How anyone can watch that clip of Fauci (stating that the very idea that people who are covid-recovered might have natural immunity that is better than ‘vaccine’ immunity and thus do not need a shot) and not see him for the lying little shit-weasel that he is, is completely beyond me.
Seriously, take your pick: right there he’s either (a) a lying two-faced psychopathic little shit-weasel, or (b) he is the most incompetent shit-weasel ever in the history of incompetent government shit-weasels.
It’s one or the other.
The funniest bit is that he is implying the vaccines last for ages when we know it’s at best six months.
We know natural immunity lasts longer than that. We know people still had antibodies from original SARS 17 years later.
No one seems to be able to answer why these people are so obsessed with jabbing anything in sight.
Well, there are answers offered, the most benign being the putting of profit from the vaccines before the dangers to human life. Many doctors, amongst others, think that is too innocent an explanation given the whole picture.
When, oh when, will someone bump Fauci off? Can we set up a crowdfund for someone to do it?
My blood boils at the sight of these creeps too, knowing what they are doing. But they don’t deserve to be bumped off, they deserve to be put on public display before trial for crimes against humanity and then shuffled into a dark cell for the rest of their miserable lives.
So Johnson won’t rule out Christmas disruption – what a surprise. But then again, with his record over the past 18 months nobody would believe him even if he did rule it out.
In my part of the world five days before Christmas last year, it was announced because of the so-called Kent variant, people were going to be prohibited from having ANY family and friends visiting! Well they could do one! It didn’t stop us, and nor did it stop anyone else in my street…except for the brainwashed. I had my family round as planned, and I’m so glad, as it was my Dad’s last Christmas – he passed away just recently (not from anything covid related or the jabs – he refused to have them!) and the thought of not having spent his Christmas with him, would have been unbearable. I knew we did the right thing at the time. This pig regime can go to hell.
Unlike my friend’s 80-year-old sister. Her son dumped her Christmas dinner on her doorstep, rang the bell, and drove away.
Charming.
We had an open house last year but no one wanted to come.
I’d have saved it in a sealed container…placed it under a radiator and left it there…all year.
Then given it back as a present this Christmas.
Given his track record it’s best to start planning Christmas now.
I’ve got a large chicken in the freezer which should do 5 or 6 people and a humungous jar of cherries in brandy. That’ll do.
I am starting to do some market research on generators, I think that in light of this Govs statement that there is no chance of power cuts, an electric generator might be a prudent early Christmas present.
Make sure you have a generator for the freezer if the power goes out…
Old people will be cold due to the energy crisis, the “COVID” numbers will surge, a new variant will be blamed, Pfizer will produce a “miracle” new jab …. etc.
Jesus, Fauci is a fucking dirt bag. But what’s worse, his tirade of despicable lies, or the adoring (American) public who worship his every arrogant press interview? Sorry, I have stopped “blaming” press, politicians and law officials a long time ago. Our shit situation is a direct consequence of the UK majority sheepy public’s appetite for subservience, at the cost of liberty, freedom, medical autonomy and mental / physical health. Absolutely disgusting!
Fauci is a bureaucrat masquerading as a scientist and his job is to give government policy the undeserved prestige of actual science.
Prolonged fury about restrictions will wear us out – battle of attrition.
As time is not on our side, I’ve been making sure I look happy and healthy whilst out and about; not wearing a mask etc and giving those who frown at me friendly, happy smiles. My intended message – healthy despite non-compliance.
The masked look very unhappy. They can stay unhappy or copy me – their choice.
They won’t buy-in if we bad-mouth them but we need to recruit them to our view. As fear is an emotion it could be countered by an emotion, ‘happy’ is an emotion and humans buy into fun.
Now there’re more people with faces in the area, we’re instinctively, delightedly approaching and chatting with each other; masked seem to have fallen ‘below our radar’. I’m sure we’re not intentionally ignoring them. It’s just that faces identify people as people; masks don’t, they have no ID at all
They getting left out of the party and may want to join in but not if we give them the sort of attitude that you’ve just shown and many others also show them.
I’m trying to do something to get out of the situation we’ve got in the UK. Blame can be done later, we need to get a solution done first.
Tony Blair also said Frank Bruno should punch people to stop Lennox Lewis punching people.
Blair talking through his arse, as usual. There is no evidence that using vaccine passports as a lever to bully people into getting spiked has done anything to ‘control the virus’.
Sorry, I forgot Israel – high vaccine uptake has been such a massive success there in ‘controlling the virus’, hasnit it! FFS.
In Bliar’s world 2 + 2 = 22, not 5.
Well, for once I do believe Grosse Leader Johnson: Christmas this year will be nothing like last year.
Power and heating cuts at home, and showing our social credit score apps to get into the shops and stare at the empty shelves, it’ll be nothing like any year ever, absent North Korea or China.
“Peking Piffle tells Bolsonaro to get AZ ‘vaccine’ “.
Yes. I seem to remember Obama when he went to Keenya telling them what they should do too. Something to do with marriage I believe. Sadly it appears that the CCP have had some success in persuading other countries to behave like a totalitarian state.
The Brazilian Prime Minister sounds very smart.
Johnson is clearly an idiot.
It is embarrassing.
Bolsonaro has had covid hasn’t he, so knows he is immune and there isn’t any need to make a display of himself getting vaxxed.
Johnson has had Covid, so he knows he’s immune…yet he’s had the vaccine!
Surely, my Prime Minister is not a liar.
I said it before. When you publish anti-vaxx information they will come after you. Maybe even hosting will become difficult in the future.

It looks like Trudeau (and party) get the majority of the votes in Canada.How can that be when there was so mush opperstion to his policies? Are the alternatives so week?
That is a shame, I was hoping to see the back of him.
Trudope was always going to be re-elected. He dines at the top table doesn’t he. I rather think that Bozo will now declare a general election in the UK.
Didnt a newspaper comment recently that he’d told some of his underlings to prepare for one in two years’ time?
Dominion?!
Every time I see Fauci’s face I get a revolting reaction. Only Hancock has come close to arouse such feelings of revulsion as this truly vile individual.
Whitty?
And, please, please, please, do not omit Bozo!
Come on Fauci, deny there is natural immunity. I dare you. I double dare you, with a booster dare.
Over the past few days people have been taking offence about some of my comments regarding the situation in schools and the vaccination plans.
First and foremost I do not see any necessity for the vaccination of younger people (using the NHS definition of anyone under 65) who do not have comorbidities or other life shortening conditions such as Duchennes. In older people then the vaccine should be offered, like the flu vaccine or the shingles vaccine are offered or bowel cancer screening is offered, with the onus on the person to decide for themselves. This is not a reflection on the individuals actual state of health.
Second, teachers can no longer act in loco parentis, except in extreme circumstances that require time critical emergency treatment, when the best interests of the child will take precedence, and even then the person with parental responsibility will ultimately have to be with their child. If the child is a “looked after child” then there will be procedures in place as this is a special case and there’s a safeguarding issue as well (if it requires attendance at A&E then they will definitely raise a safeguarding report)
Thirdly, the responsibility and accountability for controlling, obtaining consent and administering the vaccine lies entirely with the clinicians and the organising healthcare authority, not the school or it’s staff. The school will be involved in the management plan of getting pupils organised to attend the clinic. The parental consent letters should be in the hands of the clinician and should only be used if the child is deemed not Gillick competent or if Gillick competent they decline consent. Gillick competency only allows for the affirmation of consent. Irrespective of your personal opinion
Fourthly, if a pupil develops a possible adverse reaction to the vaccine whilst on school premises but with no clinicians available then there is a responsibility to ensure that the child is seen by the appropriate person, exactly the same for any other illness, no one in the school would be qualified to make a diagnosis.
This is all based on my personal understanding having worked in paediatric A&E and in urgent care.
so you support poisoning children.
You have just confirmed what I am concerned about, if you had read my first statement you will know where I stand on this.
However, whether we like it or not the Pfizer vaccine is being offered to children at school, therefore it is within those parameters that I made the comment.
When, oh when, will someone bump Bliar off? Can we set up a crowdfund for someone to do it?
How about a discount on a multi-item thingy? Cameron, Hague, May, Major, Bozo ….. the possible list goes on!
PM Fat Fuk Pfeffel Pig, of course this Christmas will be different – they’ll cancel it completely this year, pull the power and create mass food shortage and cause a huge medical crisis.
Is there anyone on this site who still believes this shit storm is a matter of incompetence? Stupidity? If you do still believe this, give yourself a bloody hard slap.
They’re creating a perfect storm with a combination of embargos, prohibition and psychological torment. They’re bringing about a total collapse of society and the campaign will really kick in this winter.
I’m in the process of selling my house. We have a buyer in place, but we need this thing to move along fast. Apparently the estimated time it takes for all the paper-work and legal mumbo-jumbo to be ironed out is approx. 3 months, so that’ll bring us right up to Christmas.
We plan to move into a rural location – but I’m seeing a worrying trend that the further out of city/town you go, the more people are ‘coronafied‘, as I call it. When we were in the most remote parts of Scotland last week, for one example; a small fish & chip van had a socially distanced queue and refused to accept cash in order to be ‘corona-safe’.
On the other hand, my trip into Newcastle city centre for a few drinks with a friend was absolutely bustling with maskless people – it was complete normality, no trace of restrictions at all.
Making the right judgements about how to navigate through this nightmare is proving very difficult!
“Tony Blair calls for vaccine passports to prevent another lockdown”
Can we all agree that his comeuppance will be the most joyous to behold? When he’s eventually sentenced to life behind bars or worse, I want a dock-side seat and the popcorns on me.
More shocking news about the possible origins of COVID-19 and the (IMHO) cover-up of gain of function research.

Daszak, Fauci, The Lancet and the Chinese authorities have more questions to answer. And how can Daszak be the one to ‘investigate’ the origins of the virus in Chinam given this and his VERY close links to the Wuhan lab? It’s like getting someone to mark their own homework.
