Britain’s daily coronavirus deaths fell by nearly 30% today, as the number of people who have received a second dose of a Covid vaccine soared past 17 million. MailOnline has more.
Officials also recorded just five lab-confirmed deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid swab, 28.6% less than the number recorded a week ago.
The latest figures show that nearly 35.2 million Britons have been given at least one dose of Covid vaccine, after another 119,349 first injections were administered yesterday.
The NHS also dished out a further 449,716 second doses, bringing the total number of people fully vaccinated against the disease to 17.2 million.
Some 66.8% of adults have had a first jab, while nearly a third have had their second.

We are also at around 1000 Covid patients in hospital. These two numbers are the only reasons to have any limits in place. Given that flu/pneumonia don’t bring with them restrictions, the fact more are dying from them is important. There is no justification in the present for any restrictions. Add to that the fact the next antibody study will clearly show over 70%, that the Indian variant isn’t more deadly or able to live past vaccines…what justification is there for not ending all measure today? No medical one…but social and political, well that has always been the issue.
The Covid restrictions were never there for medical reasons. They are social control measures, and though varied from time to time, they will never be fully rescinded by governments, like that in the UK, which takes its lead directly from Bill Gates.
An attempt to go for zero covid? And a desire to cover political backs? I feel sure if this had been a new influenza virus pandemic our Government would not have acted like this. I feel our populations have become obsessed with avoiding illness at all cost
It’s not. Look, it’s so obviously not benign. Please cease trying to find non-malign explanations. It’s delaying realisation that we’re in peril.
I don’t mean to hector, but once you see it, you cannot unsee.
You are not hectoring. It is necessary nagging. We need more like you, lots more.
It’s those things and unfettered by Christian morality capitalist pharmaceutical profit, aka greed.
The restrictions are only there to drive vaccine uptake, since it cannot yet be mandatory, and the universal vaccine drive is towards vaccine passports, ie total medicalised worldwide control. Fantastically profitable. And fantastically totalitarian.
And the next move, coming any day now, is to identify a new variant as deathly to the young, especially children. So get your children jabbed, and any deaths while that rollout happens are down to the new Covid. Will happen before September.
Some of the bleating on Twitter about the anti-lockdown march in April was about it would ignite a massive infection spike. It is not showing up in the figures and it likely would have done by now I think?
I was there, yeah it’s nice up here in heaven!
The same fear-mongering as Eastbourne on the beach, way back in the early days when much less was known about this bug, we do know what didn’t happen then, despite the terrorizing. Don’t people learn from experience?
Let’s. Stop. Counting. Corpses. Please.
Absolutely and why do we insist on bleating about bloody vaccines this a SEASONAL DISEASE just look at last year’s figures WITHOUT vaccines.
The sheeple haven’t got memories that long.
I feel for families losing loved ones from cancer, heart disease and dementia. They must feel like their loved ones life was less important, not worthy of wall to wall news coverage.
Also, if the funds used for this pandemic had been put into dementia research, could a cure have been found? Would my 3 lost family members (in their 60s & 70s) be the last to die young of it in my family and many others.
“five lab-confirmed deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid swab”
What the f. does that actually mean in real terms? Pathology or just another speculative swab? You don’t need a lab to confirm death
– and the presence of a bit of RNA has already been noted.
So : respiratory disease with pneumonia-type symptoms and the speculative RNA present …… ? We know that 127,000 + figure is fiction – so applying proportionality, perhaps there was one death possibly from SARS-CoV-2 ….??
… or not???
I’ve seen, and been infuriated by, that term before.
I’ve been assuming it’s just complicated phraseology to create a more impressive impression than is warranted.
Perhaps “lab-confirmed” means that a laboratory tested a second sample, to confirm the positive result from some earlier test (ideally performed by a separate laboratory, but perhaps an on-the-spot, lateral flow, one). However, I suspect any “case” (= positive test result) that is found by laboratory testing is just being misdescribed as having been “confirmed” by the laboratory. (Though, as you’ve noted, the word order doesn’t really support it being the “positive” that was “confirmed”.)
What I’d hope it to mean is that CoViD-19, as the primary cause of death, was confirmed by a pathology laboratory. I said, “would hope”, because, in the time of the scamdemic, harbouring any such hope would mark me as insane.
I thought journalists were supposed to make the facts clear for us, not just copy & paste some impenetrable PR release.
Just under 120k first injections. Mmh.
Thankfully.
I wish it was a good sign, but there are just fewer people to be vaccinated now.
They’ve not even used coercion yet.
They’ll easily reach 80%. U.K. is properly cooked.
It’s depressing.
How many deaths today within 28 days of a vaccination?
Nope, we’re not counting those
Total deaths from Covid vaccines in UK nearly 1100 up to 29th April, assume more by now sadly but no one seems to care
Total deaths possibly associated, and an unknown number of deaths simply not associated or reported. Very complex. Very disturbing.
Actually (mild optimism) – from what I can see wasn’t particularly ‘good’ electoral news for Johnson.
It was the result of the total uselessness of Labour under Starmer, and votes that would normally have gone in that direction going to the Greens or LibDems. It was a ‘default’ victory – even more than usual.
In Sheffield, for instance, the Tories have one seat in the NOC result (from a previous Labour majority) – and that a transfer from an ‘Independent’ aka ‘shy Tory’.
It’s an interesting inversion of the old saw that oppositions don’t ‘win’, governments ‘lose’. In this case it was an ‘opposition’ chucking it away.
Hartlepool confirms this analysis. The Tory vote didn’t increase, there was no swing from Labout, the Labour voters stayed at home.
Low turnout overall, this is no vindication for Johnson, just many potential voters not bothering.
Its bad news for democracy. Good news for the biosecurity totalitarian state.
Yes it did. Admittedly the increase was probably due to voters who voted for the Brexit Party in the GE switching to the Tories.
The situation in Hartlepool has been building for a few years. The Tory + UKIP (or Brexit Party) vote has been ahead of the Labour vote in 3 out of 4 of the last elections. In 2017 voters drifted back to Labour thinking the party & Corbyn supported Brexit.
If Tice hadn’t stood, the Tories would have won in 2019.
Don’t get into the Brexit voter mythologies. These were promulgated and shaped post-hoc by the same press that promotes Covid – and were similarly a distortion that embedded itself in the public mind.
The simple facts are that the voting population was pretty evenly split over Brexit, and a majority of the electorate did not actually vote for it. The overwhelming wave of Brexit sentiment is just another myth.
Totally agree. This country now has no offical opposition. Thus democracy, what little was left of it, is now lost. Neither labour supporters nor the anti-Tory voters could have voted for Starmer and his Tory Mini Me party. There is now no way to vote out the Tories unless Starmer is booted out and Labour returns to being some sort of opposition.
“as the number of people who have received a second dose of a Covid vaccine [sic] soared past 17 million”
In the words of the lovely lady, at the end of the video, “Just stop it! Please!”

It certainly suggests that the polls which show a high level of support for lockdowns and vaccine passes are probably pretty near the mark.
The polls may be near the mark but I am not sure you could draw that conclusion from the election results. Anti-lockdown parties were small, divided, didn’t receive much publicity and people vote tribally and many think that lockdowns were/are inevitable and are now over. Opposition to lockdowns such as that shared by most of those who post here IS very much a niche but I think there’s now a wider centre who can be swayed either way, but they are only hearing one message.
Yes, the total censorship is an effective tool.
I see no way passed it. A year on social media is ineffective, even before the smearing.
I’m having a lot more traction in the US.
Their constitution protects free speech.
Mostly it’s the religious channels that are paying most attention.
Perhaps because there’s an awareness that evil is a thing?
In U.K. we’ve simply forgotten that there are always a minority of utter psychopaths around.
They’re driving a global agenda & they’re winning, hands down.
I will ally myself to any cause which effectively warns people of the imminent danger.
all the people on my road working from home seem to be having a nice time.. lots of breaks.. lots of walks.. cycle rides.. chats outside… maybe that contributed?
I am still amazed that there are so many compliant idiots willing to submit to an experiment with their health.
I used to wonder where they found people to volunteer, its been an eye opener!
Depressing.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. I honestly don’t care if it’s 5 or 500 now. I don’t know any of them so why would I. This constant death reporting has gotten so boring now and nothing ever changes regardless of the figures so why bother.
Be aware that vaccine passports could be introduced at any time.
Israel did when their population was less vaccinated than U.K. now is.
The policies are designed to position us to meekly accept vaccine passports without objection.
Once that system is operating, there is no way out of totalitarian tyranny.
Even getting to this point has no benign interpretation.
Policies have amplified real deaths, from inaccessibility to medical care.
The NHS is so far from normality.
You don’t do that if you’ve good intentions towards the population.
Imagine I’m right.
What are you going to do?
Yes, Mike – I have always had an instinctive reluctance to use intentionality as an explanation when incompetence does a better job.
But in this situation, even my Occam’s shaver has tended to reveal the likelihood of intentionality, backed by cowardice, significance-seeking and money-grubbing. Innocence just doesn’t fit the evidence (I’m talking about those with professional skills and knowledge)
Amongst the population at large, the effect of propaganda-induced Fear is clear to see. The Goebbels and Mengele Memorial Brigade (SAGE/SPI-B) has a lot to answer for, and it can’t now be explained by incompetence and gullibility.
This state makes Cold War fears and fables a flea-bite.
I don’t conform, and I try to raise questions in the minds of all I can, but most minds are closed.
The scariest thing is that many people who questioned the lockdown and the propaganda are lining up for the “vaccine”
There is always hope, never give in to the fear http://stateofthenation.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Covid-Lawsuit-Filed-in-Canada.pdf
But but but, what if your granny was one of the 5 who died and how would you feel. (I mean we all live forever and nobody dies of respiratory diseases).
I still wonder how we would have been faring if there had never been a JibJab… Would natural / herd immunity have brought us to this point anyway.
I guess there’s no way we will ever know. My guess, if we look back through history and all the millions of Upper Respiratory Virus, especially Corona Virus mutations, we would have been fine after a similar period of time.
So-called “CASES” would have been similar but we would never have known about them because there wouldn’t have been the obsessive frenzied fanatical testing regime, of people in no danger from the bug, providing numbers of “CASES”, that include false positives, mild, asymptomatic, nonhazardous, lies, and statistics used to (by the establishments own admission) terrorize the public.
What do we call people who terrorize other people?
We do know that the number of deaths reported in the lies, damn lies, and statistics dished up by the BBC and all of the MSM, to be exaggerated By the government’s own admission by at least 23%. The results of Dr. Clare Craig’s study will make interesting reading…If it makes it out into the public arena that is. I forgot to mention censorship, gagging, and deplatforming. Oh, I could go on… I often do.
Oh and this is definitely worth a look… https://youtu.be/nYOUWPlV-a0
Hugo has been pretty much completely removed from YouTube. Most of his stuff is available direct via his website. He comes up with some pretty poignant stuff. Make your own mind up. I think he’s a breath of fresh air much needed in the current smog of fear.
Britain’s daily coronavirus deaths fell by nearly 30% today, as it stopped raining outside my house
What a surprise. And the next episode is likely to be a load of circular arguments to justify the sale of EUA drugs to the general public.
Oh just FUCK OFF about the vaccines. If not already then soon they will be killing more people than covid
