The rollout of the UK’s first vaccine programme proceeded with impressive speed.According to mainstream media, and in particular the main government propaganda mouthpiece The BBC, hundreds of thousands queued each weekend at mass vaccination centres in cathedrals and football stadiums. Selfies were taken and stickers handed out. As of last month, official figures claim, almost 46 million in the UK have received both doses of a Covid-19 jab anthough the cynics among us, having driven past these vaccination centres in all parts of the country and seen a maked lack of queues, or for that matter any human activity other that nurses and paramedics sitting around twiddling their thums, suspect the figures may be somewhat exaggerated. No matter, for purposes of this article we will take the official narrative at face value and suspend disbelief.
Whether the vaccine roll out was successful or not however, as of now, almost a year
since the UK became the first country in the world to approve a
clinically-tested Covid jab, cracks are starting to show in that narrative. We know that the vaccines do not work in the way vaccines should. They do not render vaccinated people immune to the COVID-19 disease, and the vaccinated people who do get it (a somewhat higher number than were being made ill by the virus a year ago, before there were any vaccines,) can and are still passing it on to other people both unvaccinated and vaccinated. And it is not only the vaccines that have failed.
Throughout 2021, the UK has introduced a complex patchwork of vaccine requirements, governing everything from whether or not you can enter a pub, theatre or sports match to whether or not you can fly away on holiday. Rules differ depending on your age, job and where you live. It’s created no end of confusion; even some experts admit they are struggling to keep up. And when it comes to the boosters people are obliges to have before they can be considered fully vaccinated and allowed to travel freely, many unlucky punter are now at a loss as to what they have to do and what will make them a social outcast, a second class citizen in the nation of their birth.
In addition to the coercion now being exerted on our democratically elected governments by scientists and medics in the pay of the Big Pharma cartel to vaccinate children (which goes against WHO and national health authority advice), we are being told the immunity (if any) provided by the vaccines is so short lived the entire population will need to get a booster shot every six months in order to protect them from a disease of which there is less serious risk that there is of your author dying from falling downstairs after tripping on his pajama trousers. To put this in perspective your author does not wear pajamas and lives in a house with no stairs.)

isn't it about time that the Government and Mainstream Media started being more open and honest about the increasing number of adverse reactions and deaths that are being reported
The divided family
Currently, any teenager in the UK aged between 12 and 17 is eligible for a Covid jab – but healthy teenagers can only receive one dose, not two. Unfortunately, one dose is not enough for entry into countries like Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Thailand and Malta, all of which require children over 12 to be double-jabbed if they want to avoid quarantine.
It’s a frustrating quirk of policy that is leaving families divided across oceans. Tanja Hoffman, a Canadian who lives in the UK, planned to fly over the Atlantic this Christmas to visit her 80-year-old mother and 83-year-old mother-in-law. Now, those plans are on hold. “To say we are devastated is an understatement,” Hoffman says. “Because the UK government won’t fully vaccinate our 17-year-old daughter we are unable to go home.”
This issue does not apply to teenagers with underlying health conditions, who are eligible for both vaccine doses.
The conundrum for 17-year-olds
Even compared to other teenagers, 16- and 17-year olds are finding the rules particularly confusing. In August, the Department for Health announced that everybody in this group should be offered one dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine, with their second jab only becoming available three months before their 18th birthday.
As a result, parents are now worried their children might have to wait for more than a year between jabs – far longer than vaccine scientists initially proposed. Pfizer-BioNTech recommended a gap of three weeks between doses; the UK government later increased this waiting time to 12 weeks. In January, the British Medical Association said a 12-week gap might be too long, undermining the jab’s effectiveness; they suggested cutting it to six weeks.
But nobody, it’s fair to say, envisioned a waiting time of a year or more – which is what parents fear their 16- and 17-year-olds might now be facing. After raising this issue at the vaccine centre, nurses have told parents they “never thought about that”.

Some countries, including popular ski destinations Switzerland and Austria, now say that incoming travellers must have received a third Covid vaccine within 12 months of their second jab. Otherwise, you will essentially be considered as unvaccinated and will have to pay for a private Covid test to secure entry. These tests can be famously difficult to arrange in the short window before your flight.
The policy has thrown the hope of winter ski trips into peril, because the NHS app doesn’t record booster jabs. The Department for Health admitted it had not designed the UK app to include boosters as “they are not required for domestic certification”. It also noted that most countries did not currently require boosters as an entry requirement, although it was “aware” that some countries had begun introducing expiry dates on vaccination for travel.
“We’ve seen time and time again during the pandemic that technology has not kept pace with the rollout of vaccines,” says Paul Charles, CEO of The PC Agency, a travel consultancy.

The patients denied a booster
Health Secretary Sajid Javid has been waxing lyrical in recent weeks about the need for patients to arrange their booster jabs as soon as they become eligible. “This truly is a national mission,” he declared on Monday. The Government has previously said that high uptake of boosters is necessary to avoid a Christmas lockdown.
But, depending where you live, it might prove near-impossible to find a slot. Some patients report spending hours on the phone to their GP or NHS booking service. Others say they are directed over the phone to walk-in centres, only to turn up and find out that no such service exists.
Faye Dickinson, 28, received her second dose at the beginning of May, and a few weeks ago received a text from the NHS urging her to get a booster (because six months had elapsed since her last dose).

Some patients have medical reasons barring them from getting vaccinated. They are still eligible to download a Covid passport, as long as they can provide proof, health officials say. But some patients remain confused about whether their medical condition qualifies – and answers are not always forthcoming. Isabelle Turner. a public relations consultant, suffered an allergic reaction to her first Covid jab in June. Her lips swelled and her face became itchy. She was told she could not have her second dose until she underwent special allergy tests, but she’s been sitting on a waiting list for those tests since August.
In the meantime, she cannot download a Covid passport on the NHS app. “Nothing has been communicated to me about being able to download it, so I presume [I can’t],” she says. “I might still be able to have the jab, so technically I won’t be medically exempt.

80 million Americans are still unjabbed yet no one from outside the US who isn't double jabbed will be allowed in. This is the politics of the asylum.

The mind boggles as to how this ridiculous web of nonsensical rules has come to be. The solution is really very simple. What we have here is a virus that is comparable in almost every conceivable way (symptoms, IFR, transmission rate, affected demographic - everything except the virus family) to a regular influenza virus. The data shows beyond all reasonable doubt that there is no increased threat beyond what is faced every year. These are undeniable facts, only muddied by ridiculous death counts measured by anyone who has died within 28 days of a positive test. If this same logic were applied to deaths within 28 of testing positive for a common cold, or within 28 days of tying one's shoelaces, the world would be in hysterics about the dangers of the common cold and shoes with laces. This is literally the logic that has terrified the world.
The solution is simple, which is to treat the virus as what it is. Those that are frail, take a jab, those that aren't - don't. This has worked for generations for influenza, and there is no reason to deviate from this plan. It is not Ebola, or Smallpox, or anything of the sort. It's a mild respiratory virus. Get a grip.
Quite apart from the fact that most people don’t really need any of these vaccines. Pfizer states on its website that the CoVID 19 vaccine booster is authorized only as an emergency use and for individuals aged 65 years and older unless in certain high risk groups.
It also uses the conditional tense to claim efficacy: “a booster dose may help preserve a high level of protection against COVID-19”…. Or it may not
A general mandate for booster rollout for everyone is unethical, immoral and contrary to manufacturers recommendations. I guess the lawyers have given up trying to prove it’s illegal since our judiciary has been effectively disabled in this respect.
The one you’ve forgotten is natural immunity and antibodies from having caught it. They apparently don’t count, even though they work and fewer people who have caught it once will catch it again. Indeed judging by the number of doubled jabbed people I know catching it, natural immunity from my small sample seems to be working better.
This will end very badly.

The public in general should simply stop listening to Johnson and his band of covid tyrants using it as a tool to extend totalitarian control over us.
For me aside from those things I couldn't ignore, pub shut etc., I've given this this covhysterical nonsense a swerve.
And why wouldn't I?
In my late 60s and in reasonable fettle.
Had an influenza jab in '73 and spent 2 weeks in dock.
Haven't had one since; haven't had influenza since either and only maybe 3 colds.
Indicates to me that my immune system is tickety boo and needs no help from some big pharma profit booster.
So, having ignored as far as possible all the ridiculous attempts to curtail my life and freedoms, why am I still in rudest of rude?
Why, because along with Johnson's green ecoloonery, this is one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated and all to make massive sums of money for vested interests and begin a techno-authoritarian process to control every aspect of our lives.
Long past time everyone binned this covhysteria and got on with living and stopped whimpering behind their settees.

There is NO reason on Earth to jab young people. I'm 74 and am not jabbed ,neither have I ever accept visiting a medical center ,worn a mask. I have asthma, I have had covid, and several other chest infections, I am still here, the media would probably class this old git as an Anti vaxxer, yet I am flu jabbed, so no, not true. I am anti Government lying propaganda which is totally unjustified and has to have an ulterior motive, but what?
Are seriously not going to mention the fact that
1) the latest research shows that immunity from infection is greater and lasts longer than being double jabbed. Therefore these people don’t need to be vaccinated. They will continuously topped up immunity from future harmless infections
2)considering that vaccines and masks don’t stop the spread of covid (they only slow it a bit), everyone will get covid eventually. Therefore getting vaccinated only protects you, not other people. Therefore, people who are not vulnerable, ie everyone below 50 without a co-morbidity, which is most people, do not need to be vaccinated, way back in November 2020 this was actually the opinion of the Head of the U.K’s vaccine task force in terms of who should get vaccinated
3) There are significant numbers of people who are reporting weird serious side effects after their first AND second dose, but since these side effects haven’t yet made it to the official side effects list, these people are being ignored, told it has nothing to do with the vaccine, and are now being told to take a third dose. This especially mad when you take into account the previous two points
So you are basically saying, very sensibly, that vaccine mandates anywhere are divisive, discriminatory and inhumane. It's just as well the vaccines are not dangerous to persons of colour, or WHO, governments and the woke really would have a problem.
