At one point yesterday, 70% of Bolton had had 1 vaccine at least, whereas 70% of COVID cases in the 4 Bolton hospitals were not vaccinated at all, and all but one patient was eligible for a vaccine. Hence the "we will find a reason to vaccinate you" position of those in the field. I am one of those making calls to those not vaccinated and it becomes fairly clear that those who are in the hesitancy group have no idea how risky their personal circumstances are, in terms of where they live, their personal health profile, and the amount of social contact going on around them. I just hope that not too many people die of stupidity.
