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.

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.

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.
