Health Secretary Sajid Javid Set to Rule Out Unlocking on July 5th

2 min read

Allies of Sajid Javid say that his approach to Covid will be radically different to that of Matt Hancock’s because he is “much less ‘nanny state-ish'”. But today, the new Health Secretary is expected to tell Brits that July 5th is too early for “Freedom Day” to take place and that the nation’s unlock will have to be held off for at least a further two weeks. The MailOnline has the story.

The new Health Secretary will deliver a statement to MPs in the House of Commons this afternoon in which he will set out the latest thinking on when rules can be axed.

Boris Johnson built in a two-week review point when he announced the original four-week delay to the final step of his lockdown exit roadmap. 

But Mr Javid will reportedly say the nation is not yet in a position to return to normal life but hopes are high that will be possible by the July 19th deadline. 

Sources have suggested that Mr Javid’s approach to the pandemic will be radically different to Matt Hancock’s because he is “much less nanny-state-ish” than his predecessor…

Some Tory MPs are pushing for the Government to ease the rules from July 5th due to the ongoing success of the U.K.’s vaccination drive. 

Mr Javid will tell MPs that July 5th is not possible but he is expected to say he is confident that the July 19th easing will be able to go ahead as planned, according to the Times…

[A source told the newspaper]: “[Javid] is someone who has not been keen on the restrictions, someone who sees the economic and social impact. 

“Saj’s outlook is much less ‘nanny state-ish’, although I’m sure he will be challenged by scientific and medical advisers.” …

Mr Javid said yesterday: “We are still in a pandemic and I want to see that come to an end as soon as possible and that will be my most immediate priority, to see that we can return to normal as soon and as quickly as possible.”

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: The Prime Minister has confirmed that a July 5th unlock will not go ahead, saying instead that “we’re very likely to be in a position on July 19th to say that really is the terminus and we can go back to life as it was before Covid as far as possible”.

According to the ONS earlier this month, Covid deaths were 10% of conventional Flu deaths.

Where is the rush for conventional Flu vaccines?

And if the mRNA injections can’t cope with regular Flu, what chance does it have against the multiple Covid variants?

How many ‘boosters’ will be required? I can think of at least three variants to infect the UK since March 2020.

I imagine the pharmaceutical companies will be rubbing their grubby paws together at the prospect of £7.5 billion booster jabs every 4 months to protect humanity.

I’m afraid it was obvious as soon as Hancock (the gift that goes on giving) resigned there would be no early release. It would be a far braver incoming Minister than any we have to reverse the policy within hours of taking office.

There’s even a good chance that as Javid gets briefed by his sold-out team that he will go for longer than 19 July. A lot will depend on how closely he has followed the real evidence over the last year, or whether he is ignorant of the truth and reliant on the SAGE charlatans.

He is no different to Hancock, maybe not as much in your face but still part of the Global Reset elite. They are not going to give up controlling us without a fight.

As soon as he uttered ‘Build back better’, I knew that we had jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. Has been to Davos, so ‘vaccinated’ by Schwab. The leaked documents purporting to be from Pantsdown Ferguson about permanent lockdown from September, Reuters say are false, but I don’t trust them either. Time will tell I suppose, but we are well on our way to totalitarianism.

This country and indeed much of the world is looped in a cycle of fear. We are still treating Covid as if it were the bubonic plague. Even when we do open up millions of people will either stay in their homes or start lambasting their fellow citizens for not wearing face muzzles. The messaging needs to change but to do that politicians and the scientists advising them need to admit that they have exaggerated the threat all along. We will be back in lockdown by the autumn.

‘life before Covid as far as possible’?? Typical weasel words. Of course it’s fucking possible you flabby, pasty bedwetter. It’s been possible ever since before the first lockdown, which should never have happened.

“Easing” – is not an end.

“back to life as it was before Covid as far as possible.” – could mean no change at all.

So, if they can only vaccinate us with experimental MRNA under emergency usage laws and lockdowns can only be enforced using emergency laws then you cant give one without keeping the other. I.e. No lockdowns = no ability to give us the shots. Ergo, the lockdowns will not end whilst they still want to vaccinate everyone.

SJ had to go and spoil it all didn’t he!

He definitely sounds on for Release Day on 19 July (dammit) but out came the B.B.B wink to The Master.

I’ll not rest until they chuck out the Coronavirus 2020 Act though, and forget any ideas about future lockdowns.

Makes no difference to me: I’m not observing any rules and I’ve got my Ivermectin but until all my acquaintances are given the official ok, I won’t have a social life.

Sorry to rain on your party but Javid voted with the Government on all the Lockdown votes etc. He is a Politician and as we have learned from this entire sorry debacle Politicians in this country and frankly throughout the western world, care only for their own careers and self aggrandisment. Now Javid is part of the magic circle he will adopt the ways, the cover ups, the lies in order to protect the Party.
We might get some release in July, but the plague Island story that frankly that sour old B—h Merkle is playing out, has been constructed by this Government, to the people of this countries detriment not to any politicians. Merkle and Macron are playing politics because of Brexit, again to the detriment of the citizens of Europe that rely on British tourists for their living.
I think Politics in the western world has now reached a stage where the players are so morally corrupt, so far removed from the people thay are supposed to represent that any credibility or authority they had no longer exists.
Javid might throw a few crumbs but frankly he won’t return freedoms, he won’t stop the “vaccine program”. things will… Read more »

Just seen a huge online advert for the latest Network Rail safety campaign – “Beware the bubble”. It features a hapless pair, both smothered by a muzzle, getting dangerously close to a passing train (on an open-air platform) because they’re in “a bubble”, oblivious to what’s going on around them.

As said earlier today, Javid is simply a fresh face to keep this bandwagon rolling. The Madcock drama was all theatre to create the transition. Many of us saw Madcock was the weakest link right from the beginning, and it was only a matter of time before he would be replaced.

I’m disappointed he has gone. Him staying would probably have been better for us. Better to have a known liar and hypocrite, to make it obvious they are engaged in wrongness, than a slicker talker who hides this better.

Agreed – the more reckless and brazen Hancock got the easier it was for us to point out the hypocrisy. Sajid Covid is far more clinical and quiet with the job he does and will appear far more professional.

Someone linked to this yesterday. Good stuff from Alex Berenson, not least his emphasis on that fact that in country after country where the mass vaccination programme has been introduced, the death rate from Covid and number of cases shoots up. This well established fact is totally ignored by the MSM and the various health authorities in assessing the “success” of the vaccines.

Watched a clip of Sarah Gilbert, designer of the Oxford vaccine, getting a standing ovation at Wimbledon.
Every comment was of the laudatory, well- deserved, wottahero kind.

All I could think of were the blood clots and other injuries and deaths. Maybe she was the same – she looked rather confused and embarrassed.

What pandemic, where? Based on what exactly, all the bodies piling up in the street? Based on 600 million LOST tests? News for you Jabid, people have left that room and have switched the light off!

Globalists don’t do populism. They do do lies. The claim they favour free speech as they censor. They claim they are not racist as they promote racism. They claim they are concerned for people’s health as they make people sicker. They claim they are patriots as they dismantle our culture and our borders.
