Britain’s Prince Charles has criticised those lobbying against coronavirus vaccines, saying they can “protect and liberate” some of society’s most vulnerable members, Reuters reports.

In a wide-ranging article for the Future Healthcare Journal in which he called for an integrated approach to healthcare, the heir to the throne also took a swipe at those speaking out against Covid-19 shots.

“Who would have thought [...] that in the 21st century that there would be a significant lobby opposing vaccination, given its track record in eradicating so many terrible diseases and its current potential to protect and liberate some of the most vulnerable in our society from coronavirus?” he wrote.
