Fully Vaccinated Brits Won’t Have to Self-Isolate After Coming Into Contact With a Covid ‘Case’ From Monday

The legal requirement for fully vaccinated Britons to self-isolate for 10 days after coming into contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid will be replaced with advice to take tests from Monday. If a test comes back positive, isolation rules must still be followed. Unsurprisingly, there will not yet be any changes to the rules for those who haven’t been ‘jabbed’. The Guardian has more.

Ministers have confirmed that the legal requirement to isolate will be replaced with non-binding advice to take a test for the double-jabbed, as well as those 18 and under. And those who do come into contact with the infected will not be told to isolate while waiting for their results. For people who do test positive, isolation will continue.

The Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, said on Wednesday night that the Government was able to go ahead with the decision to exempt the fully vaccinated from isolation rules on August 16th, as planned, because “getting two doses of a vaccine has tipped the odds in our favour and allowed us to safely reclaim our lost freedoms”.

Although Boris Johnson was under pressure from business to bring forward the August 16th date, because of disruption caused by the ‘pingdemic’, he said last month that timetable was “nailed on” and there was no likelihood of it being moved.

But when the details were announced on Wednesday night, they were less restrictive than they might have been. The fully vaccinated and under-18s will only be advised to get a PCR test if they are a close contact of a positive case, not required to, and they will not be expected to isolate while they await the results of the test. …

According to the official data, there have been more than 9 million calls to people since the pandemic began from the English Test and Trace service telling them that they must isolate. Until now, this has been a legal requirement.

There have also been more than 5 million alerts sent by the Covid app in England telling people they should isolate for the same reason, although these ‘pings’ have not been legally binding for the recipients.

I’m not “vaccinated” and they’ll have to hold me down before I have it. But as I’ve never had the app and have blocked the NHS numbers how are they going to enforce this on me, if shock horror I come into contact with this not so deadly virus?

But according to Jeremy Vine at the BBC, as the Yellow Card system is only self reporting, it isn’t verified, so the vaccines are 100% safe and no one ever has been harmed by them. “Just tell me Jeremy, how do those who were otherwise fit and healthy but died after receiving the vaccine ‘self report’ their deaths?”

So UK has took its first step into the communist social credit system. First reward is that you don’t need to imprison yourself after being in the vicinity of someone who had a false positive test. Doesn’t matter that the fake vaccine does nothing to stop transmission/reinfection either – you were a good citizen for following the UK Regime’s orders.

I was speaking to a colleague yesterday who’s been ill for a couple weeks. He said he’d had both jabs and has taken covid tests repeatedly to see if he’d caught the phantom menace. Every time he took a test it came back negative so he phoned the doctor who did a “telephone analysis” and declared he was ill with covid (surprise surprise!).

A prime example of this complete and utter clusterfuck. He probably wasn’t ill with covid, though if he was, why did it get past his x2 super-deluxe artificial immune system we keep hearing about? Why did the all-important tests not detect it? How did the doctor know it was covid and not a flu? Was it an adverse reaction to the double jabs?

Deep, deep, somewhere hidden in the nonsense, will be the ability to ‘exempt’ yourself from all of this; just as one can exempt oneself from all the ‘covidpass’ drivel, and just as one could/can (where required, eg in ‘health’ situations) exempt oneself from the mask codswallop.

As ever a deafening silence re the 99.75% recovered from this deadly pandemic and who as a result do not need the “vaccine”. Recovery offers sterilising immunity, virus
finds it difficult to replicate meaning unlikely to transmit to others and/or “mutate”.
I wonder why the MSM in general make no mention of this.
I tried to point this out in the Guardian (I know) but my comment was traduced and now I’m pre- moderated ie banned.

The CDC in the US has withdrawn the current PCR tests – because they are shite and don’t work. Yet our government/PHE obviously didn’t get the memo. The other troubling thing with this is – it’s the jabbed who are making the cases but because I’m not jabbed, I would have to isolate for 10 days (not that I would as I don’t have the app and have blocked all NHS numbers. Even if they got through, they could whistle as far as I’m concerned). Nazi bastards.

That’s a misunderstanding. The CDC has announced that it will withdraw the specific PCR test it uses at the moment at the end of the year because better PCR tests have become available. The UK does not use the PCR test that is being withdrawn.

Please read the link I provided. They both work. The only reason the US is going to stop using the current PCR test is that there others that work more quickly and efficiently including some that can test for Covid and Flu simultaneously.

Reading between the lines they are following what we have been saying on this site from very early on. When PCR testing was handed over to any old company instead of being overseen in a proper lab, there was horrendous contamination, false readings etc. This is really admitting that they were wrong to do that. The PCR in essence won’t change, it’s about quality control, new assays, new reagents, new protocols…basically to try to limit the damage done and try to regain some semblance of test quality.

Batshit crazy!
Patients admitted to hospital with a Delta infection after double inoculation are being found carrying a high viral load, something that is the hallmark of ADE.
Only if the intention is to achieve herd immunity by infecting as many as possibly could this course of action be considered not batshit crazy.

Can anyone give another explanation?

Ohhh this would make sense as to why the ct counts are different? I knew there was more to this graph from the other day.

I’ve cut the key off but the lines with ct count ~20 are Delta and the lines with ct count ~30 were Alpha(?) sorry can’t remember what scariant came before.

No surprise there, proper vaccines work by reducing or hopefully zeroing the effects of being infected. They neither stop one becoming infected nor stop one spreading the disease. This is vaccine fact, however I’d be prepared to accept they may reduce the transmission rate as the infected vaccinated person may be infectious for less time.

Why they are still treating unvaccinated differently from vaccinated beats me, as it must surely now be clear to them that the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmissibility or susceptibility. My only guess is that they’re ‘saving face’ having so definitively claimed the vaccine was our “passport out of the restrictions”, so cannot be seen to be wrong.

“Fully vaccinated” implies protection. If only the “vaccines” prevented infection or transmission, or hopefully both. Now even the mainstream realise that these cocktails do neither. But the push/ nudge to a fully vaccinated population grinds on relentlessly. Why? Because the pr*cks in charge are doubling down and using this great “opportunity” to terrorise the masses, to muzzle us and keep us in our place. Clearly this situation has nothing to do with public health. I seem to be surrounded by spineless sheep, unthinking clowns too afraid of their own shadows to challenge anything , prepared to do anything to be able to go on holiday. I despair for our future.
