Report: UK Government Could Grant Vaccine Exemptions to Ethnic Minorities

“Nervousness” over perception that mandating vaccine passports could be seen as racist.

The UK government could grant vaccine exemptions to people of color while simultaneously mandating vaccine travel certificates for everyone else in order to avoid accusations of racism, according to a report in the Spectator.

Despite repeatedly promising that ‘vaccine passports’ would not be required in order to fly, the government has been actively planning for their introduction.

After more than 324,000 people signed a petition opposing immunization passports, UK vaccine minister Nadhim Zahawi said that vaccines would not be compulsory and that, “We have absolutely no plans for vaccine passporting.”

That turned out to be a complete falsehood.

As the Spectator reports today, “Responsibilities have already been divided up between government departments to look at the idea. If approved, the Department for Transport will be told to draw up plans for a certificate infrastructure. And the NHS will be told to prepare to let people access their vaccine status when preparing for international travel.”

Sky News reports that Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has already signed off on the proposal but that there’s a “nervousness” within government about when it will be announced publicly.

“The UK Government, like most nations, wants to open up international travel in a responsible safe and fair manner and we continue to be guided by the science,” a government spokesperson said. “We want to ensure there is an internationally recognised approach to enable travel and are working closely with international partners to do so.”

Part of this “nervousness” is based around the perception that mandating vaccines for travel could be seen as racist because suspicion of vaccines and poorer inoculation rates are commonplace within BAME communities.

The Spectator’s Lara Prendergast suggests that the government could get around this by granting exemptions to people from ethnic minority backgrounds.

“Polls say that about 85% of British adults are “likely” to take up the offer of a jab, but 15% have concerns,” writes Prendergast. “People who can’t have a vaccine for medical reasons might be granted an exemption. But will the wishes of others be taken into consideration, their rights protected, their religious views respected, if vaccine documentation is brought in? Inevitably it will be those already on the edges of society – people who often avoid contact with the authorities – who are pushed out further by the need to prove their immunological status. Vaccine refuseniks, according to Zahawi, “skew heavily towards BAME communities” which raises the prospect of vaccine passports deepening racial divisions – particularly if the Government decides to grant certain exemptions.”

Perhaps those who don’t wish to take the vaccine but still want to travel could merely identify as black, announcing themselves as “transracial” in order to secure the exemption.

Coronavirus

Australian PM Takes Private Jet, Fails to Quarantine While Citizens Remain Under Lockdown

Rules for thee but not for me.

While locked down Australians are being told they shouldn’t even talk to their neighbors, Prime Minister Scott Morrison reportedly took a private jet to visit his family in Sydney and then failed to quarantine upon returning to Canberra.

“After receiving an ‘essential work exemption, Mr Morrison flew over Father’s Day weekend to Sydney in New South Wales on Saturday, before returning on Monday morning to Canberra. Critics say he made the trip to see his family, something fellow Australians were prevented from doing,” reports the Telegraph.

Both Sydney and Canberra are under draconian lockdowns, with people only being allowed to leave their homes for ‘essential’ reasons and citizens prevented from traveling significant distances, although those rules don’t appear to apply to Morrison.

Under normal COVID-19 rules, Morrison should have been forced to undergo two weeks quarantine upon his return to Canberra, but the PM “did not enter quarantine, instead conducting face-to-face government business.”

Meanwhile, Aussies were prevented from seeing their own family members on Father’s Day.

“I think Mr Morrison has exercised poor judgment in this case … It’s not that he doesn’t deserve to see his kids, but so does every other Australian,” said opposition MP Bill Shorten.

Australia has imposed the most brutal lockdown in the developed world, with citizens being told they shouldn’t engage in conversations with each other even while wearing masks.

As we highlighted yesterday, authorities in Victoria, Australia have announced they will “lock out” unvaccinated people from being able to participate in the economy.

New South Wales health chief Dr. Kerry Chant also asserted that COVID will be with us “forever” and people will have to “get used to” taking endless booster vaccines.

Business Owner Tests Positive For COVID For Second Time Despite Being Double Jabbed

Expresses gratitude for taking the vaccine anyway.

A business owner in the UK has been forced to close her shop after testing positive for COVID-19 for the second time despite being double jabbed.

Ursula Sutcliffe says she has lost her sense of smell, has a pain in the back of her head and is now bedridden due to the infection, despite having received her second dose of the vaccine.

“Ursula, who had her second vaccination in May this year, first tested positive for Covid in September last year, which led to her plant shop being shut for 10 days. This is set to be the same situation 12 months on,” reports the Telegraph & Argus.

“It’s a nightmare. I feel absolutely shattered,” said Sutcliffe.

“On Sunday morning I woke up and I felt like I had been hit by a train. The back of my skull felt like I had been hit in the head.

The shop owner previously had to close her store the first time she got COVID and then again after someone who visited was pinged by the onerous ‘Track and Trace’ system.

Unbelievably, Sutcliffe responded to the complete failure of the vaccine by expressing gratitude for the fact that she was able to take it.

“This is my second time having covid. The 1st was September last year. Double jabbed & thankful for that because I feel terrible,” she tweeted.

She also scolded herself for not wearing a face mask during the summer, despite studies showing they are virtually useless at stopping the spread of the virus.

“I stopped wearing my mask as much in the shop. I could kick myself now,” said Sutcliffe.

So having ‘followed the science’ by complying and getting double jabbed, Sutcliffe’s reaction to the jab not working is to regret that she didn’t comply even more.

Meanwhile, after Brits were told that taking the vaccine would reduce severe symptoms and prevent the NHS from being “overwhelmed” by serious COVID hospitalizations, they’re now being told that an October lockdown is likely due to an increase in COVID hospitalizations.

People are also about to line up for the first of God knows how many vaccine “booster shots,” because the first two doses were so successful.

The clown show goes on.

Rutgers Uni Student Banned From Taking Online Virtual Classes Because He’s Unvaccinated

No jab, no education.

A student at Rutgers University was banned from taking online virtual classes because he’s unvaccinated, despite the fact that he was willing to stay off campus completely.

Yes, really.

After transferring to the university last year, psychology major Logan Hollar signed up for all online virtual classes for this school year.

Hollar explained why he chose not to take the coronavirus vaccine.

“I’m not in an at-risk age group. I’m healthy and I work out. I don’t find COVID to be scary,” said the 22-year-old. “If someone wants to be vaccinated, that’s fine with me, but I don’t think they should be pushed.”

However, when he went to pay for his online course late last month, Hollar discovered that he had been locked out of his Rutgers email and related accounts.

When the student asked campus authorities why he had been frozen out, he was told the vaccine was mandatory even for those taking virtual classes.

Apparently, COVID-19 is so potent that it can be transmitted over wi-fi.

Despite the university claiming it offered vaccine waivers and exemptions, Hollar’s attempts to secure one were unsuccessful.

Rutgers spokeswoman Dory Devlin emphasized that students need to comply with the vaccine mandate to take courses, commenting, “We continue to work with students who have not yet uploaded their documentation so they can gain access to university systems and classes.”

Hollar now says that he will probably have to transfer to a different university, having already missed several classes.

“I find it concerning for the vaccine to be pushed by the university rather than my doctor,” he said. “I’ll probably have to transfer to a different university.”

“I don’t care if I have access to campus. I don’t need to be there. They could ban me. I just want to be left alone,” added Hollar.

As we highlighted back in January, several US universities threatened to cut off students’ Internet access unless they followed strict COVID lockdown rules.
