  • “Covid cases continue to plummet: infections fall by another fifth” – “The Department of Health posted another 32,322 positive tests across the country in the last 24 hours, down 19.4% last Monday. Cases have dropped week-on-week on all but one day since October 24th,” reports MailOnline.
  • “I was thrilled to get the first two Covid vaccines. But I won’t be getting the booster” – I have come to the conclusion that I don’t need a third jab, and it has been my life-long policy not to take medicines that I don’t need, writes Patrick O’Flynn in the Telegraph.

  • “Where has BMJ editor Peter Doshi, a vaccine sceptic, been hiding until now?” – “Perhaps it’s not surprising that he never became a darling of SAGE or found himself in the inner sanctum of government science advisers. They might have found his pursuit of the truth rather hard to stomach,” writes Kathy Gyngell, who examines the research findings of BMJ editor Peter Doshi in TCW.
  • “For whom do the Covid ‘fact checkers’ really work?” – We are living in a world where fact checking institutions are literally asserting as fact something which is at best unproven, writes Vinay Prasad for the Brownstone Institute.

  • “Republicans slam Biden vaccine rule for businesses as health groups defend it” – Divided reaction to mandate requiring that large companies either vaccinate staff or administer tests mirrors vaccine rollout in U.S., reports the Guardian.

  • “The trouble with Austria’s vaccine passport plan” – “Are vaccine passports being used in other countries in an attempt to cut Covid infections, or to try and boost vaccine take up by curtailing the social lives of those who refuse? The latest change in policy in Austria would appear to confirm that for them, it’s the latter,” argues Ross Clark in the Spectator.
  • “COP26: Why China, India and Australia are reluctant to ditch coal” – China burns nearly as much coal as the rest of the world combined, while Australia is one of the biggest exporters of fossil fuels across the globe, and India relies on coal for more than 60% of its electricity, reports Sky News.

  • “Railway museum to research steam trains for racism and slavery links” – “The Universities of Sheffield, Leeds and York, together with the National Railway Museum, Network Rail, and three other museums in the North of England will spend £9,000 researching how steam power aided imperial expansion and profiteering during the Industrial Revolution,” reports RT.
  • “Unvaccinated care home workers face the sack on Thursday” – Care group boss Mike Padgham speaks to TalkRadio: “This is risking not having enough staff, they have to balance it out. It doesn’t make sense to me.”

Care workers in England face the sack if they are not double-jabbed by Thursday.

Care group boss Mike Padgham: “I believe being vaccinated is a personal choice.

“This is risking not having enough staff, they have to balance it out. It doesn’t make sense to me.”

Is there any actual evidence that care home workers are infecting residents now that the NHS has stopped ducking responsibility for the seriously ill aged and are accepting them back into the NHS and also that, hopefully, midazolam is no longer being used for efficient dispatch.

The care home in East Germany that had 8 deaths and half the staff unvaxxed actually had no unvaxxed one having been sick and all of them tested negative.
So, if the tests are any good, only a vaxxed could have brought it in, which is of course most likely anyway for anyone who has paid attention sofar.
But that doesn’t prevent the politicians, journos and public from blaming the unvaxxed for it regardless and demanding a mandate now.

There were instances of ‘second wave’ outbreaks in local care homes last winter in which incoming residents infected some staff.
In all cases known to me some staff were off work briefly before returning to work safe and well.

NB almost all staff young, female, no comorbidities and ‘fit’, in the traditional use of that word.

“Covid cases continue to plummet: infections fall by another fifth” 

Oh, no no no. You have made a mistake. The NHS Division of the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda just recently informed the people that the pandemic is getting much worse. Citizens must start wearing plastic bags over their heads and hiding under their beds until further notice.

Rumours have been swirling about him because after he took the booster he disappeared from public view. Some say this has been a fortnight. I wouldn’t put it past them to be surgically reconstructing a body double as we speak.

At least Newsom will have the very best, instant care if he has suffered an injury, unlike the majority of people he has injured with his mandates.

“Myocarditis ‘tends to be mild’? Tell that to this vaccine victim” 

One of the more outrageous lies told by the regime. Myocarditis is never mild. Best case scenario is lots of dead heart cells leaving a permanently damaged heart and the necessity to make sure you don’t over exert and lots of drugs. Worst case, means a heart transplant. The untrialled injections have caused hundreds of thousands of injuries to male and female reproductive organs, heart attacks, strokes, clots, neurological diseases like Guillain-Barré syndrome, tremors, miscarriages and still births and death. All for a disease which has killed less than 900 healthy people under 60 in England across the entire pandemic. Now, the regime wants to put new fascist laws on the statue books terrifying people away from criticising vaccines.

Boris Johnson is a vain, incompetent scoundrel in the league of Nero and the British Government is guilty of crimes against humanity and must stand trial at The Hague.

This was posted in the comments section under the TCW article about the 22 year old man developing myocarditis post jab.
“Does anyone know why the NHS, just in England, needs £3B of “novel” anti-coagulants for the next 29 months?
Do they have a good reason, such as treating rare blood clots, by forcing buckets of pills down the necks of those few poor unfortunates who have clots, or do they just like wasting money.
£3B would generate a sizeable commission for some lucky punter.

They’ve been covering something up to do with Newsom going AWOL for two weeks. This might explain it. As I write elsewhere, at least Newsom will have quality care and medicine to help him, unlike most of the victims of his mandates.

Or is it these people?
China with dependent age groups top and bottom with not enough in the middle to support them and who are themselves approaching dependency.

(As a result of CCP one child policy to which the people are now wedded).

Note, population of China is almost the same as all of Africa.

Deciding on whether to mandate vaccines on care home workers and NHS staff based on whether it may or may not cause shortages is just plain psychopathic.

It’s like the Nazis making sure not to kill off too many jews at once because they need them for labour, but disposing of them them moment they cease to be useful.

We have become a truly sick society when that sort of behaviour does not become an outrage.

Roundup ‘York museums to investigate links to slavery’
Top of my head, no case to answer

No trains used to ship slaves from West Africa, some lines later built to develop W. African colonies.
Some small lines possibly moved slave produced sugar in West India plantation to dockside.

Some mid 19C lines to help populate settler colonies, Can, Aus, NZ..

Most important use was to develop India as a Nation which it never had been before either being the toy of some single dictator or the plaything of separatist princlings since before Alexande The Great.

Great Imperial dream of a railway from Cape Town to Cairo was late 19C post slavery.

Clear bill of health/ exercise in self flagelation by Yorkshire Museums but then its only £9k.

Clearly those bodies need £9k removing from whatever subsidies they receive, since they have at least that much to waste.

Now Income taxation (Income, Employer& Employee NI, and VAT) is a form of slavery and I’ll bet that study was funded by tax most of which comes from income taxes.

Roundup item BMJ editor Peter Doshi.

Not only one of the best on topic items on roundup for a while but might explain why the BMJ has occasionally but consistently published articles going against government policy of the day re both lockdown and vaccines.

Spectator, stop blaming Covid on racism.

Oxford University scientists have located the gene that indicates increased levels of risk from Covid among ethnic groups.

E. Asian +1.8%
Afro Carib +2%
White Euop +15%
S. Asians a whooping+60%
Then spoils it all by saying this could lead to more targeted use of vaccines.

That aside, let me hazard a guess that the laboratories concerned were staffed largely by Gammons and Gammonettes with a few junior BAME trainees benefiting from their instruction to the eventual benefit of their fellow countrymen.

More making it up as they go along.
Now all under 18s arriving in the UK can avoid quarantine and day eight testing, regardless of vaccination status. Still they want them to be vaccinated or wear masks in schools.
