Days after the French govt declared mandatory vaccinations for 'anyone in contact with the elderly or frail', the British govt has declared likewise for 'anyone anywhere large crowds gather'...
Comment: Extraordinary only to sleeping people.
In a move that provoked an immediate backlash from Conservative backbenchers and the entertainment sector, the prime minister said that from late September, once all adults have had the chance to receive two jabs, Covid vaccine certificates would be made mandatory in England.
"I should serve notice now that by the end of September, when all over-18s will have had their chance to be double jabbed, we are planning to make full vaccination the condition of entry to nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather," he said.
Comment: Forget the nightclubs part - that's just the crack-in-the-door through which this will be expanded out to all activities.
Unlike at pilot events, where customers have been allowed to show evidence of a negative test, they will have to prove they have been double-jabbed amid concerns in government about vaccine uptake among young people. Some 35% of 18- to 30-year-olds are unvaccinated, he said.
Addressing younger people directly, Johnson said: "Some of life's most important pleasures and opportunities are likely to be increasingly dependent on vaccination."
Comment: The quiet part is: "That's why we're targeting those opportunities first. We'll get you all in the end..."
Less than 18 hours after almost all Covid restrictions were formally scrapped, allowing clubs to open and putting an end to mandatory masks and social distancing, the prime minister expressed concern about what he called the "continuing risk posed by nightclubs". From just after midnight on Sunday, thousands of revellers were pictured dancing at clubs across the country as they celebrated "freedom day".
Johnson was delivering a press conference from Chequers, where he is self-isolating after contact with the health secretary, Sajid Javid, who has tested positive for Covid.
Comment: No he has not. He took a lateral flow test, which is hopelessly unreliable to begin with, showing (at best) that he had some SARS-CoV-2 viral sequence in his system. He does NOT 'have Covid'.
This was almost certainly a political stunt to 'cast a shadow' over 'Freedom Day' and justify today's 'surprise' mandatory vaccination dkitat.
The prime minister spoke alongside England's deputy chief medical officer, Prof Jonathan Van-Tam, and the chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, both of whom struck a sombre tone about the challenges ahead.
Vallance said hospitalisations could potentially rise "quite a lot higher" than 1,000 a day as the lifting of restrictions allows more socialising, while Van-Tam repeatedly underlined the risks of unvaccinated people gathering in crowded indoor venues.
Asked what would happen if the NHS struggles to cope over the summer, Van-Tam said the Scientific Advisory Committee on Emergencies (Sage) would have to make recommendations, which could focus on "close contact indoors".
Vallance said 60% of people currently in hospital with the virus were double-vaccinated - a figure it is understood has caused concern at high levels of government, though Vallance said it was not surprising.
Comment: And yet they go ahead and announce that every adult must get the thing that is clearly playing a role in putting people into the hospitals they said must be saved, hence the prime reason for lockdowns in the first place...
As ministers scramble to manage the fallout from surging Covid cases, Johnson also announced that "a very small number of named, fully vaccinated, critical workers" would be allowed to return to work after being ordered to self-isolate.
These workers, in sectors such as the police, energy supply, food production and transport, will be allowed to leave quarantine, solely to work, if they take a negative PCR test and continue to have daily rapid tests.
Their employer will have to consult with the relevant government department before allowing them to return.
Conservative backbenchers were quick to criticise the new plans to make vaccine certificates compulsory for some venues. Former Brexit secretary David Davis said, "vaccination is sensible. But it is entirely wrong to try to coerce people into having them."
Mark Harper, a Tory MP and former chief whip who leads the lockdown-sceptic Covid Recovery Group, suggested the government could struggle to win support for the measures among other Conservatives in parliament.
He said: "I have to say I don't welcome the minister's statement, particularly vaccine passports for crowded venues, which is effectively moving to compulsory vaccination. I do however look forward to the debate and the vote in parliament when he will bring forward the evidence because I don't think that is supported by the pilots that have taken place."
Comment: A witty comment on the fact that fundamental freedoms are once again removed by diktat, with not even the fig leaf of parliamentary due process.
Ministers had previously backed away from the compulsory use of coronavirus certificates - which involve customers using the NHS app to show their vaccination status - in part because of backbench Tory hostility. In a recent vote on compulsory vaccinations for care workers 31 Conservatives rebelled.
Labour and the Liberal Democrats oppose the plans, raising the possibility that Conservative rebels could defeat them when they come to parliament in the autumn.
Justin Madders, shadow health minister, said: "This make-it-up-as-you-go-along government is causing more chaos when what people and businesses need is certainty. How can it be safe to go to nightclubs now, with no protective measures, if in September it will require double jab status? It makes no sense."
The Lib Dem home affairs spokesman Alistair Carmichael said: "Vaccine passports are Covid ID cards: unworkable, expensive and divisive."
Businesses reacted with fury. Michael Kill, chief executive of the Night Time Industries Association, said: "What an absolute shambles ... . The government's own report into vaccine passports found they were more trouble than they're worth - so what could possibly explain the about-turn, just as millions across the UK experience their first taste of a night out in a year and a half?"
Comment: What indeed. Ask Bill Gates! He knew how this would go down in March 2020...
The latest survey from the Office for National Statistics, carried out in the month to 20 June, found that about 10% of all people aged 16-29 reported being hesitant to get the Covid vaccine, dropping to 5% for those aged 30-49 and 1% for over-50s.

it's long past time for the shootin' to start. Oh, wait..... Only the tyrants do that in the UK.
I am associating with only unvaxxed...which is apparently why I'm alone so much.
Grocery store visit this morning was rather interesting. After weeks of fewer and fewer people wearing masks, this morning everyone was wearing a mask...again. I can only presume that American TV has upped the control dial on fear. I saw only two people without masks.
The power of suggestion I can only suppose. This fellow from England speaks of suggestion and hypnosis. [Link] I don't watch American TV, but I see how so much of England has fallen sway with fear.
According to her, what has circulated and is circulating in autumn and winter are other strains, other viruses that are not descendants of the spring (virus).
According to her, each wave was caused by a different, new virus and have nothing to do with the spring (virus), which has disappeared. And the British mutation is already the fourth strain in a row.
“The spring virus was the first, the second in September, the third in December and the new one, the British, is the fourth. I would almost exaggerate to say that it was SARS-CoV-2 in the spring, SARS-CoV-3 in September, and SARS-CoV-4 in December until now.”
“And the British mutation should be called SARS-CoV-5. Each wave behaves clinically a little differently, the virus has a different genome, a different program, according to which it is written, “Peková specified.
“If the second or third wave came from the first, we would see the mutations that the virus picked up over time in the viruses of the second and third waves. But this is not the case. I have no idea where they came from,” Peková said.
“But it’s something else. And I don’t know where the cave they are flying from is, “the microbiologist pointed out, adding that the viruses are artificially modified according to her.
“My message has not changed since the spring: Find the cave from which it flies, close it, close its employees and its management. Many say we should prepare for another pandemic. My God, by no means. This must not set a precedent, “Peková said in an interview.
At the same time, she added that the virus does not behave at all the way natural isolates behave.
“It goes beyond everything we’ve ever seen. It’s from a bat and it’s modified to infect humans,” Peková said.
“Let’s just be vigilant, let’s continue to test and objectify what exactly is happening at a given moment,” the microbiologist emphasized.

This is from February 15, 2021. Why is it in a comment here?
Over.
@Tsidkenu, what is your picture???
The active creature can be filtered, and can be sequenced from a seemingly in tact genome.
Yes. I do like company; however, like you, I've been gifted with a blessed love of solitude. Where I live now is soooo quiet compared to crazy bird-man who used hoot and hollar bird calls out back where i used to live.
Everyday, I arise and say, "Oh, thank you, blessed Universe, for putting me into this unique environment where I hear nothing; see no one; have cordial relations with all neighbors (Hiya, neighbor!! How ya doin'?), and a very small patch of grass out back Worx can mow under five minutes." Yes, I live a blessed life.

Here's my solution for the young people in Kestopo England. Have pop-up nightclubs!! Have pop-up raves!! How about pop-up beach parties? All co-ordinated at the last minute on social media in code!! What fun! It would be like the old speakeasies during the Roaring 20s in the U.S.S.A. You would need the password and correct money only to enter. No credit cards. No bank cards.
I like this guy's attitude. Go to 7:39. [Link]
Why mentioning nightclubs ??? Because these clubs are frequented by the 18 to 40 year people, the only one's actively reproducing ?
Whether this mask is better, or whether that mask is better.
Or whether Ivermectin is better or whether ginger and meteorite dust is better.
That way people don't look at the big picture.
Many of their plans have changed. Musk accelerated the construction of satellite networks, and G5 terrestrial networks, etc., were put on hold.
what's in vaccines I don't know, but I suppose it's something to control people. They know they will lose this control.Currently, the only tool for controlling people is money. They know that after this tool breaks down, they will need something else to control people.
What will be the event?
One can speculate, in my opinion, we are at the time of rebooting. I hear about a solar flare which is also promising.
I am writing this on the basis of many years of observation, not overheard news.
I can add that something extremely important happened in 2019.The Earth's magnetic field has gone mad by several months, with a power it should not be allowed to generate!
I even have records from recorders from this period to have proof :-)
But this rush suggest they are under high pressure.
And haste invites mistakes.
I remember, at the beginning of 2020 I was caught by the Police for not having a mask, they wanted to give a ticket, I didn't sign, they threatened with the court, I didn't receive the summons.
It seems that they only have to frighten them, the lack of activity of the executive and judiciary, at least in Poland today.

O ur fellow men need a vaxxination pass of negative PCR test before ...
RC
Lenin supposedly said (I'm paraphrasing here):"I a revolution would start on a railway platform, the Germans would all buy a ticket before."
A sideslide on the over-socialisation of the average German even at that time.
Reading Marx Lenin et al. was NOT included, and I've always detested socialism/communism not from the flabby propaganda we were fed but because I knew that a system that expects everyone to care more about others than themselves and their loved ones is doomed to failure.

Rather, it was a psychological attack on the population, to flood them with falsehood and obvious contradictions until they were unable to distinguish reality from fiction. I think it partially worked.
But now, the methods have inproved, and media reach increased. I'd say, the same method works for the plandemic, considering the vaxxination numbers.
It was funny times, like today:-)
.
This is pure authoritarian totalitarianism fascist Nazism!!! If this had anything to do with "science" or health, they'd welcome a negative test. Actually, since everyone knows, or should know, that the Covid vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting Covid, a negative test is the best indication of safety. Far more informative then a positive vaccine score.[Link]
