Brits Must Get Vaccinated ”If They Want to Travel Internationally Again”, Says Grant Shapps

by Michael Curzon
30 July 2021 10:17 AM

Dominic Raab wasn’t kidding when he said vaccine passports are intended to “coax and cajole” people – especially young people – into getting vaccinated against Covid. This campaign has been upped again today, with Transport Secretary Grant Shapps warning that “if [people in their 20s] want to travel internationally again”, they must get ‘jabbed’. “It’s quite clear now,” he added. The Sun has the story.

The Transport Secretary told young people they should get double-jabbed to regain the freedom to cross borders. …

Mr Shapps said the U.K. is getting back to normal because “fortunately in this country we have very little vaccine hesitancy”.

He said a whopping 90% of Brits have now received a jab but conceded that take up has been lower amongst younger adults.

The Transport Secretary suggested that ministers are relying on the lure of foreign hols to persuade people in their 20s to get vaccinated.

He said: “They will need to get vaccinated if they want to travel internationally again. It’s quite clear now.”

Double-jabbed Brits returning from amber list countries – which includes almost all of Europe and the U.S. – now don’t need to isolate.

The new policy, which comes into force on Monday, will open up hassle-free hols to millions of Brits for the first time in two years.

A number of the popular countries with British tourists also now demand proof of vaccination to enter.

They include favourite destinations on the continent like Portugal, Malta, and France.

Meanwhile double-jabbed visitors to Spain and Greece are able to avoid the cost and uncertainty of needing to provide negative tests. …

Mr Shapps also predicted that having to be double-jabbed to return to the office will become the norm for some workers.

He said it would be a “good idea” for all Brits to get vaccinated before ending working from home.

The cabinet minister insisted there are no plans for the Government to make it compulsory but “some companies will require it”.

Worth reading in full.

I’ve had to obey The Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004 since then, and there have been similar prior to 2004.

In addition, there’s plenty of case law examples, which pretty much demand that you follow international guidelines otherwise you’ll find yourself in trouble (even if they’re not defined in statute).

Beyond that, there’s the usual medical/clinical ethics considerations, that will again be used against you in the courts if you don’t follow the rules.

There’s only two rules that I’ve been told under no uncertain terms that there’s no professional help ‘if things go wrong’ and I’ll be thrown to the dogs if I disobey them even by accident — clinical trials (essentially Good Clinical Practice) and export law relating to drugs that might have military application (ITAR). They’re taken very seriously.

The current situation whereby the vaccines have been released without full testing but where there’s been very little follow on robust pharmacovigilance is exceptionally weird. It is exactly the sort of situation that the rules were developed for (well, that and outright fraud), and they’ve been disregarded.

Such cases more or less conform to Rogerborg’s description of “guidelines”.

The law of the land (as confirmed not long back by the House of Lords in R v. Jones) is that even crimes that are universally accepted internationally have no force in English law unless specifically enacted by Parliament.

I’ve pointed out here before that what people assume to be a constraint upon their rulers often actually isn’t.

This was highlighted for me when it turned out that the supposed “ultimate crime” of waging aggressive war, that our rulers had been using as a pretext for killing foreigners for decades, wasn’t even illegal in this country, for a British Prime Minister.

There was a lot of debate about “did Blair wage a war of aggression against Iraq” or didn’t he (clearly he did, but there was plenty of self-serving denial about). Few noticed that even if he had openly admitted having done so, he could not have been prosecuted because doing so was not illegal in this country.

Indeed, from the ratings, it’s very sad how many people simple assume that the Nuremberg Code is actually incorporated into the UK – or any – law (it’s not), or look to an external higher authority to save them from the incipient despotism (it won’t).

You are right in that we should have the numbers but I hardly ever come across anyone who is as disturbed as me by what’s going on. I have recent tried to ‘wake up’ 2 friends of over 40 years’ standing. I get absolutely nowhere. They see absolutely nothing wrong with these passports an de think I am selfish for not doing my bit to ‘protect’ others. I am beyond despair at how to get more to see the real picture before it is really too late.

I’ve been seeing this ‘Nuremburg Code’ for a few months already. I don’t see Boris, Zahawi, Patel, Shapps, Whitty, Fergison, Hancock, Gove or Michie shaking in their wellies.

What I do see is people being slurred as “anti-vaxxers” and the Government actively encouraging ‘the vaxxed’ to turn against them. Hate Crime is fine when it suits the Government.

Anyone up for yet another Crowdfund for a ‘lawyer’ to get us out of this? Or how about another petition – that will really show them!

Assuming that these “vaccines” are anything other than experimental gene therapy at best is what is grotesque. And it’s you drawing those links. The Nuremberg Code calls for no forced medical procedures, no matter who’s performing them. Assuming that everyone is ok to experiment on people as long as they’re not nazis is another very grotesque thing.

It is impressive how much delusion and anti-human sentiment you managed to squeeze in a single sentence.

The obvious subtext of this and everything about vaccine passes is that the restrictions are not going to end in the foreseeable future.

That is literally what they are telling us. It’s not “you won’t be able to travel for a few months, by when it will alll be over.” It’s “you’ll never travel again”.

They are telling us, to our face, that medically-based travel and work restrictions are effectively here forever regardless of whether Covid is an issue or not.

If it was ever about the virus it isn’t now.

And the climate agenda is aimed at removing the freedom of movement from people by banning cars and planes (or at least making them unavailable for the general population), and by imposing such strict energy consumption restrictions on the population that we will all be plunged back in the 19th century.

Yarp. They’re already openly threatening a health-and-exercise social credit score, although I expect the first thing added to the “vaccine passport” will be a carbon credit score.

They’ve been trying for decades to achieve this, maybe even from the start of the 20th century. Cars becoming mainstream really scared them, I think. All of a sudden, the average pleb had an incredible freedom of movement. Anyone could get in their car, travel anywhere without answering to anyone or anything. People could be more, see more, talk with more people, and dream of more.

Then in the ’60s and ’70s the airplane boom started taking over. Planes were getting more common, whole towns were being built around airports such that you could land and taxi your plane through town, and park it on your driveway, in front of your house. Plane manufacturers were designing planes for families, and there even was a fully working flying car (one model is still flying today). This scared them even more, because now people could easily move between countries, islands, continents without being controlled at all. You could get into your plane and fly to Cuba if you wanted to, and there is not much they could do about it. You were no longer dependant on the government imposing rules on airlines, you were no longer dependant on the government giving you permission to travel. People were getting even more independent. But they saw an end to that, with regulation after regulation, such that today only the upper class can afford a plane. That freedom was taken away from the masses.

They started assaulting car travel quite a few years ago, through climate change. Cars are getting more and more expensive to produce and run because of more stringent legislation. Electric cars are being pushed forwards, and pretty soon internal combustion engines will be fully banned. When that happens, you won’t be able to use your electric car to go on vacation any longer. You’ll only be able to travel 200 or so miles, and then spend 6 hours or more waiting for it to charge. How are you going to go on a trip through Europe like that? You’ll once again be dependant on the government providing you with infrastructure and the permission to use that infrastructure if they like you.

And now we come full circle. You will no longer have any personal means of travelling. No car, no plane, no anything. You will depend on the government to provide you with bus routes, airports, trains. And the government will block you from using any of them if you don’t wear a mask, if you don’t vaccinate, if you have a criminal record, if you have debts, if you are identified as subversive, if you say the wrong things, if you think the wrong things. And they’ll always say “We’re not stopping you from travelling. You’re stopping yourself.”

Our civilization’s distinctive feature is a strong willingness to give away our freedoms in exchange for sweet words and the government’s embrace. I wonder if people 2000 years from now, studying our history like we study the Roman Empire, will learn anything from this? Or, who knows, maybe this regime will be eternal, and 2000 years from now there will be no concept of history, since history is offensive and oppressive, and all that matters is the Eternal Party and the Supreme Ruler.

We have had violence drummed out of us. For the most part that is a good thing. I’d certainly not want to live in a society where violence is part of everyday life. But in the process we were made to forget that defending yourself is not violence, it’s not an attack. It took the French Revolution to unseat corrupt royalty. The Berlin wall and Communism didn’t peacefully fall by themselves. Freedom is always paid for in blood, it seems, and people are too quick to forget that.

Two things to take from that:

  1. There may have been no violence then and there, but the Communist party could see all the violence that was happening around Czechoslovakia and took heed of it. And it was a good choice, considering that just a few weeks after this, Romania executed their dictator.
  2. It took between 200,000 and 500,000 protesters to end that regime. In London we’ve that many on several occasions, and even up to 1,000,000. Hundreds of thousands have gathered in major European cities. Not only have governments not resigned, but they haven’t even changed their policies in response. This marks the Velvet Revolution as a clear exception, and one that simply cannot happen today. I am pretty convinced that even if you could get 60m British people out in the streets protesting, nothing will change. They are no longer afraid of us, and they no longer feel they are answerable to us.

I think they are afraid of us. Hence the draconian measures.

But I do think they are less afraid (or more motivated) to use measures that in the past they would have been thumped back for trying on.

And one thing that governments have learned in the last couple of decades is that, if they just stay the course and don’t give in to the pressure, the resistance to their policies dissolves quite quickly.

In that respect, the Iraq war was a real killer for democracy and government accountability. They clearly lied to us, clearly had the blood of millions on their hands, clearly did it against the wishes of the population and the consequences? Crickets.

Massive death is what they are counting on – they don’t want 7 billion ‘useless eaters’, now that AI and robotic manufacturing have arrived. 700 million are much easier to control, while still maintaining the standard of living that the elite have become accustomed to. They’ll be a huge upheaval while this happens, but they’ll have factored that in.

Throughout history that is the way life has been, a few aristocrat types at the top enjoying life while the vast majority are serfs with no freedom, most people never leaving the town or village in which they were born, existing solely to work and reproduce. The last 100 years with freedom and prosperity for the masses were just a blip and we are now reverting to the norm.

Nothing human is eternal, but it is worth bearing in mind that there is a fundamental difference to the world of today, that was never the case in the past – the possibility create by technological advance of a global elite and a global authority.

Most tyrannies in the past have fallen due to external example, threat or rivalry. You can only impose self-destructive ideological nonsense for so long before you become too weak to resist those external rivalries and the internal pressures they create.

This is where globalism is so profoundly dangerous for humanity.

Over time unequal State systems fail through rent-seeking, with coercion replacing reciprocation to keep the insider favours going.

The demands of the “elite” grow faster the more parasitism they get away with, until they start scrapping amongst themselves, then it does fall apart quickly.

The apparent inability of vaccination to end the pandemic as claimed by the authorities is also being noticed in other nations; Gibraltar, Scotland, Seychelles and India are several such examples. HART has always been concerned about the “vaccine saviour” narrative and calls to “believe” in vaccination — when life or death decisions are being made, it is imperative that we rely on a robust evidential base and reject quack science.
Whether or not the vaccine reduces the severity of disease remains an open question, although Israel has concerns that this is also waning. If that is the sole benefit of the vaccines which has survived transition from the clinical trial scenario to the real world, any discrimination or coercion of any form aimed at those who choose not to be vaccinated is completely unsustainable.

ADE, maybe? At first there was a source saying viral titres were higher in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated, but it got pulled sharpish.

ADE was always a risk if neutralising antibody titres waned, especially if they go faster than non neutralising ones. And if they’re dropping off with Pfizer fastest, you’d soon be seeing it in Israel and then the US.

Do you think the medium term side effects are starting to show up?

Constant micro-clotting would start to have an effect, I’m seeing that in someone I know who reacted badly to the jabs.

I’m still baffled as to what they mean by “a vaccine which works mainly in the circulatory system”.

It conjures images of brave little vaccine tin soldiers standing guard duty at specific points in our body. Vaccines do not “work” like that. They train our adaptive immune systems to do a better job, is all, and this is the first I’ve heard of some sort of localised response.

Is there a guide to explain to this idiot how localised immunity works?

Yes they’re different parts of the immune system so you can catch COVID and cough it to others with the jabs, but it will be localised to the lungs (probably the worst place !) those who get COVID and recover will be protected by recognising any of the viral fragments anywhere in the body, especially the lungs etc.

Probably why the jabbed are getting it 40 times more often than those who caught COVID and recovered.

yes, my limited understanding is that the virus and the disease (caused by the bodies reaction to the virus) are two different things, anti-bodies in the blood do not help fight the disease and are in the wrong place to neutralise the virus and deal with infected cells

and my very limited understanding of an article on the topic in Nature suggests that the blood based and mucous membrane based systems do not act in isolation but share the response to an invading pathogen and interchange information about it, which to be honest I would expect since pretty much all airborne viruses must first of all be captured in the mucous linings of the mouth, nose, respiratory tract and eyes.

I think that’s true (and I respect the HART information). The main way in to us for the viruses under consideration is via the cells in our respiratory tract, which have the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) protein on their surface. Not much chance of it breaking in to our skin elsewhere, though.

Fake “Conservative” illiberal scum.

With the likes of Gove, Shapps and Raab in the party hierarchy, and a blancmange like Johnson in charge, how can anyone viewing himself as in any meaningful way conservative ever vote for this party again?

These are not policies anyone with conservative attitudes would consider for a moment. They are radical, extremist authoritarian and unprecedented, implemented by globalists in thrall to all the tropes of the modern global elite.

Get them out, along with their Labour equivalents, or face the grim reality of the “new world order”. A world with no “outside” to escape to or to give an example of how things were done better, no dissent outside the permitted bounds. The foretold “boot stamping on a human face, forever”.

But on to more serious things: The voting system is simply the illusion of choice. Very rarely do we get an actual choice, like when the US got to vote for Trump, or the UK got to vote for Brexit. Despite their posturing, most parties have the exact same agenda. You cannot change the choice you get when voting by just voting anymore than you can fight fire with fire.

Whenever a politician comes up with a great idea you really have to tie them down to success criteria (whether it was worth doing) and failure criteria (whether they made things worse), with really firm metrics. If you don’t get this out of them then they’ll keep changing the rules as they go along to make themselves look better.

In the case of coronavirus and the vaccines these might include:

  • The proportion of cases avoided that justify vaccine passports. Maybe this might be 50%, say (the WHO definition of a vaccine that’s worth having). So, if vaccine protection falls under their threshold then they should say ‘we were wrong and should cancel the passport policy’.
  • Another metric might be ‘severe vaccine side effects’. This would have to be measured properly (eg, hospitalisation data), not using a voluntary system that’ll miss most events, particularly those there there is a delay of months after vaccination. So, maybe a threshold of 1:5,000 for severe effects.

etc etc.

You have to force them to do this at the start, otherwise they’ll change the rules as they go along (eg, shift from vaccine protection from infection to protection against <whatever aspect still works>) or make sure that they don’t measure things that might be inconvenient (eg, make sure only useless side effect tracking systems are made available, and don’t encourage their use even then).

We’re now in the worst possible situation, having politicians that can pick and choose the rules as they go along to make it look as though their policies are successful.

it just strikes me as odd, the bizarre confidence they have in novel vaccines with no long term safety data*

the variants will change, the effect of the vaccines will change

what we know about the vaccines has changed from 98% efficacy and 100% safe (Sridhar) to age restricted, side effects and now they apparently don’t stop infection or transmission (Fauci). first it was for the hyper-vulnerable, now its coercing pregnant women

never had a coronavirus vaccine before – now we have about 15

never had an mRNA vaccine licensed before

I think mass vaccination with a novel vaccine is morally wrong – even if they dodge the bullet this time

time will tell. I feel like going to sleep for 6 months and seeing what the world looks like when I wake up

Lies from beginning to end. Nowhere near 90% of the population has been jabbed, just over 50% according to our world in data have been double jabbed. It’s a total fabrication to push the vaxx. Even if you do get the vaccine you are not ‘free’ to travel in any sense of that word, you are still reliant on being granted that freedom by the whim of the Government. The more I hear of these desperate pronouncements, the more convinced I am that they are losing their grip.

I’m vaxxed so, not a personal issue, and not traveling outside the borders till I can be sure if I won’t get stuck at The Travelodge for 2 weeks. But a year from now, when my son turns 18? Will he have to get jabbed despite having already had the dreaded disease?

As a doctor you really need to keep up. Check the CDC latest comments. If you had a Pfizer jab they will be insisting on booster within 6 months, if not before. The fall-off of anti-bodies is causing break-out infections, ie ADE. At the moment Delta is milder than Wuhan etc, but with ADE a strain can easily become far more virulent.
There will be requirement now for ever ( not 2 years) , its baked in, they have given too many a leaky vaccine for it to stop.

If Covid were genuinely a deadly disease to the majority of the population with a very high fatality rate of say 50% or more for the fit and heathy then all these restrictions, jabs, boosters etc would be justified – but for a virus which more 99% of suffers will make a full recovery from and by and large only kills very old people or people who ill anyway all the restrictions and forced experimental medical producers are just ludicrous. Not to mention the cost of of the lockdowns, jabs and damage done to people’s mental health and businesses etc. Why on earth are the majority of the population not yet questioning or resisting all this?

The old trick… They won’t force you to vaccinate… you’ll “only” need it if you want to go to a sports game… or a concert… or travel… or to the restaurant… or to the pub… or to the supermarket… or in the park… or leave your house. Everyone delivers these days, you don’t have to leave your house if you don’t want the vaccine, so it’s all perfectly voluntary and no one is forcing you to do anything. Except private companies.

Something doesn’t add up.

If there is little vaccine hesitancy in the UK as Shapps says, then why have we just had a barrage of ministers coming out threatening those who don’t get vaccinated:

Gove – those who don’t vaccinate are selfish
Raab – you’ll need a jab to go to uni
Shapps – you’ll never travel again if you are unvaccinated

There isn’t a credible epidemic model in the world in which an epidemic doesn’t disappear with 90% of the population immune. It’s just impossible for a virus to spread where 90% of the population is immune. You don’t need any more.

There are many questions which need to be asked of these psychopathic government officials which will the major media companies will never ask.

Now then, now then, guys and gals, in May, The Rona was 24th in the Cause of Death chart. Sadly, it won’t be on Top Of The Pops this week, as it has slipped again:

Coronavirus (COVID-19) was the 26th leading cause of death in June 2021 in England (accounting for 0.9% of all deaths registered in June); in Wales, COVID-19 accounted for 0.1% of all deaths so the numbers were too small to reliably rank against other leading causes of death.

The problem I have with (2) is principally two-fold:

2 – They had several chances to move on, under cover of vaccinating the vulnerable – “excess” deaths dropped and they could have said we don’t need to test everyone now. They doubled down.

I know. Those are good arguments.

BUT, there is also the dynamic that got us here in the first place which is the fear and hysteria whipped up by the media thereby putting irresistable pressure on governments to take extreme lockdown measures.

The dynamic continues. Anything that governments try to do to relax things is met with a barrage of hysterical doomsayers. Any positive results is ignored (Florida, Sweden) and any whiff of a negative impact (“cases” rising) and officials know they will be accused of having blood on their hands.

i guess it boils down to whether that dynamic is a natural one or an orchestrated one.

Why are so many nations ‘building back better’?
Why did they change the definition of the word ‘cases’ just for covid?
Why did they change the definition of the phrase ‘herd immunity’ just for covid?
Why did they change the definition of the word ‘vaccine’ just for covid?
Why was covid vaccine technology passed to Ralph Baric’s team before the supposed pandemic had begun?
These and many other questions point at co-ordination, though I’m sure incompetence, ignorance and arse-covering play a significant role. . .

Gosh Stewart, yes, I’ve had identical thoughts since the beginning. Things just didn’t add up right from the start (vaccines were the only way out?, “new normal” introduced into the popular vernacular immediately, extreme censorship of any reasonable and scientific dissenting opinion). Bojo and the cabinet fucked up mid March and dug deeper to cover tracks.

For me, tt started with (2) but now has clearly morphed into (1) as someone else has mentioned. The unexpected and overwhelming willingness of UK citizens to submit, bow down and accept the dogma must have been a surprise, and now it’s a power grab for total control.

Multiple precedents have been set, no political opposition and all targets are now attainable. Power, control, climate, digital ids, tracking, fitness and health.

But for my kids, I’ll never give up this fight. It’s going to get very messy!

It’s number 1.

Number 2 would imply that our leaders were of such low intellectual capability we would have to define a whole new category of idiot.

Surely like all things in life there are those who can figure out a work around?

I of course would not advocate doing so or even do it myself (cough) but given the mediocrity of the people running these schemes then fake vax passports or corrupt GPs willing to amend your medical records won’t be hard to find soon will they?

I’m sure it was possible to get in and out of the Warsaw ghetto if one really applied oneself.

From the point of view of travel it’ll be fucked if you do, fucked it you don’t. Simultaneously it’ll be:

To the unstabbed: “Sorry, you can’t travel as you haven’t had the latest booster”.

To the stabbed: “Sorry, you can’t travel as you haven’t had the latest booster and your credit score is too low”.

It’s certainly possible to make a case for “COVID vaccination”, just not the present one, which is essentially the same as for face masks: We don’t really now what – if anything – this is good for. But because it could be good for something, everybody must be forced to do it. And because outright use of force is something we cannot do, we’ll just have the state terrorise everyone until he complies.

This is actually a case against vaccination: Use of bad means fouls any end they’re supposed to achieve. It’s dishonourable. And dishonourable people can’t be trusted.

“1. The “vaccines” don’t prevent infection.
2. The “vaccines” don’t stop you passing it to others.
3. The “vaccines” don’t stop you from dying.
Not much of a vaccine is it?”

It’s crystal clear now, that the ‘jab’ is your indoctrination into The New Society. It gets your name on The Register for your ‘Vaccination Passport’.
It’s like being ‘baptised’ in church, but here the Holy Water has to be injected into you instead of sprinkled on your bonce.

I think Boris & pals missed out on a trick here – they could also have said that the virus hides under your foreskin, and all me would have to be circumcised to ‘stay clean’ and ‘protect others’.

If you ever thought this was to contain a deadly disease – God help you.
1920’s Germany has arrived and we’ve got a long way to go.
For governments it is about control of populations, carbon credits, digital currency, terrorism ( why no terrorist attacks of late – they must all be in lockdown lol ) etc.
For big pharma it’s about money and being able to literally, bury their mistakes passed and present. No control groups left you see.
We’ve got the whole state machinery and most of the MSM against us but we have right on our side.
Hopefully the tide will turn especially when the sheep see that the “vaccines” are at best useless and at worst provide opportunity for more mutations not to mention ADE.
It may be interesting to see how they spin that one…..but then again, just too many unthinking sheep watching their big screen tv’s and polishing their shiny new 4×4’s bought on tick whilst dreaming of their next foreign holiday.

How long for this odious little creep (and his chums) to get it through his thick skull that all the jab is supposed to do is REDUCE SYMPTOMS?

That is apart from all the deaths and injuries it is already causing. On the Gov’t Yellow Card scheme 1,490 deaths already and 1,082,942 injuries. Worse still on the government’s own reckoning only 10% of averse events are reported, while independent experts say far less. So this jab is a killer and those behind it are – guess what ….

No virus, no pandemic. It is the final takeover of society by the real controllers (Jesuits) of the world who have been working towards total world control and world government for centuries.
UN, WEF et al are conduits in the process to enslave mankind into a digital dystopia, where you will need digital ID and eventually the Mark of the Beast to buy and sell.

One of the many tragedies of this is that one of the subplots is Gove going for Johnson. I reckon he thinks Johnson is ripe for taking on. Raab and Shapps are his allies.

So first Gove came out calling the unvaxed selfish, then Raab threatening the students and now Shapps threatening with no holidays.

Johnson is weak and doesn’t want to come out a as a hard core lockdownista because it undermines much of his political appeal. But he doesn’t want to come out as a freedom lover because he knows they’ll lay any bad corona news at his feet and call him reckless.

Gove, Raab and Shapps are taking swings at Johnson. The unvaxed are just pawns in this hideous little political game.

The subplot all along has been to take every opportunity to reduce the appeal of Johnson at each point where he, as a ‘populist’ leader might appear to be delivering on his promises. The only politician that these people are afraid of its one who can go over them to appeal directly to the public. As a result, they have been trying to undermine him since day 1. After every victory he is forced to backtrack and look stupid by the propaganda machine led by the compliant media. However, we are probably close to a denouement. (Watch how crazy things are getting with the White House and the CDC now to realise that this is bigger than just the UK.) Gove is a totalitarian and part of a group – including Cummings – who saw Johnson as a means to an end – achieving power. Now they are seeking to use emergency powers to create a totalitarian control system that they will then take control of themselves. It probably doesn’t stop at Gove – there are more sinister operators in the background I am sure, but we won’t get to see them. Johnson might have to go nuclear and destroy Gove to save himself (and us) from tragedy.

I see this more as a Libya type situation. Amid a situation of growing chaos opportunists in the right place at the right time are stepping in and chancing it to see what power they can get their hands on.

Pharma companies, tech companies, “scientists”, oligarchs, politicians.

As happens in situations of chaos, the people who bubble up to the top are the most ruthless and vicious.

Why would I get vaccinated to get a piece of paper I’m not prepared to show to get access to any service/country? I must not understand how this incentive is suppose to work.

I don’t think these announcements are a surprise and to an extent they just reflect the reality of other countries’ restrictions on entry.

Eventually the restrictions will end, certainly in two years, since by then Covid will be even more of a nothingburger than it is now.

The real danger is that this episode normalises this level of control on individuals.

Even though the vaxxed are losing immunity within six weeks. Even though the vaxxed are getting infected, going into hospital and dying. What exactly does the ownership of a vaccine passport mean? It now means you took the experimental biological, your immunity is waning or waned and you are at risk of becoming infected with COVID, transmitting it, going into hospital and dying.

I think I will take a pass.

What is really behind this? It is nothing to do with health because, for example, Sajid Javid had two jabs and came down with it, 100 crew on the HMS Elizabeth came down with it and all were double jabbed. It is noteable that the Government are not releasing figures on how many in hospital are not jabbed therefore it is certain that almost all, if not all, cases are double jabbed.
So what is the panic and obvious desperation really about? We know it is a man made virus, created with the USA’s assistance in Wuhan. What do Governments know about it?

First rule of the Hypocratic Oath is “Firstly do no harm”. Thousands have died from these vaccines. Hundreds have been blinded. They will never be tested, never be licenced because there is no longer a control group. Those foolish enough to take them had better hope to everything they can think of that the Science got it right. The track record of Coronavirus vaccines makes grim reading however since in every trial since 2002 the animals all died or were immensely ill after being exposed to the virus. Who knows what else these hideous monstrosities do in the long term? Literally nobody.

So grant Shapps thinks it’s only people in their twenties who want to travel?

What about us jab-free oldies?

What about people who have been double jabbed outside the UK – they are not allowed to enter from an ‘Amber’ country unless they book the two covid tests.

Covid passports including top-ups seem to be on the way.

I will NOT have this experimental crap injected into me.

Please note I am 66 and have alot of travelling left to do.

I am lucky in that I can afford to do the quarantine in other countries, many people are not.thus they will be co-erced into having these blasted things.
