Quarantine to End for Double-Jabbed Brits within Weeks

The Government has all but confirmed plans to end the requirement for fully vaccinated Brits to quarantine after coming into contact with a person who has tested positive for Covid. Ministers are concerned that some people could “game” the system, but are set to announce that the rules will change within weeks nevertheless. The Times has the story.

In the clearest sign yet of ministers’ plans to replace virus restrictions with a focus on personal responsibility, they intend to drop all legal requirements on those who have had both jabs if they encounter a confirmed case.

Despite acknowledging that unvaccinated people may also start ignoring quarantine rules and could “game” the system, ministers want to introduce the proposals next month.

Official estimates suggest that infections will increase by as much as 26% under the plans but the Government is likely to accept the risk to avoid further disruption to businesses, schools and public services. The change would bring England into line with other countries such as the U.S. and Germany. …

It is understood that at a meeting of the Covid operations committee on Monday ministers are expected to sign off a plan that will mean the fully vaccinated will be “advised” to take daily tests but not be required to do so.

Cabinet members believe that changing the system could allow them to focus financial support on people who test positive, after repeated complaints that infectious people and their contacts were not isolating properly because of a lack of compensation.

However, Government scientific advisers have warned that most people will refuse to take daily tests and that the change will mean compliance with quarantine guidance will go “out the window”.

Unfortunately, it will not go out the window. There will be creeping enforcement via sanctions ultimately leading to internment and execution. It will take a very few years to get there. They will not tolerate disobedience. Can’t happen here? Just watch. Soon the supply lines will be cut in cyber attacks for the next wave of fear designed to drive compliance.

This is not about healthcare.

A young relative of mine recently got tracked and traced. She has no idea where they got her number from as she doesn’t give it, apart from a trusted few, and she has no idea who was the contact that got her flagged. She’s a sensible girl and ignored both calls – she simply cannot afford to isolate for no reason for ten days. After only two attempts they gave up. Another less fortunate relative was ordered by university authorities to isolate for the last ten days of his first year at college. His dickhead housemate decided to take a test and reported the positive test to the university. Needless to say, they are no longer friends. (He’s been sneaking out for exercise frequently though – but his mental health has taken a plummet. God damn them all.)

But how soon will the novelty of getting injected again and again wear off, especially in the under 65s? My guess is that in the next 2 years, this whole scam will fall flat on its face. Vaccine passports will go out of date quickly if a booster shot is required every 6 months of so. The nhs won’t be able to keep up. People will be sick of side effects, they’ll still have to self-isolate when they test positive for something they thought they couldn’t catch, and they’ll be worried about stories of previously healthy people (including friends and family) dropping dead or losing their eyesight or being paralysed etc etc etc. Yep, my best guess is 2 years tops, and I’m more than happy to wait it out and watch the madness from the sideline.

Millions of us are of an age where are used to having the flu shot each year, plus others that come up as one-offs e.g. pneumonia, shingles. It doesn’t cause a problem and is much appreciated. I don’t see why it would concern younger people to do the same. (Especially if they can do flu and covid at the same time).

Either way my point is you constantly try to psychologically nudge and normalise the vaxx, even by saying you will go for your booster like the flu booster, as if they are similar or the same. They are not.
The vaxx only has emergency use authorisation which can’t last forever (I sincerely hope) and it hasn’t been licensed anywhere in the world yet has it?

All part of the continuing psy-ops, which I believe is faltering. The fact is track and trace has never been fit for purpose, other than enriching the providers and their pals. We know that estimates of around 30% of people contacted don’t ‘fully’ isolate for the recommended period. That’s before we get to the millions of people who never get contacted in the first place.
Most people in the UK have never used track and trace and have never isolated, it’s another conflated story from the lying MSM, meant to make us think everyone’s doing it, they’re not. Remember 600 million ‘missing’ or unused LFT’s?
It is wearing off for a lot of people, quite a few I know have done the first but haven’t done the second, others who have done both feel aggrieved and stupid and won’t get a booster. The longer it goes on the more people have realised it hasn’t ‘set them free’ in any useful way, nor will it.

I am always intrigued by this. I guess it all comes to definitions in the end but if I Google the definition I get:

a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease.

It seems to me all the products in use in the UK meet this definition.

Julian

Reply to  MTF

I always interpreted immunity as you were completely unaffected by something, and therefore could not pass it on. Perhaps no vaccine is quite that effective, but I think some are close. The covid ones seem a long way off.

If it was clearer what they did and did not achieve, and this was communicated to people, along with other facts such as trials are still ongoing, it wasn’t tested on the very vulnerable on whom it was used with possibly undesirable results, and for most people covid isn’t that dangerous, and that taking it or not would make no difference to your future status regarding travel or employment, I wonder whether the takeup would be so high.

Well, in the minds of the public vaccines confer immunity and my understanding of that word, which I would guess to be typical, is that you simply won’t “contract” whatever you have been “immunised” against and cannot pass it on. That doesn’t seem to be the case with covid vaccines. They are vaccines that don’t work very well I suppose. I think most people just assume that if you’re jabbed it’s job done. Perhaps they have been oversold.

So the reason for not calling them vaccines is based on a perceived lack of effectiveness? On the same criterion we should stop calling the flu vaccine a vaccine. What shall we call these treatments that help protect you from disease by preparing your immune system but are not 100% effective? Paravaccines perhaps?

Taking everything we are being told officially as gospel, the reality is that the absolute vast majority of people are naturally immune. Natural immunity is superior to vaxx immunity – it is lifelong immunity, and it is complete immunity. It is also perfectly balanced for the individual’s body. It is God created, as opposed to being created by say Pfizer, which has one of the worst criminal records of any company in the histroy fo the world. I’ll take God’s immunty, thank you very much.
C19 jabs only give immunity to the Wuhan spike protein. The misleaders are now encouraging the victims who have been misled into taking this shite that they now need boosters and that the immunity only lasts about 6 months. This is being messaged via the MSM.

No quarantine for double vaccinated … but this is a vaccine that does not guarantee that you cannot still get or spread the virus – they are even now discovering that those cases of the new variants have all had the vaccine – so basically the double vaccinated can still be spreading the virus and all the other variants without knowing it because they think they’re fully protected now they’ve been double jabbed when they’re not protected at all.

I can see the reasoning, but this has the effect of vaccine coercion, including in the workplace. It would be far more reasonable and effective to make it very simple:

“If symptomatic, isolate until you are well or have a negative test.”
“If you’re asymptomatic, get on with your life.”

Secondary transmission, even when symptomatic is low. Even if you share a bed it is around 1/3, and 1/6 if you share a house. Asymptomatic transmission is VERY rare – around 0.7%. Also, it’s entirely possible that 0.7% caught covid elsewhere as the study was done when prevalence was high. So asymptomatic people are not a risk from fleeting contacts in workplaces, shops, pubs etc. We have never treated asymptomatic people like lepers in the past regardless of vaccination status and there is no justification to start now.

“Fully vaccinated” A beloved phrase of the covidians, sadly adopted like so much of the newspeak by LS.

But there are boosters coming, so at what point do people who were “fully vaccinated” become non-fully-vaccinated because they have not had their boosters yet. It will be like painting the Forth Bridge – when you’ve finished it will be time to start again. There will NEVER be a time when everyone is “fully vaccinated”.

If you were going to invent a means of endless control, it would look a lot like this.

I wonder what would have happened if they had tried to fight pneumonia instead of Covid?

I bet the results would have been the same. Mass testing would have found it everywhere. People would have died within 28 days of a positive test. People would have gotten it more than once according to the tests. I reckon the virus is everywhere and it can certainly get up your nose now and again. This is only a problem if your immune system is weak, such as at the end of your life. For most it isnt a problem.

Trying to get rid of covid or pneumonia is an exercise in futility. Any measure you could take is stupid. And so it has been with covid, every government measure has been costly and pointless. No lives have been saved but many have been lost and we have made ourselves massively poorer on this wild goose chase. It is a pity that people are waking up so very slowly. At least they are of course, but so much life and lives have been wasted chasing an impossible goal.

You are so right about the immune system. I have no doubt that the NHS could save large amounts of money simply by introducing a regime that improves immune system effectiveness. Many people recommend vitamin D and there appears to be plenty of evidence supporting it.
Purely anecdotally, I have been taking it for over 12 months now and recently had my annual MOT (I am 75). All my measurements for body function (kidney, liver, heart etc) have improved significantly over the course of a year after regular slow decline and during a trip to the dentist last week for a 3 month hygiene my gum health had improved to such an extent that the hygienist insisted on showing me graphically just how big the improvement was.

There have been some minor tweaks to their recommendations recently along those lines. E.g. the recommended daily supplementary intake of vit D has been doubled (and in German ones it’s double again, so quadrupled from our old recommendation). So, 5 – 10 – 20 units; take your pick.

Watch for yourself and make up your own mind. Determine for yourself if these stories are fakes or real. Then ask yourself and your friends, “Is it worth it to risk life-changing and even fatal side effects from a vaccine for a disease that is survived by 99.98% of people under 70?”

It’s upsetting to see so many people’s lives ruined.

I’m not a health professional but a lot of these sound like blood clots and minor strokes (the ones that aren’t major that is).

Completely the wrong way round. As the double/triple-jabbed can still get covid, and still spread it, but with reduced/no visible symptoms, shouldn’t they be the ones who are tested and isolated? A non-jabbed person will get a cough/temperature and will know to stay home. The jabbed will just be out, spreading variants.

Acting as the devil’s advocate, it’s worth noting that the leaflets promoting it’s use explicitly say that they do not know if it has any effect on catching the bug or the likelihood of transmitting it to a third party. In effect, it is not a ‘real’ vaccine at all, rather a ‘mitigation drug’ for the vulnerable.

….if the leaflets do say that then government policy is bogus re travel abroad…and in many other areas,,of course.

I’ve never been jabbed and never will be.
I’ve never been tested and never will be.
I’ve never been in quarantine and never will be.
I’m exempt from wearing a useless mask.
I’ve never downloaded the ‘app’ and never will.
I’ve never had symptons, but if I do, then I won’t self isolate, because
a) I can’t (have to go get food)
b) need to help spread the virus to build up immunity in the population and help it mutate into something less serious
c) if I did isolate it wouldn’t make the virus disappear anyway (look at what has happened since last year with all the lockdowns!)
d) I have a human right to go outside.

The real sad thing is a great opportunity was missed in early lockdown last year when a window for health education encouraging people to improve their natural immunity and health was not utilised.
Of course that was far too sensible and logical.

And purposeful. I can think of no time during this pantomime where reassurance and wholesome health education has been forthcoming.

“Double Jabbed Brits”…

Yet again Mr Curzon goes that extra mile to echo the demonstrably false “vaccines make you free, we’re all in this together, Brits are marvellous, and so are our Doctors” narrative.

Neil Oliver has come out with a strong piece against vaxing kids on GB news today. Not sure how long this will last on YT but much of what he says is relevant to adults and their freedom of choice about vax as well as his outright opposition to jabbing kids

A fantastic thing to watch! Says exactly what we are all thinking, those of who are human that is. If only one person had this passion for what is good and right in the useless amoral stew of ‘Government’.
