There follows a guest post by Dr. Mark Shaw, a retired dentist and regular contributor to the Daily Sceptic, who says the Government’s handling of the pandemic has lost all sight of what honesty and fair play mean.
In my last post I mentioned how important sport is to me. From a young age it was becoming easier to see, through sport, what was right and wrong, fair or unfair. The rules of the game instilled moral lessons that would help me decide who I could trust – win or lose. Playing fair in competition brings to mind the words of Shakespeare: “This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”
But there are many ways rules can be bent and players, whether professional or amateur, exploit this. I’ve been guilty of it myself.
In the game of squash there are many instances where one might not be sure that a particular shot is strictly within the rules – and, if unsure, it seems reasonable to allow the game to play on. If present, a referee can decide on it. Sometimes players know that their shot or position is not within the rules but might see that the opponent or referee missed it. I might question an opponent after such an incident and I remember the ones that called this ‘gamesmanship’. But if a competitor does this repeatedly he or she gets a reputation, loses integrity and becomes known for cheating.
These particular aspects of sporting rules can reflect life. Gamesmanship isn’t sport and it is not fair. The moment we suspect foul play we should own up immediately. The gamesmanship element is then removed and that can give all involved mutual respect, the feeling of a greater good, and that it’s only a game. But I’ve learnt that this doesn’t always happen so have to ask what, when given the chance, did someone omit to say or do more than what he or she did actually say or do.
Looking at the way Covid has been handled by the Government I ask whether they have played fair or whether they have used gamesmanship to achieve their goals and whether the actual rules themselves were clean.
What have the Government and those in the media not said or done? Have they allowed full debate on focused protection and provided full unbiased, uncoercive, transparent information on issues such as masks, lockdowns, testing, the vaccination of healthy individuals and the efficacy and safety of these vaccines? Were any lockdown sceptic or vaccine sceptic journalists allowed to ask questions at any of the daily Government press briefings.
Panda has compiled a damning list of studies and statistical analyses that have been not been given fair coverage by most news outlets. Even the U.K. statistics watchdog criticised the Government for hiding Covid data on more than one occasion.
With respect to the vaccines, it’s clear that the Government and most media have not been providing accurate information that the public have a right to know. For instance, Public Health England has yet to provide full data on vaccines to anyone outside a select few, so it is not possible to conduct full independent analyses of safety and efficacy. The ZOE Covid Study, which receives Government funding, suddenly changed its methodology in July in a way that appears to fit more closely to the Government narrative.
If a cheat is in a position of power then another ploy to circumvent the previously established rules is to change them and/or replace the referee. So:
- Instead of recording deaths due to Covid they can now be classed as deaths with Covid, with all kinds of deaths from other primary causes chalked up to the virus;
- If cases (in the clinical sense) had always been referred to as those people with symptoms (patients) they can now change the definition to include anyone ‘testing positive’. The rules have very significantly and conveniently been altered;
- Emergency Covid legislation can be brought in to change the law (the referee) and, when these powers are enforced, the rules may not be equal for all teams. One rule for some and another rule for others?
Let’s not beat about the bush – all this is cheating!
We are all familiar with drugs and sport. Who can forget when Ben Johnson was disqualified from the 1988 Olympics or when Lance Armstrong was exposed? People I had once hugely respected, now disgraced. The more that is at stake the greater the obfuscation, the more professional the set-up and the larger the web so whole teams can become involved. As much as it meant everything to win they had forgotten that it shouldn’t have been the be-all and end-all. Life is hugely devalued unless lived fairly. Drugs never needed to be the way for these supremely talented fit young men.
For the majority of the public wondering about Covid vaccines for healthy children and boosters for adults they could do with asking, as is consistent with properly informed consent, whether these drugs are unnecessary for a disease that kills outright such a tiny fraction of the non-elderly and non-vulnerable in our society. Once you have also scrutinised the data regarding vaccine efficacy and safety, weighed up the pros and cons and questioned why the Government and much of the media have hidden so much scientific research and consistently failed on their promises, you may also question whether they have indulged in gamesmanship, acted with integrity and can be fully trusted?
The be-all and end-all of life isn’t just for the individual number or record of years lived – it’s for society as a whole to live fair and square, however long or short each single life turns out to be.

We are still waiting for answers (well, the questions even being asked) to the most obvious, logical, common sense questions everyone seems afraid (bought off) to ask.
“… we are heading for vaccines that reduce severity of illness rather than protect against infection, provide only short lived immunity, and will at best have been trialled by the manufacturer against placebo. As well as damaging public confidence and wasting global resources by distributing a poorly effective vaccine, this could change what we understand a vaccine to be. Instead of long term, effective disease prevention it could become a suboptimal chronic treatment. This would be good for business but bad for global public health.”
BMJ Editor Fiona Godlee 20 August 2020
https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3258
They are not vaccines. There is good evidence they contain chromium, iron and nickel. None of these elements should be in these injections, notr are they declared on the insert sheet, nor were they declared to the vaccine regulatory agencies.
Ms Godlee and the BMJ wake the f… up.
This is a criminal conspiracy, and if the BMJ cannot act on the evidence coming to light, it is implicated in this crime against humanity.
Belated reply, contamination of these three metals could be from stainless steel manufacturing equipment. See also the Japanese recalls of batches of Moderna vaccine a few weeks ago because of contamination.
I’ve no idea how often this happens. But please don’t claim a conspiracy before checking for a cockup as the latter are quite common.
Yep. And the Moderna CEO just confirmed that today. https://populist.press/moderna-ceo-just-released-devastating-news-about-vaccination/
Devastating for the people, in particular the few sane ones remaining, not for him and his lot, of course.
The real question now is: (Why) Will we let him get his way and his wet dream fulfilled?!
Placebo is often not plain water or saline as it should be. It may be another vaccine or other substance with its own adverse reactions, which make the adverse reactions of the tested chemical less obviously different or more common.
I would like to encourage everyone to look at this link, to the conference with Viviane Fisher from the Corona Committee.
https://odysee.com/@en:a5/PK_Tot-durch-Impfung_english:a
from 1.19
It is long, and has a difficult translation to follow which has put many people off, I am sure. However it needs publicising and sharing as it is a game-changer.
This is a special conference led by Vivaine Fisher from the Corona Committee.
It goes into proper medical detail on what is in these “vaccines” There are slides which show metallic objects moving in the “vaccines” It suggests to me that the “mad” theories about transhumanism could have merit, as some of these objects are clearly engineered nanobot type objects.
The part on the vaccine contents starts at about 1.19.
There is a good presentation from a German surgeon who is working with a group of international doctors to investigate and publicise this.
Much of the conference is hard to follow because of the translation, which is hurried out, due to the importance and urgency of getting this information out as soon as possible, given the need to protect children from being experimented on with these deadly injections.
Please share and publicise.
Things could change quickly. There is clear evidence now that these so-called vaccines are adulterated with nanoparticles of a very strange and malign nature.
The film and slides make this evident.
No politician or security operative watching this thread who wants to escape from this catastrophe with any credibility can remain taking orders from these genocidal maniacs who want to shove this stuff into us and our children.
The narrative cannot continue much longer. The editors had better decide what side of history they want to be on.
Seriously things have reached a crisis point. With the evidence in front of us of clear criminal intent there is no way anyone can now allow the vax deployment to children.
There is film from a surgeon who is part of a medical team investigating this. There are strange mechanised shapes that look like little aeroplanes or engines moving independently about in the vaccines. There are what look like graphene oxide strands.
The medical team also used controls in the form of conventional vaccines. No normal vaccine contains these synthetic objects. The reflective and synthetic ingredients are there for some other purpose and must come from military technology.
This is no “vaccine” against a pathogen, but an attempt to inject some kind of tracking device or God knows what into people on the pretext of a health emergency.
Anyone who complies with those carrying out this criminal conspiracy from now on is complicit in a crime against humanity.
Once the public wake up to what has been attempted here the consequences for all involved will be terrible.
Heard of paragraphs?
Just make the effort.
Alea – Do One!
It’s just another one of Kate’s cut and paste jobs without any effort to criticise or analyse and therefore should be ignored.

The long term risk is and will remain for at least a decade the biggest elephant in the room.
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature must have realized this immediately.
I always thought Brits and Jews in particular were quite good at maths, betting and probabilities, but man was I wrong.
It (all and only) makes sense if and once you swallowed the red pill, Doc.
I have questioned the narrative and responses from day 1.
The cost/benefit and collateral damage of lockdowns was so obviously negative and huge, that only a total moron or a most evil person c/would have pursued that course- that most Western governments then did it in unison only raised more suspicions in me.
The initial reasoning ‘prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed’ has now been completely lead absurdum by the recent German hospital and ICU occupation with Covid patients data (1.9%/3.4%).
Even if you believed in that one at the time, the ridiculous sudden shift of the goalposts to ‘R under 1’ and the enormous crackdown on any dissent, in conjunction with the use of war rhetoric, w/should have opened your eyes soon after- my confirming moment was the refusal of the prestigious FAZ to accept an ad by 4 renowned Professors suggesting a different course of action with the expressive published reasoning that they would henceforth only publish the government’s/WHO’s views.
I still researched, delved into infos, data, contradictions etc. (also with the enormous help of LS of course) and, like many here at the time, thought for a while that they are just unaware of all these things and different scientific viewpoints.
The refusal to change anything with regard to testing practices, in particular to refuse their standardization in many regards and in particular with regard to CT values, was such an obvious and egregious issue in light of the by then (June 2020) widely available and disseminated info and criticism of this, that it was crystal clear by then that we are dealing with fraud and a most deliberate, heinous agenda.
And that has been confirmed ever since by practically EACH action and non-action of them.
Well said.
I was a Day 1 suspect too. The stat I recalled to mind was a Bank Holiday costs the UK economy £2.3bn (2012 figures) – how on earth I thought could we afford three weeks of them?! How naive I was.
This should’ve ended the moment it became obvious that we weren’t another Italy and there were enough ventilators to go around.
The immediate red flag for me was the lack of interest in accurately calculating the death rate of ‘Covid’ by using measures which obviously inflated the numbers to ‘with covid’, which is nonsense. A scam , and an open one at that, from the get-go. Only the wilful stupidity of a moronic population made it work so well…
You mention the Government and fair play in the first sentence, then waste 500 words.
The (continued) naiveity of highly educated and very intelligent people was and is the most stunning observation of the whole Covid saga for me.
Mass psychology issues and bad individual character flaws were and are just confirmations.
Fear was – and still is the key, sadly. Learnt from pre war Germany.
Once its there its almost self perpetuating but does need a booster from time to time.
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/denmark-and-sweden-covid-vaccination
Makes sense. WHEN you start to vaccinate makes a difference.
Better do so past peak season.
Sweden/Denmark starting later was a better decision than world beaters UK/Israel start in peak Winter.
Or to sum it up, Boris Johnson PM has been misleading us, and continues to do so, and is fully responsible for this.
Boris Johnson is just a puppet who will sign away all remaining sovereignty in those and as such in practice all regards to the WHO in November.
Personally, whilst I detest him, I do think that Toby might be right in sofar as he genuinely harbored some libertarian instincts before Covid and therefore might have been the driving force behind some comparative easings, like the Mask self-exemption (preventing the nasty culture wars here as seen in Europe and the US), Freedom day and possibly vaxx passports, although I remain convinced that they will come and are the sole point of the whole exercise.
Absolutely.. the vax passports are vital to the control plan. To stay within the system you have to continue to be vaxxed or your green pass turns to red. So all those double jabbed, triple jabbed, or quadruple jabbed are always only a few months away from joining the great unvaxxed. Evil genius!
https://populist.press/moderna-ceo-just-released-devastating-news-about-vaccination/
Yep.
“The CEO of pharmaceutical giant Moderna says that even younger people will have to get vaccine booster shots at least once every three years, meaning that a two-tier society which punishes the unvaccinated could remain in place indefinitely.
Bancel says life will return to normal “in a year,” but that this will be dependent on people continuing to receive regular COVID-19 booster jabs.
The CEO said older and vulnerable people would “undoubtedly” need refresher shots at least once a year, while even younger people who face an infinitesimal chance of dying from the virus will need booster shots every three years
This means that those hoping to ride out the pandemic while remaining unvaccinated, with all freedoms returned next year, may actually face a permanent bio-security police state which keeps them under de facto lockdown forever.”
I’m 100% sure Brexit voters didn’t vote to abandon the sinking EUSSR in order to join the Globalists…
That was a hard read.
In the end he might of said governments might lie.
To paraphrase Father Dougal McGuire, they’re big cheating bastards.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/dr-danice-hertz-injured-pfizer-covid-vaccine/?utm_source=salsa&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=6967978e-9b90-46ff-b59d-f9e5a29a371c
Hertz told The Defender there are thousands of people like her — who have been injured by COVID vaccines — who are suffering and need help, yet they’re ignored by mainstream media and U.S. health agencies. Meanwhile, COVID vaccine mandates are being rolled out for millions of Americans, with barely any discussion of the risks.
With the vaccine business it is hard not to feel that more than gamesmanship and cheating, something sinister and disturbing is going on. A few months ago Government politicians were visiting the Novavax and Valneva sites on Teesside And Livingston and talking enthusiastically about these new vaccines and that they were to be produced in the UK. But move on a few months and both those vaccines have been sidelined and kicked into the long grass, at the same time the image of the Astra-Zeneca potion has become tarnished and our stocks of that vaccine have been shipped overseas.
You may with some justification question whether people under 60 need a vaccine for a respiratory disease at all? But leaving that aside for one moment, we have now based the entire UK vaccine programme on mRNA vaccines (mostly Pfizer, some Moderna). This has not happened by accident or default or chance, this is a deliberate policy that seems aimed at ensuring everyone receives an mRNA injection as if getting mRNA into everybody is more the objective than any sort of disease prevention.
“this is a deliberate policy that seems aimed at ensuring everyone receives an mRNA injection as if getting mRNA into everybody is more the objective than any sort of disease prevention”.
This.. ^^^^^^^ is entirely what its all about. The technology is in the gene therapy and that combined with outside forces (microwaves) is capable of controlling individuals. No this is not tin hat theory, the likes of DARPA et al having been moving towards this for decades. Moderna even admitted their ‘jab’ was >the software of life<.
The UK Government even has pages devoted to ‘Human Augmentation’. These bastards have been creaming themselves over this for aeons.. and now its arrived.. TRANSHUMANISM – ZOMBIES

Great article Will. Everyone loves a sportsperson who is competitive yet still volunteers their own mistakes – snooker players are good at this if they accidentally touch the ball. It’s a bit of give and take and it earns respect. We get none of this humility from the Government or the media do we.
Golf is known and accepted to be ultimate character test in that regard.
No wonder so few British politicians play it, least of all Johnson.
Trump plays and cheats so brazenly that it provides a different kind of information about his character.
‘antithesis of humanitarianism’, is what has happened since the covid debacle began
Slightly off topic and I think it may have been mentioned before.. but..
I wonder.. at a time like this.. when we are ‘supposedly enduring an alleged pandemic’ the UK Government sees fit to build 6 Mega Prisons..
I also wonder.. just who are intended to fill prisons of such massive capacity.. ???
Personally I don’t think it needs a lot of guesswork!

When Zoe changed their methodology to fit in with the government propaganda I stopped reporting.
Me too. As a rare, lol, survivor of covid I signed up but stopped ages ago. Zoe is just another propaganda machine.
Well said Mark. There are too many people who blindly believe what the Government and its slavish advisors and the ignorant and biased media say. This has spread fear and support of non-medical interventions that have caused jobs, businesses and some people’s mental health to be lost forever and illnesses other than covid to be ignored. It has also caused a new normal where It’s now impossible to have a face to face meeting with a GP. This government has caused more damage to our liberty and way of life than any other in recent history. I can’t understand why anyone would ever vote Tory again. I shan’t.
Just want to say what an excellent article this is. I wish I’d read it in the MSM…
It’s a good article but tells the same story with a different metaphor. If we’re to get real, surely we have to agree that the baseline to start from is that Covid isn’t the point, the vaccine itself isn’t the point, even the vaccine passport isn’t the point, or rather the end point, it’s your ID on a central database that’s the goal. Bite your thumb and listen to Tony Blair if you can bear it. Once they have got everyone on that, the virus and probably the vaccine will magically disappear. All will be well. Because then your every movement, your every visit, your every purchase, your every banking transaction, your every communication, your every medical procedure and treatment, your every thought, even your every anticipated thought per algorithmic computation, will be monitored and combined, triggering instructions, activity or direct action as the State deems necessary. Sci-fi paranoia? Hardly. All the pieces are already in place. Activation simply depends on your compliance.
I am not a scientist but then nor are the men making the decisions about how to react to Covid 19. Johnson, Biden and Macron to name but three, have other fish to fry. Cheating, lying and mental decline do not disqualify them for not trying to weigh the pros and cons – of anything.
To revert to the sporting analogies of the article “I was NOT out”, “I did not move my golf ball”, “your shot was definitely well out”.
Politics was ever rather like that but once Covid legislation removes the umpire dictatorship is the result.
Sorry Mark
This isn’t cheating.
It is lying on a scale never before witnessed. Even the Nazis, the Soviets, Donald Trump were really only lying to their country. This charade has been orchestrated worldwide, and every man woman and child on Earth has been manipulated.
The simplest explanation is money. The vast profits to be made from useless vaccines sold to lying cheating politicians, only interested in their re-election. Big Pharma is only interested in the profits.
As a GP, I am exposed regularly to the fraud perpetrated by the pharmaceutical industry. Vioxx or thalidomide, anyone? They get fined billions, but when they make tens of billions profit, that’s just a running cost. Nobody ever goes to jail, even when large numbers of people die.
The same will happen here. They are completely indemnified from any responsibility. The minimum harm here is that the vaccine doesn’t work, everybody gets covid, and we get another endemic upper respiratory infection, which is what Denmark and Singapore seem to have acccepted. The worst case is that the non-vaccines cause a large number of deaths, as well as possible long-term conditions.
Unfortunately, despite the attempts to cover it up, the second scenario, seems to be unfolding as we watch.
I haven’t yet worked out what the politicians are getting out of it, although in UK, the nose in the trough of fake contracts, facilitated by their politician friends, would seem to be a driving factor.
Perhaps the politicians really are as stupid as they seem to be. They are obviously incapable of reading and assessing a growing mountain of evidence that their responses have been moronic, as well as deadly.
