Coronavirus: Only half of Britons say they would get a vaccine, poll reveals

Just over half of the UK would definitely get a coronavirus vaccine, with"damaging misperceptions" affecting potential uptake, a poll has revealed., researchers at King's College London and Ipsos Mori found.

One in six said they would definitely not get a vaccine or it would be very unlikely, the poll of 2,237 people between 16 and 75 showed. The study found that people were more likely to reject the vaccine because of their attitudes and beliefs about science and authority than reasons related toYoung people were twice as likely not to want a vaccine, with 22% of 16 to 34-year-olds saying they would not have one - compared to 11% of 55 to 75-year-olds.People who believe face masks are bad for people's health and do not reduce the spread of the virus were among those who disagreed with a vaccine.

Of those who said they would not get one, 34% believe the government is trying to control the population by getting them to wear masks and 36% think"too much fuss" is being made of the pandemic.

Here we go....skynews pushing the vaccine and trying to demonise people who don't want a vaccine. Is this the start of pushing for mandatory 🤬🤬🤬

I would certainly have the vaccine, and anyone who doesnt is a FOOL

So these “misperceptions” such as Bill Gates unhealthy vested interests and dangerous comments are to be dismissed as misperceptions....... ok then, if skynews says so.

Needs to be all in for effectiveness !

Sound, I will take 2 please

Why can't scientists globally work as hard at finding vaccines for other major diseases as they have for COVID19 ? If governments can put all this time, effort, resources and money into COVID19 then they can do it for other diseases,Viruses, conditions and illnesses.

I say no. A vaccin needs at least 10 years to elaborate , and even with that there are problems with other vaccines for side effets.

Well then, if that’s the case then we’ll never get out of this mess. it will be the selfish ones not getting vaccinated, being the ones moaning about having to lockdown again

I dont give a crap I wouldn't accept it if i had to dont trust none of it

These vaccines have been put together in 5 minutes, and the only reason for that is because of the economic and political damage COVID19 is doing around the world. It's not about helping people. It's about money and political ambitions.

I will rely on my immune system thanks not anti-vaccine either just they have not produced one against any of the coronavirus’s yet and the positive thing the hospitals are not overwhelmed anymore so something within our immunities is fighting back!

Obviously, 1/2 made the wrong decision, so we need a People's poll.

don't do it except if you have suicidal tendances 😎

Maybe if it wasn't basically just your average flu, people might want it.

Good. I will get a booster also.

There is no effective vax for SARs CoV-1, MERs or any of the influenza’s viruses. They have been trying for 20 yrs and keep failing. Why would SARs CoV-2 vax be any different? Swine flu jab was a scary failure! Ppl developed permanent damage. No thanks

It seems we do not actually trust the pharmaceutical industry as a whole ... is that coz profits come b4 safety in the rush to get a vaccine!

That’s their problem then. Once vaccination programme in in place, no social distancing, masks etc and you take your chances. Catch it, don’t blame anyone else. Hopefully Darwinism does the rest

that many?

I’d get it but definitely not straight away. I’d be waiting a good 6months to see the first batch play out before.

I guess half a nation of intelligent folks is better than none.

For sure when a huge risk with ADE!!

If we can help protect ourselves and others, I'm in!

fundamentally stupid country

Bet it's much less in the u.s.

'Only' Half of Britons think Eastenders is Drama. Is the solution to reclassify Eastenders as 'Documentary', or tell Half Of Britons to Grow The Fuck Up

Aaaah!!!! My vaccine won't work unless everyone has one! Aaaaahhh!!!

That’s enough for herd immunity so who cares

Bullshit. I wasn’t asked was anyone else? Another made up Statistic.

If Covid had a symptom where your genitals were falling off, there would of been a vaccine months ago!

How many people know that Vaccines are deemed acceptable if they are just 50% effective? 🤔

Considering it largely affects the elderly or with weakened immune systems, that makes a little sense.

Don’t try to change their minds. Natural selection at work.

Are you tired of the Fear mongering and Propaganda yet?

Wow only half!

Chemical junkies. Vaccines do not address the corrupt systems that implement illness and disease intentionally

It would probably be the wrong one

Pub landlord 'complacent' in enforcing Covid rulesLandlord of pub linked to coronavirus outbreak says he was 'simply not strong enough' enforcing rules He regrets that he got found out, meanwhile businesses like my employer suffer because a*seholes like this can't follow simple instruction and we continue to wait to be allowed to open despite incredible efforts to ensure covid safety. I do have sympathy. Can imagine starting with good intentions but so easy for things to slip as people get more intoxicated and you try to actually run the business of serving drinks. It's time for revolution, the virus has gone. Zero deaths today. This is regime change.
