A news report about the UK roll-out of the Coronavirus vaccine in London earlier today, contained what is being described as a "potentially damaging theory", after a long-haired lout said he would be resisting any government orders to be vaccinated because, he said, it's got a chip in it.
The man, who looked about 25, and had one of those hairstyles that is best described as long and greasy, with a high-forehead middle parting, was asked by a female reporter from Deutsche Welle, Charlotte Summat-O'rother what his thoughts were about the speed with which the vaccine has been developed and made available.
He said with misplaced assurance:
"I'm not having it. I've done my research, yeah? The vaccine ... there's a chip in it."
The reporter stifled a laugh.
She asked the buffoon where he'd done his 'research'. He replied:
"YouTube. And Facebook."
Passers-by could be heard giggling.
The government, however, say it's no laughing matter, and are planning a public relations campaign to promote the vaccine amongst doubters and detractors.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was on hand to see the first UK vaccination administered to a 90-year-old woman, said:
"That's ridiculous! There are no chips in the vaccine. Is it likely that I'd lie?"
