Hot on the heels of Frances Ryan in the Guardian calling for the return of masks, mass-testing and self-isolation, Channel 5 presenter Jeremy Vine has said vulnerable people should stay home and shield once more. MailOnline has the story.
Jeremy Vine has encouraged vulnerable people to start shielding again amid a fresh wave of Covid infections. The Channel 5 presenter, who is ill with the virus himself, criticised the Government for playing down concerns about rising numbers.
An outbreak on the set of his show has seen several crew forced off work with Covid in recent days, including his pregnant co-host Storm Huntley.
In a video posted on Twitter, Vine, 57, said: “100% of our presenters have got it. That means there must be a lot of it about. Why isn’t the Government mentioning it? Why isn’t it saying anyone vulnerable, you know, stay indoors?”
Nearly 4 million extremely vulnerable people were told they were no longer advised to shield from April 1st, as part of No. 10’s ‘living with Covid’ plan.
Showing his positive lateral flow test to the camera, Vine added: “That’s a big red line there, there is a lot of it around. Shouldn’t they [the Government] be saying… just stay in if you are vulnerable, but we’ve not heard a peep. I guess they are just too busy.”
Nationally, Covid infections have nearly doubled in a fortnight in England and more than 1,000 patients are now being admitted with the virus each day. The Government has said it will monitor the situation “very quickly” but insists it does not plan to reintroduce restrictions.
Ministers and their advisers have taken confidence from the fact only a fraction of Covid patients are primarily admitted because they are unwell due to the virus. Separate figures show just 20 Britons are dying from the virus each day now.

It would be interesting to know just how many of the 20 deaths each day which are attributed to the rona have been jabbed.
You can be sure it’s most if not all. It would be headline news if it were otherwise.
The MHRA has stopped counting vaxxed vs unvaxxed as soon as they realised the hospitals were filling up with vaxxed, deaths were amongst the vaxxed, the majority of positive Covid’s were among the vaxxed. Nothing has changed. Isn’t it sad when your own government and its “health experts”. Cannot admits they were WRONG. What has it cost this nation in lives and money?
All of them?
I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
With dangerous freedom life’s never dull.
With peaceful slavery you’re bored as hell, literally

Which
idiotsindividuals are doing all the damn, not-to-be-trusted tests?Stop searching, ya fruitcakes.
It’s pretty amazing how many in the population have been trained like lab rats to now rush out and get a test the moment they feel a bit ill.
There are no limits on stupidity.
People going to hospital appointments often do a test. A friend did 2 weeks ago and got the dreaded positive. She cancelled everything and kept out people’s way. She feels absolutely fine and admits that if she hadn’t done the test she’d never know. Of course, she feels that if she hadn’t done the test she’d be out there spreading it…
There is a similar story from one of our neighbours who does a test before going to church or anything connected to church. The minister of the church told them they had to do tests and being Good People they do.
All for a disease so deadly you have to take a test to know you have it. Shocking how utterly stupid the masses are.
Indeed but important things like holidays or social events coming up require vigilance and keeping up with vaccinations. Telling people you test regularly is important to.
Not to be a pr*ck but actually, there are plenty of deadly diseases that need tests to find out if you have them. Cancer for one.
It’s a good line and the idea it tries to convey is a good one, but it needs working on.
Maybe… a disease so deadly that you need a test to find out if you’ve had it.
Deadly diseases like cancer, AIDS and diabetes aren’t communicable flu-like respiratory illnesses. Sorry for stating the obvious here… The point is ironically when nearly the entire population has been nudged to the point that they can no longer think logically or critically that they have to test for a disease whose symptoms kill rather than go by how they feel – like we have for millennia.
Jeremy Vine isn’t the worst human being I know of, but he’s in the bottom ten.
Just for a laugh I listened to The Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2 for a few minutes the other day. He was talking on the phone to a blind man. He signed off the call with
“Nice to meet you. Nice to see you”
I had my humble opinion confirmed again that Jeremy Vine is a vacuous cretin.
If you’re on twitter, reading the responses to his pathetic tweet will give you the best laugh you’ll have all week.
I had a read. I had a laugh. Thanks for the heads up !
Curiously, covid is resurfacing in France right now also. Sceptical commentators point out that cases were worse in April, so given attention now is a political choice. Something to do with Macron losing his grip ? Is the covid monster stirring elsewhere on the planet ??
There may well be a political element to news/politicians hyperventilating over the summer cold doing the rounds, but corona infections are rising in a number of countries – NL has seen increases in positive tests, but also in hospital admissions, Israel says it’s on its 6th wave. Our Amanuensis (who unfortunately seems to have disappeared since the DS changed its format, although hopefully he still pops by from time to time) has a substack called Bartrams Folly. He has a few articles where he discusses his view that corona is now on a particular time cycle and waves will occur every so often, he predicted the current wave. He thinks the excess vaxxing with a leaky vaxx will have brought about never-ending waves.
I’m probably not explaining it correctly, by all means have a look at his substack. I suspect the harping on about it now is to get us ready for the autumn when another wave will undoubtedly rock up and as schools start again and days get shorter and weather gets colder we will see more people getting sick with respiratory ailments, as we always do at that time of year, and the power-hungry politicians will see cause to get restrictions going because – well, because they like abusing their powers and because they and their buddies can make a lot of money out of thieving from the rest of us.
Do you think that with each wave the number of sceptical people grow or the population’s acceptance of a permanent world of measures grows?
I.e. do you think we are closer to people just shrugging it off and governments realising that there is no mileage in indulging the corona fear porn or closer to indoor masking systematically every autumn/winter?
I think the number of sceptical people grow. It is starting to look and feel absurd and more and more people know it. It helps that they started pushing the minkypox and polio, the BS on that reeks so much it leaps off the paper/screen. The vaxx scam is pretty much running its course too. It’s not only that it doesn’t work, as time goes by and more and more vaxxed people get sick and end up in hospital and die, the more people will realise that even that dubious claim was BS. Vax after vax and still the lurgy circulates and still people get sick…
The best right now is Pfauchi – he claims to be 4x vaxxed and to have taken pfaxlovid. Whether or not that is true is irrelevant – he now has covid, has said himself that he’s suffering the pfaxlovid rebound (it’s already been admitted that particular poison doesn’t work in the vaxxed), so by taking pfaxlovid despite being 4x jabbed he’s saying he doesn’t believe the jabs will keep him safe and he’s now publicly said that pfaxlovid doesn’t work. When The Science himself says the garbage ain’t working, I’d say it’s pretty much over. He may not think that’s what he said, but it is.
Imo, the only reason the ma cons and turdopes of this world are still pushing is because they’re getting a cut, be it from pharma, from big tech, whatever – and because they know they are for the high jump when people really realise exactly what’s happened.
Here in NL the health minister has said if there is a new lockdown, there will be no money for businesses forced to lockdown. He has also stated categorically he refuses to expand hospital/ICU capacity (before the excuse was they didn’t have time to train people, now they’re saying they simply won’t do the one thing that would help). If they lockdown again, there will be court cases which I think this time around the government will not win. I also think very few businesses will comply.
Good. Why are the NL still the only country in Europe officially banning the unvaccinated brits though?
(I say officially, apparently you can present a recovery ‘certificate’, which I have procured so my trip there next week should be ok – I will report back).
At a guess, because PM Rutte is Brussels’ beetch. And one of the coalition partners, D66, is one of the biggest EU whores going, pretty much every member would sell all their grannies down the river to please Brussels. So, along with France, NL is engaged in a ‘stick it to the UK over Brexit’ mode, having entirely forgot about who occupied it and who liberated it – and having forgot the fact that the UK was probably the best friend NL had inside the EU, which uses NL as a whipping boy, a scapegoat and a piggy bank. But hey, 2 former Dutch politicians are getting fabulously wealthy off the ‘green’ scam in Brussels, it’s only natural that lots more are drooling at that prospect.
For what it’s worth, a friend of mine came over from the UK end of May on the Eurostar. He said some French officials asked where he was going, when he said NL they just waived him through, but stopped the people behind him to check, as they were going to France. For the rest he was never asked anything on the way over.
Yes, I went to Belgium earlier this week, and I noted the same. They didn’t check the girl going to Amsterdam. I might be flying though (otherwise I’d just say Brussels, and get waved past).
I’m not sure who it was…Claire Craig I think, who pointed out that ‘the next outbreak’ tends to correlate with the dropping off of efficacy of the last booster…
Maybe the numpties will realise that, as we said, they are now in an endless cycle of jab/infection….all of their own making….
Is this ‘legend in his own lunch time’ Jeremy Whine? That well known immunologist who proves the aphorism that “It’s better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are stupid rather than open it and prove the point”. I’m sure that it’s just a coincidence that he and the BBC’s house journal are banging on at the same time; trying to drum up viewers/readers for their failing organisations.
I wouldn’t walk down the garden to pi55 on him if he was on fire.
He’s a cretin – in my humble opinion
-see above.
( A “useful idiot” )
5 mins 58 secs onward…..an beautiful critique of Mr Vine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sv6afYIVUU
How is it ok that a non-medic, non-scientist presenter can advise the most vulnerable medically. If one was to tweet advice to the contrary it would be immediately met with “You’re not a doctor, scientist etc…”. The mere fact that no one is questioning the likes of Vine and Ryan shows just how far our society has surrendered to tyranny.
Vine & his crew will all be Jabbed to the Max ! That’s the story surely !
Hopefully
Jeremy Vine, the same immoral, fascist, ignorant moron that ran a show about whether the unvaxxed should be locked in their homes and excluded from society? That Nazi-value loving Jeremy Vine? Now saying “100% of our presenters have got it.” (Covid). Jabs obviously work then!
These people are extremely dangerous and the real scourge on society; they need to be purged from it..
Worse than that, he actually contemplated on whether the unvaxxed needed to be held down and vaxxed.
Hope somebody reminds him about that.
I’m really trying hard not to gloat….
We should all take medical advice from the BBC, ITV, Jeremy Vine, and the Guardian. The fact that they go on making these types of medical recommendations unchecked shows just how far society has been nudged…
Currently I have a temperature of 38.2, cough and runny nose. Managing with over the counter medications. Not testing as it makes not a blind bit of difference to my self management. Keeping a close eye on blood sugar levels as I’m type 2 diabetes and infection can increase blood sugar.
Are you not even the teensiest bit curious though? I can’t help myself. I had had a cold recently and I did test. I obviously didn’t do anything with the result anyway.
I’m interested to know if it’s possible for a an unvax like myself to get omicron again. I had it back in March, so am assuming I am now immune to current circulating strains, but that is just an assumption.
No. Why? I got a pseudocold (hoarse voice, bit of a sore throat, runny noise for a couple of days) at about the time when the current Sars-CoV2-variant-subvariants where starting to be hyped. On balance, that was probably again COVID (it felt pretty similar to its predecessors, only yet more micro) but why would I want to know fore- and surnames of harmless, endemic viruses infecting my body?
Jeremy Vine tweets that he and his colleagues have a cold, and on that basis calls for totalitarianism. You couldn’t write it.
Of the several dozen things that are wrong with Jeremy Vine, having a cold is the least significant.
A dangerous individual packaged up to look like an effeminate goofball; how easily are the masses seduced.
So monkeypox didn’t scare people enough and people are bored of the Ukraine war (which the Russians are winning – oh well, at least us and those peace-loving Saudi’s are still winning the war against Yemen – by blowing the living daylights out of the people there), so now we’re back to terrorising people over that mild flu that’s going around.
Please self-isolate for the rest of your life Jeremy, you’re “spreading it” (unnecessary fear and propaganda that is). Then when you finally are killed by whatever fatal disease is going to be going round next, there is a very special place in hell for you to look forward to.
…couldn’t help thinking yesterday when I read the news that the UK is increasing its defence spending, that past Governments and definitely this one have spent decades making sure no one will ever want to ‘fight’ for a country they don’t recognise any more…..they don’t know what a woman is for goodness sake….they have ripped-up all of our democratic freedoms…while making sure that feeling proud or patriotic is considered nothing more than ‘white privilege’…………then this cretin….who you know makes more money than genuine hard working people….
God….sometimes you just think the bombs aught to drop!
I suggest a challenge to Frances Ryan and the idiot Vine to a public debate with two leading lockdown sceptic journalists and then we shall see who comes up on top. Will they agree? They would probably pretend to go down with long Onioncron or worse to excuse themselves from such an encounter.
Having had a good chuckle watching his pathetic pillow performance, I found it interesting that he only mentions women being locked up….. ‘lock up your daughters’…’chain your mother to the bed’…..not very inclusive Jeremy and rather..ahem..disturbing

Well said!
I’ve nothing further to add about this disgusting cretin nor the sheep that follow him other than to say it is encouraging to read the comments about him in the Mail online.
Well worth a look.
Maybe there’s hope for us after all…
Strange how all these people catching covid are fully-vaccinated. I don’t see why anybody should listen to vine’s advice either, since he is not a doctor or a medical person in any capacity. Neither is he a scientist. Would you trust a TV presenter to perform any other task they are patently not qualified to perform?
As long as everyone else is moved out of the way, I reckon that Vine would be brilliant at bomb defusal. We should at least send him to the Ukraine and let him have a go – he might save a few lives – either he is blown to bits (saving many people’s lives from his propaganda and divisive bollocks) or he might actually diffuse the bomb, in which case someone else won’t get blown up.
If the latter happens, he could do that on a permanent basis instead of polluting the radio waves with his vile garbage,.
Sounds like a plan
“Cut the red wire Jeremy, the RED wire”…….BOOOOM!!!
“Sorry bud, meant to say the blue wire, oops”.
Never mind.
Seconded.
He isn’t trying to give advice. He’s trying to spread (or rather, recreate) COVID panic. That worked out nicely the first time, hence, why not try it once more? Eg, we all know that vulnerable people is horseshit, as this is about the risks we all face. He’s trying to reach the same gullible people who fell for this in March 2020 in the hope to pull the UK back into Corona-mania one inch at a time.
This guy urgently needs to be deplatformed from the BBC as a public broadcaster isn’t supposed to enage in lopsided political propaganda in the ultimate interest of foreign powers, ie China. And then, he should be put alone into a room with 20 – 40 people who had their lives ruined by him and his ilk and see if he can talk his way out of it again.
These people won’t stop until they have realized that they’ll have to look nervously over their shoulders whenever they hear steps approaching for the remainder of their lives unless they do. They’re intentionally trying to harm others as good as they can.
His brother Tim is funny !
“Jeremy Vine Says the Vulnerable Should Stay Indoors Again and Shield”
If and when the sheeple wake up Vine will be one of the vulnerable and he’ll need more than a ruddy shield to protect him.
Another article highlighting a msm character. Please stop giving these characters time and attention. They have shown themselves to be out of touch and ignorant of all the covid data and research at our disposal.
For as long as this guy has an audience, he’s dangerous. The horror of March 2020 also started with MSM influencers pushing baseless and increasingly shrill hysteria for weeks on end. Johnson has all but promised these people that they can have their COVID measures back as soon as a sufficient pretext has been found[*], ie, a dangerous new variant. UKHSA is already trying to play this game by labelling the latest, minor Omicron mutations (they’re meanwhile down to subvariants of subvarians in other parts of the world) variants of concern, the WHO keyword for up and coming new Corona thing.
[*] Specifically, he stated that, in a democracy, ignoring what important voter groups seem to want isn’t possible, be it erecting concentration camps for the currently most-hated outgroup. This implies that his idea of democracy is actually mob rule.
