Health Secretary Sajid Javid gave the Downing Street press briefing today – the first one in five weeks. The headline news is that the Government isn’t implementing ‘Plan B’, although Javid did add the ominous words “at this point”. He said the NHS was not under unsustainable pressure, the link between infections, hospitalisations and deaths had been weakened by the vaccines and announced that the Government has spent considerable sums on some “game-changing” treatments developed by Merck and Pfizer. MailOnline has more.
Sajid Javid today batted away demands from NHS bosses for the Government to revert to its Covid winter ‘Plan B’ amid surging infections and a sluggish booster vaccine programme.
The Health Secretary insisted ministers would not reintroduce face masks and WFH guidance “at this point” as he addressed the nation from the podium at No 10’s first Covid press conference in a month.
Mr. Javid said that while the NHS was seeing ‘greater pressure’, he was confident the pressure was not ‘unsustainable’. He said ministers would ‘stay vigilant’ because cases could still rise to 100,000 a day this winter.
The decision by the Government to hold its nerve on restrictions will anger NHS leaders who claim hospitals are already buckling under the weight of Covid, flu and backlogs caused by the pandemic.
Mr. Javid used the press conference to urge Britons to come forward for their booster jabs in a bid to speed up the sluggish vaccine campaign — which has only seen a quarter of care home residents revaccinated.
He said that the country was still ahead in the race against the virus thanks to the initial Covid vaccination effort, but claimed that waning immunity meant that lead was “narrowing”.
Pleading with the country to get their booster, Mr. Javid added that not only would a booster save lives, it would also “protect our freedoms”. “Boosters could not be more important,” he said.
Daily infections are currently on the brink of passing the 50,000 milestone for the first time in months. Department of Health bosses today recorded 49,139 positive tests, up 15% on the previous week.
Meanwhile, hospital admissions rose by 15.3% week-on-week to 869, while deaths jumped by nearly a third to 179. Both measures lag behind case numbers by a few weeks, due to the time it takes for someone to become seriously unwell after catching the virus.
Mr. Javid also announced the U.K. has bought hundreds of thousands of “game-changing” pills that can be used to treat Brits with Covid at home this winter.
The U.K. has bought 480,000 antiviral molnupiravir pills made by US pharmaceutical company Merck and 250,000 PF-073 courses from Pfizer. They still need to be approved by the U.K.’s medical regulator before Britons can get their hands on the drugs.
Worth reading in full.
It’s good news that the Government is resisting the mounting pressure from various public health panjandrums to start reimposing Covid restrictions – for now. Let’s hope Boris can hold his nerve.

That means Plan B will be implemented soon.
I work in a public hall and already the irresponsible reporting is having a negative effect on some groups who meet in the building with members not attending because of the media going all out project fear again!!
”Surging infections”. Surging testing, more like.
It was always a clever plan to ensure doctors didn’t want to see patients, so that those patients had to take themselves to A&E – keeps up the ‘covid’ numbers, doesn’t it? Now, with the coming of autumn, more people who think they’re sick unto death will be off to A&E and bingo! ”Overwhelmed” hospitals – hence a great excuse for lockdown. And so on, and so on….
After Brexit the supplies of food and other commodities are slowing down and it is taking longer to replace them – along comes Covid, very conveniently and the deaths start to rise in relation to the jab and if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again until you can whittle the numbers down even more through successive booster shots, which do work, by doing just that – how about a spanner in the works for vaccines:Nebulizer? Potti? Netti? I really don’t see the point – do my simple cure instead – 1 heaped teaspoon of iodine table or sea salt in a mug of warm water, cup a hand, sniff or snort the mugful in stages, up into your nose/nasal passages and if you get a sore reaction in your head, then you have a virus, so leave the salt water in your head until the soreness stops (2-3 minutes) then blow out your head with toilet paper and flush away, washing your hands afterwards – so do morning, noon and night, or more often, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth, until you do the flush and you get no sore reaction – when you… Read more »
“It’s good news that the Government is resisting the mounting pressure from various public health panjandrums to start reimposing Covid restrictions – for now. Let’s hope Boris can hold his nerve”…
Tell us another one.. I spat my coffee out when I read that.. 🙂

Why are we wasting more money on Big Pharma snake oil medicine that doesn’t even work when we could have dirt cheap Ivermectin and HCQ that have been proven to work?
Could be like the PPE, face masks, testing equipment, for the investors
But why threaten only those who have already been jabbed to get the boosters? What about their real enemy aka the unvaxxed! Have they given up or are they genuinely concerned about the elderly here?
They now realise that most of the unvaxxed understand what is happening. It is the vaxxed who have been spotted as the suckers who will mostly yield easily and boost BigPharma’s coffers yet further.
I really hope so. This to me is very good news.
I don’t think the “resistance” is likely to last long somehow – so “for now” might not be long…
I’m sure he’ll kickoff with it all as soon as
Bill tells him tohe thinks it’s “appropriate” and he can get away with it…Don’t forget, this lockdown, to
Save lives, kill the economy, take lives.
This pill, that pill from the usual suspects. Is there anyone out there that trusts these people any more. Why new drugs when Ivermectin and HCQ have been proven to work in the field..and are cheap in comparison. That last fact says it all really, doesn’t it.
If everyone reading the daily sceptic and its commentators agree to stand together and refuse to participate in any Lockdown or Covid guidelines or rules then we can and will break this ridiculous state of terror, but we all have to say No
I say ‘no’
I’ve always said no. And done no.
Of course there is no Plan B “at this point”, not with all the bonhomie and back slapping to come in Glasgow for some climate thing. After that is over and all the special attendees whizz back to their respective countries THEN Plan B is brought ” reluctantly, with a very heavy heart” off the table because of “surging infections”. Black hearted blackmailers have insatiable appetites.
Plan B will not be introduced ‘at this point’. In other words, more restrictions and Plan B will be introduced later.
Totally predictable, totally unnecessary, totally pointless and will definitely happen.
Remember when the NHS served the public and Doctors didn’t campaign politically instead of treating you.
Well they’re gone. Get ready for another lockdown, it’s coming.
It may well come, but here’s one who won’t be noticing it..
Lockdown – what lockdown.. ???
So Savage Jabber says “get your boosters to protect your freedoms”. WhoTF does he think he is, graciously suggesting we will get back what he and his spawn of the devil colleagues stole from us for no good reason?
And what will these so called ‘booster vaccines’ do? Boost our chances of catching the coronaflu or boost our chances of passing it on to others?
Boost your chances of visiting the crematorium a little earlier than expected..
This whole ‘covid’ thing is predicated on multiple egregious self-replicating frauds. All ‘covid’ data are derivative gobbledegook. The only ‘covid policy’ we need is to arrest the perpetrators and principal collaborators, and put them on trial for their lives on charges of Crimes Against Humanity.
I have a plan Sajid Javid, it’s called Plan X. It’s where I eXit all this lunacy and eXist in a normal human eXistence. Free of government coercion, blackmail and control.
That Plan needs air time or advertising.
No Government minister is falling sick, no marching citizen looks sick, no neighbour around me is falling sick, no family member is sick. However, we now have two teenagers in our town dead 48hours after the jab. The funeral directors are commenting that more under 30s are coming through their hands than is normal at any time in the year.
Just when will people open their eyes and start to say NO to this corrupt and evil cartel that calls itself the Establishment.
Well said Mojo. And I’d have a hefty bet that your experience mirrors those of the majority of the human race. But the masses aren’t saying anything.
Global narcolepsy continues.
The mask doesn’t protect me. So wear a mask. The jab doesn’t protect me. So have a jab. The second jab doesn’t protect me, so have a second jab. The booster doesn’t protect me, so have a booster. The mask still doesn’t protect me after two jabs and a booster, so wear a mask.
The miracle pill will protect me, but it’s too cheap, so I can’t have it. Got it!
”At this point” means we will introduce Plan B in the winter when the digital ID system is ready and we will be to trapped into lives of perpetual slavery. Texas anyone?
I’m not implementing their Plan B at any point.
#I’m done.
Proof positive that Savij Jabbid is a puppet:
or could it be Klaus schwab
Don’t you mean a f*cking muppet..
Will this law stop the government coercing and bullying?
“The government’s new coercive or controlling behaviour offence will mean victims who experience the type of behaviour that stops short of serious physical violence, but amounts to extreme psychological and emotional abuse, can bring their perpetrators to justice
The offence will carry a maximum of 5 years’ imprisonment, a fine or both.”
We’ve all been victims of it, chronically, for eighteen months.
Class action to be brought on behalf of 67 million people.
I believe the law is exactly what they are doing to us and yesterday’s new threats amount to psychological and emotional abuse.
Not quite 67 million people, Annie.
The following must be excluded
The above are the guilty ones. And I am sure I have missed some.
It is also worth remembering that there are plenty outside these categories who hold an ‘official position’ in numerous voluntary organisations (and other private organisations) who have failed signally to push back against this tyranny; not only have they failed to push back, they have actively colluded with this evil, tyrannical and satanic government.
Some of these people, but not all, have a valid reason or excuse.
if you are in any doubt of the moral deficit of certain MPS, I recommend you read Hansard – the alleged “debate” which voted NOT to rescind the extension of the Coronavirus Act powers. The statements made by some MPS are to be expected but please read what was said by some alleged Tory sceptics…..I acknowledge that the HoC was populated by very few MPS, a scandal in itself but I was shocked to read how pusillanimous some of these vaunted sceptics were in NOT taking the government to task in a far stronger manner.
The Italian study cited by The Daily Telegrapj goes on to say:
“In contrast, the average age of death among the unvaccinated was 78, with those people having four pre-existing conditions on average.”
Yes, the average unvaxxed covid death is a 78 year-old person with four comorbidities. You can see why healthy kids are being urged to get their gene therapies. It’s clearly a very consistent and measured policy.
Our government are a disgrace, Fact. Plus they cant afford any more lockdowns, only threats..
“People who are vaccinated against Covid are highly unlikely to die of the virus unless they are very old and already ill, a study in Italy has shown.”
The Telegraph reports in its deranged mania to get mRNA boosters jabs into everyone. Considering NHS figures show covid-19 has killed only 876 healthy people under 60 in England across the entire pandemic, and covid deaths are almost the same per 100,000 whether injected or not, shouldn’t the headline simply read:
“People are highly unlikely to die of the virus unless they are very old and already ill, NHS figures show.”
OR IS THERE SOME OTHER REASON HEALTHY PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO HAVE THE INJECTIONS, SAJID?
The Telegraph is a total disgrace.
The Terrorgraph is the Governments own propaganda arm it spews out whatever Boris Johnson tells them to, The owners of the Telegraph are his bitches
Savage Jabbit and Krazy Kwarteng have both said today that Plan B won’t happen.
So it’s a chuffin cert it WILL happen, because the last three lockdowns were a raging success if I remember rightly.
The vaccines don’t work and never have. Anyone that has analysed the Pfizer study can see it’s a statistical marketing tour de force, deliberately ignoring in the PR blurb, an ARR of 0.8% which is essentially useless. Case rates, the number of which is complete fiction derived from unfit-for-purpose tests, was starting to flatline before the introduction of the experimental therapy. Worldwide you see cases immediately accelerate post vaccination. We have 1719 vaccine deaths reported via the Yellow Card system, which equates to 5.6 deaths a day from the vaccine rollout on Dec 8th 2020 and this is drastically under reported. This experimental gene therapy does not prevent transmission, infection, severe illness or death. Post second-shot blood work has shown a large increase in Granulocytes, which is indicative of autoimmune disease. The tanking of Lymphocytes, CD4, CD8 natural killer cells, effectively negating the adaptive immune system. We have Taiwan with more vaccine deaths than those from covid. We have Israel onto their 4th useless booster and the highest vaccinated countries with the most cases. Just say ‘Uttar Pradesh’ to any covidian and watch them turn ashen. We have a government that failed so badly in the early stages of the… Read more »
Terrific post.
Nailed it.
First class post. Every politician or health official who has either mandated these novel therapies, or initiated policy which coerces people into taking them, must stand trial for crimes against humanity.
“Keep taking the tablets”
Brilliant post.
The tanking of parts of the immune system is is quite deliberate The reason is quite simple, the mrna would otherwise be destroyed by the killer cells before the synthetic mrna could begin to instruct your own cells to produce the intended spike protein.
The tanked cells include P53 aka the tumour suppressor gene and the TLR’s 3, 4, 7, and 8. these play an essential role in targeting cancerous cells for destruction.
Pfizer et al don’t put that on the side of the tin.
Surely even the dimmest sheep would be a teeny bit worried at the mention of the big C.
I have tried to post this in the G******n and the M**l (I know) but with no success in the G. (they know me ) and temporary success in the M.
Please try and alert as many as possible. Have a go yourself in the above “newspapers”.
The above is perfectly true. The key is the ablating of the immune response by modifying the nucleoside uridine by replacing it with 1-methyl-3′-pseudouridylyl.
Without this the mrna would be destroyed by your innate immune system..

Good thoughts and explanation that was new to me.
I just saw this video of Bhakdi explaining what happens later, the antibodies, leukocytes and killer cells will attack your blood vessel cells that produced spike proteins and the it’s game over.
“I only hope I live long enough to see justice served!”
This has *always* been my biggest fear. Not seeing these inhumane bastards burned alive.
Very well put! Superb post.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but….
The Merck drug Molnupiravir is said to be as effective as ivermectin, but reports on TrialSiteNews suggests that not only are the results a bit sniffy but the drug works by inducing mutations in the RNA of the virus to cause defects preventing replication.
The thing is though that it will also cause mutation in DNA and researchers examining the drug consider that it may result in cancers in patients taking it.
There is no possible other reason for the trial excluding pregnant and breast-feeding women and men and women attempting to conceive a child – but we do not know if the EUA they are pursuing will contain the same advice (after all it worked for the mRNA spike gene therapy drugs).
Pic should say”Hell’s Gate” not Downing Street. Halloween come early.
