Laurence Fox’s vaccination warning for Matt Hancock was funny – but these 11 takedowns were funnier
With two apparently promising vaccines on the horizon, Matt Hancock spoke to Julia Hartley-Brewer about the possibility of there being a compulsory element to their roll-out.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock refuses to rule out mandatory Covid vaccinations: "I've learned not to rule things out during this pandemic because you have to watch what happens and make judgements accordingly."@JuliaHB1 | @MattHancock

Unsurprisingly, it was a fairly incendiary statement, picking up quite a few irate reactions, like these:
Censorship and medical coercion. Not a new thing, is it? https://t.co/flrsLH5k91

You cannot make vaccinations mandatory. If someone stabs you with a needle then that is assault

One person had an alternative suggestion for dealing with non-compliance.
Folk who refuse Vaccinations should be made to continue Self Isolating at home to protect others!

But recently sacked actor, Laurence Fox, wanted to send a message directly to Matt Hancock, and he went full low-budget gangster.
Four police officers. Four police officers. FOUR POLICE OFFICERS!
Needless to say, there was quite a reaction to his big words.

Thankfully Laurence you dont need to vaccinate everybody, just enough people. There are those who have legitimate medical reasons, and then those who throw a hissy fit for attention. https://t.co/zeyxlU1poH

Q: How many policeman does it take to vaccinate a Laurence Fox.
A: Four: One to vaccinate him, and three to clean up all of the shit in his nappy. https://t.co/bDh0YFcbvZ

“But it’s just a little prick” said the first cop.
“Yes, but he’s scared of needles”, explained another. https://t.co/aeQIe7OLtU

Author and historian, Louise Raw might have been onto something with this observation.
If someone got the pay-per-view rights to Laurence Fox fighting the cops and Trump being forcibly removed from the White House, they’d be set for life https://t.co/KmZUnXXjcs
