Johnson removed Covid protections to save his job.

The consequences are not only an increase in the chance of getting Covid for us all,...

...his decision has also led to a dramatically reduced vaccine uptake.

1/7

After a monumental effort by the NHS we achieved a good start to boosting the population...

We were doing well with boosters in December.

Then the 'Covid is Mild' narrative kicked into high gear...

Then on 3rd of Jan the PM announces:

"plainly milder"

And goes on to say:

"My view is that all the evidence [shows] Omicron is much milder, considerably milder than previous variants."

This of course was absolute Boll****s.

At this point, Covid inpatients had tripled, people were dying in ambulances, A&E waits over 12 hours for thousands,....chaos.

Note the drop off in vaccine uptake:

The narrative continued throughout January...culminating in the PM issuing a statement to the House of Commons indicating they will be ending Plan B...

Vaccine uptake continued to plummet. Now one of the worst of all HIC countries...

And no, it's not because we had vaccinated so many:

After Johnson announces Omicron is mild...came the predicted surge in deaths...

Currently, the UK has slipped well behind in boosters...

And we are now one of the LEAST vaccinated countries in the entire HIC world:

Covid is still taking up over 10% of all medical hospital beds.

And the knock on effects on care are catastrophic:

- longest A&E waits in history.
- worst cancer waiting times in history.
- 6.5m waiting for care.

And so much death and disability.

All to save one man's job, and a political ideology that has already been debunked.

No, the free market cannot step up when there is a global threat...The State matters!

And no, your right to be mask-free does not trump the right to life.

Tory Party, moral bankruptcy looms!
