62% of the General Public Support Mandatory Booster Jabs, According to YouGov Poll
According to a recent YouGov poll, 62% of the general public would support including the booster jab as a requirement under a vaccine passport scheme, which would prohibit those who haven’t received a booster jab from entering certain public venues, with only 25% expressing opposition to making the booster jab compulsory. In addition, 71% said that a booster jab should be mandatory, but only for those considered to be in a high-risk category who wish to enter public spaces such as restaurants. YouGov has more.
In the U.K, Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said that the Government was not looking at the idea yet but declined to rule it out altogether.
New research from YouGov reveals that the vast majority of people would support mandating a booster jab for not only the elderly or vulnerable but the wider population as well.
Overall, 69% of people would support making booster jabs a requirement for people aged 65 years old and over – including 45% strongly supportive of the idea. Only one in five people (21%) would oppose such an idea.
A similar 71% of the public would support a booster mandate for people considered to be at high risk from Covid who want to visit restaurants or use public transport.
Just shy of two-thirds of people (62%) would also support making booster jabs a requirement for the general public. This includes 36% who “strongly” support doing so. A quarter of people (25%) would oppose such a mandate on the general public.
It is the older generations who are most in favour of these mandates, even when they selectively apply to older people. Some 84% of those aged 65 years-old and over would support a requirement for people their age to have a booster before visiting public spaces. This compares to six in ten (60%) of people aged between 18 and 24 years-old who would also support such a policy.
This older age group are also the most likely to support a mandate on boosters for those at high-risk from Covid (86%) and a similar proportion would support one on the general public (82%). Only 48% of those aged between 18 and 24 years-old would support a booster requirement on the general public, with 34% opposed.

Stop Press: A new poll from SavantaComRes has made a similar finding: 45% of U.K. adults would support an indefinite lockdown of the unvaccinated.

By magic, YouGov polling always finds majority support for the policies the Coronauts currently want to push.
One should really remember that the polls also already predicted that Brexit wouldn’t happen, Theresa May would win a landslide victory and that Jeremy Corbyn would be a challenging opponent for Boris Johnson.
It’s not just with covid, they find support for ANY government policy on ANYTHING.
WuGov, started by Nadhim Zahawi who keeps failing upwards.
Even if the results aren’t being outright bought in Westminster, they’ll be decided in Beijing. I cannot think of any reason why the Mandarin Empire wouldn’t throw a tiny fraction of its surplus manpower into flooding all online Western polls and nudging us towards a simulacrum of itself.
Oh please. Stop parroting this YouGov propaganda, or if you must then treat it with the contempt it deserves.
Utter contempt I would add…. or 62% of Turkey’s poled are voting for Christmas…
Meanwhile here’s a smart erudite German who’s fully awake….

Ernst Wolff demonstrating why what we’re living through is carefully prepared apocalyptic reset.
Totally agree, my experience with polls is that the questions are deliberately loaded to get the answers that the pollsters (more specifically their funders) want. The recent joke of a consultation on ‘vaccine passports’ is a good example. However this will likely be all over the Daily Fail tomorrow.
Easy to get the result you want when you game the poll https://mobile.twitter.com/MaajidNawaz/status/1462791005657341955
Hold your horses, I’ve only just rejected the first two!
Ha, ha, ha! Those who had the first ones are now in exactly the same position as us who said no!
Precisely! Wake up, people! 😃
Eh, maybe. They only have to capitulate once more, for now, in order to rent back a few token liberties, for now.
I’ve yet to see the plan for how penitent sinners will be permitted to catch up.
we covered this one yesterday, if you use the worlds bet behavioural scientists to brainwash the population into believing jews are the problem and carry disease and destroy Germany then of course they opinion polls will agree that jews need to disappear….
Oooops, sorry, my mistake – wrong fascists
If you brainwash the populations with false scary information scare mongering so they are utterly petrified then of course…..
Exactly.
If the real story was told these bastards would have swung by now.
“…the population into believing jews are the problem…” Your post has a strange hysterical tone. The population of the UK does not believe that Jews are the problem. They are only dimly aware of their existence. They constitute about half of one percent of the UK population (2011 Census). There is no “anti-Jew” propaganda in any UK mainstream media, it would be illegal. People can be, & have been, prosecuted. Severely. I think you should take your hysteria & leave us.
You haven’t understood the post.
I think you should read the post again, and again if you still don’t understand it.
At least 62% of the public get their information from the MSM
Meanwhile, across Europe and UK, people take to the streets in their tens of thousands to resist the totalitarian globalist putsch.
We need a British version of Bannon’s War Room to push the truth out.
Clearly these polls are more opinion forming than opinion seeking.
I have mixed feelings about the DS publishing them. On the one hand it’s informative, on the other hand they are rather demoralising and is that what the DS is after?
Is this info not going to be on every major news outlet anyway. Why not stick to the sceptical stuff?
Why not stick to the sceptical stuff?
Or at least be sceptical about what is clearly brazen propaganda
Take heart.
Even on their own biased polling, it equates to around 10-15 million adults in the UK opposing a mandatory booster shot.
We need to keep informed on all matters even if we don’t like it or it doesn’t fit our own narrative – yes, we have narratives too.
Keep an open and inquiring mind!
The young probably have an excuse not to be properly informed about who and how the vaxxes protect, since they don’t trouble themselves with the MSM. The older generation have rather less excuse; except that they seem in large numbers to believe the MSM seek genuinely to disseminate news, rather than an editorial position.
I meet very few of my contemporaries who know, or have questioned, anything about the jabs, their effects and how they are supposed to protect against covid. It really is a rather depressing state of affairs.
The young get their info from social media and tech giants, who are all on board with the Big Lie.
The old watch the BBC and read the Daily Mail. These people are woefully and dangerously ignorant.
Well at least the Mail has featured a bit more scepticism. I know lots of young people and almost all of them believe all the Big Lies they have been told about covid.
Compared to the Grauniad they have a god-like vision of the situation.
None of my older siblings have had the poison dart, and we are resolved to resist to the end, whatever that may be. Same with my children, both in their 40s. Unfortuanately my sister’s son has had the shots, and a few days ago he had a sudden heart attack. We have no way of knowing the cause, but he’s only 46 with no previous problems.
They’re frightened of death.
There’s no point in asking the public about complex scientific questions.
This is doubly true when they’ve been misinformed over the last (nearly) two years of the risks of covid and the effectiveness of the vaccines.
There’s very much a point in this: It’s supposed to inform equally scientifically ignorant MPs which policies currently command popular support. After all, something doesn’t have to make sense for it to be something which will improve an MP’s standing with the electorate, it’s just necessary that a majority of the electorate wants it to make sense.
Nadim Zahawi out and about with his clipboard again.
UK Column used to compare (I want you and your kids dead) Zahawi to the arch Satanist Anton LaVey. This was a dreadful slur on LaVey.
Yep, co-founder of YouGov and CEO between 2005 and 2010. Can’t imagine Zahawi has any influence now though. Not.
When the mob, ignorance and hysteria collide yougov will always be there for them
A majority in the UK has always supported the death penalty. We’ve never had it restored.
The 62% can eff off.
But that was about crimes and not about being unvaccinated!
Nudge! Nudge!
Their “sample” of the UK population for this poll is 1,696, out of a total population of over 68 million. And YouGuv reckons that demonstrates that 62% of the “general public” would support including the booster jab under the vax passport scheme. Surely that’s 62% of 1,696? And how come I never get invited to participate in these polls?!
I’ve got a YouGov account, in an attempt to provide some balance.
Whenever they ask me whether I am worried about Covid I always say no. I expect that’s why they didn’t ask me to take part in this survey.
I used to partake. Never had a chance to disagree with the rather obvious narrative and soon only got invited to vote on soap powders.
It’s a sham! Not only do they ask leading questions, they also select who they need from the “general public”.
Me too, me too and …me too.

“The company’s methodology involves obtaining responses from an invited group of internet users…”
So, totally independent and unbiased then?
Aren’t accurate polls supposed to be drawn from a random cross-section of society?
I have no idea why this crap from yougov is considered to be either meaningful or valid. I prefer trained parrots or mynah birds to the fools that give a tissue of validity to this propaganda.
I’m currently finding the “comments” section or BTL of the TCW to be more informative at the moment
Percentages mean jack. What were the numbers of those actually being qustioned??? 1500 or so out of 68 million? If those people are so threatened by those who haven’t taken the protection that DIDN’T protect them, then they should stay home or whatever! And it’s a YouGov poll – say no more.
There is a disconnect between polls and reality here.. One expects comments on sceptical sites (like this) to be of one flavour. But the official BBC YouTube clip on their coverage of the European protests was hugely, hugely supportive of the protests, with only the occasional mainstream view.
Now the preponderance of scepticism there is certainly not owing to the bias of the channel. Nor is it explicable by an organised campaign or Russian bots. So either (conceivably) the desire to comment is several thousand time greater amongst dissidents than compliers (which I suppose is possible, showing that support for totalitarianism is mainly amongst the apathetic), or else all these polls are grossly misrepresenting the mood of the country.
The huge majority of the injected assume that the gunk has a bit of covid in it and not the dangerous shit it really has.
If this is true (always question polls), this is insane. But we must remember that a plurality of people think that 10% or more of people who get Covid die, and that vaccines remain effective at stopping infections as well as death. The British population is entirety uninformed thanks to all the propaganda from BBC et al.
When we start talking about rewriting society to stop a virus with a current IFR of .1, Western society is dead.
Of course it might just be 30% of people just say yes because they don’t want to be called granny killer.
YouGov is establishment propaganda.
A simple cursory look at YouGov PLC reveals that none other than Nadim Zahawi seemed to have significant involvement in the pollster.
So yes, it’s going to be ‘pro’ vaccine. Cue, conflict of interest. Cue, ignore.
Suppose the polls are correct? The usual purpose of polls is to see what a majority wishes, assuming that the minority will acquiesce (for example, if the poll is correct about a Labour election victory, those who vote against will shrug until the next election).
But if 38% are being forced to take a vaccine, or 32% oppose being locked down permanently, we should not expect the normal peaceable scruples of a democracy to apply. The country would rapidly become ungovernable, if not anarchic.
Let’s hope the politicians at least realise that civil war is not a good thing to precipitate.
Oh fuck off, Yougov is just a propaganda arm of government.
Definitely not worth reading in full.
…
I think this poll by YouGov is far closer to the truth.
To those people in that ‘majority’, I will quote well-known Jewish German publicist Henryk Broder’s recent comment:
‘You ask yourselves how it could have happened back then: because people back then were the same as you are today!
This …
And of course no one is ever fully vaccinated! It was a useless or indeed misleading statement. These vaccines were always going to be like the flu vaccine but no one seemed to want to admit that. I keep hoping this mad drive to inject every adult, child and baby will come to an end but it is just getting worse and worse. Please rescue us Ron De Santos, let us have asylum in Florida.
I agree with you – but at least the flu vaccine was always voluntary – you was never refused travel, jobs, access to sports venues, restaurants and theatres etc etc because you hadn’t had the annual flu jab The health service is already short staffed but can you imagine the pressure on the NHS if the entire population had to be vaccinated every few months – it would be chaos – how many vital operations, treatments and scans for much more fatal diseases than covid would be delayed due to lack of staff and resources – all too busy giving out mandatory jabs for a virus that for the overwhelming vast majority of people has a 99.7% survival rate .
if Ron De Santos won’t come to save us then I’ll go to Ron De Santos to save myself from this madness … if the Floridian governor announced that asylum would be provided for all the European unvaccinated who are being persecuted by their governments then I would seriously consider leaving for Florida tomorrow.
Bollox to Boris.
Extract from a letter sent to the NZ Medical Council from a retired Doctor in Tauranga. “… the still birth rate has rocketed. Usually there are 114 still births per year for the entire country but in just two weeks Hastings alone had 9 still births in vaccinated mothers who were following your advice to get the vaccine. You are responsible for the death of those babies. You have blood on your hands. I suppose you are also in denial regarding the deaths of teenagers. We have 2 siblings dead after the vaxathon in Christchurch – a girl aged 15 and a boy aged 17. Plus a 17 year old boy in Northland and a 13 year old in the South Island – both dead the day after their vaccination -and a 14 year old boy in South Auckland who died 2 hours after his vaccination. Also the 17 year old girl whose death should have stopped the roll out but was instead blamed, prior to any autopsy report, on the pill – which she had been prescribed some time prior so therefore the GP would have checked for clotting risk factors at that point in time.

From the reddit group https://www.reddit.com/r/LockdownSceptics/comments/qz96gf/todays_comments_20211122/ Peter McCullough on Telegram: Pushback Against Unnecessary, Ill-Advised, and Unlawful Mandates of Investigational Vaccines Since the wave of public and private entity COVID-19 vaccine mandates this summer, there has been progressively stiffer resistance from a public that knows the mandates are unethical, immoral, and from a civil perspective—illegal. Because none of the COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, JNJ) are FDA approved or commercially sold by vaccine manufacturers to the public, Americans know the consent forms indicate vaccination can only be voluntary and that the vaccine products do not have proven safety or efficacy. Thus, the consent forms by themselves are a clear indicator that no entity can “mandate” participation in a clinical investigation or research. Rates of COVID-19 vaccination plummeted in April of 2021 when word got out that Americans were dying and becoming injured after the injection in large numbers. Analyses from Rose and McLachlan using the CDC VAERS system indicated that 50% of the deaths occurred within 48 hours, 80% within a week, and 86% of the time, there was no other explanation other than the vaccine must have triggered the death. From that point forward, there was a series of perverted efforts to… Read more »
The Tories don’t believe in anything except winning elections. They will track public opinion & introduce passports. Guaranteed.
62 percent support freedom for them, but not for us.
