"The vaccine for covid has been being developed for years they only had to tweak for the 19 (a spike).

Steve Cox said: "Unfortunately these are the people who will keep the numbers on Covid cases increasing, probably also happy to take the money from the government for not going to work but being paid anyway."

Keren Foster said: "If you don't want the vaccine that is the choice you make and the gamble you take with your own life. Have it or don't have it simple."

Marc Wood said: "They are not anti-vaxxers they are pro choice... Nobody should be forced to take a medication they do not want."

Zena Smith added: "Think they should keep their opinions amongst themselves, let everyone else make their own choices for themselves and their children. I don’t tell them what to do and I don’t expect anyone to tell me what to do."

Chris Baker said: "Total nutcases. The level of behaviour is appalling - leaflets littering the street and stickers over windows and cash points."

Alex Motley said: "Pointless. Don’t want it? Don’t have it.

"A bit like me rounding up a 100 people to let Chichester know we don’t like desiccated coconut."
