The UK stared vaccinating this morning. The more people refuse to be vaccinated because of some idiotic conspiracy theory, the better for me, because it'll speed up my own vaccination. I saw a poll recently that said France had more vaccine sceptics than other EU countries. I'm commenting from memory, but in the UK less than 20% were vaccine sceptics whilst in France it was more than 50%.
I suppose that will be similar in Italy which has similar mandatory vaccine laws as France. Other EU countries are agonising over making the vaccine mandatory. (Finland is one.) Personally I think the easiest way to persuade everyone to get vaccinated is to make a coronavirus vaccination certificate obligatory at customs before traveling by air or entering a foreign country.
