    "Professor Jim Naismith, Director of the Rosalind Franklin Institute and Professor of Structural Biology at the University of Oxford, has pointed out that, despite England dropping its mask mandate in July while Scotland kept its one in force, there is no evidence of this policy making any difference in the two countries’ infection rates. He writes:

    The ONS survey results on prevalence shows that the Scottish and English approach to masking, although formally different since July, has made no meaningful difference to Delta. In both countries very high levels of prevalence have continued for months. Thus the new changes announced are unlikely to have much of an impact if Omicron does indeed spread rapidly."


    Of course they know this perfectly well, this new virus will spread and muzzles in shops will not, cannot, stop it, but we're back in Yes Minister territory, 'Something must be done, we have to do something, face masks in shops is something, so we'll do that'.

    The teachers are insisting on muzzling schoolchildren again, there was the Teacher's Annual Awards dinner last night, hundreds of teachers in attendance, not a mask in sight.

    I can go into the pub mask less, but if I nip into the shop next door I have to put a mask on.

    It's Silly Season again.

    To be fair to Boris BT, (not easy I know) I still think he's on our side, but the mask morons and lockdown loons in the media are rampaging again, I reckon masks in shops is the least he could do to quieten them down a little, he's chucked them a tiny bone, he knows it's a waste of time but it might keep them off his back for a while, until it becomes obvious this new variant is not going to devastate all known life on the planet. It's just a sop to shut the foam-flecked feckers up for a while.

    I think you are spot on with this observation mon ami. Why the clamour from Labour to mask up? I really do not get it.

    In todays D M it reads:
    'Head of Moderna warns 'it will be MONTHS' before there is a specific jab to fight Omicron.

    But Y-net ,an Israeli newspaper reads.
    https://www.ynetnews.com/health_scie...icle/rymjatqyt

    Early data show booster effective against Omicron, health minister says

    Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz said on Tuesday that early data show that people who have received the coronavirus vaccine booster shot are well protected against the new Omicron variant.

    This deadly new variant, guess how many it's killed in SA ?

    None.

    Guess how may it's put in hospital ?

    None.

    "The key question is: how severe will illness from Omicron be? The initial information on this front is encouraging. The first South African doctor to report the new variant to the authorities, Dr Angelique Coetzee, has said that what first alerted her was the fact that her patients' ‘symptoms were so different and so mild’. Moreover, South African scientists have said there was no evidence that the variant is causing serious illness, and no hospitalisations have yet been recorded."

    Just saying like.

    WESTERN AUSTRALIA - No jab no job begins today.

    Thousands of (now ex) police, doctors, nurses, miners, teachers and service workers lay down their uniforms before the government, who has stripped them of their human right to work.

    "The Covid stupidity home-testing kit"

    THOSE who oppose, or even worry about, the ‘vaccines’ developed to combat Covid-19 are lumped together in their critics’ minds as ‘anti-vaxxers’. This shows a deplorable lack of discrimination and also calls for some objective means of verification. I am glad to report that there is now a quick and easy self-test for Covid stupidity;

    Take the test:

    Simply respond Yes or No to each of the following statements and then score yourself according to the guidance given below.

    1. The ‘vaccines’ are 100 per cent safe. Nobody has been injured or killed as a result of one or more jabs. Any rumours to the contrary have probably been spread by the Russians.

    2. The ‘vaccines’ are suitable for everyone, in every condition – young or old, pregnant or not, sick or well, fighting fit or immunocompromised for example by cancer drugs.

    3. The ‘vaccines’ are 100 per cent effective. Nobody who has been jabbed has been hospitalised or died as a result of catching Covid after immunisation.

    4. The ‘vaccines’ not only protect you from catching Covid, they prevent you from passing it on to anyone else.

    5. Unlike antibiotics, the indiscriminate and widespread use of the ‘vaccines’ will not, by eliminating competition, foster the development of new, medication-resistant strains of the disease.

    6. The ‘vaccines’ will have no effect on genital organs or the pre- and post-birth development of unborn children.

    7. The ‘vaccines’ will not reduce the effectiveness of your immune system against Covid or any other infection, either temporarily or permanently.

    8. The most rigorous longitudinal investigation into Covid will never show any positive correlation between immunisation and elevated likelihood of later serious illnesses or sudden deaths.

    Scoring:

    ‘Yes’ to all: you are a sensible citizen. The world has always needed trusting people like you, often as infantry.

    ‘No’ to one or more, but not all, questions: you are a Common Moron. We can tell when your kind has learned to use a knife and fork from the scratch marks on your face.

    ‘No’ to all questions: you are that rare and beautiful thing, the Perfect Moron. Every government department and company board needs one of you, so they can consult you on all matters, listen attentively and do the exact opposite of what you recommend.

    Test packs will be available to the general public as soon as supply line issues have been resolved
