The Government was not prepared for a man-made virus and should have been quicker and firmer in its response, Michael Gove told the Covid Inquiry today.
The Minister for the Cabinet Office during the pandemic added that his view on the need for lockdowns changed at the end of February 2020 due to information supplied by “friends outside Government”.
His comments provide new support for the theory that Western Governments imposed lockdowns during March 2020 because its key decisionmakers were convinced that the virus was man-made and possibly an escaped bioweapon.
Mr. Gove said he initially shared Boris Johnson’s concerns about “overreacting” and the economic consequences.
At the very end of February I was inclined to give substantial weight to the Prime Minister’s concerns. It was only in the succeeding days that I became more and more convinced actually that action was required.
He said the introduction of lockdowns in parts of Italy had influenced him, but that it was “also material that had been sent to me by friends outside Government that led me to believe action was needed”.
Hugo Keith KC, Lead Counsel to the Inquiry, failed to ask Mr. Gove what this key “material from friends outside Government” was or who sent it to him.
The inquiry was also shown WhatsApp messages between Mr. Gove and Dominic Cummings, the Prime Minister’s then-most senior adviser, where Mr. Gove wrote on March 4th 2020 that “the whole situation is even worse than you think”:
You know me, I don’t often kick off. But we are f—ing up as a Government and missing golden opportunities. I will carry on doing what I can but the whole situation is even worse than you think and action needs to be taken or we’ll regret it for a long time.
Mr. Gove told the Covid Inquiry that while “Covid was on my mind” the “principal thing that I was messaging about” was “the Cabinet Office overall, including its ability to deal with Covid”. However, the words used – “the whole situation is even worse than you think and action needs to be taken or we’ll regret it for a long time” – and the timing, shortly after being sent “material from friends outside Government” that persuaded him the virus threat warranted extreme restrictions, suggests that Covid may in fact have been the primary concern.
Mr. Gove added that the problem was the Government had not been prepared for a specifically man-made virus:
We were not well prepared as we should have been ideally. I think that is true. Again, it’s in the nature of the fact that the virus was novel and, indeed, I think this probably goes beyond the remit of the inquiry this, a significant body of judgement that believes that the virus itself was man-made and that presents sort of challenges as well.
While public statements from scientists from February 2020 onwards have attempted to play down the idea that the virus came from a lab, it has since emerged that behind the scenes scientists were very concerned about the possibility.
The Brownstone Institute’s Jeffrey Tucker has recorded how in early March 2020 – around the same time that Michael Gove was being passed the persuasive “material” – Tucker Carlson went with information from U.S. intelligence sources to tell then-U.S. President Donald Trump that he needed to take the threat from the virus much more seriously because it could be a bioweapon from China. (Carlson has since said that he very much regrets his role.)
It has long been a mystery why exactly Western Governments began in spring 2020 copying China in imposing extreme countermeasures against the novel coronavirus. While the emerging situation in northern Italy and pandemic-preparedness groupthink have provided plausible motives, they have not by themselves seemed adequate to account for the extraordinary way that Western Governments went all-in for unprecedented lockdowns during those critical three weeks. The idea that behind the scenes intelligence sources were pushing warnings that the virus was a deadly man-made biological agent warranting an extreme response has much to commend it as an explanation, the more so as time has passed. Michael Gove’s comments to the inquiry today have added to this.

Aren’t they predominantly kneelers, though?
I would have thought none of them would want to be seen anywhere near Qatar’s World Cup anyway, you know, just to be consistent, like
Kneeling is about virtue signalling and publicly demonstrating submission to the Official Truth, of course, so they aren’t being inconsistent in that sense by going to Qatar.
That was kind of my point.
No harm in reinforcing
Moreover, boycotting Qatar would require a spine, as opposed to pretentious bitching about a murder thousands of miles away.
And a rapist
Love to know who the down ticking 77 cunts are. Love to meet you in the real world.
I don’t think they ever venture into the real world somehow.
They are members of the latter day church of the late Jim Jones, now known as Branch Covidians.
I’ll forgive the ‘kneelers’ if they are brave enough and principled enough to hold out against this barbarism.
A kneel is for a couple of seconds, no risk, plenty of easy virtue points, whereas an unnecessary jab is potentially a lot more serious…
Another awful propaganda piece from the disgusting rag that is the mail. People who turn down the experimental injection never do so because of their own volition do they? They were always manipulated into it by someone else and ‘misinformation’ apparently. Whereas no one who took the shot was coerced into at all…
Yes, the 180 degree distortion of reality/truth (along with all the identity/woke etc, distortion) is just so bloody abhorrent.
It really pisses me off – the people claiming to be the good guys actually are the ones who embody exactly the behaviours/attitudes they condemn: misinformation, coercion, bullying, segregation, racisim, unfairness, intollerance, freedom, and so forth. They are all primative, spiteful, childlike, self-centred … corrosively burning away at society.
It’s a telling sign of how low society and the media has fallen when vitamins are smeared as a conspiracy theory.
Go it, boys. I’ve no time for footballers normally, but I’ll back you all the way. It’ll be the best thing you’ve ever done for England.
“Three senior team members are reportedly among the rebels who believe they are too healthy to suffer Covid or have been pressured by their wives.
One is said to have brazenly declared he was too “young and fit” to be negatively affected by the virus, while another reportedly believes the anti-vaxxer ‘conspiracy theories’ about the jab.
The rest of the players are understood to have been ‘pressured’ not to get the jab by their wives or girlfriends who are against the vaccine.”
These hooligans must be brought to justice by the forces of the righteous!
maybe the england players are anti-racist and think its better someone vulnerable in a developing country gets the vaccine they themselves clearly don’t need
Because apparently we’re not safe til everyone in the world is safe….
“If they have the right to force you to accept vaccine, they have the right to force you to be castrated. Same fundamental issue. Do you have the right to control what medical procedures are done to you, or do you not. It is that simple.
…
The state has no right to require anyone to accept a medical procedure against their will. Therefore, medical procedure mandates are wrong. Whether vaccines or cliterectomy. Wrong. Not ethical. Not acceptable. This is my position.

It’s been the norm in Wales for years. Unless you’ve explicitly opted out, they can chop out whatever bits of you they like and do whatever they like with them. So far, they’ve had the decency to wait until you’re dead, but that might not always be the case in future.
Question: will they actually want our filthy unvaccinated body parts?
If they can’t use them, they’ll sell them on – isn’t that how all this medical bobbins works?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jigsaw_Man
What’s the welsh for Jigsaw?
I opted out fairly recently after becoming overwhelmed by a strange feeling that I should. I can’t explain it and I know it makes me look like a terrible person, but something tells me it was the right thing to do.
I’ve also opted out.
England became opt out, rather than in, reasonably recently.
Oh it’s the same here. I opted out immediately. I’ve been against beating heart donation since a girl I was at school with was knocked off her bike, offered up as a donor and only as they were prepping to remove her organs, noticed she was still alive.
I do NOT trust the system to not misdiagnose “brain stem death” (a nonsense diagnosis in itself) in order to feed the transplant system.
Excellent article – but the author talks about something like this happening within “decades”. To my mind the way things are going this could be happening within maybe a couple of years.
That is not what Javid thinks. He is quoted today as saying about care home staff, who are not willing to get the Covid jab ;“ if you want to work in care home, you are working with some of the most vulnerable people in our country. And if you can’t be bothered to go and get vaccinated, then get out and go and get another job.” If that is the case the next step will be hospital staff too. Doctors, ambulance workers. There is a whole host of them that he could bring in under the “protect the vulnerable” tagline.
That’s the plan. The care home staff retrain as HGV drivers.
All those people (in any job) who are told “no jab then no job anymore” should not leave voluntarily, but wait until they are dismissed, as otherwise they have no chance of future legal action against the employer for discriminatory dismissal on health grounds.
Caveat: That’s my understanding of the situation in the UK, but I’m not a lawyer.
Correct, and there are plenty of other grounds as well independent from any contractual terms.
BUT, never forget that the bastards can alter the law in any way they choose, so, watch this space….
“But on Thursday night the league received reassurances from the Government that unvaccinated players will remain available for selection if Covid passports are made compulsory at mass events.”
The corrupt blackmail is constant and everywhere, pushing and pushing.
Ex-England player Chris Waddle branded it “embarrassing” and called for a “simple no jab no play” policy. But former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara hit back, saying “it’s a choice and everyone has a choice in life”.
This totalitarian push is certainly sorting the sheep from the goats.
And Chris Waddle is certainly no goat.
He already demonstrated he was weak minded when he missed that penalty in the shoot out.
Chris Waddle wants to stick to what he knows best, whatever that is.
Missing penalties?
making sausages was his trade iirc
Hold the line, chaps. You can’t experience victory if you’re dead.
My body. My choice. My choice is ‘no’.
Despicable excuse for journalism continues unabated.
we are not conspiracy theorists though are we? How many young people have died after taking the poison?
It matters not in bedwetter land. Anyone declining the vaccine, for whatever reason, is automatically labelled an anti-vaxx, conspiracy theorist nutjob.
Perhaps some:
https://dailysceptic.org/2021/10/01/deaths-among-teenagers-up-56-since-vaccine-rollout-began/
Maybe the smarter footballers and their WAGS just want to know first, what the secret ingredient is in the vaccines which makes up 22% of them?https://www.lewrockwell.com/2021/10/jon-rappoport/boosters-how-to-kill-more-people-with-impunity/
As Jon correctly concludes, without knowing this, informed consent is simply and plainly impossible.
(Not that it would change my and likely theirs hesitancy and concerns about the gunks’ other issues, but this illustrates the recklessness, dimension of that problem and the sheer idiocy of everyone who decided or coerced one to fly blind.)
Sorry to offer an incredibly cynical opinion, but footballers get paid a lot of money and WAGs can bathe in the reflected glory… unless the WAG is replaced by a different model. Should the WAG have some kids with the footballer, their standard of living is going to be pretty good for a long time. Naturally they’re going to steer clear of anything that could affect fertility in any way. Perhaps that argument is the best available leverage to solidify resistance.
If WAGS are worried about heart problems and have concluded the risk of those and other side effects outweighs the risk of Covid, which they and their guys probably had long ago anyway, I want to apologise to WAGS for all those years when I assumed their main interest was eyeliner.
I would imagine if they hold out for a couple of years they’ll be guaranteed a place in the England squad.
The way things are going the nation will only be able to muster a five-a-side squad.
Why can’t reporters QUANTIFY the health risks from COVID for healthy athletes?
To do this we would need data on the number of athletes who have died or been hospitalized from COVID. The press never includes this information in their stories on “athletes who refuse the jab.”
In this story, one athlete argues that he has no health risk even if he does test positive. Well, the data – if presented – would show he is absolutely correct.
I’ve been looking for stories that document COVID deaths among active athletes – from junior high through the pros – and have not found one such story … in 19 months. So it appears that the probability that an athlete will die from COVID is 0 and however many athletes there are in the world (many millions).
It would also be nice if we received definitive data on the number of athletes who have tested positive who were asymptomatic (or had only very mild symptoms). This information is also never included in stories, and reporters are apparently under orders to not seek out this information.
One could also quantify how many athletes who have tested positive later came back to play and practice with no effects. This percentage is probably 99.999. My favorite example of the protocol silliness is golfer Jon Rahm, who was disqualified from a PGA tournament he was leading by seven strokes (!) because he tested positive for COVID. Takeaway: So it is possible to run away from the field while infected with COVID. When Rahm had “recovered” two or three weeks later, he promptly won another big tournament.
Why do athletes need “protection” from this virus if it poses almost literally zero health risk to them? A few athletes apparently understand this and are even willing to ask this common-sense question. It would be nice if some reporters provided the statistics and data that prove this assertion is 100-percent factual. But this has not happened, and will not happen.
Who is spreading “misinformation” here? Journalists are spreading misinformation by refusing to publish accurate and relevant information.
Here is an article I wrote where I state quite plainly that there was/is no health risk from COVID to healthy athletes. This story was published in July 2020. I wrote versions of this story in June 2020 – 16 months ago.
How did I know this and all of the expert Medical Advisory Panels at some of the most prestigious universities in America did not? Who was right – a freelance journalist with a science education that ended with 11th grade chemistry – or the best “experts” in the world?
A week or two after this article was published the big American sports conferences the Big 10 and the Pac 12 actually cancelled all sports … to protect college athletes.
They must have thought people like myself were kooks. Mainstream editors must have thought I was a kook, which is why none would publish this article. Certainly, I. never saw ONE article in the mainstream sports press that said that COVID poses virtually no risk to healthy young athletes …. A month or so after my contrarian article was published, these sports conferences rescinded their decision and allowed college athletes to play sports after all. Like I predicted, none died or were hospitalized.
I wouldn’t change a word of this story today.
https://uncoverdc.com/2020/07/31/covid-19-poses-virtually-no-health-risk-to-athletes/
I post my previous article for one reason only – to provide a rebuttal to the omniprescent argument that non-experts like myself can’t challenge or question the pronouncements and conclusions fo the real authorities and experts.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve been asked “are you a doctor? Are you a scientist?” The obvious implication being that only those with medical degrees or PhD’s can state an opinion on viruses (or the health risks of COVID to athletes).
Well, I’m not a doctor or scientist, but I stated my own conclusions and observations anyway. These conclusions were based on critical-thinking and analysis of copious amounts of known data (and one does not have to have a medical degree to make these observations and reach these conclusions).
It is telling to me that I might have been the only journalist in the world willing to state what was already so obvious to me. Certainly, no journalist at a mainstream media news organization published an article that presented the relevant health metrics as they involve healthy athletes aged 14 to 35. No member of all these Medical Advisory Panels did interviews or released statements making the same points. But they must have known what I knew.
By now – 16 months later (millions of athletes having played sports seasons with no issues) – the data are even more compelling and undeniable: COVID poses no real health risk to healthy young athletes. And yet we still have all of these expensive and unnecessary COVID protocols, vaccine mandates and bullying of athletes.
It is nice to learn that at least a few of these athletes are also capable of analyzing data and thinking for themselves. They are smarter than the experts too.
The Mail online is too dependent on Google Ads to speak against the narrative. Google Ads does not allow dissent.
“Why can’t reporters QUANTIFY the health risks from COVID for healthy athletes?”
It’s hard to quantify the health risks to covid for anyone, in a meaningful way, because of the way the data has been collected. My take on it would be to look at all-cause mortality in recent years, pre covid, an average over a fairly long period preferably, broken down by age, and compare it to all-cause mortality this year and last, and look at the chances of someone my age dying in the next year pre-covid and now, and compare the two.
Last time I did this I think I got 1 in 14,000 per-covid and 1 in 12,000 post covid, and that was taking a very recent average which as we know is exceptionally low.
Of course the waters are muddied by the adverse health effects of lockdowns, NHS shutting down, vaccines, etc.
I think – know – that you CAN quantify the health risks to athletes. You simply get the number of athletes who play organized sports and the number who have died or been hospitalized from or with COVID. Divide the tiny number (which I believe is zero for the “death” statistic) into the really big number (N = number of global athletes) and there’s your mortality risk for athletes.
“Ceefax”, probably because it’s so rare and fits their narrative, have a story on a 15 year old girl who died “of Covid” on the day of her cancelled “vaccine” appointment.(she had to self isolate instead” The report quotes her mother describing her as a “talented kickboxer”. I’ve no idea how much of a healthy athlete she really was or indeed if the story is true. There was a story in Spring last year about a 5 year old dying “of Covid”, but I’m not sure that actually happened.
Great post BillRiceJr.
What a disgusting article. 3 paragraphs in and there’s nothing but insults.
The other England players should come out as a group and defend the 5 players’ right to chose.
Anything else and they are pathetic scum bags.
I love how they’re trying to put some of the blame on the WAG’s !
Similar thing is happening with the NBA in the U.S. Same media pressure tactics too. I’m not sure our footballers can be as eloquent as the NBA players I’ve seen defending their positions but regardless it’s good to hear.
I’m completely unplugged from the bread and circuses that is English football now. I used to love it but I now value my personal freedom and privacy above watching kneeling millionaires kick a ball around on some grass for 90 minutes. If this nightmare ever ends I may go back but I strongly suspect restriction of access to football stadia will be one of their main tools to try and boost uptake. It may dwindle the numbers of refuseniks down a little more but I think those still unvaccinated are in for the long haul if required, I know I certainly am.
Absolutely NOT worth reading in full. We know the propaganda spin the Mail will put on it, so just the headline is sufficient for us – encouraging – reading the rest will just make the blood boil.
When challenged in debates at Reader Comment Sections, some posters will begrudgingly acknowledge that athletes themselves face no real health risks from COVID.
However, they then inevitably go to the “six degrees of separation” argument. These athletes must be vaccinated or wear masks and take all these mandatory tests not to protect themselves or their teammates, but to protect people in the community – especially those who do have higher risks.
This is a ridiculous argument as well. For starters, there are only a handful of professional athletes in only a handful of very large cities. Of this number, most athletes are already vaccinated (90 percent+ of NBA and NFL athletes). So you might have, at most, four or five people in these locker rooms who are an alleged “health threat” to the community.
But even among these “idiot” and “selfish” outliers, how often do these people actually have “close contacts” with members of the community?
Professional athletes basically go from their house to the stadium or practice facility and then back home. Seriously, how many citizens of, say, Buffalo, New York, are going to find themselves in a situation where they could be infected by one of the two players on this team who are not vaccinated? What the public is really terrified of is the possibility some grandmother in the check-out line at the grocery store could be standing six feet in front of an unvaccinated NFL player for five minutes.
And to make this scenario even sillier, we have to acknowledge that the 70-year-old grocery store customer is almost certainly vaccinated herself, so she’s protected.
What never gets mentioned in these “athletes must get jabbed” stories is the fact that 99 percent of the athletes in these towns are NOT jabbed. These athletes are, in fact, high school or club athletes aged 14 to 18 – male and female. This group has always been circulating in the community far more than the busy pro athletes. These younger athletes were not vaccinated last year and they are still (largely) not vaccinated this year. But since they aren’t pro athletes, they don’t matter or count.
So why all the ire directed at the two or three non-vaccinated athletes in these big cities when there are 200,000 non-vaccinated athletes doing the exact same thing – times 200,000?
Apparently pro athletes are “super spreaders” in communities but the high school and junior college athletes, for some reason, cannot spread the virus. It’s kind of bizarre that the public is terrified of two unvaccinated people in cities of millions of people, but they can tolerate the risk posed by their grandson or granddaughter who is also playing some sport every day.
By the way and for what it’s worth, I was banned from making comments in The Athletic’s Comment Section for making the same points I’ve made here today. Basically, in a series of posts I defended American athletes who have refused to get vaccinated.
I know this was not a popular thing to do as readers could express their opinions with “likes” or “up votes.” The posts that called these athletes “idiots” and “selfish” invariably get hundreds of “likes.” My contrarian posts got zero or maybe, one.
Eventually, I must have gone too far in making my arguments and I was banned. I’ve emailed this sports website five times asking what posting policy I violated and never received a response.
Anyway, these readers are now “protected” from the “threat” of reading dissenting commentary.
Like no one defended these athletes’ right to make their own health decision, nobody defended my right to express my own opinions or provide data that challenged the authorized narrative. This is our New Normal.
They know their arguments are weak. That’s why they censor.
Yep. I tried to get around the “gatekeepers of the news” by using their own Reader Comment section. As is true at this site, they must know that most readers also read the Comments Section. This is the one place to “sneak in” counterfactuals or rebuttal points.
… Or it was. In my banning case study, I don’t know if I was banned by an anonymous moderator or by some algorithm that “flagged” my posts because so many other readers had flagged my posts as “divisive” or whatever. So I was either silenced by the “snitchers” or by the editorial decision of the censors. Same result: Readers at this site are now protected from commentary that challenges aspects of the site’s stories.
What genuinely bothers me is that this doesn’t bother anyone. The vast majority of readers at this sports site clearly want people like me banned and censored. And the officials and corporate leaders of this site agree with this policy. It’s beyond chilling to me.
I keep posting (where I still can) that it’s not COVID that frightens me, it’s the Big Brother response to COVID … And this response is cheered on by the proverbial crowd.
This is how “racists” and “homophobes” etc have been routinely treated for many years now.
And it’s getting worse. They are becoming even more brazen. As most here know, many sites have discontinued Comments Sections or if they offer them, they are heavily moderated/censored. This is such an obvious tactic to prevent contrarian views from being published.
I applaud the Daily Skeptic for offering such a rare site and forum for free speech. Use it while you still can.
The answer is that it’s all to do with optics. They need to knock the knees out of the visible resistance. Especially those that have more leverage (money) to threaten to walk.
The article is ‘worth reading in full’ but their is no condemnation of it by the Daily Sceptic, does that mean it thinks it is a good article? I personally wouldn’t recommend spiteful propaganda unless I was trying to demoralise people.
Can you imagine the Guardian or Mail recommending any material critical of the narrative? not a chance.
I think it’s a quid pro quo – they’re able to quote a chunk of copyright copy in return for the link.
The stereotype of thick footballers takes a knock.
I wish more would speak out and cite all the reasonable and valid reasons they have chosen not to get vaccinated. (Is it possible the reporters writing the stories don’t know that such valid reasons actually exist? If so, educate them).
Too many athletes are stating that these reasons are personal or they want to keep them private. Why? Truth is always the best defense in a trial.
Also, the authorities who are coercing these athletes into getting jabbed often state that they have gone out of their way to present all of the relevant scientific and medical information to their athletes. No they have not. They have not presented one piece of information that gives the reasons one would choose to not get jabbed. No “experts” who are quoted routinely at the Daily Skeptic have been invited to address these team members.
Athletes should also point out this selective use of “experts” and ask their employers why they aren’t getting ALL the information – pro and con – on vaccination?
I’m being coerced, not persuaded.
It’s a risk to my health.
My chances of surviving a case are over 99%
Boris Johnson has had Covid-19, yet he has also been ‘vaccinated’. Why?
Government nudge units want me to have it. Why?
This is a pseudopandemic.
The coercion is brazen and immoral. Athletes who do not get vaccinated are treated like second-class citizens. They are given multiple carrots for complying and beaten with many “sticks” for not complying. They literally are being told to sit in the rear of the bus.
A week ago a non-vaccinated NFL player raised the white flag and got vaccinated. He did this after the league fined him $14,000 for the crime of walking across the locker room before practice without his mask on.
He HAD to wear a mask because he was not vaccinated. His vaccinated teammates did not. I still wonder who ratted him out. Were there mask cameras in the locker room to catch him?
The NFL just stole $14,000 from this guy for this “crime.” BTW, this is a football player who 15 minutes later was doing drills and tackling teammates without a mask during a two-hour practice.
I guarantee you more vaccinated teammates and trainers have tested positive than unvaccinated players. And if all of his teammates were protected what difference did it really make if he had not received his vaccine?
I wish I had saved the letter this player received from this mask czar. These people love this BS – they love creating these protocols and then fining and punishing violators who do not comply.
Here’s another piece I wrote, showing that the world is full of bureaucrats who love creating protocols and punishing those who do not comply with said protocols/mandates.
It’s not just sports leagues. There’s too many of these people, and too many organizations that have the power to punish those who do not comply.

Dear ‘downticker’,
Did you have fun, scrolling down and downticking all the posts? Did it take you long? Please feel free to downtick this post.
Downticker strikes again, like the Delta variant…
Downticker’s got a friend!
This hit piece is nothing but the demonisation of those who choose – for whatever reason – to decline a medical procedure, as is their absolute right. What a sorry state of affairs where we have national newspapers (the Sun takes a similar line, I bet others do too) stirring up hatred against a minority group. We have been down this dangerous road before in the 20th century and should know where this leads.
Conspiracy theories about vitamins?
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.09.22.21263977v1
Jesus christ that mail article is a disgrace.
Absolutely. I pop vitamin D 3 every day for general health but have been delighted to know from very early on in the pseudopandemic that it is prophylactic against Covid 19, however it doesn’t make any money for big pharma or encourage take up of the clot shot so MSM have to deride it.
Why are the unvaccinated being hunted down and criminalised?
This has to stop right now.
I wish the useless knee taking cunts would take it and die
Hello to any England football players looking in. Hold fast. As regards ‘Jaguarpig’s comments, we’re all used to his/her sage ‘observations’…
Good for them.
“Three senior team members are reportedly among the rebels who believe they are too healthy to suffer Covid or have been pressured by their wives.
One is said to have brazenly declared he was too “young and fit” to be negatively affected by the virus,”
It presumably never occurred to the drone who wrote this piece that the players’ viewpoit is born out by the statiscal evidence.
“While another reportedly believes the anti-vaxxer ‘conspiracy theories’ about the jab.’
How does the so called journalist know what information the player has read? And if the “journalist” doesn’t know then he is no position to judge the veracity of that information and should not presenting his prejudiced supposition as some kind of fact.
Coercion will eventually bring about devestating penalties for those of our government and establishment applying in them, mark my words!
Delete the word ‘in’ above.
The rest of the players are understood to have been ‘pressured’ not to get the jab by their wives or girlfriends who are against the vaccine.
WAGS with brains.
Better than being coerced by their managers and the FA. At least thei WAGS, you would hope, have their best interests at heart and don’t see them as an asset.
Good for these sensible refusenik footballers. Never lose sight of the fact that all Covid policies and data are fraudulent because such policies and data are based on two demonstrably and blatantly false assumptions (1) asymptomatic transmission is significant (2) PCR test is diagnostically accurate. Lord Denning neatly summed up in 1956 with his highly pertinent judgement that fraud vitiates everything it touches. Covid data and policies constitute an unprecedented worldwide crime scene.
Well done, our young soccer stars for following the science (which shows they are more at risk from the experimental injections than from COVID) and, more importantly, for standing up for one of the basic human rights – bodily sovereignty – their forbears fought a world war to protect and preserve.
The Mail’s sickeningly-biased coverage of the “refuseniks” illustrates the extent to which the mainstream media’s reliance on Government and Big Pharma advertising has turned our former public watchdogs into lickspittle lapdogs.
I learned long ago to distrust politicians and suspected a scamdemic as soon as the present ‘Covid-19’ propaganda started pouring out of Westminster and Whitehall. So I was glad to hear what John O’Looney had to tell us in this video, please circulate it as widely as you can, before it is taken down – https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LIWul_nbMu8
Too bad more of these athletes don’t have the balls to decline these experimental biologicals causing serious adverse events in their age group. Cdc VAERS.
Jesus Christ, are the sheep expected to take advice from Waddle.
