The debate on vaccine hesitancy has so far focused primarily on ethnicity, but new findings by the ONS suggest that variation by age is also significant. The new figures reveal that whilst a black person is roughly six times more likely to express vaccine hesitancy than a white person, someone aged 16 to 29 is 17 times more likely to be unsure than someone aged 80 or over. Here are the key findings on age:
In the first phase of the vaccine rollout in the UK, the Joint Committee of Vaccinations and Immunization (JCVI) advised on priority groups that included those aged 50 years and over. Our analysis of older age groups is consistent with this advice, with additional groups covering those aged 16 to 29 years and 30 to 49 years.
Among adults aged 16 to 29 years, 17% reported hesitancy towards the coronavirus vaccine, compared with 1% of adults aged 80 years and over. The same proportion of adults aged 70 to 74 years and those aged 75 to 79 years reported vaccine hesitancy (both 1%).
Here are the key findings on ethnicity:
Adults of ethnic minority backgrounds were more likely to report vaccine hesitancy when compared with White adults (8%). Among adults with ethnic minority backgrounds, Black or Black British adults were most likely to report vaccine hesitancy (44%).
The most common reasons for negative vaccine sentiment were reported as follows:
Similar reasons were reported for negative sentiment towards the vaccine. The most common reasons were:
I am worried about the side effects (44%)
I am worried about the long-term effects on my health (43%)
I would wait to see how well the vaccine works (40%)
I do not think it will be safe (24%)
These reasons remained consistent across all population groups, however there were some differences in the other reasons reported.

Private Fraser knew a thing or two.
This is the biggest FU to everyone possible. The ultimate Manchurian candidate and uber creep hunt. I actually laughed when I saw the appointment he only wanted to weld ppl in their homes over a flu. The Tory wets are essentially filth.
Spot on 😤
Our democracy is a joke.
Oligarchs and their institutions run the show.
They let the “democratic process” run its course. After that it’s pretty simple. The elected official can either toe the line and do what’s expected of them or be relentlessly undermined by rigged financial markets combined with relentless media pressure until they either do “the right thing” or lose their job.
Why anyone would bother to vote in an election is really beyond me. It’s so completely and utterly pointless.
The elected official can either toe the line and do what’s expected of them or be relentlessly undermined by rigged financial markets combined with relentless media pressure until they either do “the right thing” or lose their job.
That’s a horrific statement, but I’m afraid it’s spot on.
Unless of course, you make the break from voting for either team red or team blue.
I turn up and spoil my ballot. For me it us about saying:’I am here. I am not alone. If you are wise you learn to fear me and my kind.’
It is the sort of idea that Thomas Jefferson had in mind.
I doubt few things will get them to fear our kind more than a significant majority simply not turning up at all to participate in their quadrennial democracy charade.
The whole party is ‘wet’ and has been for the last 30 years. They allow Redwood, Davis, Davies, Patel, Mcvey, Baker and others to talk tough on immigration, freedom of speech, law and order etc but it’s all designed to fool the credulous centre Right voter to give the Party their vote at election time. Those Tory MPs who identify as centre Right haven’t made jot of difference in halting the big state, globalist liberal Left drift of the Party. These MPs have carved a very comfortable little niche for themselves in the Party machine with far too many suckers buying into this ruse.
I would like to register the fact that Labour is even worse.
I will not be voting Tory ever again. Whichever of the none mainstream parties has the nouse to put up a candidate in my area will get my vote, though presumably the global blob is busily extinguishing resistance and none compliance everywhere. I do believe we are heading that way, and I don’t believe enough people understand what is going on to help prevent it happening. They’ve been very carefully groomed for several decades.
Nasty piece of work, that Hunt is. A proper little weasel.
If I am ever to vote Tory again (i.e. vote), the party had better rid itself of people like this, never mind not have people like this in positions of any power, let alone goddamn Chancellor!
But then, I know, people who want and get power are all the same…
“Eliminate COVID”… FFS it’d be easier to eliminate oxygen.
You may have a long wait.
What a big Hunt he is.
Difficult to find a bigger one!
If Typhoo put the T in Britain who put the —— in Scunthorpe?
He is a hunt in a House of Hunts.
Elimination is very much on my mind too and its not Covid!
Acts like a Hunt, looks like a Hunt, must be a Hunt.
Roll on with the collapse of GB into the arms of the Globalists.
Can we please have a revolution now?
I hope he rots in Hell.
I believe he ranks just behind Blair and Trudeau.
Mind you, there’s a bloody long list of the bastards.
As far as I’m concerned, the appointment of Hunt means Truss has been deposed. The Tories can’t afford another leadership contest, so they’ve left her as PM in name only, but no longer having any power.
Hunt is the worst choice imaginable for government. He’s another Matt Hancock-in-waiting. His presence in No11 terrifies me. It also settles me on not voting Tory at the next election.
The lockdowns pretty much already had done that, with the risk of a Lab-SNP pact being the threat that kept me onside, but I’d rather have an opponent to fight against than a party sitting ‘in power’ that pretends to be on ‘my side’ when it hates me and pursues much the same type of policy as Labour.
The Tory party is dead. God help us all.
Voting is now irrelevant, certainly in the UK, where Labour was and is already running the country anyway- if DeSantis runs and wins in 2 years, that might be the exception.
The LeftGreen Authoritarian Nihilist Globalist Civil Service Bloaters are and will fight dirty to remain in power. Everywhere.
They made this very clear with their successful attack on the UK, Kwarteng and Truss.
After getting rid of Boris, there was little chance of a progressive conservative policy getting very far. The rest of the G7 is regressing, and all this talk of growth and energy independence was too far for the people who really run the country to allow to continue.
Well said
Remember that ALL tyranies fall in the end. You will never defeat the people
It took over 40 years for the Iron Curtain to fall. At 77 I’ll not see the fall of an equivalent tyranny on that time scale. Please can we have the counter-revolution soon? I’m good at making tea and polishing pikestaffs.
After all the death and destruction caused by the Tories, particularly since March 2020, are you saying you would have still voted for them until yesterday when Chunt was elevated to Chancellor? Really?
I detest Starmer’s ‘inner channeling of Blair’ Labour and the flippy-floppy LibDems, with a vengeance. The Greens are nothing to praise, either. There is no decent opposition to the charlatans currently in power. Indeed, the ‘opposition’ share the responsibility for the wanton destruction and havoc caused by the Tories tyrannical policies, voting with, spurring them on and supporting them in the Great Lie of Covid.
However, ultimately the Tories / Conservative Party are the ones who have been and currently remain in power with a greater number of seats in the Palace of Lies – the House of Commons – and as such, they alone bear the ultimate responsibility for what has happened irrespective of the aiding and abetting by the ‘opposition’.
I am shocked that anyone would contemplate voting for the Conservatives ever again. Totally shocked.
Surely it is illogical to use “the death and destruction … since March 2020” as the very reason to vote for Labour when we know that they would have (at best) done the same as the Tories did on lockdowns, vaccines, testing, furlough, etc. In all likelihood, lockdowns under Labour would have been longer and with “more generous” publicly-funded subsidies, giving rise to an even worse outcome in terms of inflation and the country’s financial state.
But there are no Conservatives to vote for.
The Tory Party died on 22 November 1990.
Bas tards !!!…
This doesn’t sound like a person who should be out unsupervised in public.
Too right. Hunt is a dangerous furqhar.
Today has been a very dark day in British politics, and in British history.
Although we may like to think the covid crimes are history, my gut tells me there’s a very long way to get out of this, and much blood to be spilt along the way.
Batten down the storm hatches, and weather it through, if you can.
Thank goodness he’s only in charge of the Economy…
For now
My tongue is firmly in my cheek…
The economy is already screwed by the idiocy of Net Zero….
Since there is so little left if it, it doesn’t matter.
Just says it all about Truss’ total incompetence to appoint yet another total failure in a previous ministerial job as Chancellor
I don’t think Truss has appointed him. I think she is now working within some strong guidelines provided by the Powers That Be. Thats the penalty for going off-piste and trying to advance the country and its prospects.
Agreed. Seems clear that she’s no longer got hands on the steering wheel ( if she ever did) and rather like the demented Biden, globalist powers behind the scenes are pulling the levers.
Like hire like kind so as not to feel challenged.
Zero COVID makes about as much sense as Zero Flu. Ain’t gonna happen, as that train left the station nearly three years ago.
Bob Moran’s take on this appointment….
He’s brilliant and a genius.
I hope you mean Bob!
The mind boggles. A failed minister appointed to one of the most important positions in the government!!!!!
I fear for the direction of the UK, it does not bode well.
Despite ALL we know about the spread of COVID, what does Jeremy consider the right approach to covid now? Anyone else like to hear an apology from him for being part of the health officials and gov’t officials that have committed crimes against humanity. I am sure his sister in Bejing is very content living in a police state. If Jeremy thinks this is an ideal way to live, perhaps he would consider emigrating to China.
“ If Jeremy thinks this is an ideal way to live, perhaps he would consider emigrating to China.”
Hear hear my friend!!!
First link was prior to the Unt’s appt, but Alexander Mercouris called it on Thursday and gave a chilling view of dark times ahead, plus an update yesterday. The return of Sunak? https://rumble.com/v1ntqzi-regime-change-plot-in-uk.-dark-times-ahead.html https://rumble.com/v1nz2x0-kwarteng-gone.-elensky-curse-coming-for-truss.-sunak-next-in-line.html
How about modifying the heading – how about: “We should aim for bankruptcy”? It would go with the smiling image of him. He’ll get there.
“Statesman” – an individual within Government whose philosophy and actions put the welfare of the country at the heart of their decision making.
“Politician” – a hypocritical and self centred individual within government who will lie and cheat and climb up a pile of 5h1t to further their own personal interests even if their decisions damage the country.
Top of the pile of 5h1t? A certain J. Hnut. When Health Minister he failed to publish the report from Exercise Cygnus in 2016. This showed the country was woefully unprepared for a pandemic.
If the report had been published it would have been an embarrassment to Hnut and his oversight of the country’s health. It might also have better prepared us to cope with C19 and stopped all the hysterical over reaction seen since 2020.
So this politician, who was too stupid to see the potential problems identified by Exercise Cygnus is going to be in charge of the country’s piggy bank? I doubt he can even count without using his fingers and toes. Any chance of the negative attitudes of the Treasury Blob being changed have gone up in smoke and the chances of the tax and spend Labour lot taking over are an odds on certainty.
Bar Stewards, the lot of them. A plague on their houses.
“Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.”
But Hunt does rhyme with….
And of course a certain presenter on GBN took special care at expressing his pronunciation of his name! Saying something without actually doing so is a skill in its own right.

A very worrying development, this is perhaps the most dangerous development to date, this creature will like Gollum be eyeing up the precious thing, that of the role of Prime Minister, once in position we will truly be under the control of the ccp and Wef. Lockdowns will look like happy times compared to what this man will visit on us.
The Conservative Party really has become quite revolting.
We now have another dirty little WEF puppet as chancellor.
The higher they go…the harder they fall…
The new Prime Minister.
What is the Zombie Truss creature’s new rôle?
Just the man to deliver Zero Economy.
Poverty for all (aka equality) is going to be sooo… 2023.
My goodness, is there no photograph ever taken of this man when he doesn’t have that insane glint in his eyes. God help Britain!
