Care home threats dropped* Javid laughs during child safety question* no masks mid-air, masks on descent* natural immunity test to enter Spain

AFTER months of coercion, harassment and threats, the UK Government have lifted regulations requiring care home works to have a Covid jab.
Showing a staggering lack of self-awareness and humility after causing distress to so many, forcing countless people out of their jobs and potentially countless others into a jab they did not need, the UK Government said it was right to revisit the balance of risks now things had changed.
They said in a statement: “With the population better protected and lower levels of hospitalisations and mortality, it was right to revisit the balance of risks and benefits that had guided the government’s original decisions.”
There was no mention of anyone who was no longer working in care due to these regulations being offered their jobs back.
In the UK, at least 2000 people have died post Covid jab, with more than 1.4million injuries.
THIS was the reaction of Health Secretary Sajid Javid when Tory MP for Penistone and Stockbridge Miriam Cates raised the serious issue of Covid-jab-induced myocarditis following the non-urgent offer to 5-11-year-olds – have someone else answer the question and sit there laughing.
Cates said that, given reports of serious side effects and lack of long-term safety data, “how confident is the Government that the jabbing of healthy 5-11s will do more good than harm?”
Not satisfactorily answering the question was Conservative MP for Erewash Maggie Throup, who said: “We carefully considered accepting the advice from the JCVI and that health benefits for five-11 year olds of a single Covid-19 vaccine are greater than the potential health risks. And I’d like to reassure the house that this is a non-urgent offer and a priority is to continue to vaccinate those who are most vulnerable.”
This wishy-washy answer is tantamount to one thing: any issues arising from jabbing healthy children is on the parents.
IN news that some believe is proof we are tip-toeing towards normality Jet2 has become the first major airline to end mandatory mask wearing on its flights. The problem is, wait for it, that passengers must wear them for descent and landing.
Covid-19 is a virus that never ceases to amaze. It truly has evolved. You cannot catch it any more while in mid-air, but the risk increases once you start to land? The requirement to cover your face in cloths that could, according to deputy chief medical officer Jenny Harries, trap the virus and increase the risk of breathing it in, will also remain in foreign airports and on transfers to resorts.
So far from being anywhere near close to normality – the time when you could travel abroad without needing a test to check if you were ill, this is, in fact, nothing of the sort.
A spokesman for Jet 2 said: “It’s no longer a legal requirement to wear a face mask at our airports or onboard our planes. However, as per UK Government guidance, we recommend that you continue to wear a face mask in these spaces and you will need to wear one when you get to your overseas destination.”
SPAIN has changed its travel advice for those who have made the choice not to take a Covid jab – you can enter with a medical certificate showing you have had and recovered from the virus within the past six months.
Holidaymakers can use UK proof of Covid-19 recovery record or a recovery certificate issued by a relevant health authority or medical service. At least 11 days must have passed since your first positive Covid-19 nucleic acid amplification test - NAAT (PCR or similar) or rapid antigen test.
Only problem is, you still need to wear a mask...
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
NOW all attention is on Russia and Ukraine, is the pandemic finally gone, forgotten and over?
