Wear Masks and Don’t Meet Indoors, Says Government Chief Medical Adviser

by Will Jones
26 March 2022 1:15 PM

Brits should return to wearing masks in enclosed spaces and not meeting indoors, the Chief Medical Adviser of the U.K. Government Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has said.

Dr. Susan Hopkins’ comments came despite the moves towards ‘living with Covid’ across the U.K. and the lifting of all restrictions in England.

The advice appears to be in response to the recent rise in reported infections, hospitalisations and deaths.

However, the latest figures suggest the recent surge is peaking. Deaths also remain below average for the time of year.

U.K. reported infections

The intervention is a worrying indication of how Government officials will respond should a variant or virus more virulent than Omicron appear. It suggests there is some way to go yet if the country is to move decisively away from the illiberal and disastrous public health policies of the past two years.

And who elected her?

There are rather too many “independent” technocrats in government at present.

Quite – they just need to give it a rest. It’s the current dominant respiratory virus that targets, sadly as always, the elderly. Sure, it’s a little tougher than before but it was always said that the fallout from economic ruin will make the pandemic look like a walk in the park. Some people seem to think we can borrow £0.5tn without any impact.

Given the “heat or eat” dilemma posed by the rocketing prices, the big worry for many of the “the elderly” this autumn, winter and early spring next year is going to be starvation or hypothermia, or both. Either way, being frozen and starved isn’t quite the right way to prepare to resist any illnesses doing the rounds. In that regard, it’s about as lethal and unprincipled as the 2020 “clear the hospitals to the care homes” fiasco.

As for this dreadful woman, and the rest of the tinpot dictators (medical, scientific, political et al), one sniff of being able, and encouraged to boss people around is more than adequate to perpetuate their power “kick”. A pox on the lot of them.

I know many elderly people who after three jabs have covid right now. For every single one of them it is a mild to strong cold. Not one of them hospitalised, not one of them dead.

I also know some kiddies and 40 something year olds who got hit hard. Again like a serious cold, no hospitalisation no deaths.

That is a common story. Whilst I’m sure there are bad cases of Covid around, they are pretty rare. I live in a town of 8,000 people and admin the local Facebook group. It’s a relatively close community and we would have heard if people were ending up hospitalised or dying. We’ve sadly lost about 20 over the last two years to respiratory complications (before/after vax) which to be honest considering we have three care homes isn’t that different from normal.

Most sensible sceptics don’t deny that Covid exists and it’s a novel weird new respiratory virus with some strange symptoms like the lost of taste & smell.

What people like Hopkins don’t seem to get is that it’s the responses that are out of perspective to the risk and that the collateral damage caused by any restriction doesn’t merit their introduction.

I’ve been a pretty level-headed “glass half full” kind of guy my entire life but at one point I ended up considering asking for some Diazepam because I was struggling to sleep and kept waking up in a cold sweat – the reason? The restriction that prevented us seeing mum in her last two weeks because she was locked away in hospital and we couldn’t see her. Especially poignant today.
Wearing masks is diddly squat about public health. I get “have to be seen to do something” – that’s natural. But no, it really is time to live with it.

PS. Mum didn’t die of Covid, she died of pneumonia triggered by long term underlying co-morbidities. But they tried to pin it on Covid!! It was listed initially on the cause of death and I had to keep challenging it because mum was tested frequently in those two weeks and had never tested positive.

I was watching something on TV today. A scientist was explaining how the world would lose its magnetic fields and spin out of its orbit if we didn’t follow his carefully studied solution, but we had just one chance to get it right. It was a film from 1957 in black and white called ‘Metallic Man’.

It seems to me that every third or fourth feature film made between then and now has been based on some loner scientist discovering something incredibly significant. No-one believes him of course, until things escalate, and he (and his love interest) manage to reach a panicking politician. The politician, sceptical at first, quickly realises that the scientist is their, and our salvation and gives them extraordinary powers to fix it, which they do, to everyones relief and gratitude. Handshakes and Ferraris all round, and of course he gets the girl.

Its a storyline that repeats and repeats. It has obviously got itself embedded in our psyche that ‘experts’ are right more than politicians and ordinary people for that matter, and that no matter how bizarre the claim, our best interest is to go along with it or face certain doom.

I have a much better idea: All these women past their best-before-end-date who believe they both know what everyone else should really be doing and have or should really have the authority to order them to do so should form a circle of closet totalitarians who absolutely cannot live among other human beings who are allowed to anything on their own. They can then meet daily or weekly or monthly, whatever suits them best, to circle-swab each other in order to detect exciting new pathogens. This can be televised for anyone who happens to be interested in it.

They must not hold press conference from a government supplied pulpit. They must never get within walking distance of other people’s children. All laws regarding unlawful imprisonment, assault with the intent to cause bodily harm and publically soliciting criminal actions apply to them. They must not contact MPs in order to get these laws temporarily or permanently overturned.

Minimum punishment when breaking any of these rules: Get swabbed for eight hours in a row.

Susan Hopkins needs to do some reading of all those research based papers that indicate quite clearly that the wearing of masks offers at best minimal and largely no protection whatsoever in the transmission of Covid. In fact she most certainly knows they don’t work, or she is so uneducated that she should not be employed in any health capacity.
What is it with these moronic public servants? Who encourages them to step forward with their brain dead pronouncements that no one, other than the stll brainwashed, believes.

No data referenced to support this?
No concerns for the damage that all these extra masks are doing to the environment given that all the data shows they do not work so are not required.

I really hope that people just ignore it as being ridiculous advice but my hope level is currently low.

I was in supermarket yesterday and bashed my hand trying to hand over money to the cashier (just to interpret that’s giving physical cash to to a person who collects payment). Screens all around the person other than where you collect the shopping.

I waited patiently (sniggering to self at his antics) and when it was finally my turn I said to the check out guy “I’m going to surprise you by paying with something you haven’t seen in a while”. I handed over hard cash and the transaction was completed in seconds. Hard cash beats mobile phone for speed every time!!!

I have developed quite a bad phobia of people with masks on. Masks are creepy and intimidating. They used to be associated with criminals and terrorists. Now, in my head, I associate them with aliens, zombies, and brain-dead creatures without faces. I avoid places infested with them, like Tesco and M&S. These people belong in hell.

I haven’t written anything, but I did provide her address for anyone who fancies having a stab at it.
I have been consistently of the opinion that sending e-mails to the likes of local MPs goes absolutely nowhere… and from what I have seen over this past year, my assumption seems to have been proven to be correct.

Perhaps the Alpha Men Assemble will call round on her and kick one of her empty pizza boxes.

Here she is saying that Omicron will find the unvaccinated:

“Covid has given a lot of terrible, petty, mediocre people a great deal of power, and they won’t be willing to give that up, ever. … It merely plays into their hands, that most of the vaccine candidates will likely provide limited immunity, might be dangerous for children, and possibly less effective for the elderly. …”

There is the very big problem looming of the May elections. Our town is already controlled by The Independents who have followed Government guidelines rigorously. There is little appetite for voting at the present. However, it seems the Independents nationally have more trust than the mainstream parties but the Independents could be just as bad as the mainstream when it comes to socialism and globalist control. I think we may be in for a whole generation of socialism or worse here in Europe.

The geopolitical map is changing and we know that Russia and India are more democratically inclined than Europe is at the moment. How they will deal with China or will they live and let live instead of interfering. It seems to me this whole destabilisation and now pandemic has been the brainchild of CIA using other countries to take the blame. The Western propaganda and bribery involving puppet governments placed around the globe is now in the open and coming to a brutal end.

Worrying indeed. I hadn’t experienced such a level of control by government in my lifetime until recently. Clearly it suits their globalist inspired (controlled?) objectives, they like it, and will not give it up willingly.

So do they have some new evidence that Surgical splashguards have any effect whatsoever at blocking airborne respiratory viruses? If so where?
All the peer reviewed evidence I can find says ‘nope’, but anyone with the tiniest amount of wit would know that the warm, damp place between mask and skin provides a wonderful breeding ground for all types of bacteria and fungi. Right on top of their ‘open’ mouth breathing and nostrils. Yuk!
I’m guessing someone has seen their profits dipping a bit as sales of these nonsensical face knickers drop.

Outrage, anger, caused by another ill informed medical adviser. Who in the hell are these people? Step down now. Yes, the jerking of our chains is becoming more than anyone can stomach. We will not wear masks ever again, we will meet indoors and outdoors with whoever we want. People please for your own sake wake up. This latest version of the scariant is a cold/flu like episode. I know because we are surrounded by it in people ages 4 to 80. Two years is more than enough time sacrificed for what?

I would rather this idiot tell us early repurposed drugs for the early treatment of covid will be available over the counter for anyone who would like it. No, instead she is advising people to wear masks, which have proven to be totally ineffective and avoid being with people in indoor spaces. At what point will the UK recognise their economy simply cannot afford such measures. Fortunately enough people realise how senseless recommendations like this are, however, because we now know that social isolation, fearmongering, and mask wearing cause serious mental health issues, it is time to stop it.

Susan Hopkins, has any one written to this woman to express your utter shock and disappointment in her recent remarks. When hundreds of studies have been published concluding masks are ineffective in preventing the spread of covid, that social isolation leads to mental health illnesses and that the current variant is even weaker than the previous variant. How is it possible that an adviser to PHE(new name UKHSA) be so unaware of these facts and proceed to give such dangerous advice.

When people like Dr. Carl Heneghan is recently banned/suspended on twitter for quoting a publication, and Susan Hopkins is allowed to advise on national news, to the people of this country information we know is incorrect, something is very seriously wrong.

I would like to suggest to the readers going backwards is not an option.

100’s of studies now conclude masks do not prevent the contracting or spreading of the covid virus (Kirsch)and other studies conclude the damaging affects of social isolation on mental and physical health, how can an advisor to the public health department of this government advise people to wear a mask and socially isolate. Where is the research concluding masking and social isolation are safe? At what point is this considered dangerous misinformation? Perhaps the woman who made these recommendations could respond.

It’s for the money, and for recognition in her pier group that she is on the right side, to keep herself in the circle of influence. Everything collapses in the end, and these people will deny they stated these things. The absolute hypocrisy of Whitty to state lockdowns are harmful, when he advocated tougher longer restrictions. Of course he says this now with the inquiry looming. Now we should get the 4th ‘booster’, it’s the same as all the other vaccines, and only lasts 5 weeks. These people are not medical professionals they have no morals and no ethics, the are salespeople for big pharma, for money.

Imperial college that had a large injection of £££ from Gates. I have yet to see a study which says masks work. We here in Germany still have to wear our FFP2 or FFP3 masks and we have currently 300,000 ‘cases’ a day. Tests are still free. Full protection is wearing a hazmat suit. I’m sure some people would do that because they have been so brainwashed and have never bothered to do any research into the studies done.

I would postulate that this woman is an unprincipled liar. Omicron and its successor, whatever it is called are mild, like a cold. As described by South African scientist, Dr Angelique Coetzee, last December!

What next? Will we have to be jabbed with a new gene therapy for each new virus that comes along?

Btw, she obviously has not yet heard that masks are ineffective and serve no purpose.
