“exercise was invented by racist white Americans.”
So what if it was? Who cares?
Aha! An early downticking intellectual giant!
Not me, although the briefest of glances at any ancient civilisation for example Greek, or Roman will quickly show that claim to be false. Hunting and gathering are not easily or successfully achieved by the sedentary.
Indeed, but I guess my point was that lots of things have been invented by lots of people throughout history, and what matters is whether those things are useful or not.
Ah! Exercise is only useful to he who exercises, therefore it’s an inherently selfish act and therefore racist and just generally bad and doesn’t keep granny safe therefore it should be illegal so THerE, EXerCIsErS ARe BAaAd PeoPLe
I didn’t bother reading the explanation – the whole thing seems quite absurd. I think by far the best response to anything of the sort is simply “so what?”.
“China’s Covid nightmare is the final proof: lockdowns were a total failure” – Sweden’s refusal to impose compulsory lockdowns has now been completely vindicated, argues Matt Ridley in the Telegraph.
Of course the media act as if the opposite were true

I received a video via MD4CE email this morning of a chap in Shanghai doing a tour of the ‘fever clinics’ on 20th December 2022. No long queues, waits as promoted in the MSM. Basically our default position of to believe the polar opposite of the MSM is corroborated.
Have found a link to the video on Twitter

I see Farage is supporting testing of arrivals from China. Not going to vote for any party he’s supporting. The left support it because they are covidian, and a portion of the right support it because they are too thick to tell the difference between proper control of our borders to stop illegal immigration and covid theatre.
Managed seven down ticks so far- where are the seven intellectual giants to explain what they disagree with
And I thought I was the one with the ability to attract arseholes like it’s my superpower!
Turns out I’m not that special after all…
Of course you are special Mogs, and don’t let anybody suggest otherwise.
Thank you for doing this every single day. It’s part of my morning routine.
I think it’s an inevitability and very encouraging that people, including the experts, are now looking at other childhood vaccines and giving their efficacy closer scrutiny. Off the back of Dr McCullough finding evidence that the MMR jab doesn’t protect against measles he’s discovered more which demonstrates kids who are vaccinated still get mumps also. I think 2023 will be the year that the truth gradually dawns on everyone with critical thinking capacity that many vaccines are rubbish and totally unnecessary. Natural immunity for the win!

Wodarg was also asked on Twitter which vaccine he would still recommend.
His answer was none, as his trust in manufacturers and regulators has now completely disappeared.
Remember that he was a very mainstream doctor and social democratic MP for most of his life.
Yes and I’m sure he’s far from alone in that sentiment. I concur 100% with him. The Clot Shot bioweapon charade really was a great awakening. I hope this project backfires on Big Pharma massively. They’ve become way too comfortable raking in billions and being all powerful when the best weapon we have as a collective is to just stop playing ball. What they gonna do then?
And in the spirit of the season, especially if you’ve been on the sherry, I do like this rendition of a classic by the Canadian doctors.

“The vaccination-practice, pushed to the front on all occasions by mercenary doctors, and through political connivance, made compulsory by the state, has not only become the chief menace and gravest danger to the health of the rising generation but likewise the crowning outrage against the personal liberty of the American citizen.”
Seems there were ”anti-vaxxers” and awake doctors even in 1914. Fascinating newspaper article.

So there’s a new scariant on the block. I personally couldn’t give a rat’s arse about this but I expect if you’ve been jabbed ( and not with the degraded, diluted to homeopathic-type strength stuff ) and you’re finding you’re picking up lurgies left, right and centre, this will be of concern. Apparently this one is predicted to be more problematic as it is likely to affect the lower respiratory system, as opposed to previous Omicron variants which have stayed higher up, giving only minor cold-like symptoms. Igor has more;
“New York is experiencing its seventh wave of Covid, despite (and actually because of) its draconian COVID vaccination mandates that created a perfect breeding ground of people who cannot develop immunity to Covid, reinfecting each other.
Soon XBB.1.5 will be coming to a neighborhood near you.”

Indeed, I read that as well. For those who DON’T have VAIDS, this is probably another nothingburger for the most part. We should all take plenty of vitamins anyway though.
The part about it supposedly favoring the lungs was also said about its ancestor BA.2 as well nearly a year ago. And that didn’t really pan out, except perhaps for hamsters.
Yes, it certainly could turn out to be a damp squib. I’m not a worrywort but then I haven’t been jabbed. But you can’t spend your life worrying about what may or may not happen or be round the corner every flu season. I expect the jabbed who have been catching all sorts just need to take extra care over their immunity every winter. This thing’s here to stay so I suggest people just find ways to bolster their immune systems as opposed to wetting their pants over what *might* happen. Sick to the back teeth with all these scariants going through the alphabet now. I’ve got 99 problems and a virus ain’t one!
“Sponges, snakes and snowy landscapes: Age of Extinction’s year in picturesl”
Not sure whether the Guardian is being purposely contradictory or just stupid!
Entitling the peice “age of extinction” and then showing the hugh plethora and diversity of life on earth makes you want to go uuugh?
Whitty has finally decided to comment on the increase in middle aged people dying from heart attacks. Apparently, it is because they have reduced their intake of pharmaceutical products. Nothing to do with the lockdowns, scaremongering and mass injection of experimental gene based therapy.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11587211/Chris-Whitty-warns-thousands-middle-aged-people-dying-heart-conditions-went-untreated.html#comments
Not known as Witless for nothing….
I would say with confidence he is a#se covering. He has been an absolute angel throughout and only wants to look after people. And if people are getting heart attacks it’s all their fault. And he’s off the hook.
Indeed he not is not witless, just wicked
Looks like a -1 lefty amongst us trying to destroy our moral!
While the West turns itself inside-out again, over China…..just a gentle reminder that it’s basically a cold….
A new pre-print from John Ioannidis et al….
Age-stratified infection fatality rate of COVID-19 in the non-elderly informed from pre-vaccination national seroprevalence studies.
The infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 among non-elderly people in the absence of vaccination or prior infection is important to estimate accurately, since 94% of the global population is younger than 70 years and 86% is younger than 60 years.
Highlights *Across 31 systematically identified national seroprevalence studies in the pre-vaccination era, the median infection fatality rate of COVID-19 was estimated to be 0.035% for people aged 0-59 years people and 0.095% for those aged 0-69 years.
*The median IFR was 0.0003% at 0-19 years, 0.003% at 20-29 years, 0.011% at 30-39 years, 0.035% at 40-49 years, 0.129% at 50-59 years, and 0.501% at 60-69 years.
*At a global level, pre-vaccination IFR may have been as low as 0.03% and 0.07% for 0-59 and 0-69 year old people, respectively.
*These IFR estimates in non-elderly populations are lower than previous calculations had suggested.

I often read the news round-up and cannot come to any other conclusion that we’re well beyond the talking point. Sometimes I feel sick to my back teeth of just talking.
Interesting article looking at the testing, or lack thereof, prior to the emergency/conditional use authorisations being granted for the bioweapon injections. Research by Sasha Latypova, Dr McCullough & Dr Mike Yeadon is cited.

Some food for thought on the germ vs terrain theory. I’m still sitting on the fence on this one but can see that both theories have both merit & problems. The MD4CE meeting that is linked in the substack had some of the most diametrically opposed perspectives debated with great vigour. A disturbing & challenging Q&A in the best traditions of free speech.

The only folk who can save us from the direction of travel is ourselves. Anyone who gets MSM exposure – good or bad – is part of the problem & only there to distract & give the impression of democracy.

Very interesting. Actually the taking apart of ‘Jack Monroe’ was even more fascinating. I remember her ‘appearing’ and I must admit I didn’t quite get the story. Something about her didn’t seem right but I had no idea how utterly fake she was.
Brilliant journalism.

Delingpole takes the Number 1 spot with the most read article of 2022 over at TCW. Obviously, and quite rightly Toby will ensure this figures prominently in tomorrow’s NR.
Well done James.
Wow, the song “Der Kommissar” comes to mind.

Now the EV owners will have surveillance in their homes as they charge their vehicles. Unless they are restricted from charging them that is.
Here we go…
Thank you. That might explain news stories about EV owners getting cross with each other while queuing for charge points.

Todd Hayen’s excellent take on Fuhrer Schwab’s “You’ll own nothing and be firkin miserable too.”
Seems that a lot more prominent sceptics are speaking out not just about the Covid narrative but also questioning conventional vaccines and the foundations of modern virology. Sometimes the scientific discussion is hard to follow but I really recommend JJCouey at Gigaohm Biological. E.g. His recent discussion with Dr Joseph Lee is fascinating.
