America has hit a roadblock in the coronavirus pandemic.
A hard, very dangerous and completely unnecessary roadblock.
Put bluntly, a lot of deluded, ill-informed, shamefully scare-mongered, or simply complacent Americans have got it into their heads that either the covid vaccines are somehow more dangerous than covid itself, or the virus isn't serious enough to warrant protection from it.
Some of these sceptics believe the insane conspiracy-theory that the US Government is using vaccines to plant microchips in their heads to control their minds. (Don't laugh: a recent Economist/YouGov poll revealed that 20% of Americans really do suspect this.)
Many more, tens of millions of people across the United States, are hesitant to get jabbed for all manner of other reasons ranging from doubts about the vaccine's efficacy, to a fear they impair fertility, damage pregnancy, alter DNA, magnetize you, or even actively help transmit the virus.
These unsubstantiated theories have been fuelled by anti-vaxxer whack-jobs online, and especially on social media.
And they have sadly begun to have a very real and deadly influence, as I can personally attest.
I've just had covid, the Delta variant, despite being fully vaccinated with the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine.
It was an unpleasant experience and I felt quite sick, as sick as I've felt from any illness, but I never came close to being hospitalized or dying.
So, the vaccine worked: it stopped me getting seriously ill.
But when I revealed this on Twitter and Instagram, and urged people to get jabbed, I was promptly bombarded with an astonishing amount of utterly insane and incredibly vitriolic responses from the anti-vaxxer brigade – many of them in America.

Hi.
“I’ve just had covid, the Delta variant, despite being fully vaccinated with the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine.”
I’ll wager that those who had the first Rona, have greater immunity against all variants, than those with the Jab.

I thought this was the Bee, and was total sarcasm. Hard to believe someone actually wrote these words. He seems really angry and filled with hate...

Thanks Alex
America helped England crush the Nazi’s. Now the UK has morphed into the modern Nazi’s.
I am not a lethal threat to Limey’s like YOU, Mr. Piers Morgan. Leave me alone. you nutjob.
Those who have had the jabs should have NO reason to care about those who have not... IF THE SHOTS ARE EFFECTIVE.
How can the unjabbed be killing the jabbed?
Delta Variant today, Echo Variant tomorrow, Foxtrot Variant after that...ad nauseum.
Endless booster shots will still equal endless failure.
We all know where this is going...
reminds me of the #metoomovement. "Important" people ( you know, actors, musicians and media) knocking each other over to proclaim they've been molested or sexually abused, like we care.
You are welcome, Comrade.
And that doesn't raise any question marks about the "vaccine" in his empty little head.
The title clearly suggests this will be a very centrist, non-biased perspective.
All of this is brought to you by the people who told you -
The earth was going to turn into a fireball and Florida would be underwater (1989 I believe).
The SUV was the most existential threat to the planet (1991).
We would have no trees left in the world (1994 I believe).
Peak Oil
Peak Population
Peak food
Now they are on to peak water.
Trump was a lackey of Putin.
Trump supporters are white supremacist domestic terrorists
Nobody spied on Trump.
A vaccine would end the pandemic until it didn’t.
Herd immunity. Nope.
Masks would save lives. Standing 5’ 6” from someone at the grocery jeopardized their health but 6’0 and there were no problems at all!
The Biden laptop was Russian misinformation
The IC is not spying on you
Government loans would make higher education more affordable for the poor (remember that one?)
No reasonable prosecutor would take the Hillary case
There is no inflation and if there is its only temporary
Mandating mortgages based on demographics was a good thing and would make the housing market more healthy.
I could sit here and write for a very long time.
“America’s anti-vaxxer lunatics are snatching covid defeat from the jaws of vaccinated victory with their conspiracy-theory garbage and must be stopped from destroying everybody’s freedom”
He says without an irony as he is demanding that peoples freedom of choice be thrown out the window and they be forced to comply with something that they disagree with.
No one is claiming the jab is preventing infections anymore. Just hospitalizations.
Blaming the unjabbed for the sick jabbed.
Next step, forcible removal of the unjabbed.
I didn’t know piers was such an ignorant a-hole.
There is nothing logical about his line of thinking here. He cannot serve as both a vaccinated person and a "test group" non-vaccinated person for the same episode of the same viral infection. He has no way of knowing if his illness would have been more serious had he not been vaccinated, since he never had COVID in a non-vaccinated state.
Piers, your comments are most unscientific.
“It was an unpleasant experience and I felt quite sick, as sick as I’ve felt from any illness, but I never came close to being hospitalized or dying.”
That’s the same experience most unvaccinated people have with COVID.
Is that anti vax? I consider it to be self defense.
It’s called being sensible. Most of us healthy people understand that we will almost certainly beat COVID with no treatment. Or we will beat it with a little treatment. After that we will have natural immunity that is FAR more effective than any treatments (vaccines) they’ve put out so far.
