The rise of the Science Kardashians:
‘An unspoken casualty of Covid-19 is the civil debate over public health policy. It effectively flatlined in 2020, and two years later it shows no signs of life.
…
‘After the spring 2020 lockdowns, public health scientists split into two camps, each with their own ideas on how best to deal with the pandemic. The groups can be loosely categorized as either advocating a focused protection approach or “effective measures that suppress and control transmission,” including lockdowns.
…
‘[E]ach group distilled its ideas in online statements that allowed others to add their signatures in support, similar to petitions. The focused protection group produced the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD), and the pro-restrictions group composed the John Snow Memorandum (JSM). Presently, the Great Barrington Declaration lists 925,000 signatories. The John Snow Memorandum lists 4,200.’

If you’re incurious enough to have your child jabbed before learning more about the risks, then you probably shouldn’t be looking after kids.
As ever, one can only pity the children.
On Dr John Campbell’s YT channel last night he referenced an email he’d had from a nurse of ’30 years experience’ who took her 12-year-old son for a jab. Her main worry was the flat refusal of the jabber (and his/her superior) to countenance ‘aspiration’ before the injection was given.
That an experienced health professional thought that was the main problem regarding vaccination of a young person against a non-threat further undermines my level of trust in these people.
John Campbell has pushed the idea of ‘aspiration’ of the syringe relentlessly, (who knows why!) giving the erroneous impression that failure to apply this Nursing 101 technique is the only problem with the jab and that this simple procedure is causing any harms virtually single-handed. So blame the jabbers and not Fauci’s uber corrupt pharma and captured agencies, unis, health services. It’s a curious line to take. It’s the stupid nurses wot dun it.
It’s a curious line to take.
It is indeed, for emphasis, not a cut and paste problem, ‘a curious line to take’. Typing 101.
My impression is that he’s been careful not to have his channel cancelled. I think he’s a lot more sceptical than he’s shown thus far, although it seems undeniable that he’s a huge vaccine fan. If I could be bothered, I might add a comment beneath his videos that he never mentions any concern about long-term effects.
Still, the more sceptics (of various levels of commitment) the better.
I forgot to add that, regarding aspiration before injecting, Campbell has pointed out that Sweden (where they aspirate) has experienced considerably fewer reported vax adverse reactions per 100,000 jabs than Norway (where they don’t).
Perhaps the most open admission yet by the government that the ‘vaccine’ can be extremely dangerous is this new NHS job advert.
Looks to me like they’re paying people for their silence. What good is a one-off payment when your life has been ruined by an injection that you were coerced to have?
And how sick are these scumbags, introducing the coercion to 5-11 year olds at the same time as advertising this job?
be interesting to see what the qualifying bar is for a payout, the state would have stacked the odds in their favour.
There are “multiple” caseworkers needed to deal with reports of “vaccine” damage? How can that be? They are “safe and effective”.
Would someone from the BBC (a “trusted news source”) like to check it out for us?
Ooh look, they’re still using “BAME” (i.e. coloured)! Is this an oversight?
At first I thought that since the jabs are all safe and effective, there would be no need for anyone to apply for this self-evidently totally redundant job. But then I read down to:
“We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. With wellbeing and inclusion central to our ethos, our BAME, Disability and Neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, Armed Forces and Women’s networks help our colleagues to be their authentic selves at work.”
Aha. Now we can see who the post is aimed at. People who need to be their authentic selves with the help of this army of “networks”. In other words, people in non-jobs helping others to do non-jobs.
I thought helping sick people was central to the NHS ethos?
Ooh, that’s an old fashioned view, if I may say so. Go and stand in the corner!
The past 24 months has convinced me otherwise. The bodies have piled up (while being mis-attributed).
Assisting the employers of low paid immigrants is the main ethos
What is your “authentic self”, I ask wearily.
What I used to think of as management gobbledygook and bollox, I suppose.
“No, I can’t have that report ready by tomorrow; I’m busy helping others to be their authentic selves!”
“Your comments about my being lazy are disrespectful to my authentic self (sob!)”
Etc etc etc…..
When I last tried the ‘authentic self’ spiel, Mrs Dee threatened to put me outside in the rain, sans overcoat and cap.
Sometimes I prefer the “public” “sector” “worker” to be authentically lazy as then they stay out of the way.
There was a big fuss when Whitty said it was a Good Thing to jab the 12-18 year olds for ‘Covid’. I’ve never read how many kids of this age group got jabbed – and, anyway, whose statistics an you believe these days? And kids got jabbed. Isn’t this age group in for a second round nowadays?
The 5-11 year olds will make more profits for Pfizer & pals. Will parents refuse? Some will, but the majority won’t. That’s all there is to it, really.
The big issue is people glancing at their Vaxx Passes and worried about the expiry date, and when is the 4th jab going to made available so they can keep their Passes valid.
February 16th 2022 today – and The Great Covid Scam continues unhindered. Not a single person running the scam has been brought to account – not one.
Probably none will be brought to account in our lifetime most probably, but at least they seem to be realising there are limits as to what they can get away with. And that realisation has come because of active and passive resistance from people, each in their own way. Many have not resisted, others have not resisted with enough vigour, but that doesn’t mean it’s all in vain and it doesn’t make attempts to resist pointless. Doing the right thing is never pointless.
And predicting the future is an unreliable and often foolish business. We just don’t know – for worse, and for better.
2020 taught me that there were more evil people than I had realised; and more lazy, stupid and cowardly ones, too.
But despair is never the answer. It incapacitates.
So we keep on resisting and working, because you never know. There are unexpected victories, as well as unexpected defeats.
I’m halfway through the Kennedy Jr. book on Fauci and pals, and spending most of the day wondering how they expect to get away with it.
The accusations are so specific and so damning that there seems only one explanation as to why Kennedy hasn’t been sued for defamation.
Well, it works for Royals, so why not?
Oh they admitted this way back.

“II.2.4)
Description of the procurement:
The MHRA urgently seeks an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software tool to process the expected high volume of Covid-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction (ADRs) and ensure that no details from the ADRs’ reaction text are missed.”
October 2020.
its disturbing that people who donated to the convey have had their details leaked and shared around, its not a crime to donate to the trucker protest despite canada and its tin pot nutjob attempting to frame it otherwise. When you consider the money BLM racked up in a couple of yrs, just goes to show the double standards. Also, this Woke virus is worse than an actual virus, the way it makes believers behave.
Yes it is a crime, they’re truckers peacefully blocking a highway rather than Indian farmers. And misogynist, racist far right truckers to boot. Makes all the difference…
Trudeau has long been an intolerant blighter. The very epitome of “scratch a liberal, find a fascist”.
I’m still hoping that Trudeau will lie down in front of a truck as his own form of counter-protest.
Does anyone know a good source of peer reviewed studies showing covid “vaccine” harm please? (Asking for a “friend” who apparently believes recent increases in myocarditis etc.(including medical events at sports stadia and among sportsmen) are caused by “covid” as the “vaccines” are ‘safe and effective’, and that most sources suggesting otherwise are not actual evidence).
I wish I had kept a file. Peter McCullough’s papers and their references would be a good place to start?
What I would like to know is if anyone trustworthy has analyzed the efficacy of the vaccines in preventing serious illness and death, which is what so many of the jabbed now confidently (and forgetfully) claim was their only expectation from the beginning.
I think I’ve already referenced a Peter McCullough article (about myocarditis from the “vaccines” being more severe than myocarditis from “covid” AIR). Not actual evidence apparently. But the Oxford study (part sponsored by the big pharma linked Cancer Research UK) does count as actual evidence – but apparently doesn’t prove anything about myocarditis from covid “vaccines” in young males. The point is, is there any way of getting through to these people?
The thing that really irritates me is the difficulty of obtaining high quality statistical information so I can easily analyse what is going on myself. I track some of the Worldometer data, but this is only a small part of the picture. To get detailed mortality data giving age, medical status, sex, and so on, is a nightmare. And there is all this stuff about counting people as “unvaccinated” within 2 weeks of a dose to further muddy the waters (of course, I can refer to Professor Norman Fenton, but he’s not actual evidence either, you see). Really, the obfuscation around statistics is a bit of a scandal. And possibly intentionally so. Or am I being too cynical?
Doesn’t matter what ‘evidence’ you dig up, most people are not going to be persuaded one way or the other by looking at graphs and statistics. The Government and the NHS and so many other people say there’s a dangerous virus on the loose, and that face masks must be worn, and ‘vaccines’ taken, and that’s about it, really.
SAGE have done a great job in labelling those who question as ‘deranged anti-vaxxers’ and you will never get through to people with IQs of 50.
My guess is that most people who have had the ‘vaccines’ haven’t died – I don’t know of any. I know the odd footballer gets mentioned here, but everyone I ‘know’ (such as the people who work in our local shops) are still alive and ‘well’ – no dead bodies littering the streets from Covid nor the ‘vaccines’. No sign of the ‘ADE’ that everyone was going to be sorry about BEFORE last Christmas… yeah, I know, it’s going to “come later”… (just like the Nuremburg 2 lawyers!).
Looks to me like the jabbing is just going to keep on rolling, and Vaxx Passes are here to stay. There are some people saying”It’s all over” and I suppose it is for some elderly folk who just toddle off to the pub without a face mask, they are not really affected if that’s their way of life, supping at a table in Wetherspoon’s.
Agreed. Logic and reason don’t work on morons. Play on the same level as the government – play back UK column Monday episode from around 50ish minutes. It is the comedian ranting about vaccines before immediately having a heart attack.
Alas, it is not only those with low IQs but also those with supposedly very high IQs. The question is why ? Well, the strategy of Mass Psychosis employed by the behavioural psychologists used by various governments around the world goes a good way in explaining how.
There is nothing new in this Edward Bernays ( Freuds nephew) wrote a very revealing book long long ago called Propaganda which has been the bible of propagandists ever since !
A high IQ appears to be no protection against gullibility, irrational fear or dishonesty or cowardice or greed
I’ve been checking my file, but they are from all over the place – agree McCullough is an excellent start. Would your friend be interested by the official warning re myocarditis issued by the Japanese government?
See https://pj.jiho.jp/article/245733
I very much doubt it. I think I’ve tried HART as well but it was no go. I get the sense that if the government or the BBC said it it would help. And smoking gun evidence from studies by top UK universities is always worth a try. I was watching the BBC piece on “why Novak is wrong” last night though. Full on propaganda mode, it struck me, not even a pretence of impartiality from the BBC reporter (as so often). This, and so much more, is what we’re up against. An unequal struggle, I’m afraid. Big pharma have been setting the agenda for a long time, and all the scandals seem to make little difference.
You might find something among this little lot;https://www.informedchoiceaustralia.com/post/1000-peer-reviewed-studies-questioning-covid-19-vaccine-safety
It seems to me to be futile to trawl through reams and reams of ‘evidence’ from all kinds of weird & wonderful ‘sources’ to try to bring someone round to the idea that this has all been a gigantic fraud – my guess is that at the end of the day, after hours and days of talking about it, and possibly coming round to agreeing with you… as soon as someone snaps their fingers and tells them to put their face mask back on, they’ll be fumbling with the straps in their act of obedience.
Ok then, we’ll just give up and accept defeat and moan about it incessantly then.
The Fox Method!
Fighting with the wrong strategy is not the only strategy. Nor indeed the best strategy.
Did Sun Tzu say that?
Too cryptic for me. What are the “wrong” and “right” strategies?
Using the term “safe and effective” to promote the product on offer is oxymoronic. From the perspective of someone who has spent decades working with high integrity systems, in which the terminology “safety integrity level (SIL)” is used in the context of risk management (look up the term mentioned), the whole thing is rather glib.
Perhaps it’s normal to get away with it in medicine – after all, when we are seriously ill, the risk calculation is rather different, but flogging products to normal people along those lines is not a good idea.
Not oxy, just moronic.
It would be interesting to have a formal risk review using SIL and see where the ‘jabbing kids’ thing came out.
Probably, that’s why they just rely on Whitty murmuring that it’s ‘OK’.
Ok, please stand back a little I’m gonna need a little room here for my spray. Your ‘friend’. I know your friend. Standing on their little moral high horse, holding forth in that way of talking that they have. Part sneer, part smart-alec. All regurgitated phrases and heard-it-all-before sighs and eye-rolls. Considers themselves very well informed. Looks at you with this particular look of pity and contempt. And you, trying to do this right, think that waving a ‘peer-reviewed’ paper at them is going to reduce your so-called friend to a blabbering mess of realisation of how wrong they were. Not going to happen. You could drop a library of peer reviewed papers on this doofus’ head and they will bounce right off, because this is a deep-grained industrial level of stupidity we are dealing with here. A lifetime of carefully staying within the lane, listening to the government media, watching tv. Your so-called friend is a gaping black hole of ignorance that nothing will ever fill. My advice to you is not to point you to all the papers, that is not going to make the slightest lick of difference, my advice to you is to sit your friend down, look them in the eye, and say to them in slow clear syllables: you’re an idiot. Then get up, toss ten quid on the table to cover the coffees and walk out, without even looking back.
I thought that the friend sounded more like the trusting-but-traumatised sorts that I meet every day. The proposition that they may have made an unimaginable mistake is just too much to process.
Hi Hugh here’s a link to a list of ONE THOUSAND peer reviewed studies questioning Covid19 Vaccine Safety https://www.informedchoiceaustralia.com/post/1000-peer-reviewed-studies-questioning-covid-19-vaccine-safety
The friend on being presented with a list of 1,000 peer reviewed articles: ‘Too long, have you got something a little easier to read?’
Kennedy Jr.’s book?
I shared this 2 hours ago. See above! lol
You could get them a regular subscription of the Light paper! Lots of studies featured in there. They may actually start to read it and understand the bigger picture. But I doubt it. In the old world our friends talked to us and we shared differing opinions like adults. Now we have their petulant highway or no way attitude. I really wouldn’t bother wasting your energy. The heels are dug and cemented into ground now.The truth will roll round soon enough. Always stand in your truth. That’s what they really don’t like it or understand. It bothers them you probably already know much more than they do, and denial is the only weapon they’ve got.
Your friend obviously doesn’t believe that the vaxxes work, then? Or hasn’t he/she yet processed that conclusion?
Archbishop Justin Wannabe: “I am not the Pope.”
Neither is Jorge Bergolio!
Two peas in a pod.
Ah, a sedevacantist?
I suppose it’s a good thing that Archbishop Justin can’t impose a “vaccine” passport on England like the Pope did with the Vatican City. I try to be charitable with our Christian leaders, but that bit did worry me.
You think Jellybaby is a Christian? That is charity indeed.
I see the Phantom Downvoter paid you a visit. Good triggering, in only three short sentences.
“Sally and Nigel Rowe were told by their sons’ headteacher that pupils could be seen as transphobic if they were unable “to believe a transgender person is a ‘real’ male or female”, reports the Mail”
well I see,
one way ticket off the earth please
It’s really becoming a parody of itself now isn’t it? At least Trudeau is giving that mob a bad name.
Sometimes I long for the good old days back in 2009 when you still had male and female…
I think you do still have male and female. You just have to look harder to find them.
No, it’s quite simple. Just because that child in a dress happened to be assigned at birth with one of those p e n i s thingies, does not make it a boy. The fact that it wants to wear a dress proves it is a girl. That’s how you tell the difference. Except there isn’t any difference. Unless you are transphobic, which is just a very, very bad thing to be, in all sorts of ways.
Get it now? Do try to keep up.
Why are schools even messing about with this sort of thing for 6 year olds, for heaven’s sake? It cannot possibly be of interest to 6 year olds.
When I was 6, I was enjoying Enid Blyton books, and believed in Father Christmas, and fairies and elves at the bottom of the garden.
Talk of transgender stuff would have been puzzling and a little frightening to me. But then parents in those days would never have permitted that sort of thing.
In order to fulfil quotas, the Famous Five would now need to be the Famous Twenty Six, and even that would eliminate the ‘+’ and undecided types.
Gurglepifflewhat? Does not compute, core breach, engines gonna blow, cap’n!

‘Thank you for reading this article. We didn’t think it was worth your while, but if you did, then that’s all to the good.’

Look, I got this from my doctor’s email:
”Why are more young women losing their periods due to restrictive diets and excessive exercise?
Experts have become alarmed by the increasing number of people losing their periods as a result of restrictive dieting and excessive exercise.
Oh well, if that’s the reason, nothing to worry about.
It’s true that anorexic girls stop having periods. That’s been known for 40- odd years. The average girl / young woman won’t be affected. Why all the fuss now, has something different come into play in the last year, I wonder?
And, oh, “people” losing their periods???
I haven’t had one since I can remember. (Although that doesn’t extend beyond last week.)
People who go through menopause cam have that problem.
A girl would have to be under 7 stone or with very low body fat, ie gymnast, ballet dancer etc for that to happen. Or entering premature menopause, as no period means she is not ovulating.
Why are more young women becoming porkers due to lockdowns and TV dinners?
Presumably, it’s to balance out those losing body mass due to starving and over-exercising?
The report from Newsweek relating to the suspension of the GiveSendGo website is out of date. They are up and running again !
https://www.givesendgo.com/freedomconvoy2022
Patient dies due to misheard 15mg dose being administered as 50mg.
In a highly-technical environment, with lives at stake, it’s quite chilling to think that two intelligent, qualified professionals wearing masks would not manage to communicate the instruction as ’15mg – that’s one, five…’
Sad that someone had to die to underline that communication suffered because of face nappies.
I wonder if either or both of them isn’t a native English speaker.
And whether their qualifications are equal to those of medics trained here.
Basic human factors. A huge proportion of our communication is non-verbal, even face to face. We all lip read,even with perfect hearing, as it enhances accuracy of interpretation of what we are hearing.
Masking people, in potentially noisy, busy, stressful environments reduces situational awareness, increases workload, and increases the likelihood of error. Increased stress and physical discomfort leads to attentional narrowing, further increasing likelihood of error.
Putting untrained people into a new communications environment, without communication protocols to manage the accuracy of message transmissions, is asking for trouble.
Reference to the French vaccine ‘rules’.
Entry to the country is (mainly) governed by the EU 9 month rule, ie you need booster within 9 months of 2nd jab ( or 1st Janssen). But internally to use bars/restaurants etc you need it within 4 months.
The EU entry rule allows you to enter from ‘green’ country ( ie mainly EU/EEA) and no jabs with a 48 hour ‘kebab nose stick'( antigen). And now unjabbed from ‘orange’ countries ( everywhere else) can also enter with 48 hr kabab stick. But internally kebab sticks are no longer allowed for entry to bars etc.
Are you following so far?
Masks are now no longer necessary in ( most) indoor areas which require the internal pass, but they are compulsary for indoor areas that don’t require the internal pass.
Given what is now common knowledge of the infection/transmission ability of the jabs this is just silly.
I have discovered a little problem with these contrived rules that somebody will question quite quickly I think from US or maybe UK. The EU rules ( and the French border rules) state that booster jabs have to be those agreed by the EMA. The French border rules have ‘hard wired’ the boosters as having to be mRNA ones in their wording. However the forms to be completed by anyone actually crossing the border state they have to be ones agreed by the EMA. The EMA agreed that a second Janssen jab as a booster in December. So someone coming from the US ( where Janssen is available as booster) could justifiably say that they were meeting the EU criteria but the French ‘may’ not agree.
I labour this point because its an example of the idiocy of the rules surrounding travel which is manifestly amplified beyond belief by the French. They continue to forbid EXIT from their country to most of the world if you are not ‘fully vaccinated’ ie no booster jab within 9 months of the last of the two ( or one Janssen). Why? Only some neurotic idiot in the bowels of the French system could possibly know.
So in summary , you can enter France from anywhere unjabbed with 48 hr kebab stick, but you can’t use that to get into indoor areas, and you definitely cannot use that to exit the country ( except for somewhere else in Europe).
Makes perfect sense, non?
The Guardian piece lists good points and many valid and main reasons for our scepticism.
These points are also the reasons why the premise and conclusion stated by its author aren’t and can’t be accepted by the sceptics.
Strangrly, he fails to realize just this.
Maybe this piece, or the weekly UKHSA data analysis here, can help him and his Covidian readers to do so.

The one word that sums up “Public Health” in 2022?
“Untrustworthy”
“Public Health” has suffered from increasing and now severe vaccine myopia since the “prevention” program rose to power in the CDC.
Their one-sided thinking was fairly restricted to pediatrics but now has infected allopathic medicine.
Why are they untrustworthy?
For me, it’s because they willfully ignore evidence that challenges their policy positions. Worse, they work to destroy it (targeting papers for retraction, and peoples’ reputations).
They lie to themselves.
Their disdain for evidence that runs counter to their narrative places them outside of the demarcation zone of Science.”
Um, it’s “Health SECURITY” now, not “Public Health”.
Do keep up
I fear that this unusually comprehensive and clear-eyed account of the many reasons to distrust the health authorities and refuse the vax, far from enlightening the pro-vaxxers, will instead, by listing and referencing the points so fully, pre-emptively defang/take the sting out of our arguments … ie that one of us mentioning any of the points listed in the article is now likely to be answered with “yes, I know all about that, I’ve read about that, but the vaccine is still a good idea”, *because* the author starts off saying that and ends the article saying that.
The pro-vaxxers will see this article as proof that *despite* all of the problems, “mistakes”, u-turns, mixed messages, the adverse events data, etc etc etc, the vaccines are still a good thing. They will have been “armoured” against our arguments.
In other words I think that this is yet more propaganda, if slightly more subtle/sophisticated/double layered than usual.
PS. Like a variation on the heart attack articles appearing everywhere. They aren’t trying to hide the data anymore, they can’t, but instead they’re saying, look it’s normal, there’s no problem with this.
“Wales becomes the first U.K. nation to announce it will vaccinate the younger age group, reports BBC News”
Child abuse.
Pure and simple
Large stash of Covid related documents, inc. med papers and article, collected over the past 12 months, can be found here.
Spread them far and wide….

Unsorted, but all sorts of crucial stuff there
I want to really recommend the Guardian article on why people are vaccine hesitant. It is an honest and charitable look. Speaking as someone who took his two doses last Spring (but is not getting boosted until absolutely required), many of those comments fit my own.
Most people don’t realise that if you suffer an injury from the vaccines (or a loved one dies), you cannot pursue recompense from Pfizer et al. They are protected in the US by the FDA’s Emergency approval. So of course they keep pushing more jabs to young and younger ages. Its all cash as far as the eye can see and if people drop dead…who cares.
No one knows the impact 2, 5, or 10 years down the line from these vaccines (and if they don’t stop infections at all anymore, do they still qualify as vaccines, not simply medicines). They cannot know, because we raced to bring them to market. Likely hundreds of thousands of lives globally have been saved. Perhaps that makes the lives lost or damaged now or in the future by them acceptable (though given the age disparity between the two groups, that is hard to argue). But when public officials, in positions of trust, tell you to get vaccinated and you suffer injury or death…shouldn’t someone pay for that? So I once again propose that anyone who is harmed by a vaccine should cause an assault or manslaughter count to be leveled at the chief medical officer. In the US, our old friend Fauci. Here, Whitty.
Now, if they were going to spend years behind bars for such, do you think they would be telling people to run out and get boosted? For kids five to eleven who face more likelihood of death by lightning than Covid? Somehow me thinks that policy would look differently.
I’ve just posted this in reply to an earlier comment here about this article:

The fact that all major world governments (except one in Eastern Europe, I think, which amazingly Pfizer won’t sell their ‘vaccine’ to as a result) have indemnified all the vaccine producers who have been given the emergency ok to use them shows us who haven’t been vaccinated against COVID exactly why we should be hesitatnt.
What a LOT of people also don’t know is that no vaccine has been authorised for use without that protection in the Industrialised wolrd for nigh on 40 years, precisely because beforehand, the big pharmacutical firms were in dire financial straights because they kept getting successfully sued for – yes, you’ve guessed it, significant adverse reactions / side effects from the vaccines as well as many other medicines – the difference being vaccines will be far more widely distributed and thus larger/more claims.
This is even more true for hastily-developed vaccines to ‘counter’ epidemics and now pandemics. Look at what happened with the Swine Flu vaccine and those healthcarre workers in the UK who were used, in my view, as effective test subjects back in 2010. No joy for them even today, and the taxpayer picks up the tab for any treatments of the afflicted.
Meanwhile, Big Pharma continues to rake in $Bns in profits, despite being fined similar amounts on a regular basis (including in 2020) for dodgy, unethical and often downright illegal practices, including (if I recall correctly) falsifying clinical trials and covering up adverse results afterwards.
Nice bunch, and to think billionairres like Bill Gates is now making even MORE money and gaining more influence and power over ordinary people by involving himself and his investments in them, but IMHO using his ‘Foundation’ as a front to drum up business for many decades to come, as well as to further his (IMHO) eugenics / population reduction agenda.
I see that the Daily Telegraph is now joining in the smearing of the Canadian trucker protests:

I’m happy to say that as (for once), this (IMHO) hit piece allows reader comments, they are taking FULL advantage to rubbish this article, especially when there is little to no reporting of Trudeau’s insane policy change to take funding away by freezing bank accounts of ordinary citizens without due cause, as if they are in a war situation.
