Every week there will be a new virus, hoping to scare us. A vaccination, that nobody has any idea what the long term effects will be on the DNA, owing to the RNA in the vaccine. As confirmed by Mark Zuckerberg. A vaccine, that does not protect you from the virus, just minimises the symptoms. A virus, that is so handy when politicians want complete power and control over their subjects. Meanwhile, how many are waking up to what is really demanded from us all?

This was inevitable, as are future mutations. We have the vulnerable vaccinated, there is no reason to continue the lockdown for a virus with a negligible death rate among fit and healthy humans.

It's not convenient. It is predictable cause and effect. As it says in the article, if nations like the US & UK ( and others) deliberately allow huge case loads of covid, you are more likely to get mutations. Once you have so many mutations, there's more chance of creating a dangerous mutation of V.O.C. This is all totally self-inflicted. If you want to blame anybody, start with the idiots who have spent 12 months telling you that covid isn't serious, that it's like the flu etc

Then so be it. It's unbeatable. As it transpires, it is clear that the masks don't work, the vaccines don't work (in total), so life must go on as best it can. As has been the case for a year now, it's a case of save one life over another. The numbers of people that have died and will ultimately die prematurely because everywhere is shut - no investigations, no treatment, etc etc. will be millions more than died those having died with Covid-19. The thing is this though, there will be no transparency and we will never know.

This whole pandemic is based on fear and lies. The fear that you could have a virus and pass it on without knowing about it. That's the fear that the government has put into people's heads. You just need to listen to the radio adverts. They are laughable. But this idea is based on a test result. If the test result is wrong, then so is the theory and there is no need for any lockdown or anything because people do what they normally do and if you have symptoms stay at home. That's how thin the idea of this whole pandemic is.

The second is the French mutation which forces people to eat lots of cheese and walk around holding a white flag.

No one is scared anymore so just stop all this BS reporting. You can tell by how busy the roads are and the fact that people are no longer diving into main roads to avoid another person walking down the pavement. These adverts on tv need to be banned too - the "can you look into their eyes and tell them your journey was essential" is an awful ad. Psychological abuse no less. We've all sacrificed a year of our lives - some more than others. I lost the job I loved - I'm not prepared to give up anything else for a virus with an extremely high survival rate. What about the millions of people who are still waiting for life saving treatments/ operations/ appointments etc? It's selfish to expect over 60 million healthy people to carry on giving up their freedom to protect a very small number of people. Yes it's sad that people have died but it's also sad that many more will die because of lack of treatment, depression, loneliness etc.

If it mutates then all we can do is manage the virus. It's here forever. We just bring out yearly jabs for those who want it. We cannot have lockdowns and limits on liberty. Covid is a fact of life. We will just have to accept its a risk for and we should all exercise snd be healthy so we can fight it off. This way you wouldn't be at risk of death until way into 80s. The total death rate without a vaccine is 0.27% according to the CDC. With a vaccine we will be down to under 0.1%. We cannot ruin the living standards of 100% of people when 99.99% won't die from it.

Humans are social creatures. We crave social interaction. We enjoy each others company, shaking or holding hands, kissing, cuddling, having conversations, singing in pubs, dancing in clubs and cheering at sports venues. Every day we exchange droplets of bacteria that are dealt with by our immune systems and thats how we achieve herd immunity. This is how the human race has survived pandemics for millennia. Isolation through lockdown, masks and social distancing prevents this essential exchange of bacteria. It seriously weakens our natural born immune systems. And this is why we are constantly being locked down and forced to follow more and more bizarre restrictions. For the first time in human history, an elected government has deliberately prevented us from acquiring natural herd immunity in an effort to make us reliant on lucrative annual vaccinations...

3 weeks to flatten the curve (March 23, 2020). We have to lockdown so that the NHS is not overwhelmed. The R rate just has to be under 1. Wait for the vaccines, they will be the key to your freedom. We only just have to vaccinate the vulnerable (70s/80s/90s/100s). We have to wait till everyone (including the children) is vaccinated. The vaccinated people have to isolate for 3 weeks to achieve maximum immunity. There are now 4000 new variants we have to flush them out. The 4000 new variants are merging into one super-variant and have bypassed the vaccines so you still have to wear masks, social distance and we still need lockdowns to crush the virus.

The vaccine doesn't kill the virus, just stops the host getting ill. So in fact it just teaches the virus to change or get stronger. Falling numbers now are due to lockdown not the vaccine. The virus will continue to be around getting stronger whilst no-one gets ill until the day it gets strong enough to beat the vaccine and we are back at square one.

For something so small it is a resilient clever *swear word* determined to make its mark on the earth's population and survive.

Once upon a Time there was a virus called covid, a simple fellow born in the labs of the far far away Kingdom of Storytelling. The little virus aimed to spread himself all over the world with the help of his authors, the LetsInvent a NewTwist elves who worked for the elite in the Kingdom of Storytelling. Of course, given free rein, they could add lots of little spin-offs from the original little covid character, whom no one in the real world had ever seen isolated for them to get a sample; But who needs reality when you can cause confusion with fantasy. Like all stories, the people soon became suspicious and began to see many contradictions in the growing chapters. Eventually the people will live happily ever after, but they certainly need to cast fiction aside and seek the truth, something that is being ignored, even outlawed by the Storytellers.

The Scientists for actually letting this information out (although, how serious it really is, is debatable, knowing how "truly" the media report on things) but primarily the media, for salaciously and joyfully plastering it all over the place. Only when it has been categorically proved that there is a particular problem and how it is going to be dealt with, should it be reported on. This "maybe", "possibly", "this could be a real concern, however....., "not sure, but...." carry on is absolutely ridiculous. JUST SHUT UP UNTIL THERE'S SOMETHING CONCRETE TO REPORT ON!!!

If you made a product for health, & you knew it was safe, would you need indemnity? If you set up a company & hadn't yet produced a viable mRNA vaccine & you rushed a vaccine to market without doing animal studies or long term testing, would you want indemnity from prosecution for your vaccine? If you were in government, & gave indemnity for a product that hadn't completed proper testing, to the point that you saw fit to give indemnity to the manufacturer, thereby admitting you're aware of the risks, would it be manslaughter, premeditated murder, or worse if you coerced the public into having the vaccine and it caused deaths. The fact that indemnity was given, means that there should be not one peep of coersion. These are very serious issues, that wander into the domain of true crimes against humanity.

Instead let's be distracted by the lies and not focus on the arrogance of the West who sat on the fence for months debating if a virus even existed and the effectiveness of masks. Look at the other countries neighbouring China who have effectively crushed this virus. Why you may be asking but your government won't want you to? Let's throw a hate provoking news story to divert their inadequacies and they will not want the focus to be on them.

A meal-ticket for generations of the very same scientific community that likely started it, then made themselves indispensable advisors to Governments to mis-control it - all the time advising the continual imprisonment of humanity for their fascinating study and experimentation of an unprecedented epic - if self-created - Western societal and economic meltdown! So, The People's Republic of China will proudly sponsor 'The Australian-Virus University' (all technology supplied by Huawei, of course) - the virus that bankrupted the Western world...funnily enough, down to a 'level playing-field' (and similar levels of quality of life) with Third-world countries.

They can't even figure out or agree on the approach or get the data right for one strain - But I find it interesting how quickly they identify "new" strains. What a new way of dictatorship and controlling people... this is all politics! We don't go into lockdowns over all the diseases... Last year we didn't know what it was.. now we do, and it's time to learn to live with it - stop this BS.

Of course they mutate that is what they do, there are thousand and millions of viruses swirling around us all the time 24/7, they ride on currents high in the atmosphere the move globally then descend to earth depending on weather conditions. Planes and space craft constantly going through different layers adds to the problem... do not be scared, be a healthy weight, look after your immune system, be as healthy as you can, mentally too, being scared effects the immune system.

They are completely IMMORAL. So far they're liable for 110,000+(forecast 220,000) dead, est 5,000,000+ infect! Cause - Gov from the start not closing the external borders , hence 1000's from worst infected countries cont'd to arrive, Airports; Seaports, Roads & Rail remain open; not closing all borders between countries and counties; not full lockdown; not control the move'nt and congr'tion of people; selfish people are not abiding by the rules & laws; led by leaders who do not morally care. Since March its chaotic UK mismanagement to correct gross errors & lies. PM 1st report: A better 2021! 44th Report: Data Focus - only 43,403+ dead; 1,709,726 infect'd so far this year.

Nays4yer - the influenza virus isn't a coronavirus. How do you not know that after around 12 months of this? COVID-19 isn't a virus, it is the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. You can't "isolate" a disease. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has been identified and isolated by all the companies working on vaccinations. Genetic material has been added to the ChAdOx1 construct, that is used to make proteins from the SARS-CoV-2 virus called Spike glycoprotein. This protein is found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 and plays an essential role in the infection pathway of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Does this help you?

It is not as obvious as you think. Simply put, you are wrong. Mutations happen all the time, the more people with active sickness at any moment the higher chances of mutation. While you let it run wild you will have millions of active cases at any moment and rate of mutations will be much higher. There are no New Zealand or Australian mutations because there is nothing to mutate. There are UK and US variants because quite a few people who not experts but "with a brain" use their weird common sense.

Why do we need to read anything other than the Oxford/AZ data which is tested and verified by the MHRA? We have moved on from all this conspiracy nonsense and it's efficacy in those aged over 64. There are data coming out weekly showing the efficacy surpassing expectations, even more so because of the extended time now between doses. You don't want it? Then don't take it when you're due it. I suspect that you are between 20-30 years old and therefore, at minimal risk anyway.

Lipservice, I am an experienced biochemist and work in medical research, and far far older than you estimate.I have already willingly been vaccinated.I have read the data in the Lancet and have watched many interviews of the scientists who designed and decided on the efficacy.The AZ vaccine was designed in one weekend.The trials focussed on different variables, so it lacked consistency in putting data together.Although it has been proved safe for emergency use there are still holes in the data which will only be filled once mass vaccine data is analysed.Hopefully it will be better than I predict but for now we cannot be certain as the evidence is thin.

Your life won't be worth living anyway in a society that restricts your freedoms, your desires, your joy and your goals. Not religious, but do you underestimate the human spirit and it's need for emotional well being and fulfilment? Are these fundamental human traits not the very source of motivation that help you to pursue your desires and goals? Or is a plasma tv, 5g and total connection and compliance to the big brother tech grid all you desire in life? Is that the only legacy you wish to leave without a fight? What about kinship, friendship? People seem to be putting up walls to others for no good reason. We are meant to socialise outside of a screen and cable. This new era of legal human experimentation and subservience as drones to unseen forces is a precept to our slow extermination. Ergo, we are ALL expendable. Middle age will come to you soon enough, and one day you or your children may thank your predecessors for at least trying to expose it.

This is the point some scientists are trying to raise - the fact that the vaccines do not provide steralizing immunity which could mean , as you have pointed out, that the virus will be given the chance to mutate stronger.

It's all we've got. The NHS can't cope with too many being sick all at the same time. It's not outside the realms of possibility that this is a potential global extinction event we're trying to outrun, but can't.

That is what we need to do. The deaths stats only rose after vax had started - which they said to 'expect'. As if expectation makes the demise of human lives ok? Remember, these CRISPR based vax are experimental - previous lab studies had high death rates in lab rats 50-80-100% respectively. As for nanoparticles - they have NO clue how the body will metabolise those, how much will be excreted and how much will remain in the body, and what cumulative effects they will have on years to come with successive vax. We are lab rats for elites - it is they who will benefit from living longer, in healthy bodies. They are just using us to get that knowledge so they can be in charge 10 times longer than we will be allowed to exist. people think it's sheer fantasy, but that's because they have been conditioned to not question or make connections - and just in case they have the critical skills, they do much of it underhandedly ' or sell it as 'greater good' - benefits that only serve the PTB..

Blair privatised it. Many services were contracted out to below par providers. They just pretended it wasn't the case (LIED). St Mary's (Norwich I think) is all privatised. Many new NHS sites built under Blair/Brown were built using high interest PFI's and NHS land sold only to be rented back costing taxpayers billions in repayments. Look at what they did to Blackburn Infirmary - developers let the main building go derelict so they could demolish it and build high value homes instead of developing it into flats.(It was paid for by the public out of their wages when first built - so the land and building belonged to them, not local gov!)

You need to realize the experiment is actually how much scaremongering people can take before they become completely complicit with whatever authority wants to do. We all know a virus "could" mutate (including join with another strain), and "could" become stronger, and "could" become more contagious, and "could" become more deadly, a d "could" become resistant to vaccines...but they also "could" be brought under control as has been done already thousands of times before yet that's never mentioned. Legit "scientists" would present both sides of the equation, and legit news sources would also.

Agreed! however normally only after you've survived the original illness and the bodies got the TCells working. Probably why the new vaccine allows you to catch the virus...
