Professor Sir John Bell (pictured), a member of the Vaccines Taskforce, has expressed his optimism that “the horrific scenes that we saw a year ago”, which he says involved the NHS being pushed to breaking point along with mass deaths from the virus, “is now history”. For this reason, Bell supports Boris Johnson’s decision not to tighten Covid restrictions in England before next year. MailOnline has more.
The message came as a leading vaccines expert backed Boris Johnson’s refusal to toughen England’s Covid restrictions to bring them into line with the other home nations, saying that mass deaths and hospitalisations from the deadly disease are “history”.
Professor Sir John Bell, Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University and a member of the Vaccines Taskforce, said the public had been “pretty responsible” in its response to the spread of the Omicron variant.
Speaking to broadcasters about New Year celebrations this afternoon, Care Minister Gillian Keegan said: “We have always said ‘act cautiously’ since this new variant came among us.
“It is highly infectious and many people will know people who have caught this over the Christmas period.
“So do be cautious, take a Lateral Flow Test (LFT) before you go out. Go to well-ventilated areas; I have been to a couple of outdoor parties actually, people have moved things to outside.
“So just be cautious, but do try to enjoy yourself as well but cautiously.”
It came as new figures showed the number of people in hospital with Covid in England is less than half the same time last year – despite cases being three times higher…
Johnson, who is at his Chequers country retreat, left it to Health Secretary Sajid Javid to face the cameras to announce the decision, although he later tweeted advice to Brits to exercise caution at the new year.
“The Health Minister has taken advice and looked at the data. I think his judgment where we should go in the next few days is probably fine,” Bell told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
“There are a lot of people who are aware that we are in the face of this large wave of disease. The behaviour of people in the U.K., in England in particular, has been pretty responsible in terms of trying not to go out and spending a lot of time exposing yourself to the virus.”
He added: “The horrific scenes that we saw a year ago – intensive care units being full, lots of people dying prematurely – that is now history in my view and I think we should be reassured that that’s likely to continue.”
Boris’s decision last night not to follow the lead of the other home nations in bringing in harsher Covid restrictions ahead of the new year has also been welcomed by Tory MPs who have been at odds with the Prime Minister.

Not sure why I am bothering as all my posts get disappeared for whatever reason… .let’sw try anyway
The deaths are only just starting. The vaccine deaths, that is

Prof, corrupt, lying John BELLEND!!
That’s excellent news: now that the scamdemic is ‘history’ it can be studied by historians and something approaching the truth exposed.
”…. horrific scenes we saw a year ago….”
Where was that, then?
Lots of people dying prematurely …… yeah, that’s why the average age of death is 83. Most of those who died prematurely had serious co-morbidities and weren’t likely to reach a ripe old age.
What about the suicides, who died prematurely, through despair. What about the thousands who will die prematurely through undiagnosed cancer? I guess they don’t matter.
I don’t understand why they are still pushing the pointless tests and masks when it’s a cold and will act as a natural vaccine.
Obergruppenfuhrer Bell.
Just has that Eastern Front look about him.
There were no “horrific scenes” a year ago just media orchestrated panic. The crisis of two years ago was also exaggerated beyond all reason. I do not trust the judgement of those who use the stats to claim that we can now relax our guard because they have still accepted the narrative that lockdowns are right and worked. It would not take much for them to fall back in line with the zero covid zealots who wantt to shut us away forever whilst listening to them pontificate on the need for ever more draconuan restrictions to fawning news presenters.
Ah yes, the public behaved “cautiously” and thanks to all this “cautiousness” the evil virus did not stand a chance. We will never admit that whatever the public or the government has done simply did not matter. This new variant in and of itself just turned out as Not Dangerous At All, and all the scare mongering turned out as Utter Bullshit.
This illusion of control has been the single most astonishing phenomenon across the entire pandemic (although not so astonishing when you know a bit about human fallacies and how self-serving it is for all those who have wasted billions of our money/resources to “fight” this invisible “enemy”).

I actually read that twice. The literary version of a double take. Ha, even knighted professors at the world’s most illustrious university can be bought, then.
Let’s not go down this road of praising the poll approval, voting seeking, bozo depifffel clown johnson for anything, especially not engaging with any narrative the government is giving us our freedom. It was never their gift to take it away.
Horrific scenes? Mass deaths?
Somehow that all missed me.
How odd.
No, but I fear these are coming.
Mass deaths are now history? Talking to a relative over Christmas who works in social services, she was saying they now see 2 to 3 child suicides a week, where it was only 5 or 6 a year. The young who are committing suicide tend to be the high achievers who have now lost hope. This is one small council area, how many times does this need to be multiplied across the country to get a weekly suicide rate of young people?
But as long as one 90 year old granny gets saved it was worth it. Politicians and the MSM are evil, sick bastards.
Bell is a total bullshitter, he deserves a lamp post of his very own.
Didnt they start murdering people with the Covid injections about a year ago. Didnt Honest John O Looney testify that this is exactly what he saw – an uptick in death after they started rolling out the poisoned death shot.
This is the game they are playing – kill people with the jabs and the ventilators and remdesevir, then blame it on Covid.
This guy is a deceiver, crawling out of Satans Church (Oxford University) to deliver this crap.
The depopulation plan is simple but will work well.
Some people will die soon after injection but it is still “safe and effective” and TPTB couldn’t care less.
More will die of heart attacks and strokes as a result of the injections but very few will be investigated (and that includes a friend of mine recently boosted to heaven less than 24 hours after injection) so these deaths will be heart attacks and strokes totally unrelated to the so-called vaccines. Other diseases and cancers brought on by the injections will occur progressively over the next few years but sufficiently distanced from the needles to be listed as cancer or whatever. Of course there will be hardly any post mortems so apparently these will be natural deaths – sadlidied.
The whole plan is deviously circular and seemingly lets those responsible off the hook. When the child mortality gets uncomfortable they might have problems. However, it appears, by and large, that our supine judges have been bought off so justice will not come via the courts.
Will natural justice / people power provide the necessary retribution for the genocide playing out?
Yes this is it, this is what they are doing. Create death on purpose then deny deny deny or act like its all perfectly normal, nothing to see here move along, OMG theres a masked man in Buckingham Palace. Play down any criticism. Control of the media being central to the agenda. Every outcome including unrest and riots etc has already been wargamed, now the film is rolling and the script is being followed. They are depopulating while maintaining the facade that they are looking out for people, they just deny all accusations, intimidate and pressurise where necessary and generally handle everything well.
Those of us – and we’re not insignificant in number – who can see what’s coming need to separate from the evils ones and the naifs.

Talking of liability, here’s the US situation according to Robert F Kennedy Jr …
“This is why Criminal Pharma & their agents are desperate to pump our children full of their ‘vaccines’. It’s about liability protection.
They are prepared to kill 10s of 1000s of children to save themselves billions in vaccine injury payouts.”
https://twitter.com/Neverschwaber/status/1475547536459014148
The only way they can maintain no liability on full approval is to get it approved for kids while under EUA. Otherwise they can be sued into oblivion.”
In other words, vaccines approved for children come with no liability if they’re also given to adults.
I’ve no idea how the UK law on this differs. I doubt there’s any liability at all while it only has EUA, but afterwards … anyone know?
Millions of bedwetters deciding not to go out is not “pretty responsible”.
It is being lied to with lies, propaganda and fear porn.
Fabricated mass deaths and hospitalizations are necessary for Agenda 30.
Oh do shut up you daft, patronizing, alarmist, risk-averse twat!!
And so say all (or at least most) of us!
‘Mass deaths’?? In two years the only person I have known that died WITH ‘covid 19’ is my 85 year-old uncle. He was admitted to hospital with leukaemia and kidney failure, tested negative on arrival, died a few weeks later. At some point WHILE he was in hospital he was given another test and tested positive. ‘Covid 19’ was on his death certificate, as well as kidney failure, but he was down as a ‘Covid death’. My nephew thinks he might have lived a couple of months more if he hadn’t ‘got Covid’. Well, maybe, as if very old people get flu, that can carry them off a little quicker than otherwise too. No other friend or relative has died from this. And for this they’ve smashed the economy, spent billions and billions…track and trace, furlough…not to mention the deaths caused by lockdowns, and are now coercing/forcing (for some occupations) this ‘vaccine’ into our bodies. Anyway, I know you all know all this…
Yes, we all know this, but we urgently need to break from all those who either do not, or pretend not to. https://ourdecisiontoo.com/Issue/there-s-nothing-left-to-do-but-go-our-separate-ways/320/
“the horrific scenes [and] mass deaths” in 2020 were simply 72 thousand excess deaths labeled “with Covid 19” (ONS Final Data 2020 England and Wales). Some 13% extra early deaths. To my knowledge there has been NO analysis of how many of those 72k were actually caused by “Covid 19”. Without any such analysis the estimate ranges between zero and 72k. My iniitial hypothesis is the lower figure until someone does the numbers.

And the pantomime continues.
‘Speaking to broadcasters about New Year celebrations this afternoon, Care Minister Gillian Keegan said: “We have always said ‘act cautiously’ since this new variant came among us.

“So just be cautious, but do try to enjoy yourself as well but cautiously.”’
1. And what significance does ‘highly infectious’ have in this context, Gilly love? Do you even understand what it is you are dealing with here?
2. No, you odious parasite, I will not frivolously ‘test’ myself when I’m not shedding virus and not ill.
Moreover, if I were shedding virus and ill I’d still not take your stupid ‘test’ because, among other things, I am by definition unwell and will therefore act accordingly, and I don’t need some jumped-up nonentity to tell me how to behave.

I had quite a strong emotional reaction when I read the pieces highlighted in your italics. The emotion was hatred. Quite visceral. Not exactly civilised, but true, nonetheless.
Me too.
What pomposity we are apparently beholden to.
Thank God, where would we be without these experts..
And Bell, tell this to all the people you and your ilk have ruined, the bankrupt, the mentally ill, the cancer/heart disease etc.victims killed by delay due to the beloved NHS becoming the National Covid Service at your and similars behest
You Utter Bastard. Rot in Hell.
‘You Utter Bastard. Rot in Hell.’
Thank you.
I usually just say ‘Eff off’ when I see these shits on the MSM. Now I can vent my anger more eloquently.
A lot of people will take these tests though. Record demand and shortages according to the BBC…
Another name for ‘the list’.
I’d forgotten about him, he should’ve kept quiet.
I think one can assume that when the likes of John Bell make statements like this (Ferguson has done similar); he is very aware that the game is up and he is covering his backside, or, he has an impending legal situation to defend.
By the way I am not aware of anyone who has died in the last two years, exclusively of coronavirus © 2019.
Yep: I don’t even know (or knew) anyone who has died with covid.
Can somebody please inform me where the mass graves are located for covid victims we were told would be required back in 2020?
People have short memories. All the council playing fields were going to be turned into mass burial grounds according to the MSM and government ‘experts’. Absolutely laughable that people still quote these publications as reliable sources of information. From front page to back page it is social engineering – at least the sports pages used to be largely propaganda free now even they endlessly push the jab and SJW stuff.
Johnson’s been digging them, but I think they’re for those who’ve succumbed to Matt Hancock’s “vaccine” mania.
This bit got me, even the official figures have shown that the ‘with’ covid death age is approximately that of average death age – “The horrific scenes that we saw a year ago – intensive care units being full, lots of people dying prematurely”. What is the definition of premature death? 83 years old with multiple co-morbidities?
Basically this is narrative reinforcing propaganda saying the restrictions and jabs worked (so should be used again). This works under the ‘Transfusion’ category, different MSM publications and writers specialise in different categories of propaganda.
‘5 Rules of Propaganda’ (From “Europe: A History” by Norman Davies –
Simplification – Simplification into black and white, good and bad
Disfiguration – Discrediting the opposition by crude smears and parodies
Transfusion – Manipulating the consensus values of the target audience for one’s own ends
Unanimity – Presenting one’s viewpoint as if it were the unanimous opinion of all right thinking people
Orchestration – Endlessly repeating the same message in different variations and combination

It reads as if they are backing off. It feels as if they are just taking time out to reload the musket.
Exactly! They back off, in the hope we will.
It’s time to increase the pressure: https://ourdecisiontoo.com/Issue/there-s-nothing-left-to-do-but-go-our-separate-ways/320/
“the horrific scenes that we saw a year ago”,
What horrific scenes?
Exactly. I missed the “horrific scenes” too. Fortunately. 😀
Didn’t you witness people standing outside clapping and cheering every Thursday?
Wasn’t it the nurses TikTok dance routines? Thankfully because I don’t do social media I missed it. The thing that scarred me for life was Major Tom, or am I confusing David bowie with a dad’s army captain who made a bid for 15 seconds of fame before he snuffed it.
This is Major Tom to Mind Control …
Hes talking about the people they killed with the jabs. John O Looney testified that there was a big uptick in death as soon as the needles started hitting the arms, fraudulently labelled Covid deaths. But expecting this shill or anyone in the MSM to admit this is too much. There is a vacuum of integrity in the UK, and an endless supply of backslapping twats to keep the bullshit train running forever.
“the horrific scenes that we saw a year ago”… Including the fake scenes?
So, much of the coverage has been fake or misleading the scale of the media lies is unbelievable from the staged Italian hospital footage (which also featured as New York and other places) to the Mexico City crematoriums working 24/7 (quieter than normal / empty when someone took the trouble of visiting them). All fake yet the public still believe because journalists never call out their colleagues and the public naively trust the tightly controlled mockingbird media.
My favourite were the Indian ones because they were so laughable. There was one where a clapped out old ambulance drives out of a hospital, turns round a corner and a cadaver falls out of the window. Camera crew conveniently in place. https://youtu.be/zOhsNK144Dc
Then there was the endless footage of funeral pyres that the media tried to pretend was because of the volume of deaths – neglecting that funeral pyres are normal in India. Of course it all vapourised as soon as India resumed use of Ivermectin.
The productions values of some of the propaganda has been dreadful, people having smoking breaks whilst waiting in body bags, obvious dummies in hospital shoots, fake morgues. They don’t even have to try anymore, once people are terrified you can show them any old rubbish and they can’t think critically. I also love how they use picture of a pile of newly manufactured caskets, obviously just taken from a manufacturers website, to instil fear.
They never did have to try. It was the same with 911 – they had fake confessions from fake Bin Ladens and all sorts. The moron majority just suck it up. I think they make the productions shit as a joke on the suckers who believe their lies – ninety five percent of the over sixties in the UK for example.
Are you sure it wasn’t an episode of the Benny Hill Show?
