Loose Women stars Charlene White and Carol McGiffin were locked in a bitter debate today (November 8).
The panellists discussed the Covid-19 vaccine when debate arose about the booster jab.
The question was raised as to whether those who refuse to have a booster jab should be forced to undergo more testing.
Carol immediately began to grow angry, and she ranted that people were having their rights taken away.

Charlene then hit back: “In a point of clarification. On the news programmes that I do… when they started talking about the vaccine every single scientist and GP that we spoke to on those programmes were very clear about the fact that yes, we have these two jabs but it will become a yearly thing in order to keep Covid out of circulation in the general population.”
Carol, clearly frustrated and pulling faces, replied: “But it doesn’t though!”
“But in terms of more dangerous variants coming,” Charlene replied. “There were very honest about that. And [Coleen] talked about the flu vaccination programme. They did compare it to that.

“The same way that flu changes every year is the reason you have to have a flu jab every year. And every single scientist that we spoke to did say that.”
Coleen then interjected: “And no one actually moans about a flu jab, do they?”
Carol began to shout again before Charlene cut her off and made a remark about other kinds of jabs.
She explained that if she wants to travel to Kenya, then she has to have a Yellow Fever jab first.
“I have the Yellow Fever jab because I want to travel,” she said. “It’s my choice to go to Kenya so it’s my choice to take the Yellow Fever jab.”
What did viewers say?
The fiery booster jab row had viewers split down the middle.
One hit back at Carol, saying: “Carol just shouts over everyone. Well done to Charlene for being so professional #loosewomen!”
God, Carol really doesn’t like Charlene correcting her does she? God, this show us awful #LooseWomen – time to turn over to #stephspackedlunch

Another ranted: “Oh look, shouting over each other to make their points known.”
Another said: “Bit of a noisy talking-over-each-other rabble on @loosewomen earlier, talking about booster jabs.”
One added: “Stop shouting over each other fgs.”
However, not everyone was against Carol.
I agree with Carol. The vaccine is becoming mandatory by countries simply taking away human rights to travel and freedom of choice. #LooseWomen

Another viewer agreed with her, saying: “Carol, yet again, is the only one that talks any sense #LooseWomen.”
“I agree with Carol. The vaccine is becoming mandatory by countries simply taking away human rights to travel and freedom of choice,” added another.
