Under-18s could be ‘reservoirs’ for virus when all adults are jabbed, expert warnsUnvaccinated children have potential to drive third wave of highly transmissible Delta variant, says virologist I will have problems and scandals every time I meet misinformers, alcoholics, liars, crooks, unconscious, the possessed, the insane, the devils, the satans, etc. Just because over 18s will have been double vaccinated won't stop them getting the virus.
