One of the major frustrations throughout the COVID-19 crisis has been the failure of high-profile journalists to ask ministers and SAGE scientists challenging questions about the rationale for their – often unprecedented – decisions. When they were not baying for earlier and harder restrictions, the journalists who participated in the numerous coronavirus press conferences typically restricted themselves to questions seeking clarification about the detail of a new rule or imposition rather than imploring the experts to justify the reasoning that led to their non-evidenced diktats.
I am sure I’m not alone in fantasising about the sort of questions I would like to put to the key rule-makers responsible for this extraordinary two-year assault on our basic human rights. Consider, for instance, Professor Chris Whitty, England’s Chief Medical Officer, and his belated support for requiring people to wear masks in community settings, arguably the most insidious of all the COVID-19 restrictions.
This is not an academic issue. Thanks to the Government’s relentless messaging about the purported benefits of face coverings, there is a real danger that widespread community masking – with all the attendant physical, social, psychological and environmental harms – could become a permanent feature, at least in certain sections of our society.
Prof. Whitty’s track record on the contentious issue of masking healthy people is, like that of many of the high-profile political and scientific rule-makers, characterised by contradiction. In early March 2020, he unequivocally stated that healthy people should not be wearing face-coverings. One month later, he was faltering, saying that, “The evidence is weak, but the evidence of a small effect is there under certain circumstances”. Since this time he has supported – or, at least silently colluded – with the pro-mask lobby. What changed his mind? No robust evidence supporting mask efficacy emerged in spring 2020, nor any time since, so what ‘nudged’ him to relinquish his anti-mask stance?
To clarify the reasons for his change of mind, I would be keen to be given the opportunity to ask our Chief Medical Officer the following questions:
- Around April/May 2020, what piece of robust real-world research made you change your mind about the ineffectiveness of masking healthy people in the community?
- As late as December 2020, a WHO document concluded that: “There is only limited and inconsistent scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of masking healthy people in the community.” Do you agree with the BBC Newsnight reporter Deborah Cohen that the WHO’s U-turn on masks was likely to have been the result of political lobbying?
- With regard to the imposition of masks, what has been the specific rationale offered to you by the Government’s behavioural scientists, such as Professor David Halpern?
- Is it merely a coincidence that masks powerfully help enforce the main ‘nudges’ promoted by behavioural scientists to achieve compliance with COVID-19 restrictions?
- Do you agree that the most robust type of scientific evidence is that provided by real-world, randomised controlled trials? If so, how can you reconcile your promotion of mask wearing with the results of such trials that consistently show that masks do not significantly reduce the transmission of respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2?
- Do you agree that, in a democratic free society, the evidential bar for mandating an intervention (such as masking the healthy) should be set very high? If so, do you believe that the empirical evidence for the benefits of masks as a means of reducing viral transmission reaches this threshold?
- There are a wide range of harms (physical, social, psychological and environmental) associated with masking healthy people, including the maintenance of inflated levels of fear that will have contributed significantly to the tens-of-thousands of non-Covid excess deaths and the current mental health crisis. Do you believe that a marginal reduction in viral transmission can compensate for this extensive collateral damage?
- If the Government’s behavioural scientists had not promoted masks as a way of increasing a sense of ‘solidarity’ that encouraged general compliance with the COVID-19 restrictions, can you confirm whether you would have changed your advice?
Growing numbers of people would like to hear Whitty’s answers to these important questions. Given the opportunity, I would be very happy to directly put them to our Chief Medical Officer in a public forum. Failing this, maybe a high-profile journalist will rise to the challenge. Ah, we can but dream.

I’m going to read the article after writing this, but: It really doesn’t matter.
People who are afraid that other people being allowed to breathe freely would be just too dangerous for them can effectively protect themselves and these kind of delusions can be treated.
And that’s it.
I think it does matter because the answer will be the same as the answer to the questions as to why he changed his mind on lockdowns, supported vaxxing kids etc. He appears either to have deliberately misled the politicians, or followed malfeasant orders from them, or taken leave of his senses. Whatever the answer is, surely he’s unfit for office. The mechanisms by which the folly and evil were perpetrated may never be known, but we surely would like to know them.
What I’m trying to get at is that this is not a legitimate question. No politician or scientist on this planet has a right to interfere with vital functions of my body, no matter who is convinced of what.
NB: They might have to power to do so, but that’s an entirely different question.
I agree. I would be opposed to mask mandates on principle, regardless of efficacy, as I don’t believe it’s right to force people to protect others from third party harms.
We are mammals living in herds and have been mammals living in herds for hundredthousands of years. 20th-century-crackpots who are convinced that they simply cannot live in such filthy conditions among unsanitized other mammals are free to remove themselves from the herd. It’s unlikely that they’ll be missed much and in this way, everybody gets what he wants.
A conviction like But our nature is very bad for me, is – by defnition – lunacy, ie, being in disgreement with reality (perhaps more evident in German, in the noun Irrsinn — being convinced of something that’s demonstrably wrong).
That depends on whether we have any ‘rights’ – as far as I understand it, Schwab’s plan that all his” Young Leaders” from Davos are all following says we do not – that is why any we might still have are currently under direct assault around the world!
‘Unfit for Office ” but fit for a Knighthood!
In good company with Blair of course.
Like Kill Bill Gates.
Or, promised a pot of gold at the end of all this?
The answer is not in the science. At the beginning of June 2020, weekly death rates were back to normal. Fear was waning. In July, masks were introduced. This ramped up the fear, reduced vitamin D intake and caused other nasty side efects. Whitty & co are intelligent enough to know that this would be the result. One can only surmise that it was intentional.
It enabled the people producing these masks to sell enough of them that their factory workers started complaining about inhuman working conditions while trying to meet the artificially created demand. That’s for certain and entirely damning enough.
September 2020 it was all over – France was virtually normal, then suddenly face masks were made obligatory on the streets for a bewildered populace.
I thought that it was due to pressure from the British Retail Consortium when it was found that the “bounce back” on reopening after the first lockdown wasn’t as big as had been hoped for.
Masks were comfort blankets for nervous shoppers.
I don’t think that argument holds. People could always wear masks if they chose. Normally speaking, that would have removed their fear and BRC need not have been concerned about lack of bounce back. However, the propaganda was based on virtue signalling – that people must wear masks to protect others. That made people fearful of each other: counterproductive and not sales counter productive.
Zombies don’t cease to be afraid when they nappy their own faces. They’ve been trained to recoil in terror from any human face. It’s your face that’s the problem.
My MP informed me, when asked, that it was to make those fearful about going out more confident.
I suspect your MP was primed to say that. It makes no sense. People have usually worn masks for their own protection and never entertained the possibility that their protection depended on others also wearing masks. That was the propaganda – to increase and prolong fear rather than alleviate it.
That’s how it was sold but the reality was quite the opposite. I was working in John Lewis at the time and can testify that footfall dropped very significantly on the day the mandate came into force and the huge optimism of our initial reopening was completely reversed. Nervous shoppers were terrified at the sight of the store transformed into an emergency ward.
Correct. They had to keep the fear going so that when the jabs were produced people would be scared enough to line up to be experimented on.
And here’s what we were told:
https://bannedvideos.co.uk/face-masks-uk-government/
At the No 10 news conference 28 August 2020 Jenny Harries was still stating that there was “no strong evidence for or against” but they were “supportive” ie in a situation in which Whitty et al were trying to make everyone afraid it was signal, a sinister nudge technique. If they had wanted to calm people they would stuck to the theory they were not needed,.
https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3021/rr-2
https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2530/rr-1
They used the same wicked strategy when introducing the vaccines for 12-15 year olds – since the JCVI could not find an adequate reason Whitty and the other CMOs argued that it was of psychological benefit.
This is before she was ‘politically corrected’ and when she still thought we were managing a relatively low mortality risk level virus – not a Globalist ‘power grab’ agenda based on mass vaccination..
Harries appears on a video telling Bozo that masks, outside a sterilised area, could be dangerous because of possible contamination.
These are great questions, which should have been answered before any mandates were ever inflicted upon us.
I will never forget, until the day I die, watching Our Dear Leader Sturgeon telling us frightened little dumb Scots, that she was mandating the use of face coverings, and because she is such a caring, inclusive person, who didn’t want to cause expense to the poorest in society, she explained that you can cut an old t-shirt up and use that.
You couldn’t make it up. But the masses bought it hook, line and sinker. And from that moment on the thought of wearing a face mask felt like tyranny.
she explained that you can cut an old t-shirt up and use that.
That’s like telling people they can re-purpose chicken wire if they can’t afford mosquito nets.
if only the gallows awaited Wee Jimmy Ceaucescu…
Hell awaits. Gallows not essential.
There is no ‘Hell’ – that’s just a concept for religious nutters. And a weak excuse for not doing something in the present.
“Hell awaits them” … yeah, whatever. What really awaits is a decent pension and comfortable lifestyle before they snuff it. I very much doubt if the people making money from the Covid Scam are particularly concerned about going to ‘Hell’.
It was tyranny.
……
Whitty’s political masters required him to conform with the international groupthink that forced the WHO to similarly reverse their guidance.
Surely the answer is that Whitty was under orders or following an evolving ‘agenda’? At various moments of uncertainty during the covid diktats he always came to the aid of the ‘narrative’ notably by inventing ‘asympotomatic transmission’ of an aerosol transmitted virus, a concept ridiculed by senior virologists as never before encountered nonsense .
His calculated ambiguity on safety and desirability of child vaccination served the narrative of pushing the vaccines onto children without regard for myocarditis concerns . His comments on gatherings, social distancing etc serve the narrative not the real science.
I understand he works for the WHO – where Gates is the biggest fund source. Gates is the driving force behind mass Global vaccinations
Whitty was the principal ‘authority’ behind all the questionable repressive measures that challenged ‘common sense’ and took away our freedoms.
For this he was Knighted – what more do we need to say?
Our dear leaders have knowledges we cannot fathom. Trust in collective wisdom, comrades.
Sarcasm aside, the more serious question is why did they allow exemptions if this plague was so serious that a mask mandate was needed?
Psycho states across the world never allowed exemptions.
As to Whitty: amoral careerists like to get ahead evilly.
Q1. Would you wear your handkerchief over your nose and mouth for as much as 12 hours a day?
Q2. When wearing your mask you feel a sneeze coming on. Do you a) take the mask off or b) keep the mask on and sneeze into it?
If option a) can you explain why the mask was needed?
If option b) can you explain how the dried snotty mask now stuck to your face has improved your health?
Q3. *Bonus points* what was all that nonsense about sneezing into the crook of your elbow about? What’s wrong with a tissue?
Option ‘pitstop’: carry fresh masks for such chicanery.
Think I read somewhere 1 disposable mask is used per person per day. If correct over 700 days that’s 49 billion…and counting…UK only.
You can deduct 700 from the total. I have never used one.
48,999,999,300
And half a billion++ boxes of tests, each of which contain lots of little bits of plastic. Wot happened to ‘single use plastic is killing the planet’? Disappeared quicker than PC plod at a BLM rally
Make that -701. I keep one in my jacket pocket but never used it. (It’s probably fused into the pocket material by now.)
-1400
Found this just after posting. Sneezing into your arm with mask still in place. Picture even appears to show empty supermarket shelves in background. My submission for “Covid stupidity awards 2020-2022”.
She knows the mask doesn’t stop the sneeze but cannot transfer that instinctive reaction to the stupidity of wearing the mask in the first place!
“Orders from ‘Experts” above” eliminate instinctive Common Sense.
What % just wore masks to conform, or for fear of being told off by ‘Little Hitlers’ and only pretended they thought they were a ‘good idea’?
Precisely. It’s her face nappy, quite literally. But nappies stop diarrhoea, right?
Nappies leak. Ask any parent faced with a stinking baby to clean up.
‘How to sneeze if you’re caught out while shopping for stuff that’s not there to buy’.
That’s a very, very long list.
Journalists (or spy’s) are just as deep-state as any other high ranking civil servant. I recommend checking the Sheepfarm boys deep dive on Whitty.
Baa..
Face masks were a visible sign of one mind, of tacit agreement to lockdown, to remind us that the virus was always there, always watching. Nothing more. We all know this, and no amount of logical retaliation will work. What’s more, there have been plenty of bogus studies plugged by the media to assert “the science” was always in favour of mask wearing. Absolute nonsense!
There is a strong case for stating that continued mask wearing has been the primary factor in the continuation of the pandemic. Without them, no one would know who was onside…they are, ironically, the real yellow stars. Whoever does not wear one is to be outcast.
Funnily enough, unless I’m mistaken, masks were not universally worn before Autumn 2020: i.e. after the ‘worst’ had ‘passed’.
Indeed the worst had passed – that was their problem!
They needed fear and compliance to push their experimental Gene Therapy mRNA injections, already being lined up.
Forced mask wearing did the trick! Michie was one of the strongest advocates!
I’m reminded of an episode of ‘Dad’s Army’ in which Captain Mainwaring, concerned that the threat of a German invasion is no longer tenable, gets his men to act suspiciously in the hope that people will think enemy agents are in the area and thus the Home Guard needs to be taken more seriously.
“Yes Minister” and “Yes Prime Minister” provide us with a rich source of material for parody of things that have happened over the last couple of years. I particularly like Sir Humphrys explanation of how polls work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GSKwf4AIlI
Good post – it also defines the wearer as either ‘sick’ or in fear of contagion by others – a carrier or potential ‘victim’ of disease!
Very nasty exploitation of behavioural psychology for purely political, not health objectives – especially when you consider Nazi propaganda films levelled at the Jews.
Good luck with this but then, why should they be allowed to escape questionning? As you say the press didn’t do it, they were more a sort of incompetent, complicit enabler. Would Boris have locked down if the press had been more objective and dispassionate?
It’s difficult to see whether Whitty was the ventriloquist or the ventriloquist’s dummy, but I strongly suspect the latter. The question, then, is who or what is the former, and if so, what were the aims to get Whitty to behave and say as he did.
Blackmail? Bribery? Both? Neither?
Can anyone tell me if there were more eminent contenders for his high fillutin’ job: passed over due to too many braincells or too much integrity?
But masks do work. In laboratory settings (except when it is a lab in Wuhan).
Being serious there are several grades of mask. Is P100 the lowest grade that is effective?
So… paper masks and cloth masks do not work…as you were folks .
It’s a pity the rona isn’t radioactive… or smoky… or a pesticide…
No all masking outside of a clinical are useless. Especially the ones I have that have been washed repeatefly. PS even the paper masks can be washed a few times
I am not talking about the masks that are used in industry I.e. dust masks
Cos he’s a pratt?
Wrong speak! You’ll be censored!
I would love to see this human specimen locked down and ‘strongly advised’ to wear a mask all day in his cell.
Whitty and the rest of the self-serving khoziaistvenniks, apparatchiks and technocrat collaborators that make up our puppet regime fell into line when they realised the long planned globalist coup was actually underway.
The COVID hoax was only one step of a long planned demolition of the West, so don’t get lulled into a sense of false hope about “after COVID”. The ruling elite have a whole load of nice surprises lined up for us. Now its onwards to full spectrum surveillance, the total destruction of the economy and complete transformation of society. A new post-democratic order is being imposed out of contrived chaos and things are going to get extraordinarily difficult for ordinary people.
Next up? Take your pick from among many ‘problem-reaction-solution’ scenarios. They have been indoctrinating the masses for years with climate misinformation and their minds are totally pulped, so that means of traducing the West is definitely on the cards – but they can literally make anything can happen.
‘HIV’ pandemic, supply chain breakdown, energy crisis, hyper-inflation, food shortages, government debt bubble, cyber attack, war with Russia/China, seizure of private property, the Great Die Off, alien invasion? Who knows what the Bilderberg/Davos psychopaths have been wargaming?
I suggest people use this time to prepare; which includes getting the hell out of ‘smart cities’, extracting your children from state indoctrination centres and de-programming them, growing your own food, going off grid as far as possible (which means going self employed) and most importantly, find your tribe.
I’m moving towards this position myself. No tinfoil hat needed. It is apparent few western leaders reflect the will of their people in any way. Trudeau being a current example.
The answer is straightforward. Whitty, and others like him, are in prominent positions because they can be expected to maintain a narrative without the need for explicit instruction. That’s what an establishment is. A club where the vetting ensures entry to those who get it and don’t need to be told.
The acceptance within these circles of nudging as reasonable, to keep the plebs on track, is the only evidence we need. The very existence of a behavioural insights team itself within a supposed democracy ran on behalf of the people is an alarm bell so prominent it should be headline news.
Whitty challenged nothing because he is a salesman. While I respect the author’s credentials and sincerity, where is the anger? We all know the script now; covidmania merely made some of it more visible. None of these people work for our benefit, don’t believe they are there to work for our benefit, and view themselves as superior decision makers who feel they have a right to ignore democratic norms for their own benefit, not ours.
Whitty is an actor playing a part for which he is rewarded. Nothing more.
You’re more to likely to have angels fly out of your @rse before Whitty answers any real, pertinent questions.
Demons flying out of one’s nose are proverbial among C programmers. 🙂 But this one is decidedly good as well.
Politicians: “We have a crisis and don’t know what to do! Scientists – we must mould public opinion to make them afraid.”
Scientists: “Here’s a graph, here’s a mask mandate, here’s a scary advert.”
Politicians: “Great. Have a knighthood. But we still have a crisis and don’t know what to do! We must sound out public opinion!”
Opinion Poll: “We are afraid because of the scientists, and because some people aren’t following scary rules.”
Politicians: “Oh dear, listen to the polls! We have a crisis and the public say we need to scare people more” Scientists – we must mould public opinion…” (Rinse and repeat).
Everybody goes mad in a propaganda state – even the propagandists.
A real leader should tell them all to bugger off and announce publicly it is a flu.
The answer is given in Schiller’s William Tell: masks are the perfect Gessler hats, and nothing else.
As if further proof was needed, the current wave of eliminating ‘all’ restrictions excludes the Gessler hats in most countries and in many circumstances, even in the UK.
Germany plans to lift all/most restrictions except masks on March 20. Apparently it is a very difficult decision for the Germany’s enlightened government to do away with the useless mask mandates. Accordingly, it’s every citizen’s obligation to help the government by simply stopping to follow them.
Knowing how the actual “pandemic management” works over here, chances are that two weeks after nobody adheres to the rules, the government will follow with lifting them because of a “scientifically confirmed changed public health situation” or some other such bs.
They’re not a symbol of an authority everybody is supposed to fear and obey uncritically. In the COVID-melodrama, the Geßlerhut would be Sars-CoV2 and the act of donning a mask would be equivalent to greeting the hat. The authority itself is probably the president of China.
Also interesting here: Hide one’s face in shame, ie, cover one’s face in an implicit admission of guilt, is an idiom in English. There’s another, strongly Christian undercurrent here. As human being, I’m guilty of having been born with a body I cannot ever cleanse of parasites which could be harmful for others. Due to this original filthyness stemming from the very fact that I’m alive, I’m supposed to cover my face to own up to it.
It’s also certainly not coincidence that Corona’s witnesses also tried to outlaw sex outside of firmly established relationships.
Yes, if the world really had a “watchdog” press corp, the world would be a far better place. If only every news organization had one or two token real journalists who were not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and/or were not afraid to ask “authorities” some uncomfortable questions.
But, alas, in our “New Normal” those with absolute power never have their extreme power questioned. “Pack journalism” includes a pack that contains no diversity of thought and so the authorized narratives are always promoted and protected.
Until this changes (not very likely), nothing is likely to change.
Excellent starter set of real questions. It is amazing and quite depressing that 24 months into he pandemic none of these questions have been asked of any political leaders or public health officials.
I’d add this question: Why are case, hospitalization and death numbers in Sweden – where almost no one has worn a mask – the same or better than countries that mandates masks? Why have Swedish students and children, who never wore masks and indeed never missed any school – the same or better than children and students throughout the world who HAD to wear masks?
That very question is one I’ve been asking too! Even when Sweden was mentioned as a comparison, at the time – no-one furthered the thought……
All masks are theatrical props. This one is no different. It signals that you are playing a role in a scripted drama. Also. Whitty’s face. No wonder he wants to wear a mask with a dial like that.
Can’t argue with that….
Indeed. As a follow up – a general question:
“Should someone with such wind-driven opinion and maleable and intellectual and ethical principles ever be appointed to the post that Whitty holds – let alone be knighted for it.
Why did he go from telling us this was a mild virus, even put on Gov.UK website and it would affect very few of us, then begin ramping it up into a major and dangerous disease which we needed to shut down society for.
A text from Bill?
Chris Whitty- Government Daily Briefing 11/05/2020.
“A significant proportion of people will not get this virus at all, at any point of the epidemic which is going to go on for a long time.
Of those who do, some of them will get the virus without even knowing it, they will have the virus without even knowing it, they will have the virus with no symptoms at all- asymptomatic carriage, and we know that happens.
Of those that get symptoms, the great majority, probably 80%, will have a mild or moderate disease,-might be bad enough for them to have to go to bed for a few days, not bad enough for them to have go to the doctor.
An unfortunate minority will have to go as far as hospital, but the majority of those will just need oxygen, and will then will leave hospital, and then a minority of those will end up have to go to severe and critical care, and some of those sadly will die, but that’s a minority, it’s 1% or possibly even less than 1% overall, and even in the higher risk group..Uh..this will be significantly less than 20% i.e. the great majority, even the very highest groups, if they catch the virus will not die” (and to date, so it came to pass)
As they are trying to coerce people to have a jab, he and his friends should be coerced into telling us what made them change their minds………
I used to send that clip to arch bedwetters, not one of them could take in what he said
Yet more evidence they need to get their shredders and hard drive erasers going!
They’re burning more files than an SS general on VE-Day, I’ll wager.
The questions assume that reasonable answers could be given, but this misses the point. None of the measures have been based on reason, common sense, or best practice. To avoid cognitive dissonance, Whitty wasn’t asking himself those questions.
A better question would be to ask ourselves how Vallance, Van-Tam, Whitty and Harries got to the positions they did (and then knighthoods etc). How did they attain such lofty posts, promoted all the way to the top? It certainly wasn’t by being honest scientists, it was by delivering what those who could promote them wanted to hear.
Perhaps the most charitable explanation is that those with left wing and progressive ideals saw the mask and the agenda as the ultimate affirmation of the need for a collectivist approach. In the case of an infectious pathogen your health is my health etc. But then there is the much larger force of corporatism where the desire for outward displays of compliance has much darker motives. Naivete combined with cowardice just leads to a grey muck of illogic that is tacitly accepted because it proffers the unthinking delusion of safety in numbers.
“Why did he change his mind” blah blah blah….Because he’s a bought and paid for meat puppet!
I would like to see Dr Jenny Harries asked the same questions – she told Boris to his face that masks were likely to be counter-productive:

Mask comments from 2:37.
I visited a large car dealership yesterday, and one would think it was still late 2020. Masks everywhere, perspex screens everywhere, and tape on the floor! I was even asked to sanitise my car key before handing it over! (I declined). I rocked up bare-faced, and a salesman put a face nappy on as soon as he seen me! PATHETIC.
On a positive note, last Sunday afternoon in a busy supermarket in NW London, mask uptake was probably as low as 10-20%.
And on Friday I was on a few trains/tubes and it was probably 50/50 overall.
Yes Central London public transport 50/50, weirdly I noticed different lines had different ratios. But maskless do not stick out as outcasts on any tubes thankfully

Absolute bullseye and succinct. Love it!

There is no turning this back completely. From the point of view of totalitarianism they have scored a victory. Not just the compliance but the measurement of compliance tells them all they need to know in terms of creating the template and makes them immensely more wealthy. And so it is our duty to ensure that in this age of Hermes we act like quicksilver, changing everything in an instant. Things are changing. Two years ago only a tiny part of the population understood the spiritual impetus behind this agenda. This is growing like popcorn in a microwave. We will all be able to live a lot more peacefully and prosperously when we get this parasite off our back.
Why does Whitless support nappying?
He’s a coward. He’s a liar. He’s an arse-licker. He’s greedy. He’s selfish. He’s a totalitarian bully.
and he’s a complete lart
Cultural trends towards darkness, alienation, the loss of the sense of truth and beauty. Rudolf Steiner talked about it a hundred years ago, the dire state of western man. And we have moved further and further since his time. This is the last chance wake up call. You either get it now or you are well and truly dead.
I was watching one of Portillo’s railway programmes just now. Volunteer life-savers outside on clifftop, nappied. Volunteer life-savers indoors in billiard room, singing a sea shanty, not nappied.
The Science again.
The only question I’d like to ask Whitty is: ‘How in hell did you get to be Chief Medical Officer with such scant regard for science and evidence?’
That’s EXACTLY how you get to be CMO.
“Powerful friends”.
…
I’m struggling to find any evidence for the existence of the 5%.
Why? He saw it in his selfish best interest.
Anybody seen Gollum of late? According to some, it’s been over 4 weeks since the pedo-lookalike was last seen. Hope nothing trivial has happened to him.
Forget about characters like this one because they are going to feed you more. Would you really line up for a second round? Those with intelligence and self-respect wouldn’t.
Further proof of their uselessness.

IN APril we won’t give a toss about such characters things will have moved on. We all need to pay serious attention to our situations.
I’m very happy to report well over 95% of people at the Metrocentre in Gateshead were maskless on Sunday.
They still can’t leave the country without Vaxx Passes or ‘proof of not being infected’ (for which they have to pay).* And how many of them have been ‘vaccinated for Covid’?
And we all know that as soon as Boris snaps his fingers again and tells people that they MUST wear masks, then they’ll be back on in a jiffy – just as I predicted last time.
*unless they fancy going to Norway, apparently, which is all cold and snowy with streets full of ice and slush.
As mask dynamics are studied in the Physics of Fluids, have any of these “experts” bothered to consult a physicist as to the dynamics of masking?
Since none of them even consider the effect from the wicking of droplets by masks, with the consequent impact on evaporation rate, it’s obvious that they have not. (Virus will become aerosolized by masks in microseconds and either inhaled or exhaled. There will be an humidity gradient if the ambient humidity is higher inside the mask as expected, so virus will tend to be exhaled by mask wearers.)
Nor do these “experts” even realize that they are out of field.
Whitty’s private home hard drive should be seized and examined thoroughly.
He possibly lost his marbles but the greater issue was the loss of personal and professional credibility and integrity, never to be regained. Despicable.
My 75 year old aunt texted me last night to tell me she and my uncle tested positive for Covid. I drove to their house at 12:30 AM and dropped off Ivermectin pills, HCQ, zinc, and Quercetin. She told me today her fever came down and that I may have saved her life. Uncle is feeling great. This is considered a negative outcome by the cabal. They would prefer my family dead. Their evil is no longer a theory and very much a reality. You can get your ivm by visiting https://ivmpharmacy.com
Can someone please explain why anyone would down-vote such a positive post? Her relatives got better! How can that be a negative?
The next thing has already started, where they control our money. In Canada they are blocking accounts sending your own money to the truckers, already done it to those who they said tried to invade the White House.
Everyone should go to their banks and withdraw all their cash, in cash. A run on the banks would do nicely.
On another note: I’m in Wales and they have just announced they intend to inject 5 to 11yo with the jab. Can’t believe it has come to this, it must stop. I know some people that have kids here in Wales, is there any type of legal notice that can be given to some of the teachers. I have warned some kids that go to this particular school and I intend to warn some more.
“Can’t believe it has come to this”
Why not? This has been on the cards for months. As you see, no-one stopped the 12-18 year olds from being injected. 0-5 year olds next. It’s all for ‘The Greater Good’ (profits for Pfizer and backhanders to the politicians).
what concerns me is the health implications of continues mask wearing for x number of hours a day in for example the workplace, I would not have thought wearing a cloth and breathing in your own carbon dioxide is very healthy.
Ask these people if they drink their own piss and eat their own shit too. Sorry for being crude but it’s the same thing, a bodily waste product.
Face masks are dehumanising they make me think someone is trying to commit a murder or steal from a shop wearing a black balaclava . I have seen a lot of young men wear a balaclava on the tube and buses in London . I do wonder in future if criminals will be hard to find as masks hide their face , also it must help facial recognition used on train stations to stop criminals only uses the eyes and hair in age of masks that must be very much the agenda ,
The whole point of masks is not to protect others more to cause anxiety fear , and stop us connecting as human beings the globalists know this it is our facial expressions that make us human most daily communication is done by the face mouth talking take it away and you have a society of faceless drones who cannot communicate their feelings, so they all become less human ,
I still see thousands now wear masks outside near my work in Finchley Lots of people were wearing them outside and some looked like they never took them off , also some teenagers about a week ago in a cafe, . I popped in local for a coffee were sitting down all the time some speaking in blue masks this is highly disturbing, they were well under 40 about 15 and no risk to Covid a disease of the old and obese yet so many people my age 29 some work colleagues watch the BBC , Sky News , Channel 4 , and still believe the narrative , of 100,60,000 deaths from Covid and masks work at drop virus transmission and three vaccines work so why not have more .
I asked a woman a week ago at work when will you stop wearing masks there was no clear answer they were early thirties, no underlying health issues lived with their boyfriend when I said have you read any long term studies that prove masks actually work at stopping virus particles , like Denmark random control study they had no idea the answer was more or less if makes others feel safer what is the problem, I had to laugh they have Given up freedom for safety.
Also I went out Saturday a vegan Meetup around Brixton I have been to with two friends before since 2017 three people wore masks not arriving one carried a black mask in his hand he was a nice guy I hoped he had given up the mask after the mandate lifted he was not a friend and I do not remember getting his number yet some still seem to not want to give up the mask it is astonishing . I met him first at a potluck bring your own vegan food so I made vegan tuna and sweetcorn pasta bake it was Finsbury Park inside the Van Gogh cafe walking inside he wore masks walking in with a woman he got on very well with she wore one walking in as well then took it off sitting down insane you do not have to wear masks in cafes in England . I have been on various 6 mile hikes with people early thirties more near my age I am 30 in May too about sixties , seventies some wore masks on particular Meetup recently a vegetarian vegan India place in Islington, one woman arrived with her mask on she never removed and it pulled it down
to eat then put it back on insane
she wore it talking to three people she was sitting next to me she was about early fifties how can you talk for two hours wearing a face mask, I only caught a glimpse of her face she said she was from Canada and was half dutch she had family in Holland I have also been on 1/2 mile walks one particular one in September 2020 when it was only 6 in a group outside or 30 outside this was before the rule of six
a woman called Beatrice on another walk was organising the walk it was in Ealing it was 8 miles so quite a lot she wore a mask a like gas mask the whole through it was pretty funny in the end only about four of us went to the pub about 21 people came , or 25 but were too scared, someone wore the mask a woman from Greece around early sixties the whole time in the park walking .
I also went on a Meetup some have the blue mask down the chin it was a long walk in Wimbledon Ken’s walks . I asked a man mid fifties why are you wearing a mask on the train now the mandate has been lifted I said we need to get back to normal and socialise , his response he did not want to be told off on the train though in England I have been too Primark new look Bychole regularly going out since August 2020 with friends some outdoor groups once I say I have a exemption no tube driver police man shop assistant said anything I have never been questioned , I also take the bus to work no assistance polices the transport network the same when I went out to go too out too a shopping centre to Brent Cross with four friends on New Years Eve no one said anything and never have seen a policeman except one time in December 2020 policemen were policing the trains on the way to work I said I was exempt I showed my lanyard saying I had a hidden disability and could not wear a mask thank you for your understanding, in Brent Cross it was a nightmare all shoppers were masked except Eastern Europeans me and my friends every shop New look Marks and Spencer Footlocker all the staff were masked though shop workers did not have to wear them supermarket, retail workers clothes shop workers from July 2020 I believe on July 19th 2021 after restrictions were gone some shop assistants did not have to wear them some shoppers make people wear one my supermarket does well it is suppose to but I cannot wear one or breathe in one a lot of staff wear a lanyard some and we serve people who say they are exempt.
I’ve never worn a mask on the tube and never been challenged by anyone. The worst that’s ever happened is I got ‘evils’ from some maskoid woman, and some other maskoid sat down next to me then moved when she saw I was a free-facer. I just smiled at them.
Masks are a public menace. They are a psychological crime, they are a crime against children, they are an environmental crime, they are a crime against reason, they are a crime against science, they are a crime against health. They litter every pavement, they clog every drain, they lie in corridors at the end of every school day. They are medieval in justification, fascist in utility, and totalitarian in conformity. They are divisive, they are talismans, they are artefacts of oppression, and tokens of discrimination.
The questions posed to Whitty in this article are a good start but we need a forensic investigation into the timeline of their emergence globally. Who was taking advice from whom exactly and when? This is one of several Corona crimes that must be traced to its source. That source has a fuckload to answer for.
And, of course, if they really WERE effective, then there’d be hazardous waste bins all over the place, with dire warnings.
I’ve been arguing that the masks must be a bio hazard if they’re so effective, so how come you can just dump them in any old bin?
Excerpt from a response I got to an Official Information Act request here in New Zealand about the scientific evidence for our face mask mandates on public transport back in April 2021. They have of course been greatly widened since then.
“Maintaining the requirement for face coverings on public transport in Alert Level 1 provides wider benefits that support the overall response to the pandemic. For example, face coverings are a constant reminder of the ongoing threat posed by COVID-19 and will help prompt people to be more vigilant about other important behaviours, such as physical distancing, scanning using the New Zealand COVID Tracer App, hand hygiene and coughing and sneezing etiquette. Familiarity with using face coverings also supports community preparedness and may help to limit transmission of COVID-19 in the event of any subsequent community outbreak where transmission may have been undetected for a time. ” In other words – mask mandates are to keep people fearful in order to “nudge” them into certain behaviours. They are also in place so that people get used to wearing them for when in they future they are considered more needed. I didn’t get a clear answer on the science behind their effectiveness, other than a Swiss cheese model cartoon, with mask wearing as one of the slices.
I had this from Voices For Freedom (New Zealand)- an excellent group:
https://odysee.com/@voicesforfreedom:6/mask-mandates:3
Yes they are wonderful. I honestly don’t know where we would be without these three brave women starting up this group.
The other irony in this response is the statement “undetected for some time”. If it’s “undetected for some time” doesn’t that indicate that it’s not a problem? It reminds me of this: “As I was going down the stair I met a man who wasn’t there. He wasn’t there again today, oh how I wish he’d go away”
Why? Because he’s a copper bottomed hypocrite with the backbone of an amoeba.
With the legal requirement for masking currently removed, it’s the many places that want to retain them that are the problem. We all know about supermarkets, but academic institutions can be worse. I am engaged in long-running battle with the RNCM (Music College) in Manchester about their requirement to wear a mask whilst watching a performance – – they have a superb programme of events open to the public, but I won’t go until I can be mask-free. They won’t even discuss this until Easter at the earliest.
I was just reading that, at the American Superbowl, celebrities went maskless, despite a mandate to wear them, and after many had damned others for not doing so. And the National Youth Orchestra had to play – muzzled.

Aha ! Chris Whitty again! I wonder if Billy Hunt has had his Three Jabs…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpCxpmegbnE
I’m pretty sure I saw Whitty being interviewed early on and he was asked what had changed in relation to the science…his answer…the science hasn’t changed, policy has…..one of the reasons I started thinking all was not as it seemed!
The Health Foundation Covid Policy Tracker……this is a good source for looking at each policy as it came out…easy way to follow ‘the narrative’ timeline.

better link, I hope…
Whitty hasn’t been seen for weeks. He did the job required of him and now appears to have been put back in his box.
He will never answer these questions, or any others, until the Public Inquiry is held and by then the people responsible for the destruction of our Civil Liberties over a Low Consequence Infectious Disease will have agreed what their responses will be.
No-one will be held to account. But we will be assured that “lessons will be learnt.”
Masks indicate compliance. That’s all.
I haven’t worn one yet, I have no intention of wearing one in the future. Not jabbed. Still not dead.
Why did he? Probably because he was told to.
Remember what he said back in May of 2020 before he changed his tune? ”UK Government confirms Covid19 harmless to VAST MAJORITY of people”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adj8MCsZKlg&feature=youtu.be
He changed his mind after Valance discussion telephone call with Fauci, when they agreed to go along with the plans to use this manufactured pandemic to introduce the new style vaccines. SAGE were used to propagate fear to incite the populations into taking the vaccines. JennyHarries etc all changed their tune right at this time. They have done this for ego and money, because otherwise the time taken to approve these vaccine would have taken at least another decade. The responsibility for the chaos the world is in is purely and simply down to the unbounded arrogance, and stupidity, of these people who could not and did not see the effects they would cause. Too late now, though they should face retribution for the consequences of their quite deliberate action.
You do them FAR too much credit! Of COURSE they could see the effects they would cause. And that’s what makes them even more evil.
I recall reading somewhere, a year or so ago, that many more children were presenting with bacterial respiratory problems. Not much more was said since then.
Here’s an interesting short video about masks from New Zealand (Voices For Freedom). ”Mask Mandates Exposed”.
https://odysee.com/@voicesforfreedom:6/mask-mandates:3
Tut tut- don’t you know that ‘Questions are a burden to others, the answers a prison for oneself’?
I recently had 24 hours in hospital and the ubiquity of masks made the experience worse by several orders of magnitude. Staff may as well have not spoken. If they were giving essential info I wasn’t receiving it.
have we NOT had enough of this man!?? it’s passed Malfeasance hasn’t it?? it all deliberate & international causing injuries & endangering people’s & particularly our Children’s lives. I have had enough of these creatures….
Someone remind me please, what did Sir Whitty Chief Medical Officer for England and Chief Medical Adviser to the UK Government do exactly, to earn his title? I’m still struggling with it.
Not just Whitty, but also Dr Jenny Harries who in March 2020 stated that masks should not be made compulsory a nd words to the effect that they were not effective etc. In Sept. 2020 she made a statement saying the exact opposite! I heard both on the BBC, I assumed the latter was the political statement.
I am in hospital and never wear a mask!
Because he’s a crook.
Those eight questions are the same type of questions I would ask, and have been saying for the past two years and since. I have to bite my tongue when I see people still wearing cloth masks in the many places I see them. Why, why and why?
