It seems to be now recognised that the anti-vaccination message, carried on platforms like Facebook, are gaining traction and could put lives at risk in the event of a vaccine being developed for Covid-19 (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/jul/14/hancock-anti-vaccine-myths-on-facebook-put-lives-at-risk). It is claimed that the 'antivaxx message' is largely funded by only 2 shadowy organisations. Quite a high number of people might now refuse an injection. This suggests that the chances of a population developing 'herd immunity' (if this is ,in any sense, possible), would be negligible. The situation is, I feel, unlikely to be improved by simply talking nicely to Nick Clegg.
