The Lockdown Files have dished up a curious exchange among Britain’s top policy advisers in early 2020. On February 29th, responding to a WhatsApp message from Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Chief Adviser Dominic Cummings that Israeli scientists were just weeks away from developing a Covid vaccine and if this was credible, Chief Scientist Sir Patrick Vallance replied “Short answer is no”.
Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty explained: “For a disease with a low (for the sake of argument 1%) mortality a vaccine has to be very safe so the safety studies can’t be shortcut. So important for the long run.” England’s highest mortality rate was in April 2020 at 0.6%, falling to 0.55% in January 2021 and 0.04% by January 2023.
Based on the original Phase 3 trial data, Bart Classen showed as early as August 2021: “Results prove that none of the vaccines provide a health benefit and all pivotal trials show a statically significant increase in ‘all cause severe morbidity’ in the vaccinated group compared to the placebo group.”
This is nicely (though grimly) book-ended by a recent (March 16th) CDC report showing U.S. maternal mortality jumped to 1,205 in 2021 compared with 861 in 2020 and 754 in 2019.
The 2021 rate of 32.9 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births is the highest maternal mortality rate since 1965. Hmmm, let’s see. What was the newly introduced pharmaceutical intervention in 2021 that begins with ‘v’, that must not be named in connection with unexplained deaths, that also exacerbated the damage to healthcare access caused by the nonpharmaceutical interventions?
As Sonia Elijah comments, drug regulators withdrew 20 common cough and cold remedies earlier this month “because of concerns about a ‘very rare’ risk of anaphylaxis”. The European Medicines Agency identified anaphylaxis as an important risk from Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine way back when in December 2020 and flagged it again in August 2021.
So the vaccine was withdrawn immediately, you ask? I like your sense of humour. And please do try to remember that anyone dying within 14 days of a Covid injection was in reality ‘unvaccinated’.
Thomas Buckley summarises it succinctly:
Tetanus boosters are not scheduled every four months… and polio is an awful memory of the past.
Covid is still around and, most likely, will be forever, as will the growing list of health problems associated with the shot itself…
From two weeks to stop the spread to get a not-vaccine shot every four months, the pandemic response has been full of lies and suffering for the general public and money and power for the autocrats and oligarchs and their clerisy.
The malfeasance was compounded by the cowardice of political leaders hiding behind ‘follow the Science’ that mistook a slogan for policy and let loose upon democratic societies previously unimaginable acts and scenes of censorship, coercion and brutality that have eroded trust in authorities and institutions.
Sadly, regulators have become vaccine enablers first, more committed to defend vaccines from criticism than protect people from harmful vaccines.
Panic saw 100 years of evidence-based pandemic response programmes junked. The accumulated wisdom was to quarantine the sick, not those feeling well; to prioritise the most vulnerable, not coerce the least vulnerable. I’ve gone back to read the CDC’s 2017 ‘Community Mitigation Guidelines to Prevent Pandemic Influenza‘. Among its conclusions:
- The CDC “might recommend the use of face masks by ill persons as a source control measure during severe, very severe, or extreme influenza pandemics when crowded community settings cannot be avoided.” However, “little evidence supports the use of face masks by well persons in community settings”.
- “Persons in community settings who show symptoms consistent with influenza and who might be infected with (probable) pandemic influenza should be separated from well persons as soon as practical, be sent home, and practice voluntary home isolation.”
While Sweden was a lonely outlier in sticking with existing science and plans, almost all others chose experimentation over decades of experience. Bizarrely, with lockdown normalised as the default response, Sweden was the one called on to explain staying with its existing plan.
This happened because superstition-driven diktat took over in the wish to be seen to be doing something. Fear was instrumentalised to terrify citizens. A Yale study in November 2021 concluded that public health messaging was effective in shaming and embarrassing people into getting vaccinated to protect themselves, in the belief that this would also expedite the date on which the entire community could be released from the restrictions.
Yet vaccines were tested for reducing the likelihood of infection leading to serious illness and death, not for protecting against infection and transmission. Robert Blumen has noted how manufacturers and health authorities ignored the more troublesome numbers of absolute risk reduction (ARR) and numbers needed to vaccinate (NNV). Instead, they put front and centre the relative risk reduction of 95% so that people were misled into believing it meant 95% protection against being infected, rather than a 95% reduction in the risk of having symptoms and being PCR-positive conditional on the risk of being symptomatic and test-positive in the first place. “Covid injections were a treatment, not a vaccine,” observes Blumen.
There would never have been the widespread public backing for vaxports if people had not been misled into exaggerating the threat from Covid by several factorfold and mistaking relative for absolute risk reduction. This led them into the false belief that mass vaccination would end the pandemic and the unvaccinated were selfishly prolonging that day of release.
The brainwashing was so effective that to this day many insist that the high rate of vaccination protected Novak Djokovic from Covid.
The virus and the disease are two different things that became conflated in the public discourse. ‘Coronavirus’ is a generic term that includes a large family of viruses with spiky projections on their surface that look like crowns. SARS-CoV-2 is a specific virus. Covid is the respiratory illness caused by the virus (just as measles is the disease caused by the virus rubeola).
Anyone could catch the virus, but the health risks from the disease were steeply age-dependent. So yes, the virus doesn’t discriminate, but no, we were not in it together. The conflation of the virus and the disease led directly to the policy confusion that dismissed targeted protection in favour of universal prescriptions.
A Covid vaccination helps the body to build immunity against the disease. A person with enhanced immunity to developing the disease owing to being vaccinated can still carry and transmit the virus that causes the disease.
The three key and distinct numbers for assessing vaccine efficacy are absolute risk reduction, relative risk reduction, and number needed to vaccinate (NNV). The vaccine manufacturers and promoters engaged in a misleading campaign.
A Lancet article gave the relative risk reduction of five vaccines from 67% to 95%, but their absolute risk reduction ranged from 0.84% for Pfizer to 1.3% for AstraZeneca: not so impressive but far more realistic. A 95% efficacy within a 1% subgroup will barely register as a blip on the mortality curves.
On the number needed to vaccinate, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky tweeted on June 25th 2021 that among 12-17 year olds, one million vaccinated prevent one death. To estimate the benefit-harm ratio, therefore, we would need to know the injurious side-effects for that age group.
This is where Dr. Aseem Malhotra’s calculations are pertinent. The NNV to prevent one Covid death for 18-29 year olds (figures for the younger cohort are not given) during the Delta variant’s dominance in the three months after vaccination was 93,000. The risk of a serious adverse event (that results in hospitalisation or disability) from an mRNA vaccine is 1 in 800. In summary, therefore, Pfizer’s original trial data suggest that there is “a greater risk of serious adverse events from the vaccine than from hospitalisation because of COVID-19”.
The puzzle of why there was a worldwide cascading abandonment of a hundred years of accumulated knowledge by scientific and policy advisers will occupy researchers for many years. The result is that old lessons are having to be relearned. Judging by the rush of studies now coming through to contradict key tenets of the 2020-22 narrative, there’s hope that the wall of silence rooted in groupthink and fear of consequences to career and reputation might have been irreparably breached.
At the community level, neither isolation nor vaccination but socialisation confers the best immunisation. A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last July showed that lack of household exposure to kids increased Covid hospitalisation of grown-ups by 27% and ICU admission by 49%.
The state turned out to be the most efficient Granny killer along with the biggest purveyor of mis- and disinformation. A study of almost 300,00 people in California found that adults have sharply elevated risks of being diagnosed with heart, skin and psychiatric conditions in the three months following Covid injections. In February, three years late, the Lancet published a meta-analysis of 65 studies confirming that immunity conferred by prior infection is real, robust and long-lasting – at least as protective as two doses of the mRNA vaccines.
A study from George Mason University in February found that vaccine mandates in nine U.S. cities did not increase vaccine take-up, undermining one of their key justifications. Data released in February by the Office of National Statistics showed that in England, deaths among the vaccinated was disproportionately higher for all age groups for most of 2021 and 2022.
A study in 2022 found that across 19 European countries, birth rates fell nine months after vaccine rollouts gathered speed. Pfizer began a clinical trial in February 2021 to examine the safety and efficacy of its mRNA vaccine in pregnant women and their newborns but the release of data from the trial is still awaited.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is an article in Cell Host & Microbe published on January 11th 2023 with Anthony Fauci as one of the co-authors. Contrary to the good doctor’s many absolutist claims while still in office, this article concedes that “it is not surprising that none of the predominantly mucosal respiratory viruses have ever been effectively controlled by vaccines”.
Non-sterilising Covid vaccines could and should never have been expected to significantly reduce infection or transmission. Here is a five minute compilation of Anthony Fauci’s many inconsistencies, contradictions, and denialism.
Dr. Guy Hatchard has drawn attention to two studies by authors from the New Zealand Ministry of Health that show (1) a statistically significant association between Pfizer Covid vaccines and myocarditis and acute kidney injury, (2) correlation between vaccination status and mortality in 2021-23 inclusive, and (3) compared to the 73% of those eligible who had received Pfizer booster shots, the boosted account for a disproportionate 80% of all Covid deaths (though how much of this is age-related is unclear).
Other studies show successor doses are less effective and repeated doses may be driving infections. A study in December in Science Immunology by German scientists indicated that the third and subsequent doses of mRNA vaccines could be weakening the immune system, increasing the risk of infection and of prolonging and making the illness more serious.
In the same month, another study of employees of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio also found, contrary to the authors’ expectations, that infection rates increase incrementally with each successive dose of a Covid vaccine. The triple-vaccinated had infection rates three times higher than the unvaccinated.
A study published in February found that mRNA vaccines contain billions of particles of self-replicating DNA that can turn human cells into permanent factories for COVID-19 spike protein. This could explain the persistence of spike protein in the body for months after injection.
An analysis of the situation in Western Australia (WA) is especially interesting, because although four million vaccine doses were administered in 2021, border closures to interstate and international travel were zealously enforced to protect the state as an infection-free-zone. Subsequent adverse events therefore cannot be attributed to Covid.
In an analysis posted on March 14th, Rebekah Barnett notes that the rate of adverse events for Covid vaccines (264.1 per 100,000 doses) was almost 24 times higher than all others (11.1). The number of adverse events in 2021 – remember, there was almost no Covid in WA that year – was 10,726, 39 times higher than the average of 276 per year in the 2017-20 period. She quotes the annual WA Vaccine Surveillance Report:
The number of adverse events following immunisation… was significantly higher in 2021 than in previous years… due to the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccination program.
The impact of the Covid vaccination campaign in 2021 on reported adverse events is visually quite dramatic in her first chart (Figure 1). Some of the key takeaways are:
- Women were disproportionately affected (64%);
- Contrary to claims from the national drug regulator, 57% of those adversely affected required treatment in the emergency department of hospitals;
- The hardest hit age bracket was the 30-49 year-olds;
- Background rates of myocarditis and pericarditis increased by 35% and 25%, respectively.
The lockdown harms are showing up in excess death counts, job losses, supply chains chaos and rising costs of living. This may get worse in the next two to five years before it begins to normalise. Sweden appears to be a standout in bucking this trend (Figure 2).
I wonder why? Could it be that if we hadn’t shut down the economy and healthcare, cancelled cancer and coronary work, induced mass fear in the general populace, stopped people exercising in the open air and not intensified social isolation by preventing people talking to one another, we might, just possibly might, have had lower excess deaths? While Sweden’s excess deaths over the whole pandemic period are relatively low, it’s worth noting that it saw considerable excess deaths during the latter part of 2021 and throughout 2022, including up to 32% in December.
The Lockdown Files show U.K. Health Secretary Matt Hancock getting increasingly riled by the Swedish counterexample. I am sick of the “fucking Sweden argument”, he said, and demanded “three or four bullet [points] of why Sweden is wrong”. He didn’t inquire if Sweden was wrong. Assuming that, he wanted to be able to show why it was wrong: a perfect example of policy-based evidence-making.
That said, Sweden’s low excess death count may be a cautionary note against arguments conflating vaccine-excess deaths correlation with causation. Will Jones, editor of the Daily Sceptic, explores several alternative hypotheses on the link between excess deaths, the virus, lockdowns and vaccines.
The vast majority of Covid deaths in many countries by now are among the vaccinated and boosted. This proves conclusively the ineffectiveness of vaccines at the community level, totally discredits the premise of vaccine mandates, but leaves open the possibility of net protective benefits for target groups like the elderly and people with comorbidities.
The policy conclusion is to lift mandates in public settings and prohibit companies from imposing them in most business settings, leaving it instead for people to make informed decisions in consultation with their doctors, without pressure on the latter from drug regulators.
For all the eye-watering amounts of money transferred from taxpayers to Big Pharma, the Covid vaccines would seem mostly to bear little causal relationship to mortality outcomes:
- Not every death listed as a Covid death was caused by Covid;
- Not every vaccinated person who died was killed by the vaccine;
- Not everyone who was vaccinated, infected by the virus and got sick with Covid but didn’t die, lives because of the vaccines;
- Among the unvaccinated also, conversely, not everyone who died from Covid, did so because they avoided the jabfest;
- Not every unvaccinated person who was infected by the virus and got sick with Covid but didn’t die, lives because of avoiding the vaccine.
The important point is the imperative need to investigate the phenomenon. The refusal of governments to do so is exasperating but perhaps also very telling: never ask a question to which you don’t know the answer.
Lockdowns also locked in generational poverty and inequality in and across nations. Historical illiteracy is now a job requirement for ‘experts’. Recalling Margaret Thatcher’s comment on the trouble with socialism, politicians don’t learn from mistakes made with other people’s health and money. The media too lived down to their description as stenographers with amnesia. The state dictated every aspect of people’s lives, down to the most ridiculous, absurd and intimate details.
With no known cure for blind faith in governments, people embraced compliance with draconian directives from politicians proffering iron fists as a magic bullet.
On every major point of contention in managing the pandemic, the Great Barrington Declaration was right. The commonsense distilled into the few words of the Great Barrington Declaration was an uncommon virtue. Fearmongers-in-Chief like Neil Ferguson, Anthony Fauci (whose omniscience deserted him during deposition) and a host of PUIs (Pfizer’s useful idiots) were wrong. The three eminent scientist-authors were taken down savagely and belittled as “fringe epidemiologists.”
From Twitter Files #18 and #19 released by Matt Taibbi, we now know that Government agencies, NGOs, academia, Big Tech, media, and the intelligence community colluded in the Virality Project led by Stanford University to censor as mis- and disinformation even true stories if their effect was to promote vaccine hesitancy. This included true accounts of vaccine injuries.
As Andrew Lowenthal puts it, rather than highlight safety signals to protect the public, the censorship-industrial complex “ran cover to protect Big Pharma, smearing and censoring critics. The moral depravity is astounding and quite possibly criminal”.
This misuse of government power is a genuine threat to democracy, not a confected one.

And you thought DARPA and the WEF were bad. This document from the UK Ministry of Defense reads like nutjob fantasist Harari authored it. After a thorough skim through the 110 pages I think it sounds like a sales brochure for transhumanism. There really is no area of your life that being augmented cannot improve!
“We cannot wait for the ethics of human augmentation to be decided for us, we must be part of the conversation now. There may be a moral obligation to augment people, particularly in cases where it promotes well-being or protects us from novel threats. It could be argued that treatments involving novel vaccination processes and gene cell therapies are examples of human augmentation already in the pipeline.” Mmm, what can they be referring to here…?
“Happiness, well-being and longevity are moving up the human agenda. There is also a growing realisation that wealth and productivity do not necessarily equate to happiness and fulfillment. While most people still want to be wealthy and have good jobs, they also want to be fitter, healthier and more attractive. Human augmentation will be seen as a means of fulfilling these desires.” It goes on and on like a prolonged advertisement, selling the fact that becoming augmented is the best thing since sliced bread for everyone, not just for the military.
“Human augmentation may be resisted by elements of society that do not trust the effectiveness and motive of the augmentation. This will increase the need for dialogue between society, industry and the state.” So that’ll be the coercion tactics coming in for the likes of us, the sceptics, in the future then. They do talk about those who don’t wish to take vaccines at this point.
But all the familiar terms are in here; under-skin surveillance systems, brain interfaces, gene-editing etc. All the crap we’re used to hearing from Harari and his transhumanist gang. The level of enthusiasm and even desperation is also quite striking as you read this. It’s like they’re wetting themselves with excitement and want us to all be just as enthused by their vision! Anyway, a bit of bizarre bedtime reading for you, courtesy of your very own MoD. Yikes!

Mmmm, why is my second post “Awaiting for approval” but the above one got posted instantly? In fact, why do any posts require approval? It’s not exactly dodgy material. Another glitch in the DS matrix??
I think the main or only trigger for “waiting approval” is the number of links – maybe anything over 3. Probably an anti-spam feature built into WordPress which is what I think they use (an off the shelf website/forum thing, IIRC). No idea if it can be switched off, might not even be desirable to switch it off. Ideally maybe switch it off for users of long standing.
Well researched , it’s amazing how this secret MOD bollocks is now going mainstream , as an example would this mean the end of drug testing in sport or the actual end of sport once we have all been
augmentaly lobotomised !!!….
I have the ideal augmentation for the psychopathic sickos suggesting this, it involves surgical removal of the entire brain from the skull and re-insertion into the renal cavity allowing for a brain interface that makes sense. I think it would be an enormous improvement and no, they don’t need to thank me, it’s the least I can do for them.
A most excellent ( and very long ) essay by Dr Blaylock, retired neurosurgeon. It’s been doing the rounds for several months but I only just got round to reading it.
“We are all living through one of the most drastic changes in our culture, economic system, as well as political system in our nation’s history as well as the rest of the world. We have been told that we will never return to “normal” and that a great reset has been designed to create a “new world order”. This has all been outlined by Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum, in his book on the “Great Reset”.[66] This book gives a great deal of insight as to the thinking of the utopians who are proud to claim this pandemic “crisis” as their way to usher in a new world. This new world order has been on the drawing boards of the elite manipulators for over a century.[73,74] In this paper I have concentrated on the devastating effects this has had on the medical care system in the United States, but also includes much of the Western world. In past papers I have discussed the slow erosion of traditional medical care in the United States and how this system has become increasingly bureaucratized and regimented.[7,8] This process was rapidly accelerating, but the appearance of this, in my opinion, manufactured “pandemic” has transformed our health care system over night.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9062939/
From the above article:
“One must also keep in mind that this event never satisfied the criteria for a pandemic. The World Health Organization changed the criteria to make this a pandemic. To qualify for a pandemic status the virus must have a high mortality rate for the vast majority of people, which it didn’t (with a 99.98% survival rate), and it must have no known existing treatments—which this virus had—in fact, a growing number of very successful treatments.”
Avery long but excellent and highly informative read. And we are expected to believe this is a genuine illness, a true “pandemic.” A bloody insult to any intelligence.
And also from the above article by Russell Blaylock:
“Millions have been deliberately killed and crippled, not only by this engineered virus, but by the vaccine itself and by the draconian measures used by these governments to “control the pandemic spread”.
Elsewhere he states that those pushing this Scamdemic are clearly guilty of “mass murder.” It is a charge I have made previously on DS referencing one of our lead politicians and for which I received a telling off. It would appear greater authorities than me share the same opinion.
The mass murder accusation is irrefutable fact now. It’s all out there and not up for debate as far as I’m concerned. Many experts are saying so and sounding the alarm so it’s not like we’ve no evidence to back up our assertions. These excess deaths that aren’t due to Covid are never going to go away OR get a proper investigation are they?
“Cause unknown”??? Who the chuff is going to be satisfied with that on a loved one’s death cert?
Thanks Mogs and wholly agree.
It’s Blatant in full view & still it rolls on !!
I read somewhere that the excess deaths in the UK are the equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing every day. I’m pretty sure the MSM would be all over something that dramatic and deadly, but this…?
This is becoming too ordinary and we’re all expected to become desensitised to the ever-growing stats and accept it as the New Normal, no questions asked. They honestly expect us to take more notice of Ukraine or tit heads gluing themselves to walls rather than what’s happening right under our noses.
I’ve got another funeral to attend next week.
Yes I’m with you , Mike Yeadon & Vernon Coleman had it pegged from the off , Ryan Cole soon followed !
Bang on.
Dr Vernon Coleman had this from the off. Dr Mike Yeadon wasn’t far behind but I think he was astounded by what he saw unravelling and was struggling to believe it. Once he got his head round the evil he was our saint.
“The Mail reports that Moderna and Pfizer will investigate whether their shots cause long term issues as the first trials to determine long term impacts of the vaccine on the population are announced.”
No mention of a control group. The Mail take the chance to mention the “vaccines” are safe and effective, that side effects are rare, that the study used by the Florida surgeon general to recommend against the vaxx for young men had been criticised as flawed. NOT worth reading in full.
Didn’t think to do it before foisting it on 70% of the world’s population, eh? But the real issue is whether this means that, in the face of mounting and overwhelming evidence, they are going to start pulling back on the blanket censorship of jab death and damage victims – but not before its all been ‘normalised’, of course. Amnesty, anyone?
It will be a whitewash. Bit like changing criminal trail process to simply allowing the accused that they are not guilty and allowing them to go on their way unhindered.
There are no control groups because they were injected at something like the three month stage. We can therefore state with absolute confidence that the story that Pfisser and Murderna put out about how amazingly effective their gene editing injections are will be nothing but LIES.
Pandemic logic (USA)
People should be wearing KN95 or better masks because the surgical masks only work in classrooms.
I’m going to try again to post this. Fingers crossed! lol Here is an excellent essay by a retired neurosurgeon.
“For the first time in American history a president, governors, mayors, hospital administrators and federal bureaucrats are determining medical treatments based not on accurate scientifically based or even experience based information, but rather to force the acceptance of special forms of care and “prevention”—including remdesivir, use of respirators and ultimately a series of essentially untested messenger RNA vaccines. For the first time in history medical treatment, protocols are not being formulated based on the experience of the physicians treating the largest number of patients successfully, but rather individuals and bureaucracies that have never treated a single patient—including Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, EcoHealth Alliance, the CDC, WHO, state public health officers and hospital administrators.[23,38]”

I doubt that it’s the “first time in history”. I can think of three other instances immediately; most vaccination campaigns, ( particularly that for polio, a neurological disease probably caused by pesticides ), the fluoridation of water, ( a waste product of the chemical industry, “how can we make some money with this?”, very bad for developing brains/children ), and hospitals making women give birth lying down ( for decades, against all physiological sense, because made the doctor seem the active/dominant factor in what may be/often is women’s most powerful act ). I think that medical practices and policies have been tied up with politics and control of people for a long time, since women herbalists were burned because a threat/obstacle to the burgeoning new “medical profession”.
The YT compilation of all the talking tripe idiots was a useful record. As thet were all so keen to follow the CCP lead perhaps we can get them to offer themselves up to a firing squad; having of course firstly paid for the bullets?
