Imperial College, London and an A&E consultant amongst them. I was expecting an intelligent debate but it didn't turn out that way. One member of the audience was spouting incorrect information about who had 'invented' the vaccines and the unknown effects of receiving it. Professor Shattock, an eminent scientist in his field and with a wealth of knowledge of viruses, politely put him straight and said that the vaccine has been put in billions of arms and the benefits hugely outweigh the tiny percentage of people who have died after receiving their jab and may have died anyway. This lad starts thumbing through piles of paperwork and mentions some study from 1997 which has no bearing on the Covid vaccines at all. At this point Fiona Bruce intervened and asked him why, when he was able to speak directly to one of the worlds leading scientists, he was questioning the facts he was being told. I was worried that giving the unvaccinated a platform on QT might have fuelled their determination that they are right but it did the opposite and made them look a bit silly, really.
