Our readers don’t need to be told there’s a thirst for intelligent criticism of the mainstream narrative on Covid, wokery, climate and more. Little surprise then, perhaps, that January 2022 was our most popular month yet, topping two million hits for the first time with 2,076,570 page views in the month. It continues a sustained upward trajectory since the autumn, growing over 50% since September.
The Daily Sceptic is being read more than ever, bringing its critical, scientifically literate perspective to a widening number of people. And it’s all thanks to you, our discerning readers, who peruse and share the articles from the talented bunch of scientists, academics, medics and journalists with their heads in the data who contribute to our output. If you’re not yet a subscriber to our free daily update email, which delivers all the stories from the previous 24 hours direct to your inbox each morning, you can sign up here.
It’s also thanks of course to all who have donated, whether a small or large amount, one-off or regularly, who keep the show on the road and make sure our content is freely available for all. If you’d like to make a donation, you can do so here.
It’s a team effort, so well done all. Let’s keep the pressure on.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Well done to Toby, Will and the others in the team. You have played a significant part in keeping me sane.
And also thanks to all the BtL commentators who have shared their expertise and posted links to relevant articles, interviews and podcasts. You too have done us proud.
Found LS when my own scepticism became fully formed around May 2020.
Grateful thanks to Toby, Will and all the other thoughtful, well-informed contributions both above and below the line.
You kept me sane.
Congratulations on reaching that amount of people with an alternative to the unchallenging and sometimes hysterical MSM.
you have helped keep me sane for the past year or so when you page has been the first thing I turned to every morning.
I can only offer respect for your consistency, determination and hard work.
Yes, unceasing thanks to Tobes and all concerned for the sanity lifeline for the last two years. Hope my occasional $2 helps it to keep going.
Lockdown Sceptics (as it was then) has continued to be a wonderful gateway drug to other critical/sceptical/hopping-mad voices for sanity. Without it, I would never have discovered the wonderfully acerbic Laura Perrins over at TCW, James D who also pulls no punches, and many other sources of Covid sense and top quality, well-researched writing.
And as for the marvellous BTL ecosystem here – I have always been wary of the BTL world for harbouring a lot of barrow-pushers, hobby-horseists and feuding commenters but the Daily Sceptic BTL is a fascinating and informative community of intelligent, entertaining writers who have kept my spirits afloat down here in prison island (Australia).

Not all BTL’s are equal Phil.
Some BTLs are nothing more than the equivalent of the Daily Mail comments section, with people just “shouting” their opinions.
Here the BTL’s discuss, engage, support and even entertain each other.
I was a late joiner in early 2021 but since then you have kept our family sane. Bless you, Toby, Will and the team at DS and for giving me the willpower to resist, despite the government trampling over our rights to bodily autonomy.
Thanks Toby!
I didn’t expect us to be allied, but with this site I began to (partially) understand the madness surrounding me. Not everything you’ve said here has been correct, but at least you began from a position of intellectual curiosity far beyond the denial we see from the zombie media. Right or wrong, it was comforting by reading about other disbelievers. I was in a bad place, badly equipped for a long seige – less so today. In retrospect, I think this site has been far more accurate than the media organisations I *(used to)* respect.
I found Lockdown Sceptics (as it was then) early on, but I can’t remember exactly how I came across it. It was quite a while though, I think, before I actually registered.
Since discovering the site, I think it is rare for a day to go by where I don’t stop by, and invariably I end up spending a few hours over the course of the day, reading the articles and comments.
Sometimes it may seem as though we readers might come across as a bit ungrateful or critical but I think we would sorely miss the Daily Sceptic site if it were to close – I know I would. And if this site had not existed at all … well, that’s quite a sobering thought – I think things would have been much more difficult to bear without this excellent resource and, of course, its commenters 🙂
I feel that this site is a bit like a life-raft.
Many thanks
Me too. I think of some on here as my little, invisible friends/allies and have done for well over a year. A victory meet up/piss up would be very much in order. Preferably round here though…
maybe in warmer weather – just in case they push us all outside again?
I couldn’t agree more. 👍
Congratulations, and may that number continue to rise.
I followed a link from Catallaxy Files, a now closed libertarian blog. I have seen a few familiar monikers from there among the comments here.

Pat King reacts on Monday to Prime Minister Trudeau’s comments on the Freedom Convoy 2022 protests. King says the update is from an undisclosed location. He says it’s “retarded” that “idiot” Trudeau is not supporting what he calls blue-collar workers . King calls for horn honking every half hour.

So much for the “fighting Irish” – A disgrace to the nation
Your success has made me break cover. I have been an avid follower for over 12 months; this is my first post and its to thank all of you for showing me that I’m not the only one still sane!
Glad you burst cover.
Welcome, and keep posting.
Another lurker joins the ranks!. Welcome Eric. Happy posting.
Don’t want to burst the bubble but a bit worried that multiple daily hits (v extensive!) may skew your numbers. Sorry about that.
lockdownsceptic now dailysceptic has replaced zerohedge as my summary of what the satanic death cult are up day-to-day. Thank you Toby, your team and fellow purebloods in the comment section.
This site and its reporting helped me retain my sanity during March/April 2020. I work self-employed as a family photographer in London for Americans on vacation/business. It’s been hell trying to operate – and I’m an outdoorsy.
The level of mind control they have with
MK Ultra4K TV, legacy press and spy journalists was frightening during the early months. However, I believe enough sheeple are breaking through as the die offs from myocarditis and other causes gather pace.I’ve been reading you since the beginning. I was never concerned in the slightest about the ‘virus’ but extremely concerned about our government following the dictatorship of China. Never looked back. You guys are the absolute dog’s bollocks.
Congratulations to Toby and the whole team. This site has been my lifeline to sanity throughout the madness. Thanks also to the incredible people who have contributed below the line, with such great and powerful comments. The energy and attitude here are so great. Also, pretty funny comedy from time to time. It’s a pity that the new profanity regulations have come into force, but, ahem, I feel kinda responsible myself for that in the way I despatched rational a couple weeks ago. Maybe it was me that pushed it over the edge. Oh well. I really like the edgy flavour the comments used to have, and mostly still do. Seriously, let profanity back, but sure, abuse is unwelcome. But it’s good to be able to vent here because seriously we need to vent. Anyway, great site, great work, please don’t stop. and Thank You.
I miss rational.
Irrational?
Stunning scenes from Canadia. Although Im a bit concerned that images of genuine resistance might get me banned from the not so sceptical sceptics site. I just read someone here saying that they could not believe that the scamming lowlifes running this operation of genocide and violation and perversion of everything that makes the world special and the orchestrated blatant destruction of freedom would actually put nanotech in the vials. Its this age old attitude of assuming an understanding the depth of evil at work here which is a huge trap people set for themselves. Judging these monsters by their own values etc. These people are into weapons, drugs, human traffiking, organ harvesting, illegal wars, false flag terrorism and the creation of a world built on nothing but lies and fabricated reality etc etc. There are no depths they will not sink to – including pumping your nearest and dearest with nanotech so they can create their dystopian world of pure evil where the masses are reduced to programmable slaves of a tiny kakistocracy of the most evil of our kind. We must all unite in defiance of this evil and take back what is rightfully ours. We are here… Read more »

Lockdown sceptics/Daily Sceptic has kept me sane for over 18 months and along with Talk radio made me realise that I wasn’t a lone voice in the wilderness.
We are now starting to make headway against the lockdown fanatics and as Churchill said: “This is not the beginning of the end but perhaps it’s the end of the beginning”
The David Icke website and The Daily Expose have shared some of the Daily Sceptics articles recently which has probably helped to boost numbers.
This site is well worth the money I paid early on.
A lot of em get it now but it is too late. Bourla has extracted his serum.It is alrady started to seep out and it is unpleasant. When this really gets out who knows the reaction. We have to try to keep people calm.

Announcement: Start of the Grand Jury Proceeding
First date: Feb. 05, 2022
In serious criminal cases in the U.S., a so-called grand jury is presented with the evidence at hand to convince them that this evidence is sufficient to bring public charges against the defendants.
We are adopting this model to prove to the public, with the help of real witnesses, lawyers, a judge and experts from around the world, that we are dealing with crimes against humanity that span the globe.
The goal is a coherent presentation of all the facts gathered to date, and thus to convince the populations of all countries that resistance here is not only possible, but required of every individual.
See more in the announcement video.

Pfizer Expects Vaccines For Children 6 Months To 5 Years Within “Weeks” After Handing Data To FDA
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/pfizer-expects-vaccines-children-6-months-5-years-within-weeks-after-handing-data-fda
This is from Fuellmich’s telegram page.
Apparently these findings are endorsed by John O’Looney
Certified embalmer and funeral director Richard Hirschman has discovered arteries and veins with unnatural blood clots made of strange fibrous materials that completely fill the vascular system. Many of the victims reportedly died of heart attacks and strokes. Mr. Hirschman reports that he encountered resistance when he attempted to embalm these inoculated patients and then found these strange materials and pulled them from the large vessels of the bodies.
We asked undertaker John O’Looney, guest at the committee’s 72nd meeting to verify this report. He writes, “In fact my own embalmer has been complaining about this for many months. It is true”
Well done! It’s deserved. I don’t engage in formal social media as such but this site has provided very worthwhile coverage during the Rona madness, to be able to engage with others and share views, and, even if we don’t always agree, at least debate has been opened up. I don’t look at mainstream news other than to get a sense of balance but I often think if anything Rona ain’t covered in Daily Sceptic it probably ain’t worth worrying about!
Best username name on the site. Congratulations!
“karenovirus” is good too.
Just remember all of this is a calling towards spiritual science. You already know that. This country has been the epicentre many times before in hih antiquity and it will be this time. We carry the logos forward. Don’t feel daunted by anything they are daunted by us.
Thank you for being a voice of sanity over the last 24 months of official misinformation.
Keep it going please.
i don’t know what i would have done with out lockdown sceptic / daily sceptic.
i stumbled upon it via the daily mail sometime october 2020 think ,maybe earlier
thank you toby will all commenters ! the writing the laughs the information.and my fellow people
The whole idea of Ahura Mazda, the power behind the sun. PB Shelley wrote a poem about the victory of Ahura Mazda over Ahriman and he called it The Ode To Intellectual Beauty. This is so much the message of our time Our literature is in a sense a pre-innoculation against these forces. This is why we fight so strongly on an unconscious level. The very underpinnings of the English language represent a bulwark against totalitarianism.
Fascinating idea. What do you think that it is about the English language that might act as defence/protection/inoculation against authoritarianism? …. It sounds intriguing, even plausible …. but it doesn’t seem to be helping the Canadians or Australians ….
Whatever happened to the Aussie truck driver protests, did they simply wimp out? I do hope their Canadian counterparts can do better.
They fizzled out. Ignored by the Lying Press. The ‘green-left’ have ignored them (petrol and diesel-guzzling trucks driven by old-fashioned, mostly male proletarians – not the demographic the green-left even knows how to talk to these days). The Transport Workers Union was against them – the union prefers to blather on about ‘workplace safety’ which seems to mean free PCRs with every border crossing, free RATs, encouraging ‘vaccination’ and self-isolation rather than challenging the stupid rules around Covid and taking back our freedom from the tyrants who have exploited a non-existent ‘pandemic’.
Nevertheless, it seems to have been a test run for a new truckie protest (inspired by the Canadian big-riggers) converging on Parliament House in Canberra (UPDATES: Australians join viral protests with #ConvoytoCanberra – TOTT News ).
We are way behind the eightball down here, the old Mass Formation Psychosis having done its worst with us (and New Zealand) even as the list of countries ditching some or all of their restrictions grows daily.
But hope springs eternal, and a federal election in May will turn the dial up.
Hi Phil
I hope that if the Aussie truckers try again they will have more success, perhaps off the back of the Canadian convoy showing what can be achieved – and more awareness of that might generate more support for an Aussie convoy.
I think NZ is a special case, perhaps singled out by WEF for “special measures”. Everything I read about it seems to suggest that it is a “test bed” for everything the WEF wants to push out globally and they are trialling it in NZ first to see if they can “get away with it” (Neil Ferguson).
NZ is small, isolated, spread over 2 islands, easy to wall off as it were, compared to other nations which share land borders and are larger and kind of harder to ‘contain’ as it were. I don’t know what the citizens are attempting to do to fight back but they need to do something and soon before it is too late and the freedoms are gone for ever.
Ahriman is in the internet. Discuss.
Congratulations Toby, Will, and everyone else at Sceptic Towers.
But look at that exponential growth on the graph. I’m a bit worried by that. Shouldn’t we be locking everyone down, or something, just to keep people safe?
Ferguson has predicted that by end Feb 2022 over 20 billion people per day will be reading Lockdown sceptics and as a consequence the electricity grid will spontaneously combust, or something…
priceless!!! bound to be accurate!
