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

2 min read

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”.

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.

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.

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?

I guess that Grant Shapps, or Michael Green, or Miguel Verde will still be able to travel as at least one alias will have a fake vaccine passport.

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.

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.

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… Read more »

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.

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 ….

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.

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’.

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.

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”.

Two possibilities:

  1. This is all part of a coordinated plan to increase control over people’s lives.
  2. Governments screwed up from day one and have simply been digging an ever deeper hole with every ill-thought out measure they’ve implemented. They know that if they stop the damage they’ve created will be exposed and widely accepted and they will be crucified for everything they’ve done.

I flip-flop between these two regularly. Sometimes several times in the same day…

The problem I have with (2) is principally two-fold:
1 – They deliberately ramped up fear very early on and have doubled down ever since
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.

Hmm, yes but. . .
Why instigate a test with an unfeasible (and unprecedented) ct value at the beginning (inevitably inflating figures)?
Why change the rules on death registrations especially for covvy (inevitably inflating figures)?
Why no autopsies for a supposedly novel virus?
Why did everybody abandon pandemic planning made over decades all at the same time?
Why was rhetoric from governments and media throughout the world identical?
Why was everybody declaring that things would never be the same again – the ‘new normal’ – right from the start?
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!

Be prepared for all the “but it makes symptoms milder” people who were brainwashed into thinking the virus was nearly always fatal who have no idea that the vast majority of the infected were asymptomatic. The virus has always had mild symptoms in most people before the vaccine, not sure why now we have to credit the vaccine for that.

A reminder of just how deadly a foe we face:

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.

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.
