We’re publishing a piece today by Cornwall resident Natalie White on the appalling conditions suffered by care home residents in the county during the pandemic and the unmanageable pressures staff were forced to work under. Then along came the vaccine mandate.
The care homes faced increasing pressure to take more and more people to free up beds from the hospitals. Unable to cope, some care homes started giving the sedative Midazolam to residents.
“They’re dishing them out like smarties,” one friend told me as she sniffed back tears. “We just can’t cope. It’s the only way to get on top of everything.”
Patients with dementia, who can often become frustrated, angry and confused, and prone to wandering off, were often dosed with Midazolam, but it wasn’t long before some care staff were being bullied to give them to all residents. According to the Daily Mail, “out-of-hospital prescribing of the drug midazolam increased by more than 100%” in April 2020. It is thought by some that this was a deliberate attempt to euthanise the elderly, but that’s disputed by those I’ve spoken to in the sector.
“It was never the intention to harm or kill anybody,” I was told. “I don’t know of any cases where Midazolam caused death. But we were encouraged and sometimes bullied into giving them to residents when we were overwhelmed with residents needs, and understaffed, because it gave us more time to get to everyone.”
On June 22nd 2021, ITV News reported that Kenwyn care home, where 94% staff and 100% residents were vaccinated, experienced a significant outbreak of Covid infections.
Nevertheless, by October 2021, the Care Quality Commission declared that all care staff, from cleaner to care, had to be vaccinated by November 11th (Remembrance Day, no less) or they would be sacked. That they had risked their lives, and the lives of their families, for those most in need, and that most of them had almost certainly been exposed to Covid during this time and now had antibodies, seemed not to matter.
The combined years of experience, training and devotion of the people effected by this were irreplaceable. The people I know who chose not to get vaccinated and left the care sector weren’t ‘anti-vaxxers’; they were people who had had every other vaccine offered to them or their children. They weren’t ‘conspiracy theorists’ who spent hours down David Ike rabbit holes on social media – they worked too hard to find the time for that. They were just hard-working, caring people who were reluctant to take a vaccine they knew little about. Many I spoke to felt that forced vaccinations were against their basic principles of informed consent and bodily autonomy.
Still, the Government and the CQC continued with their plan to fire any staff who didn’t get vaccinated by November 11th. The already understaffed and overrun care industry looked set to lose around 60,000 care staff across England.
This is when things started to look like the plot of a disaster movie.

I concur with most of this article.
However, I would comment that, as a Cornishman living in Cornwall, the thought of catching something less severe than the ‘flu didn’t worry, let alone scare, me.
Unfortunately, because of my profession, I had to have a ‘clot shot’ just a week before the illegal mandate was overturned. The NHS keeps sending reminders about another jab but I either ignore them or tell them to bugger off.
I don’t know of anyone who died with/from/of the virus, but am aware of an individual who died a few days after having the booster ‘clot shot’. I also know of someone who has been fully ‘jabbed’ and has the ‘cough’ on four occasions. I’ve not had it and rely on something the has served mankind (can we still call it that?) well for thousands of years – the immune system.
Heartbreaking. Midazolam (versed), a drug used as a short term anaesthetic is hardly something you would give to any elderly person in a care home who is then left ALONE!!!!!! Done so that the care takers had “more time”. So pts. were left unmonitored after being given an anaesthetic, left in their own urine and faeces to what? Die? Get bedsores and uti’s? All because the care homes were understaffed and those who were working “had more time”. Honestly, if people don’t wake the hell up after reading this article, there is no hope and it will all happen once again!
To make matters worse, this irresponsible gov’t mandated covidvaccines for the care workers who absolutely DID NOT want these experimental biologicals. Many refused and left their jobs, causing an even bigger shortage. What kind of government would do something like this. A very seriously flawed government.
This article by the Daily Exposé lays out exactly what happened.
Side note: their website has just been defunded by paypal, simply for telling the truth.
I know it’s just a picture and chosen to be emotional, but it proves a picture is worth a thousand words. The whole care system is not one of mankind’s finest hours. Very much a necessary evil and so wish we had a society where there was a better way.
That said, the barbaric and totally inhumane policy of restricting access to loved ones in care homes and hospital is IMO the single biggest travesty of this entire mess.
We were “lucky” in that mum got to 89 and was still at home. But even we will continue to wake up in a cold sweat some nights because were weren’t able to visit in her last two weeks when the died scared and alone in hospital (not-COVID related). Not a violent man but I’d be so tempted to thump whoever was responsible for this policy.
Simple summing up- ‘Matt Hancock killed your granny’
Oh look – Angela Rayner’s uncrossed her legs and a Tory MP has been watching porn.
Move along, nothing to see here ……
They were and still are determined to get rid of as many people as possible. If not using Midazolam then using the protocol with Remdesivir for Covid to nicely damage your kidneys and kill you. Fail in that put you on a ventilator. Or more indirectly, close down a health service for months and let people die in a chair at home whilst hospital wards were kept closed. Then there is the spraying of the population with heavy heavy metals from above and the adding of poisons to the water that we have to pay for and in our foods. And the biggest win of all for them is the intentional brainwashing and manipulation of people into thinking that they need an ineffective and dangerous experimental gene therapy injection which if they strike lucky will give you a nice blood clot, heart attack or trigger a cancer or autoimmune disease. Anyone who thinks that depopulation is conspiracy needs to think again.

“Cancel culture is a stain on society – I will continue to say what I feel”

Thanks, Kate. I noted Dr Mike Yeadon’s message:
Matt, know that we hold you in the highest esteem. Your stance will in due course be vindicated in the public eye, too.
very principled and brave man – in addition to having been a brilliant footballer.
Those who prescribed Midazolam need to be up on murder charges. It is as simple as that.
They shouldn’t be called “care” homes if no care is actually provided.
Ireland has seen a 12.3% increase in all-cause mortality in Q3 2021 too (900 excess deaths with only 179 death certs mentioning CV). No data yet for Q4 but a public death notice website here suggests that it is similar. Increase in all-cause mortality in 15-44 yrs of 44% which is very similar to USA figure I have seen. All details and graphs here (all official CSO Ireland data only).

If you can’t see that people are being wiped out then you are very obtuse. I have seen it in all age groups over the last couple of years with the best people dying. This is an ongoing project and will not be complete until the death ratio is much higher.
This account qualifies as a genuine horror story. The author references “hundreds” of emails and anecdotes that seem to confirm this and she thinks this is the norm around the country (and probably the world).
There’s no telling how many nursing home residents died unnecessarily from the incorrect response to COVID … but that’s just the people who died. The people who have not yet died have been forced to live in horrific, inhumane conditions.
People and organizations need to be held accountable. Will this ever happen? I doubt it.
Catherine Austen Fitts, an insider at the time, noted that the promulgation of opiates occurred at exactly the same moment that they decided to impverish western economies and ship the money abroad. There is of course a lot more to it than this but be aware of an event called the great poisoning, that started in the 1990s. RFK junior arrived at exactly the same conclusion starting from a different point. Allf of these signs and symptoms of despair and our current malaise are a result of this nefarious movement,.
Does this coincide with the ‘normalisation’ of excessive Cocaine use among the elites?
Not just cocaine but they have admitted to ‘irrational exuberance’, which is code for cocaine and other drugs.
Sounds like an excuse story being put into the public domain.
Midazolam Matt needed bodies in order to gin up the covid scare and killing the lederly with midazolam was one of the main ways they achieved that.
I’ve always been amazed that anyone is willing to work with dementia patients in a care home. Even a good dementia wing is an antechamber to hell. A bad one is hell’s lowest circle. I’ve seen both.
To bully and mistreat those gallant souls who will, is an unspeakable, horrible crime.
The entire care homes scandal is a never-ending series of unspeakable, horrible crimes. I wrote to Help the Aged about this abomination more than two years ago. Their reply made it clear that ‘protecting’ elderly victims against covvie – i.e.covering your own arse against possible covvie negligence claims – was all that mattered. All other forms of cruelty, mental nd physical, were a matter of indifference.
My father is in a care home in France. He is a Brit and wanted to come back to UK as he thought he’d be visited more often as family live in UK. We advised against it. He has been well looked after during COVID theatre. Even though a number of staff left due to mandatory vacinne policy
I would like to urge the author of this piece, Natalie White, to have a look the documentary “A Good Death” on David Icke’s Ickonic platform where she will find that it was the FIRST platform to give a voice to scores of bereaved families who believed that their loved ones had been the victims of the misuse of Midazolam in this country. Jackie Deevoy, a well established investigative journalist, had offered the story to every mainstream outlet in the UK and found that not one wanted to know about it. Only after that process did she go to Ickonic.
Either Natalie White knows nothing about Jackie Deevoy’s Midazolam expose on Ikonic and is simply throwing in the David Icke bashing line out of ignorance or she is deliberately obfuscating.

Recent interview with John O’Looney …

He’s on good form, fully recovered from his hospital nightmare late 2021. In his view a substantial minority of the injections are and have been placebos, i.e. to lull people into a false sense of security.
Only a minority, like him, have a sufficient moral compass.
I used to think there were more people like him. Perhaps there were!
The world of constant PR and “infotainment” may have had a disruptive effect on moral compasses everywhere.
Just to throw this in…
TV personality Esther Rantzen who is involved with the elderly services sector advocated that those who refuse “vaccination” against SARSCoV2 (or who get “vaccinated” but who then don’t get a “booster”) shouldn’t expect “NHS help” – they should “choose” NOT to go to hospital and not to “take up crucial space in ICUs”.
Either her lawyer advised on her exact phrasing or else she didn’t need such advice to be able to couch and spin her words.
We are talking about an extremely nasty person.
I am unvaccinated. Seriously, who TF is Rantzen (a woman who specialised in appearing in front of mass audiences with parsnips that supposedly looked like male genitalia) to tell me I should “choose” not to seek intensive care if I ever need it?
For me it was always the dog that could say, “sausages!!”
What a fascinating photograph: ” If a picture paints a thousand words……?”
‘Many I spoke to felt that forced vaccinations were against their basic principles of informed consent and bodily autonomy.’
Same informed consent and bodily autonomy they respected when shoving midazolam down confused, frail peoples throats.
No sympathy I’m afraid, if they all found it so abhorrent to take part in they had power in their numbers and could and should have refused, they should have spoken out at the time, reported to the police because it’s a crime, they didn’t, they complied to make their lives easier.
Yes. They’re using the defence that was rejected at Nuremberg.
Re. David Beaton’s comment an hour ago. It may be related to a FoI question in Feb. The questioner asked the HoC which MPs were affiliated to the WEF …
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/which_mps_are_affiliated_to_the
Very surprisingly, it doesn’t hold this information. Well, people can ask their own MPs and maybe take a ‘no comment’ as a ‘yes’.
Everyone using this forum could easily get their MP’s e-mail address from the parliament website and ask them. The vast majority of MPs will reply to a letter or e-mail from a constituent. (Mine replied yes when I asked if he belonged to the CRG.)
Advice for the next clampdown: don’t reside in, or allow someone you care about to reside in, any kind of accommodation-providing institution where the officials can control the entrance doors, refusing to let inmates leave and visitors enter.
That’s precisely what they did with a number of cruise ships, care homes, and student halls of residence.
If you’d said a week before this happened that it might happen, many would have called you a loony.
Some extremely nasty stuff is in the pipeline for schools, is my assessment.
Whats the problem, they only did what Harry Shipman did
Oooopps!!! forgot he went to prison for life
Shipman’s brother medic who countersigned the certificates of the causes of death was asked why on earth he signed them. How come he didn’t smell a rat, y’know, given that the death rate of elderly people who’d been attended alone by Shipman was about 20 times higher than it was for any other medic? His answer? “I trusted my colleague”.
I’m not sure how widely known it is that Shipman robbed many of his victims of valuables such as jewellery.
In many areas there are one or two medics that the other medics talk about, and who’d they never allow a member of their own family to see as a patient. I don’t just mean incompetence either – I mean deaths. The word they sometimes use among themselves is “fatals”, short for “fatalities”, and pronounced with the stress on the “als” to rhyme with “pals”.
These are the kind of people that most of the population trust and look up to.
Probably dozens of the medics in the area knew about Shipman’s “little habit” for years.
I think I’m going to demand a new public inquiry, LOL!
I’d be happy to see the politicians involved in this mess at the Ukraine frontline all kitted up and ready to fight. A head cam would be fitted to each politician . This would surely make for the most watched tv program since the two Ronnie’s Christmas special.
It is often said that you can judge a society by how it treats it’s elderly and vulnerable. What an inditement of Britain this is. The cowardly gullible British public cowered at home in terror of a virus they have a 99.8% chance of making a full recovery from while their elderly relatives were left to rot.
Truly awful, and surely as ‘dumping’ hospital patients in to care homes has now been judged illegal, heads must roll. If not, and we let it go, we are as bad as them for this heinous crime. Viva la revolution!
“You will own nothing and be happy“.
This is a good slogan which says a lot, but please be careful because there are two very important things it leaves out:
1) The rulers’ plan is extermination of a large part of the population;
2) Consider the prospect of a collapse of the existing financial and monetary systems from the point of view of the moneylenders (“creditors”). How are they going to like hyperinflation? (I mean hyperinflation in the true sense of that term – see Zimbabwe 2008 or Venezuela 2018, not Britain 1975.) Say a person has a £200,000 loan secured against a mortgage. Whoops, there’s hyperinflation, so a sum with a mere five or six zeros on the end is now a paltry amount. The moneylender may have thought the person’s debt was a nice juicy asset, but now the victim can easily pay it off for the price of giving a bl*wjob to a “health security” soldier, or letting their child carry a box for a local gangster. BUT NOT SO FAST! The moneylenders will NOT allow their position to disappear like morning mist, just like that. THAT’S NOT THE GAME PLAN. Debt in the old sense will… Read more »
You’re saying this as if it’s news, most of us on this site have been discussing the very same for well over 12 months. I’m glad you’ve caught up with us.
“You will own nothing and be happy“.
The most offensive element of this is that they do not, of course, give a rat’s arse about whether we are happy or not.
There’s nothing else it can be replaced by, unless the rulers are overthrown, which isn’t on the horizon.
The world turns.
