Covid should be treated as an endemic virus similar to flu, and ministers should end mass-vaccination after the current booster campaign, Dr. Clive Dix the former Chairman of the U.K.’s vaccine taskforce has said. The Guardian has the story.
With health chiefs and senior Tories also lobbying for a post-pandemic plan for a straining NHS, Dr. Clive Dix called for a major rethink of the U.K.’s Covid strategy, in effect reversing the approach of the past two years and returning to a “new normality”.
“We need to analyse whether we use the current booster campaign to ensure the vulnerable are protected, if this is seen to be necessary,” he said. “Mass population-based vaccination in the U.K. should now end.”
He said ministers should urgently back research into Covid immunity beyond antibodies to include B-cells and T-cells (white blood cells). This could help create vaccines for vulnerable people specific to Covid variants, he said, adding: “We now need to manage disease, not virus spread. So stopping progression to severe disease in vulnerable groups is the future objective.”
A rare moment of sanity at a time when policy seems increasingly to be driven by something other than the evidence. May it signal a change in the wind.

People on this site are constantly asking “why cant others see what is going on”. One reason is that people are by and large naïve. They prefer to believe people are basically good. Because of that erroneous assumption, they refuse to see evil intent. They want to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. When there are differences of opinion, they attribute the differences to benevolent disagreement. But we know, just from our awareness of regular criminality reported in the media, that evil does exist.
And we know, from examining the history books, that great evil exists. Oppression, tyranny, slavery, famines, mass-murder are all evidence of great evils inflicted upon innocent civilians. It is estimated that four times as many people have been killed by their own governments using these means than those killed on battlefields in actual wars.
In the 20th century, authoritarian socialist-communist countries murdered 100 million of their own citizens – and the world largely looked on, often even applauding the tyranny. The British establishment, and in particular the British Fabian Society, of which Blair and Starmer are members, actively supported the Bolshevik Gulag system and denied the mass murder of millions.
Fabian George Bernard Shaw persistently advocated murdering citizens who were not useful to society. But who would decide whether or not a person was ‘useful’? Shaw wrote: ‘The power to exterminate is too grave to be left in any hands but those of a thoroughly Communist government.’
We have UK Parliamentarians today who, for ideological and political purposes, turn a blind eye to state terror. Corbyns undying admiration for communists like Trotsky and Castro, who murdered their way to power and ruthlessly oversaw the implementation of one-party police states, is but one example.
:
Today we are subjected to a new form of authoritarian socialism, and it is one upon which all parties unite – a quasi-green, pseudo medical, full-spectrum surveillance, globalised socialism – which will be pursued to the bitter end, at whatever cost, for the ‘greater good’.
When Britons see their own socialist political class committing evil acts today, their inclination is to deny that they are evil acts. They refuse to identify their rulers by their wicked fruits. “Our people aren’t like that,” they tell each other. “Our politicians look after us, and what they do is for our greater good.”
Try telling that to the 200,000 innocent people our political class have openly stated they will intentionally kill over the next 20 years. For that is the number of people that the governments own report says will die from implementing the first lockdown. One expert assessed that 560,000 Britons would die.
Make no mistake. What our one-party socialist state has done, for the ‘greater good’, is coolly agree to murder hundreds of thousands of Britons to, ostensibly, prevent an unknown number of people from possibly getting a respiratory illness. That, at least, is the cover story.
Now add in the murders of vulnerable people when care homes were deliberately seeded with very ill hospital patients. The murders of patients undergoing hydroxychloroquine trials that were designed to fail. The murders of all those put on ventilators, given Midazolam and those denied early-acting therapies. And also add in all the murders due to forced experimental medical procedures, which are rising by the day and will go on into eternity.
And who knows what atrocities lie around the corner, particularly for those who are resisting this ‘greater good’ tyranny. Only one thing is certain, when evil-doers gain control, they will stop at nothing to retain that control and if anyone gets in their way, they too become collateral damage.
From ancient despots to today’s political tyrants, we can see that great evil does exist. As humanity faces its greatest ever test, it’s time for all of us to recognise evil acts as evil acts.
…
Democracy, coupled with techno-capitalism, is the perfect vehicle for tyranny.
People have been propagandised erroneously to think that democracy is the perfect and holy political system. Gullibility incarnated.
Democracy doesn’t guarantee virtue, wisdom, rationality, hard work, fairness, truth, justice. In the modern world it is soaked in ideology and politicized. All it takes is one spark – such as a virus – to subvert its remaining good points.
I was born in Communist Poland, and value British democracy, such as it is. I can also see its degeneration proceeding. People in democratic societies are more gullible, as long as the system guarantees income and basic living conditions they will assent to anything. They are also easily led and propagandised, as well as censored. They avoid conflict, and trust the authorities to the max. This emasculates rigorous debate and truth-seeking, enabling the kind of mindlessness we have seen in covidianism.
It may be time to dissolve the form of democracy we have and recast it. It is just principles and operative truth which make a system right, not its external forms alone or hoary tradition.
I can answer your question very quickly, indoctrination, institutionalization, denial & fear. People will always believe government experts over other “experts”. People won’t risk their jobs, they have family & mortgages to keep.
A mortgage is a lifetime sentence of servitude. Why else do you think such a system of control was conceived by elite bankers.
Back in the late 90s and early 00s, discussions on internal work social websites were generally open and wide ranging. Now they seem to be hardly used, no one dares, apart from a few virtue signallers making a statement. My conclusion is that everyone feels they must stay silent, for fear of their jobs.
Yep. Work forums and ‘discussions’ are rubber-stamping exercises for the ruling ideology. It doesn’t help that most people have no opinions other than the ruling ideology.
Occasionally some appointed wokery rep publishes a discussion item, and there is a stunning lack of response, which is perhaps more telling than anything else.
Exactly. Tie you to working for them all your life,restrict housing supply to keep prices up, the rentier class enjoying the fruits of your labour. After WW2 they built lots of pre fabs to house people, lots of council houses too. There seems to be no political will from any party in the UK to address the housing crisis, as the rentier class contol the Govt and planning. If private builders wont build the houses required, why wont govt step in.We have the technology to build hundreds of thousands of quality pre- fabs to alleviate the housing crisis for the young, but the rentier class wont allow it. The greatest scandal of our time.
Banks & Planners.
There should be no easier problem to solve than housing, and yet they don’t.
I note the serial down-voters never, ever have the guts to comment.
Patient zero for “it’s all just a misunderstanding” being Toby Young himself.
While I respect and appreciate that he’s provided this forum, to this date he still can’t bring himself to believe this his old school chums are acting either with bad intent, or merely following orders from their Davos paymasters.
Never bite the hand that feeds you.
That is a class piece of writing.
It is not so much that they can’t see what is going on, but that they won’t see.
For most it is a case of not understanding something that their whole existence requires them not to understand.
For example, I have been struggling to determine how a might respond to a close relative being forced to vaccinate and subsequently being badly damaged by the side effects we are assured have nothing to do with the vaccine.
Should I threaten those who authorised the vaccines, or those who administered them, both of which would result in my arrest and possible imprisonment or
Should I go further and set an example along the lines of ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’ that might result in ‘death by cop’ if I were to go after Javid or Raine.
In either case my actions would leave my family without income possibly homeless….
So I put it out of my mind as I do with most existential problems that I cannot control.
So, it’s not that most of us can’t see, but that by seeing we reinforce our impotence to do anything about it, and that leads to depression and loss of enjoyment of the short time we have at best.
The authorities have never provided a recourse to grievances during this time. They have blocked off all accountability. They have made it all but impossible to dissent and just as hard to criticise and be heard. In short, it is abuse to impose totalitarian methods ever – never mind for such an illness, with ceaseless and cruel propaganda and gaslighting.
Covid should be treated as flu, because it is flu.
“New normality”. Three added letters to distinguish it from from the dreaded phrase “new normal”? Let’s be clear, we want the old normal, nothing less.
Normal normalcy.
Id like the normal normalcy of the 80’s and 90’s. Individual freedoms and suchlike
Yeah, how about stopping using unwords coined very early on by chief covidians.
With this and the MPs and scientists asking for child injections to be halted I think the injuries and deaths caused by the drugs may be finally rattling these criminals.
A few ‘more positive’ stories about unvaxxed people, or reporting on suggestion to end mass vaccination, on the BBC this morning.
Until I see the wounds in the side of Covidianism, however, I refuse to believe it has NOT resurrected.
I think “they” are trying to backpedal, while at the same time not admitting they are wrong. Turning down the heat on the pan of water, slowly, so the frog doesn’t notice. I think “they” will keep it on a low heat for a while, then start turning it up again, once they have found something else to frighten us with.
A rare sign of sanity, indeed. Meanwhile, Robert Malone reports on his substack about an Indiana life insurance CEO stating all-cause mortality in 18-64 year-olds is 40% up. He says a 1 in 200 year catastrophe would put it up 10%. The trials for these crimes against humanity will go on for the rest of the decade.
Does life insurance payout for vaccine induced death?
I imagine it would depend on the specific terms of the policy.
Could become an issue.
I have thought for a while that it will be an issue, I suspect that it is currently being suppressed but I don’t think many life insurance products routinely cover ‘drug abuse or experimentation’.
If the jabbing establishment (which includes almost all of the medical profession) assert that a death was not caused by the jab, because the jab is safe and effective, I would have thought the insurance company would have no choice but to pay up.
It’s a good question. I’ve seen a couple of BIG CAPS Twatter reports of claims being rejected as it’s experimental, but never with enough detail to verify them.
So I’d assume that claims are still currently being paid. How long that will continue is another question.
A life insurance contract pays out on death. There can be instances were benefits are not paid as a result of suicide. Any policy pre-dating the Scamdemic WILL pay sum insured on death.
Given the report from Indiana Life I would expect their findings to be replicated across the industry, unless they specialise in insuring a particular cohort. If the 40% increase in mortality in the 18 – 64 age group is consistent then mark my words the actuaries will be investigating.
Pressure from insurance companies could have a big impact. Life insurance premiums will rise substantially and coincidentally premiums for many other activities.
Motor insurance – heart attacks while driving?
Sports insurance? This must be a major issue now with so many collapsing on their field of play.
The insurance industry really has the potential to shake this Scam up and it could happen very quickly.
I asked this of my employer provided health insurance provider last May:
Sadly, the CEO then went on to conclude that these extra deaths must necessarily be from the Wuhan bioweapon, just not recorded correctly. His company is now weighting premiums in areas of low vaccination, apparently without a shred of evidence to support that.
Even actuaries have succumbed to Covid Derangement Syndrome.
A very different take on the pandemic.

Make of it what you will.
Encouraging signs here in SA, these are extracts from an article by authors who I would actually class as experts:
“Even though Omicron is showing heightened anti-spike protein antibody evasiveness relative to even the Beta variant, vaccine and natural infection induced T-cell immunity has been relatively preserved.
This could explain the uncoupling of the case rate compared with the hospitalisation rate, and even more pronouncedly, with the death rate. In addition, other changing characteristics of the Omicron variant caused by the mutations appear to make it more efficient in infecting and replicating in the upper rather than the lower airway. This could also be contributing to lower likelihood of progressing from infection to severe diseases.
The death rate with Omicron wave in South Africa is on track to be approximately one-tenth compared to the Delta wave. This means it possibly on a par with deaths caused by seasonal influenza pre-Covid – 10,000 to 11,000 per annum.
The South African government appears to have come to appreciate that the past practices have had limited success in preventing infections, and fully appreciates the detrimental effects that restrictions have had on the economy and society. In addition, it has run out of road to continue with what has unfortunately not yielded much benefit. Despite all the severe lockdowns South Africa still ranks high with a Covid death rate of 481 per 100,000.
The country and all its institutions and people need to prepare to get back to a previous life – most notably the health services.”

Fuck new normality. I want the old 4star unfiltered exposed to danger and lead paint with no fucking restrictions normality back.
and i want the heads of those who put us into this mess on a wall
I was about to write something similar, but your post sums it up perfectly.
You can’t return to a ‘new’ normality. That’s nonsense.
Return to normality. Sanity. Humanity. Freedom. Decency.
Now.
It is the Guardian. You can’t expect no doublespeak at all.
So, why am I being sacked?
I can genuinely see a point where we stop mass jabbing but still sack the “disobedient” NHS workers who decline a “vaccine” that doesn’t bloody work.
Was just thinking the same Dr Y. Sadly time is running out for a U-turn (despite Steve James’s efforts). Just hope we all hold the line!
I don’t;
Moderna is working on an annual ‘combination’ vaccine which could inoculate Britons against both Covid and flu as early as next year
Ah, “convenience”, because despotism gets better the easier it is to scale up.
We’ll see the same phrase used when the vaxpässen become remote-scannable, and Day-Glo Derek can be replaced by a robotic turnstile door to allow or deny “citizen privileges”.
Dunno if you’ve seen this or sought legal advice.
Anna De Buisseret’s Advice to Care Workers & NHS Staff: Don’t Quit
Hold line Doc.
Yes, I’ve joined two other law firms looking at class action.
I am not quitting (but will resign if the mandate gets reversed as I cannot work in my Trust anymore having seen how they have behaved about this).
It’s a tragedy – 20 years of medical practice down the drain – for a disease I already had, didn’t use hospital resources for and have proven bloody antibodies.
Meanwhile, I’ve covered the shifts of the shielding colleagues, those with covid, those with family members with covid (sometimes 3 or 4 times – eye roll) and a million other things.
Yeah, well, but the problem is that the bloody NHS believes it’s the boss of all of us, rather than there to provide a service. It treats its patients like unwelcome time wasting burdens, why would such an organisation treat its staff any better?
I don’t believe “cradle to grave”, national, databased medical records and the whole surveillance net provide any benefit to the vast majority of the population, but it enables exponential growth of all sorts of other “departments” and therefore a much wider range of career and promotion paths for empire builders. “Important research” turns out to be pharma funded bollox. All these additional functions make it so vastly expensive as to be unaffordable, therefore the actual “care” suffers. I will never willingly register with an nhs gp ever again, I pray I don’t get sick or have an accident, and if forced into an attendance any information I give will be full of errors. Nor will I ever take any vaccine again, nor volunteer any organs. I mean, feck my old boots, “presumed consent”!!!???? Dystopian doublespeak. Over £2k a month in various taxes and the only beneft is poorly designed street lights, random bin emptying and potholed roads.
My old normal includes a much reduced presence of the state in everyone’s lives.

I am sure you have already seen this – but in case you have not, it might be worth getting in touch with this outfit – at para 22 of their letter before action they mention other medical professionals being joined to this case, for being sacked for refusing to have the jab.
Can your MP write on your behalf to raise your case with the health secretary, citing the ICU doctor who told him on Friday that the science isn’t strong enough to support mandatory jabbing of all NHS staff?
But, but but, Boris knows better.
“End cov vax campaign say’s ex head of vax task force”…
The latest stats from the UKHSA indicate that cov vaxxed individuals counted for 4 in 5 covid death’s in December!
UKHSA indicate vaxxed population counted for 68% of covid cases between 6th Dec 21
and 2nd Jan 22!
UKHSA indicate that 75% of cov death’s are in the vaccinated population!
A wealth of statistical data now exsist’s that show’s that the “vaccines” are negatively effective (they facilitate infection), see latest data from Israel!
A wealth of data indicates that these experimental cytotixins are without parallel in medical history in the injuries and deaths they are causing!
The jabs don’t stop infection and don’t stop transmission, they have ZERO medium to long term toxicity studies, they are a ticking biological time bomb!
To this rancid malevolant administration, may you all suffer long painful death’s for the harm’s you have caused and the lies you have told.
To the vaxxed population, especially the cretinous, sanctamonious, virtu signalling middle classes (Orwell was right about you). Your inability to think critically, your inability to recognise gratuitous untruths spoken by pathological liars in the pay of big pharma and Gates, your inability to know when you are being shafted by a bunch of charlatans and grifters masquerading as a parliamentary democracy has cost me two year’s of my life!
You unquestioningly rolled your sleeves up and facilitated the biggest lie in history…I HATE YOU ALL!
I get the drift, but think you could have been a little more visceral in your condemnation of those responsible and their sheep.
The Guardian, that bastion of unfettered investigative journalism, still faithfully reports that more than 150,000 are dead FROM covid.
They are obviously unaware of the distinction between the words from and with.
They seem unaware that all cause mortality for the last 18 months is nothing out of the ordinary.
They seem unaware that there have been significantly less deaths from heart attacks, strokes, cancers etc meaning that said conditions were either cured by covid or, shock, were the real cause of death.
Oh, I think they’re very well aware. But there’s a war on, don’t you know?
It’s always people with ‘ex-‘ and ‘former-‘ in front of them who say these things, unfortunately.
Nice weeping willow by the way, I wonder if the photo was taken in his expansive grounds?
Yep: ex-BBC is one of the more notable examples.
What he said is probably why he’s the ex-head of the vaccine taskforce!
Thought it was invasive bamboo.
Wasn’t it Dr Harold Shipman who said to his patients “This injection is goint to make you feel better”.
He might well have done – and issued quite a few dodgy death certificates to get away with it.
Would those in the NHS who were “boostered” last year be requiring another in April, when their compatriots not having jabs are being sacked?
From the timing, I’m guessing that Dr Dix was told that he wouldn’t be receiving any gongs for his service, and so has little left to lose by telling the truth.
He said ministers should urgently back research into Covid immunity beyond antibodies to include B-cells and T-cells (white blood cells).
well this won’t happen because it will help out those who are “recovered” and refusing the vaxx…. which might also be difficult for quite a lot who believe they “had covid” by dint of pcr and then find it was a lie if they remain in jabbed
but of course in reality it would just be a massive dna data collection excercise and as he clearly states
This could help create vaccines for vulnerable people specific to Covid variants,
cretin…..retired but always a company man at heart
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
