More than half of all adults in the U.K. have been fully vaccinated against Covid and three quarters have received at least one dose of a vaccine, amid plummeting, yet still exaggerated Covid death rates. Sky News has the story.
Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi confirmed the achievement, tweeting: “Another Important milestone today. 50% of all adults in the U.K. have had the protection of two doses.
“Thank you to a brilliant team. We keep going.”
On Wednesday, it was announced that three-quarters of adults in the U.K. had received a first jab.
A total of 26,422,303 second doses have now been delivered – equivalent to 50.2% of the adult population – since the vaccination rollout began last December.
Advisers to the Government continue to warn against an easing of restrictions on June 21st, saying also that “vaccine beating variants” will emerge in the future. Sky News continues:
The most significant spike in cases is among people aged between 10 and 29, many of whom are yet to have a jab, according to PHE data.There were 72.3 cases per 100,000 people among this age group in the week up to May 30th – rising week-on-week from 55.1.
The second highest rate is among those aged 20-29 – increasing from 31.6 to 52.0 per 100,000.
Dr Mike Gent, Incident Director for the Covid response at PHE, said: “We are getting some increases in case rates once again, particularly in younger age groups who are not yet being vaccinated and are having regular testing.”
He said this was “to be expected” as the country opens up and people begin to socialise.

I believe nothing that comes from any Politician’s mouth in this country.
One thing i relearnt this past year. Everyone is gov is a liar or reading from a script. Trust not one of them ever. They are all the same.
Especially those vomit-inducing virtue-signalling ones
Is there another sort?
Totally agree, I don’t believe they have as many people jabbed as they claim. If they’re telling the truth, that would be a first. They’ve lied about everything else!
Can I have some Ivermectin instead? It’s safer and more effective.
… and cheaper.
No, it doesn’t cost enough.
But you need to be ill first! Where is the “plague”? I’m not seeing it anywhere. Anyone reading this know anyone who is genuinely sick with Covid-19??
Advisers to the Government continue to warn against an easing of restrictions on June 21st, saying also that “vaccine beating variants” will emerge in the future.
This means that we will never get out of lockdown. I suppose the bit about vaccine beating variants emerging is going to be true as I doubt very much that the current ‘vaccines’ provide any protection against the current set of variants. We now have to hope that when the ‘delay’ to the 21st June is announced that enough people will realise finally that they have been had and we the people start properly pushing back against all of this lockdown nonsense.
One thing the govt has been fairly good at is heating the frogs without them noticing. Go in too hard for too long and I think they realised they would lose people. Easing off a bit as they have will enable them to spin out some restrictions across the summer, and bring back more in the autumn and winter. The priority is to keep the fiction going that covid was/is an emergency. I don’t see that fiction as having been dented much.
I think you have hit the nail on the head Julian – my take on it precisely – I think for that reason alone there will be easing of most restrictions to avoid too much pushback but with the intention of locking down again. The whole thing is cynical beyond belief.
I fear the hope will be confounded.
The people who have lapped up so much of the SAGE vomit and thought it good that they are unlikely to change now.
The awake and rational sussed the nature of the ‘variant’ con ages ago. The puke-swallowers never will.
A question, as I’m curious and although I’m a citizen haven’t lived in the UK for almost 10 years now. Do you think that the government’s “license to operate” (sorry – no pun intended in vax drive context) is being driven in large part by the pretty generous taxpayer funded furlough scheme, which I heard today may be extended yet further? I wonder if public enthusiasm for lockdown and people’s insurmountable fear might mysteriously and suddenly melt away… if they had to get off their arses and work again, or risk losing their incomes entirely?
Skeptical,
I dont think that the ending of furlough would change that much. Most of those on furlough would find work and the rest would be too disunited on their own to cause enough trouble to worry the state.
If we go back to the full lockdown we had after Christmas I don’t think that would be sustainable without furlough
The spending in this country stopped being funded by the taxpayer long ago. A government need only print now (or type a few extra zeros on the computer)
In particular, the government can act as guarantor for a load of dodgy loans, which they have done. The banks reckoned half the government-backed COVID loans to small businesses would end up going bad. Loan guarantees are an under-the-radar way to have a debt jubilee.
yep, no one in the “revolving door sector” gives a damn about the money printing or debts being racked up, no one ever expects it to be repaid. Hyperinflation is coming soon as Michael Burry of sub-prime big short fame noted recently. The only difference with the Weimar Republic will be that we have now moved to digital (not paper) currency, but you still won’t be able to buy anything with the digital currency.
Of course furlough will be extended, same as quantitative easing. At least, until the money runs out. (Oh, alright, Lord Lucan, until the hardship it causes makes it politically untenable, like locking down in Czech Rep.)
“SAGE” advice to the pig dictator? Are they by any chance telling him porkies?
I fear this won’t be the case. The likelihood is with the media’s support, blame will be fully applied to those who refused to get jabbed. It’s already starting and it’s already looking very ugly.
Oh goody, we’ll end up like the Warsaw ghetto!
Whatever the vaccine does it will be equally (in)effective against the variants as the original. The differences are so small as to be clinically meaningless.
The most powerful “variant” around is the psychological ‘worm’ being pumped into every gullible mind out there!
If I wanted to read this kind of information, I would go to the BBBC. It doesn’t need repeating here every day.
British Bullshit Brainwashing Company?
Got it in one
Just the Bullshit B’washing Company – nothing British about them that they wouldn’t happily disown
Agree. Fed up. Disappointed.
Clear off then.
Yet the media are desperate for another lockdown. I think if there is another lockdown in any form all politicians and media workers should go without pay until it is lifted. You can be certain on the basis all restrictions will be lifted in about 30 seconds never to be imposed again.
Belgium’s footballers TURN DOWN the Covid vaccine with half of their Euro 2020 squad refusing to take the Pfizer jab.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-9644261/Euro-2020-Half-Belgiums-squad-turn-Covid-jab-amid-fears-effects-tournament.html
So that Professor Dick Whatever-his-name-is thinks it’s ok to reveal private medical details of some of Belgium’s elite sportsmen? I’d sue his ass.
I believe the German football team has been told not to take it.
Well done lads.
They are making the correct decision, I’m over 75 and would not risk my fitness or health on the vaccine experiment.
Same here and I am just 2 years less than your age group.And I only had to refuse 4 times until they got the message. Mind you, I am for the first time getting hassle over mask exemption and I am reliant on public transport. Fingers crossed for my first attempt at rail travel on Sunday. .
It gets worse.
We have a Nepal variant of the Indian mutation now ….
Grant Shapps confirms ‘Nepal variant’ after WHO denied claims of new strain.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15147646/grant-shapps-nepal-covid-variant-portugal/
I believe that the Accrington and the Leamington spa variants are particularly nasty.
Not to mention the Planet Zog variant.
SAGE and the MSM are determined that we shall have a “third wave” so a third wave we shall have…by hook or by crook. This will inevitably delay June 21st by two weeks which will be extended a further two weeks for every two weeks until the end of summer. Then we’re into autumn and lockdown will be threatened for the whole of September and made official in October. This will last until March 2022. And so begins the cycle again. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum.
Them someone will have a slight dose of influenza and it will be the excuse to clamp down on the morons who obey
You read the same script as me.
I think they might consider releasing us for a bit so they have someone to blame when they bring back the lockdown which will inevitably happen in autumn, shortly after the mass flu vaccination campaign.
Nepalling, a mountainous death toll will surely follow when infections peak.
Covid restrictions are for the plebs only …
Diplomatic immunity, it works against all variants
“More than half of all adults in the UK have been fully vaccinated against Covid…”
But no, they haven’t. Those jabs don’t stop you getting it; and they certainly don’t stop you passing it on. All they might do is reduce your symptoms a bit, so you probably won’t even realise you’re passing it on. You’ve been fully vaccinated and all the dangers that entails against precisely nothing.
….
Even the leaflet you get after the jab makes it clear that the vaccine doesn’t stop you getting the virus …
They want to keep their options open – all measures help (SD, masks, lockdowns, vaccines, T&T) but none are effective on their own so we need varying combinations of all of them, forever. For a politician, it’s a gift that keeps on giving. The reason the opposition don’t rock the boat is that they know they will get a turn sooner or later and the important thing for the political class in general is to be able exercise the maximum amount of power for the least amount of effort and risk, and having a constant state of emergency gives you that.
In fact, the only tangible result from the jibjab (apart from those irrelevant persons who coincidentallidie or get ill) is to make its recipients terrified of the unvaxxed.
How many ‘jabbed’ people would actually understand the difference between SARS CoV2 and covid19? Very few, I would wager. They will read this and think it means the vaccine is likely to stop you actually getting infected with SARS CoV2. The leaflet is referring entirely to covid19 alone i.e. the symptomatic manifestation of infection. As we all know, even the manufacturers state that no research has been done into whether the vaccine stops someone becoming infected. I would cynically take the manufacturers’ statement to mean that they all but know that the ‘vaccines’ don’t have any direct impact on infection or transmission.
I have asked several vaccinated people whether they were aware that the ‘vaccine’ doesn’t prevent them from getting the disease and passing it on. They all claim to understand that. It was only recently that it dawned on me that they are assuming that I am alluding to the 75%/80%/85% (“pick a number, any number”) supposed vaccine efficacy rate. I shall make sure to clarify in future that I mean that it is acknowledged by the manufacturers that there is 100% possibility that it doesn’t stop them becoming infected.
The leaflet that I had in March promoting it did explain the difference between the virus and the potential disease. It also used the term “we do not know yet…” as to it’s efficacy with reducing transmission, or the likelihood of becoming infected (contrary to conventional ‘vaccines’) if one is ill. In fact, all it did promise was that it is intended to reduce the symptoms/risk of death via Covid-19. There was nothing about the negative risks of the product itself.
They’ll never be ‘fully vaccinated’
“probably won’t even realise” – yes, a friend is quite nervous about being around the “vaxxed”. We really should find our own “Sealand”
True, and it doesn’t help that it’s not actually a vaccine.
That headline should be in quotes.
Which is why despite rising overall Covid “cases,” only 0-19 and 30-39 are rising. All other ages crested a week ago. And infections in these age groupings are not high risk to the sainted NHS. This is the type of data that Boris must be looking at is he is going to make decisions. If he isn’t, then we are led by a simpleton.
Not a simpleton. A villain.
Hospitalisations have ticked up slightly. That could reflect cases from a week or so back. A slight rise looks to be on the cards. ZOE has been showing this trend for a while.
I don’t think he cares one iota about data – he uses “data” as an excuse when it suits him.
None of the msm figures tally with PHE or ONS, where do they get them from?
Out of an (un)lucky dip!
Lockdown ‘had no effect’ on coronavirus pandemic in Germany. Scientists at Munich University found German infection rate was already falling before lockdown was imposed
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/06/03/german-study-finds-lockdown-had-little-effect-virus-infections/amp/
As if we didn’t know.
Why does a site pretending to be sceptical allow a phrase ‘fully vaccinated against Covid’?
It doesn’t prevent infection or transmission. In what sense is the word ‘against’ applicable here?
It clearly prevents symptomatic infection – which I suppose will satisfy the vaccine recipients – but, I agree, it’s doesn’t appear to be particularly effective as a vaccine.
Does it prevent? Mitigate possibly. There’s no claim or evidence of prevention.
Proves that All those in charge throughout the world who said that COVID-19 Vaccines would return us to PRE COVID life LIED to everyone! There was little mention of variants before Vaccine rollouts. Once Vaccines started rolling out, this is when media outlets kept going on and on about so called variants. To me things sound like that COVID lockdowns will persist permanently for they will always come up with new variants after each and every time they come up with a booster Vaccine for a variant. Here in USA, over 40percent or more have been vaccinated and we have been returning to a semblance of normalcy, however I do not expect it to last for I am sure come fall and winter, more lockdowns will happen over both so called variants and so called rising numbers of COVID cases in which many of those cases are bound to be the seasonal flu. I will not be surprised if states start locking down again over so called variants until there is a so called Vaccine booster and this cycle of never ending lockdowns go on here in the states as well with required booster Vaccines every year. With this all… Read more »
Just proves when they said Vaccines would return us to PRE COVID life, that they LIED to everyone!
’50% of adults have taken a drug injection at their own risk’, would be a more accurate headline, unfortunately.
Or better still: ‘50% of adults have been manipulated into taking a drug injection at their own risk’.
More Bollocks, blunder and blustering. This has nothing to do with an experimental gene therapy drug. IT’S SEASONAL FLU or whatever you want to call it.
Vaccine beating variants!!! What is the point then of taking the risk with the experimental vaccination then!
One cannot believe a word we are told.
I certainly will not be risking my long term health, its too precious for that scam.
This man should pay for his lies and crimes against the population.
