SAGE Adviser Demands People Get Booster Jabs to Avoid Anti-Lockdown Protests

2 min read

Professor John Edwards, a SAGE adviser, has openly stated that Britain will not share the same fate as much of Continental Europe which has experienced a rapid rise in Covid cases. However, Edwards has connected the necessity for booster vaccines with the emergence of anti-lockdown protests across various European countries, such as the Netherlands, urging members of the public to get triple-jabbed to avoid similar protests breaking out in the U.K. MailOnline has the story.

A SAGE adviser has moved to reassure Britons the UK will not see a spike in Covid cases like Austria and Germany, but warned Europe’s soaring infection rate lockdown riots should act as a ‘warning’ as he urged people to get their booster jabs.  

Professor John Edmunds said today that opposition to stringent restrictions on the continent have demonstrated the importance of booster jabs, warning, “it is pretty clear immunity does wane”. 

“What you see now in central Europe with these rapid increase in cases, you see the importance of vaccination,” Edmunds told Sky News. 

But Edmunds said the U.K. was unlikely to be hit by the Christmas chaos because the country “is in a slightly different position.”  

This comes amid a fresh wave of Covid infections on the continent that has sent nations back into draconian restrictions and could see excess deaths start to rise again.

Italy is considering a lockdown of the unvaccinated, it emerged yesterday, which would make it the second country to impose the controversial intervention after Austria.

And Germany’s incoming Government has said that it wants unvaccinated people to be barred from going to work and travelling on public transport amid what Angela Merkel calls “dramatic” infection levels. The Netherlands has also introduced a 7pm curfew for pubs and restaurants amid rising cases there.

Austria has made vaccinations mandatory and yesterday announced it would return to lockdown on Monday, with Germany poised to follow suit after health officials warned they cannot rule out a full shutdown. 

The reintroduction of restrictions across Europe have sparked a fierce backlash and fevered protests broke out in cities including Rotterdam overnight, where riot police fired warning shots, injuring protestors marching against the Covid measures.

Today, tens of thousands of protesters gathered in Vienna with the far-right opposition Freedom Party among those who have called for the protest and vowed to combat the new restrictions.

Demonstrations against virus measures are also expected in other European countries including Switzerland, Croatia and Italy.

Isn’t it amazing countries are this willing to further ruin their economies. Well guess what, they aren’t. It makes no sense does it. Threatened, paid? Both? Who knows. The one thing we do know is it makes no sense for any country to do what Austria is now doing.

So far everything the antivaxxers said has come to fruition. Things have suddenly started to move very quickly hasn’t it. USA vaxxing pregnant women and kids age 5-11 now. Plenty of adverse events and deaths related related to both practices. CDC VAERS.

I would encourage anyone to read Steve Kirsch’s sub stack online info, he is also on Twitter, and gab. So many other scientists, doctors, data analysts, business and legal experts have been warning us for well over a year. Not only will out health status change, so will our worth. digital currency, means no more black market, hiding cash under the mattress, because cash will be extinct soon. Who has orchestrated all this? Anyone know? Anyone ever figure out the origin of this manipulated virus. we don’t even have the answer to that very simple question. The virus which has thrown the entire world into lockstep of draconian measure… Read more »

Perhaps John Edmunds should look at this:
https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/tables/table-2e/

This is the *official* US Govt NIH website.

Ivermectin *IS* approved for use to treat covid-19.

Eveyone follows the US, so this needs to go to every one of our MPs.

With the clear positive correlation of infection rates to vaccine rates and the consequential increase in death rate, there is now no excuse not to deploy Ivermectin nationwide. To continue along the vaccine-only path is tantamount to murder.

And yet another epidemiologist is determining a medical intervention. As a clinician for over five decades I am perplexed that we are permitting these individuals who have never treated patients to direct what happens to you and me. You note the lack of information on T Cell or antibody IgG or IgM or the. fact that mRNA intervention quasi vaccine is against the spike protein sequence only . Yes it is highly implicated and there are adverse effects and if “boosters” were needed why were they not discussed and why do Israel and Gibraltar, the highest % vaccination in our world have increased transmission rates. The facts are they don’t know. It is a guessing game but we should not be mandated to participate. Those of us with an opposition to child vaccination or boosters without determining need are silenced : https://t.me/PeterMcCullough

So Prof John Edwards here is admitting that people would be naturally upset by lockdowns and that hence protests would be inevitable.
So… get your booster jab and avoid lockdowns leading to lockdown protests? But the protests were never about getting booster jabs. The demands of the protestors / rioters are not that we put an end to all this by getting booster jabs. They were about ending lockdown restrictions when they are altogether unnecessary end ineffective, whether a population is vaccinated or not!

What’s next?
“Stay Home, Get Your Booster Jab, Save Lives”
“Have No Fun, Save The Climate”
“Get Your booster-booster, and your flu-jab too!”,
“Celebrate in Moderation, Save the Planet, and avoid climate change riots”
“Get Your Second Dose of your Double Booster, Save Lives”
“Enrich the Richest and Batter the Poor, Protect the NHS”!
“Get Your Covid-21 Jab”
“Vaccinate your pets, just in case the virus crosses back to animals next year!”
“Close your business, you know, just in case in case it will save lives”
“Here take this brain-vaccination to stop you spreading misinformation”.

The vaccine roll out should have been offered to the very old and clinically vulnerable with the option of take up by others on a voluntary basis. Herd immunity would have done the rest. Meanwhile our health system could have focussed on the day job i.e treating chronic non-Covid medical conditions. I suspect excess deaths will rise in the years ahead not due to Covid but because of our reaction to it.

Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

Veterans lay wreaths at today’s Freedom protest:

Earlier on the veterans led the march:

It’s tempting (and very easy) to jack it in. It sure feels like we’re practically alone. But I am seeing more and more veterans joing the ‘freedom’ ranks, along with more and more ordinary citizens (overall). The same appears to be the case across large parts of Europe (if you’re on Gab you’ll know what I’m talking about). 

Take heart, brothers and sisters.

The Brits will not protest because New Year celebrations are going to happen in the UK.
The other night when the Duthh made another proclomation, in that the end of year firework street aprties are going to be banned,a lot of Dutch were setting them off. Now that is the way to protest.
Oh in the Netherlands it is illegal to sore fireworks in your house. That has been law for many a year. It was only permitted to purchase them in the few days running up to New Year.

I still haven’t seen a list of the addresses of those working for the SAGE psychological behaviour unit. And are/were these people really responsible for the mess we’re in? Who are these people? And what are their crimes? Have they really been advising the Government on how to make the British afraid of nothing?

Punch with this hand, then punch with the other hand; until we are concussed and telling the interrogator that we’ll do whatever he wants us to. The end is total control, both economic and social, via the social-control passport. I’m starting to think that there’s no longer any justification for indulging our opponents by calling ourselves “sceptics” any more. An eight-year-old-child is “sceptical” when Mum and Dad tell him that Father Christmas shoves his presents down the chimney: a functioning adult whose attitude to this proposition can still be called “sceptical” should not be permitted to use sharp cutlery unsupervised, or to vote. These are the sad individuals that we see, alone in their cars, masked-up.

Yeah, he’s missing out the middle bit because he can’t say it yet… What he really means is “Get your booster jab because we are intending to lock you down again and then there’ll be violent protests. But at the moment I can only talk about the booster jabs and violent protests because the lockdown bit isn’t open policy yet, so unfortunately I sound nonsensical “.

Is John Edmunds a medic or an adviser on public order?

In any case, the ludicrousness of “Get jabbed, because otherwise we’ll have to put you all under house arrest, and then there might be riots, and you wouldn’t want that, would you?” breaks new bounds.

When you steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the existence of any tool other than a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

And when you state that every piece of wood in the world must be considered to have a nail in it and that the largest hammers available must be used to sort them out just in case, then every piece of wood will end up with hammer damage.
