Demonisation of 'dissenters' has gone a little quiet this week as other stories took centre stage. Next week something else... The daily lunacy-du-jour keeps people deranged and focused on surviving the day; and keeps attention away from the bigger picture.
1/
Here's one story some of the media seem to have missed.

2/
Here's another.
As for the growing discussions about extending rollouts to kids, already approved and actioned in many places (perhaps worth noting the Israel story a couple of tweets up?)
Even the very nature of truth and reality (as dictated by our overlords) has been changing. So hard to keep up with what one must think this week.
Interesting to see that not everyone approves of all this though...
There was a reminder in the news this week of how things could be - & sometimes used to be - & haven't been through the last year and so much of recent history. The MSM thought the story was about physics. Imo it's about more than that.

"PM [Boris J] says he wants G7 to sign on to plan to vaccinate entire world by end of 2022"

"We need to have agreements on issues such as vaccine passports, COVID status certification and the rest,"

"Nobody is safe until everybody is safe," Boris (really) said.

"Johnson said that he sees a vaccine certification regime, or vaccine passport, as just one part of an international pandemic preparedness treaty that would set down approaches to deal with the next pandemic"

Hardly a temporary measure then.

"[UK] government has put some $1 billion into COVAX... a global vaccine-sharing initiative jointly coordinated by the World Health Organization, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance."

"incredibly striking" how busy hospitals were... with non-Covid backlogs... seeing more patients who put off treatment in the pandemic -& who now require more complex care & longer stays"

NHS boss, in odd BBC piece, mentioning the huge physical harms our actions caused.
1/
I'm sure what they meant to write was, "more patients WHOSE TREATMENT THE NHS PUT OFF in the pandemic - and who now require more complex care and longer stays."

The article is, of course, not billed as having anything to do with any of this. It's another unsubtle "V" title.

Lower down, the small issue of record waiting lists for surgery - the highest since records began - is mentioned, before going back to talking about how cases are rising, how we should have acted sooner; the standard lines of Covid times.

Usage of “EXPONENTIAL” in media is growing exponentially again!!
Yesterday, 2 exponentials were found in a news article. Today, 4!
Modelling proves that by June 21 every news story will use the word “exponential“ OVER 33 MILLION TIMES!
We must act now! Together we can stop this. Image
This article, from 28 May, used the word “exponential“ (or its variants, such as “exponential growth”) twice (subject to counting errors).
mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/b…
But this article, from 29 May - just ONE day later! - mentioned “exponential” FOUR times!

Plus ça change...
Does anything surprise anyone anymore?
"Boris Johnson's review of social distancing rules set to be delayed by Indian variant"

Let's be fair & not jump the gun as to outcome, but it's yet more uncertainty & yet more erosion of whatever trust still remains.
1/
"Mr Johnson's official spokesman on Monday said the review of social distancing rules would be published "as soon as possible based on the latest data, which will help inform us what measures we can take around certification"
Again, we shall see, but this doesn't sound...
2/
...quite the same as Boris's comments a couple of weeks ago, clearly hinting that there might be NO role for "passports" (screenshot attached).

“Ministers have warned vaccine refusers are the "principal threat" to the final lifting of lockdown restrictions on June 21“
Despicable. Government & media openly encouraging blaming & “othering“ of a section of the population. Where have we seen that before?
(brief thread)
To make matters worse, the @Telegraph also talks of people as “refuseniks”. Do they have no knowledge of the refuseniks of the former Soviet Union?

We can all quote numerous examples of the officially sanctioned blaming of a group within society -& the consequences. Don’t do it.
For a country that claims to be such a champion of “diversity” & “inclusion” this is a revolting - & depressingly predictable - turn of events.
This is not a matter of what you think of the vaccine or whether you wish to try to discuss or persuade reasonably. That’s fine.
