Covid: Stars perform musical song in latest vaccine push

dO YOUr bIT.

MakE tHis sTOP!!!

Help me now.

Things are getting serious and are getting traumatic.

WHYYYY does anyone think that a bunch of famous people prancing about will change anyone's mind and is anything more than parading your vaccine political beliefs for self publicity?

Quite clearly we have reached the point where its felt that we have to wheel out the celebs to 'connect with the youth' and all that bollocks and demand for vaccine appointments is waning.

Just why the fuck does this have to be done?

I love it! But I’m not their target audience

Where is the ad being shown? Many young adults would not have a tv licence, I'm 37 and I don't.

It only makes me say no

The more it is pushed the more I want to push back

A worryingly immature response @Bythemillpond. Unless you're as young as you sound (under 16), in which case I apologise

That’s the sort of response that makes me glad I am not getting the vaccine.
Bullying and name calling aren’t a good idea

Fwiw I can’t have it as I have really bad reactions especially to things like the flu vaccine and other vaccines. I am saving the nhs by not taking up a bed

So I am going to ignore Jim Broadbent saying to just get it.

OrangeBlossomMacaron · 03/07/2021 14:44

Fuck me that was painful 😂

This post should come with a warning.

Super hi vaccinations in the UK, still got restrictions, still can't travel, kids still sent home, huge numbers asked to isolate despite fully vaccinated & negative test.... and because a dickhead in no10 allowed in 20k people from India with zero restriction.

So if you don't mind, imho we may as of rolled out the vaccines same as EU, they are way ahead of us on travel and few restrictions.

thecatsatonthewall · 03/07/2021 14:45

I'm with @Bythemillpond now.

Blame that clown Johnson

BoomChicka · 03/07/2021 14:53

I'm not clicking that link, I saw a few seconds of it earlier and David Walliams doing jazz hands was enough to make me want to suck the vaccine back out of my body. Covid can take me.

ineedaholidaynow · 03/07/2021 14:59

I liked it, but then I like musical theatre, and probably really wasn't listening to the message just the music!

So called celebs get in your face everywhere now. Maybe this is because they have nothing much to do at the moment, They often stick their noses in some kind of campaign or other.. You need to give them some special type of vaccine to shut them all up.

Can we have a campaign for that please?

I've been double jabbed. Where are my sparkly blue tap shoes and a part in a West End musical??

AmyDudley · 03/07/2021 15:08

I just watched - and it wasn't quite as awful as I was anticipating, - having said that I never want to watch it again.

I just wonder who it is aimed at. people are either getting the vaccine or not - I doubt the non vaccinators are going to change their minds because of some luvvies doing jazz hands at them.

I do have a soft spot for Jim Broadbent , but that is cancelled out by the nausea I feel when catching any kind of glimpse of David Walliams.

Honey12346 · 03/07/2021 15:09

This reminds me of the ad with z list black celebs telling black people to get vaxxed. They really think we're stupid

Maggiesfarm · 03/07/2021 15:10

You may not like it but I don't think it will do any harm, RedToothbrush.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 03/07/2021 15:11

@RedToothBrush - I’ve already had both jabs, but I’d have another one to save people from this horror!

TheVanguardSix · 03/07/2021 15:12

Fuuuuuuuck! My eyes! My goddamn ears! What the fuck, Singapore??
It makes me feel all Dark Web-y. Like I’ve seen things I’ll never unsee.

Dustyboots · 03/07/2021 15:14

I’m on the fence about getting vaccinated. Things like this video push me off that fence to the side of refusal.

Reasoned intelligent discussion draws me closer to considering that I might get vaccinated. Honestly - as a currently non vaccinated person I would say this video is bad news for the COVID vaccination campaign.

I liked it, but then I like musical theatre, and probably really wasn't listening to the message just the music

But this was really really bad musical theatre to a song that has certain other connotations

I know that the person who came up with this probably has a list of qualifications but did no one see the connection and stop them
Has the vaccine made them lose their mind.

Boatie · 03/07/2021 15:24

@OP I quite enjoyed that, cheered up a dull afternoon Grin . More please!

AppleCrumbleForBreakfast · 03/07/2021 15:26

It's kind of insulting actually. Like getting/ not getting the vaccine. hasn't been something that's kept me up at night. Something I've agonised and thought really seriously about. Like some stupid celeb with a throwaway song is enough to make me go 'oh, go on then, silly me.' Patronising in the extreme.

FunnyWonder · 03/07/2021 15:26

Dear old Jim Broadbent. I used to love him. Not so much now with the tap dancing ...

Sweet Holy Jeez, save us from this!

Sadsiblingatsea · 03/07/2021 15:35

I’m definitely I rely not having it now on principle 😀

ineedaholidaynow · 03/07/2021 15:44

Maybe my music taste has gone downhill since lockdown @Bythemillpond but I have just been singing along to the new version of Vindaloo which was on the radio! Like @Boatie said cheers up a dull day

Melitza · 03/07/2021 15:48

I can understand why comments are turned off!

I hate Walliams. Wannabe Roald Dahl. Yuk.
