Omicron Variant Will Unleash Chaos in Schools as Hated ‘Bubbles’ Threaten to Return

by Toby Young
29 November 2021 9:57 AM

The omicron variant will lead to “chaos” in schools, MPs have warned, with children set to be forced into self-isolation by the new rules. The Telegraph has more.

In an attempt to prevent the spread of the mutant strain of Covid, close contacts of those who test positive for omicron will have to self-isolate for 10 days, with the Government confirming that this applies to children.

On Sunday night, ministers were warned that the move risks a repeat of the situation during the summer term when thousands of healthy children were told to stay at home.

Steve Baker MP, deputy chairman of the Covid Recovery Group, said the measures “will cause chaos including collateral harms like damage to children’s education”, adding: “The Government needs to explain when all of this will be brought to an end.”

Parents have called for children to be exempt from the new self-isolation rules.

Molly Kingsley, co-founder of parent campaign group UsForThem, said: “We learnt from summer that forcing healthy children to isolate was an unmitigated disaster and it is unforgivable to do that again.

“If they don’t exempt children it will cause chaos in the classrooms. Asking healthy children to quarantine is not a harm-free measure, it is harmful to children who are not at serious risk from the illness. At this point in the pandemic it is shameful for the Government not to have an exemption for children.”

Earlier this year, the Telegraph launched a campaign calling for an end to disruption in schools and for children to be put at the heart of policy making.

In a further blow to the end of term, the UK’s biggest teaching union was arguing on Sunday night for a return of the ‘bubble’ system and for all in-person nativity plays and other Christmas activities to be axed, as the Government confirmed facemasks would have to be worn in secondary school corridors from Monday.

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: Nadhim Zahawi joined hundreds of teachers last night at the Teaching Awards, an annual jamboree for the teaching profession in London. There wasn’t a face mask in sight.

The jabbed are data, we need the money. Why else is Gates visiting so much. The mask mandate is to remind everyone it’s still around and you need to keep jabbing, they had too many saying ‘enough’. When Johnson says he is ‘following the science’ he means ‘the behavioural science’, who are conducting this campaign

So, a doctor in Africa says she had a patient with mild common cold symptoms and thought it might be a new covid variant – and it miraculously was! Now, they have never isolated/purified Sars Cov II but they can isolate and purify new variants just like that! It gets better. Within hours of discovery they miraculously have a test to identify the new variant AND THEY HAVE IT AVAILABLE ALL OVER THE WORLD because planes leaving Africa the next day with all passengers having already tested negative for covid suddenly contact covid on the plane and the new test on landing says its OMICRON! Of course, by the time the plane landed, they have already determined Omicron is more infectious than other variants; children are particularly susceptible and the current injections are ineffective against it but Big Pharma can have one trialled, tested and on the shelf within a few weeks. WOW – doesn’t that just blow your mind?

The evidence all shows that the interventions don’t work – there is no correlation whatsoever between the stats and any of the vindictive restrictions – and there hasn’t been at any point.

The trouble is that doublethink is now embedded within society. Look at that tweet copied above – the implication is that being spiked is equivalent to a negative test. Nearly everybody now knows that the spiked can spread it, but at the same time nonsensical statements like this are made and largely not challenged.

This is an article about the inefficiency and futility of all the interventions, based upon the prior Ben Israel calculations.
They might very well know this and the new interventions might very well have been instituted and planned for timing-wise as such, so that the natural decline in cases can then be credited to the interventions.

As last Autumn when the government did everything it could to slow the acquisition of natural herd immunity and thus any requirement for the already planned introduction of total vaccination.

It’s still my belief that lockdown lite was only introduced because the vax manufacturers were caught out by the levels of public compliance to lockdown and had not nearly sufficient stocks to begin total vaccine programs right there and then.

It was similar to the way Lenin introduced the New Economic Policy, which was a return to small scale capitalism, when it became obvious that the newly victorious Bolshevik regime could not produce nearly enough food or domestic goods to allow the population to survive in the short term and had the added advantage of identifying Kulaks and their urban equivalents, ‘Netmen’, so making their subsequent annihilation all the easier.

Both partial reversals also fitted with the psychologically unsettling process of offering the people minor concessions only to have them withdrawn for no apparent reason.

I am prepared to believe that there is an ‘it’ – probably manufactured in a lab and probably released accidentally, and then latched onto by disaster capitablists.

What I don’t believe is that it justified any particular measures at all as it’s no worse than a bad ‘flu season. I also believe that many of the measures taken would not be justified under any circumstances (muzzles, lockdowns, antisocial distncing, furlough).

And of course I believe that the vaccines are useless and probably dangerous.

Something was causing a flu-like pneumonia with symptoms a bit different from those normally seen, and it seems reasonable to assume that this was a slightly different virus to those seen before as that seems the most likely explanation.

That doesn’t mean that I would dismiss any evidence which pointed to a different explanation, should such evidence appear. Indeed, that is (or used to be) the basis of science – the best explanation for what was visibly happening would stand unless or until a better explanation was put forward.

It also seems most likely that it was manufactured in a lab due to the location where it appeared and the seeming lack of any evidence of it having a natural source. It seems most likely that it was released accidentally because the preparations for the dystopian response were shambolic and in no way guaranteed to work, and thereby look more like disaster capitalists taking advantage of a situation. That’s not to say that I don’t believe that there are people out there capable of doing this deliberately, but I would expect the response planning to be smoother if so.

They can collect some now, and so can we.

As of Tuesday there will have to be a step change in something in the children at school data, and we need to be looking out for it.

Then when, as we suspect, it doesn’t show up we will have a smoking gun we can ask all MPs to explain.

The evidence points the other way – as reported here

https://dailysceptic.org/2021/11/28/u-k-may-be-panicking-unnecessarily-over-omicron-variant-says-doctor-who-discovered-it/

“Dr Angelique Coetzee said that patients had been presenting with ‘extremely mild’ symptoms in her country, though the population there is significantly younger than in the UK.

The chair of the South African Medical Association suspects the variant is already widely in the UK but added she had not seen any confirmed cases admitted to hospital – adding that other colleagues had seen the “same picture”.

But other experts have disagreed with the characterisation of the variant, especially given the limited amount of data available.

It comes amid growing concern and new restrictions following the discovery of the strain, which experts fear may be able to evade vaccines and be more transmissible.

Those fears are yet to be confirmed, however.

She told the BBC’s Andrew Marr show she first encountered the variant in a man in his early 30s who presented with tiredness and a mild headache, but none of the usual coronavirus symptoms.

She said: “What we are seeing clinically in south Africa, and remember I’m at the epicentre – that’s where I’m practising – it’s extremely mild. For us, that’s mild cases.”

When asked if the UK was “panicking unnecessarily”, she said: “I think you already have it there in your country and you’re not knowing it, and I would say, yes, at this stage I would say definitely.

“Two weeks from now maybe we will say something different.”

She listed symptoms of Omicron as extreme tiredness, headaches and a scratchy cough – but not a loss of smell or taste.

“Your doctors might be more focussed on the Delta symptoms and missing this, because it is easy to miss this,” Dr Angelique added.“

At least there are some voices within the political sphere calling out this revolting tory/sage junta: Well done David Kurten.

Coercing children to wear face masks in school is psychological abuse from a deplorable regime.
Schools and teachers should note carefully however: it is guidance that says SHOULD, not a statute that says MUST. They should not enforce it or they too will be guilty.

For a small but growing critical mass of us in the 1st world West, trust in the institutions that had governed us all to date is now gone. It is never coming back.

Nicely demonstrated by the UK govts stance on this farcical next chapter game of variants – Omnicrap phase and how it will be used as the scapegoat for the increasingly obvious ‘experimental gene therapy’ damage, which as shown below will be used to mask the increasingly obvious post jabs deaths.

Bozo bans the word ‘Christmas’ to avoid offending followers of other religions.

Alex Belfield (YouTube) usually so spot on in all things sceptic gets it all wrong on this one.

He claims it is all about pandering to the wishes of johny cum lately adherents of other faiths demanding that the indigenous population change their ways to suit them; it’s been going on for years hence my own city attempt to abandon Xmas street lighting in favour of ‘Winterval’ which they had to abandon after about three years.

Nothing could be further than the truth; many recent arrivals and their offspring regard Christmas as a holiday to be enjoyed in secular ways like family get togethers and exchange of gifts, attending Works Xmas Do’s, with some going so far as to include glittery decoration of their home, tacky or otherwise.
For proof that Moslems are not offended take a look at, for example, the way the terminals at Dubai airport are decorated for the Yuletide Season. My Hindu owned local convenience store/post office will be discreetly bedecked with tinsel bunting as usual as this pleases the kiddies on their way home from the nearby school.

No, this is about PC civil servants and assorted bureaucrats outbidding each other to brandish their ‘woke’ credentials with presumptuous and offensive attempts to claim to speak for ‘oppressed minorities’ by claiming that thrusting symbols of Christianity upon them with all the connotations of historic slavery and abuse which those symbols supposedly represent.

Utter bollocks that many if not most adherents of other Faiths, or none, find detestable if only because they fear such propaganda might promote a backlash from the host community who otherwise would not even notice.

While Christmas certainly offends some immigrants, you are correct in that, generally, anti-Christmas/Christian sentiment comes from self-loathing establishment types who project their hatred of their own culture onto immigrants/other cultures. Ironically, it is itself a form of ‘soft discrimination’ in that it unwittingly suggests that other religions and cultures are unable/not advanced enough to tolerate/cope with Christmas and by extention Christians.

Furthermore, and again ironically, it undermines the establishment’s relentless push for ‘multiculturalism’, unless they want to openly admit they have no desire to achieve ‘integration’ and ‘harmony’.

On the other hand, if it stops these lunatics from associating Christmas with their deranged push to inject everyone, then I’ll take it.

The local oikey ‘troubled estate’ is the area where residents are most likely to decorate the outside of their homes with ever expanding illuminated festive light shows. Clearly some are neighbours competing with each other, others offer charity boxes for people to contribute to the upkeep of such displays or designated charities.
Last year there was at least one reported incident where police asked the householder to ‘tone it down a bit’ because the display was attracting crowds and so was not ‘Covid Safety Compliant’ ffs.

Sometimes snobby killjoys from soulless private manicured estates write to the local paper denouncing this wasteful use of Universal Credit (with staggering presumption) while others jump on the Climate Change bandwagon about the amount of CO2 being produced, tossers all of them.

It’s not my cup of tea but if brings a bit of cheer on a dark winters night good luck to them.

That’s why my five year old grandson is now Electively home educated and is thriving. His maths, reading and writing have improved greatly since sept, he is learning the piano, sign language, can light a fire safely using a flint and learning to forage safely and does science, creativity and gets out and about loads. He has lots of friends and plays rugby. His behaviour has been the biggest improvement, previously he was angry and tired alot of the time.
I know alot of people can’t do it but there are many groups out there to offer support for those that want to try and I recognise it can be more problematic for secondary age. .
Some schools are now so desperate to keep their numbers up they offer ‘blended learning’ which is part school part home education.

Just look at those teachers attending the Teachers Awards. Are they congratulating themselves for the part they’ve played in destroying the future for children? That’s the only conclusion I can come to, because they certainly do not deserve praise for anything they’ve done over the last two years.

Parents must be furious to see this, especially considering none of the teachers are muzzled or distanced while today they will be enforcing such rules on children.

Well, let’s hope they enjoy the praise while it lasts, because the whole thing is very reminiscent of how the NHS were treated as heroes before being ‘vaccinated’ became a condition of their employment.

Guarding their arses against future claims of negligence. Each might do well to follow government guidelines in only the narrowest sense but many will take them to the Nth degree.

Current Omicron count – England 3 – Scotland 6. So how is the mask mandate in Scotland helping?
PS I think it ought to be called the Irish variant – O’Micron.

I’m about to take my weekly taxi trip to the cashpoint and to do bits of shopping; fully prepared with a dirty mask in one back pocket and ‘exempt’ lanyard in the other.

Thanks to lockdownsceptics (as was) I obtained the first of these just before the onset of mandatory masking last summer and am fully aware that I do not require such a lanyard still less discuss the reason for my self declared exemption to any taxi driver or shopkeeper that might question it.

At the point of questioning my use of the single word “exempt”* the offender has committed a crime against Disability Discrimination Statutes which are Primary Legislation which far outweigh Ministerial pronouncements, on Twitter or elsewhere.

There is no requirement to produce medical documentation to anybody, including the Police, until a prosecution arrives at Court which has not once occurred in England since masking became a requirement.

I will brandish my lanyard at an uninformed taxi driver in preference to being left stranded on a street corner and will wear my, dirty, mask in my Pharmacy which is MY decision and not up for discussion.

*I generally extend this to “I’m exempt thank you” as common courtesy and by way of a gentle reminder that it is not up to the shopkeeper or taxi driver to enforce the regulations but to thank them for reminding me of MY obligations under the law.

Absurdly enough, we’re all ‘exempt’ by virtue of the fact we are human beings.

This time last year there were claims made here of moral repugnance about claiming to be legally exempt when this might be lying.
I always found such fears to be ridiculous when merely feeling ‘anxiety’ if wearing a mask is sufficient and who is to prove otherwise?

I have been out this morning – to the dentist and three different independent shops. I do not wear a mask and no comment was made anywhere. The dentist knows I am exempt (for a diagnosed medical condition), but the shopkeepers weren’t interested, nor were they wearing masks. I used to wear a lanyard, but I now refuse to as I fail to see why I should have to visually justify that I can have my face uncovered. I am looking forward to a decent challenge somewhere so I can show off my wonderful resting bitch face, but somehow I think it might be some time coming.

Just wait until tomorrow – last summer in went from hardly anybody wearing one on the Sunday to nearly everyone muzzled when the nappy-mandate came into effect the following day.

I’ve noticed a general increase in masked zombies and a renewed vigour in their angry stares when encountering people who ignore their pseudomedical fetish. But only among the (middle-class) English (and Chinese, obviously). The Poles were as unimpressed as ever. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

This comment has nothing to do with the article whatsoever, it’s just about a bad poem I came up with when mopping my floor earlier today. It could become a national anthem of sorts for the United Kingdom of Boris & Johnson, rumoured to have been a great and valiant nation at some unspecified time in the past. But that was before its leader fell under the foul spell of a band of elderly sages left over from the communist revolution which never happened who were most famous for their inability to predict anything except their own predictions.

I’ve named it The Precautionary Principle or The Warsong of Susan B Michie

Run Britannia!
Run and hide from all these COVID waves!
Feeble, weak Britannia,
Nothing else can keep you safe!

Fear Britannia!
Fear these dreadful COVID waves!
Poor, old, scared Britannia,
Taking any risk at all will surely be your grave!

In the local club a couple who are both teachers attend and fully support mask wearing for kids at school..

When I point out that the room we are in is basically a classroom but no one is wearing a mask, they fail to see the hypocrisy.

Makes one’s piss boil

To them, there’s no hypocrisy: Masking pupils is about managing workplace risk. But private, voluntary gatherings are not work places. That they’re obviously not really scared about COVID doesn’t figure here. No one can expect them to put their lives at risk in the classroom, though, no matter how minimal that risk might be. See also bad poem above. And the usual COVID mechanics of forcing them might help me! (and hence, it must be done) but forcing me doesn’t (hence, there’s no reason to do it).

Parents and carers: 

Below you will find a template to exempt your Year 7+ pupil from the new ‘strong advice’ to wear face coverings in communal areas. 

Please feel free to share.

Dear  
 
Re: Face coverings. NAME AND FORM
 
I am writing to let you know that my child NAME is not able to wear a face covering. Therefore as stated in the most recent government guidance on face coverings (20th July 2021) is not required to wear one. There are a wide variety of reasons people are exempt from wearing face coverings and it is unlawful to request proof of exemptions. This means that NAME will not be required, or able, to wear a face covering at school, at any time. 
 
I would appreciate it if you and other staff could ensure they are not made to feel uncomfortable or singled out because they are unable to wear a face covering. 
 
Kind regards

Ivermectin help reduce the severity of vaccine adverse reactions. If someone is suffering from a post vaccine syndrome, FLCCC clinicians and a growing network of colleagues have reported significant clinical responses to ivermectin. Because Ivermectin has 5 different mechanisms of action against coronaviruses, the medication is also effective with the different variants of the virus. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

Angelique Coetzee the chairwoman of the South African Medical Association was the first to identify the dreaded omicron –

“It presents mild disease with symptoms being sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two not feeling well. So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer loss of taste or smell. They might have a slight cough. There are no prominent symptoms. Of those infected some are currently being treated at home,” Ms Coetzee said.

Given the severity I’m surprised that Boris has announced a child cull, for your safety of course.

I wonder if Coetezee is wishing she kept her big mouth shut?

We know this platform is an echo chamber, but where can the ‘awake’ go to be heard by others who need to start waking up? Has anyone got any suggestions? This is becoming utterly ridiculous.

I understand brekky telly for the ‘moronic’ was actually inciting violence against the independent of mind, aka mask ‘exempt’. this morning. Actually encouraging and advocating violence between the masked and those ‘exempt’. Pushing for more and more conflict between naturally immune and the poisoned. This just gets more barbaric and evil by the day.

IT HAS TO STOP!

“In an attempt to prevent the spread of the mutant strain of Covid“. And yet no previous attempts worked, so why even bother, for a variant that’s even less harmful, and so will have negligible to next-to-zero effect on children!! This is a classic example of Einstein’s definition of insanity (keep trying the same thing hoping for a different outcome). That our politicians and so-called health ‘experts’ cannot see this is just incredible.

Of course they can bl**dy well see it! Why are so many people ready to excuse them on the grounds of their being inefficient? They are greedy, self-serving, arrogant, manipulative nobodies, taking orders from elsewhere.

We see a new variant, and literally after a few days, they are saying we should “get our boosters” to protect ourselves, despite the vaccine not being effective against the original virus after a while and not against the Delta variant, so how is it supposed to work with this moronic Xi variant?

“The omicron variant will lead to “chaos” in schools, MPs have warned”. No the governments panicky and half assed response to the moronic variant will lead to further chaos for the entire nation.

It’s not ”panic” though, is it? It is deliberate and cold calculation on their part. They know EXACTLY what they are doing, and to say otherwise is being overly generous.

It’s not ”a variant” that is causing chaos. It’s these disgusting, self-serving, prancing nowts that are doing that.

“The Prime Minister and half the Cabinet are currently at a huge lunch in Westminster. There is not a mask in sight (apart from the waiters, of course). Yet tomorrow the PM will make all of our children wear masks in schools. It’s all theatre, folks.”
