Compared to the other U.K. nations, Scotland’s third wave of infections appears to be more advanced. On June 22nd, 3,253 cases were recorded (going by date of specimen) which is the highest daily total since the start of mass testing. See the chart below, taken from the government’s COVID-19 dashboard:
However, as even Nicola Sturgeon has acknowledged, “Most cases are now in younger, yet to be vaccinated groups, so fewer are becoming v ill.” In fact, the recent surge appears to be related to Euro 2020.
A dramatic gender gap has opened up in the last two weeks, with men aged 15–44 substantially more likely to test positive than their female counterparts. The BBC quotes behavioural scientist Stephen Reicher as saying “the obvious explanation is that people were getting together for the football”.
Compare the chart above with the one below, which shows the number of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19:
The first time there were over 3,000 cases recorded in a single day, on 29th December, the number of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 was 153. Yet on 22nd June, the number was only 35 (roughly four and a half times lower).
As Fraser Nelson noted in a tweet yesterday, the number of hospitalisations per 1,000 cases 10 days earlier (for the whole of the U.K.) has been trending downward for the past four months. At the end of February, the number was about 100. It has since fallen to less than 30.
‘Deaths within 28 days of a positive test’ tells the same story as hospitalisations. There were 26 on December 29th, compared to only four on June 22nd. But of course, this measure has tended to overstate the lethality of COVID-19 since the end of the first wave.
If we look at age-adjusted excess mortality, then even Scotland’s second wave of infections didn’t translate into a large number of deaths. (Unfortunately, data are only available up to February 12th.) The age-standardised mortality rate rose above the baseline for several successive weeks, but not to anywhere near the same extent as in the first wave.
And given that approximately 80% of Scottish adults now have COVID-19 antibodies, which confer a high degree of protection from serious illness or death, we’re very unlikely to see a repeat of last spring’s mortality numbers.

Not more irrelevant ‘infections’ – i.e random bits of RNA!
“Third wave” FFS – stop just repeating this unanalysed nonsense for the brainwashed.
The whole cases=infections is getting really old now. Most with half a braincell on active duty know this continuing spin is just a complete crock.
DELTA variant hysteria exposes the sobering truth: Covid vaccines don’t work, and “variants” are pushed as scare stories to demand more vaccines, mask mandates and destructive lockdowns

Once again “cases” is shown to be a meaningless indicator.
Everything will be meaningless in a fake pandemic.
I’ll keep repeating the truth, there are no infections! Only false positive test results.
There are no infections of SARS-COV-2 because its never been shown to exist. Its a computer model, using genome sequencing with the “test” looking for parts of the genome as pubished by the WHO. The CDC even admits its never been isolated and many lab scientists have come out to say they havent found it…they did find influenza A, B in “positive sars-cov-2” samples though.
It’s a scamdemic.
Is there an up to date statement from the CDC that is hasn’t been isolated? I’m still using an old video stating that the Irish Government doesn’t know of any evidence that it had been.

What a bag of shite.
Sorry, it’s hard to bother finessing the commentary these days. Just read below the line on the Savage Jabber story and you’ll see what I mean.
Does anyone have access to decent amount of data for Scotland?
In today’s vaccine sales pitch briefing (https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-scotland-57652043) the wee dictator seems really keen to compare hospitalisation rate between January and now on basis that this proves ‘vaccines’ are best thing ever.
Can someone do a comparison between June 20 & June 21 to prove that this is another example of selective use of statistics to prove what you are trying to prove ie rate now similar to last June with no vaxx?
One of the graphs above would appear to show very low rates for June 20.
Only reliable data is number of deaths, on the registers of Scotland. Interestingly, for some of the northern isles, 2021 showed double the death rate in the first 10 weeks of the year than over the same period in 2020. I rather suspect the jab took them out, as there is a fair proportion of elderly folk. The psyop is so successful that the ferry employees are scared to take fares, even though seafaring must be up there with dangerous occupations, especially in a force 6 or 7.
This is hardly worse than the flu for anyone under 60. We have never mass tested healthy well people carrying flu before and published a daily ‘scare figure’. They need to stop this nonsense now.

THIRD WAVE why do I even come here?
Same as the rest of us, to have a rant that even this site has surrendered to the narrative.
Were any of these people actually Ill? Presumably when they say infection they mean (false) positive debunked PCR tests. Why are people taking these stupid tests in the first place?This is just the usual fear mongering bollocks from a fascist Government wanting to keep the gullible under their thumb. It’s pathetic STOP IT!
This is exactly it – stop the testing and this instantly goes away…
If the figures are true, they’ve shot themselves in the foot. If it’s not that hazardous, why lock down at all? Let real people look after themselves, most of the time.
Statements of fact with time limit for taking notice WRITTEN BY STEFAN LANKA
Dear Mr {Frankfurt Health Dept. Chief}
Date
21 April 2021
all virologists – not only at Corona – have refuted themselves by their own statements on seven cen- tral points. See: Stefan Lanka: The perpetrators of the Corona crisis have been clearly identified. Virologists who claim disease-causing viruses are scientific frauds and should be prosecuted. Article in the magazine WissenschafftPlus 4/2020. Available via wplus-verlag.de or free on the internet at: https://wissenschaftplus.de under “Important texts”.
The quickest and easiest fact for you to check and establish, which you will come to in your research, is the unequivocal proof of the anti-scientific nature of ALL virologists. It is the written duty of every scientist to constantly question himself and others, to doubt everything. Nevertheless, virologists have never carried out or published the compulsory prescribed control experiments to verify their methods, not for a single step of their actions. Therefore, no statements made by virologists may be considered scientific.
All Corona measures are based on the Infection Protection Act (IfSG) and are justified by it – but only if the law (sic!) is fulfilled. §1 of the IfSG subjects all participants to scientific knowledge. Since this required scientificity as a prerequisite for the corona measures is not given AND the statements of the virologists are clearly refuted, all corona measures lose their validity and justification. More than that, all Corona measures have become illegal by the establishment of these facts.
I now ask you to check these statements of fact for yourself and on the basis of the two authoritative publications on the Corona virus: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2008-03.pdf and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31978945/. In the first-mentioned publication, the first mental/computational construction of the genome of SARS-CoV-2 is described. This calculated genome became the exclusive template for all subsequent constructions, in which only what was given in this work was repeated. This work was published on- line only on 03.02.2020, which gives the impression that the second above-mentioned work on this, which was published earlier, was apparently created independently of each other. This is not the case: the gene sequence thought/calculated in this first paper was published in advance on 10.01.2020 in the
e-Mail: 21 April 2021 Page 2
Internet and thus became the model and template for what SARS-CoV-2 is supposed to be. The second “scientific” publication on the new corona virus confirms the mental/computational construction of the viral genome and supplements it with electron microscope images of the “virus”. It was published online in advance on 24.01.2020.
Your scientifically trained and tested specialists will need little time to check these fact-namings immediately. (If you want to see more publications in this direction, you will find them s.a.: free on the internet at: https://wissenschaftplus.de).
I hereby call upon you to inform all your employees about the facts that have been established, so that no employee can claim that he or she did not know anything publicly withdraw all Corona measures and stop testing and especially vaccinating immediately
confirm to me in writing the correctness of the established facts and the resulting exemption from all Corona measures – because their assumed scientific justification has clearly ceased to exist – within 10 days after receipt of this letter.
furthermore, inform the responsible public order office of the discontinuation of all Corona measures and obligations.
You will understand that for me personally, with immediate effect, as of this letter, all Corona measures no longer apply, may apply and can apply. Non-compliance with the deadline on your part will be taken by me as proof of the correctness of the statements I have made and can only mean immediate release from all Corona measures. As a precaution, you can inform your scientifically comprehensively trained specialists that I reserve the right to file a complaint with the police for abuse of office, interference with the fundamental rights of education, freedom, property, dignity, the right to life and physical integrity.

It’s very long article but necessarily so as it shows how and why country by country unnatural spikes of deaths occurred.
It describes the treatment programs both national (eg.RECOVERY UK) and international (WHO SOLIDARITY) implemented almost worldwide. This article exactly confirms Denis Rancourts earlier claims All-cause mortality during COVID-19: No plague and a likely signature of mass homicide by government response June 2020 and those of this article.
The Germany ‘did well’ phenomenon is explained by the fact that they did not adhere to WHO Solidarity recommendations on aggressive multiple drug treatment (overdoses) for patients presenting with acute respiratory diseases, like most other countries.
Many of national drug treatment programs are described and dates of implementation of programs correlate with the morality data country by country, as well as anomalies and incompetences, such as the co leader of the UK Recovery confusing HCQ with another similarly named drug.
There is a great deal of information about HCQ which explains much of the misinformation that the MSM, politicians and governments have spread about it.
Summary of conclusions : New protocols for the treatment of acute respiratory diseases using cocktails of drugs in dangerous doses, introduced by governments in 2020 on the advice of the WHO were responsible for the so-called ‘covid’ deaths.
Stop calling them ‘cases’. This, of all websites, website should know better.
If only!
