Why are they more concerned with 18 year olds getting their first vaccine than 40 year olds getting their second? If the delay was so that more “vulnerable” people could be offered the vaccine (ie those aged 40+ who are not vulnerable at all but still more so than those aged 18) why have they been offering them to younger age groups and not delaying first jabs for younger people to focus on double jab protection?

It’s a numbers game; x = the number of experimental drugs administered. Increase x as much as possible before they wake up, more money in our pocket, job’s a good’un, tea and crumpets at the club (actually coke and catamites at the club…….).

I presume you have heard of illegal drugs suppliers and organisers (Big Pharma & WHO) organised local cartels (the state), street pushers (NHS), junkies (citizens), and the phrase “get it into them (ie school kids) early”?
Here we have a state sponsored drugs racket that will leave the UK as a jUnKie nation, at great long term cost (financially and health wise) to the taxpayers; job done.

Yes in a way they are. They have no frame of reference. They don’t realise all of this is unusual. Pandemic you say? Oh my god. I am killing granny you say? Oh my dayz. The Guardian says I should? My university says I should? Ok. Vaccinate me.

Those older than 50 have a frame of reference.. they are bigger fools. When has a 40, 50, 60, 70 year old ever known a society shut down for a mild virus? Never. Yet they still fell for it in droves.

The sooner 18 year olds are vaccinated the sooner vaccine passports can be introduced. It will be a main caviat if and when SAGE permit Johnson to unlock.

So they can use that as the next extension excuse – ‘Those that got the 1st jab between June & July now need to get their 2nd’ – On and on and on we go until September when , ramped up fear with new scariant, emergency powers are renewed, booster experiments for those taking part in the trial, autumn / winter lockdown to protect the NHS from the man made 5 million waiting list – Rinse repeat, round & round & round we go until the people stand up and take back control from this tyrannical out of control dangerous government committing heinous crimes against humanity

In the jab-nudges sent by the Notional Health Service it doesn’t mention any side effects or it’s experimental status….

makes you wonder…

Everyone who I know has been jabbed has been having a cough recently, unjabbed me, i’m perfectly fine…

Maybe i should fake a cough…

Some people I know who have had the jab have come down with mild cold-like symptoms recently lasting a week or so – ok it could be absolutely nothing, but on the other hand I’m unjabbed and have not come down with so much as a sniffle so far (touch wood).

Funny that the new delta variant symptoms are very much cold like. Described as being like hay fever right in the middle of hay fever season. You couldn’t make it up but somebody quite obviously is, getting paid a shit load to do it as well.

I reckon if you asked a typical sheep who thinks they know all about the deadly batflu:

– Have you heard of Ivermectin?
– Did you know that Florida and Texas have been open and normal for many months?
– Did you hear about the two biggest London protests since the gulf war?
– Did you know that many of the most eminent and specifically qualified medical experts have been shouting about this being madness since March 2020?

The answer to all questions would be “no” for 90% plus. Naturally they would then go on to lecture you about the imminent third wave, all the kids dying in hospital, and the millions phucked by long covid.

Many of these sheep will appear intelligent on paper. Unfortunately, intelligence doesn’t matter, what matters is curiosity to research things yourself, and because they are used to lazily typing any question into Google, they can’t be arsed to do the slightest amount of digging.

There seems to be confusion amongst society about intelligence. Most people associate it with being able to recite things that they’ve heard in various places, however I would conjecture it involves the ability to question information and speculate based on things you already know. The masses do not do this.

As a recent escapee of the education system, all to often I would see that it is geared to rewarding those who can best recite what is given to them, formulating new ideas was a foreign concept. Even explanations of things were given to you, and you had to remember these to do well. No thinking for yourself.

It may explain partly why people are so dismissive of things that they haven’t heard before.

I had a conversation recently I was told I was irresponsible for not being jabbed (a word I hate). I bombarded them with facts and stats they were completely astonished.
It’s really not very difficult all you need is a little curiosity and the ability to turn the TV off. Although I do enjoy listening to Witty and co jumping through hoops.

Ooh, “new categories of “treatments.” Splendid. Such as Ivermectin, zinc, HCQ, or maybe a couple of paracetamol and a lie down? Or maybe, not telling genuinely sick people to wait until their lips go blue before they clog up the hospital? After all, we all have to protect RNHS.

This article shows just how desperate folk are to get their hands on treatment for Long Covid. Until the “medical emergency” is over, no chance whatsoever of getting my hands on any of the above treatments.
Us Long Covid sufferers have been thrown to the wolves & I expect more to join the ranks as no treatment is allowed to prevent this happening.
Absolutely bloody criminal!

Hi. I managed to get ivermectin (as well as Fluvoxamine and HCQ) from India using Indiamart. I was pretty wary at first so bought a sample before getting a larger quantity. It takes about 10 days.

“Sir Simon Stevens, Chief Executive of the NHS in England, said the health service hoped to “finish the job” of vaccinating people over the next month.”

Hold on, I thought the job involved vaccinating those most at risk from coronavirus. But that was done weeks and weeks ago.

So the job won’t be “finished” one month from now. Because the NHS will then start on the kids, and the adult refuseniks. And then they will start on the boosters. This will never end.

Further to my comment on a prior post, the SPI-M modellers have basically thrown in the towel and admitted that they have no idea how to model the pandemic at all. There is no science to follow, in other words, apart from “knowing” that the vaccines work. As a result there is now “only one job” to do and that is to try and get as many people vaccinated as possible and coercion is being used via threats of vaccine passports, no travel, no opening of nightclubs, retaining social distancing etc. to try and get as many of the younger cohort vaccinated before restrictions are lifted. The only data that they want follow is the number of adults vaccinated.

Haha! You’ve got to get the treatment ‘within 3 days of infection’ so roll up everyone for your minimum twice weekly test for evermore, to make sure you haven’t got the deadly deadly and also asymptomatic virus before that 3 days is up. So let’s use up all those millions of useless lateral flow tests to find the terrifying infection.
You really couldn’t make up this shit. How does anyone fall for this. My 12 year old has better critical thinking skills than most adults. Jeez.

My attitudes over time:
1.(start of pandemic, even before the panic began) “yeah sure a vaccine for this is good idea”
2.(days after our rights are first stolen) “this virus clearly isn;t so bad as they think it, but a vaccine can’t be a bad idea”
3.(summer of 2020) “if a vaccine can stop them panicking us in to lockdowns then yes, roll on with it”
4.(winter of 2020) “we’ve got a vaccine now, why are they still panicking”
5.(spring of 2021) “I’ll take it, if they do not roll out vaccine passports domestically”
6.(summer of 2021)”why the hell would I take it if it won’t get everyone back to normal!”

To any state data spiders browsing this, I’m making myself clear, add this to your “reasons for hesitancy” file, I have nothing against this jab, I’m reasonably confident it is safe, but I am refusing it out of PURE SPITE until you man up and start treating covid like a medical condition (to be vaccinated against in the vulnerable and concerned populations where they consent) instead of as a an excuse to destroy every aspect of western civilisation under your jackboots.

Facemasks required at weddings.. and no dancing allowed. why stop there? I think the married couple shouldn’t have sex either on their honeymoon. or any time before or after. missionary with masks perhaps after one one year – but only after two jabs and permission from king BoJo.

How to prepare for a pandemic:

  1. Destroy the economy.
  2. Build cycle lanes.
  3. Everyone must stay in. Except for poor people who deliver stuff or who work in supermarkets.
  4. No attending big events unless it is posh e.g. tennis.
  5. Ban cars and gas boilers.
  6. Viruses cannot get to you if you are sat down.
  7. Keep windows wide open but don’t go outside.
  8. Do go outside but don’t sit down outside.

Feel free to add more.
