It really isn't, when you consider that the infection factories wrapped up several weeks earlier in Scotland. 

Cases in the UK today only 2,000 more than last Wednesday. Are we seeing a plateau in England now too?

#VacScenes if so.

Signs on the open terrace at Montrose saying that face masks must be worn “for everyone’s safety”. 

It’s more open and less crowded than literally any shopping street anywhere in the country.

There was a sole wee steward last night at Ochilview and she was telling folk as they were walking into the ground to make sure your mask is kept on up until kick off and then you can take it off unless you are walking from on place to another.

On a terrace that was open on three sides.

Most folk were like

Before about 95% of the crowd used a modicum of common sense and completely pied her.

These daft rules will be gone in the next few weeks. 
 

Would like to see the stewards stop all Hibs fans tomorrow (including me) from taking their masks off when seated.

Here is a video by Doctors talking about it:

54 adverse events out of 1.85M doses in B.C. so far
More recently, Lytton, B.C., family physician Dr. Charles Hoffe published another letter to Henry on the website of the anti-vaccine group Vaccine Choice Canada, making numerous unproven and false claims about COVID-19 vaccines.

Hoffe claimed in his letter, dated April 5, that after administering the Moderna shot to community members, he believes "this vaccine is quite clearly more dangerous than COVID-19."

A video from Canadian physicist Dr Charles Hoffe, who wrote to anti-vaccine group Vaccine Choice Canada in April to falsely claim the vaccine was “quite clearly more dangerous than Covid-19” is also available on its webpage.

Joe Ondrak, Logically’s head of investigations, told i: “Anti-vaccine organising is a real concern, we’ve seen tactics evolve over the course of the pandemic to involve slick, convincing branding and wide-scale member distribution offline as well as online, as is the case with Future Z.

Future Z, an anti-COVID-vax campaign group, is run by parents including a cosmetic tattooist and beautician from Leeds, Nichola Hindle-Marsh. Hindle-Marsh registered the campaign group’s website Twitter account; she also has a prominent role in the group’s influential and networked Telegram community and has boasted about sending anti-vaccine material to school with her children to be distributed among other students.

Future Z - Anti-vax for the kids
According to its associated Telegram group, Future Z was originally called the Working Schools Group. However, in late May 2021, it relaunched as Future Z, with a website, Telegram channel, Twitter, and Instagram profile. This relaunch represented a significant shift in focus, shifting the primary target of their campaigning from parents to children.

The website describes the group as:

Filled with like-minded young people, parents and grand-parents, we are passionate about giving a voice to young people who are concerned about their school and education.

Together we shine the light on topics of concern that mainstream media and Governments chose not to show.

This description, found on its homepage, decries “overzealous lockdown measures” and “obedience culture” (a dog whistle for mask-wearing in schools). This section avoids explicitly mentioning vaccines, COVID, or masks, but immediately underneath is a link to materials for their “current campaign,” which prominently features the hashtag #safertowait – boosted by prominent influencers in vaccine skeptic circles. 

Linked as downloadable .pdf and .png files, these flyers show the true thrust of Future Z and how it is directly targeting children and teens:

The flyer aims to repackage vaccine hesitancy for younger people. As well as spreading disinformation directly through the flyer, the QR code sends users to a corresponding web page hosting a video from Dr. Charles Hoffe – a Canadian physician notable for appearing on anti-vax podcasts and websites alongside Robert Kennedy Jr.

Who'd have thought that raking through folks' shit would addle the brain? 

Ach, should've read the thread first. The point stands - she's a fucking moonbat.

Expecting to see vaccine passports quietly shelved now Labour are opposing them, don't think Johnson can rely on the Tory backbenches to back him in big enough numbers to definitely get it through.

I'd hope so but BJ seems hellbent on introducing them. Anyone know when the vote is? 

As someone else said, I fully expect the SG to appease the lovejoys and introduce them up here

Much as I have contempt for the jobby sniffing snake oil pushing fraudster, she did link to this on her twitter feed, which is a bit worrying if they're tying to push it through the backdoor under the cover of Covid.
