Northern Ireland’s Vaccine Rollout Now Open for Everyone Over 18

by Michael Curzon
27 May 2021 11:06 AM

Northern Ireland has become the first part of the U.K. to offer appointments for Covid vaccines to its entire adult population. People aged 18-39 will have the option to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine, despite its potential links to blood clotting (particularly in younger people) and, now, strokes. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation said earlier this month that Brits below the age of 40 should only be offered alternatives to this vaccine “where possible“. BBC News has more.

More than one million people in Northern Ireland have received a first dose of a Covid vaccine.

The Department of Health said vaccine supplies had become limited and 20,000 slots would be available each week.

The limit is to help manage the availability of the Pfizer vaccine after regulators said under 40s should be given an alternative to the AstraZeneca vaccine, the department said.

However, it said anyone aged between 18 and 39 years old could still choose to have AstraZeneca jab…

Walk-in vaccination centres are open to over-18s in some parts of Wales, while in Scotland 18-to-29 year-olds can register for a text or email when they become eligible for an appointment.

A total of 1,6460,981 vaccines have been given so far in Northern Ireland…

Chief Medical Officer Dr Michael McBride said Northern Ireland was “dealing with the emergence of new variants” and that everyone had “a part to play in keeping each other safe”.

He said: “I know that many young people will be very keen to book their jab now that they’re eligible for vaccination.

“It’s important to understand that while the risk of severe disease is lower in young people, some may become very ill and, of course, they can pass on the virus to others who may be more vulnerable.”

He urged everyone aged 18 and over to book a slot for vaccination, including those in older age-groups who have yet had a jab.

Worth reading in full.

“Risk of disease is lower in young people”… Try virtually non-existent.

This is M U R D E R. The young & healthy recipients are at greater risk of death or disability from the vaccines than from the virus.

I’m worried about how it is going to work out for the young people in my family who likely have their jab appointments booked and will have done zero independent research nor would think, despite being very intelligent, to question the narrative at all. I am very worried for them.

My children are early 20s and so are getting closer to the call-up; I’m not at all sure they will heed my warnings that being jabbed is a huge mistake for them 🙁

Hence that feeling of drenching coldness from the scalp down when I read this stuff.

Remember the call -up of 1914? That worked out rather well. Keep warning your youngsters, they’ll thank you in the long-term.

Best possible option is to skip the vaccine.

So far as the UK is concerned, 2 children have died since the start, whereas around 150 die each year in road accidents. Where is the sense of perspective, in fact, where is the sense?

Sorry? Is this supposed to be good news? You certainly present it as though it is, still under the delusion that coercive mass vaccination is going to make you free.

The sad truth is this should be headlined “Some previously healthy young people in Northern Ireland are going to get very sick and/or die – and all for nothing.”

and even worse they seem determined to jab them with AZ which even the birds in the trees know is more dangerous in young people

Sigh…

  • It’s not a vaccine…
  • By the manufacturers’ own admission it does not prevent infection or transmission, just reduces the severity of future symptoms
  • It hasn’t completed clinical trials
  • There is no long-term safety data
  • One of the “vaccines” has been banned entirely in Norway and limited in its use in many other countries, on safety grounds
  • More than 1100 people have died in the UK following vaccination according to Yellow Card Adverse reporting (a rate of 1 death for every 31,000 people vaccinated)
  • As observed throughout the world, vaccination depresses the immune system immediately afterwards, making people susceptible to infections, in particular, ironically, COVID-19
  • The vaccine has authorisation for emergency use only. Are we still in an emergency? Deaths per day are now in single figures. Positive tests have been below 0.4% for three months.
  • For people under the age of 48, death from influenza is a bigger risk than death from COVID-19. Do we vaccinate all under 48s against influenza? No we do not.

*insert “it’s so tiresome” meme here*

It’s debatable that we were ever in an “emergency”, other than the one created by the government.

Restore The Balance Group, Time for Recovery are today handing to every 650 MPs a copy of Laura Dodsworths new book ‘A State of fear’. It heavily criticises the governments use of fear and scare tactics to elicit compliance with lock downs.
Sadly my MP won’t read it, he’s too busy climbing the greasy pole. Hopefully though, if a percentage of them do, they may start to realise that if they continue to back the fat controller’s continued use of emergency powers unquestioningly then their days are numbered.

I tried very hard last autumn, speaking with a few dozen MPs and writing to over 1000 at the Palace of Westminster (with Dr Clare Craig & Dr Jonathan Engler).
It was hopeless. They are genuinely not bright enough to understand they’re being lied to, as well. A small handful only have ever come back to thank me / us for warning them.
Mostly stupid, or cowardly, or complicit, or all three.
There will be no salvation from Parliament.

Was this presented by the NHS as a. an option, or b. a fait accompli?

I would suggest the latter.

Well shucks! If its rolled out in Northern Ireland it must be ok. It’s not like the British govt have a history of oppressing or annihilating their citizens. Not at all. A benign dictatorship like UK Plc would def not roll out a potentially fatal gene therapy amongst them.

I was in Plymouth yesterday and they are doing a Valneva trial at Derriord Hospital, if you are under 30 you definitely get the Valneva vaccine, it looked like they had no shortage of under 30s volunteering for the Valneva trial, presumably in order to avoid the NHS Pfizer/Moderna/AZ options?

“Chief Medical Officer Dr Michael McBride said Northern Ireland was “dealing with the emergence of new variants” and that everyone had “a part to play in keeping each other safe”.

“It’s important to understand that while the risk of severe disease is lower in young people, some may become very ill and, of course, they can pass on the virus to others who may be more vulnerable.”

Oh, for FLIPS sake! The “vaccines” DON’T stop infection or transmission onto others! Risk of disease in young people is minimal! And as for everyone having a “part to play” this feels like one massive production of pretence, from pretending that masks and unsocial distancing works to pretending we are ALL disease-carrying vectors.

Like dozy Joe on that US childrens wildlife TV show (LS ATL yesterday) urging kids to

Mothers, jab your babies with untested drugs so as to keep other people safe.
With a mother like that, you sure don’t need a wicked stepmother.

So young people are allowed to decide for themselves whether it’s best for them to get an AZ vaccine or not, but they’re not allowed to decide upon other basic risks for themselves like hugging a friend or going for a swim 🤔 How do people not see the double standards in this?!

Hospitals in Northern Ireland are overwhelmed. Not a peep from the media. No shots of Ambulances lined up and sadly, this time, no spare nurses for a Tik Tok video.

Could it be the lack of COVID occupying the beds which explains the lack of interest?

I do not actually know any person who has had covid.

However I do know seven people who had the experimental gene therapy. Three of them have had significant side effects, three are ok and I am waiting to hear about a friend who had the jab yesterday and started suffering a debilitating headache shortly afterwards.

Says it all really.

According to Dr Mike Yeadon these experimental gene therapy drugs kill approximately I in 1,000. W.H.O’s current IFR rate for C-19 is 0.14%. This figure covers all ages and people with chronic health issues therefore young people in good health are at the very least equally likely to die of C-19 as of the vaccines.

I’m terrified that my 23 year old healthy daughter who lives away from home now will feel pressured into getting the vax. I’m 54, healthy and have not had it as I can see this scam for what it is. She knows my thoughts but I know she suffers from anxiety which is why she gives into the mask scam, as she cannot deal with being ‘the odd one out’

According to Michael McBride it seems that this vaccine will only work in person A as long as person B gets it. Is that how vaccines are supposed to work?
