Hundreds of Thousands March in London Protesting Pandemic Restrictions, Vaccine Passports

Londoners protesting

Hundreds of thousands of British citizens marched in central London on May 29, 2021 in a “Unite for Freedom” rally to protest against the government’s COVID-19 lockdowns, vaccine passports and other pandemic-related regulations and restrictions.1 2 Chanting “no more lockdowns” and “take your freedom back,” protesters later gathered at the Westfield shopping center, which was temporarily shut down.

Holding signs that said, “We do not consent,” and “You have no power over us” and “we’re not guinea pigs” and “Say NO to lockdowns, masks, vaccine passports” and “My body, my choice,” the Guardian quoted one protester as saying:3

We’re campaigning for a medical freedom bill which would prevent any coercion and any discrimination for not partaking in a medical procedure, because where there’s that, there can’t be fair and informed consent. Once we lose our medical freedom, there is no saying if and when we will get it back and where this slippery slope could take us.

The protesters covered London buses in stickers with messages like “Wake Up” and “Stay Free” and “Resist the Great Reset” and “Stop Kids Vax – Unsafe, Ineffective” and “The Media Is the Virus” and “Truth Will Win.” The Guardian described the event as “a mass march of about 12 miles through London, starting at Parliament Square and reaching as far west as Acton. At its height there appeared to be hundreds of thousands of people taking part.”

Throughout the peaceful demonstration, police urged protesters to go home. It ended with four arrests.

Four Experimental COVID-19 Vaccines Approved for Distribution in Britain

 The protest against pandemic lockdowns and COVID-19 vaccine passports that would prevent participation in society without proof of vaccination was held one day after Johnson & Johnson’s single dose human adenovirus vectored experimental COVID-19 vaccine was approved by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) within three months of being submitted for approval. According to New Scientist, the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen genetically engineered COVID-19 vaccine is “67 percent effective overall in preventing moderate to severe COVID-19.”  The U.K. has ordered 20 million doses of the vaccine.4

British government health officials previously approved the two dose experimental mRNA COVID -19 vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna/NIAID and the two dose AstraZeneca, Oxford University genetically engineered chimpanzee adenovirus vectored vaccine.  In early April 2021, spokespersons for Oxford University and the Drug Safety Research Unit in Britain acknowledged that the AstraZeneca/Oxford COVID-19 vaccine (AZD1222) could be linked to “rare blood clots” and temporarily paused a clinical trial of the vaccine that included children aged six to 17 years old.5 On May 5, 2021, the British Medical Journal published a study that found increased rates of blood clots in veins, or “venous thromboembolism,” in people who received a first dose of the AstraZeneca/Oxford COVID vaccine compared to blood clot rates in the broader population.6

Distrust in COVID-19 Vaccine Safety

Both the J&J/Janssen and AstraZeneca/Oxford COVID-19 vaccines have been associated with blood clots and low platelet counts.7 The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has ruled that the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen and AstraZeneca/Oxford University adenovirus vectored vaccines are “safe” but should come with a clear warning that both vaccines have been associated with blood clots and low blood platelet counts (ITP or immune thrombocytopenic purpura).8  On May 21, 2021, the EMA said that healthcare providers must be warned that a second dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine should not be given to anyone who developed blood clots with low platelets after receiving the first dose.9

According to MailOnline, many patients hospitalized with COVID in Britain have still have not gotten vaccinated and tens of thousands of other “vulnerable people” had not been vaccinated. Reasons for refusing the vaccine included fear of needles, distrust of government health officials and concern over the vaccine’s safety related to blood clots.

  1. Thank God citizens of other civilized countries are WAKING UP to the medical tyranny not only the USA but the entire world has been under. It’s frightening, but there is solidarity in NUMBERS!

    FREEDOM OF VACCINE CHOICE, NO MATTER WHAT!

  2. This is such great news to come out of England! Keep up the fight Brits!
    I hope and pray soon that I will be seeing the same here in Texas :->

  3. So impressed with the Brits! Wish there was a similar openly rebellious spirit in America. Even though half of our adults have not been vaccinated, they are hardly taking to the streets!

  4. Here in Spain the people remain compliant, trusting government policy, following the rules like ‘good citizens’. It really is sad to see grown men (and women) in their cars alone wearing a bloody mask, people jogging with masks on, people riding bikes with them on and the worst of it, the poor children. Even very small children. Shame on the parents for not kicking back, using their brains, thinking, researching and saying stop this shit right now.
    I’m originally a Londoner, so proud of my fellow countrymen stepping up and stating their discontent. We DO NOT CONSENT AND WE DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR NEW NORMAL
