Tokyo no-go
The British Olympic Association admits that some of its athletes don't want to be vaccinated against the Chongvirus prior to the Tokyo Olympic Games. Its chief executive, Andy Anson, said that while 90% of athletes will have been fully Chongvaxed prior to the Games, some are holding out.
But he also admitted "there are individuals who didn't want to be vaccinated". "We're trying to convince them it's the right thing to do," he added. "People have got the right to choose, and we have to respect that. But it's not necessarily that helpful."

If it's so important for Team GB members to be vaccinated, then make it a requirement for participation. If it's important enough to them that they attend, then they know where they stand and what they have to do; it is, after all, a condition of employment for some people. Otherwise, stop bleating on about it. Simples.
Despite Anson's hyperbole, the Olympic Games aren't that important.
