The latest installment ( 1hr ) from the Canadian doctors ( Drs Hoffe, Makis, Malthouse and Shaw ) covering various topics inc sudden deaths of doctors, ‘turbo cancers’ and the evidence that more people have died since the introduction of the gene therapies compared to 2020 when there was none and also compared with a very low % vaxxed in S. Africa, where natural immunity was allowed to happen.

I think I’m experiencing scepticism-burnout, and wondering if others are too, hence the drop off in comments here, etc.

The last nearly-3 years have been the second big red-pill period of my life, ( the first was 1988-92 ) and currently i feel sceptical about almost everything, but no longer in an excited/passionate/OMG sort of way but wearily.

I’ve started liking and sharing pics of paintings and landscapes on fb because I almost can’t bear anymore of the revealed corruptions, lies, damage, of not just the last 3 years but the last hundred+.

Is there anywhere or anything big, public, organised, powerful with integrity *and* *vision*?

I’m also feeling the same, Amtrup. The outrage has sort of dissipated into the ether. I get occasional flurries of it but I am so used to being disappointed now that it’s almost become my default setting, so to speak, as far as news is concerned anyway. I would like to feel more joyful generally again. Being more of an optimist than pessimist, I tend to get joy in small interactions with ordinary people and friends anyway but I get dread now too. Many of my friends are the type you can’t talk to about these things so I don’t.
Let’s start a movement based on joy, hope, integrity, and yes, importantly, vision.

I can’t think of much. Whatever Swedish organisation Tegnell runs/used to run (Swedish public health?). Arguably the governments of a few Republican run states in the USA (though you may not like other aspects of their politics).

I’m sure we have all felt like it..I know I have. It does do some good to just ditch stuff for a couple of weeks, and come back a little bit ‘renewed’…
The truth is, this is what keeping going looks like…boring, annoying, soul-sapping…

Maybe it’s just SAD.
I was surprised to learn that there was a March through London yesterday.
I can’t see the point of that anymore at the moment, but I have the deepest respect for its organisers and participants and for their continued commitment.
The one thing that matters now for all of us isis to remember Admiral Stockdale’s words and actions and to stay true to them:
The “Stockdale Paradox”: you must maintain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time, have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

You may be correct Amtrup but I believe it is the responsibility of the regulars to keep posting. We must not let DS go down. Fortunately new members are posting but if we do not provide a lead it could have disastrous consequences.

I will continue to do my bit.

I thought this was very interesting because I hadn’t even heard about what happened in Samoa in 2019. News to me! 😮

“So let’s then turn to Samoa (and neighbouring Fiji and Tonga) in 2019. Here is the timeline

April 2019 – MMR relaunched in Samoa after a pause on the vaccination program in 2018 after two vaccine-related deaths of children. The vaccine program was poorly received by the Samoan population and uptake was low.

1st Oct 2019 – UNICEF delivered 135,000 doses of measles vaccines to Fiji, 110,500 doses of measles vaccines to Samoa (as well as supplies of vitamin A) and 12,000 doses of measles vaccines to Tonga

18th Oct 2019 – Samoa declares a measles outbreak.

24th Oct 2019 – Tonga declares a measles outbreak.

7th Nov 2019 – Fiji declares a measles outbreak (archive here)

15th Nov 2019 – State of emergency declared in Samoa after 1000 cases and 15 deaths (of which 14 were children under five)

Other estimates of vaccine coverage in the region actually put Fiji and Tonga at nearly 100% and the coverage in Samoa reached 100% in 2013 following which it started dropping. In other words, if the vaccines were working as promised herd immunity should have been reached years before. In fact, despite global vaccination rates over 80% it appears that the herd immunity promise has never eventuated for measles.

So why was the Samoan outbreak such a problem that it was reported worldwide while the Fiji/Tongan outbreaks were ignored? Well, kids were dying. A lot. In fact, the death rate in the Samoan measles outbreak of November 2019 was 40 times the usual death rate for measles in developed countries.” What the hell was in those vaccines?

You may be wondering what this has to do with Covid or the plandemic but read on as there’s a twist in the tail and it involves a familiar name. Many interesting and intelligent posts in the comments section also.

Great spot Mog. One of the arguments against deliberate release of SARS-CoV-2 is that the perpetrators would have had to undertake large-scale tests to caliberate the virus, i.e. to make sure it was just deadly enough to create a panic but not so dangerous that it would imperil the lives of the perps. I wonder if this is a missing piece in the jigsaw?

The British Heart Foundation (rotten to the bloody core) has supported every aspect of the lockdowns including, unbelievably for patients with heart disease, the wearing of masks.

I am not aware of any charity which has behaved credibly throughout this evil.

Apologies for being lazy – I’m really struggling for any spare time today – but do yo know what the recommended daily dose of vitamin D was in the study referenced in the news section and the one you’ve linked to? I try to take daily vitamin D, but not 100% sure what the optimal dosage is.

The Ivor Cummins one was 4000 IU, or 100 µg per day. Well above the current NHS online one of 400 IU ( ten to one ). Other places (such as German sites) vary a bit. 25 µg tablets are on sale in supermarkets, sometimes 12.5 µg ones, and about 5 µg seem to be part of “everyday health” products. Take your pick!

There seems to be a lot of uncertainty about the potential risk of using too much oral intake, though. E.g. in this paper: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-nutritional-science/article/physiological-significance-of-vitamin-d-produced-in-skin-compared-with-oral-vitamin-d/F91B8317B430A6B810D6D13B559B17D4# they suggest that 10,000 IU could be at the risky end of the scale. In it there is a lot about the internal mechanics of how we deal with automatic internal creation in response to UV-B compared with dietary intake.

Ok, thanks. The ones I take are 4000 IU, but always forget a few days, so probably usually take ~4/5 a week along with 40mg Zinc and, occasionally, Vitamin C. I can’t actually remember where I got those dose quantities from now!

I think Dr Sam Bailey recommends 2000 IU. She has definitely posted a video on the subject.

I have been informed by our next door neighbour that her husband died last Thursday. They had separated but on good terms. He was a lovely guy, just forty two years old and before the Scamdemic extremely fit.

The cause of death was heart failure brought on as a result of treatment he was receiving for melanoma and lung cancer which sprang from nowhere two months ago. He had been injected.

He leaves a seven year old son, a lovely lad.

Bastards.

“We recognize that the extensive COVID-19 immunization is a global public good and we will advance our effort to ensure timely, equitable and universal access to safe, affordable, quality and effective vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics (VTDs).”

Thisis an example of the utter guff and garbage put out as part of the World Leaders’ Global Declaration Bali 22.

There are pages and pages of similar shyte.

This is random. Scabies is apparently on the rise here, but why on earth would you need to develop a PCR test to diagnose it? Shouldn’t any self-respecting doctor be able to do that? Or send a sample off to the labs for a diagnosis? No idea why a PCR test would be necessary. Surely use the same diagnostic protocol they’ve always used. It’s hardly an uncommon or exotic disease. What next, the WHO declares a global emergency of armageddon proportions?? Do me a favour! R.I.P Monkeybollox, Scabies… it’s your time to shine!! lol FFS..

I dearly wanna see the back end of those ruddy things, not have their usage becoming more widespread. That’s nuts! I mean, what have doctors always done to manage scabies? Probably looked at the skin, listened to the patient’s symptoms then prescribe an appropriate medication. It does seem ominous, as well as nonsensical, that they’d bother to invest money and resources into something that’s blatantly unnecessary. Unless, as you say, there’s ulterior motives…..🤔
Man, they’re determined to get us one way or another aren’t they? Kary Mullis will be spinning in his grave.😐
