It’s a sad day. Dr Zev Zelenko lost his battle with cancer last night. He developed the Zelenko protocol early in March/April 2020 & spoke out vociferously about the toxic bioweapon injections & the need to protect our children.
RIP

If viruses/bacteria don’t exist then why do we have an immune system?
If we have an immune system why do we have vaccines?
It’s a reasonable question. The perceived need for vaccines grew out of a time when we were poorly nourished, personal hygiene virtually non-existant, parasite infestation rife, raw sewage flowed down the gutters, there was no clean water.
The immune system would be weak and subject to multiple assaults and no antibiotics or antivirals and other treatments.
The ‘success’ of vaccines correlates with vast improvements in our standards of living, and correlation doesn’t prove causality.
Of course the high priests of science have plenty of ‘data’ to prove their claims about vaccines and big pharma has plenty of money make sure ‘data’ are favourable to their money-making cause.
And we have all learned to trust data, experts and big pharma of late, haven’t we.
So worth asking just how much do we need vaccines?
If we have an immune system why do we have vaccines?
A inherently nonsensical question. Without immune system, vaccination couldn’t accomplish anything.
New York Times yesterday
A U.N. report took a close look at climate change, and gave a bleak warning.
Let’s say net zero objectives were met and the climate still moves in the wrong direction. What then? What would it be blamed on? What if there’s another ice age, would we start burning everything in a desperate attempt to warm up the Earth?
The worry for me is that if people start believing they can control things that are outside of their control, like eradicating a coronavirus, that’s all they will ever spend their time trying to do when all their efforts may well amount to very little effect in the grand scheme of things.
The climate isn’t moving anywhere according to the meteorological data averaged out over the last Century.
The only ‘movement’ is in models and hyperbole predicting the future.
Thinking about it, we have a perfect illustration of what happens when experts think they can control something simply by looking at how our economies are run.
That’s a cracker!
The UN eh? That will be “The Science” then.
Muppets.
But…but…but…two days ago he was dying and the Government had to ‘do’ something…..LOL!

“Much belatedly now that there’s a seemingly endless US weapons pipeline going into Ukraine, the Pentagon is worried they might end up in the “wrong hands” and is seeking to take steps to do something about it. It now wants to track serial numbers of US weaponry on the ground as the fight for Ukraine continues.
As early as April US officials began admitting that once advanced systems like Javelin anti-tank weapons cross into Ukraine they have no idea where they go from there. There’s speculation that some percentage of Western-supplied arms will be resold on the black market, or even make there way to other conflicts outside Ukraine, such as in the Middle East.”

Do ya think? Both Europol and Interpol were warning of this very thing several weeks ago…..where do you think domestic terrorists get their weapons??
Couldn’t they give all the weapons the so called vaccine passports + track & trace & 5G facial recognition etc etc ? Oh hang on …. that’s for us cos we’re dangerous
Pandemic Logic
The masks (N95 or above) only work if there’s no virus around…

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-shameful-truth-about-pride
I haven’t read the article – it is of no interest to me – but the word ‘pride’ jarred and ‘reawoke’ my ongoing total disdain and revulsion of government and Parliament and how the true meaning of pride – good pride, representing dignity and self respect – has been lost.
How wretched and misguided our society has become was nowhere more evident than in the U.K. House of Commons on the afternoon of Thursday, 30th June 2022.
The last but one debate was about 50 years of Pride. A well attended lengthy, boring (to me) session with many lively interjections and statements from the many who were present.
This was followed by a mass exodus for the relatively short adjournment debate to discuss the recently released – 20/06/2022 – CSE Child Sexual Exploitation and Safeguarding report from Oldham. Shamefully, the council repeatedly failed to protect the young and vulnerable over several years. The report seems to have done a better job of ‘protection’ by safeguarding and protecting the abusers – and enablers – of the horrific events.
Two of the town MPs in the chamber were vilifying those in the town who have long questioned the disdainful actions of the council and who also vocalised sheer contempt of the long awaited report, especially during a heated extraordinary council meeting of the evening of 27/06/2022. The MPs were mudslinging – another ‘cover up’ attempt?
The chamber for this debate was woefully empty, only a handful of people present. That begs the question of does this show a total lack of interest in the subject matter? Is the protection and safeguarding of children of no concern? Really?
Where is the ‘pride’ in looking after, caring and nurturing, our young and vulnerable?
Shame on all those who ‘sit’ there in the ‘chamber’ or ‘the other place’, at great public expense, who obviously rate the welfare of children and vulnerable as of lesser importance.
Shame on the public who allow – and enable – government to get away with it.
Pride? Pfft!
