I would like to hear what Dr. Schewppe has to say, if that is okay with the Chair. However, to clarify, this person was specifically taking as an example suspicion around vaccines, because it might be attributed to certain groups more than others, such as people who are not Irish and may not have the same trust of the systems here that Irish people do. This person was concerned that that might be used in that way. I do not think it fits into the Bill as currently drafted. That is the context in which the question was asked.
