I’m mostly interested in Mike Pence’s book So Help Me God for what he says about the experience of Covid controls, for this is what wrecked the administration he served. That will be my focus in what follows but let me first address what everyone is right now thinking: how could anyone give their autobiography such a self-serving filiopietistic title?
I don’t have the answer but he certainly leans in. He must have hired an editor to sprinkle the text as much as possible with Bible verses and other invocations of his deep connection to transcendent concerns, all of which serves as a helpful cover for what he actually did.
And what did he do? From the Birx book, the Kushner book, the WashPo book, and every other of the insider accounts we have so far, he provided cover to Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx and Robert Redfield in their drive to convince Trump of lockdown orders, and then protected the lockdown crew in their national drive to push controls long after Trump had lost the faith. Later, he stuck the knife in deeper and then bailed.
We know that this is true now from his own account. To be sure, his main theme is that the Trump administration, thanks to him and his spiritual maturity, did almost everything correct in 2020. Then the Biden administration showed up and messed everything up using a ‘top-down’ and public-sector approach that the Trump administration rejected. This is a brazenly partisan take at multiple levels.
As he summarises (emphasis mine throughout):
We reinvented testing from a standing start, produced and distributed billions of pieces of personal protective equipment, and manufactured tens of thousands of ventilators. In nine short months we developed three safe and effective vaccines; when we left office in January 2021, we were vaccinating a million Americans a day. Together, we saved millions of lives in the greatest national mobilisation since World War II. It took all of us, the whole of Government, the whole of America. But we did it. Only in America.
There is no evidence, obviously, of this claim that “we saved millions of lives,” but I’ve come to expect this sort of language. ‘Saved millions of lives’ has become a rhetorical stand-in for: please do not criticise my appalling failure. And by the way, the line ‘Only in America’ is deployed constantly throughout the book but this too is ridiculous. The lockdowns and deployment of other NPIs were global in scope. He surely knows this so the phrase is just more self-serving jingoism, which he must assume plays to his potential voting base.
He claims, of course, that the decision to block China was his idea and Trump went along with it:
If this virus, COVID-19, was pouring out of China, we had to try to cut off its ability to reach us. I sensed, though, how unprecedented and likely subject to wide-ranging criticism doing that would be. As the conversation in the Oval Office reached its conclusion, for the President’s benefit, I asked members of the task force, “Has any president in American history ever suspended all travel from another country?” The answer was no. Trump sat back in his chair, pondered all that he had heard, and made a decision: the United States would temporarily suspend all travel from China.
Goodness, how could he have been so smart and far-seeing?
What gave me confidence was that I had been a Governor and had gone through two different health crises, one including the first MERS case in the United States and the other an HIV/AIDS epidemic in a small Indiana town. I had seen firsthand how the state and federal governments could work together during a health crisis. I understood and readily accepted the challenge.
Oh, and also God and country was at his side:
I stood up, walked out of the Oval Office, headed down the hallway, and pulled the team together in my West Wing office for my first meeting as head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Not knowing what lay ahead, we bowed our heads and opened that first meeting in prayer. From that moment a seriousness settled on me that was nothing short of God’s grace. I didn’t know what was ahead, but I knew America would rise to the occasion.
Also Pence rescued Americans from a cruise ship. I kid you not. This is what he believes. Can you even imagine? Here you are on a delightful cruise and a flu starts going around. Too bad but hey people get sick. Stay on the upper deck and get some sun! Then the helicopters arrive to ‘rescue’ you when you are merely trying to enjoy a vacation. Here is Pence’s account of his own heroics:
As other nations shut down travel in February, almost ninety-five thousand Americans were left stranded abroad. The task force launched a rescue mission to bring them home safely. A number of Americans who were unable to get back home were on cruise ships… The task force launched a complicated mission to evacuate the passengers, many of them elderly and vulnerable. We coordinated with air force bases in California, Texas, and Nebraska to receive the passengers, who had to be safely transported off the ship and into quarantine on the bases.
You know, that sounds kind of like kidnapping or hostage-taking or something. I doubt seriously that the passengers appreciated being ‘rescued’ in such a way only to be forcibly quarantined. All of this speaks to something extremely strange about these days, the conflation of an infectious-disease outbreak with a military operation requiring martial law and extreme invasions of liberty and property.
As Debbie Lerman has proven, this is exactly what happened. Sorry to say but Pence, knowingly or not, was at the centre of it. As even he says, “It was important, then, to have not just public health and national security officials involved in the decision-making…”
Pence further takes credit for solving the testing debacle. Birx was running around freaking out that we needed millions and billions of tests, else everyone would die. Pence stepped up with his astonishing leadership skills:
Thirty minutes later, the CEOs of America’s biggest testing companies were all on the line, including Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics. We explained the testing crisis and made it clear that we wanted the industry to work together. I told them that the pharmaceutical companies would have to create a consortium to work together to develop medicines and vaccines and I wanted the diagnostic companies to do the same. They were eager to help and said they would discuss it in a meeting of the industry to take place the next day. “Can you all be at the White House later this week?” I asked. They all said yes, they would be there. I hung up. Birx was in disbelief. “How did you do that?” she asked. “Welcome to the White House,” I said.
Wow, such drama! What happened next?
I told them, “Make as many tests as quick as you can, and the federal Government will buy them from you. Make a billion a month if you can.” And with that we launched an effort to redesign testing.
Yes, you can roll your eyes.
Also, Pence is the reason we had so many masks! He was campaigning around the country when God spoke to him:
As I was thinking about the nation’s supply of personal protective equipment, I realized that Minnesota was home to 3M, which happens to be the nation’s largest producer of masks. It was God’s timing. I asked Birx and Stephen Hahn, the director of the FDA, to come along. We got onboard Air Force Two and landed in Minnesota on our way to Seattle.
What a man! Then what happened?
I knew [CEO Roman] Walz from Congress – we had been in the House together – and our governorships had overlapped. I asked them how 3M could increase its production of masks. Roman explained that the company produced 35 million masks a month, but only 10% were for hospital use; all the rest were for construction workers. “But are they essentially the same mask?” I asked. The answer was yes. “Great, then, can we just purchase those for hospital use?” No, I was told, the masks had not been approved for medical use by the FDA. The company could be sued if they were used in hospitals. “What’s the answer here?” I asked. Roman explained that if 3M could be afforded legal protection by Congress, we could sell them across the country. So after the meeting ended, I grabbed Walz by the elbow. I told him he would have to call Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer – Congress was quickly putting together a Covid emergency bill – and tell them we needed the Democratic leaders to put language into a bill that would provide temporary protection for companies such as 3M to sell their masks for medical use, which he did. With that reform alone we went from having 3 million N95 masks available to 20 million when Trump signed the bill a week later.
A better saviour for the country one cannot imagine! And yet he was more than just an incredibly competent testing and mask master. He was also a spiritual counselor to the President’s son-in-law!
Shortly after I took over the task force, Jared Kushner approached me. He told me he was dropping everything he was working on to help me in whatever way I needed…. Two weeks in, on the evening of Sunday March 15th, he called me. When I heard his voice on the other end, I could tell he was discouraged about the challenges we were facing in ramping up testing, getting enough medical supplies distributed, and coordinating that effort at the ground level. “We can’t do this from the White House,” he confessed. “It’s too much, we will never be able to meet the needs.” “You want me to make you feel better?” I asked, not even waiting for his answer. “We don’t have to,” I said. “The framers of the Constitution gave us a system of 50 CEOs leading states across the country.… We just need to make sure they have what they need, and they will get it done.” To that, he sighed in relief, saying, “I hadn’t thought of it that way,” adding, “You know what? You’re right!”
Is there no problem this man cannot solve? The answer is obviously no, if we are to believe his autobiographical account.
He further proves this on the subject of ventilators, which he knew from his extensive experience in hospital therapeutics that we desperately needed.
When it came to the matter of the nation’s ventilator supply, we faced another shortage with dire consequences. In severe cases of covid, the patients’ lungs become so inflamed that they can no longer deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. Ventilators provided a lifeline to the lungs while patients fought off the virus. The Strategic National Stockpile hadn’t been refilled since the H1N1 influenza outbreak in 2009, and at the outset of the year, we had ten thousand ventilators on hand. It wasn’t nearly enough. In the first few weeks, we had requests for 55,000 ventilators from the states. If there was anything that kept me up at night, it was the idea that any American who needed a ventilator could be denied a ventilator.
All you widows out there whose husbands were vented to death in those days – we might be talking many thousands – are surely comforted to know that Pence lost sleep worrying that there weren’t enough. And you can predict the ending of the ventilator vignette: Pence got the ventilators we supposedly needed but actually did not.
As for his relationship with Fauci, it was tight. He has no words of criticism at all.
And I was glad [Fauci] was there. He was a reassuring voice to the public; Mitch McConnell had advised me, correctly, that Fauci would be a valuable member of the team because of his stature. He and Dr. Birx had known each other for years; they had almost a mentor and mentee relationship. Fauci played an invaluable role in helping the President and our team understand the true scope of the threat… I always worked well with Tony, as he was keen to stay in his own important lane. He offered his expertise and advice, but in all our dealings he always recognised that there were economic and social factors to consider in the President’s decisions. I never thought his role was to lead the Government’s response to the pandemic or be its point person, and neither did he.
That takes us to the lockdowns. Here is Pence’s justification:
By the second week of March 2020, with cases on the rise in several major cities and the threat of an outbreak that could overwhelm our health care system, the task force took a plan to the President, developed by Fauci and Birx, to shut down much of the U.S. economy for two weeks. We called it “15 Days to Slow the Spread”. It was a mitigation tactic driven by the knowledge that the virus was extremely contagious. The President urged citizens who could stay home to do so and to avoid interacting with others, and temporarily shut down huge parts of the economy, other than businesses and workers deemed essential. Ramping up testing, bolstering the nation’s supplies of medical equipment, and getting it all to the states was an effort to save our medical system from collapsing under the weight of the virus. The goal of the so-called lockdown was never to stop the spread of the virus; it was to slow it to buy time for the U.S. health care system while its innovators got to work producing supplies and developing a medical arsenal.
Incredible, because none of this is true. The medical system was never collapsing. Hundreds of hospitals furloughed nurses because the hospitals emptied out! This is because the Trump administration issued nationwide orders to reserve hospitals for Covid patients while blocking all diagnostics and elective surgeries. But of course we don’t hear a word of this from Pence’s book.
How does he justify having a central Government under an effective dictatorship issuing a nationwide edict that closed all places where people congregate? It was an incredible and totalitarian dictate. Pence simply says the following: “I believe in limited government; I am not anti-government.”
Oh. And here, so far as he was concerned, government was merely doing what it is supposed to do.
Of course, it was never going to end in two weeks. Pence tells the story:
They informed us that if we failed to keep the mitigation in place for another thirty days, up to 2.2 million Americans could die before the year was out. The graph presented two waves, the worst-case scenario in dark blue, the ‘if we do everything right’ outcome in light blue. The former looked like a mountain; the latter was significantly smaller but still heartbreaking in size. The president digested it all for a quiet moment. It was another hard decision, but he made it. On March 31st, we presented the chart to the American people and extended the 15 Days to Slow the Spread protocol for another 30 days.
The pathology or stupidity here is simply astonishing! They looked at some bogus modeling chart with colors and decided to abolish the Bill of Rights for longer? Yep, that happened and Pence blessed it. So far as I can tell, Pence is not mortified but proud of this decision that ended up tanking the entire Trump presidency. “I know we saved millions of lives,” he says.
I know you are tired of this review already but I must share with you another virtue of Pence. He is also a blessed peacemaker:
In a weekend series of tweets, President Trump called [Michigan Governor] Gretchen “half Whitmer” and said she was “way over her head.” At a Monday press conference, Trump said he told me not to call “the woman in Michigan.” I called her. When I did, she said we had done a great job but she was going to keep pushing for more. I respectfully asked her to talk to me if she needed anything rather than take it to cable television. The next day, President Trump said he had had a “productive conversation” with Whitmer. Blessed are the peacemakers.
What about when the lockdowns were ending but sustained in many places? We know from the records that this was due to nationwide tours by Birx, Redfield, and Fauci who would show up in governors’ offices to urge them to keep schools closed, force everyone to wear masks, and otherwise ban large gatherings. By this time, Trump was fed up with that whole kabuki dance but his team had already gone rogue and tried to keep lockdowns going until November.
How in the world did they get away with this? Guess what? It was Pence and he admits it:
When our press briefings waned, I encouraged Birx and Redfield to visit the states and meet with governors and health officials. I believed that our role was to give our best counsel but respect the state leaders – which we did without fail.
I don’t even need to report that he is enormously proud of the vaccines too, even go so far as to report, without irony, that “they were both nearly 95% effective against contracting covid:”
To have two safe and effective vaccines available to the American people within nine months of the start of a pandemic was a medical miracle. While those research companies are to be commended, so, too, are the leaders of Operation Warp Speed, Moncef Slaoui and HHS assistant secretary Paul Mango, who shepherded the vaccines through the process in record time, and General Gus Perna, who worked with states and American companies such as FedEx to distribute the vaccine across the country before the year was out. The day we left office in 2021, we were vaccinating a million Americans a day. Only in America.
We can stop there and finish by observing that nothing in this book contradicts what we’ve learned over these two years, namely that Mike Pence served as both a carrier pigeon and protecting veil for the national security state that took over the country in March 2020. It was he who gave the okay to Birx’s subversions. It was he who assisted in convincing Trump of the lockdowns. It was he who pushed the panic that led to massive spending, overpurchases of masks and ventilators, he who pushed for the deployment of the Defense Production Act, and he who sent the Navy hospital ship to New York that went unused. And he not only defends all his actions but implies that they were all blessed by God.
And now he encourages us all to stand back in awe and, quite possibly, elect him as the next president. As Pence might say, only in America.

Don’t believe a word of it, just a bit more good cop, bad cop bullshit fed to the media to assuage fears. They all want this, every single one of them.
They tend to talk tough and then wimp out when it matters. Still perhaps better than Starmer and his party of useless turds.
“The Opposition” will support it no doubt.
Indeed, Baker will blubber about it, then go ahead and vote for it, or for another permanent extension of the temporary state of emergency.
I’m hoping this is the issue that forces Tory MP’s to wake up and realise just how far Johnson has pushed the envelope of overreach. This is an existential crisis. They must ask themselves: Are we Conservatives or Communists?
Medical apartheid, a biosecurity state cannot be permitted. Period
Most of them are, first and foremost, party animals. They will vote for whatever puts the most swill in their trough.
All of them, not most; if they weren’t they wouldn’t be MPs because the sheeple cannot think for themselves and are incapable of assessing the worth of independent candidates. As things are, with unqualified universal suffrage, membership of one of the big parties is a sine qua non for a political career, unless you wish to represent Brighton and Hove.

Not more of this shit – the fucking lanyards were bad enough!
The people who vote for this will eventually be regarded and judged by history in the same vein as those who voted for the Jim Crow laws and for the Ermaechtigungsgesetz in 1933 or the Nuremberg Rassengesetz in 1935.
Their descendants will be ashamed of them forever.
A pity that only 50 Tories have any grasp of history and/or an intact moral compass.
You’re right. In days to be, membership of the abject Covid parliament will be considered a mark of shame and criminality, comparable to membership of the SS.
Though one wonders why Piffle doesn’t have a grasp of history.
Why just “history” – his grasp of most things is being manipulated by his appalling wife…
BIG BLUBBER is a spoilt brat grown big. The only thing he needs to understand is how to get what he is entitled to and what fuss to make when he doesn’t.
He does.
I hope that you’re right, given that history is written by the victors.
What if this time they do get communism right? I.e. make it stick.
To paraphrase Churchill, history will think well of them because they will write it. History is what historians say it is and not an incontrovertibly factual record of the past.
Assuming this is true, which seems quite plausible, we know there are some in the cabinet who are not complete COVID lunatics. I think we can guess who. It’s a very small crumb of comfort, but it’s something
The interesting thing is that all pretence that any of what they are doing is now “following the science” has gone out of the window. The debate is purely political. Of course we know it has been political since the start
CDC study shows 74% of people infected in Massachusetts Covid outbreak were fully vaccinated. Vaccinations are ineffective and unsafe. Vaccine passports serve no purpose when the vaccinated are the main carriers of covid.https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/30/cdc-study-shows-74percent-of-people-infected-in-massachusetts-covid-outbreak-were-fully-vaccinated.html
But still they say that Delta affects the unvaccinated worse even though 74% are vaccinated. I think we can be more than fairly sure that the spokesperson is talking utter bollocks.
Wont be long before the twice injected turn on the once injected and then the thrice injected turn on the twice injected etc………Classic divide and rule.
Not too sure whether the thrice vaccinated will be in any condition to turn on anybody.
Quite a number of the twice vaccinated near to us, seem to developing a host of new ailments. Just a coincidence, of course!
i hear that. I know more injected people who have had a range of side effects including a death from the thing than those who have had it but currently seem ok
The future number 1 one cause of death: coincidence.
Reminds me of the classic line from Casablanca.
‘I came here for the waters’
We have all been misinformed.
hard to believe that a low mortality virus/pandemic has created such utter madness. Johnson should ignore what the segregation team are proposing, its not British
Johnson is the problem, not the solution.
Just been researching the vax passport exemptions. It’s wide open. You can self-declare your exemption and no one is allowed to ask for proof. Same as the masks.
It’s bizarre.
Some questions arise:
Does this thereby extend to tests, as it should, and if so, which ones (not)?
What are the international/travelling implications (tests, quarantines, inbound, outbound, acceptance of health passport abroad vs non acceptance of UK exemption abroad)?
Does this provide a way out from ‘no jab, no job’?
Does this provide a way out for care workers and all others where vaccination was or might still be mandated by a separate law?
If the health passport isn’t demanded as proof but the vaccination (document) itself, as likely in the case of private employers, does the same self-exemption option apply (as with masks, otherwise they’d have to formulate their own exemption rules, which must not run foul of the disability act)?
Is it in danger of becoming abolished and changed, or is this watertight for good, due to being based upon and due to common law?
I am sure that there is more, but certainly, this is the best news in quite a while.
I doubt that it will be left as open as the masks thing, especially for international travel and abroad, but even if it is, we’re not safe and we cannot rest until the whole concept and the Big Lie that is behind it is exposed for the evil nonsense it is.
Ideally, people whether they are vaxxed or unvaxxed should simply refuse to take part in any such arrangements. But I can understand people who do, for personal reasons – it won’t be easy for all to opt out.
You’re right – I note that self declaration is available only until the digital framework is available on the NHS Covid Pass App
…however, those without smartphones would surely have to rely on self-declaration otherwise large parts of society would be prohibited.
Can you share that research? Which form of VaxPaz? As far as I’m aware we’re only using it for international travel at the moment, without exemptions.
It might be this:
https://www.nhsx.nhs.uk/covid-19-response/using-the-nhs-covid-pass/
But just as with the masks, it’ll create a nasty, confrontational atmosphere which causes people to just think ‘fuck it’ and not bother to go to places where they might get challenged. And it’ll be the same as masks with jobsworths demanding “proof”.
Hi have you got a link(s)
Dominic Raab wrote a book in 2009 called The Assault on Liberty. I shan’t be reading it.
No point, it’s being played out right in from of us.
The script for what is happening now?
Let’s look at real the World affects of an “Investigatory” emergency use prophylactic:
https://gab.com/vaccineregrets
The narrative is changing. The question is why?
At some point there will be a realisation amongst the big money people, that bigger money can be made out of the absence of a “pandemic” than can be made out of the ongoing presence of one, and then it will all be over.
Big Pharma, Amazon, laptop suppliers, and assorted other multinationals have done very well indeed out of the past 18 months – they won’t be in any hurry for this to end.
Doublethink has a specific purpose: it destroys the ability to think rationally.
The CDC is actually up to triplethink now:
Vaccine passports are needed to segregate the diseased from the pure.
and
Vaccines protect the pure from the diseased.
and
Muzzles are needed to protect the pure from the pure.
If you can believe all those things are true at once, then your social credit score will remain intact, for now. If you feel a twinge of cognitive dissonance, best keep it to yourself.
“Another added: “My concern is that this is destabilising the party. A carrot approach is far better than a stick approach. We shouldn’t be taking people’s liberties away, we should be encouraging them.”
So in short:
And there we have it. The gaping moral vacuum at the heart of the Conservative Party.
Not that the Labour Party is any better.
We need the old Establishment to be dissolved, preferably with nitric acid, and a new Establishment put in its place. One that serves the country, not itself.
“The biggest concern of Conservative MPs is the wellbeing of the Conservative Party, not the wellbeing of the country.”
Yep. same with Labour MP’s, by and large too, as you say. Toe the party line, be good boys & girls, because they’re thinking about their long term political future. Now there is an inherit flaw in this method, which may be worth reminding your MP of because I feel many will have overlooked — the flaw is, it depends upon the party remaining in existence long enough, so that said spineless waste of space MP can realize their future vision!
Hydrofluoric acid would be even better, it is toxic and even dissolves glass.
The peasants are revolting!
When the AFP/Guardian are reporting over 200000 are on the streets of France, you know its more than 2million. When they say the protests are growing, you know they are becoming scared!
And when they try to say that out of that under 15000 were in Paris, you know they are lying and are becoming very scared!
Perhaps Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric would like to stay in Polynesia.
Today Albi, tomorrow Toulouse. Next week Gaillac and Graulhet ( that is where I will be).
Liberté, égalité, fraternité!
The French protesters are our best hope – they can bring down the regime and that will be the first domino to fall.
There were at least 1.2 million in France today. Possibly more, but that’s a safe figure
Facts and data, not narrative and Nudge Unit Psyops.
I see our glorious leader is doing his bit for climate change and the problem of overpopulation by producing yet another sprog. More, do as I say, not as I do from the fat controller.
She’s a scrubber.
He’s old fat and ill
It’s not his.
So if you get your vaccine you can get a free pizza. You’ll still be able to spread it and get it but you’ll have a pizza
Yep. Not sure what the stats are in the UK, but the US CDC says the overwhelming majority (over 75%) of people who were hospitalized or died from covid, were classified as obese… but here, have a donut, taco, king size cheeseburger, pizza, as you say, with your vaxxine — and contribute to rising obesity levels!
What a sad shambles of a government. Here they are, talking about forcing people to undergo unwanted and unnecessary medical procedures, and all the Tories could muster were 50 dissenters… wow…
Speaking of which, imagine the precedent. Imagine if instead of a vaccine we were talking about double D cup sizes. “The Prime Minister has announced today that all women must now have at least a double D cup size in order to qualify for the new boob passport. The PM has further encouraged all large venues, as well as pubs and restaurants, to check everyone’s boob passport and not allow any woman on the premises with a cup size smaller than a double D.” I wonder if people would still be like: “Look, a boob job is harmless. Besides, no one is forcing you to do it. It’s your choice that you don’t want to be allowed into pubs or restaurants…”
“Look, nobody forced you to be homosexual. You could have chosen not to be at any point. Now put on this pink triangle and get in the cattle truck. It’s OK, we passed a law.”
I would support this 100% tbh
Coerced “vaccination” is akin to rape within a relationship, this being a relationship with the government. Those forcing this are no better than rapists.
It doesn’t bother Boris anyway – he knows Labour will support it so the party rebels are worthless.
The complete and utter lack of *any* formal opposition party means he can do whatever the hell he wants.
If those 50MPs felt strongly enough the one thing they could do that would force Boris into listening would be send a letter to the 1922 asking for a leadership contest.
They wont though – they don’t want to lose the cushy job and perks.
Who would take over as leader? Be careful what you wish for. A lot would depend on who the rank and file thought was most electable. Unlikely to be a sceptic. And the PM may well win any such contest.
It would make a shit they are all cunts
I am more optimistic than you Splattt. I bet a fair few letters have gone in already and the trickle will become a flood if BJ and Gove try to push a vaccine passport through Parliament
Its the Covid social credit pass hokey cokey.
We will, we won’t we will, we won’t . All part of the Johnson regime strategy to play with our heads, they won’t stop until they have pleased their Chinese and billionaire masters.
Too much money at stake
This is all theatre. There are no opposition to this. Its a ploy to get people thinking there is hope.
Irrelevant, now that Sir Forensic has slithered off the fence onto the side of Social Credit Score Apps. His position is that they are necessary but not sufficient, and he also wants the biosurveillance to reveal whether we have been tested for the Chinese Virus recently.
They’re coming, chaps, all that remains to be decided is the final name. I’m guessing something nicely newspeak like CitPass or FreeCert.
Raab and Shapps should be taken to the court of Human Rights for their illegal actions
https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/over-100k-breakthrough-cases-kept-quiet-cdc-says-vaxed-can-spread-infection-same-as-unvaxed/
Just watched the health minister of NewSouth Wales going through a ‘scare-um’ list of cases, hospitalisations, intensive care admissions, and ventilated patients, he ended up with the admission that all except one were double vaccinated, the one was only single vaccinated.
All those double vaccinated would get a uk vaccine passport.
Not only that but where breakthrough cases are identified by rtPCR tests ct is <20 so the have high viral load a.k.a. they are highly infectious.
The only reason to give a health passport is if it indicates the holder is not infectious.
I can’t be the only one whose eyes skip over the words ‘Tory Rebellion’, or similar, in just the way my ears mute the muzak in supermarkets?
Hah – trick question. It is, of course, (c) Carrie-on.
“There are concerns across the cabinet about denying people their freedoms.”
Really?! What just ‘concerns’?! And just ‘freedoms’?! How about health and lives and livelihoods and humanity and security and and and.
