Coronavirus Act section 51 gave police powers to arrest "potentially infectious" people.
It's mainly been used to unlawfully detain healthy, innocent people.
It's due for renewal THIS THURSDAY 25 March.

If enough people don't take the vax their plans can't work - remember the unions in the 70s or Thatcher in the 80s looked victorious and they fell in the end - this is done to demoralise us so we surrender
"As I said, the publication of this response didn’t pass without comment. On 5 November, Rosalind English, a former lecturer on law and genetics at the University of Cambridge and currently part of the editorial team of the UK Human Rights Blog, wrote:
‘Even assuming an entirely safe and effective vaccination, it is something of a step to proclaiming the entire population of a country is on a par with mental health patients who have been deemed enough of a danger to themselves and others to warrant medical treatment under detention. Compulsory interference with a person’s bodily integrity is not something that a democratic society will tolerate without detailed regulations and specialist tribunals in place.’
Ms. English, nevertheless, concludes that, notwithstanding the Mental Health Act:
‘Vaccination without consent would be prohibited by the criminal law on assault, and even grievous bodily harm, if the consequences of the treatment are serious.’
In this she appears to take comfort from the conclusion the authors draw from their first parity argument, that new and primary legislation would be required for the Government to make a vaccination for COVID-19 compulsory."

Dear Robin, this fascinating manuscript shows that the common cold Rhinovirus protects human airway lining cells from attack by SARS-COV-2. It does so by causing those cells to release an anti-viral substance called interferon.
Isn’t that amazing!? Locking down would tend to reduce the easy spreading of this very common rhinovirus & paradoxically risk making COVID19 worse, both in individuals as well as populations.
Interestingly, we already knew that SARS-COV-2 was extremely sensitive to interferon because a UK biotech company called Synairgen showed last year a profoundly beneficial effect of their inhaled IFN product on covid19 patients.
With best wishes,
Mike Yeadon

Spot the flaw with social distancing, lockdowns, stay at home orders, & face masks (if they worked, which they don't)

Mike Yeadon: "I think it’s entirely possible that lockdowns could have different effects on differing respiratory viruses.
I’m clear from the evidence that a symptomatic covid19 patient is required to be an efficient source of infection.
Since the general, ambulatory community actively & strongly de selects for symptomatic covid19 because they feel unwell if not frankly ill & aren’t likely to be wondering about & also the rest of us instinctively avoid evidently unwell people,
Lockdown therefore wouldn’t impact transmission much since community transmission was low anyway & didn’t much affect institutional transmission either. What a mess of mistaken assumptions.
The common cold, by contrast, rarely makes people so ill that they don’t go out. So community transmission of rhinovirus is probably an relatively important route of spreading.
As rhinovirus is so powerful an inhibitor of replication of SARS-COV-2 in airways, it’s loss during lockdown arguably meant those who did acquire covid19- perhaps because they live with a health & social care staff member, would be expected to have had a worse outcome thereby.
I agree that not understanding the different dynamics, ecology & virus-virus interactions in the host meant that not only did lockdowns not save people from catching SARS-COV-2, lockdowns harmed the immune response to it (to say nothing of the extreme harms of lockdowns on other aspects of life.
Nice one, SAGE, you dangerous idiots.

In conclusion:
-endemic coronaviruses lead to less severe Covid19 through cross reactive T-cell immunity
-rhinoviruses protect from SARSCoV2 infection by causing airway cells to release the interferon anti-viral
-endemic coronaviruses lead to less severe Covid19 through cross reactive T-cell immunity

The Government have announced a review into introducing a Covid vaccine certificate system or “vaccine passports.
The Committee have launched an inquiry to consider potential ethical, legal and operational issues and the efficacy and appropriateness of a certificate system.
We invite written evidence on any of these areas?
