The government urging young people to ‘do their bit’ on vaccines went as well as you’d expect

Perhaps as a result of new guidance on the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine being less suitable for the under-thirties, or because they wanted to distract from – well, everything, the government decided to send a message to young people.

The instruction went down like a cough in a lift – which has superseded the fart as the most concerning mini-pollution event.

Do your bit young people, why aren't you doing your bit, why aren't you vaccinating with the vaccine we haven't offered you yet. Why do you hate freedom. https://t.co/d3Nr12tT3Y

Not sure why young people are getting this scolding tone from the government when they are a) largely not a vaccine-sceptical demographic, and b) months away from being eligible to get vaccinated at all. https://t.co/lQ0Exy1uM9

About bloody time the British youth got taken to task for not getting a vaccine they haven't been offered yet after staying in for a year to protect literally everybody else.

Can’t wait for the enquiry into the government failing to do theirs and gaslighting a nation https://t.co/0xABUe2ucB
