Kenya to Ban the Unvaccinated From Indoor Spaces Despite Only 10% Of the Population Being Jabbed

From December 21st, Kenya will prohibit the unvaccinated from entering bars, restaurants, and public transport in an attempt to drive up vaccination rates to avoid a winter surge in cases. However, only 10% of the population have been vaccinated, with the Government setting a target of vaccinating only 20% by the end of December when the restrictions come into force. BBC News has the story.

Kenyans will be barred from bars, restaurants and public transport from December 21st if they are not fully vaccinated against Covid, Health Minister Mutahi Kagwe says.

The measures are aimed at increasing the rate of vaccinations ahead of the festive season.

Less than 10% of the population is currently vaccinated.

Kagwe raised concern about the slow uptake, saying a 10-day vaccination campaign would begin from November 26th.

Despite the concerns that some African countries have a shortage of vaccines, the Kenyan government is confident that it has enough for its inoculation campaign.

It has so far administered only 6.4 million jabs out of the 10.7 million it has received.

It is expecting a further eight million doses.

In a statement, Kagwe said Kenya had seen a decline in Covid cases over the last two months, with a positivity rate over the last 14 days ranging from 0.8% to 2.6%.

“The current decline in the number of new infections may be attributed to a build-up of immunity both through natural exposure to the disease and the ongoing vaccination exercise. Nonetheless we know that it’s not yet time to celebrate.

“We know that during the festive periods many of the known measures against the virus such as social distancing can easily get overlooked as people make merry,” Kagwe added.

From December 21st, people would have to be fully vaccinated to use public transport, including buses and domestic flights, or to enter hotels, bars, restaurants and game reserves, Kagwe added.

The same rule would apply to hospital and prison visits, as well as to Government buildings for education, immigration and tax purposes, he said.

The Government has set a target of vaccinating 10 million people by the end of December.

But this is just 20% of the total population, so the majority of the population could potentially be barred from Government services.

I expect the uptake is far higher than 10% in the major cities and I don’t think people are going to be checking out in the countryside. its kenya’s guardian reading class having a moral panic

That was my guess too, it will be the urban elite who have taken the vax.
Why should they care about the rural poor not having access to their bars, shops and restaurants?
Rather similar to the Soviet Nomenclatura having exclusive use of such places.

“Kill The Poor” as Jello Biafra would put it.

Might be a problem for their houseboys, cleaners, nannys and other domestic servants.

That’ll be a bonus to the NPD grauniad-reading classes.

Coherent with the general global strategy. Impose the new order on the gentry and the plebs will eventually follow.

At this point the well to do, urbanites are the only ones they care about. For now.

They’ve set up a good system of capture with the vax for travel rules.

Orwell foresaw this quite well in 1984. The regime cared mostly about the upper.echelons. The lower classes were.left to themselves.

That’s what the Kenya thing is about.

My thoughts exactly.

Nairobi average temperatures in November and December are 19 – 20 degrees Celsius.

In Africa It’s just a little more obviously a shakedown exercise than about health.

Me thinks is about international donors to public health than any attempt to handle their epidemic. He who writes the checks writes the rules. Given a) the young age of the population b) expose to other viruses c) limited benefit in stopping infections from vaccine (trending to nil over time) and d) the larger issues facing Kenya, this rule makes about as much sense as requiring everyone to have their wisdom teeth pulled before entering. I’m not conspiracy theorist but have seen and read of international donors demanding odd thing of nations in return for grants in the best of times.

So, any intrepid investigative journalist want to tackle this? Because the answers could be very illuminating.

Jabbing at risk populations made sense. Jabbing everyone didn’t make sense when we still had high hopes for the vaccine. I wonder if Kenya will be required to jab it’s 5 year olds too?

I sure the Kenyans have the infrastructure in place to police this. Thought not, none story.

Didn’t Nigeria introduce a similar policy months ago, with an even lower uptake? Any news how that has worked out for them?

Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

Well done Kenya. I should like to see how this works out. Thankfully it’s a warm country and so no one will be left out in the cold so to speak.

That reminds a little bit of “cargo cults” behavior… Just jab enough arms and the cargo will come. After all that’s what all the great white people are doing.
