That top article is complete horsepoo. What it translates as is; ”1/5 of Brits weren’t daft enough to get a test to see if they had a specific cold virus, and especially not if they had no symptoms at all.”
Everyone will have had exposure to the damn thing by now, even if they were completely unaware of it. We’re over 3 years in FGS. Next!
My thoughts exactly Mogs. I will never have a test. If sticking a piece of bamboo into my brain passes for medicine they can stick it.
In August 2021 I was somewhat poorly with ‘flu-like symptoms for over ten days. So what laid me low? It is probably significant that I fell ill about four days after attending a large family gathering in which the vast majority were jabbed up so it’s a certainty that is where my infection came from – but I can’t say it was the C1984.
The population now has definitely been exposed to whatever bug might have been circulating so I agree:
“That top article is complete horsepoo.”
This is what happens when you give common colds and flu ‘special’ names LOL…!
Who knew so many would fall for the trick? That if you called a common respiratory virus Tom, Dick or Convid..it could take on special powers and elevate it to some higher level of consciousness that would fool the World?
The very same common virus, know about for thousands of years, and which all of mankind has always suffered from, and always will…..It’s a bit of evil genius really!!
“…even if they were completely unaware of it”?
This presupposes the existence of symptom-free Covid. Now we know there’s something odd about this virus compared to all previous respiratory pathogens, such as its transmission via aerosols. But other than a faulty PCR test, there’s nothing at all to substantiate that you can be a symptom-free “carrier” of Covid. Anyone I’ve ever known to test positive for Covid has felt shite for at least a week!
It’s clear to me that many many people are only testing AFTER the onset of specific symptoms. Many may test routinely also, but for instance in hospital workers who have to test every day, probability law dictates that there will be a high number of false positives generated, and these will be from those who test positive but feel completely fine (as in they don’t really have Covid. 1/5 of Brits sounds like a reasonable estimate.
A very good 15min excerpt on Joel Smalley’s ‘stack of a Jessica Rose interview, talking mainly about the jabs, VAERS and touching on lockdown harms. I’d like to watch the full thing though as he’s butchered the editing somewhat and Jessica is always a quality guest because she’s all about the data.
https://metatron.substack.com/p/necessary-safe-and-effective-expert
I agree, she’s always on the ball….but it’s never good news!!
She is reporting more bad news on the jabs in this article….
https://jessicar.substack.com/p/contamination-with-antibioticspike
Anandamide has published a Substack today that everybody needs to understand. The gist of the findings following sequencing of the Moderna and Pfizer bivalent COVID-19 products is that there is a high level of dsDNA contamination in the Pfizer products. This dsDNA contamination is in the form of circular expression vectors containing a spike gene and two antibiotic resistance genes for kanamycin and neomycin.
LOL I posted this earlier on the excess deaths article. We move in the same circles, me and you.
And while I’m on the theme of the Mail running crappy articles, apparently a study in the US demonstrates the non-death jabbed are more likely to get diabetes. Make of this what you will;
”Dr Alan Kwan, a cardiologist who led the study, said: ‘These results suggest that Covid vaccination prior to infection may provide a protective effect against diabetes risk.
‘Although further studies are needed to validate this hypothesis, we remain steadfast in our belief that Covid vaccination remains an important tool in protecting against Covid and the still-uncertain risks that people may experience during the post-infection period.”’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11749827/Now-scientists-claim-youre-likely-develop-DIABETES-youre-unvaccinated-against-Covid.html
I saw that. The comments section is encouraging.
No one buys this. The entire premise is so farcical, it makes the author look like a slavish dolt.
Do they bother with editors concerned with ludicrous claims on DM?
Eh, probably not actually…
Yes I had a quick peruse and thought so too, which is heartening. And who can take any doctor who is allegedly ”doing science” seriously if they say; ”we remain steadfast in our belief..” re the death jabs? I mean, that doesn’t sound like a man of science at all to me, it sounds like a science-denier who’s clinging onto the last wooden plank from his boat to save himself from drowning as his house of cards that he’s wedded himself to thus far has tumbled down. ”belief”?! He also sounds like a right flaming shill. Wonder what his conflicts of interest are if I could be bothered to check…The bioweapon jabs are just a faith-based system of dangerous lies, and I’m willing to bet he’s a bloody masktard to boot! As ever I’ll defer to legit cardiologists and await Drs McCullough and Malhotra’s opinion on this study’s findings.
And in other news –
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9107966/
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dme.14631
Ha, yes exactly. Good find. I thought this topic of diabetes emerging post-jab seemed familiar. I saw it on Dr McCullough’s substack recently. I think he’s citing a different paper to yours;
”It has been said we are in a chronic disease epidemic of diabetes mellitus. Before COVID-19, approximately 10% of diabetes was juvenile Type 1, which is an auto-immune illness characterized by auto-antibodies against pancreatic islet cells. The remaining 90% is adult onset type 2 diabetes characterized by lifelong excess in adiposity and insulin resistance. Mass vaccination with mRNA and adenoviral DNA vaccines may change the epidemiology of diabetes as we know it. There are several papers emerging concerning new onset diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis after taking a COVID-19 shot. Moon and colleagues reported a well characterized case of new onset type 1 diabetes in an adult temporally related to COVID-19 vaccination.”

“Cancel the Vikings” – Rod Liddle in the Spectator wonders what took them so long to realise the “Vikings may have been a bit right-of-centre and therefore ripe for a spot of cancelling”.
It’s an excellent point. Television is awash with romanticising the blood, gore, rape and pillaging committed by the Vikings. Compare their portrayal to that of the evil English imperialists spreading Western infrastructure and culture.
I am English and proud to be.
I know it’s Rob Liddle so not meant to be taken seriously, but calling the Vikings ‘right wing’ is as ahistorical as saying Edward II was gay, purely projection of current prejudices back into history. I suppose romanticising them is just as bad really but Up Helly Aa looks like fun.
The Vikings didn’t even have a left or a right, they were seafarers, raiders, warriors, farmers and fishermen (not fisherthem!). Must we always attach these political attributes to explain behaviour from the past. It’s so dull. I imagine I would be described as a far right white supremacist just because I didn’t want an effin’ jab, don’t believe in the climate hype, want the mass immigration to stop, don’t believe the msm Ukraine narrative and I’m proud to call myself English and more but I’m just an ordinary fella…
Yep, we’re definitely on the same page Aethelred.
What is the point of the Sy Hersh story ATL…? It has no information that the original, which was already posted, didn’t have?
I’ll repost this, as I posted it later last night…(a re-tweet from El Gato Malo….)
BREAKING: A @Dept of Defense Source Speaking On The Condition Of Anonymity Told Me Details Of How @Joe Biden Ordered The Nordstream Pipelines Destroyed In June But Then Got Nervous & Changed Orders To PLACE THE BOMBS But Make Them Capable Of Later Detonation.
He DID NOT Inform Germany But DID Inform Norway Sweden and Denmark.
The CIA Informed Joe Biden Our Navy Had A Way To Place Bombs On Pipelines & Use A Raytheon Air Dropped Sonar Trigger At A Later Time.
The Navy Had Concerns That A Long Delay Between Placing The Explosives (C-4) & Detonating With A Sonar Drop Buoy Would Cause A Bomb Failure…

As I said yesterday, I don’t know who this man is, or whether he’s a know reliable source..but then again there have been smears against the Pulitzer Prize winning Hersh……but obviously this story is still running…
This is curious….I haven’t read this anywhere….so are they dropping the ‘quackcine’ quietly?? Not entirely sure what to make of it….

Changes to coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine booster doses. After 12 February 2023 you will not be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose.
Some people who are at increased risk, for example because of age or certain medical conditions, may be offered a seasonal booster later this year. If you are eligible for this, the NHS will contact you when it’s your turn to get vaccinated.

An update on the latest US train derailments. They are now more common than varieties of Billy’s viruses.
Short read.
According to Politifact, there are roughly 1000 train derailments in the US each year, so 5 inside a month is not unusual.
WTbloodyF!! 1000 train derailments? How? Why? I mean that is one heck of a lotta trains going horizontal. Imagine if that was over here, there’d be a massive outcry or some sort of reaction other than ‘Oh it’s just another of those pesky train derailments…lucky it ain’t nuclear waste! Ho hum’. !!!!!
LOL!….
https://aviationweek.com/defense-space/aircraft-propulsion/hobby-clubs-missing-balloon-feared-shot-down-usaf
A small, globe-trotting balloon declared “missing in action” by an Illinois-based hobbyist club on Feb. 15 has emerged as a candidate to explain one of the three mystery objects shot down by four heat-seeking missiles launched by U.S. Air Force fighters since Feb. 10.
The club—the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade (NIBBB)—is not pointing fingers yet.
But the circumstantial evidence is at least intriguing. The club’s silver-coated, party-style, “pico balloon” reported its last position on Feb. 10 at 38,910 ft. off the west coast of Alaska, and a popular forecasting tool—the HYSPLIT model provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)—projected the cylindrically shaped object would be floating high over the central part of the Yukon Territory on Feb. 11. That is the same day a Lockheed Martin F-22 shot down an unidentified object of a similar description and altitude in the same general area.
In the interest of safety and security, HOLD THAT HANDRAIL!!
