According to a recent YouGov poll, 62% of the general public would support including the booster jab as a requirement under a vaccine passport scheme, which would prohibit those who haven’t received a booster jab from entering certain public venues, with only 25% expressing opposition to making the booster jab compulsory. In addition, 71% said that a booster jab should be mandatory, but only for those considered to be in a high-risk category who wish to enter public spaces such as restaurants. YouGov has more.
In the U.K, Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said that the Government was not looking at the idea yet but declined to rule it out altogether.
New research from YouGov reveals that the vast majority of people would support mandating a booster jab for not only the elderly or vulnerable but the wider population as well.
Overall, 69% of people would support making booster jabs a requirement for people aged 65 years old and over – including 45% strongly supportive of the idea. Only one in five people (21%) would oppose such an idea.
A similar 71% of the public would support a booster mandate for people considered to be at high risk from Covid who want to visit restaurants or use public transport.
Just shy of two-thirds of people (62%) would also support making booster jabs a requirement for the general public. This includes 36% who “strongly” support doing so. A quarter of people (25%) would oppose such a mandate on the general public.
It is the older generations who are most in favour of these mandates, even when they selectively apply to older people. Some 84% of those aged 65 years-old and over would support a requirement for people their age to have a booster before visiting public spaces. This compares to six in ten (60%) of people aged between 18 and 24 years-old who would also support such a policy.
This older age group are also the most likely to support a mandate on boosters for those at high-risk from Covid (86%) and a similar proportion would support one on the general public (82%). Only 48% of those aged between 18 and 24 years-old would support a booster requirement on the general public, with 34% opposed.

Stop Press: A new poll from SavantaComRes has made a similar finding: 45% of U.K. adults would support an indefinite lockdown of the unvaccinated.

Just goes to prove what a bunch of numpties the brainwashed masses are>
No they don’t.
Nonsense. They just make numbers up. Not even Science fiction , JUST Fiction. this was a live Survey . I have about 9 screenshots & over 25,000 were against every question by over 90%
Mr Yougov Zahawi is no doubt preening himself. Another required result.
Poll question:
Would you rather agree with the answer I’ve just put in front of you, or have your arms cut off?
Here’s a question, “Would you support mandatory vaccination or the gang rape of your family?” 62% of the UK said they support mandatory vaccination. What question were they asked? Does anyone know?
“According to You Gov poll”; next business!
This makes a good case for the reinstatement of capital punishment.
I have been saying for years that democracy is ill-suited to the complexity of our modern world because you have a majority (unthinking, uneducated, lazy and easily-influenced sheep) who get manipulated by those in charge. I suspect this poll result is bollocks but the fact that even a small % think there should be compulsory boosters proves my point.
Yougov polls are often very biased due to the way the question is biased to give the answer they want and also the way they select the people they ask. I think confidence in the results of these polls is completely lost once the way the above aspects have been investigated in past inaccurae results are taken into account.
The vaccinated want their decision to be validated (perhaps deep down they are a bit nervous about it), and the government making it mandatory is one way to do that.
It just proves how ill informed/mentally lazy most people are.
Of course we can rely on the poll as YouGov is an independent organisation with no narrative!
I was amazed the other day when speaking to my older sister (a Phd in biochemistry) that she thought the jabs would give her 95% protection and stop all transmission. I just hope she remembers what I told her!
So, there you have a retired scientist , high IQ, completely hoodwinked.
Literally unbelievable. When the Party buys a poll result from WuGov it typically shows 72% in favour of more Party.
Someone slipped up here, I expect MiniTruth will correct the figures shortly.
The people who trust a You Gov poll or a poll rolled out by a Govt funded commercial organisation are the same people who are amongst those now in hospital suffering the side effects of the ‘vaccine’.- still believing the fiction
WuGov, at this point.
I never realised how many closet Fascists there are in the UK.
Unfortunately, this government listens to opinion polls far more than it does evidence based science. I think those that use YouGov are predominantly left-leaning and socialist, so it’s no surprise they would like to see more state led interventionism. But polls are only a small sample from a particular cohort and not what the majority of the population think.
And even if this is a popular move amongst the public, the government are there to act in our best interests, not just do what the public want.
I no longer understand the world we live in when people will so readily give up their freedoms and rights. Dark days ahead.
Having filled in yougov polls for a year now I can safely say they are utterly meaningless, the questions are designed to elicit a certain answer. It’s the “when did you stop beating your wife” type of question, please stop giving publicity to this shameless propaganda.
Correct; you have to be wary of questions which give no “Don’t know” option; I am a long time YouGov account holder mainly for the fun of reading the largely rabid POVs on key issues but have consistently done as you and taken sceptical position on many issues – result , very few invitations.
Have complained several times about the “entrapment” answers – nil response
The zombie juice jabs are clearly working then! I truly despair for the future…
As usual, nonsense. Did they poll some bots? Or is it the vaccinated who will not admit that they were wrong who are now retaliating while they are maimed so everyone else can share their fate?
Polls are fine, provided you don’t compare them to reality.
Where are the pro vaxxers rallying? When will we see them marching in the tens of thousands? If they feel as strongly about their position as we on the other side feel about ours, why aren’t we seeing them filling city streets?
When the governments get away from heavy-handed coercion and try heavy–handed cajoling, the response is pitifully small. Campaigns aimed at getting the young vaccinated offering bribes like concert tickets have fallen on their face.
Explain this in conjunction with the other screen shot I posted
Explain this?
The ongoing COVID-19 nonsense here in the United States exists solely and exclusively because our governments have failed to use the correct treatment. They used so-called “vaccines” when Japan has just proven, in less than ONE MONTH, that Ivermectin can wipe out the disease. IVM was awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 2015. One of the 3 most important drugs in human history: Aspirin, Penicillin, and Ivermectin. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Stop pushing the enemy’s propaganda…..
THIS YOUGOV STATEMENT IS A COMPLETE LIE. I responded to that poll and at at 26,000 polsters, there was over 90% STRONGLY AGAINST forced injections and nearly every comment was against injections, lockdowns and all the other covid claptrap.
62 percent support freedom for them, but not for us.
The Tories don’t believe in anything except winning elections. They will track public opinion & introduce passports. Guaranteed.

Pushback Against Unnecessary, Ill-Advised, and Unlawful Mandates of Investigational Vaccines
Since the wave of public and private entity COVID-19 vaccine mandates this summer, there has been progressively stiffer resistance from a public that knows the mandates are unethical, immoral, and from a civil perspective—illegal. Because none of the COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, JNJ) are FDA approved or commercially sold by vaccine manufacturers to the public, Americans know the consent forms indicate vaccination can only be voluntary and that the vaccine products do not have proven safety or efficacy.
Thus, the consent forms by themselves are a clear indicator that no entity can “mandate” participation in a clinical investigation or research. Rates of COVID-19 vaccination plummeted in April of 2021 when word got out that Americans were dying and becoming injured after the injection in large numbers. Analyses from Rose and McLachlan using the CDC VAERS system indicated that 50% of the deaths occurred within 48 hours, 80% within a week, and 86% of the time, there was no other explanation other than the vaccine must have triggered the death.
From that point forward, there was a series of perverted efforts to… Read more »
Extract from a letter sent to the NZ Medical Council from a retired Doctor in Tauranga.
“… the still birth rate has rocketed. Usually there are 114 still births per year for the entire country but in just two weeks Hastings alone had 9 still births in vaccinated mothers who were following your advice to get the vaccine. You are responsible for the death of those babies. You have blood on your hands. I suppose you are also in denial regarding the deaths of teenagers.
We have 2 siblings dead after the vaxathon in Christchurch – a girl aged 15 and a boy aged 17. Plus a 17 year old boy in Northland and a 13 year old in the South Island – both dead the day after their vaccination -and a 14 year old boy in South Auckland who died 2 hours after his vaccination. Also the 17 year old girl whose death should have stopped the roll out but was instead blamed, prior to any autopsy report, on the pill – which she had been prescribed some time prior so therefore the GP would have checked for clotting risk factors at that point in time.
I know a… Read more »
And of course no one is ever fully vaccinated! It was a useless or indeed misleading statement. These vaccines were always going to be like the flu vaccine but no one seemed to want to admit that. I keep hoping this mad drive to inject every adult, child and baby will come to an end but it is just getting worse and worse. Please rescue us Ron De Santos, let us have asylum in Florida.
I agree with you – but at least the flu vaccine was always voluntary – you was never refused travel, jobs, access to sports venues, restaurants and theatres etc etc because you hadn’t had the annual flu jab The health service is already short staffed but can you imagine the pressure on the NHS if the entire population had to be vaccinated every few months – it would be chaos – how many vital operations, treatments and scans for much more fatal diseases than covid would be delayed due to lack of staff and resources – all too busy giving out mandatory jabs for a virus that for the overwhelming vast majority of people has a 99.7% survival rate .
if Ron De Santos won’t come to save us then I’ll go to Ron De Santos to save myself from this madness … if the Floridian governor announced that asylum would be provided for all the European unvaccinated who are being persecuted by their governments then I would seriously consider leaving for Florida tomorrow.
Bollox to Boris.
