Collateral Global Launches Crowdfunder to Pay For Independent Research

by Toby Young
12 September 2021 5:23 PM

Collateral Global, a newly formed U.K.-based charity dedicated to researching, understanding, and communicating the effectiveness and collateral damage of the lockdowns and associated restrictions, has launched a crowdfunder to help pay for its research.

Collateral Global is already funded entirely by public and charitable sector donations, conferring an independence which the organisation believes is vital to conducting high-quality, unbiased research. The pioneering research programme will require a full-time commitment from a highly qualified team, whose work will be made possible through Collateral Global’s crowdfunding efforts.

Key questions to be addressed by the research programme will include:

• Were the assumptions behind the response to the pandemic correct?
• Was the response proportionate?
• How effective have the responses been in achieving their objectives?
• What have the costs and knock-on effects been across the world?

The funds raised from this campaign will be spent directly on research by academics and professionals from across the world.

Carl Heneghan, Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University and advisor to Collateral Global, said: “Projects like Collateral Global will not receive funding from traditional research councils, which are looking to make discoveries. Collateral Global is seeking to create understanding, collate evidence and understand the wider impacts of the restrictions.”

Alex Caccia, Collateral Global CEO, who anticipates the research programme will take several years, commented: “Everyone across the world has been impacted by the pandemic, and by the global response; now is the time to analyse and understand so that we can make sense of what has happened and ensure that future responses are informed by this understanding.”

The first research paper published on the charity’s website covered the impact of the lockdown measures on cancer treatment. Future studies will cover diabetes, children’s mental health and elderly care.

I can tell you when they will “vaccinate” my children. Never.

When the roadmap was unveiled, I had no doubt that “something” would come up which would push back all the dates – the roadmap was never intended to be adhered to, it was just another carrot to dangle in front of the masses to ensure continued compliance. But it’s just another frog-boiling exercise – it’s happened time and time again over the past year, and will continue to do so until we put a stop to it. “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice…”, etc.When will people wake up to what’s really happening?!

Precisely, RickH – I’m astonished at people’s apparent gullibility! I can only assume that people just can’t even contemplate the alternative narrative that the government may not be acting in our best interests, so it’s preferable to swallow the lies and trust that it’ll all be over soon….

When the roadmap was unveiled I predicted it would be the mass testing of children that would be used to block the lifting of lockdown. I still think they will use the false positives generated from this in synchrony with the claimed shortages of ‘vaccine’, and I believe it will lead to them ultimately not lifting lockdown at all because we’ll miss the summer and will be due to go back into flu season.

“The standard for testing and monitoring of vaccines is higher than it is for most other medicines, because they are one of the few medical treatments given to healthy people (mainly healthy children). This means that the level of acceptable risk is much lower than it might be for a cancer treatment, for example. It can take many years for a vaccine to pass through all the stages described below. In the case of the MenB vaccine, for example, it took 15 years from the first idea to the vaccine being licensed for use.”

Amazing we’ve compressed 15 years into 6 months!

Imagine how many lives would have been saved if they’d compressed the 15 years development of the MenB vaccine into 6 months ‘with no loss of safety’

Of course – the balance of risk for cancer treatments is entirely different! Doh!

“no one can have had any idea how effective the vaccination programme would be.”

The latest mythology strikes. But freedom doesn’t.

Well … who would have thought it, hand on cock?

I have yet to see any evidence the vaccine program, lockdown, masks and large scale testing have worked

“If full vaccination becomes required for holidays abroad or even more mundane things like going to the cinema, millions of younger people may end up being excluded from participating for the whole summer.”

See how the media (including LS) are weaselling away while perpetually normalising the idea of a ‘vaccine passport’? And the dumb public still don’t see it.

So they expect over 60s to be in restaurants and swimming pools come July while telling young healthy people they can’t?
