Speaking To The Nation, Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson addressed the country, telling us all that the COVID Alert Level had been raised.

The Prime Minister gave his COVID update at 8 pm from Downing Street, which focused on ramping up the booster rollout to fight the new Omicron variant.

The UK COVID Alert Level has been raised from Level 3 to Level 4 in light of the rapid increase in Omicron cases, and it’s been said that the transmission of COVID 19 is already high in the community, mainly still driven by Delta, but the emergence of Omicron adds further and rapidly growing danger to the public and healthcare services, and that early evidence indicates that Omicron is circulating much quicker than Delta and that vaccine protection against symptomatic disease from Omicron is reduced.

It was said that information on severity would become more apparent over the coming weeks but hospitalisations from Omicron were already happening and those were likely to grow rapidly.

Boris Johnson discussed the significant expansion of the booster programme as fears mount over the spread of Omicron, and he informed everyone about the changes to COVID restrictions but didn’t say that Christmas had to be cancelled, at this point.

The UK’s top medics decided to ramp up the COVID alert level as a further 1,239 confirmed Omicron cases were recorded in the United Kingdom as of today.

Total cases of the new strain have rocketed by 65 per cent since Saturday, rising from 1,893 to 3,137.

Earlier, Dr Susan Hopkins, the chief medical adviser for the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), cautioned that a large third wave of infections was unavoidable and further restrictions may be required.

She said people will have to reduce social contacts, and encouraged everyone to take lateral flow tests before going out to meet anyone.

Dr Susan Hopkins told the BBC that it was inevitable that we were going to see a large surge of infections, and that what they were not clear on, and which was essentially making sure people go out and get their vaccination for, is how much that will impact hospitals.

Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi told the UK was now locked in a race between the jabs programme and the spreading new variant, and that new modelling indicates that, under one scenario, almost twice the number of COVID patients could be admitted to the hospital compared with last year due to the impact of Omicron.

It’s also been said by a number of citizens that people need to learn and stop being sheep to our Government, and that the vaccines haven’t worked and nor will the boosters and that it’s a sack of nonsense, and that the only thing the vaccines will do is damage our immune systems, and that people are listening to someone who can’t even string a sentence together.

It’s also been said that Boris Johnson couldn’t even organise a p*ss up in a brewery, oh wait, he’s already done that at No 10, and I’m sure that when he did his address, people were hoping that it would be his resignation speech – now that would be an early Christmas present!

Ambulance Service Apologises To Family Of Great Grandfather

West Midlands Ambulance Service has apologised to the family of a 91-year-old great grandfather who died after waiting 10 hours for paramedics to arrive when he broke his hip following a fall.

Don Mansell, from Shrewsbury, lost his balance and fell onto the concrete floor in the kitchen of his home on November 28.

A newspaper outlet reported that his daughter Sue Beesty, who’d been visiting her father at the time, called an ambulance just after 2.30 pm, but it wasn’t until the early hours of the morning the next day that paramedics arrived.

Sue Beesty said that during the 10-hour wait, her father was in so much agony and he kept saying it must be my turn for the ambulance.

Once paramedics arrived, Mr Mansell, a great grandfather of five and an ex carpenter, was taken to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital where his condition worsened and he passed away days later on December 3.

Mrs Beesty is now calling for the Government to stop ambulance delays in the country and blames a lack of funding for the emergency services for the wait.

She told the newspaper that her husband and herself had just arrived to see him on Sunday afternoon and that he was standing facing the countertop and he turned 90 degrees and lost his balance, landing on the concrete floor.

She said that she rang for an ambulance just after 2.30 pm but it was the early hours of the morning the next day before the ambulance arrived, but all that time that he was lying there in agonising pain and he was in so much pain, he kept saying about the ambulance and that it must be his turn.

She said that it was awful because she couldn’t do anything, but they were advised not to move him or to allow him to drink because he might have to have an operation.

She said that when he got to the hospital he was listed for an operation but then they said his heart was too weak.

Mr Mansell later died on December 3 after his health declined in hospital.

More than 10,000 people waited 12 plus hours to be seen in A&E last month, damning official figures revealed last week as the health services buckled under the pressure of pandemic backlogs.

Health bosses claim that the NHS is fighting multiple problems at once, with staff deficiencies, winter pressures, pandemic backlogs and COVID all adding to the pressure on the health system.

This poor man was left without anything to drink because his daughter was told not to give him any fluid. This was a 91-year-old man and by the time he got to the hospital, he was probably dehydrated and because she was instructed not to give him any liquids, after 10 hours his kidneys wouldn’t have been able to function properly, especially at his age.

Even after 8 hours with no fluids, you would become dehydrated, and not only that because he couldn’t get up to go to the toilet, well you can imagine what must have happened – that’s if he could even go to the toilet because he would have been so dehydrated, and there’s only one word for this – disgraceful.

We all pay into a system for this kind of thing. I understand that there’s a crisis, but our Government should have been prepared for this. That’s why it’s called a contingency plan for when something goes wrong, and if there was no contingency plan, then where the hell is our money going to and on what because it’s definitely not the NHS service, that’s for sure!

A Police Investigation Has Been Launched Into The Death Of A Nine-Month-Old Boy

A police investigation is underway after a nine-month-old boy choked to death on food at a day nursery in September.

Oliver Steeper was being cared for at Jelly Beans Day Nursery in Ashford, Kent when he became unable to breathe while eating.

The toddler was taken to hospital, where he passed away six days later. The nursery was closed down weeks after the incident.

A funeral for the young boy was held at Charing Crematorium.

Now Kent Police have confirmed officers are investigating the events that led to the child’s demise.

A representative said that Kent Police are investigating the circumstances following a death at a childcare facility in Ashford.

As well as the police inquiry, the Kent Safeguarding Children Multi-agency Partnership (KSCMP) is also carrying out a review of the case to see if improvements to care for children can be made.

Oliver’s father, Lewis Steeper, said that the funeral was simply beautiful and was the perfect tribute to Oliver’s life and that they have great memories, photos and videos they will cherish forever, and that Oliver’s presence remained strong in their house, with some lovely photos now up on the wall.

He said they will never stop loving him and that they’re thinking about him and that they have a huge hole in their hearts that will never be filled with the joy their son brought to their small family.

Well-wishers have donated more than £12,000 in the memory of the young toddler.

The daycare centre was initially closed down temporarily after education and childcare watchdog Ofsted suspended its roster over serious safeguarding concerns relating to the fatal incident.

Matt Dunkley, chairman of the KSCMP, said that the loss of a child is a terrible tragedy and that their thoughts were with Oliver’s family, friends and all those who knew him, but that the KSCMP was committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people and that they would be undertaking a Local Child Safeguarding Practice Review in regard to the case.

He said the purpose of the review was to identify improvements that could be made to practice and disseminate the learning so that they can achieve better outcomes for Kent’s children and young people, and that the element of the case relates to safe eating in a non-familial setting.

He said that the KSCMP is therefore designing a comprehensive Safer Eating campaign to assist professionals in a mixture of settings to ensure they’re working to best practice standards when feeding babies and young children.

This is a horrible tragedy, but then the Government have made it extremely hard for mothers to remain at home with their children, which means they have to go out to work, and then tragedies like this happen.

It might be said that mums that remain at home are knee-deep in nappies and temper tantrums, but being at home with your child during the early stages is much better for your children than them being in child care full time.

And being at home allows you to plan and organise activities and prepare a daily routine for both the child and yourself. You can give them their food on time and take care of their basic needs, instead of child care doing it for you.

Children flourish when they have a safe and positive relationship with people, particularly their parents, and a mother plays numerous roles in a child’s growth and she is the teacher in every aspect of the child’s developmental growth, social-emotional, physical, cognitive and independence.

However, there are a bunch of disadvantages of being a stay at home mum, and one of those is less money because most households these days need both parents to work because the Government make it extremely difficult for women to stay at home with their children.

The problem is those mother’s that do have to go out to work, spend less quality time with their children. They’re overloaded with work and have to multitask which bring negative feelings into the household. No proper disciplining of the children. There are often behavioural problems, relationship problems, which means we then have extremely clingy children.

A mother plays a vital role in the family, which is a powerful force for social cohesion and integration, and a child-mother relationship is essential for the healthy development of children, but sadly mother’s are not only caregivers now they’re breadwinners as well.

The other thing is quality childcare is not always affordable, so it can work out more costly to go to work than remaining at home with children, and if women do go out to work, they not only have to work, but they also have to do the chores and housework, that doesn’t evaporate for working women, it’s all still there when they get home.

Most working mum’s hate leaving their little ones in someone else’s care to go to work, some have even cried their eyes out for days because babies are vulnerable and can’t speak for themselves, and many mothers would rather give their children their undivided attention.

And staying at home means that you have your family, freedom and free time, which means you can take care of your family. After all, in your home, you’re the boss.

I’m not saying that mothers shouldn’t go to work, I’m just saying it’s a matter of preference, but for those mothers that do work, sometimes the pay is extremely poor. Someone you don’t know is looking after your children and you really have no idea if they’re going to come to any harm, which this little toddler did.

Hospitals in The United Kingdom Are Reporting Omicron Cases, According To Nadhim Zahawi

Nadhim Zahawi revealed there are now patients with Omicron being treated in UK hospitals, and he said the new coronavirus variant means a massive bump in the road for the nation’s recovery from the pandemic.

The Education Secretary painted a gloomy picture of the spread of the mutant strain as he said it now accounts for one-third of all cases in London.

He also confirmed that cases of the variant are doubling every two to three days with more than 1,600 formally confirmed so far.

However, Mr Zahawi warned that the true number of cases of Omicron will be up to ten times that as he said the vaccine booster programme is now in a race against time against the variant.

Dr Susan Hopkins, the chief medical adviser for the UK Health Security Agency, said that while there are now cases in UK hospitals there is yet to be a confirmed Omicron related death.

It came after it emerged that Michael Gove was leading the push for tougher Plan C COVID 19 restrictions, including pub passports after pandemic modelling revealed the Omicron variant could cause more hospitalisation than last winter.

However, Boris Johnson and Downing Street are said to be resisting Michael Gove’s calls for a new crackdown, as the Prime Minister faces a rebellion from his own Conservative party in a vote over the introduction of Plan B rules.

Senior Cabinet ministers are said to be preparing to revolt against the Plan B measures in a vote next week, and 65 Tory MPs have already demonstrated they will vote against.

A Commons vote is set to be held on Tuesday over the Plan B measures, which require face masks to be worn in non-hospitality venues and ask people to work from home where possible. NHS COVID passes will also be required in some venues, like nightclubs, from Wednesday.

Michael Gove, who has been one of the most consistently pro-restriction Cabinet ministers since the beginning of the pandemic, said the very challenging new information meant that action was clearly needed and that as new data came in they would consider what steps to take in the face of that data.

The minister’s call to potentially cancel Christmas for a second year running comes as scientists advising the Government have said tougher COVID restrictions may be required to stop Omicron causing anywhere between 25,000 to 75,000 deaths in England over the next five months.

If someone said it was raining outside, does that mean that we’re all going to look outside to check? So far that we know of, Omicron has killed no one, although there are people in hospital from it being treated for it, but so far no one has died from it, which means that you can’t trust the way that the data is being manipulated, as they do so often, and this just demonstrates that our Government have and will continue to do so.

It’s all to do with fearmongering and although Omicron is COVID it doesn’t appear to be as bad as the former variants, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t still be vigilant. Wear a mask if you want to, or don’t but logic dictates that we should still be cautious just in case, and the fact that Nadhim Zahawi is the Education Minister and not the Health Secretary, why should anyone believe what he says?

And what tests are they using outside of the hospitals to isolate and identify Omicron?

Sixty-Five Vaccine Passport Rebels Accuse The Government Of Jumping The Gun

Boris Johnson could encounter the biggest revolt of his premiership so far, with 60 Tory MPs said to be planning to vote against the imposition of additional coronavirus criteria.

The Prime Minister revealed he would be starting his winter Plan B protocols in a bid to buy the United Kingdom time in the fight against the Omicron variant of the virus.

The Tories have responded with disappointment to the proposals, with tens of backbenchers promising to vote down plans for vaccine passports to be made mandatory for large venues.

The introduction of COVID passes will mean those who haven’t been completely vaccinated will not be able to enter indoor venues with more than 500 people, unseated outdoor venues with more than 4,000 people and any venue with more than 10,000 people from Wednesday.

The Plan B measures also include compulsory mask-wearing in most public indoor settings, as well as guidance for workers to operate from home where they can in order to prevent transmission.

Former Cabinet ministers David Davis, Esther McVey, Dr Liam Fox and Greg Clark are among those to have expressed concerns about the scaling up of restrictions.

Greg Clark, a former business secretary, said the Government had jumped the gun in deciding to act before more was known about the effect Omicron could have on hospital admissions.

Former trade secretary Dr Liam Fox, speaking in a debate in the Commons, said it was hard to justify those additional measures.

Senior Conservatives, including select committee chairman Tobias Ellwood and William Wragg, have spoken in opposition to the measures while 2019 intake MPs such as Dehenna Davison and Lee Anderson, who represent so-called former Labour red wall constituencies, have announced they would revolt on Tuesday’s vote in the House of Commons.

Former defence minister Mr Ellwood, who chairs the Defence Committee, told Sky News on Saturday: ‘I’d strongly urge the Government to drop the vote on vaccination passports next week.

He said it’s not the appropriate tactic to impose on a very exhausted country at this time.

According to a newspaper outlet, former Brexit minister Steve Baker told MPs in the COVID Recovery Group (CRG), a group of anti lockdown Tories, WhatsApp chat that ministerial resignations were likely during the restrictions row.

Steve Baker, a well-known figure in the COVID Recovery Group of Conservatives, said that he wasn’t expecting to be lonely when he votes against Plan B but that they do need MPs to vote against, not abstain.

However, most rebels will take the coward’s way out and abstain. If they don’t have the guts to stand up for their beliefs, then they should get out of politics.

The entire thing is a theatre. These people don’t represent us because it’s a global script from higher up, and there are no morals, logic, and civil rights means nothing anymore.

And it’s not just about standing up for their beliefs, it’s about standing up for the wishes of their constituents, but unfortunately, this Government and the MPs no longer represent their constituents and we’re being denied our rights to freedom and choice.

All they want is harder, longer lockdowns and restrictions. There’s no opposition anymore because it’s all bought and paid for.

Boris Johnson has already lost the next election and he knows it. He will go down with the sinking ship instead of giving out the orders to lower the lifeboats, and just in case nobody has noticed there have been quite a few lawbreakers in Government, and we have MPs partying at the height of the pandemic while common folk say goodbye to their elderly relatives behind a panel of glass.

Then there are those MPs who have been having affairs while everyone else had to keep two metres apart and weren’t allowed household mixing. People driving from London to Scotland to visit family. Worst of all, we all had to endure the sight of Michael Gove dancing in a nightclub, and when politicians are no longers being held to account to the same standards of common folk, then we’re already being ruled by criminals.

In England, Two-Thirds Of Councils Are Considering Tax Increases For 2022

Two-thirds of councils in England are considering tax hikes next year, in another blow to family finances.

Millions of people across the country are now having to brace themselves for a double whammy of skyrocketing bills and an upsurge in National Insurance Payments.

According to some estimations, this is on top of rising inflation, which is already costing families more than £1,000 a year.

The BBC reports it wrote to 152 councils responsible for social care in England and 121 answered, with two in three saying they’re considering raising tax from next April. National insurance also increases in the same month.

The councils are waiting to make definitive decisions on any increases until the Government delivers more detail on funding, which is expected next week.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) previously worked out a 2.8 per cent rise in council tax would cost families an additional £40 a year.

The Prime Minister announced earlier this year he was hiking National Insurance contributions by 1.25 per cent, leaving basic rate taxpayers about £180 a year worse off.

According to calculations by the Labour Party, on top of that, rocketing inflation means the average British family are now more than £1,000 a year worse off due to soaring inflation.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the rate of Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation increased sharply from 3.1 per cent in September to 4.2 per cent in October, which is the most elevated level since December 2011.

With households spending an average of £508.50 a week on all areas in the financial year ending 2020 according to the ONS, Labour said this new CPI rate had seen the price go up by £21 a week, £93 a month or £1,111 a year.

This £93 a month hike, combined with £15 for National Insurance and £8.33 on average for council tax, means monthly bills for millions of households are set to rise by more than £110.

The bigger than anticipated rise in the cost of living comes amid surging gas and electricity prices, with regulator Ofgem recently increasing the energy price cap by 12 per cent.

But the figures also show sharp fuel cost rises and inflation building across food, household goods and hospitality as supply chain upheaval takes its toll.

The IFS said in October that under existing Government spending plans, a rise of at least 3.6 per cent on council tax bills will be required per year just for town halls to keep services operating at the levels seen before the coronavirus pandemic.

It seems that the friends of Boris Johnson and his cabinet have never had it so good. Meanwhile pensioners, and the disabled struggle to feed themselves. England is considered to be a nation that’s judged on how well it takes care of its elderly and vulnerable, but actually, it fails on every level possible.

People who voted for Brexit were forewarned this kind of thing would happen, but clearly, they didn’t believe it.

Boris Johnson really does need to go, but then I dread the thought of Rishi Sunak taking over because that would be disastrous for the working middle classes and the poor getting even poorer.

For as long as I can remember, councils have raised their taxes every year and after increasing them, they then reduce the services they provide, but if you’ve come over on a boat, you get a nice hotel to stay in and then eventually a nice four-bedroom house, nice benefits and a car. Very nice indeed thanks to Priti Patel.

Students Are Forced To Eat Their Lunch Outside In Freezing Temperatures At School

Fuming parents have branded a school disgusting after discovering their children are being asked to eat their lunch outdoors in the freezing cold in a bid to stop the spread of coronavirus.

Bulwell Academy in Nottingham said the measure is part of its anti-COVID strategy and is designed to create more distance between pupils and therefore reduce the chance of virus transmission.

But parents argue there aren’t enough seats for all the students and that the benches are dripping wet, insisting classrooms or other indoor spaces be used instead.

Hitting back at the complaints, the academy said most pupils in Years 7 and 8 preferred to be outdoors anyhow, and that a school hall was open to the latter year group if they wanted to dine indoors.

It comes after the Academy, once described as an army camp, formerly came under fire for asking pupils to produce a doctor’s note if they wanted to go to the toilet during lesson time.

One parent, who asked not to be named, said it’s freezing cold and they’re stood outside eating their lunch, and that it was truly appalling, and there were not enough seats for them either.

She said that she’d tried talking to the school, and that they should have at least have a classroom to sit in and eat, and that she was so frustrated.

Another parent, who also didn’t want to be named, said the school needed to do more.

She said that she was not pleased at all and that her daughter came in soaked through, and she said that they need to do something as they’re all standing outside.

She said there were benches but that they were soaked through and that she felt sorry for the children and that if they’re outside all through their lunchtime they’re not getting any warmth, and that the school needed to do something like different time slots for each year to eat and make sure they’ve got a place to dine.

A Bulwell Academy representative said that efforts to decrease the chance of coronavirus spreading include using outdoor space during breaks and lunchtime, rather than having hundreds of students in a confined space, and that the vast majority of Years 7 and 8 choose to be outside, with staff on duty checking their welfare.

The spokesperson said that they’ve opened the hall for Year 8s for those preferring to be inside and that parents were urged to contact the Academy if there were any problems.

Seems like these teachers just like to bully their students. I bet they wouldn’t sit outdoors in the freezing cold – bet they’re having a right chuckle to themselves while they sit in the warm.

These children are in a classroom all day with other children. Then they have to eat their lunch outdoors. What kind of drugs are these teachers taking?

When are people going to learn that they have the ability to prevent this nonsense? It has to end, but of course, it won’t stop because some people get off on it.

Yes, they might not get COVID from being outdoors, but they might get pneumonia.

And this school asking for a doctor’s note if they want to go to the bathroom is quite brutal because girls of menstrual age shouldn’t be told to produce a doctor’s note in order to use the toilets.

It’s common sense, for anyone with the rudimentary understanding of how menstruation impacts girls, that they can’t always anticipate when they will require the bathroom. It’s not a medical issue, it’s a fact of life.

Downing Street Christmas Party Called Heartbreaking And Depressing By Kate Garraway

Kate Garraway has described the Downing Street Christmas party as heartbreaking and depressing after her husband Derek Draper spent a year in the hospital fighting COVID.

The TV host, 54, told Good Morning Britain that she struggled to try and make things work and follow lockdown rules during the time the party allegedly took place.

In her documentary Finding Derek, released earlier this year, she also talked about the struggles her family encountered as her husband spent a year in the hospital gravely ill after contracting coronavirus.

Commenting on reports of the Downing Street party, she said that she just didn’t want to throw stones, but that the obvious thing to say was that it was heartbreaking and ridiculous and she couldn’t believe it because she didn’t think they were a bunch of bad people, but that there was something extremely uncomfortable about it, and perhaps they just didn’t know the devastation, because the rules were affecting everyone.

Co-presenter Susanna Reid said that she didn’t think anyone was describing malign intent here, but she said that Adam Wagner, who’s a barrister and they regularly speak to Adam on the programme, has been, as it was implied, crunching the legal’s over this.

She continued, quoting from a document: ‘During that period, there were only two legal ways to have an indoor gathering of more than 30 people, and she said there were permitted, organised gatherings, but that would mean guests weren’t allowed to mix with anyone that wasn’t in their household, and that didn’t seem to apply.

And she said that the only other legal route was if the gathering was reasonably essential for work, but that it seemed extremely unlikely that any type of party held for more than 30 people indoors where COVID was more likely to spread would be reasonably necessary for work.

Kate Garraway added that she just remembers the scrutiny that they went through to try and make things work, even simple things like who was going to look after her children or was she allowed to have other people in to look after them? And it was just all so depressing.

How is it people in Downing Street don’t appear to be able to obey the rules, but they expect the general public to do so?

Boris Johnson has agreed to an internal investigation into the allegations of a COVID rule-breaking Christmas Party in Downing Street in the face of ascending anger.

Kate Garraway’s husband is one of the illest surviving patients of COVID, and she’s more than entitled to an opinion of it because her husband wouldn’t have been allowed to see his wife or children last Christmas due to the government’s rules, while the same government are hosting parties, so I can see why she would be livid, along with everyone else.

Although I doubt very much that it was just Downing Street that was the only place where parties were held, or do we believe that the rest of the world just remained at home? The difference is, that the remainder of the people in the world weren’t dictating the rules that we were expected to follow.

The thing is, lots of people missed last Christmas with their loved ones and their loved ones that were in the hospital with COVID. Kate Garraway isn’t the only person that has a sick loved one in the hospital, whether with COVID or something else.

But what’s even more disturbing is Kate Garraway’s blatant use of her husband’s illness for her own self-promotion.

Former Aides Say Kamala Harris Won’t Wear Bluetooth Headphones

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly insisted on using wired earphones because she fears that Bluetooth pods represent a security risk.

At a time when many users have moved on to the near-invisible buds and pods, Kamala Harris is often seen conducting remote television interviews with a telltale cable dangling from her head.

And in a viral video clip showing the moment she spoke by phone to Joe Biden after they secured their 2020 election win, she has a tangle of white wires in her left hand.

Now former aides have explained that the reason is not some kind of retro-chic, but concerns that someone could intercept her communications.

They told Politico that the vice president has long been cautious about security and technology.

Some said it was a prudent measure for someone handling classified data while others told the outlet it verged on the paranoid.

As well as using wired headphones to avoid Bluetooth, she also apparently prefers texting to email and doesn’t allow her guests to wait in her office alone.

And a former aide said staff were told to have her visitors wait for her outside her office during her time as attorney general in California.

A request for comment on why the vice president chooses wired earphones went unanswered, but Kamala Harris isn’t alone in the retro look.

Celebrities including Bella Hadid, Lily-Rose Depp and Zoe Kravitz have been spotted with corded earphones.

Fashion writers say the ubiquity of buds has led some trendsetters to look for something more distinctive.

When Liana Satenstein, a fashion writer at Vogue.com, saw Hadid with a wired headset in 2019 she described it as strangely luxurious.

Cybersecurity professionals say there might be something in the vice president’s approach.

Although security has improved since Bluetooth was developed in the 1990s it still adds an additional possible point of attack, and cybersecurity researcher and writer Kim Crawley told a newspaper outlet that if Kamala Harris is using wired earbuds, then the communications going between her phone and her ears can’t be intercepted there.

She said that she would presume that Kamala Harris is privy to a lot of top-secret and classified information and that top secret and classified information could be going through her phone, so no she didn’t believe she was being excessively paranoid.

Other presidents have chafed at security restrictions on their phone use.

President Barack Obama said in a 2013 White House event that he wasn’t permitted, for security reasons to have an iPhone.

Perhaps Kamala Harris is scared she’ll get caught saying something smart, but it definitely won’t be her usual cackle that nobody wants to hear, but Bluetooth isn’t a secure wireless protocol, and if you’re listening to anything more than just music or podcast, it’s most definitely a security risk.

But it also begs the question. What is she trying to hide? Mind you, you’ve actually got to feel sorry for the person who’s listening in on her conversations.

Does Kamala Harris not realise that her phone could be cloned so that whatever she’s saying can be listened to, or is she amazingly foolish?

Perhaps she even believes that when someone takes a photo of her they’re stealing her soul.

Personal cell phones shouldn’t be used for classified calls, or emails. Classified should mean classified and should be kept or discussed in a room built and certified for that level, or on an electronic system that’s fully separate from commercial systems, which should be encrypted, tested and certified for that level of information.

New COVID Drug Can Treat All Mutations Of Omicron

According to new data, a COVID antibody treatment has been shown to work against all mutations of the Omicron variant – well, I must say that was fast, what magic sack did they pull this one out of?

Apparently, laboratory studies have demonstrated that the drug called Sotrovimab and developed by British pharma GlaxoSmithKline with US firm Vir Biotechnology, is effective against the 37 now known mutations of the new strain.

Data last week had revealed Sotrovimab was able to fight several key mutations of Omicron, but the new data indicates the treatment will work against the variant in all its forms.

And the drug was approved by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency last week after trials showed it cut the chance of hospitalisation and deaths in patients with mild to moderate COVID symptoms by 79 per cent.

Sotrovimab, sold under the brand name Xevudy, is used to prevent people from developing extreme COVID cases and is useful for people with suppressed immune systems, and it gives the body COVID antibodies to combat the illness while antivirals meddle with how the virus replicates.

The UK Government has already ordered about 100,000 doses.

The MHRA approval means it’s now endorsed two antibody treatments, Ronapreve and Xevudy, and one antiviral, Legevrio, also known as Molnupiravir.

The new data is likely to be welcomed with relief by numerous public health professionals amid continued uncertainty around whether current COVID 19 vaccines and treatments can fight back effectively against Omicron.

There was also a second dose of good news, with plant-based COVID 19 vaccine, developed by GSK alongside Canadian biotech Medicago, shown to be 71 per cent effective against several variants of COVID 19 and 75pc effective against the highly infectious Delta strain.

The trial also revealed that there were no severe adverse reactions to the vaccine in the 24,000 people involved in the study.

As a result of the data, GSK and Medicago are planning to imminently request approval for the jab from Canadian regulators.

If given the green light, it will become the world’s first plant-based COVID vaccine authorised for human use.

Plant-based medicines can be produced quickly and in considerable amounts, making them useful for mass public health campaigns and vaccination drives.

The GSK-Medicago vaccine can also be stored at refrigerator temperature, making it more manageable to transport than some current vaccines such as the one developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, which needs to be stored at -70 degrees centigrade.

This new drug has no long term data to support it, and it has no long term data of what will happen if you combine different drugs together, or how our bodies will respond or be affected by this. However, anything that you put into your body is a risk. Leaving your home is a risk. Driving a car is a risk. What we should be doing is letting people decide if they want the jab or not, it’s not our lives, it’s theirs.

But how to become a millionaire in four easy steps. Invent a story that a virus is going to wipe everyone out. Manufacture an alleged treatment. Get your buddies in Government to insist we all have to have it. Make the public-funded NHS buy it – job done.

Problem, reaction, solution. Works a dream every time.

The US is run by tech giants, the United Kingdom is run by big pharma firms, and China has all the components which are creating a new industry. An experimental vaccine with no comeback by the big pharma drug companies who were exempt from prosecution from damaging side effects or death.
