I understand this is the U.K. and while I'm in the U.S. our government is using similar psychological warfare methods where concerns getting vaccinated, and to be honest all it's done is make me 100% distrust those behind the vaccination campaigns, and the vaccines themselves.
I've never been an anti-vaxxer, always trusted vaccines, but the level of psychological warfare they are engaging in with all this hyper-emotionalism doesn't endear any reasonable thinking person to the cause, in fact, it makes us distrust anything to do with any vaccine they feel they have to "sell"...
I buy what I trust, not what I'm sold and if they feel they have to sell me an emotional bill of goods like snake oil salesmen then I'm not buying.
If they wanted people to take the vaccine they should have acted like normal people in the first place, and treated us the same.

There's never enough anecdotal evidence. If you don't understand the need for controls in medicine, and in science in general, you will remain incompetent to evaluate how well any particular medical intervention actually works. You're going to be stuck in your conspiracy theories without any possibility to see the way out.

Well, you could always make your decisions about vaccination based on the data. It's all rather clear, as the following comic makes the point:
The actual data has been made public in the best sort of way, as the FDA and CDC have both been transparent about their decision process. Here's the data for the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine.https://www.fda.gov/media/144245/download

ok there is nothing more I can add to this
....but I'm gonna anyway.....The idea that the UK Government is using covert psychological strategies on the public is on the one hand utterly consistent with the grandiose sense of self importance and corporate psychosis, that they collectively manifest on an almost daily basis.
On the other hand, the idea that the UK Government is having any success at using covert psychological strategies on the public, is beyond hilarious, but who cares, so long as it provides clickbait for the Daily Mail (<--- They certainly don't).
