Those who complain about wearing them and base their arguments on the lack of personal protection they afford are simply demonstrating their selfish nature. You wear one to protect others.

I'm relieved that despite the negative publicity most people are still turning up, even if the numbers did take a hit at the height of the bad press and unhelpful EU interjections. Let's hope the positive coverage today results in some of those who didn't show, booking again. It would seem to be the sensible thing to do.

Update: I was working at the mass vaccine centre today we had 1300 appointments unfortunately around 100 couldn't be bothered to turn up. This seems to be par for the course and is quite disgraceful. What made it even more annoying was that most of the missed appointments were late in the day we had to assume they were coming until they didn't so we had vaccine left over. Unfortunately we were also told we are closed for April due to the vaccine shortages, quite annoying as we had just hit our stride and like I said we were doing 1300 a day. Take your pick as to whose at fault the EU or India. Edited by Badger11 (26 Mar 2021 7.19pm) One more point

We of course see that people have some ill advised takes on the vaccine - that's for them - but if someone actually books an appointment, it shouldn't be too much to ask that they actually commit to turning up to have it. Unfortunate, but logically they made the wrong choice so more fool them. They might be in for a long wait if they change their minds now..

There's almost no point in listening to Johnson at this point as he holds a different opinion every 5 minutes. I do sympathise with the youngsters, in so much that covid doesn't personally affect the vast majority, and with school and uni over the past year I would wager that masses of them have had covid anyway.
