It is because there are those who do not understand what this virus is all about. If you do not understand you are frightened, and my plain talking frightens people. To quote George Orwell, "The further society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it!
Please note even all of the Uk was vaccinated, the nasty reality is that Astra Zeneca has little protection in medical journals against the delta Plus variant. Secondly, lets not forget how the Uk acted for its own benefit and grabbed most of the initial Astra Zeneca vaccine for its own population leaving the EU behind,. That strategy might bite the Uk now while it drops all precautions for political milestone dates that have nothing to do with reality or science. Lastly the problem in Spain and on Mallorca lies with supply chains of vaccines , a problem in part created by the UK at the start of vaccines coming to market for hording the first tens of millions of doses of it ..... which it still is doing ....
Don't understand why the 2 Nigel comments received negative responses? Everyone has been saying how slow our vaccination process is,and how important it is to vaccinate everybody.
If they concentrated on vaccinating the islands population, got used to the idea covid is here to stay, it would save a lot of money, frustration and unhappiness.
Why do they not just get the residents (those that wish) of Mallorca vaccinated? Then they would have no more problem students or anyone else. It is such a simple answer, to a problem that we have to live with.
