“We do not know the long term affects of this vaccine for any individual. I do not judge any adult who wanted to take it.”

In addition, Beverley added: “If they feel like it’s important to them and they want to take it, I do not judge you.

“We should not be sitting there judging people who haven’t taken it for whatever reason that is.”

However, Angela and Emma disagreed.

Angela added: “Vaccine refusers are selfish, irresponsible people who are enjoying their freedom because the rest of us are being vaccinated.”

Meanwhile, Emma “completely agreed” with Angela’s point.

Wiping away her tears, she explained: “It’s not easy, it’s really hard. I know I keep my calm but the ambush when all you want to do is have a conversation.

“It’s a shutdown debate. It’s a one-sided conversation about something that’s so huge and has so many implications for so many people.”

In addition, Beverley said: “The idea that the fear of Covid always trumps the fear of the vaccine is cruel. I didn’t enjoy that this morning – I found it really hard.”
