YT censorship is both sinister and crazy, but I suppose their rationale for suppressing this is that the article states at the top “This article is a preprint and has not been certified by peer review [what does this mean?]. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice.“

It will be interesting to see whether it is possible to post it when it has been peer-reviewed; always presuming that the peer reviewers don’t go for a spot of “orders from above” censorship themselves. Facts, truths and knowledge are dangerous things in our new Pre-Enlightenment times.

‘National Clinical Director Jason Leitch said the decision to close nightclubs took account of typically younger crowds who may not be vaccinated.

Speaking to the BBC’s Lunchtime Live programme, he said: “The thing that really scares us about this [variant] is its attack rate. That’s why you can hear our tone and our fear rising a little.’

Nobody makes me reach for the mute button on the remote like the Leech does when he appears for his tax-payer funded lectures on TV. I barely even watch anything with ads these days, but when I do, there’s the blood-sucking parasite. He obviously loves his place in the spotlight telling people what to do, and will be very slow to slither back into the relative obscurity that is more fitting for a man of his talents.

Great news. 50% of those with a cold will actually have the C1984. That will push community immunity along nicely.

There is no Omicron, Delta, Alpha and indeed no pandemic. There is just the normal colds and flu that circulate every winter. Some people get it bad and it turns to pneumonia. The old and vulnerable can die from it. Its been happening since the dawn of time, yet now they have decided to utilise this regular event to implement long-planned social, political and economic changes we would never, under normal circumstances, accept.

We need to build back with better passports. Ones that are injected under the skin, close to the heart. If someone has Covid (or is naughty), then they either get injected on the spot and die or their digital money from their account is removed as punishment. And they die.

Tunisian news (important)

1) Vaccine passports (given upon double vaccination) became obligatory in Tunisia yesterday (22 December) for

  • entry into all public spaces (including public transport, restaurants, cultural and sporting venues, mosques, and churches) and
  • for everyone working in the public sector (including schools and universities) and in parts of the private sector too.

2) Given that only about half of the population has been double-vaccinated, either

a) this is not going to work, or
b) the government will have to put the army on the streets.

3) There is some confusion over whether “public spaces” include supermarkets and banks.

4) Amnesty International has called on the Tunisian government to suspend the vaccine pass. Amnesty say it threatens many people’s means of subsistence. For once, Amnesty are absolutely right.

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/12/tunisia-must-halt-covid-vaccine-pass/

Statement by Amnesty International

Tunisia: Authorities must halt implementation of overly restrictive vaccine pass

The Tunisian authorities must halt the implementation, pending amendment, of a new Covid-19 decree-law that will deny anyone aged 18 or above without a vaccine pass access to many public and private spaces, ban them from working in public-sector or salaried private-sector jobs, and – if they are Tunisian citizens – bar them from traveling abroad, Amnesty International said today. 

The new law is set to come into force on 22 December for six months. Although some aspects of Decree-Law 2021-1, which mandates use of the pass, align with international law and World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations, Amnesty International calls on authorities to amend provisions that violate the rights to work and freedom of movement as guaranteed by international law.  

(…)

“The Tunisian authorities must not implement the new decree-law until they have amended it to ensure the vaccine pass requirements do not violate international human rights law by needlessly threatening the livelihoods of Tunisians and inflicting unduly harsh penalties for non-compliance.” 

The new decree-law, which Amnesty International has extensively analyzed, bans public sector and salaried private sector employees from working until they are able to obtain a vaccine pass, with their employers ordered not to pay wages for during the period of suspension. The authorities are also mandated to order businesses that fail to enforce the vaccine pass requirements, with the exception of private health facilities, to close for up to 15 days.  

These penalties could unreasonably undermine the livelihoods of those penalized and their families, especially considering the fact that Tunisia is already suffering from a severe economic crisis. Public healthcare infrastructure is uneven across the country and weaker in some poorer regions, which affects access to vaccines. 

(…)

The decree-law also requires Tunisian citizens aged 18 and above to show a vaccine pass to travel outside the country. According to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which Tunisia has ratified, any limitation on the right to freedom of movement must be necessary to achieve a legitimate aim, proportionate, provided by law and must not violate other rights guaranteed by the ICCPR. 

“This requirement is clearly not a legitimate limitation on freedom of movement under international law, because it is unjustified and unfairly restrictive,” said Amna Guellali.  

WHO guidance on international travel during the Covid-19 pandemic states that governments should not impose blanket travel restrictions based on proof of vaccination, and should opt instead for risk-based measures such as testing for Covid-19, imposing quarantine on incoming travellers, or requiring arrivals to present a negative Covid-19 test result. 

Background:  

President Kais Saied, who suspended Parliament on 25 July and has granted himself the power to legislate by decree, issued the new vaccine pass law on 22 October, a month after dissolving a government body tasked with vetting the constitutionality of new laws and disallowing Tunisia’s Administrative Tribunal from annulling decree-laws.  

Tunisia began its Covid-19 vaccination campaign in March 2021, yet the rollout proceeded slowly and was undermined by a lack of transparency, political interference, and significant delays in vaccine shipments. Meanwhile, rates of Covid-19 infection increased exponentially and, by mid-July 2021, Tunisia’s daily confirmed deaths per million was the second highest in the world.  

From late July onwards, the authorities ramped up vaccinations, eventually raising the percentage of the population who are fully vaccinated from six percent in mid-July to around 46 percent in mid-December.

Sounds dire. A very informative and rather chilling post. Thank you. It’s certainly about time that Amnesty got off the fence. But it’s not just Tunisia, it’s countries like Slovenia and Cyrus too that have draconian vaccine passport regulations. One might hope that Amnesty might get stuck in there too.

You shop at Marks and Spencer? They strongly support Zionism.

I started boycotting them at the time of one of the Gaza massacres.

Did you know that Boris Johnson’s stepmother Jenny née Sieff belongs to the family that controls Marks and Spencer? She together with her “diplomat” friend Michael Comay arranged for him and his sister to “spend time travelling” in Israel when he was younger.

Jenny Sieff’s stepfather was Teddy Sieff, the chairman of Marks and Spencer and honorary vice-president of the British Zionist Federation who was famously shot by Ilyich Ramirez Sanchez (called “Carlos the Jackal” in the media – I bet Frederick Forsyth was pleased) in his home in St John’s Wood. (He survived.)

“A democracy” – LOL. You can stand for election but not if you call for getting rid of ethnic supremacism, nor if you’ve been chased out of where you’re from by fascist settlers. But never mind the continual babyburning, because subject to those restrictions many are allowed to vote. Right. And “what about Syria and Saudi?” Great arguments you’ve got there.

Incidentally is it better for a British government minister to be a traitor working for a foreign “democracy” than if he were the property of a foreign “non-democracy”?

Not entirely related, but Efrat Fenigspn published an update from Israel on 16 December – https://rumble.com/vqwp0f-update-from-israel-efrat-fenigson-dec.-16th-2021.html?mref=viwjn&mc=40rwc
Key points made:

  • 33% of the population of Israel are unvaxxed
  • Only 45% of the population of Israel hold a ‘Green Pass’
  • Only 10% of 5 – 11 year olds have been jabbed in Israel
  • The government proposed making the unvaxxed and vaxxed wear bracelets in shopping centres to identify them
  • Parliament is trying to pass through the ability for the police to enter a citizen’s house without a warrant
  • There are only 94 severe cases of covid in the hospitals and the government still wish to impose a lockdown (but for the unvaxxed only)

“People in Scotland have not been told to cancel their Christmas plans, but have been urged to stay at home as much as possible throughout the rest of the festive period”

Just what is wrong with the Scots? James Graham and his men trekked at lightning speed across the Highlands with just dried beef and whisky for sustenance, so they could smash Archibald Campbell’s army to bits. And now they are cowed before The Mighty Sturgeon?!

 “a remarkable flanking march, during winter, across some of the toughest and wildest terrain in the British Isles, partly through snow knee-deep. The Royalists first travelled up the River Tarff to Glen Buck via Culachy, and across the gorge of the Calder Burn to reach the head of the glen, 1000 feet above sea level. They then climbed a further 1000 feet to Carn na Larach, before travelling down Glen Turret and Glen Roy to Keppoch, where the advance guard rested for around three hours in a barn while the main force caught up.”

Nicola Sturgeon herself is still in the closet though. (This is not a joke – she has a fake marriage to the gay Peter Murrell who is the Partei’s chief executive. She really does pretend to be straight. In fact she is about as straight as a nine-bob note, the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, and an especially bendy DNA helix – all twisted into one.)

“Is Nicola Sturgeon’s marriage a sham?

That all depends if you believe the rumours or not. The rumour/ hearsay is that both she and her husband are gay and that she has a French girlfriend living in a house in Bridge of Allan. I believe she has denied these rumours but she does have a record of being economical with the truth.”

I agree with Midget McKrankie. Close down evening premises. Especially those in their youth who may experience heart attacks in high energy, enclosed environments where alcohol is served alongside taurine based drinks.

If heart attacks for professional athletes are increasing at a rate of 8 standard deviations in the wrong direction from the clot shot, how will a demographic with bad health statistics and a wee drinking problem fare?

Note, McKrankie isn’t saving lives, just prolonging them for the 4th rooster booster. Follow-up sales et al.

Big headlines now about record number of ‘cases’, around 119,000 but a data processing issue means that the number of tests (obviously important when determining if positivity has increased) is underreported.

I’m really glad that the lockdowns, masks, jabs, boosters, vaccine passes, social distancing, bubbles of six and self-isolating are working so well.

Freedom! aye right! You will notice that the narrative has shifted to speed of transmission and NHS staff shortages. No longer about the deathly threat because it’s not there.. Unfortunately getting dafty Tory Boy Ross or smarmy dentist Sarwar to land a glove on Sturgeon is like expecting Timmy Mallet to hurt Tyson Fury. Limelight Leitch whose voice can have the same effect on me of an old style dentists drill, is now absolutely gaslighting us. Why are young people who must have a vax pass not being allowed to throw some shapes FFS? It’s because Leitch the dentist of doom and a whole conference full of curtain-twitching public health zealots would like to shut down the leisure economy for large periods. Sturgeon never a fun person and Swinney (The Undertaker) whose grim visage and dull mid Scotland voice also causes me pain, would also like to stamp down on fun consumption. They have even issued an edict to shops so at my local M&S in the freezing sleet rain a Dayglo Darren stood watching a queue of about 50 or so perishing outside. Sadly until I lost it and demanded to see a manager the assembled fellow Scot’s gathered like Angus cattle waiting to be stunned. That said I think Sturgeon has overplayed her scare strategy this time. This leftist hopes the Tory dissidents don’t dissolve and Sunak doesn’t dish out more dosh to enable Sturgeon and Drakeford’s festive fear campaign.

Omicron is, apparently, markedly less severe than delta, including hospitalisation and tisk of death. What evidence based data we have suggests naturally acquired immunity is superior to any current vaccine. So why would anyone do their best to stop young, healthy people catch omicron in preference to vaccination? The vaccinated still catch covid and infect others. It seems perverse to me. It is deliberate and calculated… But for what?

There is no ‘Omicron’ – wake up people on here too! Everyone guessed a ‘variant’ was going to be wheeled out before Christmas, and so it came to pass.

Yet people on this site talk about ‘Omicron’ as if it is real. When you’re fooling yourselves, you’re doing SAGE’s work for them and they are sitting back in their chairs and laughing.

LBC is fakenews

https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/health/coronavirus/response-issued-after-claim-that-first-omicron-death-in-uk-happened-in-northampton-3501629

Response issued after claim that first Omicron death in UK happened in NorthamptonAn interviewee on national radio station LBC said his step-father died of Omicron at a Northampton hospital last week

Northampton General Hospital (NGH) has responded to a claim in the national press that the first Omicron death in the United Kingdom happened at the site last week.
This comes after LBC radio station had a man called John call in on Friday (December 17) saying that his step-father had died of the new variant at ‘a hospital in Northampton’.
John told radio host Nick Ferrari that his step-father in his 70s reportedly died with Omicron on Monday (December 13) after not being vaccinated.

Northampton General Hospital has said no one has died of Omicron despite rumours circulating in the national press

A spokesperson for NHS Northamptonshire CCG said: “The NHS system in Northamptonshire has not recorded an Omicron-related death at this time.”

“National Clinical Director Jason Leitch said the decision to close nightclubs took account of typically younger crowds who may not be vaccinated.”

Perhaps I’m wrong, but I thought you had to be jabbed to enter a night-club? If so, why will anyone not be ‘vaccinated’?

True – but the vaccine was never designed to stop people (young or old) from getting the virus and its variants or transmitting it – it was only ever designed to ease the symptoms should people develop symptoms. The most vaccinated places on earth like Gibraltar are completely shutting down due to high number of cases, cruise liners with vaccinated-only passengers and crew are experiencing high infection rates among the crew and the passengers regardless of the jabs, basketball games, American football games, Baseball League all of which have some of the highest vaccination rates in sport around the world are still cancelling games left-right and center because of high infection rates because the jabs do not stop the virus from spreading – these are just a few examples and there are many more examples of high vaccination rates doing absolutely nothing to stop the spread precisely because the vaccines were never designed to stop virus and variants from spreading – when you realise this then none of this shutting down of nightclubs makes any sense at all – its completely barmy when you realise that the jabbed are just as likely to carry and spread the virus as much as the unjabbed – so shutting down nightclubs will actually do nothing at all – zilch, nada, zero – why should the virus not spread in supermarkets or coffee shops or bingo halls, in family homes, in offices, in governmment buildings the list is absoluetly endless – they seem to be on an insane mission to defeat a virus – its madness – and when you factor in the fact that for most people out there who do get the virus and do get symptoms they will probably only experience nothing more than common cold-like symptoms for a few days it just makes every decision they make insane.Its as if they just want to get everyone jabbed and thats it – regardless of whether they stop the virus or not – everyone with a pulse must be jabbed

The world has gone completely doolally – people need to wake-up, rise up and if need be wipe out these tyrants and stop this insanity or else they are looking at a very grim future of tyranny justified by a culture averse to any risks and always putting safety above absolutely everything thing else – authoritarian safetyism.

I think you’ve misunderstood my question. I understood that it was a requirement that a person be double jabbed in order to enter a nightclub. But the justification for closing the nightclubs is that many of those entering a nightclub may not be jabbed, which makes no sense to me.
