The U.K. COVID-19 Inquiry has been divided into six modules. It is in module one on ‘Resilience and Preparedness’ and in module two on ‘Core U.K. Decision-making and Political Governance’ that the inquiry will principally address the policy process that yielded lockdown. Module one public hearings were held in the summer. Module two hearings about the U.K. Government, as opposed to the devolved governments, began in October and have just ended. The pause in the hearings provides a useful opportunity to take stock of what has been done so far.
The COVID-19 Inquiry is the latest demonstration that U.K. public inquiries have long since been reduced to an unfunny joke at the expense of U.K. citizens, and one would have to be naïve in the extreme to expect to find much or anything of value in the conclusions they publish. One did, however, think that useful information might be found in the evidence inquiries gathered, but over the major issues which it should address the COVID-19 Inquiry will not even attain this more modest objective. For it seems likely that the inquiry will not yield any evidence allowing U.K. citizens to decide whether the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 constituted an emergency sufficient to justify lockdown.
It seems even less likely that the evidence one hoped eventually to obtain about the part scientific advice played in the decision to adopt lockdown will emerge from the inquiry. Scientific advice should, of course, not seek to make policy but confine itself to being advice offered to policymakers who weigh it alongside the economic, legal and social considerations that should be taken into account. But this is precisely what did not happen with lockdown, and denials of any involvement at all in the formulation of policy by scientific advisors who held the most important positions have been left unquestioned, even though they have turned on a flat untruth of the greatest consequence.
Sir Chris Whitty, the U.K.’s Chief Medical Officer, was, of course, one of the principal public faces of the presentation of lockdown, but more importantly for our purposes was a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Emergencies (SAGE), the principal body advising Government over the SARS-2 outbreak. In his evidence given on June 22nd 2023, he told the inquiry that scientific advice could not actually be responsible for lockdown: “it would be very surprising” for “a scientific committee [to] venture … into that kind of extraordinarily major social intervention… without this being requested by a senior politician”. This claim was repeated in the evidence Professor Neil Ferguson gave to the Inquiry on October 17th 2023. Professor Ferguson of Imperial College London, a figure of remarkable influence in national and international research on infectious disease epidemiology, was also a member of SAGE and other advisory bodies, and the most important single person giving scientific advice over the outbreak. In his evidence he said:
I believe that scientists have a key role to play in advising policymakers on the potential impacts of different policy choices in a crisis, but that they should not use the public platform offered to them by that role to campaign or advocate for specific policies… for something as consequential as a pandemic. Where everybody is affected by the decisions, it is for… policymakers to make those decisions, not for scientists.
It is of the very first importance to note that this claim by Sir Chris and by Professor Ferguson completely contradicts what has long been known of the crucial event in the adoption of lockdown, an event in which Sir Chris played an important part, and to which Professor Ferguson was absolutely central.
U.K. planning to deal with epidemic respiratory infectious disease had long been based on ‘mitigation’ of disease. In a previous outbreak of, say, influenza or the common cold, the spontaneous steps which people would take to avoid infection themselves, to avoid infecting others and to cope with illness were to be supported by steps taken by Government to, for example, support self-isolation at home, or to provide extra care for those most vulnerable, generally the infirm elderly.
The extensive and long considered planning to this effect which was in place at the start was abandoned with extraordinary rapidity, with the major decisions perhaps being taken within a week, when on March 16th 2020 SAGE was presented with a report on ‘The Impact of Non-pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) to Reduce COVID-19 Mortality and Healthcare Demand’ which it had commissioned from a specially convened Imperial College COVID-19 Response Team. Reflecting his institutional dominance of the field, this team was led by Professor Neil Ferguson. Non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) does not mean lockdown; indeed this is what it had not previously meant. It means the ‘social’ steps that can be taken to limit infection and the impact of disease.
But SARS-CoV-2 was a new virus of which in March 2020, on the facts known so far, epidemiology had been aware for no more than six months. Almost nothing was known about it, and, of course, no vaccines had been developed to resist it. In these circumstances, the Imperial College Team predicted that “an uncontrolled” or “an unmitigated epidemic [would cause] 510,000 deaths in [Great Britain]”. The prediction for the United States was 2.2 million. Even if “optimal” mitigation measures were adopted, it was predicted that “there would still be in the order of 250,000 deaths in GB”. These numbers, it was claimed, could be reduced to the tens of thousands by NPIs which pursued, not mitigation, but the “suppression” of COVID-19 infection by massive restrictions on human contact. The detail of lockdown was not discussed in the report, but all the measures soon to be adopted, such as school, university and workplace closures, were considered, and overall, having set out the 510,000 and 250,000 figures, the report concluded “that epidemic suppression is the only viable strategy at the current time [which] the U.K. will need to [adopt] imminently”.
We have emphasised ‘only’ in this quotation to draw attention to the way this conclusion sought to compel the adoption of lockdown. ‘Epidemic suppression’ necessarily required lockdown. The use of ‘only’ closes off all alternatives. Such language requires reaching a judgement about the economic, legal and social consequences of lockdown that Sir Chris and Professor Ferguson are indeed incompetent to make, should never make, and now deny ever having made. But to deny that they made such a judgement is a flat untruth. In full the Imperial College Team report said:
We therefore conclude that epidemic suppression is the only viable strategy at the current time. The social and economic effects of the measures which are needed to achieve this policy goal will be profound. Many countries have adopted such measures already, but even those countries at an earlier stage of their epidemic (such as the U.K.) will need to do so imminently.
Coming within a report that prided itself on being the latest result of Imperial College “epidemiological modelling which [already had] informed policymaking in the U.K. and other countries in recent weeks”, the report completely contradicts Sir Chris’s and Professor Ferguson’s claim about the advice they offered. Professor Ferguson and his colleagues in the Imperial College Team advocated and intended to advocate lockdown. To maintain otherwise is demonstrably false. It is vitally important not to allow these false claims to go unchallenged.
It is, incredible to say, even more concerning that the Imperial College Team’s policy modelling was wildly inaccurate and conceptually nonsensical. Fear of the possibility of 510,000 deaths figure would appear to have been the catalyst for the panicked change from a mitigation to a suppression policy. But by “an uncontrolled” or “an unmitigated” epidemic, the report purported to predict what would happen “in the (unlikely) absence of any control measures or spontaneous changes in individual behaviour”. But there was, of course, never any possibility that a serious outbreak of respiratory infectious disease would not be met with spontaneous responses and Government measures in support of these. To describe this as ‘unlikely’ is extremely misleading; it is a zero-possibility event, which, nevertheless, the Imperial College Team somehow modelled. If during a 35°C heatwave everybody in the U.K. goes outside in bathing costumes, and if there is a sudden fall in temperature to minus-5°C, then we can confidently predict universal health problems if people continue wearing their bathing costumes. But what have we learned of the empirical world from Imperial College-style modelling when obviously we already know that everyone would put on warm clothing instead?
As with the rest of the world, the Imperial College Team had extremely imperfect information when it addressed an outbreak of infectious respiratory disease caused by a virus only very recently known, the medical effects of which were only very inadequately reported. But instead of taking a lack of knowledge to be the ground for cautious, hesitant analysis and policy prescription, the Imperial College Team advocated an intervention which Sir Chris Whitty described as “extraordinarily major” as “the only viable strategy”. The advocacy was based on statistics which were conceptually nonsensical or which, clearly erected on a wholly inadequate evidence base, have proven to be wildly inaccurate. The presentation of these statistics was intended to have a dramatic impact on policy, and the Imperial College Team succeeded in this respect beyond its dreams.
Imperial College researchers led by Professor Ferguson had advocated the suppression policy to deal with outbreaks of infectious respiratory disease long before the new SARS virus and the response to it by communist China gave it an opportunity to promote lockdown. The COVID-19 Response Team report is an extremely tendentious attempt to compel adoption of that policy, which succeeded in turning the world upside down. Sir Chris Whitty’s and Professor Neil Ferguson’s claims to the contrary are demonstrably untrue. The COVID-19 Inquiry should expose this falsity for the whole world to see and gather the evidence which would allow U.K. citizens to understand how flawed scientific advice came to pay such a massive and utterly malign role not just in the U.K., but around the world.

What moronic parent would let this happen
I have an unpleasant suspicion that what we’re looking at is virtue-signalling by parents more interested in looking good (as they see it), than looking after their children.
At some point, large numbers of people lost interest in being good, and decided instead to create an impression of goodness by doing whatever current advertising suggested. This appears to have permeated all aspects of life.
Does having a “transgender” child make you look “progressive”? Look for “the signs” in your child and proclaim proudly that you are helping your child transition.
Does taking your child to be injected by one of those magical new “vaccines” show that you’re responsible? Line up and ignore all those weird people who say they’re dangerous.
Free fall decline, dissolution and moral chaos ( see Rome 370-470)
For many now Children are just the equivalent of those little dogs you see put in outfits, and used as props for facebook and instagram etc, they are nothing more than accesories to the vanity of the parent
The moronic parents I saw on my train this morning, with their masked children.
It’s physically painful looking at them, isn’t it. The stress of stopping myself from saying something – arguing with them, shouting at them, swearing at them – grows by the day. Useful idiots.
Clearly they all had covid and where doing everyone else a favour by minimising it’s spread as they talked together.
at least they aren’t hiding in their cave.
If Johnson and the Gates Who get their way, parents will soon have no say.
A surprising number if the BBC says they should.
Its pure evil and it is rife in OUR government. We have to do something about this. Our country is being run by the most despicable and criminal people. All institutions are contaminated but as Brendon O Connell says, there are also good people in the system. Cant Toby or someone with some clout start lobbying heads or higher ups in the media to start blowing the whistle properly and call his peers to account, ask them to admit they were wrong, but now this is carrying on like this, the people in the media can make up for some of their sins against themselves and their own families by disowning and calling out this evil in a big way.
Gene therapy clinical trials for six year olds for no valid reason is so ugly, even according to their own metrics there is zero rationale for injecting these kids.
Its also time for the Police and Military to do their job. They either serve a purpose which benefits the people of this country, or they are musclemen for a bunch of child raping occultist scumf&&ks. They need to decide which role they wish to play on this Earth, and they need to think about their own kids being injected with this crap. This is happening on their watch, its their job to intervene now, the British government has gone full NAZI on the children and people of this country, and those who are paid by the people need to do something about it.
It’s way past any of that. This is demonic, pure and simple. The gates of hell have opened, and the devils are flooding into this dimension. We have gone beyond the point of no return.
Toby point blank refused to allow ‘Lockdown Sceptics’, as was, to oppose the government’s vaxx roll narrative out last year – especially as it began encroaching on the under 18s. In the light of growing opposition to this editorial fence sitting by some (but by no means the majority of) commenters BTL he published an editorial stating that LS would not oppose the vaxx roll out to under 18s. The slightly edited wording of this article became the renamed Daily Sceptic tag line:
In the end, Toby’s loyalty to his chum Boris in particular and the Tory Party in general (especially given his position at The Spectator) seemingly prevailed over any sense of journalistic ethics. The damning facts on the vaxx roll out were out there, but LS chose to hide behind occasional and ambiguous stat & graph fests (dressed up as vaxx updates) and adherence to the MSM pro-government propaganda that actively demonised and discriminated against all those questioning vaxx safety.
Much the same as he is now doing with Ukraine, Toby is a sceptic only until it becomes inconvenient for his career and/or his social network.
He’s a member of some initiative sueing the government because of the vaccine-rollout to children.
nothing works anyt longer under an Emergency Rule dictatorship. Lord Sumption warned of the dangers of riding down and suspending the Rule of Law and Parliament and replacing them with diktats from the Health Tyranny.
Well here we are!
“the British government has gone full NAZI on the children and people of this country”
Yep, and they’re helping their fellow Nazis in Ukraine as well
Good people ij the system? Rare as Hens’ teeth!
Seconded.
Yes may I beat this old drum once more, and ask the site mods to PLUESE stop showing needles, especially child abuse ones.
An evil done in the name of good is the most pernicious and carried out by the most wicked.
These people must be arrested.
Private criminal prosecutions are still possible in the UK. It could be done, with or without the police’s assistance.
Who would bring the prosecution? The child? Obviously not. The parent? Obviously not.
Buckle up for a repeat of PPI Compensation, only a million times bigger.
I had in mind some kind of misfeasance in public office charge for the leaders of the pack. Any citizen could proceed with such a prosecution.
What sometimes happens is that the Director of Public Prosecutions takes over a private prosecution in order to stop it. You can read about it here
https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/private-prosecutions
Section 6(2) of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985:
They would have to show it was vexatious, I believe.
This ha already been presented with mountains of evidence by lawyers and Mark Sexton – an ex-Police Officer .
Met Police Hammersmith closed down the investigation and claims as ‘unfounded’ and warned off those involved.
Yes … but you need an independent Judiciary for this to succeed.
Forget it.
We are living in Clown World deliberately created by TRPTB.
The people likely to be arrested at the moment are those who would make any physical attempt to protect children by preventing the injections from taking place. Anyone doing this would not only be treated as a criminal, but as someone “mentally disturbed”.
We are through the looking glass – back in Occupied Europe ,1941.
And yet they won’t be.
Yep. Especially as they’re obviously just reading out boilerplate statements provided by somebody else (wording is always identical so far).
Away you go then! Take some ‘Common Law Constables’ from the Guardians300 with you, they know their stuff.
Start at Neil Ferguson’s house?
The truth is, no-one is going to ‘get arrested’. It’s like saying Tony Blair will be going to prison… howling at The Moon.
Six downticks from those who find reality a hard concept. In their fantasy land Tony Blair will be going to meet the Devil….
By whom?
“Nothing to see here. move on” is the onlly answer you will get.
Sick, sick, sick. None of the not a vaccines have actually passed full testing. Where is the Emergency in children? I think we know what the Emergency will actually be when they grow up with heart defects. Any “parent” who subjects themselves to these things is a complete moron but any parent who subjects their child to them? How do you describe them?
If you stick to the mainstream media then why should you be aware of any problem? It’s a vaccine for a dangerous disease, it’s safe and effective, what’s not to like?
It is neither safe nor effective.
They have actually admitted as much but Gates has said multiple “vaccines” will help reduce world population by 15% ..so there we are!
Even if you were reading Lockdown Sceptics this time last year you would find an editorial team in denial of the damage already being done by experimental gene therapy. Nevertheless despite inaction ATL, many excellent commenters BTL provided much needed links to key websites that were reporting FACTS about the even then damning VAERs and MHRA figures. Add to this unwavering websites such as UK Column (which commendably made the MHRA weekly adverse reaction statistics both understandable and able to be cross referenced) that millions of people began to see through the government/MSM propaganda.
At this point its arguably too late for most, the key decisions were made and the lifelong damage was done. And now the WHO and respective national governments’ sights are set on mopping up the under 11s right down to Biden’s promise to jab all newborns while people are distracted.
The Sheep are really the ones responsible for where we are. .
How to describe them? They are utterly lazy swine who are too busy picking their mobile phones to form an opinion for themselves about what’s been happening since 2020 and in particular to notice what the rulers have done and will do to their children.
But that still doesn’t excuse their complicit ‘rulers’, their compliant family and friends, their political representatives, their pay per jab nurses and doctors, their children’s teachers (and these teacher’s trades unions), their bosses at work threatening jobs, their taxpayer funded impartial media for providing a disingenuous daily diarrhoea of WEF/WHO propaganda etc, etc.
How do you describe them?
If there were only a few of them, it would be relatively easy. But millions of parents are doing this. There’s no mass movement against it, as much as it horrifies the people who visit and post here.
This eagerness to inject children with an experimental concoction, apparently in order to prevent them from getting a disease which is extremely unlikely to cause them any serious illness, is the surest sign (to me) that something is very wrong in our societies.
Perhaps that’s what the “Covid” crisis has done in all sorts of ways. It’s exposed terrible weaknesses in our entire social structure: our governments, our media, our health and education systems, our sense of personal moral responsibility and of community.
It’s a hard thing to be a grandparent who can see what’s going on, yet are powerless to stop their own children doing this to the little ones. To have to stand by and see this appalling abuse of their grandchildren is beyond painful.
Ripe for infanticide?
How? By the word ”unbalanced”, literally. It strikes me that anyone in thrall to the ”covid” narrative is triggered by any criticism of jabs, and get angry at the suggestion that they just might not be a good thing. Just as if they’ve been subliminally brainwashed.
As GG below says, those who only listen to what the BBC tells them won’t look into it any further.
Public health institutions have lost all credibility. I won’t ever trust them again. The damage will last decades and perhaps never be repaired.
No restoration is possible without some kind of mea culpa.
Settle in and make yourself comfortable. Looks like we have a few years to wait.
Nobody knows what mea culpa means without having to look it up on Google.
What are you going to do if you fall ill, or fall over and break your hip?
Ask the NHS to help, ask a private quack/fraud to help, ask no-one and have a go at fixing it yourself with some pine needle tea and zinc supplements?
Health Care has it seems been withdrawn from a significant percentage of the population. – the Social and Health ‘contract’ and the ‘duty of care’ promise of Government and our Institutions has been broken by the willing servants of the Globalist Elites as they begin to assert quasi feudal powers over the peasantry.
Beware their “Bill of Rights” which in this contrary Wonderland of immorality means we will have none that cannot be just over-ridden at their whim!
Over-riding the Nuremberg Code and the sacred principle of Bodily Autonomy is one of the key targets of the Gates ‘owned’ WHO with its new ‘treaty’! It is an Open Secret that Gates wants to force “vaccinate” the world!
The Joint Committee on Human Rights has just criticised the draft Bill (for its erosion of our human rights) and the government now has two months to respond. A glimmer of hope in dystopia maybe?
Perhaps it’s just another ploy. Hopeful people, like fearful ones, are easier to control. It’s the cynical ones who cause the problems.
Natural Selection at work, people.
If the parents allow this, what more is there to say? A parent who delegates their due diligence and duty of care for their children to the authorities deserves everything their child gets.
A sad, sad day for those children.
I doubt there are any on the forum who have not taken prescribed medicine without question. Now I’m wondering, what was really in those antibiotic pills I swallowed?
I’m not sure we can be too harsh on the parents.
A parent without scepticism for the sake of their child is missing a few brain cells.
This isn’t stuff that’s been around for decades. It hasn’t been tested, anyone should see this. Even a modicum of doubt should be enough to think, “I’ll pass on this one, for now, for my child, thanks.”
To be fair I think many, many parents will think exactly this; nowhere near enough, but if you were the kind of person that paid no attention whatsoever to how the world works you could easily come to the conclusion that these things were safe. Around me, the vaccine injuries continue to mount. As well as a life threatening blood clot in an otherwise young and healthy female family member, another acquaintance blacked out and fell down some steps last weekend. It’s starting to look to me anecdotally like most people have had a serious adverse reaction.
if you were the kind of person that paid no attention whatsoever to how the world works you could easily come to the conclusion that these things were safe.
I think that’s the problem in a nutshell: people who are not paying attention to the way the world works. For whatever reasons, they don’t think about that at all.
When I point out to people that the manufacturers insisted on full indemnity for any injuries resulting from their product (a deal-breaker, you would think), they look at me as if to say, “So what?”
Perhaps they can’t admit they don’t understand “full indemnity’?
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry – gave an uptick instead.
Yes – AND it’s actually something physical being done to their child, something that they KNOW is new and untried. They wouldn’t let their kiddies take sweeties from a stranger, even in their presence – why on earth would they allow THIS?
I was personally convinced that I’d be lining up along with others when the vaxxes arrived, since at that time I still believed that the health authorities were more or less interested in our health.
Then, I learned that, while the shots were touted as ‘safe and effective’, the vax makers all insisted on full immunity against damages, and it all went downhill from there. The more I learned, the more I appreciated that early scepticism.
At this juncture, I’d never, while still ambulatory, let any of these medical monsters anywhere near me if brandishing a needle.
They can stick even their flu jabs where the UV rays don’t reach.
I was personally convinced that I’d be lining up along with others when the vaxxes arrived, since at that time I still believed that the health authorities were more or less interested in our health.
So was I, John. I kept thinking “hurry up and get a vaccine sorted so that we can quickly resume normality.” It quickly became apparent that returning to normal was, and is not, the plan. It’s painful but necessary to know that our best interests are not at heart.
I agree. At the beginning of the ”roll out” I thought I’d wait and see (hoping a more conventional type of jab would come along). I thought I’d be a jabbee eventually. As time went by it was obvious this was NOT going to happen – neither my taking it nor a better option. And the confirmation that SARS CoV2 really WAS of no danger to most of us.
When Dr Barody in Australia spoke of his excellent research into Ivermectin (in August of 2020, I think) and how his government showed no interest, I remember feeling a mixture of optimism and doubt. After that, the darkness grew.
I wonder how many people come back to yesterday’s articles to sail all the way through to see if there have been any additions.
I was personally convinced, before they even started pretending to invent them, that I would at some point be in hiding with my family to avoid them. Things haven’t quite got to that point, thankfully! Yet!
You take prescribed medicine to address an illness of mild or greater severity.
WTF are children taking this vaccine? What are they supposed to be protecting against? Even if the vaccine was safe and effective (which is doubtful, but that’s another story), there is no reason to give it to children.
Astonishingly we now live in a country where these most basic of questions are regarded as “inappropriate” by our entire Ruling Elite all our Institutions and our Media.
What is really shocking is the total disregard for the health and welfare of the children to be inflicted with an untried product that provides no benefit or protection for them from anything whatsoever!
This cynical disregard for the lives and health of children is outside our experience.of the last 130 years.It seems all our most basic moral values have simply been trashed.
So, why? What is this product really for?
Antibootics contain nanobooties. A team of scientists in some far flung place discovered.
The beastly parents may deserve an evil outcome. Not the children. Unless you believe in a God who literally does visit the sins of the fathers upon the children.
I share this sentiment, except for one bit: The beats are those who market useless medications with possibly lethal side effects, ie, the MHRA and the shady entities behind it.
As the MAJORITY in this age group would be VERY UNLIKELY to fall ill from ‘covert’, why, I understand they want to program the children for their Covert Passports from a young age, but having to be jabbed with some unnecessary substance is sinister
Yes, well spotted Will Jones, they are making a claim of net benefit – in itself dubious – because the products are neither effective or safe. This was another goalpost moved by the WHO with their malaria vaccine early in 2020.
https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m734/rr-1
I don’t personally believe that the benefits were always so overwhelming with vaccine products in the past but they are disgustingly lowering the threshold. So, if a product kills 9 for every 10 it saves it would – on this basis – be a success.
In that case you should find some other way of intervening if there is any necessity at all: we are light years away from first do no harm.
if it saves 40, 80 year olds yet kills 1 10 year old it’s a massive QALY failure.
We should remember that for the MNHRA “safe and effective” means big pharma is “safe” from liability and the jabs are “effective” at generating massive profits for them
They’ve obviously decided that the Great Reset won’t apply to them.
It’s hard to believe that any research showed the ‘benefit risk balance’ as positive, given the tiny risk from Wu-flu to 99.9% of children.
Keep those tumbrel axles greased…
This is child abuse, pure and simple.
Any parent who subjects their child to this procedure without investigating the possible adverse reactions should hang their heads in shame.
The Gates funded MHRA Approves the Gates owned Moderna Covid Vaccine
What angers me is so many in the “freedom movement” are acting as if it’s all over.
Whille the Gates funded WHO nods in approval!
It seems that Valneva has only been approved in people aged 18-50. Why … do they want to give children, the early retired and pensioners GM jabs which raise all-cause mortality?
The raised mortality comment is based on the Pfizer trial. I’m unaware whether the AZ raised or reduced total deaths.
I am on the Valneva trial and I think the approval age range represents the general age of the people on the trial. I am 68 and I was by far and away the oldest trial participant that I saw, they were very pleased to have someone as old as me on the trial but I am guessing there were not enough of us to push the approval age above 50?
If it is of any interest I have had 2 injections of Valneva with no side effects, no adverse reactions and so far, no covid. No vaccines are ‘safe’ but to date with me, Valneva is looking OK.
I don’t care how ok it is. The government wants me to take a jab which is all the reason I need not to. I won’t compromise on my principles for the sake of a holiday. I’ve had all the childhood vaccinations and so have my kids; this one, Valneva, or any of the other snake oil they’re trying to push on us, is out of the question though.
But aren’t you worried about getting your veins and arteries slashed to ribbons by the graphene tubules, and the sharp corners of the nanobots?
It might depend whether Valneva is collaborating with Pfizer, Moderna, J&J and AZ on the ‘bad batches’
Besides, I’ve had the ultra-mild cold that is ‘BA2’, so I clearly don’t need a ‘safe’ vaccine. Valneva seems a bit late to the party, even if it is less dangerous.
Placebo?
What was that?…..’raise all-cause mortality”? Ah……!
Sadly most people still buy into the narrative. Wife works at GP surgery and says that most people are still champing at the bit to have different types of this muck injected into them. You’ve got to give it to government and MSM, they’ve done an absolute number on the majority of the population. At least now though we know who our friends and family really are. A rude awakening.
I’m not quite ready to ditch friends and family because of their healthcare decisions, As long as they don’t force anything on me.
Tough one. I personally see them as enablers of the intent government has. If I didnt have kids of my own I’d be fine remaining friends. But these people are potentially ruining my children’s future with their ignorance. The more people refuseto go along, the better their chances of a less dystopia future.
“Healthcare”! If only1
I have quite an extended – and very close until recently – family. It is just myself and a brother-in-law, previously dismissed as a bit of a funniosity, who have declined the offer of the “vaccine” in all its hellish incarnations. The rest, many of whom I would have thought to be analytical, healthily sceptical people of common sense, have been totally convinced by the government, Sage, and various other bought-and-paid-for “scientists” about the deadliness of the Covid/cold virus.
It’s a lonely place to be sometimes.
Better to be lonely that in league with pure evil.

Pfizer&co: Enemies of the people.
Hitler Youth incarnate.
Catch them young.
I hope they all swing.
And in Hell.
Pure (murderous) EVIL
Sadly though, if it becomes a requirement for the kids to be vaccinated to go on next winter’s skiing holiday, people will do it.
Friends got their son jabbed for skiing holiday and he stayed night in hospital with heart palpitations.
I have a friend whose daughter got jabbed for a holiday. 1st jab, ended up in hospital, still having heart palpitations and awaiting a further consultation with a ‘specialist’.
Myocarditis in the young as a consequence of the Pfizer injections is well documented …but of course simply ignored.( as of course are the deaths it has caused).
Her father (one of us) was furious. He’d tried to dissuade her, but the promise of a holiday won out.
And he died? Or did he get to go ski-ing?
15 downticks from people who know he went ski-ing after all. They wave their walking sticks at the telly-vision and hate it whilst they are stuck at home whilst others get the jabs and get on with enjoying themselves and not dying from the Bill Gates’ Depopulation ‘Gene Therapy’.
‘The U.K. medicines regulator, the MHRA, has approved the Moderna Covid vaccine for six to 11 year olds, describing it as “safe and effective”‘
’safe and effective’ for what?
How many parents deliberately turn a blind eye to any misgivings they might have, because going abroad for two weeks in the sun with the family is more important?
I know someone over 80 who recently had a 4th jab. She was saying how swollen her arm was and how poorly she felt, WITH PRIDE! Aargh….
This reminds me of comments I was reading in the DM approximately a year ago, when the first lot of jabs were going on (back when people thought they’d be done after 2). There were lots of comments, all apparently trying to outdo each other with comments of how poorly they felt after the jab, how long they felt poorly – some even said they had ended up in hospital for several days – all of them proud of their suffering and saying it was worth feeling dreadfully ill and even ending up in hospital – because otherwise they might get the lurgi and feel dreadfully ill and end up in hospital…
It was liking reading a Monty Python skit
that’s abuse on the scale of letting known attackers like Saville having keys to children homes and hospitals and also letting catholic priests/nuns etc abuse those they should have been protecting the most.
why is the state sanctioning this muck?
why is a conservative government who stopped last xmas’s lockdown permitting this to happen?
Boris was going to go ahead with Plan B but the back benchers stopped him.
The fat war criminal also wanted to “have a conversation” on mandatory vaccinations
Because, as Sir Humphrey said in ‘Yes Minister’, that signals that the policy has already been decided.
He gets everything wrong.
What “Conservative Government?
Not a coincidence is it that MHRA rearranged is HARM?
The million dollar question, WHY?
We would all love to know the answer to that question.
Ask Mr Gates, he has all the answers!
Hello chicken. Would you like to come round for dinner?
You’re not going to eat me, are you?
Of course not! I’m a fox and a fox never lies.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
Now they want to introduce Biometric face recognition checks in Schools:

Nice to know that shoving a full-sized muzzle on to a child’s face, with yawning gaps all round the edges, will keep the adults saaaaaaafe.
What the hell are these people on? We have the highest inflation for 30 years, fuel bills are through the roof and we have arsehole politicians and the MSM trying to push us into world war 3. Meanwhile these clowns are passing regulations for vaccines ( that pregnable work as well as the last lot) that is for a virus that has been and gone.
For Experimental vaccines
A feature of the inactivated Polio vaccine is reportedly, that the viruses may reactivate themselves and then cause Polio cases in people who aren’t vaccinated. That is, incomplete Polio vaccination campaigns literally end up spreading Polio. Reportedly, 2017 was the first year when the Polio vaccination campaign caused more cases of Polio than the virus itself.
Will this also be a feature of the Valneva vaccine?
Source: Wikipedia article on Polio, last section of the Vaccine paragraph. The frequency is given as about one case in 750,000, hence, there’s no realistic chance of catching this during a COVID vaccine trial.
At our prayer group the other night I mentioned the demo that will be taking place in London on April 30. The difficulty I ventilated was ‘what are we protesting against?’. One member said ‘child stabbing’ and I think this suggestion was prescient.
That must be our one focus at the forthcoming demo.
‘Safe and effective’, has been the mantra for vaccines as long as I can remember, but has anyone ever defined what it actually means?
A general phrase which suggests completely safe and totally effective but could just mean that it doesn’t immediately kill you and does do something effectively but that could be something insignificant.
The phrase is completely meaningless if it is not defined but it is used continuously without any comeback. Handy!
It’s not supposed to mean anything, it’s a nudge. People are supposed to remember the phrase whenever the topic comes up.
Repeat a lie enough times….
This is literally mind programming. It doesn’t matter if the statement is actually true or false. It’s sufficient that the brain is taught to associated COVID vaccines with this phrase. Afterwards, when the trigger is present, Safe and effective will come up as a memory. In theory, at least. I first noticed this effect when my father presented election statements of his preferred party displayed on posters all over town as his own ideas about the mentioned topics, apparently completely unaware of the real source.
That’s similar to what my soon-to-be-ex-mother-in-law does. She reads stuff in the newspapers and then presents what she has read as her own views and ideas. As an aside, if we hadn’t already stopped speaking three years prior to this shit show, we most certainly wouldn’t be on speaking terms now. It almost makes me giggle to think about all of the disagreements we’d have had over masking and vaxxing.
We need a reverse spell, like ‘risky and unnecessary’ maybe.
Risky and irrelevant.
Clotty and Clouty.
And the bigger the lie . . .
No doubt there is a stock of these patronising phrases still in their closet. Think of all the ‘S’ words that came about at the beginning of this madness: safe, shielding, social distancing, self isolation, super spreader, surging, spike, space, etc.
We’re now in pure Satanic territory. On the eve of Good Friday, 2022, this is the rising of unparalleled evil. The children. What did Christ say, it would be better to hang a millstone around their neck and thrown into the sea. All of them will pay the price, be certain of that. The darkness is here, now. All around. They have all lost their minds. The demons are swarming. Pray, read your bible, and resist.
Over the last two years, crimes have been committed against the vast majority of humanity – on a breathtaking scale.
But what has been done to children is unspeakable. What are we if we don’t defend them? What are we if we allow people to use them as experimental creatures from which to profit?
However difficult it seems to bring those responsible to a reckoning, it has to be done.
Take a look at the Book of Job, chapter 34, verses 16-33. Let’s hope it comes to pass.
I see there’s a new kid on the block called the Zika virus which attacks pregnant women and their unborn baby.
What’s the betting these “platinum standard” fake vaccines will also provide immunity to this?
Zika has been around for ages.
It has, but it wasn’t previously weaponised until now.
BBC has been running scare stories about the chance of it becoming the ‘next big thing’ for the last week or so, and now, unsurprisingly, Sky News is scaremongering about it too.
Hang on… I thought people were saying it’s all over, the wheels of the bus were falling off, and the house of cards collapsing.
Everyone knew the 5-11 year olds were next in line to be ‘vaccinated against Covid’. And, guess what, Boris is still the Prime Minister. Well, obviously, we mustn’t get rid of him because we could get someone worse….
All we need now is another pointless on-line petition so we can do the virtue-signalling by telling everyone we’ve signed it and “done our bit”!
The Covid Show must go on! There’s oodles of money to be made still.
I went to a shopping centre here in Helsinki today…. you’d have loved it. 95% face masks. A world gone mad.
It’s cocktail time again. Have a Moderna Blood Curdler, or perhaps a Valneva Violation.
I’m not so sure Moderna’s marketing team aren’t actually trying to warn people against it – “Spikevax” ffs! It even sounds lethal.
June Raine….what can I say?
A monstrous reptile of a woman.
I really, really hope she doesn’t face a long, agonizing death…
Does she have children of her own? Will they be jabbed? Puh.
Frightening News – so the evil continues.
Absolute Chunts !!… Mengele would be proud !!
Well, here in Australia, we are ahead of the pack on vaxx mania (as we have been on so many things Covid) and our wise regulator (the TGA) had already given the tick of approval for “two primary doses” of the magic goo for kids aged 5 to 15 years (“including those who may have previously had COVID-19” – just so the now-naturally-immune don’t feel left out!).
But TGA approval for two original jabs is sooo last month! Adolescents aged 12-15 years are now on the conveyor belt for a Pfizer booster (to make sure they are well and truly Pfucked) even though “current data suggest that COVID-related serious illness is very rare in adolescents aged 12-15” (so why do it, then?).
The lucky young teens, however, have been given a stay of vaxx-execution by the expert advisory group, ATAGI, which stumbled over some remaining shred of scientific integrity and said, against the Australian government’s desire, that that is not on and the booster plan is now in limbo (except for the “severely immuno-compromised” who will get the full three-course menu of triple-jabbing with a goo which further harms what immune system they have).
ATAGI’s decision will not sit well with the sponsors of Australia’s ‘independent’ regulator which receives all its funding on a user-pays basis and there is no prize for guessing which industry is the biggest user of Australia’s pharmaceutical regulatory services. Whatever happened to conflict of interest!
It was from your own Dr Thomas Barody that I heard of Ivermectin (in August 2020), and how his research showed that its use against ‘covid’ was very effective. The government didn’t reply to his communication at the time. I wonder how they subsequently silenced him? Or is he still trying to be heard?
Jonestown on a global scale. Sick, sick, sick!
How can anyone trust anything June Raine says?
MHRA are dangerous idiots at best as are most other organisations related to government.
June Raine an utterly useless, EVIL, corrupt piece of sh*t!!
But doubtless a wealthy one.
Repeat after me, they are not vaccines, they are prophylactics with a dubious record of both efficacy and safety. A bit like a Durex with a hole in it. (Other brands of condoms are available).
Valneva is a vaccine, at least by its mode of action. Whether it lives up to the original definition of a vaccine in terms of prevention from infection and transmission or not, still remains to be seen. As does its saftey profile.
The thing is, 55 million people are not listening to you.
What I’m waiting for are vaccines developed against non-spike proteins. It would tell me that the biotech industry wanted to save lives not get paid billions for killing people.
I’m not holding my breath, you understand.
‘Spikevax’ – what a charmingly named poison. What could possibly go wrong? Totally evil.
Child abuse. Why aren’t there prosecutions?
You will have noticed that Governments are keen to “move on because the “vaccines” have been so successful”. The real reason, of course, is that want to move on before more people start to understand the available data which shows that the “vaccines” have beena ccomplete failure and have only done harm. WIth that realisation could potentially come calls for accountability – so “better” to “move on”….
There are prosecutions – Boris & Rishi got fined £50 for breaking lockdown rules. What more do you expect?
This and will remain child abuse.
Just a personal opinion but no way would I give an experimental gene therapy to my 6 yo – and that applies even more so to Moderna.
Regarding Valneva, I agree that potentially it could be a safer option but I still have several questions as follows:
Given the lack of any usage in a real clinical setting, the very limited amount of trial data submitted and the performance of the “Regulators” over the Covid episode, I think the burden of proof is on Valneva regarding safety and I still don’t think it wise to rush into taking either it or Novavax on the largely unsubstantiated promise of (even short-term) safety.
Of course, all of the above is academic only. The real question is why, for a “disease” with a survival rate of 99,7% (or 99.95% for those below age 70) ANY vaccine is required for other than those over age 70?
In terms of conventional medical ethics, the risks far exceed any beenefits, as is quite clear from the HSA data for infection, hospitalisation and death by the avrious vaccinted and unvaccinated groups (/100K). These Covid gene therapies have killed more people that all previous vaccines ever used combined.
And not even for those over 70, if they are fit and reasonably well. If this poison is somehow ”okay” for people over 70, or 80, then it will give carte blanche to those who want to be rid of the ”dead wood” as soon as possible.
The only sensible words Wittery spoke were in May of 2020, when he said that ”covid” was ”harmless to the VAST MAJORITY of people” and that included the elderly.

I think you mean attenuated
If you mean me, that’s exactly what I said – attenuated when I referred to the claimed Valneva “Live attenuated virus” vaccine. Later I also referred to something entirely different which was an earlier claim in published reports that Valneva had “accentuated” the spike content in the vaccine. Two entirely different issues..
So I’m not entirely sure what what you mean? Kindly elucidate.
June Raine said ”I am pleased to confirm….” I bet she is. Shouldn’t we hear more about conflicts of interest and other questionable things?
June Raine, everyone remember that name she is the person who has signed the death and injury warrant for possibly millions of children, for a virus that they are at no risk from.
One can only hope that she is given the appropriate sentence for a mass murderer when the trial happens
Orwellian language. “Safe and Effective” now means “Unsafe and Ineffective.”
And that’s before we get to the FACT that children do not need to be protected from Covid.
Sinister & Evil . Prison . Prison . Prison .
Poor kids getting the ‘snake venom’
Safe and effective.
I’m surprised they got away with that
June Raine needs locking up she’s a menace.
This just goes to show that those that comply have not bothered to do their own research. Is this all an intelligence test?
The minimal trials excluded those with previous infection- 85% of children have antibodies hence and parent who lets their child have a vaccine is experimenting on them. This bunch of experts need holding personally to account when the vaccination data is eventually exposed.
These scientists are criminal and would not have felt out of place in the Third Reich.
I hope they receive the severest punishment available for their child abuse.
So Valneva is approved only for 18 to 50 year olds, yet Pfizer states on it for 16 years and over, yet is allowed for children. Yet more evidence that Pfizer control the show. What an odious little oaf Javid is remember him stating Valneva broke their contract and would never get approval? It’s not a Johnson government it’s a Pfizer government. Treason.
Totally and completely unethical. I am ashamed to be a member of this profession.
