Tony Blair was quoted recently as saying: "If you're not vaccinated at the moment you're not just irresponsible, you're an idiot." But is that a fair way to describe the decisions people face?
The Daily Sceptic's in-house doctor has looked at the latest ICNARC data and concluded that unvaccinated Covid patients in ICUs are not 'overwhelming' the NHS. In fact, on Nov 15th there were only about 400 in England.
In a recent interview with Sky News, Sajid Javid declared that the unvaccinated are having a "damaging impact" on society, while also refusing to rule out a post-Christmas lockdown.
From Tuesday, unvaccinated close contacts of Covid cases must self-isolate for 10 days, whereas the double jabbed can avoid this requirement if they test negative.
From today, all Italians must be fully vaccinated (or have recently recovered from the virus) before they are granted access to numerous public venues under the country's new 'super green pass' law.
In an original essay for the Daily Sceptic, Kathrine Jebsen Moore draws on the work of Mathias Desmet to explain the willingness of apparently liberal people to scapegoat the unvaccinated for the resurgence of the virus.
