The trouble is, it's an awful lot easier to visit Dr Google than to get a GP appointment.
True, but you don't need a GP appointment to talk to someone about the vaccines - you can go to a drop-in centre. I've had quite long chats with people doing my vaccines about side effects and the like. They've all been very happy to discuss it

And why is that? It’s cos there’s a load of arrogant selfish idiots out there thinking they know better than Chris Whitty and Jonathan Van Tam, and consequently they're putting unprecedented strains on the NHS and putting other people’s lives at risk.
Totally unforgivable.

And I wish people (aka Jeremy Vine et al) would stop going on about should or shouldn’t children wear masks in school. There is nothing intrinsically bad about wearing masks as long as everyone does it and it’s accepted as the norm.
What children need is consistency and clarity of message. It’s raising anxieties by all the ‘should they/shouldn’t they’ that’s so harmful 😡

I agree Dove about the school children. I'd have thought everyone being 'meh' about it would be much more helpful than turning it into a big drama. Learning to speak more clearly is a Good Thing anyway, and becoming more accustomed to mask wearing is likely to be a benefit in the future - even when this pandemic subsides, it's very likely another will be along quite soon.

Intentionally repeatedly wasting NHS time and resources should be a crime in a pandemic … like wasting police time. 😡
I think it's probably not that many people. I suspect that the govt etc made getting vaccinations so easy, esp in towns, that people take it for granted and think of it like popping out for milk. Certainly, it's a bit like that locally where I am. I made an appointment for a booster a week ahead, a bit far away. I then heard that our local walk in clinic was pretty empty - about ten mins walk away. But I kept my appointment.
People think the jab only take five mins, so cancellation shouldn't cause too much problem.
I was certainly able to cancel booster appointments on line? I had booked ahead, but when I was offered a jab at the GP surgery a week earlier, I just went back into the website and cancelled. Shame it would be so time consuming to track down the failed appointment makers, their names and details will be in the system somewhere.
