A Third of Under-40s in England Haven’t Had a Single Covid Vaccine Dose

The Government has confirmed that vaccine passports will be introduced later this month, by which time all U.K. adults will have had the opportunity to get both doses of a Covid vaccine. But the latest figures show that a third of under-40s in England have – up till now – decided not to take up this offer – not even for their first dose. The Telegraph has the story.

Just 66% of these young adults have had a first dose, with rates barely rising since the start of July. 

Broken down, those aged 25 to 29 have the lowest first dose rate at 63.1%, followed by 18 to 24 year-olds on 64.9%, 30 to 34 year-olds on 65.8% and rising to 70.3% for those aged 35 to 39.

And only 52% of under-40s in England are fully jabbed with both doses. 

The latest Government dashboard data, up to September 4th, comes as Boris Johnson plans to impose vaccine passports on nightclubs and other large indoor venues from the end of this month, when all over-18s will have been offered two doses. …

Uptake levels are far higher in older age groups, and overall 88.8% of Britons aged over 16 have had a first dose and 79.8% a second. More than 90% of adults are also estimated to have Covid antibodies.

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: The New Statesman has produced a graphic on the uptake of Covid vaccines in different age groups in England from January to September 2021.

Another factor here is that absolutely nobody has the faintest clue how many people there are in the country. I didn’t fill in my census form and I’m a lifelong resident and British citizen. There are millions more people living in this country than the official figures suggest.

These days I always take official government statistics with an open mind.
If I assume that a third of under 40’s havent been injected, then Im dismayed its such a low percentage and that two thirds were willing take part in an experimental sequenced gene therapy trial that will not be concluded until 2023.

Good point, it can take decades to assess the impact of traditional vaccines.
I can only guess they already know how many will be killed or injured with this experiment by 2023?

timsk

My guess is (and I’m no an expert in this field), that the trials can be concluded but the conclusions won’t be worth the (virtual) paper they’re written on. It also means that if the vaccinated all start to:
A. die off at alarming rates from some sort of cancer (negative outcome) or . . .
B. survive some type of cancer that would previously have killed them (positive outcome)
. . .they won’t be able to attribute either outcome to the vaccine because there’s no control group. As the adverse reactions totally swamp any positive reactions (are there any?), this situation will suit both the government and big pharma very well. The cynic in me thinks that this is one of the reasons they want as many people as possible to have the vaccine, i.e. so that the unvaxxed don’t become the default control group.

What trial? Big Pharma does what it always does – as soon as a trial is concluded a success they then “vaccinate” the unvaxed. control group.
We refuseniks are the only true control group left.
It would be wonderful evidence based medicine for our health to be monitored as against the vaxed.
I’m sure the powers that be have all this in hand.

Petition: Repeal the Coronavirus Act
The powers given to the UK Government under the Coronavirus Act have gone on too long and has greatly affected many people’s lives and the economics of this country. The restrictions that have been put in place under these powers should be ended by repealing this Act in its entirety.
 
Come on folks. We may be between a rock and a hard place (sorry for the Americanism) but at the very least we should all sign this Petition.

Have they stopped hassling people as much? I’m over 40 (although not by much) and earlier in the year I was getting regular harassment – the blue-envelope letters quite often, text messages every week. I complained repeatedly and they eventually told me there was no way to opt out – but I’ve heard nothing at all for several months now. Long may it continue!

I’m under 40 and I too was bombarded earlier in the year. At one point I was receiving a text message every day, and that lasted for several weeks. As it happens I got a text message about 2 weeks ago informing me that the Delta variant was rampant in my local town (ooooooohhhh!) and I should run to the v centre to have my jab asap, but before that there was quite a large break in the harassment being hurled my way. The sheer volume of it could definitely break the spirit of somebody who was on the fence.

I’m a little bit younger than you and received the promotional leaflet and letter in the post in March. As it had no address to return it to, or any obvious way of doing anything other than booking an appointment (it’s all been done at a hired central location rather than GP surgeries where I live), I did not reply to it at all. Instead, I wrote to the surgery at which I’m registered and said no, in effect. Sent it by email, and they replied in less than an hour, in which they just said that if I changed my mind, they’d put me on the “waiting list” – probably just an automatic term used for many things. Nothing more at all from them, and just one more promotional letter which I ignored, and nothing more from that organisation either.

My attitude is pretty much like yours. There’s a vague possibility that I might have dealt with it before it was officially announced at the back end of 2019. No one is interested in that, except by selling upmarket services for T cell assessment. There’s a little bit about that in the Forum today.

I received two letters, three texts and two phone calls from my surgery, I answered the second call and asked the caller to provide me with up to date percentages of adverse reactions in my age group with my medical history, she couldn’t (obviously) I then informed her that I felt under increasing harrassment to get jabbed, she replied that they didn’t want anyone to feel harrassed and ive heard nothing since for five months.

It may be true, I never said it wasn’t, but the fact is it remains hearsay.

I think a far stronger argument would be to assert that the methods used for estimating the population are far from reliable and that the government has a vested interest in deceiving the public. These facts alone are enough to cast doubt on the veracity of population figures.

It’s possibly because 18-24 year olds are more easily bribed by the risk of losing access to concerts, clubs and even study. The 25-30 bracket are maybe a little more settled and go out less?

Given the risk profiles of the different age groups, the chart makes perfect sense. Why would people under 40 be queueing up to take a jab to protect them from a disease that won’t be worse than a bad cold for most of them? If anything, I’m surprised that so many young people have signed up for it, given that it’s not actually necessary for them.
Also, why would you bother if you’ve had the coronavirus before? I’m sure that a huge percentage of the people aren’t excited about taking the jab have already had it.
Why is the government and media focussing on the jab percentage in any case rather than more meaningful figures like: how many people are dying; how many people are ending up in intensive care; and how many people have antibodies. Who cares what the jabbing percentage is?

We have more than enough compliance at the moment that if the jabs actually worked then we’d already have achieved herd immunity.

We always learn a lot from the dog that didn’t bark. In this case, it’s the absence of a government-sponsored live debate between, say, Yeadon, McCullough, Malone & Fleming and any 4 government scientists, to address the holdouts intelligently. Instead, all the government does is cajole and bully.

sophie123

Reply to  refusenick

I always think this:

they could quite easily persuade me to take the vaccine if they show me the data that demonstrate:

1) risk of catching and suffering enduring morbidity from COVID for my sex, age group, BMI normal, no comorbidity cohort is massively higher (at least double, but ideally ten fold) than risk of the same for the vaccine

(never seen this data by age cohort let alone with other risk factors built in, but I am fairly sure it must exist)

2) long term safety data for things like cancer, autoimmune disease are all good

(10-15 years you say? It’s ok, I will wait)

3) there is no risk of ADE as antibodies wane and/or new variants that have greater affinity for vaccine induced binding antibodies evolve (/are released from Wuhan)

(what do you mean you can’t? Is there ANYTHING you can say that will assure me this risk isn’t a real possibility?)

Very happy to have the vaccine if these criteria are met. I’m very much in favour of vaccines if they enhance my chances of avoiding all cause morbidity or mortality. Just show me the data.

I have less stringent criteria:

  1. Vaccine produced using conventional methods, not mRNA. This would be ‘instead’ of long term data.
  2. Short/medium safety data is acceptable.
  3. A socio-political environment where informed consent is possible, and a judgement can be made about the first two points.

First and second might be likely in the next few years. Third seems less likely.

I sometimes wonder whether as many people have taken up the jab offer as we are being led to believe – the numbers are not as high as they say they are and the behavioural psychologist team are up to their dirty old tricks again – pressuring us to conform by inflating the figures of the vaccinated – I walk past my local jab center every day and its virtually empty every time I look in. I wouldn’t put it past them to inflate the vaccination figures – its not as if they don’t have a track record of misleading us – they’ve been manipulating and lying to us from the start..

As long as the majority of the sheeple are asleep it doesn’t actually matter if less people have been jabbed than we’ve been led to believe. Real (or falsely inflated) high numbers of people taking up the jab offer will have the effect of pressuring a percentage of the remaining healthy young people into getting the jab because they think ‘everyone else has had it, so I should too’.

Unless all, or the overwhelmingly great majority across all age groups, take the jab it can’t be said that planned and statistically engineered falling case/death rates will be due to the wonderful “vaccine”. Thus a lucrative future where everyone is jabbed every 5 minutes, on pain of being treated as passportless outcasts, can’t be assured.
