Nonetheless, Dr Diwakar adds there are communities that have"entirely legitimate and understandable concerns" about vaccines. It might seem strange that journalists ask the same question twice but doing so gives the politician time to think about it and offer a different answer if they want to second time around – sometimes this might be because they didn't have time to think for the first go . Other times it's because asking the question again forces a politician to say something new, which can sometimes give you a different result.Jason Groves, from the Daily Mail, also with a question about summer holidays.

I back that. We need to remember the dead

The irony that an article saying that 'They are not just statistics' is posted on a mainstream media channel is amazing. All MSM do, EVERYDAY, is bombard us with statistics, in turn dehumanising/desensitizing all to the fact that those numbers represent HUMAN LIVES. Hypocrisy 👁

Why? What will it achieve? What benefit will people get from it other than the chance to virtue signal all over again?

WHERE is all the money coming from for these ridiculous ideas?
