Jonathan Van-Tam Declares That Too Many Think the Pandemic Is Over

Worried about rising case rates, Jonathan Van-Tam, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer, has told members of the public to receive their booster shots and wear masks, while also commenting that too many think that the pandemic is already over. The Mirror has more.

He warned the every day actions of Brits will be crucial in determining how bad the pandemic gets.

Britain has had among the worst infection rates in Europe over the past month, and few restrictions to stop the spread of Covid.

So far the Government has resisted calls to launch its ‘Plan B’, which would see a return to home working and mandatory face mask wearing.

“The rates are still very high at the moment”, Professor Van-Tam told BBC Breakfast and BBC Radio 5 Live.

“They are higher than in most of Europe. And we are running quite hot – I think that’s the right expression.

“And, of course, it’s of concern to scientists that we are running this hot this early in the autumn season.

“And so, from that perspective, I’m afraid it’s caution, followed by caution, and we need to watch these data very carefully indeed over the next days and weeks.”

He added: “Too many people believe that this pandemic is now over. I personally feel there are some hard months to come in the winter and it is not over.

“The caution that people take or don’t take in terms of interacting with each other: that is going to be a big determinant in what happens between now and the darkest months of the winter”.

Despite a recent 10% dip in weekly cases, the UK remains at the top of the European charts when it comes to daily Covid infections.

What he means is that ADE infections could have potentially dreadful effects on the population.

But anyway…..if two jabs don’t work – why is Van Tam so sure that three will?

This really is the most appalling fraud.

These badly tested and miss-labelled COVID vaccines came too quick to market – what they be are leaky transfection gene-therapies. What’s now becoming patently clear to a growing band of medics worldwide is that [classic] SARS Cov2 and its now continuously mutating infectious variants is in fact endemic, it’s a type of coronavirus that’s here to stay with us for ever after.

Thank Gates, GAVI, Fauci, Bat Lady, EcoHealth Alliance and all the other global virology lab players involved that have their dirty sticky fingers all over this release.

Zero COVID?

PMSL

What these boffins have created is the perfect bio-security booster subscription service – for them and GloboCap – albeit a shitty one for you as injecting people with out-of-date behind the mutation curve mRNA/DNA tech guarantees – as the months roll-on with booster jabs – they become less and less effective but accumulatively multiply the bad side-affect profiles while overwriting and weakening your body’s own natural respiratory disease defences.

See what they did there?

The sheeple were promised freedom, initially, when the vulnerable were fake vaccinated. We are now heading for 5-11 year olds, following Biden again, who are not even going to notice a cold. They know these jabs are not working, and are hurting the under 60s more than helping. They had no Plan B after hitching their wagon to “vaccines”, so now they are blaming the people they are supposed to protect. Where was the NHS, and where are GPs?

They are making up their own “science” as they go along to suit whatever narrative they intend to push, sorry I meant nudge there.

The proof for what I have just written lies in the fact that people who have been vaccinated have died in such huge numbers, which for previous vaccination campaigns would have seen the vaccine withdrawn from the market, and the manufacturer subjected to lawsuits. That hasn’t happened in this case, despite the calls of many eminently qualified people in this field, and not only that but the manufacturers cannot be held legally liable for the deaths and injuries which have resulted.

Stop all testing except for those in genuine need of hospitalisation and the UK might have the lowest ‘infection’ rate in Europe. The Covidian peasantry still can’t grasp that excess testing produces excess cases or that cases do not equate to actual illness or imminent death.

I accept there was something in March and April 2020.

It was over by the end of April (and would have been without lockdown)

Since then its just been endemic with waves coming and going – not epidemic though

And as its completely harmless to people who aren’t mortally ill – it was never something to throw the 2011 pandemic plan out for – the plan that said don’t lockdown

Despite the best efforts of the UK’s truly world-beating PCR testing machinery, we are running decidedly less hot than this time last year and even despite the fidgeting with the hospitalization numbers (25% openly admitted to be fiction, hence, presumably at least 75% fabricated to order), things aren’t really going to plan.

Only the pandemic of independent press conferences of so-called government advisors isn’t yet over.

Luke – “worried about rising case rates” … stop right there. Your job as a journalist is not to assume and assure us that Van Tam is telling the truth. Your job as a journalist is always to think: in what way is this bastard lying to us? Even if it is Mother T.
We know Van Tam is lying about his motivations because we know masks don’t work. And why should people who’ve had boosters wear masks if the boosters are effective?
“Immediately after the end of the Climate Change conference, Van Tam has demanded a public increase in mask wearing” would have been better.

Good points. We know Van Tam is lying, he knows damn well he is lying too.

“There is no evidence that general wearing of face masks by the public who are well affects the spread of the disease in our society,” Jonathan Van-Tam, England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer, said at a government news conference.

And I think that the public has realised that. Mask wearing at my local supermarket now down to 20%, social distancing and one way traffic went out of the window weeks ago. Still some maskoids wearing them whilst driving alone in their cars though, although mercifully few.

I’m not sure I’m on board with everything being said here, but it is well worth a read: Stupid and Evil in Equal Measures ‘Very soon, millions of children will be vaccinated against a virus that is less dangerous to them than influenza. These useless vaccinations will kill some of them, and they will not save any lives. As outrages go, this one is very far up there. It is also the latest in a long line: Many countries have for months observed a sustained trend of elevated mortality in younger demographics, almost surely the result of vaccine-induced myocarditis. It is now plain that the press will downplay indefinitely widespread economic and supply chain chaos, following months of unprecedented and totally pointless closures. Suddenly millions of people cannot leave their supposedly open, democratic countries, or engage in economic activity, without submitting to medical treatments they don’t want. On top of all this comes months of media hysteria and repeated population-wide house arrests—all to box in a virus that, as pandemics go, clocks in at merely somewhat-bad. ‘A big problem, is how to understand this.
