Vaccine Passports, Mask Mandates and Another Lockdown All on the Cards If Covid Infections Don’t Stay Low This Winter

by Michael Curzon
14 September 2021 4:32 PM

Just days after it led the public into believing that plans for vaccine passports were off the table, the Government has announced that they will be introduced – along with mask mandates and potentially another full lockdown – if booster jabs and vaccines for healthy teenagers fail to keep Covid infections down this winter. Laying out its new plans, the Government said it is “committed to taking whatever action is necessary to protect the NHS”. MailOnline has the story.

Fronting a press conference alongside Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance, the Prime Minister insisted that the U.K. was “incomparably” better placed to deal with the disease this year.

He said he hoped the situation could be kept stable with more jabs and the public behaving sensibly – although ministers have made clear another lockdown cannot be completely ruled out.

Professor Whitty gave a more downbeat assessment saying that infections were “high” relative to last year, and the NHS was under “extreme pressure” even though vaccines were helping significantly.

Meanwhile, Sir Patrick seemed to send a thinly-veiled message to Mr. Johnson by saying that when it comes to measures to stem cases the lesson was “you have to go earlier than you want to, you have to go harder than you want to”. …

Earlier, Sajid Javid was heckled by Tories admitting that ministers can only give Britons the “best possible chance” of avoiding brutal curbs.

In a statement to MPs, he stressed that vaccines can help “build defences’ against the disease, with boosters for the over-50s and jabs for under-16s starting next week.

But Mr Javid was hit with howls of rage from Conservatives in the Commons as he said the blueprint includes the ‘Plan B’ of making masks compulsory “in certain settings”, more working from home and social distancing if the NHS is under threat.

Vaccine passports will be kept “in reserve” and could be introduced in England with a week’s notice, even though they will not go ahead from next month as originally intended. …

The Winter Plan document lays out the details of ‘Plan A’ and ‘Plan B’. But although it does not go into detail about other contingencies, it states that further steps cannot be ruled out.

“While the Government expects that, with strong engagement from the public and businesses, these contingency measures should be sufficient to reverse a resurgence in autumn or winter, the nature of the virus means it is not possible to give guarantees,” the document says.

“The Government remains committed to taking whatever action is necessary to protect the NHS from being overwhelmed but more harmful economic and social restrictions would only be considered as a last resort.”

Worth reading in full.

Their hold based on an almost comatose compliance is slipping away and they know it .In discussions with colleagues i ask them, did you go to the football,the pub ,the cinema,the nihtclub,??? Yes they replied and
Are you ok i asked ,yes they replied ,Will you keep on doing it now you can ,yes they replied .Will you stop in an instant because the government have tried to tell you covid is many many many many more time serious than it actually is ,Not a fucking chance they replied .This will be the change .last year it was believable and served what we thought was the common good .A year later with almost everyone we ever knew still alive ,the risk is evident to all but a few bed wetters who were always afraid of sore throats anyway .Check your experience of Covid not the one you are being told to believe .Only the peple can end this .There are a million levels of compliance needed for this shit show to work .All most of have to do is shake your ow little part of the tree to make soemthing fall out of it.Soon it will become a barren trunk and forgitten about or at best ignored

We have to do our bit. But this could take years, if not decades, unless some LEADERS pop up and direct our wrath towards change. Too many people in power positions will cover up their mess or deny it altogether. There has to be a popular revolt or this is permanent.

I really wish I could share your optimism – however much I might agree with every sentiment of it – but the brainwashing over a period of almost 19 months now, and which shows no sign of letting up, has just been FAR too effective and successful precisely because the sceptic angle never got a chance to be put to people in the early stages. Everyone I speak to around me is TERRIFIED of covid and believe that it shows no signs of letting up and are worrying about the death figures and the hospitals full of unvaccinated people with covid etc etc I do try, even very weakly (gently does it after all), to put the counterpoint, but if they knew what I really thought of it all (a massive scam on the whole UK population and I could present them with the evidence for that) they would recoil and never speak to me again. We cannot do it on our own in the face of a daily media bombardment of propaganda, and sadly, despite its best efforts, and I applaud them for it, GB news on its own isn’t going to achieve that either. We need a mainstream media outlet to start telling it like it is and we need a regular political presence to also do likewise – possibly Reform UK?

And lied and lied ..and lied; and then they caused their “Precioussssss” NHS to be slaughtered by not mandating early treatments to prevent NHS overload whilst sending legions back to Care Homes w/out any treatment – Hancock guilty as charged – inadequate PPP; Result – people ill with virus had no prophylactic treatments – as in US and elsewhere – affected people get sicker and last resort treatment is in the very setting these truly evil politicians say they want to protect.

More clear than ever that Whitty/Vallance etc are as guilty as Johnson & Co – the are not intellectually thick but they are the personification of the worst kind of appeasers last seen in the 1930’s – and how many millions of people died in WWII as a result?

QUOTE:-   I live in the NHS I am a citizen of the NHS.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a late friend about 7 Years ago. He was then in his 80’s and having felt it advisable to have a check up at his GP practice where he was subjected to a process that implied that the NHS actually owned his body! His words to me were “They’re coming to get us, watch out! ” How true those words turned out to be.

My feeling is that the NHS has past its day and is THE PROBLEM. The NHS should be reformulated as a free National Emergency Service. The other functions like elective surgery and non critical interventions should be “Pay as you Can” – OK, Means Tested. Before you jump on me for mentioning Means Testing may I make the point that at present we are expected to pay up to out total estate to reside in a care facility for our final years, so why not pay some of our wealth to improve our well being while we can still enjoy some freedoms? After all what’s more important – your wellbeing or a 30K SUV parked in the driveway? 

An advantage of such a personally funded system may be the decoupling of Big Pharma from a State Behemoth, having to sell on a more individual basis may force them to reconsider there price structures? Bureaucrats just pay up whereas I / We think / research it.

Considering they are directly manipulating the numbers through policies, and the fact that there doesn’t seem to be any discernible difference between covid and the flu, sounds to me like they will try and to all they can to convince the public that we need vaccine passports.

Correct – the latest ZOE symptom checker suggests the current “variant of covid” is all but indistinguishable from the Virus Previously Known as The Common Cold.

It’s an absolute travesty that MPs just roll over and accept this nonsense trotted out by ministers and their supposed experts.

No doubt they have some incredibly accurate modelling to back up their policies though.

You are the first person who has not shied away for saying that Covid is similar to flu .In th begining there was absolute outrage for suggesting such a thing even though there was no such thing as a covidometer to measure the difference .As it turned out it was very much like the flu and very much like the flu i have just shaken off .I was tested for covid twice ,i ll say they tried damn hard to pin it on me but no, it was flu .Apparently this bug has been around forever and didnt simply just disapper from the earth last year .My own thoughst were that this viscious fucker of a flu bug is in fact worse that covid and given that, they could suddenly give it the attention it has sorely yearned for these last 50,000 years aand make us all stay in now that this isnt just flu (said in M&S sexy food ad voice)this is multi variant triple fatal inter stellar flu so you all better stay in again .For fucks sake in the words of that awful Grange Hill song JUST SAY NO

It ain’t quite the flu, because it is man made, or man adapted, at the expense of US tax payers, to have some especially vicious qualities. Dr Kendrick says deaths he has seen form Covid are unlike any he has seen before. I’m sure he is right.
But for most it’s flu or much less of course.

Me too. He doesn’t go way beyond the data.
It is true that blood disorders appear much more common with “covid19” than with influenza. That’s thought to be wholly down to the superficial spike protein.
in terms of infection fatality ratio, I think it’s fair to say that the original SARS-CoV-2 WAS worse than a typical seasonal flu.
But as we’ve seen before, the slow mutational drift in SARS-CoV-2 favours its survival, which implies greater transmissibility yet REDUCED lethality.
The most recent estimates of IFR of the delta variant is pretty much superimposed in the flu IFR at around 0.1%.
As with flu, the VAST majority of those unfortunate enough to die as a result of infection by flu are elderly & already chronically ill.
The MAJOR positive which can be laid against SARS-CoV-2 is that it does NOT harm let alone kill children.
People seem to have forgotten (if they ever knew it) that flu, while also heavily biased to lethality in those close to the ends of their lives, does injure & kill a small but tragically distinct number of previously healthy YOUNG people.
i recall last year looking at causes of death by age band & being shocked at how many school aged children perish weekly in the winter of “ILI” (influenza-like illness).

I can’t believe how many people still seem to have complete confidence in Govt & their advisors.

Could that be because the chimerically made “virus” has been GoF modified to include a spike protein – that induces the inflammation that ultimately kills – never seen before – isn’t that what Dr K is driving at – a genetically modified SARS variant – deliberately so made and made possible by US tax dollar funded “research” contracted out to China.The crime of any century.

In October 2019 before the last general election a political commentator asked voters to speak to someone who works in the NHS and ask them these following questions which all have links proving the facts ……

Ask them how they think the £20 billion in NHS cuts between 2010 and 2015 affected the quality of care the NHS could offer, and how another £22 billion in NHS cuts is affecting the quality of care the NHS can offer now.

Ask them how they feel about the way the Tories introduced new rules to make it much easier for them to force the closure of NHS services without taking the views of local people or staff into consideration.

Ask them whether waiting list times and record waiting times at A&E departments have been rising, and whether they agree with the Tory policy of simply scrapping any waiting list targets that are being missed and scrapping the four hour A&E target instead of actually doing anything to address the dreadful problems they’ve created.

Ask them whether they think Theresa May’s decision to scrap NHS bursaries had anything to do with the 31% decline in applications for nursing courses, and the shortfall of an astounding 70,000 nurses in the NHS, and whether they think the NHS recruitment crisis will get even worse as the supply of new nurses slumps dramatically as fewer and fewer new nurses enter the system.

Ask them about NHS privatisation and how ever more NHS services being carved up and given away to profiteering private sector health companies like Serco, Virgin Health and (the major Tory party donors) Circle, reaching an all-time record of £9.2 billion worth of NHS privatisation in 2018.

Ask them how they feel about the years of below inflation pay rises for NHS staff whilst MPs bagged a whopping great 10% pay rise for themselves.

Ask them how they feel about the Tories’ £4.6 billion cut in the social care budget, and what kind of effect that is having on the already overstretched hospitals that are having to pick up the pieces.

Ask them whether the junior doctors were treated fairly and with respect during their confrontation with then-Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.

Ask them whether Jeremy Hunt’s comments that people should just Google their health symptoms instead of seeking medical advice was a risk to public health.

Ask them whether they share Theresa May’s view that Jeremy Hunt was “an excellent health secretary”.

Ask them if they actually know anyone working in the NHS who has confidence in the pompous liar that Boris Johnson has put in charge now (Matt Hancock).

Ask them about the £3 billion wasted on the massive 2012 top down reorganisation of the NHS that the Tories repeatedly promised not to do before they sneaked back into power in 2010.

Ask them how they feel about the scores of A&E units, maternity wards, mental health facilities and NHS walk in centres that have been shut down by the Tories since 2010, and whether these closures have markedly increased demand elsewhere in the NHS.

Ask them about the secret plans the Tories drew up to close even more A&E units, maternity wards and walk in centres.

Ask them if their own primary care trust is in deficit.

Ask them how they feel about the Tories going on about how much they care about mental health issues as they simultaneously slash the mental health budget and instruct their outsourcing contractors to specifically discriminate against people with mental health conditions.

Ask them if they know any EU citizens who work in the NHS and whether they have left, or are thinking of leaving because of the threat of a ruinous Tory hard Brexit.

Ask them whether the 92% decline in the number of NHS nurses arriving from EU countries is likely to exacerbate the NHS recruitment crisis.

Ask them how they feel about the Chairman of Conservative Health saying that the only way the Tories could bring in charging for NHS services is if there was a feeling in the country that the NHS is “falling apart”. and whether the ongoing crisis in the NHS might actually be part of a deliberate Tory strategy to bring the days of universal health care to an end.

Ask them whether they feel that their colleagues are ever more stressed and overworked as they try to cope with increasing demand for services while funding and staffing levels are slashed year after year.

Ask them whether they think the NHS can actually survive if the Tories carry on like this.

Unfortunately, it no longer matters. Such is the distortion of priorities “because COVID” that it would take a lot more than money ever to restore its reputation as a caring & competent institution.

Well Googled. I do not disagree but I don’t see any reference to the Blair governments privatisation of the NHS; I do not see any reference to the wholesale scam of PFI – sure started by the Tories – but ramped into interstellar overdrive by….Blair and Brown. If you are “happy” to fund the PFI contracts too expensive to be bought out and requiring annual debt finding even of they no longer provide “services”, please confirm.

I don’t see any shade of political opinion having a good handle on this – I am no Tory supporter either – they have both been a disaster for not dismantling it and starting again. Throwing more money at this money-pit is never going to work as I suspect you know.

The NHS has been falling apart at the seams for decades; too many services, too few competent managers, management refusing to demand – as they are legally obliged to do – payment by health tourists for their services. In case you are not aware, in times gone by, certain Labour Councils in the UK have backed some NHS Trusts not assiduously chasing this cash. In case you are not aware, some NHS trusts in certain parts of this country are inundated with people from abroad brazenly lying to get treatment here…for free. If you support that please confirm. And just in case you try to use EU Health systems where UK citizens routinely got treated whilst abroad as some kind of example how to run a health service – I had to pay towards my care in incident 1 and on another occasion, different country, the only care provider refused to treat under EHIC convention – why? because UK NHS/DWP admin took a very long time to pay up – get the drift?

Who opened the door to clinician immigration?

I can add other “eg’s” – how about nurse training – now you need a degree and are so well qualified that as soon as you get on the ward to do “Nursing” it is not unknown for Regs/SR/Cons level clinicians to have to do what was done formerly by …nurses because they did little actual nursing training. Midwives similar.

Not all Tory or Labour cockups, but they have ducked this for far far too long – well the time is coming very fast when it cannot be ducked any longer. No one will dissuade me me that Johnson and Co have screwed up so badly with SARS COV 2 that they have massacred the NHS – my experience is not yours nor RickH. Bur I think we can agree it is not fit for purpose anymore.

Medics and clinicians who do the hard yards are not – generally – included in the above description by my experience to date.

I am no fan of Blair and he did bring in the dreaded PFI’s.
However, New Labour (which I am also not a fan of) to their credit actually increased the funding of the NHS until the Tories came in again to dismantle it.
Health tourism is always going to be a problem until measures are taken for full reimbursement.
Nurses requiring a degree was a Labour decision implemented by the Tories.
Medical professionals and health staff in general are normally overworked and underpaid which is in part due to underfunding.
My wife of 38 years has been nursing for 45 years and is still a nurse and has seen the devastation caused by governments and the overblown hype around Covid which is nowhere near as bad as the powers that be are telling us. We also both have doubts about vaccinations.
I am disappointed that medics within the NHS have not been more vocal in their scepticism and of the treatment given to Covid patients. Most are brainwashed and those that aren’t are scared of being sacked.
Extra funding, less managers and patients paying for some treatments to weed out the hypochondriacs and time wasters would be a start.

The Uk spends as much on health, private and NHS as Germany and France. If we spent more on private and less on the NHS our health care would be immeasurably better.

“Funding for healthcare is lower in the UK compared to many other high-income countries, at 10.3 per cent of GDP compared to 11.2 per cent in France, and 11.7 per cent in Germany.

In the UK we have three doctors for every 1,000 people, compared to three in France and four in Germany. We have seven nurses for every 1,000 people, in comparison to Germany’s 13 and Frances’s 10. In terms of hospital beds, we have two per 1,000 people compared to five in France and eight in Germany. We also have fewer diagnostic tools such as MRI and CT scanners.

As a result, in combination with poor welfare spending generally, the health of the UK lags behind that of many other wealthy nations and inequalities persist in key areas including life expectancy, cancer survival, and cardiovascular disease.”

You are only talking about the NHS. The total health spend in the UK private and NHS is the same per capita as France and Germany. And there is literally no point in referencing the Independent, I wouldn’t use it to clear up my dogs’ sick.

HAHAHAHAHAHA – the Lancet – is that the same organ that published the letter from a group of scientists who were lined up by Daszak/Farrar/Fauci & co and attempted to trash the theory that SARS COV 2 leaked form the WIV? Is that the same group of scientists 27 of whom have been skewered for their links to ….the WIV? What is the thrust of the US Intelligence Services now ( and they DO know because they are implicated in the GoF “Research”)

Saying the NHS is “underfunded” is straight out of the “Meaningless Mantras For Dummies” playbook and the exact same kind of rubbish as Johnson et al saying they are protecting the NHS ( after damn near destroying it in 2021/21 and, in all but name, broken the will and spirit hordes of NHS clinicians such that they are retiring/leaving in very significant numbers thus putting even more strain on a broken system ).
Try again.

Another belly laugh, thanks; the State Pension is, never has been and never ever will be “funded”.

Politicians of all disaster parties have created a crutch for people instead of encouraging “self reliance” – ergo, it becomes a “drug” and the people are addicts. Weaning them onto taking personal responsibility for their health through diet/exercise etc might leave the “NHS” to treat the unforeseen illnesses life throws up. The ever expanding suite of treatments was never envisaged in 1946, and C. Northcote Parkinson was right about the inevitability of an entity ever expanding, this time to create a demand that can never be paid for – long overdue massive reorganisation needed along European public/private ( “mutuel” if you like ) lines.

Yes that’s right – European health care systems are public private partnerships serving 500m people and are – in my twice times personal experience – better equipped, better staffed but still I had to pay for elements of my treatment only partially recouped. If it works over the channel it will work here – and it will be less of a political football than it is now to no one’s interest.

Deaths (Covid) are 10 times higher this August than last August. Ergo, this winter is going to be horrendous. The double vaccinated will be monstered by Antibody Dependent Enhancement (they already are, hence 10 times the death rate) and many other vaccinated people will be hit by blood clot problems – up to and including death. On top of these horrors we have an NHS operating well below capacity due to staff suffering from adverse vaccine side effects coupled with the resignations of thousands who refuse the vaccine.

We are therefore guaranteed an absolute tsunami sized overwhelming of the NHS, which effectively means a guaranteed lockdown, guaranteed V-passports and guaranteed war against the untermenschen unvaxxed as we will be held responsible for the government manufactured catastrophes. Just as the New World Order planned…..

“Deaths (Covid) are 10 times higher this August than last August.”

There will, undoubtedly, be fictions like this perpetrated … which would replace other causes of mortality to an absurd extent in a year when the actual August all-cause variance is +1 to +2% – i.e quite normal (but giving no confidence in vaccine efficacy).

The current excess death for those aged 45-65 years is about 5 standard deviations above normal for August. Most ages see a similar level of excess death, other than those under 16.

However, deaths from covid account for about 1 standard deviation of these. There is something else increasing the death rate in the country at the moment.

  • According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you’re not counted as fully vaccinated until a full 14 days have passed since your second injection in the case of Pfizer or Moderna, or 14 days after your first dose of Janssen, despite the fact that over 80% of deaths after the vaccines occur in this window. How convenient
  • Anyone who dies within the first 14 days post-injection is counted as an unvaccinated death. Not only does this inaccurately inflate the unvaccinated death toll, but it also hides the real dangers of the COVID shots, as the vast majority of deaths from these shots occur within the first two weeks
  • The CDC also has two different sets of testing guidelines — one for vaccinated patients and another for the unvaccinated. If you’re unvaccinated, CDC guidance says to use a cycle threshold (CT) of 40, known to result in false positives. If you’re vaccinated, they recommend using a CT of 28 or less, which minimizes the risk of false positives
  • The CDC also hides vaccine failures and props up the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” narrative by only counting breakthrough cases that result in hospitalization or death
  • Hospitals are still also reporting non-COVID related illnesses as COVID-19

Precisely the main point. They told us vaccinating the most at risk was the way out of the pandemic, not into a new or worse version of it which this winter will be. But then Zahawi knew vaccinating would cause variants to emerge and they would rake it in creating new vaccines. So much for The Science.

Complete pantomime. We are governed by these clowns? It is becoming almost embarrassing.

As to the NHS being underfunded, if there are around 1.4 million employees, that means something like 1 in 46 of the population work for it. So 20 for every thousand, roughly speaking. Underfunding is not the problem. If anything it is vastly over resourced, and still the organisation makes a f@%king pigs ear of everything it touches. It is a vehicle for management careers, not for treating sick people.

And to add insult to injury can’t any of these charlatans see the graphs going skywards following the jabfests?

The NHS is under-funded by any relevant comparison. Whether it could improve efficiency is another matter, but a major reason for the shit-show and the ‘Protect the NHS’ nonsense is a political drive to divert attention from a trail of political mistakes in the resourcing of the NHS leading to a shortage of provision.

But if anyone thinks private provision provides any model of efficiency and economy, they really need to get out more.

Sorry – but a downvote with no argument is just proof of having no argument.

I’ve just had an example a prime example of private sector inefficiency – a 20 minute consultation costing £300 for someone desperately needing a diagnosis, and thus forced into the private sector (a hidden government policy, in effect), where the consultant hadn’t even got his head round the notes. I’ve never had that degree of sloppiness in several years of frequent NHS treatment.

The NHS issuing held up as all important but it is the excuse for extremely bad decision making by politicians who have surrounded themselves with agenda driven apparatchiks – SAGE/NERVTAG/modellers and pysop mechanics – whilst refusing to seek truly independent scientific advice based on experience in dealing with epidemic management/vaccines etc – as evidently happened in Sweden and elsewhere.

For reasons I cannot disclose I could fill these pages with incidents of “NHS” malpractice going back decades – it is crippling parts of the NHS unseen by TGBP because “no fault” compensation does not exist.

I concur. Too many managers, insufficient clinical support admins to allow clinicians to do clinical work & layer upon layer of hoops to jump through. I’ve worked in the NHS for 33 years. When I first started a dozen paediatric patients were seen each day in clinic & all notes & admin completed in what was then for me a 33hour week. Six adult outpatients seen in clinic again with admin done & six home visits done per day. Now patients only want to be seen at certain times, don’t like early appointments & with the associated admin hoops to jump through with no clinical admin support, guess what? Number of patients able to be seen in a day for adults is four! Now full time work a 37 hour week yet regularly do 9 hour days just to deal with all the admin!

Javed says – that at 81% – the jabbing programme has been highly successful. Then announces a programme of interventions that they will use – ‘if necessary’ – without stating what criteria would constitute ’necessary’.

Why can’t they be precise? Why leave everyone in limbo? What does such uncertainty do for business – big and small – for education and for peoples’ state of mind.

Weren’t we promised that getting jabbed would lead to a return to normal?

If harsh regulation may be necessary, what was the point of getting jabbed?

Why sow fear into the minds of people?

There is going to be a surge in “infections” when they jab the children because the Pfizer jab depresses the immune system. The booster will wipe any natural immunity the double jabbed have developed, since their immune systems were wiped by the first two jabs. There will need to be a second jab for teenagers and another booster in the spring for the sheeple. And thereafter for everyone for evermore to try and stop the ADE.

The NHS could potentially be overloaded with all the vaccine injuries and not necessarily just Covid.

In August 2021 a pro-vaccine pathologist in Germany who has been vaccinated against Covid himself did 40 autopsies on people who had died within 14 days of the vaccine and found that 30% to 40% died from the vaccine.

Witty is grasping for straws. How about some real news? Schools reopened. Once again, the predicted COVID tsunami didn’t materialize. Massively ramping up testing didn’t kickstart the pandemic again, just a short flare-up of hitherto undetected asymptomatic infections.

Infections have been declining fairly sharply for six days in a row now.The government’s chief Corona whisperer tries to paint this as bleakly as possible while all the usual experts update the date of the predicted apocalypse once again.

None of this is surprising, it is entirely consistent of Kim Jong Johnson to say and do exactly opposite things in a very short space of time.

Despite there being no justification for lockdown, even without the vaccines, he is proposing them anyway after they’ve been administered.

He’s also going to bring back the same old pish that previously had no scientific justification anyway because he can.

That’s what you get when the sunk cost fallacy meets a God complex, as always with cults.
Which is why they can never change their opinion, to the contrary even in particular in light of any contradictory evidence, and why they can and will only end in and through a catastrophe.
As the NHS is always overwhelmed for +/- 9 months of the year, as they openly manipulate all Covid data and criteria and as they have a completely different real agenda, we here all understand what that means and will result in.
Many people seem to be upset and willing to balk at the boosters, but as they mostly also didn’t bat an eyelid when their children were poisoned, I wouldn’t hold my breath that they won’t cave in.
Regardless, and especially if they don’t and opposition increases, the only proper way forward and to deal with any new restrictions is mass civil disobedience.
The German singer Nena nailed it:

Here’s an idea. Befriend a genuine believer who desperately wants the booster and wants it now, but doesn’t qualify. Give him/her your details and get them to present at a jabbattoir as you. Befriend another a few weeks later. Repeat. Congratulations, you are now double-jabbed! Maybe we could set up a dating service to match every sceptic to a bedwetting pincushion.

Of course “infections” won’t stay low this winter. The government controls how many “infections” there are, by means of the false positive rate of the PCR test (more tests = more “cases”), the tuneable nature of this test (more cycles = more “cases”), the lockdown policies (more masks and lockdowns = depressed immune systems = more “cases”) and the vaccine rollout (more vaccinations = more “cases”).

Today I read in German MSM an advice to the school teachers to “not engage” with anti-corona “troublemakers” (i.e. parents) and instead “to call the police if house rules are broken”. The teachers were also warned that if they engage their responses might be uploaded to the Internet (*gasp*). So basically, the new role of a teacher is to shut up and call the cops on people who disagree. Well done, Germany!

The “cheap” comment might be “well they are good at this sort of thing” but the Germans we have met – loads – are as far removed from this Dystopia as it is possible to be – lovely people, generally small ‘c” conservative, educated, literate, hard working, very polite and very animated when you (try to) speak German with them.

At least, their last success was pushing back so-called freedom day by four weeks. This means their predictions of imminent doom have been tested for the first time since they starting making them (for the second, actually, as they already predicted a COVID tsunami which failed to materialize when schools were originally reopened this spring) and so far, and each and every of them turned out to be wrong.

The more often they predict something which fails to happen, the less influential they will become.

Check the ingredients. Oxford Univ may have a website to do this for the approved ones (not those with EUA).

Vaccines have got worse and worse as time goes on, maybe because they have to add proprietary ingredients to maintain their patent protection.

As Mike Yeadon said, the idea that healthy people need a vaccine against respiratory diseases with a low IFR is absurd.

So tell me about Israel again LOL ???? Are we really pretending we are going to have a different outcome?

It’s funny how deaths and cases for the same time of year last year were significantly lower. Is that the ‘vaccine’ working it’s magic???

The Vaccine looks like a complete dud from the data i’m looking at. Unless a 4.5% ARR in over 50’s and 0% in under 50’s is considered a major success these days?

Thanks to the high uptake they are going to struggle to hide this. Of course the double jabbed who pass on the booster will no doubt be classed as unvaccinated to make the unter mensch numbers look worse than they really are.

We all know what’s coming sadly.

So they are going to repeat all the mistakes they made in the past and introduce all the measures that failed to work in the first place – I think it was Einstein who said that insanity was repeating the same mistakes over and over again and expecting a different result.

Correlation between the vaccine rollout and the upsurge in cases, hospitalisations and deaths. The numbers to date are greater post vaccine, yet the answer is more vaccines! You’ll find this correlation in all highly vaccinated countries. For example, Israel, where nearly the entire adult population is vaccinated and proof of vaccination is required to access restaurants and indoor events, now rolling out a 4th round of shots as spread soars to record highs.

So lockdown, social distancing, masks, and the added delicacy of vax passports are on the way, as it is obviously inevitable that numbers of infections and hospitalisations will rise as we go into autumn/winter. Beyond farce into dark, dark waters …

This must be the most authoritarian government in the history of British politics – this is a government that is hooked on control through fear – its a government that took away our freedoms under false pretenses and promised that the measures were temporary – now that promise to return those freedoms come with caveats and underlying threats that they will be confiscated once again whenever they feel the need to do so – this is what the start of tyranny looks like – this is the road to totalitarianism – this is a government that rules by fear this is an evil government.

Whatever they say, it’s usually the opposite which is true. So they say they’re scrapping the vaccine passports…truth is they are preparing to introduce them. They say there will not be another lockdown…truth is another lockdown – or firebreak as they are now calling them – will be introduced at some point over the winter. SAGE are calling for even harder lockdowns. We should all know what the plan is by now – to introduce Digital IDs. On a global scale, this is extremely worrying, we are walking into a digital prison and I thought that 1984 was just a book, it seems it was a warning.

If the NHS can’t cope, maybe use some of that £38 billion from the magic money tree they wasted on Track n’ Trace, to build more hospitals and hire more doctors and nurses. And instead of clapping like a bunch of overexcited seals, actually do something that supports the NHS. I don’t agree with scrapping it – I think that’s the subplot playing out here anyway.

She had no idea about Ivermectin, the average age of death from/with Covid, the IFR or any of the basic stuff she had just been listening to all the guff from MSM etc. Hopefully her eyes are about to be opened.

In my working career as a surgeon most years in the winter months I had operation theatre lists cancelled because of pressure on beds : it will be no different this year for surgeons still working.
As we entered the post Christian era the UK population substituted the NHS God and the religion of NHS worship has failed to see the horrors that it is creating. It is when Governments are able to pronounce to public acclaim that it is the duty of society to suffer to “Protect the NHS” that the absurdity of this fanatical religious cult should be questioned. The cry emerging from some ITU consultants is that they are working to breaking point, when the units are not full but clearly there is a major problem with staffing as any hospital doctor can observe.It is a supply side issue.
It is not silly attempts to do something by pretending that several days old pieces of cloth extracted from a pocket have any part to play in altering transmission, or potentially damaging decisions to vaccinate children that will save the health of this country but stopping discredited guessing machine called epidemiologist such as Ferguson frightening people and removing Public Health doctors from a position of power.
To reduce demand stop creating morbidity by permitting patients with disease to go to a GP and get examined. Make it mandatory that all GPs work from their surgery and ban home working. You cannot exam one a breast lump of determine a referred pain on the phone. If GP’s don’t go to work pay them pro rata.
We should not be clapping the NHS but clapping individuals such as Carl Hennigan,Sunetra Gupta Julia Hartley Brewer etc who have kept alive the hope that there is a hope.

Please, please at least use the correct terminology and stop referring to covid infections. Covid is not an infectious agent it is a disease, which means you have to have symptoms. The infectious pathogen is SARS-CoV-2 which may or may not result in disease.
This conflation of terms is exactly what is being used to continue with the restrictions. If you have a positive test for the virus then you are a covid case, which is absolute nonsense.

How fiendishly clever – ensuring that ‘rates’ will be inflated by flu anyway. The behavioural psychopaths certainly got their act together, didn’t they?

GB News on Twitter: “‘[Boris Johnson] straddles not just the centre, but the centre-right and centre-left. This is a major problem for Keir Starmer.’ Andrew Neil says the Labour Party are ‘running out of a place in the political spectrum.’ https://t.co/rE4MCUA8C7” / Twitter

The b*****d child of tony blair now rules. Not a genuine conversative party. 

Big government = big trouble (as per history of the uk). No interest in addressing the huge public debt and a slave to the monolith nhs. 

Time will tell….

Today my husband, who has cancer was told he could not have a blood test because there are no blood vials. Does anyone else think we have a problem? However, if you would like a dozen or more lateral flow test kits, just walk up to one of the thousand nhs mobile Covid units dotted around the entire country. Plenty of money to waste on that nonsense, and yet not a blood vial to be seen. We are in serious trouble folks, when the flipping nhs cannot provide blood tests as needed. Oh and if you want a flu jab, come straight in. Even though there will be no flu this winter. And once you have had your flu jab and your next Covid booster, things will be so confusing, no one will be able to separate fact from fiction. That should be fun🥰
