Keep being afraid – ‘Freedom Day’ will be cancelled!

 

It’s as we suspected ever since the covid PM declared that on June 21st we’d all be ‘released’, that lockdown would be over. He also said that there’d be ‘no more lockdowns after that day’. It was yet another lie. ‘Freedom Day’ won’t happen. 

’Ministers’ are now pondering if there should be a ‘final delay’ of four weeks, or perhaps just two weeks. They say that this delay is meant to give business the security of planning because it would be ever so bad if they’d have to let us out and then had to get us back into lockdown again. They were clearly planning all along to keep lockdown going, the covid PM’s promise notwithstanding: that was just for us gullible plebs.

And why do “we” need to be kept in perpetual lockdown? To ‘save lives’, of course, because more people must be vaccinated – in fact, all must be vaccinated so that “we” can return to our ‘normal’ lives. It’s again just about ‘rising cases’, this time in the as yet unvaccinated ‘youth’:

“Figures published yesterday show that the virus is spreading much faster in the unvaccinated younger groups, with infection rates in people in their twenties 18 times higher than those in their eighties. People aged 20-29 have rates of 121 per 100,000, four times higher than three weeks ago, according to Public Health England, while the increase is much slower in older age groups who have been vaccinated.” (link, paywalled)

Why should this worry the covid government when so many of the over 50s have had one jab and all the ‘vulnerable’ have had two jabs? Isn’t this huge group of people therefore ‘safe’? Not when the actual reason is keeping control over all of us! It’s not about our safety. The utterance of that communist professor on SAGE, that mask-wearing should be made compulsory forever, regardless, says it all. But there’s a snag:

“The end of lockdown curbs may be delayed by as much as four weeks even though ministers are set to win their race to double-jab millions in time for ‘Freedom Day’. Figures released yesterday showed the Government is on course to hit its target to have offered a second coronavirus vaccine dose to all over-50s by June 21. Just hours later, however, it emerged that supplies of the Pfizer vaccine will reduce throughout June. […] The Pfizer setback comes as a particular blow, as it makes the prospect of speeding up the vaccine roll-out to meet demand much more difficult.” (link)

Ah! And the next ‘lockdown extension’ will happen because all school children need to be vaccinated before school starts in autumn, I’m sure. Then SAGE will surely find another ‘variant of concern’ to keep lockdown going until next year. And so on and so forth. 

However, there’s a very strange thing going on. Will Jones reports in the latest article in Lockdown Sceptics that we’re observing again the ‘hour of the modelers’, Ferguson at the forefront. Why this particular modeller is still being given credence after all his many well documented modelling blunders is anybody’s guess. Will Jones quotes Reuters:

“Ferguson said that modelling suggested any third wave of infections could rival Britain’s second wave in the winter […] “It’s well within possibility that we could see another third wave at least comparable in terms of hospitalisations,” he said. “I think deaths probably would be lower, the vaccines are having a highly protective effect… still it could be quite worrying. But there is a lot of uncertainty.” (link)

Interesting: it ‘could be worrying’ even though it’s all still uncertain! Are these ‘uncertain’ calculations the ‘reason’ for ‘ministers’ pondering their ‘extension’ to the promised end of lockdown? If so – is there no intrepid MSM ‘investigative’ reporter asking why this should worry us when so many have been vaccinated? Do the vaccines not work? Will Jones then asks a question to which I’d also like an answer:

“But in terms of the Delta variant being hyper-infectious, what I want to know is why it only seems to be highly infectious in the U.K. Everywhere else (except India, of course) it’s hardly making any impact, despite having been around as long as it has in the U.K.” (link)

Yes – why is this the case? Is the health of the nation so bad that “we” are all in danger of dropping like Indian flies, jabbed or not? It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that we have such huge, wonderful Test & Trace set-up! It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that we have such wonderful, infallible modellers! It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that our Sacred Cow needs to be ‘saved’ again because so many non-covid patients are now coming in for treatment and our hospitals couldn’t possibly cope with treating covid patients as well!

Here’s another strange thing: last year we heard moans from the young’uns about how unfair it was that they were being locked down to save the lives of the old. Now that the old have been vaccinated, we hear no moans about how unfair it is to keep the old and middle-aged, all vaccinated, locked down to save the lives of the young … Perhaps we’ve all learned that this isn’t about saving lives but about government keeping control, strict control, of all of our lives, vaccinated or not, irrespective of age.

I must mention the ‘grilling of Matt-the-Han’ by the HoC select committees yesterday. No, I didn’t watch – life is too short. A summary of what he said is here and a rather good commentary is here. It’s well worth savouring.

Finally, let me offer my explanation for the threatened ‘extension’ of our covid prison sentence: on June 23rd, two days after the promised ‘Freedom Day’, Leavers will celebrate our victory in the EU Referendum. Of course, the covert and overt Remainers in government and the MSM can’t possibly permit such celebrations to take place, nowhere, and especially not in public!

The lockdowns have singularised us, atomised us, prevented us from meeting friends and acquaintances for well over a year now. Why would the covid emperors, the overt and covert Remainers, let us out now, allowing us to celebrate the anniversary of our victory? Because it might give us ideas, that’s why!

 

KBO!
