- “The budget is more proof that Britain is turning into an elderly care system with a state attached” – “As many of us pointed out when Sunak introduced the health and social care levy, we were getting not a one-off package to support the NHS in the aftermath of an unexpected disaster but a permanent increase in tax and spending to support an ageing population,” argues Robert Colvile in the Times.

“Let’s Go Brandon” continues to harass the Democrats in the US:
Another ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ rap tops Apple Music chart
And this, I found amusing: rapper Bryson Gray and (Christian conservative) commentator Glenn Beck agreeing that they love “let’s go Brandon” because they don’t like to swear
Glenn Beck: “The silencing of voices is something unlike anything we have ever seen – at least in my lifetime – in America”
Rapper SPEAKS OUT on censored song, Let’s Go Brandon: It’s ‘INSANE’
(Although I’ve never been a rap fan, I did see Ice T’s band Bodycount in Sheffied decades ago and I do remember his song about killing police officers that Gray mentioned – iirc it was called Cop Killer, though I’m not sure now if he played it at the gig. Also the Smoked Pork skit on the Bodycount album. Now if you are going to ban stuff from being performed I’d say that stuff was a long, long way ahead of dissenting raps about the response to a moral panic.)
Also, this “LGB” mashup is very funny:
https://twitter.com/RubinReport/status/1454478855167614984
That’s superb.
Brilliant!
Rap is not for me, music went down (fast) after the sixties, LOL. But anything that gives the liberals a bloody nose is worth supporting.
I’d actually never heard of Dave Chappelle before the other day, watched some of his stuff last night he’s quite funny but still despite his humour a virtual signalling surrender monkey. (anyone thinking it, DON’T, JUST DON’T GO THERE!).
In my more rebellious youth and early adulthood I liked me a bit of heavy metal and a bit of punk. But I usually reinterpreted the lyrics for myself, to aim them in a sightly different direction. Bodycount was an unusual case of a rapper making heavy metal music.
Early ’90s rap was a kind of early BLM before it became establishment, but there were interesting crossovers to issues around freedom of speech and defending gun ownership.

All for the greater reset good.
That ought to warm the cockles of the hearts of all those G7 citizens turfed out of their jobs and their livelihoods for refusing to take these ineffective transfection mRNA/DNA gene therapies. All of which release damaging spike proteins that fail to immunize long-term and which causes havoc across the whole vascular system, organs, blood vessels, and immune systems of the millions of people that because of fear propaganda were nudged to take it.
This against SARS Cov2 the GoF bio-engineered virus that was funded by US tax dollars which most with preventive action [IVERMECTIN] could sail through much like a typical respiratory infection, just ask Joe Rogan.
So do something positive this weekend.
Throw away your TV set… and stop paying the BBC poll tax which feeds you deliberately distorted info…
The truth is out there though not via the MSM
I’ve no idea who Brandon is. Must be an American in-joke so I’m not getting the reference, lol!
Nascar driver who won a race and the interviewer thought the crowd were chanting ‘lets go brandon’, they were saying’ f joe biden!
So why are people still saying “Let’s go Brandon” all over the place? It’s no longer relevant surely…?
They are saying it, of course, as a disguised version of the f word attack on Biden – an attack which will never be irrelevant!
Of course!
Lets go Brandon= Fuck Joe Biden
The MSM journo was interviewing the winning driver Brandon. In the background the crowd were chanting FJB. The interviewer interjected and said something to the effect ‘Oh that’s good they are chanting ‘Lets go Brandon’
It’s about censorship in the MSM
The exploding cigar of MSM censorship!
Well why not just say “Fuck Jo Biden”? I see people mentioning Brandon all over You Tube. Just bloody say what you mean FFS, pussies! Seems a wee bit childish imo. Must be an American thing as it makes zero sense.
In some parts of the world it’s known as humour
Here’s where it started, the original version starts about 1 min in –
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9UjgITXUJ4
It is exactly that – an American in-joke. But it’s politically significant as well as quite amusing. Sadly, we must be alert to the flows of US politics, since they have such strong influences and repercussions here.
Just to add to the explanations given above, if someone says “let’s go Brandon” you can consider it a euphemism for “fuck Joe Biden”.
A lot of Americans, especially Christians and southerners, still have the very strong aversion to swearing (more than just not using it in polite company) that we in our culture mostly lost in the mid-late C20th (you still find it here amongst older and occasionally Christian groups).
Here’s a mainstream report of how it arose:
‘Let’s go, Brandon’: The right’s new anti-Biden chant comes from a NASCAR broadcast where NBC Sports didn’t want to drop an f-bomb
Ah OK, thanks for the clarification. Just thought it weird that adults wouldn’t drop F-bombs, esp when it’s totally justified given the utter fuck-up which is Jo Biden. I guess that’s the “PG” version!lol
Covid
Save lives, let it rip!
Climate
The time is now, if the neoliberal mafia aren’t stopped they will tax those left still alive after covid mitigation measures into submission.
The agenda
Domination & control, all the distractions, divisions & misdirection have one aim, to eliminate the competition, the competition is us, we MUST start pushing back.
“Interviewer: Do you believe that the President mandating a vaccination is a violation of our rights, especially mandating businesses to make their employees get it?”
Senator Rand Paul: “Yes, absolutely. I’m against the vaccine mandates. From a persuasive or voluntary point of view I think if you’re at risk taking the vaccine’s a good idea, but I would never mandate it on you. I think that in a free society you make your own medical decisions….People need to realise also how crazy it is to tell essential workers that we’re going to fire you. So if a third of the doctors quit, a third of the nurses quit, a third of the pilots quit, a third of the air traffic controllers quit, a third of the meat-packers quit – these are realistic numbers – we’re going to have chaos!”
‘We Are Going To Have Chaos’: Rand Paul Warns Against Effects Of Vaccine Mandates
Rand Paul expressing what is pretty much now the mainstream resistance position in the US sphere: no panic, no lockdowns, no mask mandates or vaccine mandates, but the “vaccine” is a legitimate tool for dealing with a real disease in those who feel they need it.
It’s not my ideal position, but it’ll do and it’s probably good politics. And if Paul manages to take down Fauci that, as well as being mere justice, could have all kinds of consequences in terms of shining light into the dark corners and seeing the cockroaches scuttle.
The strategy (Now meat and dairy face climate tax: George Eustice signals his support for levy on foods that contribute to global warming ahead of COP26) is to Tax us into submission.
They tried that on tobacco, alcohol and fuel for decades but, while very profitable, it has not been particularly successful. Probably the way they want it.
All food that you don’t grow yourself ‘contributes to global warming’ when you put the bar low enough. Anything that is factory produced (like all the meat free stuff) has to be high on the list probably higher than meat. It’s just like every other tax, give them an inch and they will take a mile. It’s just another wealth redistribution scheme, from us to them.
I despair at this personal pronoun bullshit. How many transgender people are likely to use “Bernard her/she/hers”? FFS, if someone changes their gender they expect to be treated as their new gender, not put a big red flag next to their name showing they are different. Personal pronouns literally benefit no one. Another solution to a non-existent problem created by pathetic, purposeless, brainless woke morons.
I take the view that as soon as someone tries to impose an unexpected pronoun or form of address on other people for political correctness reasons dressed up as politeness, they lose any right to courtesy. It’s a passive aggressive form of social aggression.
If you want me to respect your gender rights, respect my rights to free speech.
Indeed. Though I don’t expect them to respect my speech (as distinct from free speech rights), I expect them to tolerate it, and the same goes for my view of their gender nonsense.
If gender is a thing, then that’s how I’ll refer to it, thing & it!
Gender is grammatical. Sex is biological.
Gender is a fabrication of the mind, words are what men live by, at least they did when people had values.
When re-logging onto the NHS Mycare patient information portal it asked to specify my sex, gender and sexuality.
From the options offered I selected ‘other’ for the latter two.
If you’d kept going there, you could have had a haiku.
Seems to me that the reply to these student gender fascists should be. ‘My sexuality is nothing to do with you. If you don’t like that perhaps could I suggest that I you don’t wish to engage in a learning environment then you have no place here’.
I find it bizarre the way some companies are encouraging all their staff to put it in their email signatures – in over 99% of cases you can correctly assume the pronouns from the name. If someone is different, fair enough – put it in (that could also apply to names like Rowan which can be either gender) – but why expect everyone else do it it?
The whole she/her and he/him tautology is also odd – nobody is going to be she/him or he/her, are they?
I’d be tempted to state mine as ‘oi’ and ‘you’.
“The Prime Minister may have acknowledged reality and stated that being double vaccinated “doesn’t protect you against catching the disease, and it doesn’t protect you against passing it on” but others appear to remain in denial.
On Sunday I asked whether now that the PM had let the cat out of the bag the media would start reporting properly on the UKHSA data showing higher infection rates in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. It appears the answer is no, at least if the Times‘s Tom Whipple is any indication.”
Like I say, Times muppets! Do these people actually know anything about journalism? Or have they just been well and truly bought? (I know former journalist for The Independent Oliver Wright knows about journalism (see here Big Pharma lobbyists exploit patients and doctors — Health & Wellness — Sott.net), but he doesn’t appear to be allowed to write about the pharmaceutical industry any more).
I make that four links, Hugh!
That’s a lot of sausages, even for a Sunday.
Why is my comment waiting for approval? I haven’t had that for a long time. (It wouldn’t be anything to do with the recent sabre rattling from the government over online comments would it?).
Did it have more than two links in it?
It had one link. I wondered if it was new rules or something. But I don’t see how it could be, given what I said was just an expanded version of my two word comment below, which appears to have had no issues.
Odd. Will be interesting to see if it shows up later.
hang it
Now I’ve been stopped from posting because I was posting too quickly or something. (I was going to post about right wing meaning different things depending on the context etc., but I can’t be bothered reproducing it now).

It was just a brief comment on the above excerpt saying the Times should know better as Oliver Wright (formerly of the Independent), who wrote in 2014 about “Big Pharma” lobbyists exploiting patients and doctors, now works for the Times. Perhaps it was the link?
Big Pharma lobbyists exploit patients and doctors — Health & Wellness — Sott.net
No, the link (above, linking to his article on big pharma) appears to have gone through alright. Maybe it was just a glitch, I couldn’t access the site earlier after all, and there was a problem with the comments section the other day.
P.S. Times muppets.
Democrats getting desperate in the unexpectedly tight vote for Virginia governor:
“At a [Republican candidate] Youngkin event today in Charlottesville, four Democrats who were tied to the Virginia Democratic Party showed up in the same khaki pants, brand new tiki torches with maybe the tags still on them, the same white shorts and like random camo hats, and then of course the media picked up on them and said: “look at these white supremacists who showed up to back Glenn Youngkin”
When hearing anything in the mainstream media about “white supremacists” or “racists” or “homophobes” or about any shocking alleged “hate crime”, your first response should always be profound scepticism, because the simple fact is that these things are often faked, because it’s a powerful tactic to fake such things. The mainstream media have an inbuilt systematic bias in reporting all these things:
Hate Crime Hoaxes Are More Common Than You Think
A political scientist found that fewer than 1 in 3 of 346 such allegations was genuine.
“Hate crime… as opposed to an ‘I really really like you’ crimes”. (Gene Hunt, of Life On Mars fame). My favourite quote on the matter. i wonder if “stick at nought” Hancock’s piece in the Mail on Sunday a few weeks back was any different to some of these “non-criminal hate incidents”.
“i wonder if “stick at nought” Hancock’s piece in the Mail on Sunday a few weeks back was any different to some of these “non-criminal hate incidents”.”
Of course it was different and in the most crucial way – it was aimed against an outgroup (“vaccine” resisters) rather than a group specially favoured by the establishment.
There was a story, wasn’t there, about someone attacked for being a “metallist” (heavy metal fan), wanting such incidents to be counted as hate crimes. I suppose “hate crimes” are, to some degree, a government tool for promoting fashionable agendas, (perhaps comparable to the campaign to have people convicted of certain acts pardoned many years later after the business in question was decriminalised).
To some degree, and there are always people rather naively trying to take the regime at its word when it introduces some noble sounding pretext for repression like “hate speech/hate crimes”. It occasionally works, but usually the system finds an excuse to defeat it.
The Police must love being able to record non crime hate incidents as it allows them to create files on people who are not criminals.
When the Vetting & Baring Agency (formerly CRB) are searching to determine if someone can be determined to be a fit and proper to work with vulnerable people they produce a document with spaces for Police, Court and sentencing records, after those is another for ‘Other Information’. ?
They’d especially like it if it would empower them to take a dna sample and add it to their database.
This Spiked piece linked atl references a kind of twisted offshoot of the tendency to make up hate crimes for political impact or personal gain – in this case an innocent man was accused of a made up hate crime merely in order to protect the wokeists’ cause from bad publicity. It is a truly shocking story and the Spiked writer’s comment that the details “make his blood boil” is absolutely understandable.
“Back in June, Smith, a plumber, attended a school-board meeting in Loudoun County, an affluent suburb of Washington DC. The area is well known for its progressive political views. On the agenda was the board’s proposal to allow students to use the bathroom of either sex, according to their self-declared gender identity. In response to objections raised by parents, school-district superintendent Scott Ziegler claimed that ‘We don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our bathrooms’. Parents opposed to the radical policy were fighting phantoms, apparently. ‘The predator transgender student or person simply does not exist’, Ziegler said.
Smith went to the meeting to express his anger about the assault of his daughter that had occurred just weeks before, and to protest the policy. Shamefully, Smith was taunted by activists and he got into a shouting match with a woman who said she didn’t believe the rape happened. [Bear in mind here that woke leftists in the past routinely accused people who questioned the veracity of rape claims of being misogynist hate criminals.] Police intervened and arrested him. A video of Smith being tackled by the police, floundering on the floor as his t-shirt was ripped open, went viral. The Twitterati mocked and fat-shamed him.
Smith was then charged with two misdemeanors. The prosecutor, Buta Biberaj, pressed to have him jailed. Ms Biberaj is known for her woke politics and for supporting the ‘decarceration’ of criminals. But she was willing to make an exception to put this father behind bars.”
There are people involved in this who ought to be behind bars, and Smith isn’t one of them.
Collins suggests that this incident could influence the outcome of the Virginia governor election discussed above, and so it should.
Not dissimilar to the case of a father being arrested in Rotherham when trying to get police to take action against a ‘group of men’ raping his daughter.
One of the MSM YouTube channels features a report titled
‘Why is white supremicism on the rise in America’.
They don’t need the video to be watched, the message is in the title alone.
“and that explains why all of a sudden journalists, of all people, are leading the charge against the First Amendment, that you thought made their jobs possible…..Of course they’re not against “misinformation”, obviously, the point is they want to restore their monopoly on it. And that’s what they’re trying to do.”
Tucker Carlson still on an absolute blinder diagnosing and describing the downfall of the West.
Senator Ron Johnson (being interviewed): “it’s the bias in the media that’s created a situation where Republicans and conservatives do not trust the mainstream media and that is what’s destroyed the credibility of the media and our institutions and really shaken confidence in this election result”
NBC’s Chuck Todd (interrupting): “Senator I’ve had enough of hearing this.”
Commentary by Tucker Carlson: “Chuck Todd literally can’t even bear to listen to someone criticise the American news media. Oh but he has to now. Settle down, Chuck. No-one is interested in what you think any more. Your moral authority is long gone along with your relevance. You’re shouting into the void. They all are. “
Tucker is having fun, they are such easy targets.
Why This Winter Won’t Be As Bleak As The Past…
Because more and more people are gleaning the truth, waking from their induced trance and beginning to refuse to comply.
We must hope, believe and pray that will be so.
Probably because they killed most of the vulnerable elderly in the care homes last year?
But for Covid-19, the ‘booster’ dose is from the same stocks as the earlier vaccines, which were only designed to protect against the original, non-mutated, SARS-CoV-2. It provides only very limited — and diminishing — protection against current and future variants and loads your body down with even more dangerous spike proteins. Every single one of the eight doctors and scientists on this panel discussion from October 2nd agrees: there is absolutely no logic in giving ‘booster’ doses of these vaccines.
Covid-19 — vaccinations and masks — a comprehensive analysis of the substantial risks to health.

This is a very good read – recommend – as a regular traveller who has now stopped travelling abroad altogether due to the vaccine mandates – I do beleive the current medical authoritarianism is something we need to stand up to – if you think this medical tyranny ends with the third ‘booster shot’ (basically old vaccine stock) then think again … with each shot yet another roll of the dice.

The “vaccines” are placebos, in that there is no evidence they do anything other than kill & maim. They don’t prevent transmission, they don’t prevent infection, there’s no evidence they reduce severity of disease! A disease which has a 99.7% survival rate, where the majority of people infected by sars-cov2 have either mild (a cold) or no symptoms of Covid-19 disease.
How do you prove an infected person had milder disease because they are vaccinated? It’s a myth perpetuated by the MSM. There’s only one proven effectiveness of the vaccines, it makes big pharma shareholders Black Rock & Vanguard wealthier! Nothing changes. Same as it ever was, MONOPOLY – FOLLOW THE MONEY! Who runs the World?
If the NHS is willing to lose 100000+staff by not submitting to illegal mandates then presumably the NHS is under little or no pressure.

State the bleedin’ obvious. Ever since Blair’s managerialisation of the public sector initiated its collapse, that has been blindingly clear. Even when we throw money at it and it makes no difference, what do we do? Throw more money at it.
Senior Nurse in the RUH in Bath, with 20 years + on the shop floor, who we got to know during many visits, when I asked her about management, this was her response, etched into my memory
“Management? Dickheads with clipboards who stop us working
My mum who retired as a nurse after 40 years experience in the 1980s was of the same opinion.
When companies and organisations started pushing aside people with years of experience in favour of university graduates.
Mum could have stayed at work another 5 years but was fed up with being pushed around by such people.
She spent those 5 years ignoring ‘Return To Nursing’ begging letters from the NHS.
Managers versus senior workers is a bit like officers versus NCOs in the military, from what I’ve heard from friends in the latter. Advice to new officers, I’ve been told, is generally: listen to your experienced NCOs and keep your clever ideas from college to yourself until you’ve got some real world experience.
I have heard it said that if you leave aside armed forces, only the Indian State Railway has a bigger workforce than the NHS. It is a terrifying, monstrous behemoth reminiscent of Soviet Russia. The difficulty is that it has now been deified in British Life and any politician who does anything other than laud the NHS and pour more money into it will be seen as evil incarnate, to challenge the NHS is to commit political suicide. So it hard to know what can be done? maybe we have to wait until it collapses of its own accord and it can then be reformed as part of a rescue package.
Can be applied to 80 plus % of all management, public or private.
BULLS×TT BAFFLES BRAINS!!!!
“Ever since Blair’s managerialisation of the public sector initiated its collapse, that has been blindingly clear. Even when we throw money at it and it makes no difference, what do we do? Throw more money at it.”
I bow to no man in my contempt for Blair, and there are plenty of specific crimes to lay at his door, but the public sector in this county was a bloated drain on the nation throughout the mid-late C20th, as you’d expect from a state socialist system based upon delusional ideology.
The NHS specifically was constantly in crisis from the mid-fifties onwards through organisational issues and shortages of money and manpower. It survived only by constantly growing, like a cancer, and by sucking in immigrant manpower.
By the seventies the failure of the whole public sector system was threatening basic public order, and the retrenchment of the 1980s slowed the descent, rearranged the socialist deckchairs a bit, and changed some of the nominal funding and management methods, but we still live in a basically collectivist nanny state, with people sufficiently acclimatised to big government control to enable lockdowns, coerced mask wearing, and coerced vaccinations to be imposed without strong resistance.
Blair’s real legacy was the co-opting of intelligence services into producing what the politicians wanted. No dossier left undodged!
Imperial College was an easy target for those seeking to find links to the British Empire, the clue being in the name.
Once the Cancel Cultists have cancelled all the dead white academics of the past they will have to turn on those of the present (as indeed they already have).
Pass the popcorn as it turns into the new Cultural Revolution in which academic staff are forced to wear dunces caps before being thrown out of 4th story windows for the crime of being ‘intellectuals’.
At the European Parliament, Christine Anderson makes a powerful speech about the political elite using extortion, coercion, and manipulation to push an experimental procedure.
“In the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite sincerely concerned about the wellbeing of regular people. What makes any of us think that it is different now.”

I agree. It’s both stirring and moving and one to keep for times when my spirits need a lift.
I expect it’s just a coincidence.
Hmm
“According to Mundo Deportivo, from the Juvenil section up to the first team, 99.9% of its playing staff have now been vaccinated.“
Well if anybody comes across the same info, sans pay wall, which they’re covering in the Trial Site News page above, sharing it here would be much appreciated.
I still have no idea why they bother to share interesting stuff for us to read on this site, but we can’t access it. Pointless.
And the ‘Esc’ trick doesn’t work on that site. I’ve tried. I probably sound like a right cheapskate! lol
Waterford, Ireland Exposes Covid Vaccine as a Fraud
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/waterford-ireland-exposes-covid-vaccine-fraud/
Mail Online website is a nightmare on a PC. I had to switch to mobile to wade through the comments. Middle England is saying NO to ‘vaccine passports’ and bullying/coercion.
Credit to the Mail for consistently covering the protests unlike the other news media. Also they’ve moved on from labelling us as “anti-vaxxers” to a much more accurate “anti-vaccine passport protesters. A sign of a change in the tide perhaps?
The Mail’s website is tits and arse, interspersed with ‘news’ headlines.

THE VACCINE-CANCER ATROCITY: Like clockwork, most vaccinated Americans will lose immune function by Christmas and start growing accelerated CANCER tumors that will kill them over the next ten years
“Boosting” immunity won’t work because there’s nothing left to boost

Approach such hysterical claims with extreme caution. They do no good to our cause.
I do like Mike Adams he is very sharp and articulates things well but his content can be quite doomsday
Great, how much do you want to bet that I will be still alive in 10 years?
Destruction of Medicine? A Bill to Allow Prescriptions by AI

If I had to pick between taking medical advice from AI or from Mercola, I would certainly go with AI.

Reg. the NHS needing structural change, not more money.
This is true of education, the military and the whole civil service and public sector.
The recent review of the Budget in, I think, TCW, showed the productivity development of the public sector: down 20% since the 90s!
This, and by extension if not even default, Covid (see today’s Brownstone article on masks, making clear that the medical sector really endorses them to increase and cement its own power and self-imoortance) is the real issue and war: the bloated and ever more costly but unproductive public sector, incl. governments, legislatures and jusiciary, against the independent private sector.
“The educational power structure, insulated from feedback from parents or employers, “deprived of contact with reality,” has a core goal: to justify its own existence. Teachers’ unions, administrators, local school boards, and state boards of education all exist to serve themselves and other adults, not children or parents. Their job is to manage budgets and pensions and professional development, not to educate kids.”
The purpose and function of the national school system is “not to *educate* kids”, I agree … but it does have an extremely important purpose apart from its own survival which is to dumb down, domesticate, brainwash, condition and train children to be docile ( obedient and unquestioning ) citizens and ( alienated, anxious ) compulsive/constant consumers.
And it acts as a screening tool aswell, filtering out and “disabling” those children who cannot be broken in. There is now nearly noone alive in the developed world who wasn’t “educated” in this way ( other than the homeschooled ), and it shows; the impact of the national schools systems on most people’s ability to think for themselves etc, has been profound.
And the politicians think ‘that’s a lot of work, and I’ll get paid anyway, so why bother?’

Rules for thee but not for me.
Despite this lying corporate UK government declaring there is no intention to bring in Covid passports/digital ID, why have I just received this message from the NHS: “You can now apply for a digital passport. The digital passport provides proof you are vaccinated. Apply here: https://info-health-pass.org“.
I often clarify in E-mails or other forms that I am Miss as with my name it gets confusing. Has happened here a few times. Does not bother me.
I welcome other people using it if they want to as there are a lot of names these days which are used by both genders or as they are not common in Europe one will not know, and it does help.
That’s fine, if you are honestly just seeking to inform people so they know which is appropriate. The modern plague of pronoun obsession however stems from people trying to coerce others into dancing to their political tune by pretending that politeness requires it, and this is passive aggression.
If someone has a name that is commonly use for the sex that is not theirs and they inform me straightforwardly (as by using miss/ms, mrs or mr), then that’s fine and I will then use the appropriate pronouns from then on. But if they are trying to pressure me to join in with some silly “gender” nonsense, then I’m not interested and will ignore it. Adding ms was far enough along that direction of travel for me, thanks.
As far as I’m concerned there are male humans and there are female humans, with various sexual predilections. The rest is nonsense.

Absolutely spot on, and backs up the testimony from the “Fellowship of the Eight Doctors” video, link elsewhere on this blog page. When you consider, as I think all LS/DS followers often might do, that the Pfizer jab initiates the Alpha variant S1 spike protein, which in some is of no immediate consequence, to others mildly problematical to deadly, and the “booster” crap is the same, it beggars belief that Johnson/SAGE/DHSC/NHS still threaten sanctions if you do. to take it, despite the Delta variant being “of interest”. No other Pfizer jab has got MHRA EUA so, never mind it does not work on the Delta variant nor any other variant either – because the S1 spike protein is unique to each variant I understand – they keep on with this criminal charade. Don’t the get that they have been rumbled….?
