As expected, Covid booster jabs will be dished out to over-50s as soon as the NHS can get itself motivated to do so. I wonder if the boosters will then need boosters and those boosters will need yet more boosters... it could go on forever!
Just to add to the fun, Whitty and his little band of fools have recommended all children aged 12-15 be offered one dose of the Pfizer jab. I can't think what's possessed them to approve this when the JCVI did not recommend it. Obviously there is no long-term safety data, nor will there be for some few years yet, but somehow Whitty thinks it's ok to dish it out to our children and grandchildren?
Furthermore, children can override their parents' wishes, either to have the jab or not, so long as they are deemed competent to make the choice... the Gillick Competence.
Under 16s can't vote, can't legally drink alcohol or smoke, can't join the Army or get married... but they can go against their parents' wishes and have a medical procedure, the long-term implications of which are still unknown? The people taking this responsibility out of parents' hands are insane.
I couldn't be more disgusted at the whole debacle - it's utterly despicable. I could weep.
All of this is to prevent our "wonderful" NHS being overwhelmed. Too late, I'm afraid. The NHS is on its last legs, it has been for years, it's an absolute shambles - bit late now to worry about it being overwhelmed.
Incidentally, Boris is still havering about vaccine passports and the return of compulsory masks; which probably means they'll be with us sometime soon.
The weather is mirroring my mood - it's been pouring with rain since 7am. The gutters are overflowing, the heating's on and the lights indoors have been on all day. Bye bye summer.
