Complete Washout for Story Claiming Climate Change is “Hitting Vulnerable Indonesian Trans Sex Workers”

by Chris Morrison
10 April 2024 8:00 AM

An extraordinary story suggesting that male prostitutes in Indonesia self-identifying as ‘trans women’ are struggling to make a living due to climate change has been doing the rounds of mainstream media. The online Independent reported one sex worker complaining that “no one is coming out during the longer rainy season’, while another noted, “I no longer want to endure the heat and rain on the streets”. Needless to say, the actual data fail to give much credence to their weather woes. A lot of rain falls in tropical Indonesia but in the heaviest months of December, January and February during the period 1991-2020, the annual average of 833.6 mm was little changed from the 827.5 mm that fell 100 years ago. Over the entire period there has been an unnoticeable annual increase of 55 mm to 2,772.41 mm. Meanwhile the average annual temperature in Indonesia dropped by 0.14°C to 26°C from 2016 to 2022.

The U.K. blog Mumsnet ran a thread noting the Independent’s headline “How climate change is hitting vulnerable Indonesian trans sex workers”, and asked: “Is this the most ‘woke’ headline ever”? The first comment remarked: “I don’t think I’ve seen even Titania McGrath manage to get so much oppression into so few words.” The first comment under the Independent’s original story asked: ‘Is this a Babylon Bee article”?

In fact the game being played here is a serious one, as regular readers of the Daily Sceptic will be only too well aware. The Independent story is credited to “Reuters correspondents” and is part of a global campaign to insert the fear of  ‘climate change’ – human-caused of course – into almost every conceivable situation. The use of such emotional language is designed to drive up fear to support the Net Zero collectivisation. “Indonesia is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and trans women, who tend to face more stigma and marginalisation than trans men or other LGBTQ+ Indonesians, are also among those hardest hit by extreme weather,” reports Reuters. It is appears that as well as seeking to adapt their “precarious livelihoods” to the new “climate reality”, attempts are also being made to “raise awareness” of the challenges posed by extreme weather.

Street walking in a Muslim-majority country undoubtedly has perils, but to use such a situation to blame the climate is ridiculous. As we have noted, the climate in Indonesia has been remarkably stable over the last century – a tad more warmth, and more or less the same amount of rain.

The above World Bank graph plots a five-year smoothed average temperature in Indonesia since the start of the last century. In common with other countries in the tropics, the warming has been around half that seen in the heavily urbanised lands further north. The average temperature in 2022 at 26°C was only 0.5°C higher than the 1922 recording of 25.5°C.

Looking at the aggregated accumulation precipitation data from the World Bank above shows little change going back over 100 years, and certainly nothing that would have been obvious to the local inhabitants. According to the Independent account, sex workers in the rainforest region of West Java “are among the most affected by extreme weather”, and there is no doubt rainfall is slightly higher at the 1,000 metre elevation. But light relief is also available since the average annual temperature is over 2°C cooler than the country as a whole.

Of course Reuters has considerable form when it comes to whipping up political fear of a changing climate. Over the last two years, the Reuters Institute has been running the Oxford Climate Journalism Network that has seen over 400 journalists from across the world take lengthy sabbaticals to be indoctrinated into the campaign to push a climate ‘emergency’ narrative into every imaginable story. Currently undergoing such education is Marco Silva from the BBC Verify unit. One past course speaker has speculated on the need for “fines and imprisonment” for expressing scepticism about “well-supported” science. Delegates are groomed to “move beyond their siloed past” as climate journalists into a strategic position within newsrooms, “combining expertise with collaboration”.

Billionaire funds also back Covering Climate Now, an operation run out of the Columbia Journalism Review in New York and supported by media operations including Reuters, the Guardian, Bloomberg and Agence France-Presse. It claims to feed over 500 media outlets with written stories and narratives. It seeks a “reframing” of the way poodle journalists cover climate change. In other words, the relentless amplification for obvious political and cultural purposes of an invented climate emergency by constant story catastrophisation of the climate.

In passing, it might be observed that calling a journalist a journalist does not necessarily mean that he/him/she/her/they is a journalist.

In their wet dreams! So how do they think are they going to bring in the next “State of Emergency” when all around no one is giving a shiny sh*te about the “current” one (apart from Specsavers!) Even the normies are talking about the plandemic in the past tense now! No one is talking about the “war” and it’s slowly dawning on many that the climate agenda will/is already having serious effect in their backyard, as they watch their money vapourise every month.

I remember in March 2020 when they first aired the idea of lockdowns. Everyone said they’d never do that here and if they tried it no one would comply. Almost everyone did.

Then there were the rushed injections. Everyone said no one younger than 80 would be so foolish to get themselves injected. Almost everyone I know did, and got boosters. Some have had their children jabbed.

Same for masks.

What the pandemic response has taught us is a sizeable part of the population have no real interest in personal freedom. They are easily manipulated. They will do as they are told.

I have no idea what will happen. But the last two years is one of the most successful on record for bureaucrats and technocrats. They got much of what they wanted. They will not give up. Doesn’t mean they will succeed, but more is coming.

Johnson controls very little. It is the bureaucratic state that runs the show.

A year ago the government told the civil service to remove their staff training modules on “Unconscious Bias”, an element of their diversity training that has no basis in reality or any scientific evidence to back it up. They refused. It is still being taught to civil servants.

A minor thing but indicative of how the country is actually run. Johnson et al are actors on a stage.

You will no doubt agree diversity training is not about diversity as such, but about narrowing the range of topics open for discussion. Diversity as taught is about racial differences, which are visible. It is an attempt to push the underlying belief we are all the same despite all the evidence to the contrary.

I do indeed. We’re looking at tokenism: at the presentation of an outward appearance of the acceptance of others, at the very time that our freedom to have different and diverse points of view is under unprecedented attack.

I differ with your last sentence, however: I think it’s an attempt to make us all the same. Yes, we look different; but we all think the same way, don’t we?

And if you disagree? Let people look at what happens to scientists and doctors who don’t think as they are told, who divert from the mainstream: if they can find them. Devi Sridhar good; Sunetra Gupta bad. What a farce.

When you finally accept that these injections are NOT vaccinations (in the true sense of the word) you quickly realise why they lack any effectiveness against infection. They are experimental gene therapies, even the manufacturers accept that as fact, yet DS keeps plugging the vaccine line? Unfortunately Toby and his mates swapped sides when it became clear his chum (Doris) might fall.

Since the official definition was changed (a few years ago), the word can mean almost anything.

I subscribe to original meaning – that the virus itself, in a weakened or deactivated form, is introduced into your person. Then the magic – your body has time to learn how to recognise it, so it can mount a quick and effective response if it does meet the real, angry, wild version in the future. You should have little to no symptoms and will therefore not get ill, die or pass it on to anyone else.

Jenner figured this out ages ago – the milk maid saying she knew she wouldn’t get smallpox because she had already had cowpox (the viruses are similar enough for the immune system’s response to cowpox to work for smallpox, or so I understand it).

The mRNA crap, in a nutshell, is Pfizer et al deciding what your body should be trained to recognise, and forcing your immune system to be very selective in what it is trained to recognise. This is a problem with coronaviruses which mutate so frequently that by the time Pfizer et al have made their gunk, it’s already out of date and your body is incapable of recognising the new variant. So-called Original Antigenic Sin.

Yes, with vaccination, the immune system is trained to recognize a whole range of epitopes – the whole pathogen.

You can read here how the definitions of ‘pandemic’, ‘vaccine’ and ‘herd immunity’ have all been changed.

You are welcome to restrict the meaning of vaccine to anything you like but it is increasingly impractical.

I had a stem cell transplant a year ago. A stem cell transplant wipes out most of the immunity you gained over your lifetime so you repeat many of your childhood ????s I will call them prophylactic injections to avoid prejudging the issue . So now I am taking a course of eight different prophylactic injections to protect me from various diseases – it turns out none of them are based on live or dead pathogens. Across the paper describing the course calls it a vaccination schedule, the medical staff all refer to my vaccinations, whenever I discuss them in conversation I call them vaccinations. Do you think we should call them something else? If so, what?

I think the coronavirus ‘vaccines’ fail on any definition of the word and since they don’t provide immunity should not bear that name. It’s a well documented fact that ‘vaccines’ have to undergo far less testing and oversight than other drugs in the US and can be marketed as a public good; perfect money making vehicles then for the likes of Gates and other shysters. There may well be examples of vaccines that are a benefit to the wider good. But these will forever now be tainted by association with these fraudulent, toxic and misnamed products.

Well, they’re definably ‘injections’, so why not go with that?
But, if you’re happy to regard them as vaccines despite the word’s etymology, go for it.
The word vaccine was redefined because people were familiar with it and proved to be more accepting of something that didn’t sound strange or new, despite the mRNA stuff being both.

Something you take that means you are immune from an infectious disease – you won’t get ill from said disease nor will you pass it on. Effectiveness close to 100%. That’s what most people understand by the word and that’s the basis on which the covid “vaccine” was pushed to the general public. Possibly some of the politicians thought that’s what it was, but people like Whitty, Vallance and Van Tam knew very well it was nothing like that, because they are not stupid and the designers and makers of the “vaccines” never claimed that’s what they did.

That is, of course, different from Marcus Aurelius’s definition above. Something can make you immune without being the pathogen itself. However, it also rules out a lot of things what we commonly called vaccines – most obviously influenza injections which are far from 100% but also, for example, mumps and HPV vaccines which are both less than 90% effective. I have the same question as I had for Marcus Aurelius. What word should we use for prophylactic injections that provide some immunity against a pathogen but are not 100%?

I didn’t say other vaccines were close to 100% effective, but that is what people understand by the term vaccine. The flu “vaccines” are indeed a grey area, though they are tweaked annually because flu mutates, whereas none of the covid “vaccines” have been tweaked.

I don’t personally think it’s especially important to include in the definition anything referring to what’s in the thing, though clearly there is a debate to be had regarding the mechanism of a “vaccine” and approaches likely to give the best chance of long lasting, safe, effectiveness.

I am not convinced. If that were true then the phrase “60% effective vaccine” would be a contradiction in terms to most people – but I am pretty sure most people would have no problem with the phrase. Anyway it is all a bit arbitrary. All I am saying is that the Covid “vaccines” don’t differ hugely from other interventions that are commonly called vaccines in either effectiveness or in only presenting part of the pathogen to the immune system. They are unique in getting your own cells to produce that protein via mRNA (as opposed to DNA vaccines).

A product that gives immunity to a specific disease.

Immunity means you do not contract the disease caused by the pathogen against which you have been vaccinated if you are infected by it.

Any product that does not do this is not a vaccine.

The question is how much immunity for it to count as a vaccine? The Covid “vaccines” do provide some immunity for some time against some variants. Many things we currently call vaccines are less than 100% effective and decline over time.

I guess the key to this is whether prevent means 100% forever or just to some extent for some time. The first excludes many things we currently call vaccines, the second includes all the current “prophylactic inoculations” for Covid available in the UK.

Perhaps the term “experimental gene therapies” is not frightening enough?

In RFK Jnr’s important book, he cites (p. 129) a 1977 study which used to be “required reading in almost all American medical schools”.

It found that the enormous decline in fatalities resulting from infectious diseases (74% in the first half of the 20th century) was overwhelmingly due to improved nutrition and sanitation.

It was also predicted that “vaccinologists” would hijack this success and deploy it “to claim for themselves, and particularly for vaccines, a revered and sanctified – and scientically undeserving – prestige beyond criticism, questioning, or debate”.

That’s exactly what happened. It’s why so many were eager to embrace a “vaccine” (the equivalent of holy water) that would save us from an illness of which they were unreasonably terrified, or from unbearable lockdowns (much more dangerous to our health).

Those here who have strenuously objected to the use of the term “vaccines” are right. They understand that “vaccines” and “vaccinations” are firmly associated, for the majority, with salvation.

The term “jabs” has become too cute (“just a little jab”). Perhaps they might better be referred to as “the Covid injections”.

I believe it’s now sold over a million copies, but that would be globally.

Books will eventually be written about this book. The Real Anthony Fauci is scrupulously researched, absolutely contemporary and a devastating critique of an important public figure and his associates: by an author who has already written best-sellers and has one of the most famous names in the world.

Bookshops which would make a fortune from it don’t sell it. The media does not review it, even to damn it. This is the book they really don’t want you to read.

Arguably no longer experimental… supposedly the ‘magic bullet’ for cancer treatment, they have been around for years with underwhelming results.

Perhaps failed gene therapies is a better name, and failure as a ‘vaccine’ can be added to the list.

We have to remember the purpose of the injections and the rushed concoctions was bureaucratic in nature, not medical. They serve a bureaucratic function only.

We now know there are effective treatments for those badly affected by covid or any other viral infection. Some more effective than others. We also know this route was verboten through dictats from the BMA and the government, all reinforced with propaganda about horse paste and conspiracy theories.

The most damning factoid is that India and Bangladesh issued low cost covid kits containing ivermectin, vitamin D, zinc, vitamin K and magnesium to anyone who wanted them. At the time the Indians complained the west dismissed this as a third world exercise with more than a hint of snobbery and even racism.

We should be focusing on this. We are forced to pay for medical care via taxation and our doctors and medical establishment refused to consider safe treatments. All this is overlooked in the endless speculation about vaccinations and their efficacy. Zero discussion about the suppression of the effective medical care we actually pay for.

This is what shocked me when I caught covid last August, along with my uni student daughter. No treatment offered, no help given, despite awful symptoms.
The NHS were not interested in helping or offering any treatment unless you had severe breathing difficulties.
Back then I knew there were potential treatments, and that India had given out covid kits to prevent and treat the illness very successfully. Astonishing that the sum total of help from ‘Our NHS’ was advice to ‘drink water and take paracetamol.’
My daughter was isolated in her universtity digs with no treatement and no-one to look after her due to the isolation rules, but also denied any effective treatment. They even refused her antibiotics as she was isolating. Absolutely apalling.

Those Indian kits cost $2.50 each. They gave them to households for free, one for every person with special instructions for kids.

Holland and Barratt could have produced them for maybe £5. Yet ivermectin was specifically banned for treatment.

This is what we should be focusing on.

I’ve begun to wonder lately whether we don’t pour scorn on the wrong people in the MSM.
Suppose you were a decent, hardworking journo who went to his editor with an idea for a story. Initially, the ed seems keen and tells you to get more. You do so, but when you get back to the ed, he/she’s gone suddenly cold on the idea.
Even if you went ahead and did a write-up, would it get past the ed’s ‘spike’? Presumably, an editor who doesn’t toe the proprietor’s line isn’t in the job for long. And mortgages need to be paid.

It’s positively medieval the level of healthcare we are getting now. Our local hospital sends outpatients in all other directions to other units across the county rather than treat them. I haven’t seen a consultant for over two years. My mum was supposed to attend the hospital for a consultation. In the end it became a telephone appointment. They wanted to put her on a another drug which she didn’t feel she needed. She’d done some research and asked questions he couldn’t answer/didn’t want to answer. He told her to speak to get own GP, and he quickly ended the call!😲🙄 But tell them you want the stabs and they fall.over themselves to accommodate you!

We pay for medical care via our taxation – we cannot now access the medical care we pay for via taxation so we have to pay again, to go private, to get the medical care we have already paid for via taxation, which, as you rightly point out, nobody discusses (Where are you on this issue GB News???)

“ India and Bangladesh issued low cost covid kits containing ivermectin, vitamin D, zinc, vitamin K and magnesium to anyone who wanted them. At the time the Indians complained the west dismissed this as a third world exercise with more than a hint of snobbery and even racism.”

The big question in this debate is – why did India and Bangladesh go down this route? Are they not in on the WEF programming and diktats? Or did they refuse? Or is it just taken as a given that they will go along with the programme?

The FDA was actively considering banning the sale of the supplement NAC because it was an effective covid treatment (I’m not sure if they went through with this but it was definitely on the agenda at one stage)

Pfizer showed this on their Q1 earnings call. Of course their interpretation stopped at 4 weeks. It was farcical.

From the transcript:

Evan David Seigerman – BMO Capital Markets Equity Research – MD & Senior BioPharma Research Analyst
So I have 2 on COVID: one, when we think about the evolution of the booster market, how do you see this going? We’ve seen some data suggesting that we’re kind of walking blindly into recommending boosters every so often. What’s the ultimate goal of vaccination? Is it to prevent mild, symptomatic disease? Or is it really just to prevent the severe disease and overloading at the hospitals?
And then my second question is when we think about the evolution of the commercial model for PAXLOVID, can you talk to that? When do you expect to maybe file an NDA and transition away, at least in the United States, from kind of government contracting to more traditional commercial model?

Albert Bourla – Pfizer Inc. – Chairman of the Board & CEO
Yes. Thank you for your questions. Let me see if I can answer and then I will ask our scientists if they have something to add. On the evolution of booster, I think all authorities, they are not moving blindly. We are moving based on data. And the reason why they recommend what they recommend is because data are supporting according to their opinion. I believe that right now, the effort it is to be able to stay ahead of the virus and the virus mutates and the most serious mutation that we have seen was the Omicron, one, because there was the one that was able to evade the new protection of us.
Until then, I think the vaccines were offering very, very good protection against disease and, of course, an excellent protection against hospitalization and death. With Omicron, we saw that while we keep a very good protection against hospitalization and deaths, the protection against the disease is going down. So we have seen that with our data that a fourth dose of the current vaccine protects significantly folds, many folds, the patients from either hospitalizations or death and, of course, also protects the infections but not to the degree that it used to be.
Everybody is working also for new vaccines that will be able to protect better against Omicron while maintaining the same protection against the wild types. We are very advanced with our studies. And we are waiting to hear from FDA what basic combinations they would recommend, what they would like to see at the EMA, and we will be ready day 1 with our vaccines, both in terms of filing and both in terms of manufacturing. As regards PAXLOVID, right now, we are completing the studies and I will ask Mikael to comment when we think that we can file for a full NDA.

Bullshit non-answer. Buck passing to regulators, acting like they are handed goals by FDA, when in reality it is a lengthy negotiation.

May I suggest reading ‘Dissolving Illusions – Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History’ by Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystrianyk.

It is indispensable during these deceitful times and will give a clear insight into the mind-set of those implementing Rockefeller-based ‘medical science’; such as non-stop ‘vaccines’ for something the healthy human body does not need…

I’ve had an aspirin which provided longer resistance to a headache than these dangerous jabs.

OK, not really, but that’s the way these jabs are going. A vaccine provides lifetime, or long-term protection from illness. Not 8 weeks and decreasing …..

The injections were a test for compliance only. Their goal was not healthcare.

Armed with that data the government will now amend it’s approach accordingly.

the fact that severe Covid illness was occurring in the triple-dosed at over three times the rate of the quadruple-dosed suggests that the protection of three doses against severe illness had already significantly declined.

Can someone unpack that argument for me? I don’t get the logic.

Anyhow glad to see four doses provides a substantial additional protection against severe illness which is slow to decline as I had my fourth does in March.

If the triple-dosed had the same protection against severe illness immediately after the third dose as the quadruple-dosed currently have against severe illness, immediately after the fourth dose, then if currently severe illness is running at three times the rate in the triple-dosed as in the quadruple-dosed, then the protection of three doses alone must have already declined by a factor of three.

Yes – but it is also possible that the triple dose offered good protection against severe disease which did not decline and the fourth dose made it three times better. The summary does not give the rates for severe illness but there is nothing in the paper that excludes the rate for four dosers being x, for three dosers 3x (with no decline) and for the unvaccinated being 20x.

None of the uk data supports that scenario. Notice the controls are 3 dose and 4 dose but early after dose. Where is the control against truly unvaxxed with no prior infection or unvax with natural infection. This is why they were so desperate to remove the control group (althought this study seems to have done it anyway), then they can just compare to the previous waning dose and say everyone needs a booster. Lots of studies show natural infection provides better protection. Plus rockoman has posted the link that discusses the lack of all cause mortality data in the study. Its no good reducing someones susceptibility to one thing if it makes you more susceptible to other things. Consistently studies have shown all cause mortality is at best no better in vaxxed and considerably worse in some ages. Then add in the vax deaths which have been hid in the data from the very start.

I would encourage you to use the search term ‘UKHSA’ on this website. There you will find a great deal of information showing that after an apparent positive effect in the short term efficacy rapidly goes negative.

Joel Smalley’s substack also has a great deal of info and analysis in this regard. Perhaps start here:

https://metatron.substack.com/p/covid-requiem-aeternam?s=r

Article and video.

“There is a discernible reduction in the rate of COVID deaths in just 38 out of the 202 countries studied (19%). Therefore, in the vast majority of countries, both the rate and the number of COVID deaths after vaccination programs is higher than before.”

The study only made a comparison between 3 and 4 jabs. It said nothing about absolute levels. Unvaccinated didn’t figure in the study so mentioning it is pointless (other than politically).

The fact that they’re studiously ignoring how purebloods are doing is itself telling. Our own Ministries of Health Truth are also burying those numbers so as not to confuse people with facts and information.

If the data from Israel is correct, then your 4th dose should be wearing off round about now.

sorry to disillusion you but the effectiveness of the 4th jab is dead in the water after 2 months says Israel study. You might have a few days protection left or none at all depending on when you had it.

Basically, to fall for the whole ‘vaccine thing’ you had to believe that scientists had been working without success to find a vaccine against coronaviruses, including Sars-Cov-2, for decades without success, but then, within well under a year. not one but six different products were on the market, all claiming to be tested, safe and effective vaccines against Sars-Cov-2, when the whole process, of necessity, must take much longer, even if successful.

We know that Moderna ( Mode Rna?) were working on Gene Therapies for years without having one considered as safe enough for trial use. It was all lined up to match the’ gain of function’ manufactured Virus ( see Peter Daszak).

The truth is out there for all to find.

Self deception on a massive scale. My GP included. In 2020 I asked her when/if there would be a Covid jab. She shook her head gravely and said with her German accent “ooh no not for 10 years” because of safety concerns, she even doubted there would be a jab at all. Yet she fell for the whole thing hook line and sinker later urging me to have it.

The number of cases of severe Covid-19 per 100,000 person-days (unadjusted rate) was 1.5 in the aggregated four-dose groups, 3.9 in the three-dose group, and 4.2 in the internal control group. 

that’s about the same rate of severe covid cases as UK road deaths per 100k.

you’ve got more chance of doing in your car than of covid based on this bullshit .

I note the word ‘estimation’.

In a population two years into a circulating virus, most vaccinated at varying times with different doses, different ages and health conditions, many or most exposed naturally to the pathogen, any observational studies are meaningless.

The fact that single/double/triple vaccinated people are ‘severe’ cases and dying, tells us the pseudo-vaccines aren’t worth spit, so let’s stop splitting epidemiological hairs and admit it.

i’m sure the 5th jab will do better, if not, i am very very sure the 6th 7th and 8th would do the trick, but just to be sure, better take 9th 10th and 11th jab, but if in doubt, 12th and 13th are there anyway.

In this complex article from Israel they found new mutation in omicron and the conclusion is that even the 3rd dose will be ineffective for omicron
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.04.26.489630v1.full.pdf
P681 mutations within the polybasic motif of spike dictate fusogenicity and syncytia formation of SARS CoV-2 variants

“We conclude that over time, the efficiency of the third dose of the Pfizer vaccine against SARS CoV-2 is waned, and cannot neutralize Omicron”
