What justifies a lockdown? That’s the question which, 16 months after the policy was introduced into Western democracies as a draconian tool of disease management, we still don’t have a clear answer to. First sold to the public as a way of mitigating peak health service demand during the initial pandemic wave (and thus supposedly saving lives by ensuring more people could get treated – ignore the irony that the overuse of ventilators during those first few weeks likely increased the mortality rate), the justification has evolved over time. In November it was a “circuit breaker” to save Christmas, though Christmas was not saved. In January it was to buy time to allow the most vulnerable to receive at least their first vaccine dose, though it turned out that was not enough to restore our freedoms.
Yesterday the Prime Minister and his scientific flunkies Chris Witless and Patrick Unbalanced unveiled the Government’s latest excuse to keep the restrictions going. “The objective of this short delay,” said the Prime Minister, “is to use these crucial weeks to save thousands of lives, of lives that would otherwise be lost… by vaccinating millions more people as fast as we can.”
Sir Patrick elaborated on three benefits to the delay:
- Some protection for over-18s as they will have been offered one vaccine by July 19th.
- More protection for over-40s as more of them will have had both their vaccine doses.
- Reopening will be near to the school holidays when no mixing in schools will take place.
What none of the three explained was why these benefits justified four more weeks of restrictions, which hospitality leaders have said will mean a £3 billion loss to the industry during what should be one of its busiest trading periods.
The vaccines are “not 100% effective”, Vallance said, as though anyone had ever suggested they were, “and therefore avoiding a very large peak is very important. Realistically, if we ever got a very large wave, there would be a very large number of people in hospital”.
But would there? If the vaccines are as good as they are reported to be at reducing serious illness – Vallance described them yesterday as “spectacularly more effective than we ever could have hoped for” – then even if there are lots of cases in the young, why should hospitals get overrun?
Vallance explained that it was only because of the vaccines that they weren’t already looking at new lockdown measures: “If we didn’t have the vaccinations we’ve got, we would be looking at what lockdowns would be needed.” This is despite him also acknowledging that: “This is a virus that’s going to be with us forever.” Together these statements imply that lockdowns, too, are going to be with us forever, hanging over us, threatened whenever over-zealous public health advisers can persuade a risk-averse Prime Minister that the latest variant or virus is going to, well, what? As I say, that’s the question that still hasn’t been answered.
The latest restrictions are intended to “reduce the peak by 30-50%”, Vallance said. But will it be a big peak or a small peak? “Thousands of lives” will be saved, said the Prime Minister. But how many thousands? After all, thousands of lives are lost in the U.K. to contagious diseases every year – mostly though not exclusively among the very frail and otherwise unwell. If restrictions on social interaction are justified merely to save “thousands of lives”, why not impose them every winter? Or keep them in place permanently to prevent people getting too close and spreading their germs? That’s the logic of this mad, totalitarian approach to disease control (even if we allow, for the sake of argument, that lockdowns are effective at controlling COVID-19, a theory for which there is no real-world evidence).
The Prime Minister made much of a recent “doubling” in Covid hospital admissions, though on the Government dashboard hospital admissions are still short of doubling.
In addition, those being admitted are, as Chief Executive of NHS Providers Chris Hopson tweeted recently, “younger with less requirement for critical care”.
This probably explains why the number of patients in hospital is not increasing with the admissions, as they are quickly being discharged.
So again, how big is this “third wave” expected to be, that supposedly justifies keeping restrictions in place?
The Government modellers can’t tell us. SAGE’s latest advice is that they have no real idea. In a summary document from the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling (SPI-M), reported in the Telegraph, the authors state that the scale of a resurgence is “highly uncertain” and it may be “considerably smaller or larger than previous waves”. They add:
SPI-M cannot determine with confidence whether taking Step 4 of the Roadmap on June 21st would result in a peak that might put unsustainable pressure on the NHS. The epidemic is at a particularly uncertain point in time and models have struggled to reconcile the rapid growth in Delta cases with what appear to be currently flat hospitalisations. While there is a significant resurgence in admissions in all scenarios, the scale of that resurgence is highly uncertain and ranges from considerably smaller than January 2021 to considerably higher.
The teams at Warwick, Imperial and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine all project a big summer wave as their central scenario. However, they expect it to be big whether or not freedom day is delayed, and suggest the delay would save only around 5,000 lives. Is this now Government policy – to impose swingeing restrictions every time a model suggests they can save 5,000 lives (mostly among the frail elderly) from contagious disease?
On the plus side, with all the modelling teams projecting a big summer wave under the current restrictions, it won’t be long before we know if they’re right. And if their projections of doom are yet again proved wrong, will they then be finally discredited? You wouldn’t bet on it. Like kings of old turning to their astrologers for guidance, no amount of failure seems capable of discrediting these merchants of mathematical bluster.
Boris ended on a signal of hope. “On the basis of what we can currently see I am confident that July 19th will be a terminal date, not a ‘not before’ date,” adding that “as things stand I can’t see a reason” to go back into further lockdowns, even though there will be further surges of the disease. He concluded:
I am acutely conscious that it’s not just that nightclubs can’t go ahead and the theatre industry. There are many businesses that need to move beyond social distancing, many jobs where we need to be able to do things in the way that we always used to do them. People are yearning to get back to that… I am confident that we will be, barring unforeseeable new variants, I am confident that we will get there. We want a roadmap that is irreversible and to achieve an irreversible roadmap you have to be cautious.
It sounds vaguely reassuring, I suppose, but we’ve heard it all before. Many now are worried that by bottling his freedom day Boris is now opening the door to permanent curbs on normal life. That is the spectre now haunting this country, and it’s not clear that Boris has the strength of character to banish it.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
It’s time for massive civil disobedience. No choices left; protest, and help anyone with the guts enough to open their businesses completely and mask-free.
I’m in the US, and the U.K. vaccination, infection, and fatality numbers are better than ours. Maryland finally opened up last month after 15 months of hard restrictions.
There is no excuse whatsoever for extending your lockdowns.
And even if there was a tiny increase in safety (which there clearly isn’t), what’s the point if life in the lockdown prison is not worth living?
Protests are fine, but if we have them, as I have said, it should be something they can’t ignore.
Speaking of which, I see GBN reported on the protest in London yesterday. So far as I’m concerned, an encouraging start. As for the BBC, they reported on hundreds gathering in London… to watch the Euros (“Ceefax”, London local news). And they apparently sabotaged the launch of GBN. They are a disgrace (and should probably be defunded).
No probably about it. I’ve done my bit, though.
I too was impressed by GBN’s coverage. It’s early days yet, and they need to fix tech problems, particularly with sound, but I am hopeful for success. Sadly it won’t ween the sheeple off their beloved BBC.
“[The BBC] are a disgrace (and should probably be defunded)“
“Probably”!?
“It’s time for massive civil disobedience”
Sure. But Civil disobedience requires a significant weigh of un-brainwashed numbers.
You know, I think Dr. Mike Yeadon might just be right that Witless (wormtongue) and Unbalanced are lying. No way health people in their 40’s are at risk. And a cursory grasp of numeracy should indicate the “thousands of lives saved” claim to be a nonsense. Especially as lockdowns kill.
They lied in the autumn to justify lockdown, why not now?
They lied all the way back to 3 weeks to squash the sombrero…and probably even before that.
Sadly, I’ve been certain I’m right for quite a while. Problem is, no one will believe me, even scientists in the LS movement.
Seriously, I won’t embarrass them by naming them, but many still hope this is all a terrible error & somewhere there’s a benign explanation I’ve missed.
It’s a bizarre mix of red pilled on the data but blue pilled on the implications.
Now: please….what have you got to lose from acting as if I’m right?
I’ve asked hundreds of thousands of people to let me know if they identify an error of reasoning or a benign interpretation.
No one has contacted me except to say they fear I’m correct. Not one person has written in to correct my errors or assemble a benign explanation.
…because there is absolutely nothing ‘benign’ about any of this.
Sadly the only logical conclusion is the one you came to Mike. I have done so much research the past 6 months and when you look at the truth and who is really running things the plan really is for mass depopulation worldwide, digital IDs and complete private control over all resources by the technocratic elite. Effectively enslaving all of us who are reliant on those resources.
In Australia they have announced a “digial wallet” and to get one you have to take the vaccine. Cash will be totally phased out over the next year.
Every single policy, PI, NPI, non PI etc. has had only one effect: reducing the average life expectancy of the plebs.
Because in their view, only can this save retirement and Healthcare systems, the finance industry and the climate.
Although the climate nonsense has BA to do with climate, it is just part of the control strategy.
The suggestion that we can regulate world temperatures like adjusting a domestic oven is the most disingenuous, hubristic crap ever spouted.
Dr Mike Yeadon is correct and this is a depopulation exercise. At some point the globalists plan will go horribly wrong because that is what happens in war but by then it will possibly be too late for humanity.
I suspect the problems will start when the veneer of “honesty, all in the public good,” starts to lift and downright brutality replaces it.
Agree.
They all suffer from a ‘God complex’. Doctors are predisposed to that anyway.
And for the first time ever, they were able to get organized and, above all, could get the money for it (temporarily).
This generalization isn’t very insightful about the psychology that is involved. And some degree of understanding about motivation is extremely important.
Your last sentence did not play out in 1930s/1940s Germany.
And from 1945 to the 1980s, many people there never really changed their minds- I have plenty of personal, family ‘evidence’ for that.
Any cult can and will only end in and through the catastrophe, not by its members revolting, losing faith and converting.
The only catastrophes than can and will end the current one are a) gazillions of vaccine caused premature deaths that can’t be covered up or misattributed anymore and/or b) that the money has run out.
And even then, most surviving members will quietly remain faithful believers.
YEP
As I pointed out in another thread – this house of cards is built on lies and propaganda so crude and primitive that it defies belief that only a small percentage of people can see the lies for what they are. And yet the masses swallow it all: lie after lie, endlessly and repeatedly.
Thank you for continuing to enlighten people – the last interview was your best yet.
Many decades of conditioning has lead us to here. News, TV Shows and Movies all to brainwash people and ready them for this moment.
You’re in good company. Germany’s top mathematician, Prof. Stephan Luckhaus recently resigned from the Royal Society equivalent Leopoldina and the Max Planck Institute in disgust. In his resignation speech he confirmed that the risk of death through Covid for anyone under the age of 70 in reasonable health is as minuscule as dying unexpectedly from any other event or illness.
Thank you so much Mike Yeadon for all your efforts. As a matter of interest do you think that the primary motivation for the continued lockdowns is simply to get more jabs into people?
You are correct Sir and have been so from the beginning. That’s because you are a scientist and believe in evidence and are not interested in climbing the greasy political pole on the basis of GIGO assumption driven mathematical modelling.
If there is a fundamental culprit then let’s look to the quality (or lack thereof) of scientific education in this country; since the early 1970s?
I think lying has paid a significant role right from the start. To determine its origins and extent (as opposed to gullibility) is harder to determine.
But, personally, I clocked that something was deeply wrong when the ‘press conferences’ started, and I could see the same establishment propaganda techniques emerging via the BBC and Guardian particularly as were used against Corbyn to establish a false narrative (forget opinions on Corbyn – this is just factual stuff about media narratives – the Beeb and the Groan are always significant weathercocks to indicate the push from – essentially – the Cabinet Office nexus via various channels when the press is being leaned on – as the media literate know.)
This prompted me to look at the actual data, which, in terms of population adjusted all-cause mortality showed that, even with the April spike, there was nothing to support the later statement by the government (in their paper on vaccine authorization) that :
“COVID-19 is the biggest threat this country has faced in peacetime history”
i.e. Bluntly – that key official statement is a clear and blatant lie. In fact (and now the evidence is even clearer, but not mentioned), 25% of previous infection seasons even in the last quarter of a century have been worse in terms of mortality. Take it back to WWII, and all years before 2008 were worse.
I stay away fro all-embracing conspiracy theories and try to apply the KISS principle (Occam’s shaver) – but I think, Mike, your original analysis of overlapping motivations, opportunism and gullibility was correct.
However, the lies do betray a perversion of the truth that is indeed sinister driver of what is going on.
So many lives already lost and many more soon to be lost caused by denying people access to health care.
Unfortunately that relentless and aggressive determination to get “everyone” injected points to motives well beyond opportunism and gullibility.
The only remaining explanation is what many of us now agree on: deliberate mass murder.
Deliberate PROFITABLE mass murder
It would be like charging the Jews for Zyklon B
Well put.
Excellent analysis, thank you
Of course they are lying.
“Whoever organised the lies has an objective to lead to large numbers of deaths” (Dr Mike Yeadon).
Discuss…
And by the way, I was talking to someone recently who had had some “not quite right” dentistry and found that dentists are reluctant to crticise the work of another dentist. So when Dr Yeadon tells a similar story for his discipline, I can believe it, and I don’t underestimate the significance of his use of words like “lies” and “crimes”.
I was lucky then, my good dentist was horrified by the appalling standard of work by his predecessor. He returned my faith in the profession, but like many good dentists took early retirement. I wish many of my useless doctors took early retirement rather than the good ones.
I can well believe a lot of “professionals” in many fields not wishing to rock the boat
It’s certain that some of the measures have resulted a very large numbers of real, avoidable deaths. Lockdown, NHS restrictions, withholding treatments, etc
Whoever thought this up or signed it off, knowing it would cost 40,000 lives, has already crossed the Rubicon.
If the next order costs 40,000,000 lives, it’s not a harder thing to do.
Becoming a mass murderer is something you do once only.
The idea that the vast majority of people couldn’t do something like that is for the birds. Medics have changed utterly in just 18months. Many of them know what they’re doing is killing their patients. They’re trousering the jabs cash & staying quiet.
“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.”
That’s the one.
When Dr Tess Lawrie sends her review of ivermectin research to Matt Hancock to show its overwhelming effectiveness to prevent and treat Covid , and he does not respond to her, what is going on. She does the research evaluation for years for NICE and WHO, and now she is ignored (as it proves we don’t all need vaccines?)
That Hancock did not respond is an indication of his guilt. Not treating covid sufferers until their lungs are so inflamed their oxygen levels are dangerously low when there is a readily available and cheap medication available that would have prevented suffering and even death is surely the crime of the century.
Quite. I’ve known for more than a year that covid is easy to treat & almost no one need die of it,
I’ve known most of the narrative is lies for a bit less time, PCR being my starting point.
I confess it wasn’t until late 2020 that I realised it was wholly lies & just before Christmas when the rationale hit me like a train: depopulation.
It was watching Paul Schreyer’s YouTube documentary on “Pandemic Simulations: preparation for a new era?” that removed the final block.
Most people can’t accept this is planned because “It’s too complex to be a conspiracy”. No, it isn’t,
All the players in the real world played identical roles in prior table top simulations & they’ve been refining what they’d do if there was a pandemic for decades.
So all they’re doing is what they’ve rehearsed for years.
I expect the vast majority of those involved think this is about limiting climate change.
They won’t need to know that the solution is very much darker.
Ironically, I’m no longer at risk, in my view,
Having called it, I can easily be smeared as a conspiracy theorist,
Ironic, as there is an obvious conspiracy. Nothing theoretical about it.
The Milligram Experiment!
Will You Obey the Criminal Authoritarians? (mercola.com)
I couldn’t agree more. I have been on the receiving end of some extremly dodgy “doctoring ” in the last couple of months following a heart attack – hospital was so bad I discharged myself after two days – and if it hadn’t been for a good and competent nurse alerting me to inappropriate prescription medicines God knows whether I would be here now.
So, yes, some medics are trousering the cash and enjoying a quiet life.
Sadly you nailed it again.
SPI-M are admitting that because the link between cases and hospitalisation has weakened or been broken by the vaccine rollout, their models now have such large error terms as to make them unusable. The SAGE scientists are essentially saying – we now have no ability to project anything with confidence so it’s up to you lot now. The decision has therefore been taken to lock down the borders and try and vaccinate the entire adult population before opening up irreversibly. This is the politics of desperation – they are literally flying blind on this one.
SAGE, SPI -V, SPI-M, NERVTAG, SPLISH, SPLASH and SPLOSH are not working in the public interests. Their aims and objectives are nothing to do with protecting the health of the nation, nothing to do with public health, at all.
Funny that. Whose interests could they be working in, then?
I’ll just drop this again, here:
https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2017/12/06/tom-jefferson-the-uk-turns-to-witty-vallance-and-van-tam-for-leadership-revolving-doors/
[Different Witty, but illustrates who calls the tune on public health]
Thanks for the link. Very interesting, especially the comments.
What foresight there was. It was fortuitous that some key players of today were being placed in such positions as far back as 2017. Their experience in the pharmaceutical industry and operational management of influenza and pandemic planning could be seen as a major benefit in the event of some such large scale occurrence. Then we got the big event of 2020. Forewarned is forearmed I believe is the saying.
I found this quite telling:
“The Department of Health has for too long optimistically assumed that the interests of health and of the industry are as one. This may reflect the fact that the Department
sponsors the industry as well as looking after health….”
Million dollar question indeed – whose interests could the key advisors of today be working in?
…and why?
Some of their decisions have been very perplexing and difficult to understand the rationale.
But so far no one is stopping them!
Unbalanced is turning into a politician with this statement “ Realistically, if we ever got a very large wave, there would be a very large number of people in hospital”. Well yes of course there would but there’s a big caveat IF at the front.
The definition of wave is very flexible. I would expect a wave to be shown by an impact on the health services, not by how many positives you can conjure up by increasing the numbers of tests on symptomless people, that even Hancock admitted in the early days results in up to 0.8% false positives and is arguably much more in the twice weekly LFTs.
Not if the “wave” is another casedemic. The usual garbage from puppet Unbalanced.
Boris runs a populist government. The key to this is to realise that politicians are followers not leaders and that stories matter because people believe them, not because they are true.
The people believe that masks work, that lockdowns slow transmission and they continue to do so. Therefore the theatre play must continue.
The excuses are wearing thin solely because the main actors no longer believe in the play, but the audience is demanding it continues. People are hooked on their diet of fear.
Boris et al will continue to do this until the polls show that the majority of people want to see change. Currently they don’t in the UK.
But they do, why do people still believe polls? Just over a thousand pro lockdowners asked do you want the lockdown to continue
When the inflation bites and these pro restriction people start to feel the pinch they will turn very fast. Bunter’s short termism will be his undoing. Hopefully soon.
They have total control including of the macroeconomics.
Not been surprised by the resilience of sterling?
That’s a huge giveaway for me. In any other era, GBP would have long ago been in the toilet.
A friend pointed out that the global financial crisis had an odd sense of unreality about it.
It was also short lived but it’s established the idea of near limitless money printing by central banks.
This was NECESSARY in order to fund lockdowns.
Had we not had the GFC, this couldn’t happen.
Agreed, it can be argued that part of the depopulation agenda is driven by the big money who know that the whole pension Ponzi scheme in the West has been bust for a long time. Pensions are a huge time-bomb ticking down to an inevitable explosion.
I don’t think the GFC was part of the big plan, but I have recently come around to thinking that the responses to it, Zero rates and QE, already were, instituted mainly to pave the ground for MMT and the plandemic’s financial underpinning already.
Hi Mike – thanks for everything you’re contributing here and elsewhere. Yes, the obvious comment on Global Financial Crisis and response of creating vast amounts of money and debt out of thin air is – why live like there’s no tomorrow, maybe because there isn’t. Sad and bad times I fear.
No, Johnson (when will people learn that calling him “Boris” just helps him – it’s his intentionally cuddly stage name) runs a government of lying opportunists, not populists.
They pander to populist concerns as and when they see it as useful to do so (as of course do their Labour and LibDem equivalents), but they absolutely are not themselves populists, any more than they are conservative.
Let’s get out as many people as you know are fed up with this ON JUNE 26th MARCH FOR FREEDOM rally.
This time at least GB News will give us great coverage.
I hope so, but, so far, they have been a very damp squib. If they fail on this then they will have completely lost their raison d’etre.
Where and when?
I have been at both marches.
The first was great, the second only soso.
I guess our pool of people steadily shrinks, as people succumb to the coercion.
The reaction of the shopping bystanders was truly shocking: apathetic at best, often smirkingly vile, in particular the young.
This youth wants and deserves its enslavement, that’s for sure.
On the Dan Wootton segment of GB news last night, you could see the determined blindness by his guests (female blogger and labour activist guy) regarding the lockdown marches. If they looked at the footage they’d have seen endless telegenic aspirational types which I only mention because it’s the kind of image that is subliminally persuasive to sections of the public which is part of the reason it is censored IMO.
You and I are being openly mocked. Of course, Johnson has taken instructions on what to do next whilst at the G7 soirée.
This is Johnson’s Poll Tax moment and it’s time to take the gloves off.
See you on the 26th.
Oh, and by the way, any business, pub or hotel, brave enough to open up, will get my custom.
Neil Kinnock did not demand the Poll tax be extended, John Smith then Tony Blair did not demand VAT on domestic fuel be extended but Keir Starmer demands lockdown be extended.
Starmer is a disgrace.
No, he’s a member of the Trilateral Commission.
Keir Starmer is a cleaned-up, tidied-up Jeremy Corbyn
No. He is a replacement – for someone who was outside the establishment fence.
Starmer is doing the job he was put in place to do by the Globalists Elite.
https://peopleslockdowninquiry.co.uk/: Covid: The Weapon of Mass Destruction.
Kim Jong Johnson has no character to speak off, he is a great fat communist fraud, his supposed libertarian instincts do not exist and have never existed.
I hope the businesses open up free of restrictions (behave like you’re at the G7) and the customers will come, most people dont go into places now because of masks. No one has been prosecuted for not wearing a mask, none at the Downing Street protest last night, they are gone, except for the covid extremists.
Sadly, the opposite is true, certainly currently in Germany.
The people and retailers! there now want to keep the mask mandates and warn the politicians to not be uncautious in that regard.
Learned helplessness meets the Stockholm syndrome.
We’re f*cked.
Why has the propaganda been able to convince even politicians that most people want to continue lockdown. Steve Baker last night GB news, thinks that the fixed polls are correct !! Is this a ‘get out clause’ for them?
The polls are, in my experience, an accurate reflection.
Playing for time, spinning it out until the booster jabs are ready and then it will be “oh we just need more time to vaccinate the vulnerable with their booster jabs” (rinse and repeat for all age groups) whilst finalising the tech for the digital ID.
We are told that the behavioural specialists on SAGE have conducted a series of campaigns to scare the population sh**less.
I am beginning to believe that our prime minister is a recipient rather than a culprit.
Note that everything we’ve been told about this virus is a lie. Completely novel, no immunity, everyone vulnerable, unusually lethal, no treatments, PCR a reliable detector, masks block it, lockdown prevents transmission, which is often without symptoms, there are dangerous variants, immunity after infection isn’t permanent, vaccines work & are safe.
Everything is misleading & they’re known all these are wrong since before first lockdown.
That’s lying.
The endgame is at minimum vaccine passports & a needle in every arm, including minor children (who don’t transmit well).
VaxPass cedes totalitarian tyranny to those operating the database & algorithms.
I suspect VaxPass is sought because it renders getting us to attend for 3rd & subsequent injections easy.
They won’t be vaccines but lethal biotechnology gene sequences, which will produce tissue targeting with delays, so that deaths will accord with whatever media lies are going around at the time.
Mass depopulation with plausible deniability.
Even now, when it’s obvious there’s no possible benign interpretation of actions, we still won’t rise up.
Avoidance requires emigration to a location further behind where U.K. is, repeating the trick while mass censorship keeps the truth away from the adjacent countries.’
We really have no idea what’s happening even in France,
Gove was just on GB News talking about pilot no 2 where he hoped that large venues such as sporting events and theatres could go ahead with proof of vaccination or a negative test. Gove in particular seems wedded to the idea of a vaccination passport (digital ID).
If anyone ever needed an exemplar for the concept of fundamentally dishonest politicians posing as what they aren’t in order to gain votes, Gove’s long, successful self-promotion as a “libertarian-inclined conservative” would serve well. Alongside, of course, the archetypal Blair performance as a supposed human being.
I think he’s a player. I’m not sure which other MPs are. Jeremy Hunt I think. He’s been all over PCR testing which is definitely fraudulent & he’s too bright not to know that.
But is he?
Is he really ‘too bright’?
Could just be down to lighting, or the sun reflecting off his natural oiliness.
I think understanding that example is really crucial as it also confirms your ‘it’s all lies in the name of a most sinister true motive’ conclusion.
Us sceptics have done our research from early on and then we tried to get our new info to the decisionmakers/influencers in the (with hindsight naive) belief that they wouldn’t know it yet, would appreciate and discuss it and do something about it to arrive at a better solution.
But the PCR test’s flaws were so obvious to everyone by June last year, and still nothing was ever done about any of them.
To me, that’s been the eye-opener.
Your Government has been lying to you from the outset.They do not care about your health and well being. These politicians are just useful idiots for their real masters the Luciferians of the W.E.F. and U.N.
This Covid shitfuckery was planned ten years ago and outlined in the Rockerfeller Foundation Paper published in 2010 That predicted how a pandemic can be used as an excuse to establish global authoritarian power. Read it here.
All lockdown sceptics should read Laura Dodsworths STATE OF FEAR! How the Government used Science of Psychology to Delude Us. Watch Ivor Cummins interview with Laura Here.
Yes, I know.
By the way, it goes back a lot further than 2010. 1993 at minimum, with the first tabletop simulation of a biotech attack on mainland USA. That’s what stopped the post Cold War becoming a peace dividend. Look, a new foe!
If you want a precursor – look at the Council of Europe report on Swine ‘Flu.
Well summarised. I couldn’t agree more.
“What justifies a lockdown?”
Only necessity can justify lockdown, because locking adults down is inherently immoral, similar (but at a lesser level) to killing people. You can only legitimately kill in necessary defence (leaving aside debates over capital punishment).
But necessity is notoriously open to subjective interpretation and therefore abuse. Combined with manipulation of opinion and propaganda, it can easily be, and often is, used cynically to allow the powerful to get away with the immoral. Consider most wars.
Imo, therefore, we arrive at the following for lockdown (and indeed any coercive mass public health measures):
1 Lockdown and other coercive emergency measures should be allowed only for a disease that genuinely threatens the existence of the society exposed to it (meaning in practice that it genuinely threatens breakdown of basic infrastructure and organisation – NOT merely to make the health services very busy for a while).
Something, as I have noted before, with the lethality of ebola and the spreading potential of a new respiratory virus.
However, modern societies have never encountered such a disease, and arguably we never will, because modern global mixing (at least as long as the zero covid type fascists are not allowed to shut it down) ensures that there are no huge isolated groups. But the risk of harm from interested parties spreading manipulative propaganda to try to pretend such a disease is imminent is very real, and so high as to be almost certain to occur (as we are currently seeing). Therefore:
2 The use of lockdown (and any mass coercive or manipulative health measures) should be outright banned, and the concept demonised to make it as hard as possible to get away with it.
We can be confident that if any such disease were to arise, such a ban would be quickly overturned anyway.
And in practice, as we have seen, human societies respond voluntarily and very efficiently to perceived disease threats. Such responses, furthermore, are inherently flexible, allowing people to tailor their response to their personal circumstances, and to change very rapidly indeed. Making them far less damaging and far more rapidly responsive to changing circumstances.
Better, in other words.
So just ban lockdowns.
Exhortation, yes. Manipulation or coercion, no.
Lockdown ironically doesn’t even work to slow transmission.
That’s why it’s such an easy lie to spot.
Even if they initially believed it, by this time last year there were numerous peer reviewed journal articles showing it doesn’t work.
I’m the only person who’s shown why not, and it’s because of another lie, that of asymptomatic transmission.
Given an infectious source must be symptomatic, ie ill, transmission could never have been great in the ambulatory community. You notice sick people & avoid them.
Transmission mostly happens where infectious & susceptible people are forced into proximity, which is in institutions. Virtually nowhere else,
Hence lockdown only destroys the economy & civil society.
But even now, most appear not to have deduced what I have just by thinking about it.
Surprising, no?
I’m prepared to believe it, but most aren’t.
Regardless, we end up in the same place – ban lockdowns.
We want that, sure. But almost everyone else thinks they’re a necessary evil.
Indeed. It’s one area where political push might get traction, though. Especially as there are wealthy people and corps that have suffered from lockdowns and might be willing to fund it.
In hospital recently I refused a PCR test which a cardiologist wanted me to have. I advised him I didn’t need one because I was not in hospital on the grounds of suspected C1984 funnily enough and anyway had no symptoms.
Said cardiologist said I might not be aware I was poorly. I started a discussion about the implausibility of Asymptomatic transmission as explained by Dr Yeadon.
The cardiologist walked away stating:
“I am not prepared to enter into a debate on the subject.”
Give out ivermectin to everyone as a preventative and open the country up. This is ridiculous.
Ivermectin? Don’t you know that’s toxic and it doesn’t work?
I mean, Merck wouldn’t have criticised their own drug, would they?
What are you, a conspiracy theorist?
Nothing justifies a lock down. If the disease is mild and limited, like WuFlu, there is no reason to lock down. If the disease is truly deadly, people will limit their exposure out of pure self preservation. Again, no reason to lock down.
By the way, the small number of people who’ve spotted that this is a ghastly crime have come up with an excuse for it. I’ve heard this half a dozen times:
“We’re overpopulating the world & destroying the environment. I can understand why this is necessary & it can’t be done democratically”.
Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!
No. That’s all a bloody lie, too!
Climate change science has been subject to the same censorship & dogpiling as covid science.
and as Tom Naughton has said: “never in history have the people who silence opposing ideas turned out to be the good guys”
“never in history have the people who silence opposing ideas turned out to be the good guys”
Then if Tom Naughton is going to make such a ringing declaration, he needs to address the elephant in the free speech room that is racism/antiracism.
Racism, and opinions smeared as “racism”, were (and are) actively demonised and suppressed in this country for decades by antiracists and their fellow travellers.
Is Naughton prepared to declare then that the antiracists were the bad guys? That those who supported it out of good intentions were deluded and manipulated into serving the bad guys’ interests? If so, he would be correct, imo but in a tiny minority. Not because all racism is correct (though clearly some of the things demonised as racism have been correct), and not because some racism is not extremely unpleasant or even arguably evil, but because the smear term “racist” was used (and is being used still) to manipulate society in ways that in many cases were and are extremely harmful.
Racism is a belief. The Koreans believe they are the purest race in the world (with some justification) and that this makes them better than everyone else (with less justification). It doesn’t stop them working with non-Koreans respectfully. (Our company is in a joint venture with Hyundai-Rotem).
Sincerely held beliefs are rarely a problem. It’s when people pretend to believe something that they don’t actually believe that they can get aggressive. That is where anti-racists live.
Yes. More broadly, there are a whole set of beliefs and opinions that people classify as “racist”.
The point being that suppression of “racism” is the suppression of opinion or of speech, no different from any other suppression of beliefs or opinions, and any statement that applies universally to that practice, applies to it.
We in the societies of the US sphere in particular have been systematically indoctrinated in a false dogma that “racism” is categorically different – something inherently evil to which the usual arguments about opinions and freedom of speech cannot be allowed to apply. This is a dangerous and harmful situation.
“Sincerely held beliefs are rarely a problem. It’s when people pretend to believe something that they don’t actually believe that they can get aggressive. That is where anti-racists live.”
Ironically, considering the methods used to demonise “racism”, the real issues are hatred and intolerance. These have been far more inherent to antiracism than to racism, in our societies, certainly in recent decades.
Those posting on this site already realise that this is a scam. Incredibly, vast numbers of the rest of society don’t. I was at a garden party last weekend (wearing my UK Column t-shirt) and nobody really understood that this was a scam, a money heist, and power grab by psychopaths.
Agreed. I attended a lockdown sceptics event. I doubt more than 10% if that realise it’s depopulation or at minimum loss of human freedoms forever.
Seriously. These are people who tell me that I’m a hero & they worship me.
Most of them still give those organising this the benefit of the doubt.
will no one rid us of this turbulent prime minister
Imperial College is funded by the Gates Foundation, a foundation committed to vaccines led by a man who is obsessed with new vaccine/injection technology. Gates also funds many media outlets, is the second largest funder of the WHO after the US. His tentacles are everywhere, the influence of this man is unprecedented – it is a wonder he was not at the G7. Why is no-one asking questions about this, what is really going on here? Many of us know it can no longer be about the virus.
Lots of people ask questions but he owns the media & funds all the universities.
He’ll never be exposed.
His organisation funded sterilising vaccines in East Africa & India. When discovered they were booted out for a while.
Despite this history, money got them back in to the same places.
The Kenyan doctor who uncovered this scandal was recently found dead (just months ago). I’ve got him on video, his voice dripping with contempt for Gates, who he openly accused.
See? Got away with it,
No one will report bad things about him.
His dad & Boris’ dad are long time Eugenicists.
Imagine growing up in those households and becoming people with almost unlimited power & no one telling you how evil your thoughts are?
I expect they’ve been introduced to Jacques Attali, who’s advised French Presidents forever, is also a well known depopulation fan. He’s still advising Macron.
This goes back to the Club of Rome & the Bilderberg group. I imagine an agenda item every year is whether a successful run at this can be accomplished or not.
The internet & free services have been a critical enabler, as are all the social media platforms.
Advances in genetic engineering is another enabler & CRISP-R has massively leapt forward last decade, with unprecedented venture financial flows which have astonished all of us,
I couldn’t see the market being great enough to have warranted it, and I was right, it’s not about therapeutics but tissue targeting of gene sequences with timers on them.
It’s easy to design a probe to cause renal failure in a year, or to trigger heart failure soon. Or a disabling metabolic illness etc.
Triggers can be designed which amplify one another. Lots of transgenic animal models like that. It’s shockingly easy to do the last steps, with plausible deniability.

There is a pyramid from the bottom up
Vanguard and Blackrock are slowly owning the world.
Mercola is definitely worth reading. You know a website is good when it is censored and banned for telling the truth.
Although genocide is not new, most people find it too hard to reconcile with the fact that it could happen to them and block it out. Same with death, if it saves one life, if you don’t vax you’ll die, if you do you won’t die, forever homes etc, its all mind games to convince yourself its not going to happen.
James Corbett is meticulous in documenting this the history of these oligarch eugenicists

Thanks, very interesting
Also funded the Blair Foundation, endorsed on the website, Blair, committed to ID
So far, everything Sage has done has cost lives, that is a fact, the vague predictions and data that they have saved lives can never be proved. Apparently, Johnson has never been naffed to do his own research, therefore can be told anything
True. Which was and is their exact and sole mission: reduce the average life expectancy of the plebs, to save the climate, pensions, the NHS and the banks.
Nice try Will, but you cannot analyze and rationalize a hoax.
Their statements are simply not worth bothering with and dissecting anymore.
They are following a totally different agenda and just make things up as needed.
The reason for the delay is that they want to get more irreversible, experimental medical drugs into the population before lifting the lockdown. You are stupid if you submit.
To me it now seems that the vaccines are killing people a bit earlier than expected.
Which is why they have to speed up their efforts to reduce the control group.
Boris hasn’t got the strength of character to do anything. He must know that his actions have firstly accepted making Northern Ireland part of the EU rather than the UK, even though he promised NI politicians that he wouldn’t. That action removes any credibility in the word Unionist from his party’s title. Although this may have been accepted by his predecessor, it was dishonest and dishonourable Johnson who signed his acceptance of it. What was wrong with a no deal Brexit? We would be in a far better position now if Boris hadn’t bottled it.
Now he is the puppet front-man for the SAGE committee, which contains some left wing activists and scientists of unbalanced views in the context of the number of fellow scientists with alternative and better opinions of the actions that should be taken against the virus. The problem is the government has suppressed these alternative views and some scientists are afraid to express them for fear of censure or cancelling by the main internet information platforms.
We were sold the first lockdown by the need to prevent the NHS from being over-run and most people including me accepted that. There is no justification for it now. Some members of the SAGE committee believe the claimed effect of lockdowns by the Chinese government, but why anybody should believe anything from that source is surely beyond anyone with a single brain cell. Our current data is far better than any of the predictions of hopeless modelling from all the sources that the government are influenced by and after so many inaccurate numbers from all of them and in particular Imperial, why are the government responses controlled by this?
And then there are the current and future variants, which are common issues with all viruses, but so far they have all been seriously diminished in effect by the vaccines. After a fairly long period of spread of the latest Indian version, although increasing positive tests, and relatively small numbers of localised hospital admissions, it seems to be fading. Why are government decisions being made on the basis of the next thing that might befall us? Perish the thought, but we might get an outbreak of bubonic plague, but we can’t legislate for that before it happens, so why are we assuming we can for some future Covi-19 variant.
There is in addition to suppression of contrary views the massive scare propaganda campaign the government have been using millions of our taxes to propagate. Unfortunately, too many naive people have taken this as gospel, despite the inaccurate and or biased propaganda content. These restrictive and scare tactics are the hallmark of totalitarian governments throughout the world, and what this Tory government has become. I just hope by the time we get the chance to vote them out, a viable alternative party can be formed, otherwise I will have nothing to vote for. Despite being a committed Conservative supporter all my life the current Tories have destroyed our freedoms, removed Northern Ireland from the union and become nothing that the Conservative an Unionist party once stood for.
Yes, another thing Johnson is not. He’s not conservative, he’s not honest, he’s not a leader and he’s not unionist.
[Just stop pandering to his self-marketing by calling him Boris. His name is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. Johnson, for short (unless in a context where more robust language is appropriate)]
Johnson is a Blairite, Cameron was a Blairite, May was a Blairite. The Blair policies didnt stop when Blair went.
Correct.
No. They are all just members of the same neoliberal gang. It didn’t start with Blair.
Can believe that, Blair came from somewhere.
You are missing the point: this is NOT domestic, political cock-ups and mismanagement this is a globalist elite take-over which has depopulation at its core.
Bozo and his degenerate genocidalist henchmen are acting under orders and to think otherwise is naiive in the extreme.
This winter doesn’t bear imagining.
One criterion confirms the fictional nature of this narrative :
“What would normally happen to an individual doing a critical job who had made as many sequential and catastrophically wrong judgments as Whitty, Vallance and the rest of the SAGE crew?”
I think P45s would have been on their plates a while back.
Why should anything Johnson says be seen as reassuring? Even slightly reassuring? The man is a champion liar.
Ivermectin. How can we all know about this and the useless idiots leading us not?
Because they do know, and this has nothing to do with a virus.
Amen.
Same on the collateral damage of lockdowns, low IFR, PCR test flaws, masks uselessness and danger, the fomite nonsense, the spike protein causing the vascular problems, the vaccines causing the variants, the HIT BS and so on.
They always were and are fully aware of all this.
im worn out fed up fucked up and far from home why is anybody even in discussion on the finer points of blatant fucking lies, Mr okdoomer is the man with the plan.
There is a fucksite more at stake than i think many realise, they are coming for most of us its not hidden its well documented the plans the maggots have for us.

A new study on Years of Life Lost through lockdowns etc. from Switzerland with many links in English.
A disaster.
Unless you are into depopulation, then, it’s a triumph.
The latter also explains the silence of the left, church and ethics profession on 3rd World deaths.
Expecting the new variant announcement in about 14 days… It will be even MORE transmissible and even MORE dangerous than the “Delta” b.s., guaranteed!
