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?

@Bythemillpond

It only makes me say no.

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

Same here. They shouldn't be pushing it on kids, either.

To be fair the majority of people not getting vaccinated are probably in the demographic where they love a celeb and will actually like this type of stuff.

XenoBitch · 03/07/2021 16:22

It wont convince me, but I am not their target demographic anyway. Kind of sad to think crap like this can be used to coerce people into having a medical procedure.

Uniontea · 03/07/2021 16:27

I’m not a fan of musicals but I really don’t think you can class this as coercion Grin

I hate it when titles are in capitals. Feels like you are shouting! NO NEED!

Er... David Walliams?

Really?

I would have actually thought the opposite.

dd (13) and I just watched it and she gave me 'the look' and said.

You can tell that was made by an old person and walked off Grin

You have a funny idea about what coercion looks like. It's not Walliams prancing around like a twat.
whynotwhatknot · 03/07/2021 17:06

i understand why theyre trying to push it but all these celebs crowing just puts people off

the bame one was really quite cringe

itsaccrualworld · 03/07/2021 17:30

I feel cheated.

I've had both jabs. I was already sad about the lack of improved phone signal and now I'm sad that I can't magically tap dance.

Saucery · 03/07/2021 17:35

Jim Broadbent probably feels the same, itsacruelworld

It is terrifying to think what a Government initiative would look like, that was aimed to be down with the teens on Tik Tok.

Was this paid for by the NHS?

TheVampiresWife · 04/07/2021 20:18

I'm double jabbed already but I'll happily go back and get done again if they promise to stick the needles in my ears so I won't have to listen to that ever ever again.

Dustyboots · 04/07/2021 22:25

Surely it was paid for by the government @Bythemillpond

Or by the tax payer rather ...

Who was it paid for by?

Dustyboots · 04/07/2021 22:27

Just to add my 9 year old daughter watched it. She thought it was awful and also found the last line by Broadbent really rude and patronising.

He does say it in a very rude tone - I"m surprised they left it like that.
