A year ago last March, Disney decided to take on the entire government of Florida. The Florida Legislature passed the Parental Rights In Education Act, which prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in schools until the age of nine. Disney, spearheaded by their CEO, Bob Chapek, publicly protested this legislation, presumably in the belief that what Disney’s shareholders want is a company that supports the teaching of gender identity ideology to children under the age of nine, as opposed to a company that will make them money. Disney would phrase this differently, of course. It believes this uber-woke stuff will make the company money as its future customers will have grown up in this environment and will want this kind of stuff embedded in movies, tv shows, parks, etc.
Unfortunately, Disney did not seem to realise that it was taking on a formidable adversary – the State of Florida. And not just any state but the one which has provided Disney with the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID). This is a massive self-governing 25,000-acre property given over to Disney 55 years ago to do with what it likes. And Disney likes theme parks in the RCID – four of them including Disney World and numerous other affiliated businesses. Taking on the state in which you are the biggest recipient of its’ largesse is a strategy that would have given General Custer pause. Especially, as with all Disney movies, there is an arch villain. Step forward Florida’s Governor, Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis is a popular conservative who believes in effective limited government, and maximum individual freedom, and hates all manifestations of the woke cult, from ESG to DEI. And he will be running for President in 2024. The liberal press hates him of course; in fact, he has been compared to Genghis Khan (that last one was courtesy of Vanity Fair), Nazis, Stalin and Mussolini. And that was just in the last few weeks.
DeSantis is the face of the growing amount of ‘anti-woke’ legislation in Florida, and is always up for a fight. This is the guy who, fed up with the Biden Administration’s deliberate opening of our southern border to any and all illegal immigrants, shipped off as many illegals as it could find in Florida to self-proclaimed “sanctuary states” elsewhere, such as Martha’s Vineyard, New York City, and Washington, D.C.
In addition, the Empire struck back and passed legislation stripping Disney of its ability to run the RCID as a self-governing property. DeSantis and the Florida legislature stripped Disney of its RCID control and placed it under the control of a Board appointed by him. DeSantis then turned up on Disney’s doorstep in February in Lake Buena Vista to announce: “Today, the corporate kingdom finally comes to an end. There’s a new sheriff in town and accountability will be the order of the day.”
Meanwhile Disney is on a heart-dropping ride so scary it should plan on making it a ride at one of its’ parks. Surprisingly, not all of this can be blamed on Big Bad Ron. The studio has also given its movie division a woke facelift, with disastrous consequences. Pixar’s Toy Story spinoff Lightyear lost $100M last year. The animated film Strange World released at the end of last year has lost nearly $150 Million. As the gay movie critic, Rob Smith, pointed out: “Disney’s Strange World cartoon, which features a gay teen in love with another boy, FLOPPED with a disastrous $18M opening on a $180M budget. Most adults have NO PROBLEM with gays. They obviously DO have a problem with LGBT propaganda in kids’ flicks.”
But that’s the tip of the iceberg. Streaming services such as Disney+ and Hulu are seriously underperforming as Disney is failing to leverage its massive Covid-era revenues from its hitherto lucrative movie franchises. The Disney Board got rid of Chapek a few months back and replaced him with former CEO Bob Iger. Iger does not seem to want to make it up with DeSantis, and instead is busy channeling Scrooge McDuck. Seven thousand Disney employees are being laid off as part of the plan to save $5.5 Billion in operating costs. Oh, and the stock price has gone all Tower Of Terror and plummeted from $190 two years ago to $98 today.
Disney tried a Hail Mary play a couple of weeks back by having the original RCID Board vote to let Disney have control over all development rights in perpetuity. Usually DeSantis has a very serious business-oriented mien, but this time he relaxed and decided to have some fun. He held a press conference at which he cited many of the things that Florida could do in retaliation. Tolls on all roads into the Disney parks was a good one, but the best suggestion he made was building a State prison on Florida-owned land next to Disney World. The liberal press does not understand jokes and so of course this became articles along the lines of “not even Hitler would think of building a prison next to the sacred site of Mickey!” More prosaically, the Florida legislature instead is busy passing more legislation to nullify Disney’s last minute maneuvering.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Yes, this is a significant acknowledgment and should be big news. To all those tens of millions of people who have natural immunity – many of whom have been fired because they refused to get vaccinated – is the government going to issue them an apology and let them have their jobs back?
How convenient is Ukraine, because that’s all you will hear about in the BBC.
It will be bigly news my friend at least in the UK, according to a leak from an unknown Downing Street source. Sadgit Jabit and Mumbo Jumbo the clown jabber are due to hold a press conference announcing this fantastic hitherto unforeseen outcome, apologizing unreservedly for the vax mandates and setting out plans for a compensation road map for all the summarily dismissed care workers.
Isn’t this mainly referring to infection before an additional vaccination?
And the results are again abused and misrepresented even if not, as the dosage and vaxxed advantage reference is made towards unvaxxed and uninfected people only, not towards umvaxxed immune/previously infected ones.
And then, it’s all about extinct Delta….
In Germany, the PEI, which changed the profile definition of the ‘vaccinations’ 3 times already, recently changed it again and deleted all references to them providing immunity or any transmission reducing effect.
Nevertheless, the government still wants to press ahead with mandatatory vaccination…
Vacination 2023 definition: something injected into a body that provides immunity solely to the injector and contents manufacturer.
They appear to have a mad Health Secretary and presumably an almost mad Chancellor who allows deranged cabinet colleagues to stay in office. If Gove gets near power, the UK will be in the same position.
I sadly suspect that the plan is to
1 butcher the Human Rights Act 1998 to downplay individual rights
2 repeal or amend the Public Health Act 1984 which bans compulsory jabs
3 mandate jabs, depending on which bioweapons Gates/Fauci/Schwab/Soros/Farrar choose to release.
Regarding 3, we’re regularly told this is ‘the age of pandemics’. So it must be true.
I slightly doubt it. Sceptic medics whose articles I’ve read seem to think that regular travel, exposure to others’ bugs, would tend to keep people’s immune systems in better shape to resist a really bad and brand new virus.
It’s very circumstantial evidence but post-WW2 the UK seems to have had three notably bad flu outbreaks and none were recent. They were:
1957 Asian flu
1968 Hong Kong flu
1977 Russian flu.
After the age of mass air travel got into its stride, I can’t see that it got worse and it may have got better.
I hear the 1968 one they still enjoyed Woodstock Festival.
The WHO want countries to sign up to the WHO having sole control of the next pandemic, to provide a single world response. The Council for World Health have written a strongly worded letter to the WHO.
This is basically one world government by the back door & our treasonous politicians, the PM & Health Secretary, have agreed to sign away our human rights & our nation state.
World Council for Health | Home
This power grab needs to be made much more public, the WHO can only intervene with our consent – we as a population need to make sure that the PM, Health Secretary & WHO are aware that we do NOT consent.
How? And do you believe they’d heed us?
By writing/emailing the PM, the Health Secretary, your MP, the WHO especially the people who are listed on the World Council for Health letter to the WHO.
The word needs to be spread about this. With the media only reporting on what is going on in Ukraine, this is quietly being slipped through, along with other legislation which aims to remove our individual human rights
Even if all you do is to make your family & friends aware of this, that is doing an important part. That is far better than doing nothing.
I thought they were backing off on mandatory jabs, they really are scraping the barrel.
Sadly, the inference I draw from that is that the “top-up” to the “booster” to the “full course” will shortly need a “refresh”.
They’re going to need a bigger thesaurus.
cashing in before the big fraud case!
Yes, it would appear they would like to quantify and therefore justify how many boosters will be required to provide a similar level of protection to the unvaccinated-but-recovered cohort. 2 additional boosters? 3? 5? 10? Every 4 months for a year? Two years? Ten? “And the lemmings will follow …”
Good grief, there is actually a National Statistician. Where’s he been hiding?
Under the arses of SAGE
Had the flu-like covid symptoms back in Feb 2020 – lasted 3/4 days before making a full recovery – never had a thing since – none of the variants … nothing. I’ve never had the jabs either and yet every single one of my friends and relations who have been double/triple jabbed have all had never-ending bouts of cold-like symptoms along with other jab related problems ranging from an endless recurrence of cold-sores, skin rashes, headaches, shivers, fevers and in one case double vision whilst driving.
Glad I never had the jab … thank you Mike Yeadon.
A friend my age (68) who follows ‘medical orthdoxy’ a bit more than me has had a chronic sore throat for three months. Apparently his BP medication has also been giving new side-effects which weren’t there before 2021.
Why do people trust the NHS on anything after the past two years?
I had all the symptoms in January 2020 – was sick for at least a week, but tested negative for the flu. I have never tested positive since. I too suspect I had antibodies and acquired natural immunity – two months before the first official case in my state.
Antibodies are NOT a corrolate for immunity against SARS COV-2, period.
Natural immunity develops antibodies to >39 different epitopes, mRNA Transfection develops antibodies to a single epitope.
A trillion antiboides from vaccination is not the same as a trilion antibodies from natural infection, this is the myth they use to sell a defective, dangerous, gene transfection.
Natural immunity also develops different types of immune cells, macrophages, Natural Killer Cells, Dendritic cells, CD8+ T cells etc. to every epitope these are NOT devolped fromthe mRNA transfection. These cells are directed to the site of infection, in the mucus membranes.
When the site of infection is all over the body via transfection throughout the bloodstream the immune system has no clue where the infection is, and goes haywire trying to direct immune cells to the site of infection.
Oof this is a big admission. What a shame it’s no longer relevant to the designated emergency.
yes
do people who were called conspiracy theorists 6 months ago get an apology now?
Add another one to the “conspiracy theory that is actually right” list.
Who would ever have thought that the human immune system would treat covid precisely the same as it has err, dealt with every other upper respiratory virus it has encountered over millennia.
Got to hand it to the virus researchers though, bits of HIV and a 19 sequence nucleotide (and patented by Moderna) never seen before presented a bit of a challenge but nature triumphs. Quelle surprise.
Why is this not headline news 24/7 – and the fact that the bastards who created this should be strung up and ALL “research” biolabs destroyed.
I said this to someone a yr ago, got called a “reality denier”
oh I did laugh.
Sceptics now: clutching our bellies in laughter.
Injectionists now: clutching their chests in pain.
Diamond by name
So did they lie to us? Or were they lied to by liers? Or was it a malevolent plan to coerce the CRETINOUS into accepting an untested cytotoxin that will potentially end their lives prematurely in the month’s and year’s to come…(rhetorical)
Given that they’re all bullshitters or charlatans (or both), why worry which definition is more accurate? The effect on most of the public has been the same.
now Whity and the sage doom masters have gone a different narrative is creeping through.
I wonder why that is.
This new variant is something to “keep an eye on” just in case things go quiet over Ukraine.
oof LFA-1 as yet another receptor for SARS-COV2 entry to add to the list?

This will take some unpicking. Biology isn’t as simple as the cartoon version sold to us by the government and big pharma.
On a first read through, it’s just another reason (to add to the plethora of other papers) why the mRNA jabs don’t work.
Article referenced in letter linked here
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01721-6
The estimated mean time from second vaccination to antibody measurements reaching levels associated with 67% protection was 55–86 days for ChAdOx1-vaccinated participants without prior infection
For BNT162b2, the estimated mean durations were 161–227 days
For unvaccinated participants infected previously, using a model of antibody declines after natural infection16, the duration from diagnosis to the level associated with 67% protection was estimated to be 1–2 years (!!!!!!)
The graph here tells the full story
Proof of recovery from Covid certificates (valid 6 months in the EU) are not valid for entry into the UK.
And they claim this is about “health”.
It is about making money – you take their ‘vaccines’ which are paid for from your taxes, and from which they get backhanders – or you are designated ‘unvaccinated’ and punished.
My other half received a snotty text message from the NHS today. It said that their records show he has only had 1 jab (true – he had one a year ago as he thought he wouldn’t be able to do things without it; but he has since woken up!), so he needs to book more.
He’s deleted it and is ignoring it.
They are still jolly determined to JAB EVERYONE!!!
As an aside – I wonder if the Ukrainian refugees that people are being urged to take into their homes will have to be triple jabbed first? No jab, no lodgings?
I’m uncertain about that ‘determined’. It’s probably some functionaries’ job to send out reminders to semi-jabbed. If they didn’t do it, they’d either be reprimanded or not have a job.
I’ve not had a remonstrance yet and I’ve had a magnificent zero jabs, so perhaps it’s only the partially-jabbed that trigger a message?
The EU is already making the bioweapon injection a condition of being given refuge or a 3 x weekly PCR test.
Breaking the Geneva Convention, UNESCO Universal Declaration of Bioethics & Human Rights, Nuremburg Code….
Can’t treat a PoW that badly!
You can on humanitarian grounds apparently. Use The Farce, Luke.
Uptake of the jabs has fallen off for evident reasons – they don’t work for example – and the have millions of unused doses near expiry so they are desperate to unload them and avoid embarrassing Daily Mail headlines about millions of wasted vaccines.
If they’d only been purchased for ”public health” concerns – then they could be just as well thrown in the bin. But they’ve got a much more useful purpose, which is why they must be used ”properly” and logged to show it.
Just wait for the Ukrainians to re-introduce tuberculosis!
Already here – courtesy of ‘visitors’ from France.
So glad I held out and have got my lovely natural immunity.
Sadly none of the people I love have got theirs. If only they had done the same.
:))))) It’s official: MAJOR FARCE based on a test that can’t even detect infections, suported by the UBER shity Corman-Drosten protocol. Wise ppl could see that coming for 2 years. Jail is not enough for that Rona crowd.
Lovely of you that you’ve finally admitted it.
Now, can we stop jabbing minors and refugees with this untested shite?
My 75 year old aunt texted me last night to tell me she and my uncle tested positive for Covid. I drove to their house at 12:30 AM and dropped off Ivermectin pills, HCQ, zinc, and Quercetin. She told me today her fever came down and that I may have saved her life. Uncle is feeling great. This is considered a negative outcome by the cabal. They would prefer my family dead. Their evil is no longer a theory and very much a reality. You can get your ivm by visiting https://ivmpharmacy.com
U.K. Government Admits Natural Immunity is Stronger Than Vaccine Immunity – after two years of vaccine deception, administrative incompetence, and a general all-round screwing over of UK citizens. Now, when will members of this government turn themselves in for investigation and/or the stocks?
Sticks? I have rope in mind.
Later. Stocks first – much more fun. Plus a barrel of tar and some chicken feathers and a lot of tomatoes (preferably ones in a tin).
The denial of the superiority of natural post infection has always been deeply anti-science.
The entire point of inoculation/vaccination is to safely imitate a harmless infection in order to provoke the body’s natural immune response.
If infection cannot provide post-infection immunity, then there is no rational or scientific basis for vaccination.
Well put. If only you hadn’t posted it after the death of the Age of Reason.
The denial was to increase sales of the mRNA jollop.
‘Jollop’ – I like that word.
A great outcome but not sure what this test is telling people? It looks like a primer for a booster?
People should only have antibodies when they need them. As explained simply by Sucharit Bhakdi, your body produces antibodies when it needs them, as a response. We don’t all wonder around fully charged with antibodies for everything. We get exposed to an infection and react to it based on previous exposure and overal health.
Correct. We react based on previous exposure whether natural or vaccine, and that’s the problem with these viruses which mutate rapidly and diversely, when we encounter later generations our immune system is imprinted on the original antigen and pumps out immune agents geared to the original one which have no effect on the new one.
This is what we have observed with Omicron and we know (but ignore) from prior experience with other respiratory viruses.
Not so according to the retired scientists. See a popular video of Dr Yeadon wearing glasses and still recognisable. It may be true of the injections but it’s one of a few flaws.
So all those who resisted the coercion because they had had Covid were right ….. and they will have zero damage from the gene therapies.
When is the Government going to admit that they deliberately risked the long-term health of people who did not need their monkey jab?
what can one expect from an institution that in the same paragraph claims that double vaccination decreases the chance on infection by 67%?
Compared to what? The question is what is the risk in the first place? Reducing an insignificant risk by 67% is still insignificant. Risk reduction on a 1 in 3 million risk, reduces it to 1 in 1 million. So what?
Risk of death from the virus across the population is 0.00132%. Since the risk in the first place is near zero, reducing it further is meaningless.
As for ‘the vulnerable’ their risk of death is near 100% from other medical conditions, reducing the risk from one thing just leaves the others. It’s like jumping off the top of a skyscraper wearing a crash helmet to reduce the risk of death from head injuries.
suggestion: you actually read the article before commenting?
One wonders whether Javid is going to argue the toss with the ONS like he did with the anaesthetist doctor.
The proposition that infection would not provide natural immunity was deeply unscientific, if not actually anti-science.
It never passed the laugh test.
The whole point of inoculation/vaccination is to inject a (hopefully) harmless agent into the body for the purpose of provoking an immune response that would protect from infection.
If infection by the disease does not provide natural immunity, then there is absolutely no scientific basis for inoculation/vaccination.
Except – antibodies are not the first line of defence against respiratory viruses where the initial battle is on the mucosa of the nasopharynx inside mucosal cells invaded by the virus where it reproduces and cannot be reached by antibodies. It is cytotoxic T cells launched by immune response to the virus which destroys the invaded cells that matter. It is only when the virus becomes systematic that antibodies can kill them, but by then viral load is high, symptoms present, and the subject is infectious. This is precisely why the mRNA pseudo-vaccines have failed.
It is why we don’t already have vaccines against respiratory viruses – including the four other coronaviruses which cause 10% of Colds – and why ‘flu vaccines are largely ineffective.
Prior to March 2020 this was medical knowledge.
It still is, but it doesn’t suit the narrative.
It’s all pantomime anyway, since we’ve known for a long time that this is a viral disease harmless to the VAST majority of people. As we were told by our very own Prof Wittery back on 11 May 2020:
