‘Mumbo jumbo’ anti-vaxxers
Ministers had done everything to ensure that those most susceptible to becoming ill were vaccinated. The PM reiterated his belief and urged everyone to go ahead and get immunized.
He also supported the National Insurance rise planned for later this fiscal year. This was after one Cabinet minister urged him not to do so because of cost of living concerns.
Boris today stated that he wants people “to be happy.” “understand the pressures that omicron is causing”And “recognise the vital importance of a vaccination”.
The PM launched his biggest attack on anti-vaxxers yet. “putting this mumbo-jumbo on social media – they are completely wrong”.
He insisted that he did not intend to follow other countries and force people to get vaccines. “we’re going to keep a voluntary approach”.
Today’s visit by the PM to Northampton saw him say: “What a tragedy we’ve got all that pressure on NHS with difficulties our doctors and nurses are facing.
“And there are people out there talking nonsense about vaccinations, and they are completely wrong.
“And I believe it’s high time that they, the government, be called out.
“What they are doing is completely wrong and totally counterproductive. They’re spreading complete mumbo-jumbo on social media.
“The NHS is under huge pressure.”
