Under the guise once again of "Protecting the NHS"
But Prof Dingwall, who has had no involvement in the plans, said the Government needed to decide in the next week — or risk facing supply problems.
He said it could cost £500million but that it would be a sound investment.
Nice pay days all round for some people.
A BMJ article from 2014 questioned the benefits of mass flu vaccinations.

Not sure why they need to decide next week but even if it is not enforced, there will be a massive take up. I would guess >65%.

You cannot force a fellow human being to be injected with something from big pharma.
Would be disgraceful. |

They will try. Thank god for the forgers

I don't think it will happen although there are precedents for enforced vaccination.

That would mean 45 million people attending clinics within a period of a few weeks. About a million people per day!
I don't know what effect it would have on flu, but I can make a good guess on how it might affect the spread of chicom-19. |

To put it another way - I wouldn't be surprised if flu vaccinations actually get cancelled this year!

The uptake for the seasonal flu vaccination is about 43% in the UK (over 70% for those aged 65+).

The idea you have to force people to do anything for their own health is absurd.
The best thing for the government to do is advise people. Give them the honest facts as they know it and let people make their own choices. This is how Sweden flattened the Covid curve and has no threat of a 'second wave' or worries about how to get out lockdown. |

Honest facts rule our mob out trader sadly

Does this article actually say that flu vaccine will be enforced or compulsory?
If vaccine is free of charge to anybody who wants one (but not illegal to not have one) , would anybody on here object? |

By:
Denmark have the powers for forced medication I think.

By:
Denmark have passed legislation for treatment; not a vaccine.

It
Are you saying than Denmark can force UK residents to have the flu vaccine this Autumn. The Sun article didn't mention that. Would you object if UK provides flu vaccine to anybody living in UK if they want it but won't punish people if they don't have vaccine. |

Denzil, I actually misread the thread title - it's about enforcing uptake of the flu vaccine not a future COVID-19.
However, regarding COVID-19, do you have a link confirming the text you have posted in bold? When I looked at Denmark's law, I read about enforced testing, treatment and quarantine but nothing about enforced vaccination. |

Thanks for that. Both links are the same aren't they?

As others have said, no government should force any individual to subject their own bodies to any injection of a foreign substance against their will. We have enough government interference in every aspect of our lives without being told what to do with our bodies which crosses a line into very dangerous territory .. what's next , a microchip to determine where and what we are all doing 24/7? That said, the phone app recently introduced is veering towards that mentality.

The phone app being tested won't be compulsory in UK will it? Not even clear if private venues would be allowed to refuse entry to people without app. I suspect the Himsn rights industry would prevent that "discrimination " |

I hope they do wolf.
But fear the lawyers will claim it is discrimination against age/ethnicity or something else. It makes sense if running a restaurant that you take some measures to keep staff & customers safe. Taking temps (non contact) & checking an app would be fine. Would be easy enough to design app so doesn't provide any information by just opening it up - I.e. Alerts sent by text . As app not ready yet is all speculation- the reports about the trial don't mention anything about an "all clear" "red alert " actually on the app. Still a lot of people without smartphones. |
