Is vaccine hesitancy so high in lululand or it’s that people got vaccinated elsewhere? Now that vaccines are easily available and anyone can just go to their GPs to get vaccinated. It’s quite surprising.

Malta was early on the top.
France made it mandatory for health-care workers, and mandatory green Covidcheck for shop assistants, supermarket personnel, etc. Non-vaccinated need to get tested every 3 days, and at some point at their expense, so very inconvenient.
It’s a mix.
There is a LOT of defiance against the vaccine in lux because people here think of themselves very highly, they think they have everything figured out.
Additionally, many people who grew up here and leave abroad afterwards stay registered at their parents home as residents when in reality they’re not here anymore.
Yeah have you seen the daily amount of doses vaccinated? For weeks now barely around 1000,today I think it wasn’t even a thousand doses, first and second shot combined! We got either too many people with an aluminium hat or scaredy cats scared to get a shot.
Much like the strict rules across the border in France, Germany also restricts access to nightclubs – only vaccinated or recovered. No antigen/PCR bullshit. I suppose eventually Lux will follow suit. Until then, there will continue to be long queues outside the free antigen walk-in centre on Grand Rue. Fun tho, profiling the mix of people as I walk past and judge the hell outta them each morning (in my mind) 😁
The lower the vaccination rate the higher the chance for newer, more virulent forms of any virus to emerge. This is why historically eradication of diseases (eg. Polio, Small Pox) take several decades if not forever. It’s not enough that a vaccine works, any vaccine needs to be taken by all for true eradication of a disease. When that’s not possible, or if the virus mutates faster than a blanket vaccination approach – we settle for chronic booster shots. (Eg. annual flu vaccines).
You seem to have a silly, self congratulatory shtick going on by signing off each comment with the phrase “trust the science”. We do trust the science, which btw also includes the field of epidemiology (not just immunology).
There are still enough people in Luxembourg that understand that the government does not have your best interest in mind.
The comments in this thread also show how arrogance and ignorance when it comes to the many irregularities (to use a nice descriptor) that have been shown on the last couple of years actually contribue to less people wanting to get vaccinated.
If you make it irrefutable that the vaccine is the solution of the problem and must be accepted as truth by everyone when it so clearly isn’t, you alert a growing percentage of the hesitant people to the fact that something just isn’t right!
As ome others suggested: many are double resident and might have been vaccinated in the other country.
But then when I see my workplace, the number of ppl who refuse to get the vaccine… quite a number.
On the other hand, newspapers titled a huge vaccine hesitancy in Belgium back in December and vefore 2020 and in the end Belgium is doing fine in terms of vaccination.
Hard to tell.
I went to get my second jab on Monday – because I couldn’t make the appointment I’d been given I went to the walk in centre at Victor Hugo. I got there around 13:45, and was really surprised by the sheer number of people in the queue. By the time I got to be sitting in the hall there must have been 300 people in the building, if not more. What struck me most was the age of people there, virtually all teens and twenty-somethings.
I will rather die than get the vaccine.
I feel sorry for people who got the vaccine, now they have to deal with bullshit like realization that vaccine does nothing to prevent transmission of covid, third dose / booster doses, side effects, and long term damage (we have no idea what kind of damage mRna vaccine will do to your body in few years)
Natural selection😄
