With a significant number of Britons skeptical of a Covid vaccine, the army has reportedly deployed an βinformation warfareβ unit to stamp out anti-vaxx propaganda online. Offline, citizens still protest lockdowns in the streets.
The British government is expected to greenlight a coronavirus vaccine and begin its distribution next month. In addition to the logistical challenge of getting millions of doses to the public, the government also faces the hurdle of convincing them to take it. According to a recent poll by the British Academy and the Royal Society, more than a third of people in Britain say theyβre either uncertain or very unlikely to take the vaccine.
