“It’s all coming out now!” – a friend greeted me with this exclamation recently. Then off he went. First up was Hunter Biden’s laptop. He then went into some detail about MEP Rob Roos and the Pfizer executive Janine Small’s revelation that the vaccine was never tested for transmissibility. A bit on the lab leak theory, “had I heard it?” For good measure, he finished up with chapter and verse on the Office for National Statistics’ response to Professor Norman Fenton’s FOI about Covid deaths of people without underlying health conditions. All good stuff.
The odd thing about all this was that my friend, who is quadruple vaccinated, was supportive of the lockdowns and was an assiduous mask wearer. We’ve also had a few awkward moments over the past couple of years when I’ve expressed some scepticism of – well, scepticism of anything and everything. When I suggested that none of this was news, that all of this information had been readily available for years, he looked at me slightly askance and said: “No, it’s all new, just wait, it’s all coming out now!”
My friend’s not the only person to have noticed these ‘new revelations’. They’re beginning to creep into the mainstream media (except the BBC) and since Elon Musk bought Twitter there seems to be growing visibility of some of these issues on social media.
The point of this article is really threefold. Firstly, to join all my fellow readers of the Daily Sceptic in saying “I told you so!” Don’t tell me there isn’t a slight pleasure in that? Secondly, to remind you where some of this information has been hiding in ‘plain sight’ over the past few years. And thirdly, to make a point about informed consent. My friend is in his 50s, in good health with children of school age and at university. They’ve all submitted to multiple vaccines. All had Covid more than once, some before and some post vaccine with no noticeable difference between the severity of symptoms. Between them all they’ve had various mild adverse experiences from the vaccines but nothing very serious. He’s now beginning to ask questions. If he’d known last autumn that only three healthy kids under 20 had died of Covid (as disclosed by the ONS data), or that the vaccines would not reduce the likelihood of infection and transmission, would he have been so keen on ushering his kids to the front of the queue or supporting vaccine passport controls?
In case you weren’t aware of it, Professor Norman Fenton recently extracted an interesting response from the Office for National Statistics. His request and the response can be seen here. It covers the number of Covid deaths, where only Covid was mentioned on the death certificate, from the start of the pandemic to the end of December 2021. The answer was just under 3.5% of the total. To many this has been a revelation.
Here are the ONS data as a chart with the number of deaths by age and sex in the data table below the chart.
If you’re the parent of a healthy child who found yourself persuaded or coerced into getting your child vaccinated against the risk of dying from Covid you may be interested to know that there were only three deaths in children and young people under 20 who didn’t have an underlying health condition, throughout this period. A week or so ago, three under 20s were stabbed to death in London on a single day. Tragic for the victims but it puts in perspective how small the risk to healthy young people Covid has been.
Of the 7,244,015 people in England aged 20-29, only 20 without a comorbidity died of Covid up to the end of 2021. About one twentieth (5%) of those killed on the roads. Indeed, the data show that of the 177,547 Covid deaths of all ages that had occurred to the end of December 2021, only 6,183 or 3.5% of them were people without a comorbidity.
Surprising as it may be but this information has been readily available since at least May 2020: here’s a link to NHS data with weekly and monthly spreadsheets showing how many people were dying of Covid, their age, pre-condition, ethnicity and location. Figure 2 is a sample of the data; I’ve lifted it from the report dated December 31st 2020. I could have chosen any of the reports as they all tell a similar story, but this date is one of the last that precludes any possible vaccine effect. The data in this report cover a period 12 months shorter than that covered in the ONS FOI response but the point I’m trying to make is that all this information was already known and in the public domain since almost day one of the pandemic.
To be clear, these data differentiate deaths by age group between those with and those without a pre-existing condition. We can see that total deaths in English hospitals up to Dec 30th 2020 was 50,248. Of these, only 2,068 or 4.1% had no pre-condition, of whom only six were under 20.
We can also see the skew towards the elderly. Children and young people under 20 made up 0.05% of the deaths.
In Table 3 I’ve added some population data so you can see the likelihood of someone in the various age cohorts succumbing to Covid in the period covered by the report. A healthy under 20 year-old had a 1 in 2,221,726 chance of dying of Covid while an under 20 with a pre-condition had a 1 in 493,717.
Despite what Michael Gove said, we weren’t all ‘equally at risk’. If you were young, or weren’t suffering from some life threatening or shortening condition, your risk was negligible. But even for the healthy over-80s, if they didn’t have a pre-condition there were long odd on them dying, 1 in 3,487 – 33 times better odds than someone with a pre-condition.
In Figure 4 I’ve added three columns to the right of the NHS table. The first one (in blue) shows the ONS data (from the FOI response to Professor Fenton) for deaths without pre-condition to the end of Dec 2021. The next two columns (in red) show the percentage of deaths without pre-condition by age for the NHS data at the end of Dec 2020 and for the ONS data to the end of Dec 2021.
The figures are surprisingly consistent. Overall, back in December 2020 we knew that 95.9% of Covid fatalities were of people with a pre-existing condition. The ONS figures for the cumulative total to the end of 2021 show 96.5% have a pre-existing condition.
The NHS data that have been hanging around for two and a half years also give us quite a lot of information about these ‘pre-conditions’. If you didn’t suffer from one of these conditions your risk was massively reduced no matter what age you were.
If you add up all these ‘pre-conditions’ you get 108,220. Divide that between the 48,180 deaths of people with a pre-condition then you can see that on average each fatality had more than two pre-conditions.
Scan the list. If you don’t suffer from diabetes (26% of fatalities did), if you don’t have a chronic kidney disorder (17% of fatalities did), if you don’t have dementia (17%) or chronic pulmonary disease (16%), then the risk of Covid to you was always very low.
We knew this. The information was hidden in plain sight. In making a decision about whether I wish to take an experimental vaccine, approved only under emergency use authorisation (EUA), then this information should surely have been made more readily available to those being asked to give informed consent.
Let’s now turn to the ‘revelation’ in the European Parliament that Pfizer hadn’t tested its vaccine against transmissibility. This seemed to come as news to many. It’s a measure of how effective the suppression of information has been that this was a surprise to anyone.
On September 23rd 2020, Forbes magazine published an article written by William A. Haseltine titled: “COVID-19 Vaccine Protocols Reveal That Trials Are Designed To Succeed.” The article caused a bit of a stir at the time but soon the ripples subsided and it was forgotten. However, it’s well worth a read. William A. Haseltine had done what precious few journalists do: he’d read the small print. He discovered that:
- “Prevention of infection is not a criterion for success for any of these vaccines.”
- “We all expect an effective vaccine to prevent serious illness if infected. Three of the vaccine protocols – Moderna, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca – do not require that their vaccine prevent serious disease, only that they prevent moderate symptoms which may be as mild as cough, or headache.”
- “The greatest fear people have is dying from this disease. A vaccine must significantly or entirely reduce deaths from COVID-19. Over two hundred thousand people have died in the United States and nearly a million worldwide. None list mortality as a critical endpoint.”
The test protocols never required the vaccines to either prevent transmission or prevent death, merely prevent mild (or ‘moderate’) symptoms.
Just for the record, it’s worth mentioning that William A. Haseltine would appear not to be some tin-foil hat wearing, extreme libertarian anti-vaxxer. His preferred solution was a Chinese style lockdown! But hey, take your allies where you find them.
Back in September 2020, when I read the Forbes article, my assumption was that governments around the world were intending to use the vaccines to get them out of a pickle of their own making. Lockdowns hadn’t worked, they couldn’t be afforded, and people were getting fed up with them. But governments couldn’t just say: “Oops, sorry, lockdowns were a total waste of time, loads of you have now got natural immunity from prior infection, let’s all go back to Plan A and live with the virus.” They needed a ladder to climb down, and vaccines, whether they worked or not would be that ladder. And, largely, that’s exactly what happened. It didn’t really matter whether vaccines worked or not. We did have loads of natural immunity. The Omicron variant wasn’t as virulent as earlier versions. Convince the public that vaccines had saved the day and everyone will go back to the ‘new normal’.
There you have it. The New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop from October 2020 has become a scoop in December 2022. The ‘lab leak’ theory, widely known back in January and February 2020, is only now getting real traction. Despite the fact that the test protocols for the vaccine trials back in 2020 didn’t require them to be sterilising, it’s now regarded as a scoop that they’re not sterilising. And finally, even though the data were published weekly since May 2020 by ‘our NHS’ showing that children and young people were at effectively zero risk from Covid, only now, 30 months later, people are starting to notice.
Hold the front page! We’ve got some two year-old news we need to publish.

Despite all of this, it’s still possible to talk to some person well below thirty on one evening and on the next, he’s wearing a really military-grade-looking (paper) face mask to protect him from something (bar staff at Spoons pub in Reading). 🙁
Must be something nasty in the kitchen to justify that!
I suspect that the kitchen serves as hangout for vanished bar staff and that he’s very likely not wearing it there.
Also from Reading. Is that the Hope Tap?
Yes.
It’s ‘Our Wonderful NHS’, if you please.
‘The envy of the world’ don’t you know?
I wish it were true, but I’m not seeing this grand public awakening. The only real acknowledgement I encounter is people openly stating they’re not taking any more jabs and a clear reluctance to go any further than that in the thought process.
The awakening is here though. Don’t underestimate the fact that this seemingly subtle acknowledgment up on the surface of the conscious mind is accompanied by a turbulent rearrangement down below, in the unconscious, where the real ‘belief making’ takes place.
As for the seeming reluctance to go any further, it is only natural. As a species we are hard-wired to avoid pain. And we sceptics are asking people to willingly inflict pain upon themselves, by facing up to the psychopathy that has engulfed us.
As Desmet has said, keep banging on about it. Persevere. Again, and again, and then some more. Fight the good fight. Truth is a manifestation of Light and has a wider spiritual redeeming purpose that makes life worth living.
And a lot of people cannot handle cognitive dissonance
I know an awful lot of people who have JRS (Jab Remorse Syndrome) and have woken up to the tyranny that’s being thrust upon us. Others say they wont have anymore but as soon as the global digital ID /Vax Passport is rolled out and you will need updated lethal injections in order to travel then these second cohorts will
crumble and revert to type aka pin cushions for Big Pharma.
I’m taking the word ‘hidden’ as a verb in that sentence. People in positions of authority must be held to account for what they did and an example made to ensure it can never happen again.
I revel in being right. Right about the LDs, Right about the dead, wounded, injured and psychologically, physically scarred from the LDs. Right about the Poisons. Right about the millions of stabbed dead and injured. Right about the Diapers. Right about the scamdemic. Right about Digital IDs. Right about losing our freedoms, free speech, our jobs, our families, our sanity, our travel, our civilisation. I remind everyone all the time I was right. What Rona taught all of us is that 80% of the pop are stupid, or compliant, or cowardly, or fascistic, or all the aforementioned.
Yes, just like my attitude to it all. What it does demonstrate is how vulnerable society is to the methods used to encourage people to fall in line. A bit like 1930’s Germany in spades, perhaps.
I certainly agree with 99% of your post. I disagree with:
“I revel in being right.”
There is nothing to revel about. What I feel is a terrible sadness at the evil that has been unleashed on the world. Instead of seeking to murder, constrain and control millions why could not decency and a genuine desire to improve the futures of our fellows be followed?
What corrupted mayhem must infect the minds of the psychos who will if they succeed destroy not just humanity but our planet? And all “For a Few Dollars More.”
The dystopian miseries that a reset will bring forward will affect the “victors” too, a bit like a child whose every wish is met at Christmas and by day’s end is so bored that he seeks solace in the discarded wrappings his presents arrived in. They too will become frustrated and bored as the realisation that every whim can be met by nothing more than touching a screen. Where is the joy in that?
Attempting to remodel humanity can only fail. The desire for love, for friendship, for company will always win out. These are hard-wired. And family; the evil attempts to undermine and destroy families will never succeed, this need is part of our birthright. It is doomed to failure.
There is going to be a reset alright but it is our duty to ensure that the evil doers amongst us are wiped from the earth and we must strive to replace their evil with the decency, goodness, compassion and fairness which really is inherent in the majority.
There is one hell of a fight before us.
There is a fight for the soul of humanity. These obsessed geneticists splicing and dicing our DNA have one goal in mind and that is to disconnect our consciousness from our physical bodies. They have no idea what they’re doing and only think of humans as hackable biological entities they can play around with in order to edit out our genetic imperfections.

Exactly. Seeking to literally digitise the human brain is hubris combined with grotesque ignorance on steroids.
I agree HP. My wife keeps saying to anyone who will listen that I was right from the 2nd day of lockdown when I wrote a 2ft long email to my Tory MP and set out what would happen if we locked down. I then emailed him every 5 days for a year putting him right – mostly from the now Daily Sceptic.
He may not have read it all but he certainly was left in doubt that his support for the Government’s actions was wrong and counter productive and would create a financial burden for the UK.
My next goal for the rest of my life – I am 75 – is to fight Net Zero and the cognitive dissonance that is rampant in the general public and the Green supporters.
Thank you.
Yes. Next up:
These jabs are killing millions of people some quickly, some slowly….
Yep, I’m sure you’ve heard of Dr Ryan Cole? I started following him early on in this scamdemic.
Ever wondered why not everyone is injured or dies from the Covid shots? This 2 min video embedded in this article explains why.
https://expose-news.com/2022/12/14/ryan-cole-gives-his-insights-into-covid-vaccines/
Well at least discovery is speeding up. Over in the climate nonsense world someone posted this, from 2010
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/03/08/the-logarithmic-effect-of-carbon-dioxide/
noting Willis Eschenbach pointing out that co2 warming effect, being logarithmic, fades (or becomes saturated, as Will Happer now details).
Comments include a chap mentioning Richard Lindzen noting that the co2/water vapour feedback loop was nothing more than a theory in IPCC-1…back in 1990.
The money force is strong in this one.
I am a big fan of Willis Eschenbach. His article about the Diamond Princess cruise ship convinced me in March 2020 that the chances of me dying from Covid (as a healthy 58 yeard old at the time) were slim.
This has all the signs of being a snowball rolling down an Alpine hill.
Let’s hope so. And line up all our recently ennobled Heroes Of The Corona in the valley below.
You need to review the data in Table 3. You’re using the wrong denominator. To get the correct figures for the “Likelihood of dying with/from Covid” the appropriate denominators would be the number of people in each cohort with and without a pre-existing condition, not the total number of people in the cohort. (I have no idea where you would get those denomiator figures though)
What you are currently showing is “the chance of (having and pre-condition) AND (dying with/from Covid)” which is not a very helpful number. What you imply, wrongly, to have shown is “the chance of dying with/from Covid given that you have (or do not have) a pre-existing condition”. Using the correct denominator would make the changes of dying given a pre-existing condition substantially higher, and the chances of dying without a pre-existing condition only slightly higher. I would expect the ratio in the final column then to be much higher (particularly in the younger age groups).
I’m finding people are trying to ignore what went on. They are not willing to admit they’ve been hoodwinked. It will be interesting at Christmas as I will be meeting my step-son-in-law for the first time since we had a bust up back in Autumn 2021 when he refused to let me into his father’s house because I wasn’t jabbed. We haven’t spoken since that day. The rest of that family are total Covidians apart from my Partner. I suspect the gargantuan elephant in the room will be ignored unless….
‘ “I told you so!” Don’t tell me there isn’t a slight pleasure in that? ‘
I disagree. It’s not slight… it’s huge and glorious! 😄
It would be interesting to see the same analysis for deaths from influenza and other respiratory infections. I would suggest likely the same, deaths skewed to the elderly with comorbidity.
So CoV 2 was in fact Just Another Respiratory Virus.
197 000 deaths from ‘flu and pneumonia to date since January 2020, just about the same as alleged CoVid deaths, yet not a number you see published.
