6:02 pm
a week after the so called freedom day, which ended restrictions in england. they're angry about track and tries to stem base a limit of civil liberties. and there was violence in australia's largest city is sydney, as anti locked down, protest is called for an end to the latest restrictions there just by rising dell to various cases. for me on a story were joined by gabriel's galley, a visiting professor of public health at the university of bristol, enjoyed and says now live from scott. hello the professor. despite all the research which suggest contact tracing and vaccinations are the way to bait this fire is why people still rallying against these measures. do you think? well, i think these rallies are relatively small and all the way through the pandemic. we've seen small groups of people who are taken to the straits to express their opposition to various things. it's, comes from different opposition,
6:03 pm
opposition to the faxing opposition to government interference. some believe that the virus doesn't exist. that covert 19 doesn't exist. there's some think it's a conspiracy of more from all sorts of people, including bill gates, international conspiracy, putting microchips in their arms. it's such a mix package of opposition and, but, but relatively small. it isn't anything new. there always has been opposition to vaccine in history. people, it's new and it's often dealing with a rare, very serious problems. so they're always a small group of people who are opposed facts and nations continue to be our armor in the fight against the pandemic. but what are your thoughts on me? so cold vaccine, passports, do you think that work on a national level and more broadly on a global scale? i think it's very difficult. i think we would be much better making much more
6:04 pm
vaccine available and, and very many countries have called for a lifting of the patent rules so that many more countries can produce faxing so that there's plenty for everyone. these rules are really being introduced because the reason enough for everyone and not everyone is taking it so we have to address both of those, both of those issues. and it's very difficult vaccine passports, when some countries like the united kingdom, are not vaccinating anyone under the age of 18. and that is their policy. so it's very difficult to discriminate against young people and children. so i have some concerns about vaccine passports, myself. and given that some of these people of these rallies will be vaccinated and some warned how much does this reduce the likelihood of the spread of the virus given what you are saying about young people? well, i think rallies happily, most of these are taking place. our doors,
6:05 pm
which is safer, and we've seen major sporting events in countries now starting to take place. and this is going to increase spread. and we've seen in quite a few countries, the united kingdom in particular, really strong rise, a very high rise in the level of cases. and the sort of protests can only help spread that returning to the issue of those global possible, sorry, the global vaccine passports, if they're the ones you don't think that will work. what do you think the answer is in terms of a global or even a national approach professor? well, i think we've got good vaccine levels, vaccination levels up. there are some people who are hesitant, and sometimes they've got reasons because they are often excluded versus from society. they don't trust governments or politicians or maybe even some health service people. so we've got to work at a local level to get that understanding and talk to people face to face about their
6:06 pm
concerns and try and answer their concerns. it's always in vaccination programs is always easy to get 506070 percent of people vaccinated. but with, with the, the variance we have no, we need a lot more than that to be vaccinated. really, to have population immunity and enable us to get the virus under control. because that's what we really want to do. we want the cases to get as low as possible to be kept as low as possible. there are certainly lots of moving parts to this story. thank you for your insights, gabrielle skelly, a visiting professor of public health of university of bristol. we appreciate your time. thank you. resilience have been marching against president jaya, both the narrow and he's handling of the pandemic. he has repeatedly play down the virus, despite more than half a 1000000 deaths in the country, the senate. he's also investigating allegations of corruption within his government linked to vaccine payments. recent polls suggest false in our popular he is
