Wonderful!
Well done to those who went – not enough to protect the children who cant have the vaccine. How many people have to die to convince those anti-vaxxers? The deaths are now on you.
Its truly heartening that more people have got the vaccine but its not enough. Please please for the sake of the children and the vulnerable get the vaccine. How many more belongers have to die unnecessarily?
