It was revealed last week that the BBC is offering white lanyards to staff who are returning to the office but would like to continue ‘social distancing’. The Corporation has since exceeded itself by publishing an article highlighting “calls” for the introduction of wearable symbols showing that the wearer has a weakened immune system and would like to keep a distance.
There’s just one call mentioned in the article, actually, from a man who would like the system to become an “accepted way of people identifying themselves”.
Neil Collingwood, 64, from Leek, Staffordshire, said the ending of England’s lockdown rules on July 19th was not good news for people less able to fight off Covid.
Even people with two vaccine jabs were not completely without risk, he said.
He has made a prototype armband.
It “is bright orange and uses the universal symbol for first aid”, Mr Collingwood explained.
He has it in mind for adults with weakened immune systems, or who are immuno-suppressed, and less able to battle infections naturally. …
“There are about half a million people in the U.K. whose immune systems are not effective,” he said.
Recent studies suggest they do not receive as much protection from Covid vaccines as other people.
Mr Collingwood, who has chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, a form of blood cancer, as well as type one diabetes, leaves the house only to exercise and occasionally take photographs as part of his work as a historian and author. …
“I’ve already had people who have refused to get out of my way,” he said, “with one person shouting ‘grow up it’s not going to kill you.'”
“Some of the people in my situation may be 10 or 12 years old, they will never – as things stand – be able to have normal lives,” said Mr Collingwood.
“I probably don’t have all that long left, but I’m damned if I want to sacrifice what time I have got left because of stupidity, and the fact we are not being considered as a very important vulnerable group.”

Beggars bloody belief. ‘Virology’ about as much of a science as reading chicken entrails.
-Scariant from what?
-How is it identified?
-What test are these morons using to identify the scariant?
-Why is this test accurate?
-How does it flitter from host to host?
-Provide proof that it is transmitted by air (replicable proof)
-Prove that watching a fracking movie in a theatre transmits anything
-Where is it isolated?
-How is it different than a cold or flu?
-Why would quackcines taken 2 years ago be ‘effective’?
-What proof do these idiots have for any of their claims about cases or illness?
Honestly, just f-off with the horseshit fake $cience and fake medicine.
Is anyone still listening to this nonsense?
Yup – the sheeple will lap it up and continue to be scared.
Those of us who have a functional brain and immune system couldn’t give a rat’s arse what you want to call any lurgy that’s circulating at any given time. Only a total saddo would pay further heed to this nonsense.😴
Then there’s those who are totally dysfunctional upstairs;

Addendum. The difference between me and Simon Goddeck is that I have literally zero sympathy for these cultish wassocks!

Who gives a s**t. The chancellor might be interested if it diverts resources, perhaps. There was a story today about spending more on private healthcare to reduce NHS waiting times. That said, notwithstanding the other scaremonger output about the weather, here we have had a cloudy, wet July (thus a reduced amount of UV-B), which might have had an effect on our ability to manufacture our own vitamin D, thus higher than average risk of not being able to deal with various bugs.
I’m more concerned that that many people went to watch Barbie.
As you were the first to mention the ‘B’ word you win the prize.

Experts have speculated that the ‘Barbenheimer effect’ – referring to the release of Barbie and Oppenheimer – might have contributed to the rise in infections, as well as the recent bad weather and waning immunity.
I’d rather that the ‘Experts’ get back to their day jobs.. Driving taxi’s and cutting hair…
I wouldn’t let any of that scum anywhere near my barnet, and I’d rather walk then be driven by one of them in a taxi. They’d probably kill you anyway.
Go-to scientist Simon Clarke being deployed. Back during the era of Classic COVID, he was a Conservative Councillor but that didn’t seem important enough to mention alongside his contributions.
“Globally, Eris – known in Greek mythology as the goddess of strife and discord”
Aye, aye. Trouble on the way methinks. The DD’s do enjoy these little word games.
So what?
Pfizer releases new scarient to boost weaning ‘vaccine sales’.
Errr…..what, exactly, is the problem?
‘It is therefore arguable that in the case of infections like coronavirus or rhinovirus colds, which are normally quickly self-limited, the best approach would be to relieve the patient’s discomfort and disability and leave their immune system to take care of the virus.’
‘The view from the common cold unit’ D.A.J. Tyrrell’ June 1992
Indeed, and the view from the common sense unit since time immemorial.
If only we had proper herd immunity via recovery from whatever “it” was- 99.9% – none of this could happen.
Instead we’ve got about 80% of the UK population whose immune systems have in varying degrees, been trashed by the jab and they’re the ones keeping the farrago alive.
GVB and others were correct.
Meanwhile the sheep wait with baited breath for the next really really scariant and “The Science” carries on collecting fame and fortune.
COVID exerts suck sperm whales through perspex screens.
No worse than the last variant. So what’s the panic about? Simple answer to the question: if testing was stopped there would be no panic.
If a proper test was used there would be no virus!
Pardon me for being a bit thick, but what has Barbie and Oppenheimer got to do with it? Crowded cinemas?
For the record, I went to see the latter last Sunday and the cinema was largely empty.
Is that the same PCR test that was used last time with 40 cycles? Idiots!
Yawn.
This is so f…ing boring I haven’t even bothered to read the article. When is this nonsense going to stop? Another big fat nothing burger to go with all the other big fat nothing burgers.
Honestly.
Do you think that the UKHSA have read ‘Peter and the Wolf’?
