War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Health is the deliberate mass infection of an entire nation’s children with a novel & mutating virus with unknown long term consequences
This man is an active danger to public health.
It is likely we will be at almost 100k cases/day when Sajid Javid will remove the mandate on masks.
‘We will have a country that is not just freer but healthier too’
At every step of this pandemic, the UK government has made deadly mistakes. But what’s happening now isn’t a mistake, it’s deliberate.
Sajid Javid has announced his ideologically-based decisions not to parliament but to an ideologically aligned newspaper. This isn’t health. It’s ideology.
Sajid Javid is literally condemning tens of thousands of children to long covid, a serious long-term condition with as yet poorly understood neurological and other effects
And then there's what this policy will do to the rest of the world. What variant are we going to produce next?? And what impact will this have on the rest of the (less vaccinated) world? edition.cnn.com/2021/07/03/hea…
What I've been struggling to understand is why ministers would put their own children at risk?
Maybe this is a clue?
Sajid Javid's children are privately educated. Term ends in many private schools this Wednesday.
Can we please now call it by its name? A reckless deliberate population infection strategy with unknown consequences not being contemplated by any other country in the world
I really hope @SadiqKhan is immune from ridiculous ideological rhetoric around masks. The idea that ‘personal responsibility’ is going to ensure mask usage is something only an Old Etonian who never uses the Tube could dream up. Has he ever met the British public?
The plan, to be clear, is that your children catch Covid now because Johnson thinks it’s less disruptive than in autumn…
Who do you trust? Sajid Javid? Or @chrischirp? This was from @IndependentSage’s Friday briefing & she couldn’t have put it any clearer. The government’s plan is ‘a terrible plan’
The government has given up pretending it’s following the science. Today’s announcements are pure ideology. The decision to remove all mitigations even while cases are increasing exponentially is inexplicable. The only way it makes sense is if you believe masks inhibit ‘freedom’
To understand the colossal gamble the government is taking, I highly recommend watching whole thing. Months from full vaccination, the government is throwing in the towel & letting the virus rip.
In all the time that @allthecitizens has been broadcasting @IndependentSage’s weekly briefings, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the scientists express such utter disbelief
We are embarking on a massive herd immunity experiment. We are truly stepping into the unknown. Please watch.
These are 2 clips from @chrischirp’s presentation of the data. We are looking at 90k cases a day by July 19. Look at these charts. We’ve never seen infection on this scale. This is massive population-wide experiment of a type that no other country in the world is contemplating
I highly recommend watching whole briefing. This populist govt that has made mistakes time & time again. Labour Party is missing in action. And cohort of scientists who sounded alarm from start believe it’s unethical unnecessary profoundly hazardous gamble
NEW: We lost in court today. But this is very far from over.
It is testimony to the seriousness of what’s at stake that it drew a cross-party MPs & Lords of this calibre, a legal team of this brilliance & the support of 2k+ members of British public.
Watch this space
To understand the nature of the challenge & the lack of precedent, the judge, Mr Justice Swift queried whether there was any difference between the actions of a hostile foreign state & a radio shock jock. Well yes, m’lud, unless TalkRadio decides to get into the Novichok business
At the heart of this case was an interpretation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights: the right to a free & fair election. But the judge blocked this from even being heard. Our counsel believe that he has erred in law.
