True, but ultimately that's the cost of respecting and protecting people's freedom of choice. The Government is entitled to offer the strongest possible advice to the public to take the Covid booster (as I have), just as they strongly advise people not to smoke and drink too much because it puts their health at risk, but ultimately the decision must remain with the individual. Otherwise it's a slippery slope towards authoritarianism which - rightly or wrongly - is already an allegation being made against the Government in relation to some of the Covid restrictions.
