I am delighted to see the media highlighting this, it is very encouraging to see people in the daily mail comments section having none of this nonsense. Also saw another article saying 1 in 5 people will not take the vaccine, but I am pretty sure the number is much higher https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-8766293/One-five-UK-adults-unlikely-coronavirus-vaccine-study-suggests.html
