‘This is the beginning of the end of Covid’, says Professor Karol Sikora
Wishful thinker!
This is where technocracy will lead China develops AI ‘prosecutor’ that can identify ‘dissent’ and press charges for common crimes ‘with 97% accuracy’ But what will liberal leftists do when their professions & civil service jobs are taken over by not so intelligent technology?
Let them all eat cake. Will there be an app to bake it?
On what planet do these political goons think sending jab squads to the homes of the un-drugged is going to end well?
Maybe that’s the point / intention.
It won’t end well for the squaddies.
Don’t be too surprised if they use the army to be the door-to-door jabbers. How fucking intimidating would that be!
If any goons appear at my door I’ll tell them that implied consent to be on my premises has been withdrawn. Then…door in face.
Or play them this

Get some signs up (3) on the way from where your property ends right up to your front door saying “notice, private, by appointment only”. If they haven’t got an invitation to be there, they are trespassing and you should give them a fee schedule. Look into common law and trespass.

This has not reached the English written press yet. France is changing the health passport to one that is used for vaccinated only. No longer will it be used if you prove negative.

gee, can’t wait to go somewhere that’s going to force me to wear a mask 24×7 despite everyone being “vaccinated”.
I know. Plus thee OMG variant is going through the roof. Plus jabbed is not a 10% Guarantee of not catching Covid.
They should be removed from Twatter for false information.But we all know that is not going to happen.
When are the vaccine passports scheduled to expire?
When the jabberoid holder does?
Door-to-door teams armed with Covid jabs will be sent to the homes of unvaccinated Britons in plans being considered by Ministers to reach the estimated five million people yet to be inoculated.
Let’s say that’s a team of 3, are any of them going to be qualified nurses or can any Tom, Dick or Harriet come and stick a needle in you. Cost? £30? £50, £60 per hour plus transport? And if they can do 3 people per hour say 20 per day that’s a quarter million days needed to get to 5 million.
The magic money forest just grows and grows…
You can be sure a Tory cabinet minister has a neighbour who knows a man who can.
The Landlord of The Dog and Duck can do it.
At least you’ll be able to tell them what you think of them, unlike those creepy text messages.
I saw this story yesterday, I thought what an excellent opportunity to waste their time exploring informed consent questioning, at the end of interrogating them, wasting an hour or two, simply say I do not consent & close the door on them.
As the original poster said, it’s not going to be productive for government.
Can I see the tape if someone keeps one there for an hour? If I was a betting man, I’d say not a chance they’ll stay an hour – probably not more than a few minutes at most.
I’ve only had one text, right at the beginning of the Jabathon and simply chose “No”. Not a peep since.
“Door-to-door teams armed with Covid jabs will be sent to the homes of unvaccinated Britons in plans being considered by Ministers to reach the estimated five million people yet to be inoculated.”
Armed being the operative word.
Allows lethal force.
Against them.
I’d most certainly open the door, listen to what they say and then tell them exactly what I know about these heinous jabs. It would be interesting to find out what the medical staff actually know who are administering these things. I suspect it is very little.
It’s a big bluff, much like the mythical TV detector vans.
I’m reminded of the very first episode of Futurama, where Leela is “armed” with the “career chip” (condemning him to be a pizza delivery boy for eternity) for Fry’s arm. But she did abandon this post.
Is not this also against GRDP? This will knocking obviously be undertaken by a private contractor. Who has decreed this, very private information can be passed on to them?
Realistically we have to unearth the hidden agenda behind this move.
Are they trying to gauge strength of resistance or is it a fear campaign? Something else perhaps?
As Neil Oliver has rightly said, it’s not about what they say it’s about.
Blatant attempts to shame and name the unvax’d to the local community. No doubt the jabbing teams will be in full infection control regalia to add to the drama and spectacle.
Five million?
https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/12/17/23-million-not-vaccinated-in-england/
UK Government report admits there are 23.5 Million people in England who have NOT had a single dose of a Covid-19 Vaccine17 December 2021
NB I have NOT checked that article.
If you read the Executive Summary on page 3 of the latest UKHSA Vaccine Surveillance Report, you’ll see that 68.2% of the population in England have had at least one jab which leaves 31.8% unvaccinated. The population of England is 56 million approx of which 47.8 million are eligible for the jab. By my calculations, the total number of unvaccinated people who are eligible is 15.2 million.
COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report – week 51 (publishing.service.gov.uk)
I believe that the UKHSA use NIMS England population estimate 62.7m, not the lower ONS estimate (56.5m).

“In the sort of delicious irony we’ve all come to expect from modern day health policy (and doubly so from the boriqua version) we see once more the total faceplant of “jim covid” laws.
MMM is a puerto rico health insurer. (text below is from a guy who works there)
they mandated covid vaccination for employees.
employees sued and won exemptions.
the company responded by segregating them and moving all the unvaxxed into a separate building.
then covid broke out in the vaccinated building (but not the unvaxxed).
you seriously cannot make this stuff up.
i have changed nothing (except for covering the phone numbers)”
Absolutely hilarious.
What’s the Puerto Rican equivalent of ‘that came back to bite you on the arse’?

How different is this, in practice, from what our own “Big Tech” does?
Absolutely nothing weird about this at all. And nothing totalitarian about it either.
I believe Austria has floated plans like this recently.
I can’t imagine them actually doing this. But almost every step of the way for two years, the Corona-Maniacs, Corona-Demagogues, and high-placed Panic-pushers, have gone beyond what good sense, good policy, and decency would dictate be the stopping point…
For a bit of ‘flu.
Let’s hope each and every team coming to harass citizens on their doorsteps into having a gene therapy they don’t want has a trained medical professional on it, or Johnson breaks the Nuremberg Code yet again.
This may qualify as cliche here at The Daily Sceptic, but:
The Corona-Panic (as social-political-cultural phenomenon) vastly empowered “Big Tech” — the already awesome power of Big Tech — in the West. Many of these daily news stories wouldn’t work without an active Big Tech role.
Yes there is also a new element of overt power in the form of a priestly class of public health bureaucrats, and many other elements constitute Power in our countries, but they all seem to depend on what is called Big Tech. Could there have been lockdowns at all without the active and aggressive support (collusion) of Big Tech?
Big Tech was already as powerful, by 31 Dec 2019, as some 20th-century fiction writers had created in fictional worlds meant to have dystopian streaks, but the events of 2020 were then like a coup d’etat by which Big Tech vastly increased its own power.
(My former comment to this effect was washed away in the flux of the Christmas Crash here at The Daily Sceptic; allow me the liberty to re-post this excellent political cartoon — which, ironically, Google’s algorithms are suppressing):
“America’s ruling class, the early 2020s”
Notice that Big Tech occupies the central position, towers over the others in the balloon, and stands confidently ready to strike.
What an incredibly stupid and naive idea sending people to do door to door jabs. You’d need to send half the NHS staff to get through 5 million people within any reasonable timeframe. The cost would be horrendous both in terms of physical cost, petrol, time but also in terms of the number of people liable to die due to lack of staff.
Does anyone in Parliament or its advisory teams actually have a brain?
ER,NO!!!!!
Great way to spread the unicorn from house to house. Maybe that’s the aim. Don’t forget to sanitize your doorbell after the visit.
??omicron
The delaying and delaying simply does not add up with how “dangerous” they told us Omicron is. Why is the government saying next to nothing about why they’re not introducing new curbs? Is it because those who translate Boris-waffle into some form of English don’t work between Christmas and the New Year? All they’ve said is the usual “we see nothing in the data”. Is it because they don’t want to be quoted as saying “the risk from Omicron is milder”? (We know this, but they don’t want to admit that they do.) Are they afraid that whatever they say will be thrown back at them, just as (we ourselves) have taken delight in quoting lines such as “three weeks to flatten the curve”? Is this now their strategy, being totally non-committal with their “decisions”, in case they come back to bite them?
Or once again, is Saint Boris so afraid of his own cabinet and MPs, that he’s taking a gamble, playing the “do nothing, say nothing” card, and hoping that the NHS will be no worse than usual this January? Is Saint Boris now feeling twinges of the FEAR which he and his merry men have inflicted on us for nearly two years?
It’s curious how in Pfizerael you need four shots of snakeoil to defeat Moronic, but in Britain, three shots is enough.
I didn’t think any people could be more moronic than Savij Jabbid and his coven, but evidently I was wrong.
‘Door-to-door jabbers visiting areas’…
The main thrust of this initiative is an attempt to publicly shame and identify the unvax’d in front of their neighbours so they can be viewed as a pariah – a living entity that threatens the ‘groups’ safety in their fight against the ‘killer’ virus. A local focal point to fixate their hatred, fear, derision and despair.
My message to them, all of them? They can FOTTFSOF – then FOSM!
I feel better for getting that out of my system, much better.
Mind you, it could work the other way! There might be loads that aren’t jabbed in the street! That wouldn’t look good! And aren’t those jabbed jabbinators going to be at risk from the unpricked? Time to get a great big “No Hawkers” sign on the gate! All of the unjibbed ain’t EVER getting the monkey gunk, so a couple of PPE’D goons turning up ain’t going to change that! Be it on their heads if come down MY path!
I think that our American cousins proposed the going door to door schtick. What a good idea, in a country where everyone can bear arms, and some have some serious weaponry. Did they ever do it, does anyone know?
Many years ago, you could buy a sticker for your front door, saying that you never buy at the door. I think the Police supported this, in an attempt to protect the elderly from cowboy door to door sellers. Perhaps we need something like that? “I don’t take medical advice / treatments from strangers who knock on my door” ?
Good idea: this MUST be a scammer’s/thieve’s christmas coming a bit late!
I wouldn’t worry about the mobile jab teams. I’d imagine they’re going to sheltered housing and infirm people’s houses. They know they will only get abused if they attend any normal unjabbed persons house.
I have quite deliberately declined to discuss my vaccination status with anyone, as is my right. If a vax team turns up on my doorstep they will effectively be outing me to my neighbours and leave me vulnerable to harrasment. I think I would have a strong case for suing them for misuse and illegal disclosure of my private medical information.
I guess that as I’m over 65 one of the 3 knocking at my door will be an undertaker
Probably alongside the other 2: one to hold you down, the other to give you the Harold Shipman treatment!
More evidence that not only our fellow citizens are moronic but have totally given up on life.
1:A woman who Mrs FP worked with before retirement refused to come to a pre Christmas get-together meal with colleagues and ex colleagues because she was terrified of catching Covid.
This woman is middle aged, well educated and intelligent but 2 years of constant brain washing and propaganda, and “working from home” has turned her and her husband into quivering wrecks who hardly open their door and have everything including food delivered to their door.
2:Our neighbour’s family have a “group” social media site/blog/whatever where they constantly post updates of their 3/4 tests each and every day along with photographs along with evidence of the each and every time they test, day after day after day.
I along with my fellow sceptics could bore everybody with similar true stories.
NEVER GIVE IN AND NEVER SURRENDER!!!
It makes me mad, all the hard working taxpayers money being splurged on the ongoing rubbish – incessant testing, swabs, enhanced payments per jab for the GP / pharmacists, stockpiling the crap-in-a-syringe with future promised orders to be fulfilled etc etc. Mad, I say, Mad…
How many Boxes, how many Cats, are they dead or alive? Ask “The Daily Sceptic” and get an answer or perhaps not?
“The Daily Sceptic” is sorely in need of a rebranding so those of us who expect some little gems of hope do not encounter Yes – No – Perhaps according to the flavour of the day. I suggest a rename to “The Daily Enigma”.
As a pressing example I now consider the “Daily Sceptic” as pro mRNA shot, and not hesitant. All your correspondents, including Dr Will Jones, now appear to endorse the efficacy and safety of the shot, although sometimes Dr Will Jones does open the wrong box, naughty Will !
Question remains an Enigma. As safe or better than any previous vaccine? Can be safely used on Children as young as 5 (Possibly 6 Months soon), and pregnant women, so by definition remarkably safe on all the rest of us?
I suppose this appears to be a safe ground to occupy as it aligns to the edict of the Official Science and Medical Consensus.
Just answer this one question:
Should I accept the offer of a mRNA shot ????????
NHS in danger of severe staff shortages because of blah,blah,blah,etc.
Did NHS staff never ever suffer from colds and flu over the years?
