News Round-Up

by Will Jones
8 July 2022 1:16 AM

  • “The Tories are in danger of learning the wrong lessons from Boris’s fall” – Fraser Nelson in the Telegraph says that still too few Tory MPs realise why lockdowns were such a bad idea and the party finally needs to start talking plainly about Britain’s problems.
  • “Even the peer-reviewed academic science that everyone is supposed to follow provides clear evidence that vaccinating young people is dangerous and stupid” – Eugyppius summarises a Substack post by Rav Arora, a journalist who used to write for the New York Post before his vaccine reporting got him blackballed, which assembles the major studies on myocarditis risk that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines pose for young people.
  • “CDC consultation on extending the vaccine pass for international visitors” – The CDC is proposing to extend the ban on unvaccinated visitors entering the U.S. and is consulting until September 6th.
  • “Germany refuses to ‘plunder its own military’ for the sake of Ukraine” – Germany has said it doesn’t want to “plunder its own military” as it refuses to send armoured vehicles to Ukraine, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Next Tory leader will find it impossible to cut taxes, watchdog warns” – The Office for Budget Responsibility warns the Government that the Net Zero crusade will crush Britain under a record mountain of debt, writes Tom Rees in the Telegraph.
  • “Dutch Police Shoot Live Ammo At Anti-Climate Rule Protestors” – Eric Worrall in Watts Up With That? writes that while there were no injuries reported, Dutch authorities seem determined to meet their climate targets, even if this means crippling their farming sector, or shooting someone protesting their ruinous agricultural climate rules.
  • “Hot Sand” – Willis Eschenbach in Watts Up With That? says that the idea of hot sand power storage is an eco idea that might actually work, for a change.
  • “HSBC banker quits and declares ‘cancel culture destroys wealth and progress’” – Stuart Kirk, who was suspended in May after attacking climate change “nut jobs”, said he will “continue to prod with a sharp stick the nonsense, hypocrisy, sloppy logic and group-think inside the mainstream bubble of sustainable finance”, adding that “most of what’s out there is bonkers”.
  • “All New Vehicles In EU Now Have Mandated Black Boxes Installed” – Paul Joseph Watson at Summit News reports that as of this week all new vehicles sold in the EU now have mandatory black boxes fitted that record technical data and will be accessible by authorities, greasing the skids for surveillance-powered speed limiting technology.
  • “Elon Musk ‘trolls’ Bill Gates over ‘green hydrogen’ claims” – Elon Musk seemed to troll Bill Gates early Thursday morning over the concept of green hydrogen with a laughing emoji on Twitter, the Mail reports.
  • “The age of the anti-natalists” – Lionel Shriver in the Spectator traces the links between climate and rainbow wokery and the fertility and demographic crisis.
  • “Stephen Fry: ‘Batter? Men’s Ashes? It’s not wokery – it’s politeness. Tell your readers that’” – MCC’s next president tells the Telegraph that he feels a profound affinity with cricket’s most cherished customs but is determined to embrace change.
  • “With the utmost respect, Stephen Fry, you are helping turn cricket into a totalitarian state” – Simon Heffer in the Telegraph responds to Fry, saying there’s nothing rude about sticking with the traditions and terminology that have been used for centuries that no one could reasonably object to.
  • “The pernicious creep of the 20mph zone” – Ysenda Maxtone Graham in the Spectator says the arrival of crawl zones in U.K. cities including London is yet another depressing victory for the nannying safetyists and is bad for business as it makes delivery journeys considerably longer.
  • “Elon Musk says Twitter ‘going way too far’ after tweet about Elliot Page removed” – Musk wrote that the social media site had overreacted by “squashing dissenting opinions” when it suspended Jordan Peterson’s account for writing factual statements about what the actress had done to her body.
  • “There can be no return to Cameron-Osborne-Cleggism” – Lord Frost in the Telegraph says that he wants to see a Tory leader who is pro-free speech, anti-woke and fully committed to conservatism and selling its merits to the public.

Whenever somebody mocks herd immunity, remember that’s what the rationale was for vaccine mandates. Even lockdowns were on the basis of a form of herd immunity, i.e. reducing the pathways of infection:

Biden and Fauci Botched the Covid Pandemic Response
Instead of protecting the vulnerable, they bet too heavily on vaccines to achieve herd immunity.

There are many lessons to be gleaned from the U.S. pandemic response. House Democrats don’t care to study them.

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis last month issued a deeply partisan report demonizing doctors who purportedly espoused “a dangerous and discredited herd immunity via mass infection strategy.” The report took aim at the Trump administration’s embrace of the October 2020 Great Barrington Declaration, in which epidemiologists Martin Kulldorff (Harvard), Sunetra Gupta (Oxford) and Jay Bhattacharya (Stanford) advocated protecting the elderly and vulnerable while allowing schools and businesses to reopen. This wasn’t a strategy to infect masses of people on purpose. The goal was to minimize deaths and social and economic harm until the country reached herd immunity through infection or vaccination.

The Great Barrington strategy of “focused protection” helped minimize the pandemic’s collateral damage until vaccines became available. The Biden administration then undertook a strategy of herd immunity via vaccination. But when this strategy failed, it doubled down with vaccine mandates.

Herd immunity had nothing to do with the Scamdemic in the same way that all NPI’s had nothing to do with protecting public health.

The injection of the herd was an end in itself and again had F A to do with protecting the public.

The “something must be done” attitude comes with the job of many so-called experts. We are still suffering from the aftermath of that.

Courtesy of the controlled MSM ensuring lack of dissemination of any information to detract from the narrative.

Interview about the farmer protests in the Netherlands.
Following is a response to this article from a Czech.What is going on in Holland is the same thing what was collectivisation in the 1950´s in communist Czechoslovakia, when the government by force confiscated (nationalized) the land and animals of the farmers and put it into the state owned cooperatives. This is going on again infront of our very eyes. Only the pretext is different. This time climate change.’

Just watched Mattias Desmet talking about mass formation with Ivor Cummins in this video. It’s a great watch, and definitely empowering in terms of keeping up the fight against the crazy narratives.
