Why do some people still refuse to get the Covid-19 vaccine?


In Hong Kong, efforts to boost the city’s lacklustre inoculation drive includes allowing only vaccinated customers into entertainment centres like night clubs and karaoke joints. — PAUL YEUNG/Bloomberg

Despite all those pesky surveys – ours included – telling us the vast majority of people wish to travel internationally right now... do we, really? And what caveats apply?

One question we continue to pose to our global audience is whether international air travel should be limited to vaccinated passengers. We continue to receive a mixed bag of responses with just a little over 60% demanding full vaccinations for travellers (“Of course, are you stupid?” – from Canada) but a substantial 40% resisting (“I am waiting for an enterprising aviation company to offer air services for those who cannot or will not get vaccinated” – from Hong Kong).
