badgerthewitness Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 1 hour ago, Detournement said: Personally I think he's pushing this to lead into a digital ID which will allow everyone to be tracked in our movements as we are online and just like Google, Facebook and Microsoft have made huge profits from online surveillance there will new be opportunities to profit and also influence group behaviour. I suspect Blair and his backers want something similar to China's Social Credit system operating in the West. Bill Gates (who has given Blair $16m over the past five years) has been pushing a project called ID2020 to give everyone digital IDs but is especially focused on Africans. He has invested in technology which will leave a quantum dot on anyone who receives a vaccination which will brand them with details of their vaccination status and identity. It's not hard to see this being used to make it easier to process and reject climate refugees in the future. Cashless society is also coming and that will be another tightening of societal control and will have consequences beyond just using a debit card or phone rather than notes. What's a quantum dot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average Smart Phone user has their movements tracked by 200 different companies. The issue isn't do large corporations and governments want to monitor you. The issue is how is the surveillance going to be expanded? Tesco were really the company who pioneered this using Dunnhumby, long before our digital friends. Clubcard was the jewel in the crown and was really the start of the "big bang" in data mining. It really is unbelievable how much money is involved in this stuff and no surprise to see Tony boy baw deep in it, as it were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 It’s not impossible to get to zero covid. Other countries have done it. Get the cases as low as possible through the vaccine and then test and trace. It would take a lot of effort which people don’t want cause they can’t be arsed.So how long do we need to be locked in our homes not allowed to do anything for this to happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I'm not really convinced the SG are following a protect the NHS strategy, we've not been close to the NHS up here being totally fucked yet we've had it busy but we've a big shiny place with 1000 beds once we get a bit busier, just need to smuggle on some nurses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'The head of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has said that age is likely to be a dominant factor in deciding who will be next in line to receive the jab. The Daily Mail has reported that the age brackets could be wider than in the previous stage of the nation’s inoculation drive - meaning 40 to 49-year-olds are likely to be invited for a jab once the top nine groups get their first dose. The Mail also reported that this means vaccines will be given on the basis of age, rather than prioritising key workers. Professor Wei Shen Lim told an online audience of doctors that age "dominates by a long way" while underlying health conditions contribute "some increased risk", the Daily Telegraph reports. The JCVI has not yet published plans on who should be vaccinated beyond the top nine groups, but has faced calls for police officers and teachers to be prioritised in the next stage.' Given the increasingly clear impact on transmission, I'd still find it strange if people like shop workers etc aren't moved up the queue. The risk to under 50s is negligible so trying to impact transmission would surely start to make more sense once the vulnerable are protected? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, but I remember reading something about an Asian country doing something along these lines. They were vaccinating those who were actively running the country in terms of infrastructure while the rest and vulnerable were kept under strict shielding orders. I don't know if this plan came to fruition or if it had any positive effect, and I could well be talking out my hole, but it's an interesting idea. I've heard some mumblings about teachers needing to be push up the queue but I think that may have been driven by union reps. Not sure how much good that would do if school staff were vaccinated if kids were potentially taking it and spreading it home though.

I'm sure their plan was to vaccinate younger people first as they'd be out working and it would get the economy moving again. Like you, I have no idea how it's doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
