Here we go again. According to the Mail, “experts” (from Independent SAGE, naturally) have called for everyone to be eligible for another Covid booster amid fears the new “concerning” Pirola Covid variant could overwhelm the NHS.
Some pharmacies have also already run out of Covid tests, as health officials urged Brits to stay alert to the new strain.
It comes less than 24 hours after health officials U-turned again on the autumn Covid and flu jab drive start date, bringing it forwards from October to September 11th.
And in another sign the authorities are taking the heavily mutated strain, Pirola, known scientifically as BA.2.86, more seriously, officials also confirmed Covid testing and community surveillance would be “scaled up” ahead of this winter.
But MPs today called for calm and warned against “running down any rabbit holes of fear”.
There is currently no evidence that Pirola is any more of a threat than the dozens of strains that have come before it.
But scientists have called for a return of pandemic mitigation measures, including mask wearing, and increased ventilation because of the virus’ resurgence.
Dr. Trisha Greenhalgh, an internationally-renowned expert in primary care [and noted Covid alarmist], based at the University of Oxford, also suggested everyone should be made eligible for a jab.
The professor, who is also a member of Independent SAGE, a group of academics that called for No. 10 to adopt an Australian-style Covid elimination strategy early on in the pandemic, tweeted: “Might be a good idea to vaccinate everyone.”
Others have instead urged Ministers to re-consider vaccine eligibility criteria, after the Government ditched plans earlier this month to offer the jabs to under-65s this winter.
Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at Warwick University, told MailOnline: “It stresses the need to keep an eye on Covid infections as we enter the autumn and winter.
“With people returning to work and schools reopening after the summer break, we need to raise awareness of the risks of infection particularly for the most vulnerable.
“The Government should expedite the autumn vaccination campaign and extend this to people below the age of 65.
“There should also be more public information alerting folk to the fact that Covid has not gone away and that other mitigations — face masks, increased ventilation — will be necessary over the coming months.”
Health officials are spooked by Covid strain, Pirola, that is quickly spreading globally due to its catalogue of mutations.
BA.2.86 carries an array of more than 30 mutations on its spike protein, which is the part of the virus that vaccines were designed to target.
Several have unknown functions but others are thought to help the virus evade the immune system.
Earlier this month, UKHSA advisers admitted the variant was a concern and revealed its “rapid appearance” suggested “established international transmission”.
Just to make sure we get the point, the Mail kindly embeds a clip of Sir Jeremy Farrar from the Covid Inquiry telling us we’re living in a “pandemic age”. With Farrar now Chief Scientist at the World Health Organisation – the international body with the sole power to declare a pandemic – one suspects this may be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Give it a rest, will you.
Craig Mackinlay, MP for South Thanet, attempted to inject some calm into the mounting hysteria. He told MailOnline:
New Covid fears on the back of a new potential variant are already becoming over-inflated.
With the Covid Inquiry not likely to report for some years the best we can do is look at countries like Sweden and some U.S. states that didn’t have such an extreme response to the Covid period.
I certainly hope we won’t be running down any rabbit holes of fear and hyperbole this time. We need to treat Covid in whatever new form it takes as just another form of flu.
The country cannot afford further lockdowns or for the NHS to grind to a halt.
Probably not worth reading in full.

Love it. Thanks
As someone wrote here, it is a payola variant.
In the US it is the 4 year election-scariant.
Mail in votes, ballot stuffing, db record flipping – there is nothing the election-scariant can’t do.
Let’s hope the great British public aren’t as stupid this time around.
Only the hardcore Kool-Aid addicts will rock up for this. They’re on a par with meth heads and fentanyl junkies, it’s just a different way of poisoning yourself.
Should the government adopt any of this, public mass compliance of the masses of bandwagonists can be taken for granted who’ll continue to break every COVID rule in private, just as they did before. Only singles, care home residents and pupils will again be thoroughly f***ed. Unimportant minorities, thankfully.
100%. 60% will comply. Happily. Diapered, Stabbed, Locked down. The main conclusion from round 1 is that most people are stupid. Rona 1 was a pilot project.
40% non-compliance with lockdown diktats should make them unenforceable.
So true
My biggest fear, seriously, is that they are!
I agree!
Looks like the sheeple of the uk are lining up at the gate again ready to be dipped!
Fecking dumb ar$es!
don’t hold your breath
Less will be for sure, but sadly the ratio of stupid to smart is rather higher than we’d like to believe.
If 25% of people simply say NO to any restrictions, that should be enough
I’ve been a Paramedic for 22 years now.
Here’s what I’ve learnt:
The BIGGEST threat to your health is the medical profession itself.
Yep, fine example… Diabetes is 110 billion doller a year industry, do you think they want a cure… On the contrary, what’s promoted is the wrong diet.. Let’s maintain the insulin dependancy…
HIV, Polio, Swine flu, Opioids, the normal stabs – endless array of drugs….During the scamdemic I researched some specific counties and cities – in most places including our own town, more people died from opioid overdoses than from Rona.
Add in Midazolam, Remdesivir, Morphine….
Victorian doctors cured Diabetes mellitus with a diet of beef and water.
aka NO CARBS NO SUGAR
Funny, I met a paramedic of similar age recently (I say met – I’d called an ambulance) who was also not keen on the covid panic – it wasn’t you was it?! It’s nice to know there are a few about.
What county do you live in?
I have to be careful, saying anything bad against the Doctors or questioning Covid would almost certainly get me my P45 if management found out.
Dorset.
It wasn’t me but there’s at least 2 Paramedics in the NHS who questioned Covid!
You should set up some sort of resistance network!
“Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.”
Well that’s me done then. Tara!
DM have pretty much recycled yesterday’s article under a new headline – perhaps because yesterday’s version attracted many hundreds of btl comments suggesting various imaginative and novel uses for the vax. Which are being repeated today. I do hope the responses are being fed back to E77wood’s chums.
“E77wood’s”
I like that. Clever.
Thank you, and I’ll assume the downtick means he’s not amused!
Good luck trying to get the public to take yet another covid booster.
Not happening. Not en masses anyway.
They might be able to force it some poor care home residents but that’s about it I reckon.
Sadly, I have to disagree – a group I hang out with every week (mainly superannuated retirees) are salivating over their forthcoming flu and covid jab appointments and I’ve noticed a marked uptick in mask wearing in public. I also have a chum (retired district nurse) who is gearing up for another assault on the poor nursing home inmates. It’s really disheartening.
As far as I’m concerned, anyone who is looking forward to their next covid shot is welcome to it and absolutely deserve to get it.
Do you mean deserve what they get? Some definately will.
I even persuaded one of my golfing partners to stop taking these retched things. Just hope the rest see the light as well.
Another scariant requires another newly-tweaked bioweapon. The bit the scamsters don’t want you to know though is that the XBOXOMG1.5+ has now left the building so the death jabs are already obsolete. Instead it has been eclipsed by the BS/FFS365.24.7++ version, which I fear will be with us for some time.
”The EU’s drug watchdog on Wednesday approved an updated version of Pfizer and BioNTech‘s anti-Covid jab to counter an infectious subvariant of the virus as winter approaches.
The World Health Organisation in May said it no longer considered Covid-19 a global health emergency, but the virus is still circulating — and new variants are being tracked.
The European Medicines Agency said it “has recommended authorising an adapted Comirnaty vaccine targeting the Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant”.
The EMA in June recommended that vaccines be updated to target the XBB strain of the virus which have become dominant in Europe and other parts of the world.
Known as Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5, the mRNA vaccine is to be used to prevent Covid-19 in adults and children from six months.
Adults and children over five require a single shot “irrespective of their Covid-19 vaccination history” while younger children may get “one or three doses depending on whether they have completed a primary vaccination course or have had Covid-19” the Amsterdam-based EMA said.”

Oh and this doesn’t look remotely suss does it? I mean, those pesky product info inserts that we’ve been fine with for umpteen years now are suddenly not to be tolerated? Don’t know if this will be rolled out in other countries or just Australia…
”From 1 September 2023, printed Product Information (PI) inserts won’t be required in the packaging of injectable medicines administered by health professionals. Approved PIs for all these products will still need to be available on our website.
This change only affects injectable products administered by health professionals. This includes nurses, pharmacists and doctors. Vaccines are an example of injectable medicines administered by health professionals.
Injectable products used by patients or their carers will still come with a copy of the PI.
This decision follows public consultation and feedback from stakeholders, including industry and health professionals.
PIs provide scientific information about the safe and effective use of prescription medicines. They are mainly used by healthcare professionals.”

Mogs, you are a star.

“But scientists have called for a return of pandemic mitigation measures, including mask wearing, and increased ventilation because of the virus’ resurgence. “
Personally my position remains
A filthy habit and terrible for the environment.
And never forget that the Mail chose to print a particularly nasty column by that former health secretary Man.
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
The worrying thing is that I would predict that it will still be the same 15% (roughly) who see through all the bollocks, but that the remaining 85% will go along with whatever the media and government tells them.
Sad – and I hope that I am proved to be very mistaken.
“U-turned again on the autumn Covid and flu jab drive start date, bringing it forwards from October to September 11th. “
How appropriate. 11 year anniversary from the last great psyop.
Miri Finch is suggesting that the nasal anti-flu gunk to be given to all schoolchildren under 17 this Autumn will be designed to harm them because ill children will panic the gullible thick masses in a way that a repeat of ill old people being euthanased wouldn’t.
Miri has also drafted a letter for parents to send to schools to remove consent for their children to be sprayed with this gunk

Thank you for the link.
This is a superb easy to understand summary of fundamental virology/immunology as it applies to SARS – and every other UR viral infection.
ALL doctors and medics should be made to read it.
I’d say the same for our wonderful M.P.’s – but doubt that they have the necessary intellect to understand any of it.
It won’t wash. They have shot their bolt.
Nobody I know- mainly Covidians first time round – is talking about this.
I’m so scared. Just bought a box of 300 face masks. Should keep me going for a week…
I’d re-sell them individually wrapped for a 100x markup.

Or, putting this into plain English, Independent Jackass – once famously smearing the GBD as strawman because Nobody wants another lockdown!! despite having lobbyied for one for a fortnight already by the time the statement was made – wants another full lockdown this autumn, preferably to be lifted never again, and again plans to use It’s just a mask! to get a foot in the door.
By now, these people are fully aware of the lethal consequences of their pet policies and hence, it’s justified to say that they’re planning to murder innocents to further their political goals. This needs to be ended once and for all. The Trish and her accomplices belong behind bars at the very minimum.
So true. This time around, too many people have been red-pilled to fall for that again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Is it a coincidence that some schools will be closed because they might fall down?
Schools closed on a government whim sounding familiar?
Part of the ”L” in plandemic?
I just posted on an earlier article about Tuckers summing up of his Governments self induced Predicament & his fears that their get out of jail card will be direct War with Russia ! Pirola will matter not !!…
Seriously, NEVER AGAIN! DO NOT COMPLY!
The last named variant that I recall was called ‘Eris’. It obviously wasn’t good enough to maintain the fear porn.
They’re still doing first order omicron mutations. My guess would that they’ll unleash a real barrage of those in the hope that this will impress someone. The basic ‘argument’ is still There’s something we don’t know !! Therefore, we must … !!!
“Some pharmacies have also already run out of Covid tests,”
Why the F are people still taking these unreliable spurious tests? Surely no tests no Covid – simples.
“Some pharmacies have also already run out of Covid tests,”
If the pharmacy businesses can keep selling tests then why would they stop? Looks like a supply chain management cock-up.
It’s nothing to do with the NHS. It’s the Marxist Democrats in the USA trying to rig the 2024 elections with fraudulent postal votes. This was always predictable come election season.
We are not in the USA. And hence, US domestic politics really don’t matter to us. Try to get that into your head at some point in time.
You pathetic gullible child ….. The systemic corruption runs so deep, in the USA, that Biden will go to war with Russia to ensure that the Dems stay in power (the Dems *will* go as far as suspending elections).
I don’t care. The only action of a US government I would really care about would be restoring Germany as souvereign state. And no US governemt will do that, regardless of the party the current president belongs to. I particularly don’t care about the War with Russia! scare stories Biden’s opponents are employing all the time. Theses are probably the descendants of the faction which helped to esablish the Russian panislavist empire in eastern middle Europe after the 2nd world war. Which means I actually do care about that, just not in the intended way, namely, by taking note of the fact that some US political factions are even more dedicated enemies of my country than
others.
Friends and allies galore …
Do notlisten to SAGE, they were completely wrong last time and deserve to be made into fried onion. They are all in receipt of pharma money one way or another. This is not about health, excess deaths still not on the agenda. Where is SAGE there? That is a shocking pandemic (being every country which used the jab!).
Please treat covid like other diseases and spell it with a small c. Examples: poliomyelitis, influenza, tuberculosis and so on. There is no reason to treat covid any differently. There is every reason why this publication should take the lead on this practice. It is astonishing how the correct spelling diminishes the power of this scaremongering.
Excellent point, thanks for pointing this out. Our enemies are constantly misusing language deliberately to nudge people into believing their lies.
”Some pharmacies have also already run out of Covid tests, as health officials urged Brits to stay alert to the new strain.”
Likely they were not keeping stocks, so just a few mindless morons could easily empty shelves.
The doctors go on strike and then we all have to stay home, wear masks and get jabbed because the NHS might get overwhelmed?
