Professor Devi Sridhar, Chair of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh, has claimed that the only thing preventing the pandemic being over is the fact that some adults have not been vaccinated. The anthropologist told the Telegraph:
Governments are frustrated. If all adults were vaccinated who were offered it, [the] pandemic would be over. ICUs are full of people who chose not to get vaccinated, then regret it later. Is that fair to doctors and nurses? And to those who need care for heart attacks and other life-threatening conditions?
Her comments appear in a Telegraph article by the newspaper’s Gates-funded Global Health Security team highlighting how governments are “wielding increasingly bigger sticks in an effort to push vaccination rates skyward – from the threat of prison time to withholding free Covid healthcare and the rise of ‘no jab, no job’ policies”.
In what sense, though, would the pandemic be over if the last 18.7% of over-18s in England were vaccinated? According to Government data, infection rates in over-18s are currently higher in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated, and 73% of total infections in the month ending January 9th were in the vaccinated, so it certainly wouldn’t end transmission or infection. The latest data also shows that 63% of hospitalisations and 70% of deaths with Covid in the month ending January 9th were in the vaccinated (one or more doses). So vaccinating everyone wouldn’t even halve the number of hospital admissions and deaths, let alone eliminate them. While the latest data for ICUs does show a majority of Covid ICU patients in December were unvaccinated, it needs to be borne in mind that the situation is reversed for deaths, and also that ICU occupancy is relatively low and declining at present, meaning there is no pressure on ICUs to blame on the unvaccinated.
The truth is, the pandemic is already over, as there has been no need for emergency measures outside high-risk settings since spring 2020 (if there even was then). Omicron makes this all the more true, to the point that even many lockdown proponents are admitting it’s over. Forcing the last 19% of adults to get vaccinated has no bearing on this fact, and the drive to universal vaccination regardless of once-honoured principles of autonomy and fairness is fast becoming a vindictive outlet for pent-up frustration and grief for the suffering and loss we have all endured under government over-reaction these past two years.

Surely we’ve got to the point of the story now where HarryPotter and friends kill all the death eaters including Bellatrix?
Or at least immobilise them mid spell?
Ivermectin not only cures Covid/Flu like symptoms but recently researchers found that Ivermectin inhibits Esophageal Cancer! Search “Ivermectin induces apoptosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma via mitochondrial pathway” on googl. This is great news. No wonder they say wonder drug. Buy Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Tell her to bugger off and mind her own business.
She looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost. A possessed thrall of the Sith Lords is no human to be dictating that I must be repeatedly assaulted.
Why is this witch given so much attention? there are far smarter individuals speaking on these subjects, it is like she is being groomed for power by powerful forces behind the scenes. It is public knowledge that she is a Bill Gates favourite. Stop giving the little authoritarian attention and hopefully the creature will disappear back to academic obscurity.
Why are morons like this given a platform to air their puerile pandemic views, while authorities like doctors Robert Malone and Peter McCullough are banned?
Obviously, the question is rhetorical. Anyone who doesn’t suss the answer is either as thick as two short planks or suffering from post COVID fog.
Because she is being groomed for a high position in a Kier Starmer regime (unless we expose these people).
The ONS Final Data for excess deaths (England and Wales) in 2020 show 72,000 died with Covid19 (i.e. 28 or 60 days after a test or recorded as such by someone given the power to do so under the Coronovirus Act).
Of these the ONS data show 9,400 died without any recorded underlying condition, of whom 7,800 where over 65 years of age.
There was no pandemic.
Why does anyone listen to the lunatic mutterings of this rather stupid pseudoscientist (as she likes to call true scientists)?
Someone lock her in the stationery cupboard, please!
The pandemic would be over because the vaccines would have taken the people instead.
Anthropologist? Seriously? Why would the daily sceptic waste one moment of their time on this person? Why? The spread of this kind of misinformation must stop. The daily sceptic has the authority to take control of misinformation by not giving people like this anthropologist a platform, ever.
She holds many qualifications and has written books on global medicine and the like. She has limited or no actual clinical experience and with her young age I cannot see what her authority is on any medical subject. It seems you can tell people what to do if you have studied lots of books.
Not actually read this yet, but how do you actually jab all adults to stop this thing? By the time a few million are are all jabbed, you would have to start again from the beginning with boosters. Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, Row …
Why is it that having a professorship drains the rationality away from a person?
Sridar seriously needs her bumps examining! She is the epitome of anti-science “experts”, zealously pushing their drivel onto a gullible public who eagerly lap up anything from “experts” on MSM. JVT has left the scene. Let’s hope more rats leave the sinking ship soon!
Misinformation is a dangerous thing especially when it comes from an “expert”. Do not put another word this person utters on your site, please. She is terribly dangerous. Deplatform dangerous “experts” from your daily sceptic report. Include the experts giving us a clear, honest data. Dr Peter McCullough is just one of these experts. Please watch his most recent presentation. It does not get any clearer. On the Mercola website today. Please watch. Send to everyone you know.
However hateful she is we Sceptics should know about what the lunatic fringe is peddling on the media. I loved the way she called Sunetra Gupta a pseudoscientist !
Perhaps someone has this idiots email and would like to send her the recent interview where Albert Boula the CEO of Pfizer, sadmits that the first 2 injections offer no protection and the boosters help prevent hospitalisaton but not the infection. Thats the bloke who makes the stuff
if you want to see it and want to see how not only do the vaccines not stop covid they make the vaccinated more vulnerable.

There are no depths to which certain persons would not go with their tongues when licking arse.

Dear Prof. Devi is now an accomplice to murder:
The inconvenient truth is the pandemic IS over. It ended at the start of Spring last year.
Is there a way to find out if the unvaccinated in ICU are unable to have the vaccine for the very reasons they are in ICU in the first place?
Yes Just my first comment here wanted to say that I love this site , This woman is not a scientist Doctor or a decent human being of any kind she has said repeatedly masks work they don’t against small virus particles according to Science has Spain France have high covid rates and never got rid of their mask mandate and the vaccines are not vaccines They are MHRA Experimental Gene Therapy, and wants to probably kill off 60 percent of the population , She is a globalist no wonder she talks to Bill Gates .
Devi Shridha is a lightweight who has talked utter rubbish from the beginning of the Covid panic. She is more of a media pundit than a scientist. A nudger by profession. She is one of the people who I sincerely hope we never hear of again once it is finally admitted that the pandemic is over. No doubt her fawning acolytes in the media will continue to offer her the oxygeon of publicity for as long as possible. However sooner or later even she will be expected to return to the day job.
If all adults were vaccinated who were offered it, [the] pandemic would be over.
Oh, really, Devi, do you take us all for idiots?
Vaccination has prolonged the pandemic, as have lockdowns. This thing would have been over long ago if not for those.
And having 100% vaccinated seamen on board RN ships didn’t seem to stop Covid outbreaks, did it?
Is this daft bint related to Occasional Cortex in the states?

The Female Reproductive Issues reported to VAERS. This is so important for our bloody species. I still cannot believe that this is what I am doing with my time – trying to convince humans why it’s a good idea to consider what is contained in a syringe that has been connected to an unprecedented number of adverse events in every adverse event collection system in the world.
The reason for the excessive proportion of events reported in 0-5 year olds comes about due to the small denominator – ‘only’ 11,791 babies aged 0-5 have been injected so far in the States. Of the 10 babies aged 0-5 in VAERS, 9 are in the Foreign data set (aka: the hiding place) and [warning – do not read this if you are prone to puking] a 5-month and a 6-month old baby succumbed to ‘Vaginal haemorrhage’. The 5-month old is referred to as having ‘Menstruation irregular’.Out of these 10 babies, only 3 recovered. That means that 7 died
S2 Subunit of SARS-nCoV-2 Interacts with Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 and BRCA: an In Silico Study
It has been reported that the S2 portion of the spike protein may block tumor suppression via the P53 pathway which plays an important role in some common skin cancers. It will be interesting to see whether mass vaccination has an effect on the incidence of skin cancer (and other cancers) in the future.

Devi hasn’t endured any suffering or grief as far as I can see. She’s done very nicely out of fear, hatred, and other people’s misery.
But she’s a one trick pony. Lockdowns, coercion, threats and fear are all she has to offer. She doesn’t have the expertise or knowledge to play a genuine public health role; stirring hatred is all she can do. It’s a tragedy that she was allowed anywhere near the development of policy.
3rd rate Scottish government requires 3rd rate “experts”.
