SAGE advisor has stated that Europe’s Covid-19 lockdown Riots are a warning to the UK and encouraged Brits to have their booster shots.
Today Professor John Edmund stated that the opposition to the restrictions placed on Europe has demonstrated the need for vaccinations. Especially since ‘it’s pretty obvious immunity is waning’.
Austria made mandatory vaccinations and announced yesterday that it will resume lockdown Monday. Germany seems poised to follow the lead of Austria after officials from Germany warned them they could not rule out a complete shutdown.
The latest european restrictions reintroduced have been met with fierce resistance. This comes amid rising infections and governments seeking to raise vaccination rates for the winter.
Protests broke out across cities, including Rotterdam. Police were ordered to shoot warning shots at demonstrators who opposed the reinstatement of restrictions.
Sky spoke to Edmund about the importance of vaccines, stating that “what you can see in Europe now with this rapid increase in cases is what you will see in central Europe.”

However, Mr Edmund stated that the UK would not be affected by Christmas chaos as the UK is in a slightly different situation.
He said, “Frankly in the UK we have had high rates for many months so we are in a slightly different situation to Austria and Germany.
“I do not believe things will happen the same way here that they did there. However, it’s a caution to us. It is clear, I believe that immunity will wane.
“I believe you have some immunity to the vaccine, however it is not nearly as effective as in the days following vaccination. It is clear that booster doses can give you an immune boost.

Sky asked Mr Edmund if he thought the government should reinstate control measures. He replied that ‘Plan B’ measures could have been implemented at any time. This is a government decision.
“They need to evaluate the effectiveness of certain things and compare it with the cost.

The Austrian government has announced that a nationwide lockdown will be in place to stop the rising number of coronavirus cases in Austria. Ten thousand people have already protested against Covid-19’s restrictions in Vienna.
Rotterdam police responded to anti-lockdown protests by opening fire on them. Five people were also injured and two others were killed in the incident.

The Dutch government has said it wants to introduce a law that would allow businesses to restrict the country’s coronavirus pass system to only people who are fully vaccinated or have recovered from Covid-19 — that would exclude people who test negative.
The southern city of Breda will host a musical protest by DJs against the current Covid-19 measures. This includes the closing of all bars and restaurants at 8 pm. According to organizers, they anticipate several thousand.
