Just after Health Secretary Sajid Javid said Britain should take a step “closer to normal life”, almost four million clinically vulnerable people have been told by the Government to continue taking “additional precautions” to protect themselves against Covid, including avoiding those who have not been vaccinated. The i has the story.
Updated Government guidance issued on Monday for the 3.8 million people identified as clinically extremely vulnerable stops short of telling them to shield again, but warns them to take extra measures “when Covid disease levels in the general community are high”.
It says: “As someone who is at a higher risk of becoming seriously ill if you were to catch Covid, you may wish to think particularly carefully about additional precautions you might wish to continue to take.”
The guidance suggests people “limit the close contact they have with those they do not usually meet with” and “consider whether you and those you are meeting have been vaccinated”.
Those classed as clinically extremely vulnerable include people with some cancers, illnesses and severe respiratory conditions, who are deemed to be more at risk from Covid infection due to compromised immune systems.
Many are also not able to receive a Covid vaccine due to their health conditions.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid told Parliament it was the “right time” to get the nation “closer to normal life” as he announced a relaxation of Covid rules for the non-vulnerable, but said a “new phase of continued caution” is needed as case numbers “sadly will get worse before they get better”.
Mr Javid said: “There are many people that are immunosuppressed or severely clinically vulnerable, and it is important that every stage of dealing with this pandemic that we are thinking of them and having them front of mind.
“That is what I believe we have done. Of course, where the people in that category are able to take the vaccine, they should be able to do so.”
Critics have accused the Government of abandoning those most in need with the announcement, while charities said the situation for vulnerable people is “very concerning”. …
Rachel Winter Jones, who is clinically extremely vulnerable, said the changes made “no sense” for those who have children under the age of 18, for whom vaccines are currently unavailable. “What, so I can’t meet with my children?,” she told i. …
Previous rules on shielding were lifted in March, with the clinically extremely vulnerable told that “close contact with friends and family will be a personal choice” and that “it is important that you continue to be cautious when meeting others”.

Why doesn’t everyone just use ‘commonsense’ instead of trying to factor every piece of government ‘advice/guidance’ in to their lives? Ergo…you feel unwell/ headache/ sore throat then you don’t visit the person who has a health vulnerability….’vaccination’ is a side show because as we know, and as the manufacturers of ‘vaccines’ have stated, there is no actual ‘vaccine’ derived immunity. Of course, a ‘shielding’ person could see their child if both are well…common sense dictates ( or, it used to) that ‘coughs and sneezes….’ and care can be taken.
The obsession with government directions has made people oblivious to their own commonsense…..it isn’t ‘rocket science’, but the psy ops and relentless messaging ( propaganda) suggests it is something more than plain commonsense. I hope that ‘commonsense’ has been mentioned a sufficient number of times!
Just how are the vulnerable supposed to discern who’s been vaxxed and who hasn’t? More great advice from this shambling government. And does the advice suggest to the vulnerable that they can’t get covid from a vaxxed person?
This may well have been posted before. I make no apologies for re-posting it!
I hope that a few more will take the time to watch it and think about what he is saying.

Ha ha….its the ‘unvaccinated’ who will be avoiding the ‘vaccinated’ with the ‘shedding of their spike proteins and their compromised immune systems.
Well, they’re evidently lying, compared with the leaflets published by the NHS to encourage us to take a jab. In them, they say that “we do not yet know whether it will stop you from catching and passing on the virus”.
F**k that. Husband and I are filthy unvaxxed, our best friends and neighbours are an older couple who are both vulnerable. We go out together, cook dinner for each other at home and next month are going away for a short break together. No chance of that changing. Mrs neighbour didn’t fight cancer to sit at home and ‘shield’ for the rest of her life.
You see how they are beginning to isolate us? They’ll need scapegoats when, as nothing can where no actual threat exists, nothing changes and an excuse must be found to continue the exercise, and they need to demonise us so that the gullible public will feel no sympathy for us when the tyrants move to eliminate dissenters.
Just as ‘you vill own nussink ant you villl be heppy’ means they will take everything we have and make it impossible for us to complain so ‘everyone must be vaccinated’ means that anyone who refuses has no future.
The silver lining is that most of those who work so assiduously to destroy us are themselves doomed.
Not the first to be demonised. “Chavs – The Demonization of the Working Class”.
Now who is it who despises the English working class? (sorry RickH…)
“Consider whether those you are meeting have been vaccinated”
How long until the linchings begin?
So people have the vaccine to reduce their symptoms and this makes them safer to be around…riiiiight. So you can’t transmit it if you are not symptomatic…? Hmmm
Im avoiding anybody thats been injected, they can keep their toxic DNA changing nanoparticles to themselves!
I think I am actually amongst the clinically-vulnerable, but I got overlooked. I am also unvaccinated. How do I avoid myself Mr Javid?
The only way is schizophrenia.
The evidence says the jabbed are the proeblem so why are the vulnerable not being told to avoid them?
“what – does this mean I can’t meet my own children [who are too young to have been offered the vaccine]?”
FGS! These idiots must have known they were vulnerable to the flu/chicken pox/norovirus/salmonella etc before ever there was c19. What did they do then?
I hate to say it but some people bear more resemblance to lemmings than to humans made in the image of God.
This is what happens when people are repeatedly told they are helpless and must rely on the beneficence of the State. Infantilised. What have we become?
So the vaccinated can’t catch it or spread it to others? Now I got it.
I’ve just overheard someone saying that they had covid last year and are double jabbed but they are not going back into the office because UK infections are ‘in the red’ and they don’t want to catch covid again. These people are the problem and the reason we will NEVER move on. These Gov proclamations are just fueling their insanity. The line is being drawn deeper in the sand. So be it.
Yet more advice designed to harm rather than heal.
‘Avoid those not vaccinated?’
The non-vaccine injections do not stop anyone from catching the alleged virus and do not stop transmission so non injected are just as safe as those injected. In fact probably safer because a lot of reported deaths are now of the doubly injected.
More Orwellian nonsense. Crap like this is really insulting to those of us with some intelligence left.
Bastards.
How will they know who to avoid?
And since these immunowhatsit people are themselves unvaccinated, who can approach whom?
Scintillating conversation:
CV:Hello, I’m clinically vulnerable. Are you vaccinated?
Vaxxoid: Are you?
CV: No.
Vaxxoid: Then don’t you come near me.
Non-vaxxer: You can come near me, I don’t mind.
CV: Are you vaccinated?
Non-vaxxer: No. Are you?
CV: No.
Non-vaxxer: That’s all right then.
CV: No it isn’t.
And so ad infinitum.
The WHO announced via this publication – in mid to late 2019:
“We need to have a co-ordinated global experience of a respiratory pathogen release which by September of 2020 must put in place a universal capacity for public relations management, crowd control and the acceptance of a universal vaccine mandate.”
WHODUNNIT? THE AWFUL TRUTH ABOUT COVID19 HAS FINALLY EMERGED
https://richardsonpost.com/howellwoltz/22618/whodunnit-the-awful-truth-about-covid19-has-finally-emerged/
Libertarian, freedom-loving, bold Alexander “Boris” Johnson and his libertarian assistant Said Javid strike again. You can just sense the urge they have to move on from covid and get back to normal.
This kind of thing is just plain evil. When is the LS team going to grasp this and start to plan for the long campaign needed to chip away at the madness. The evil loonies in charge are not going to deliver us from madness.
How are the clinically vulnerable meant to know who is unvaccinated? Maybe the unvaccinated should be made to wear bells to signify they’re unclean. Bring it on, I’d wear my bell with pride to show that I can think for myself.
I wonder how those vulnerable pensioners in Florida are coping in their retirement homes?
. “What, so I can’t meet with my children?,” she told i. …
Of course she can if she chooses, why are people so dense?
You would think if the government ‘cared’ so much for people they would introduce treatment protocols like ivermectin and zinc etc.
Hmm that Rachel Winter Jones woman has a Twitter profile with a badge that says #masksinschools so I think that sums up what she thinks of her own children. Poor little blighters being made to think that they’re killing Mommy for getting an education and breathing.
If the Fascist brutes cared for people they’d treat them like human beings.
The obvious elephant in the living room is that when one’s immune system is no longer functioning, they die.
Cunts
I’m nit extremely. vulnerable and I have no right to lecture those who are. But I do wonder if I would want to continue with that living death.
They have it backwards — the vulnerable should be weary of the vaccinated, not the unvaccinated.
We’re at the point in the infectious cycle where the vaccinated have high levels of asymptomatic infection. What’s more, they will be more infectious than an equivalent unvaccinated person with asymptomatic infection, and for longer.
This is because the unvaccinated are fairly likely to become infected in their upper respiratory tract, and while the anti-spike antibodies from vaccination will stop the infection getting worse (reduce the risk of symptomatic infection), they will also suppress the action of the innate immune system and thus stop it clearing the infection up.
I believe this is what we are seeing in the latest Zoe app data — we have passed the peak of infections in the unvaccinated, however, there are still high levels of asymptomatic infection in the vaccinated, some of which are slowly getting converted into symptomatic covid; cases of symptomatic covid are still increasing in the vaccinated:

But note that they have been infectious for some time; this longer term presence of disease in the vaccinated is likely to maintain infectious pressure for a while longer, changing the recovery in this infectious cycle from… Read more »
The fear porn has been turned up a notch.

How are they supposed to identify the unvaccinated?
It’s a good point. Though I believe this is designed to get those fully on board the Covid train to alienate those few family members refusing to get vaccinated. Not just family either, but friends too. This is an attempt to use loved ones as pressure on those refusing.
People ask. I think that’s one of the reasons they ask.
The unvaccinated are an easy bunch to spot, just look for these tell tale signs:
-visibly at ease with themselves and others
-will enter shops without a mask over their face
-greet their fellow humans with hugs and handshakes
-not likely to step into oncoming traffic to avoid you
-sparkle of life in their eyes
Bells round out neck? Wouldn’t put that past the tyrants that call themselves a government,
Arm bands!
They will be branded with a ‘U’ on the forehead (above the mask line).
Don’t worry, I’m sure Big Brother will come up with a way to identify us…..maybe some kind of badge to wear?
More coercion. Fucking get me off this planet
Unfortunately, I think that’s what they are working on!
Unclean! Unclean!
that’s just nasty because vulnerable people probably do this anyway if they know someone has a cold etc. They can wear a mask or a scarf over their mouth but causing division like this is disgraceful
