Boris Johnson has slammed anti-vaxxers for putting out “complete mumbo-jumbo” about Covid vaccines as he urged Britons to come forward and get their jab.
The prime minister said those opposing vaccination and spreading disinformation online were “totally wrong”.
“It’s time that I, government, call them out on what they’re doing, it is absolutely wrong,” he told ITV News.
Meanwhile, transport secretary Grant Shapps on Thursday hinted that all international travel tests could eventually be scrapped in favour of vaccination status.
The cabinet minister suggested that Britons could soon travel abroad without having to take a test as the pandemic recedes.
Speaking to Times Radio Breakfast, he said: “I think I could see a world in which you didn’t need to do testing at all.
“I do imagine that we will, for the foreseeable future, be living in a world where vaccination status is something that countries are looking for.”
It comes as airlines reported a 150 per cent surge in bookings after the PM announced the requirement for pre-departure tests for inbound travel will be scrapped from Friday morning.
