UK Health Minister suggests Covid vaccines every 6 months

Matt Hancock has people may need to be revaccinated every six months in order to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
The warning came as he insisted – despite the government’s catalogue of errors – that this will be the last national lockdown.
Mr Hancock said:
“I anticipate we will probably need to revaccinate because we don’t know the longevity of the protection from these vaccines. We don’t know how frequently it will be, but it might need to be every six months, it might need to be every year.”
Asked if he thought this would be the “last of the lockdowns” because of the vaccines, Mr Hancock said: “I do, yes.”
Mr Hancock also said that Covid-19 vaccines that require adjustments to fight new variants of the virus may not need to go through the usual full trials process.
He said that as pressure on the NHS grows “it is more stretched in delivering the services that people need” and pointed to the cancelling of routine elective procedures in the second peak.
Asked if he has faith that the health service in London will be able to cope, he said: “Well, yes, I’m sure that the NHS is going to do everything that it possibly can to ensure that everybody gets the care that they need.”
Mr Hancock said critical care capacity had been extended over the summer in the capital and reiterated that the Nightingale is on stand-by.
It came as Public Health England confirmed that case rates in England are rising among all age groups.
On vaccines, he added:
“As with the flu vaccine each year, for a type of vaccine that has been clinically trialled and approved, if you make small adjustments to it, then it may not need the full year-long trials process that a new vaccine needs.
“That, of course, is a decision for the independent MHRA.”
He added:
“The way I have described it, is if you are lucky to have Range Rover and you get a new wing mirror stuck on it, it’s still a Range Rover and should be classified as such.
“In the same way, if you make a small change to a vaccine it’s essentially a regulatory clinical decision as to whether that needs to go through the full panoply of the full three phases of clinical trials“
Mr Hancock also warned that the number of people in hospitals may not fall as quickly as death rates once the vaccine is rolled out.
He told MPs:
“Hospitalisation levels I would also expect to fall, but ironically not as quickly as deaths in the first instance.
“The reason is that people that are slightly younger spend longer in hospital, often because they survive when somebody who is very old and frail might not survive for as long.”

Three shots, next it will be four, just like the never ending number of lockdowns.

“Mr Hancock also said that Covid-19 vaccines that require adjustments to fight new variants of the virus may not need to go through the usual full trials process.”
They did not go through usual trials in the present case, as well. This is an experimental medical device or treatment, it is NOT A VACCINE,” and not fit for use by all normal, realistic standards. And, why take an experimental unproven and unsafe “vaccine” for a virus that is weaker than normal influenza.
This is clearly a political agenda and, thus, because the virus in question has never been isolated, cultured and shown to cause disease, the vaccines simply cannot do what they claim. Gene therapy for the flu season viruses, yeah, that’s simply a money maker and Big Pharma is totally on board.

If the vaccines are as effective as we have been told, then we would not need to have another vaccine every year or six months. It shows the virus is mutating just like every other respiratory virus. It is not really that dangerous compared with some viruses and most people hardly suffer when they have it. It is a pandemic created unnecessarily. We should treat it as similar to flu and get on with our lives. The government should stop trying to force a vaccine on us and leave us to decide for ourselves. We cannot make a judgement because the lockdowns and mask wearing, which don’t have any supporting evidence, have distorted our understanding of the virus. Let’s get back to normal as soon as possible and see what happens.

The vaccine does sh**
Uk Gov website guidelines- – Will the vaccine protect you?
The COVID-19 vaccination will reduce the chance of you suffering from COVID-19 disease. Like all medicines, no vaccine is completely effective and it takes a few weeks for your body to build up protection from the vaccine. Some people may still get COVID-19 despite having a vaccination, but this should lessen the severity of any infection
The vaccine has been shown to be effective and no safety concerns were seen in studies of more than 20,000 people.
Will the vaccine protect those you care for?
The evidence on whether COVID-19 vaccination reduces the chance of you passing on the virus is less clear. Most vaccines reduce the overall risk of infection, but some vaccinated people may get mild or asymptomatic infection and therefore be able to pass the virus on.

More proof this is not a vaccine but an operating system to change our DNA and turn humans into genetically modified organisms. The idea of revaccinating humans is just the same as a Windows update.
You can fool some of the people all the time…

“The idea of revaccinating humans is just the same as a Windows update.” Excellent analogy! Funny how we only needed one smallpox vaccine that gave us lifetime immunity, and mumps, measles & chicken pox were just considered normal diseases of childhood, also conferring lifetime immunity. Yet now children have 72 vaccine needles jabbed into them before the age of 18—that is, if they survive that long without being “harvested” as “organ donors”.
