Sajid Javid Rules Out ‘Plan B’ – For Now

3 min read

Sajid Javid has said that the Government does not need to trigger ‘Plan B’, which would see the return of mask mandates and the introduction of vaccine passports for certain venues, but instead urged members of the public to take up the offer of a booster jab so the country can “look forward to Christmas together”. However, the Health Secretary insisted that the Government will “take further measures” and implement ‘Plan B’ if it needed to. MailOnline has the story.

The Health Secretary said that the country is “not at that point” of needing restrictions to be re-imposed. 

But he said “if we needed to take further measures with ‘Plan B’ then we would do so” as he stressed the Government is “not complacent in any way”.

Bookings for Covid booster jabs are opening this week for people aged 40 years-old and over. 

Ministers have faced fresh questions over whether they will push the button on ‘Plan B’ after a Covid surge across Europe prompted some countries to return to lockdown measures. 

The Netherlands has confirmed a three-week partial lockdown while Austria is set to impose a lockdown on unvaccinated people.

A further 40,941 Covid cases were confirmed in the UK as of yesterday morning while a further 150 people had died within 28 days of testing positive. 

The Government’s ‘Plan A’ for tackling Covid is to rely on the vaccination programme and testing to limit the spread of the disease. 

‘Plan B’ would see vaccine passports required for attending certain events and the return of face masks being compulsory in certain settings.            

Javid was asked during an interview on Sky News this morning if people should brace themselves for a return of restrictions before Christmas. 

The Health Secretary said: “As we all look forward to Christmas, it is very sad to see cases rising, surging, in certain parts of Europe.

“We have always known that this virus, it loves the winter, it likes the cold, darker days that winter brings and we need to make sure we are doing everything we can to protect ourselves against that.

“What has made a real difference here in the UK is our booster programme, our hugely successful booster programme.

“Almost 15 million booster jabs given already, covering some quarter of the population over the age of 12 years-old, almost 400,000 a day across the U.K.

“That is making the difference and we know that because just this week there was more data published after more studies that shows that the protection you get from your booster… it almost doubles from 50% to over 90%

“I will be extending the booster programme starting tomorrow to 40 to 49 year-olds.

“But we have all got a role to play in this, in our national vaccination programme and if you are eligible, whether it is your first shot, second shot or your third shot, please come forward and let’s look forward to Christmas together.”

“Urged members of the public to take up the offer of a booster jab”

What an absolute Cxnt!

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Sept 2nd, 2021 about the risks non-jabbed pose to others, bearing in mind it is an accepted fact that the jabbed can and do spread it and can and do still get it!
Yet it is the naturally immune who are being locked away, sacked, and demonized!
OK so because there is no data doesn’t mean it’s never happened but NO RESEARCH into something as critical as this. Even the most fanatical COVIDIOT Jab zealot would have to wonder WTF is going on here?
Worth a look at this, it’s covered in the first few minutes.

In Wales we never lost those mandates (Labour Welsh government) and look how well they brought down infections – not! Perhaps Javid has also noticed that it’s not made a damn difference in Wales (and Scotland), but then again…..

I emailed Javid with a polite request for justification for some of his key claims made in past months. No surprise – no response. I asked my MP to invite Javid to respond. No surprise – no response. By default, proving that on the balance of probabilities there is no evidence to prove any of the claims as being honest and grounded in medicine and science. In other words more of the Big Lie narrative

MPs generally tend to be very big on assertion and very light on evidence. Mine is the same. Even when I’ve provided real-world deployment evidence of the safety and overwhelming success of Ivermectin, it’s still “well, err, no data, no approved, mumble, mumble, excuse, excuse”, etc., all lies of course. My next letter to him is to inform him that Ivermectin is approved by the US NIH for treatment of covid-19, considering all these politicians are rabidly trying to avoid medicines, as they would destroy the vaccine narrative. The NIH page is here: https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/tables/table-2e/ (below Remdesivir) and is quite recent, so not an artefact.

There is an ivermectin panic on the big tech and MSM right now. Massive articles from MSM on Ivermectin trying to push a danger narrative and also negative press on Americans Frontline Dr’s, again, to keep the Covid narrative alive. Just go to the Goog and type ivermectin then look at all the panic news articles. We are over the target. Big-Pharma is panicking. This medicine has been widely used by humans without any problems for 40 years. It’s inventor won a Nobel Prize after 20 years of successful use and after 100 million people were cured of a broad spectrum of problems without any side effects. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

What are the criteria for implementing Plan B? Is it if hospitalisations and/or deaths reach an as yet undisclosed threshold? Or maybe when ‘cases’ breach some unspecified level? Or if vaccinations fail to reach some arbitrary target? Or when Whitty and Valence re-emerge from wherever they are currently hidden to scare the shit out of us?

This should not be a surprise, since the British are famous lovers of tradition. It all shows that the trust between the British and the government and all the traditional information sources are still strong , while the trust of most alternative sources of information is quite weak.

This also explains why the sceptics have struggled to land many hits against the establishment over the last two years.

I was quite hopeful the rubbish would end when Javid was made Health Secretary, I saw him as a strong/decent type who wouldn’t let that odious little rat and his cabal (Cummings) dictate policy when he was Chancellor.

But within weeks of getting the role it was like he had been brainwashed too into becoming one of these power hungry covid zealots we have in cabinet.

There is a pandemic alright, but it’s not a virus, it’s a pandemic of morons across the world running countries.

For all my faults, I couldn’t believe people were really thinking Javid was going to be some saviour.
Funny how the issue of Hancock giving contracts to the Italian slut’s brother has been hushed up. Never mind all the elderly people you killed, Matt, let’s have a grope. And in front of the camera. All staged to give Matt an excuse to slink off and to wheel the Rabid Jabber in.

If he wants to see a duplicate of the unrest on the streets we see in other countries, he had better drop all these plans, permanently.

He also needs to understand that Pfizer have nothing in their plans or protocols for any boosters, none. They’re is no scientific support for them, and likely to (i) wane just as the double vax has, and (ii) end up killing many more people.

There is growing evidence that these mRNA non-vaccines are severely impairing the natural immune system, making those vaxed (let’s now call them victims) open to/prone to/unprotected against/causing all sorts of other conditions. In Canada, the all-cause death rate has just jumped by 600%!

He needs to rule it out full stop. We are constantly looking over our shoulder waiting for them to implement it all. It’s coming… we all know that but when? It’s mental torture. Can you imagine what would happen if you treated your partner like this?

The government is probably closely watching events unfold in Europe where protests are not only growing but becoming more violent. Unfortunately its seems that this is only language politicians understand – when they themselves feel threatened then they finally listen and decide to do something.

I hope it never comes to violence and conflict like we saw in some eastern European countries and the fall of communist regimes … but there are times when you feel as if there is not going to be any other way.

Freedom is never voluntarily given by oppressors especially new tyrants addicted to their newfound powers … it is demanded and then if need be taken by the oppressed..

Are the boosters different to the jabs that are ‘waning’ (a.k.a. not working after a short period)? – NO

Will a booster produce a different result? – NO

Does a ‘fully jabbed (3 jabs so far and counting)’ person develop a long lasting immunity after vaccination – NO

Do the frail with weak immune systems generate a strong immune response from vaccination? – NO

Do any of the vaccines prevent infection? – NO

Are the fully vaccinated less likely to spread the virus? – NO [latest data from the CDC and US Prison service testing shows there is no difference between vaxed and unvaxed]

So, Javid, when are you going to justify your spurious claims that boosters will save Xmas?

That last paragraph of his is pure oily, sick-making putrescence and anyone who falls for it needs sectioning for their own sake and ours.

I was going to say it’s unbelievable that he, or a minion, could put that out, but then I realised it isn’t.

Sajid Javid said earlier today that he was called a P*ki when he was growing up (Britain has taken decades to get rid of ‘shade of skin’-ism and we are certainly not perfect now) – yet he is promoting discrimination against people who decline an unproven medical experimental drug.

Devi Sridhar says the vaccines are 100% safe.

I know someone who claims 3 of their closest friends – in their 40s – died of covid in 2019

If you take my mum’s claims seriously, there is literally no-one alive in East Sussex

What a load of old bollocks.

“What has made a real difference here in the UK is our booster programme, our hugely successful booster programme.”

What has made a real difference here in the UK is our general administrative incompetence, combined with a large part of the populations liberal instincts and behaviour and their common sense, aka not giving a fig about ‘the rules’.
This has led to us being able to let the virus do its work in the beginning, let the young catch it in the summer and thereby build up long lasting natural immunity and avoid OAS in the majoriry of our people, cushioning the effects of the against Covid19 useless, SARS-Cov2 proliferating and otherwise sickening vaccines and boosters, which we peddled and continue to peddle for no discernible and defensible reason.

Pacing and leading.

Jabid is positioning himself as the voice of liberalism. He’s against restrictions, he wants to gift us some freedoms back that were stolen by the Chinese virus, and the unvaxxed.

Follow me, he cries, just get a few more jabs, and I’ll lead you to liberty.

Then he’ll turn around and say “Ackchyually, followers, I’ve been thinking about it, and…”

Meanwhile he sacks pureblood care home workers, and is preparing to sack NHS purebloods.

His words are meaningless. Only actions matter.
