With the vaccination of those most vulnerable to Covid achieved some time ago, Britain’s vaccine roll-out has encompassed younger and younger age groups. Most recently, more than half of people in their 30s have been vaccinated in just two weeks, and polling suggests that the overall uptake will be close to 90% in this age group (as well as in all others). Yet Government advisers continue to insist that the June 21st date for unlocking is “too early”. The MailOnline has the story.
NHS England said that, since it began opening up the vaccine roll-out to this age group on May 13th, some 53% of those aged 30 to 39 have been given at least one dose.
People aged 30 to 31 were the most recent group to be invited for their jab – from Wednesday – with more than five million appointments made through the national booking service within 72 hours.
It means the Government continues to be on track to hit the deadline of offering a vaccine to every adult by the end of July.
The continued success of the rollout is also one of the Government’s four tests to allow a further easing of restrictions, with the final one in just over three weeks time.
But Linda Bauld, Professor of Public Health at the University of Edinburgh, has said June 21st is “too early” to lift coronavirus restrictions in England.
She told Sky News: “I really think that it is too early to be charging ahead. I would like to see several more weeks’ data.”
She said the planned date is “very ambitious”, adding: “June 21st is very soon and I think to avoid more preventable deaths… we really need to be cautious at the current time.”
It comes as a scientific adviser warned confusion over the Government’s handling of Covid restrictions was undermining efforts to control the virus.
Professor Stephen Reicher, a psychologist on the SAGE sub-committee advising ministers on behavioural science, said the Government was in a “pickle” because it appeared to have abandoned the “data not dates” principle.

“Indoctrination from a young age is key” which seems to be the objective in state-controlled education in general.
Let’s hope no-one is being raised on selective anti-gentile teachings of the Talmud either.
“Let’s hope no-one is being raised on selective anti-gentile teachings of the Talmud either.” I know nothing about the Talmud but let’s for a moment assume it contains “anti-gentile teachings”. My answer would be that I would rather it didn’t, but honestly, so what? How many Jews are there on planet Earth? How many are there ever likely to be? How many Muslims are there on planet Earth and how many are there ever likely to be?
Quantity is not necessarily a deciding factor. Regardless of the religion, if those in positions of power and influence adhere to the negative aspects of their scripture it can have a disproportionate impact.
mRNA vaccine manufacturers, employees, regulators and politicians are a drop in the ocean of the world population. Shared goal, disproportionate impact.
Well yes, but Jews number around 20 million (and one smallish country), Muslims about 2 billion (and many dozens of countries, some with notable natural resources).
People only have influence if others allow themselves to be influenced.
The majority of us will be influenced to some extent which is why the world is the way it is. It must currently be more difficult otherwise censorship and intensive propaganda would not be so necessary.
True, though ultimately the responsibility lies with our fellow citizens too many of them have been, and continue to be, asleep or indeed actively promoting the demise of our civilisation.

He makes this sound like a playground spat but perhaps that’s his way of distancing himself from all the deaths he has caused. Weakening the Russian regime, intelligence gathering on their capability, buying time to re-establish UK forces, rebuild contracts, arms sales have no part of this?
Was RT banned only because of the Ukraine war or because they had also been warning of woke years before Boris did nothing about it?
The news is reporting that he is to make an unreservedly insincere and meaningless apology at the COVID inquiry.
These COP summits are really rather like Anti-Christmas. Instead of wondering what you’re going to get given, you wonder what they’re going to take away from you.

“Why is sky Australia so good?”
It (like Fox News in the US, and the New York Post newspaper) is still owned by the Murdoch family. Sky UK is part of some global media empire that is as woke as they come (as almost all of them are). What other notable global firms in the media space are non-woke? X – owned by Musk. Can’t think of any others. Not many other big firms of any kind are notably non-woke, except for those that are still privately owned.

Honestly, where do these lunatics spring from? Doesn’t he know how all those city dwellers and businesses get their food, clothes, lattes, pet food…endless list? Does he not see that pollution comes with a consumer society? That pollution could be dealt with if there was a political will to do so but the councils and Westminster would rather focus on diversity targets and transgender issues and bogus climate change actions and penalising the people than actually making life better, more bearable, cleaner etc. This man needs his P45 like I need my second coffee of the day…urgently!
Maybe they expect a return to the railway’s?
Or rip out the tram lines!
Ah, been there, done that!
For the record, CO2 and water vapour are not pollutants.
Yes, I know EB. Did I refer to those? No.
True, but steam is by far the worst greenhouse gas! So when we’ve bankrupted the western world offsetting carbon, steam will be the new target!
Greenhouse gas? Come on Dinger.

“Net Zero fanaticism now means overlooking Assad’s grotesque war crimes”
Let’s be clear: the West is determined to change the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Now, I have no inside knowledge about the Assad regime and can’t say for sure that this chemical attack was orchestrated by Assad in desperation but doesn’t it suit the West to be able to pin such an atrocity on the man they wish to remove. It’s well documented that the West want to remove him leaving Iran as the one remaining ‘rogue’ state. Syria is rich in resources – oil, gas and phosphates (fertilisers) and, most importantly, it also has pipelines capable of bringing gas to the Mediterranean. So whatever stories are spun in the msm are designed to continue the drip-drip of propaganda that will inevitably lead, at some point, to the country being taken out. I read the article linked and have to say it is a pile of hypocritical dog poo – what else could you expect from Tobias Ellwood? It fails to mention or allude to the West’s appalling record on human rights violations, the massacres it has supported and the myriad of actions to undermine the Syrian state. Assad is no saint but picturing him as the ‘tyrant in his palace’ as if he’s an ogre is so childish. It doesn’t even attempt to keep things in perspective. What really gets me is this paragraph though:
“The 100-year international taboo on the use of chemical weapons is evaporating. They are still used intermittently in Syria and, in 2018, were deployed with impunity in Salisbury on a far smaller scale. We cannot fully dismiss the possibility of a chemical attack in Ukraine if it might prevent Putin from conceding defeat. And with Russia sitting behind Iran, and Iran behind Hamas and Hezbollah, we cannot dismiss their use elsewhere.”
We know where this is going. Tying up all the loose ends in a convenient way to point fingers and prepare the ground for war against Iran. However, to say that chemical weapons are only used by these ‘evil doers’ as Bush Jr with his clumsy syntax would probably have said is disingenuous in the extreme as Covid ‘vaccines’ – a chemical weapon if ever there was one – continue to ramp up the death and injured toll in the millions.
“ can’t say for sure that this chemical attack was orchestrated by Assad in desperation “
I don’t like Assad but yes this was a total BS false flag operation (as usual). UK Column has covered this quite a bit.
And let’s not forget the US involvement with Iraq in its use of chemical weapons during the Iran Iraq war, agent Orange, depleted uranium, phosphorus, on and on and, as you say, spike mRNAs.
