Oh FFS they weren’t vaccines.

Of course they’re not going to reduce mortality.

When are you “experts” actually going to catch on?

Mistakes weren’t made. It was a deliberate cull.

Exactly. And besides, name an actual vaccine for a respiratory disease which works. Nothing’s changed, they’ve just made them deadlier by orders of magnitude. ”Deliberate cull” indeed.

Culling aside, it helps legitimise widespread use of a new technology that, in November 2018, was expected to be “several years away from being tested in the U.S.”. Those several years to reach testing turned out to be very pessimistic.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220515130615/https://www.pfizer.com/news/articles/new_rna_technology_could_get_the_flu_vaccine_right_every_year

Pfizer removed the November 30 2018 date from this article circa mid 2021 so it isn’t shown on the web archive. Dates tend to be helpful on news articles so an unusual piece of information to remove.

This new technology was also legitimised by attempts to discredit alternative treatments and prevention, including vitamin D and HCQ. The medical establishment’s “relentless war” against HCQ is covered in this documentary (also featuring Dr. Peter McCullough) from 46:31:

Covidism: The Contagious Deception – 2023 Documentary – Part I – The White Rose

See also from 51:55 for the Rome Declaration concluding that this war constitutes “possible crimes against humanity”.

Historically, the medical establishment has also conducted a similar war against laetrile (used for cancer prevention and cure), thus leading to the banning of apricot kernels (a laetrile source) being sold as a food in the EU. The unethical practices of the pharmaceutical industry have been known for a long time. See for example this piece in the Independent from 2014 by Oliver Wright (now policy editor for the Times muppets):

Big Pharma lobbyists exploit patients and doctors | The Independent | The Independent

Also here:

Revealed: Big Pharma’s hidden links to NHS policy, with senior MPs saying medical industry uses ‘wealth to influence government’ | The Independent | The Independent

(Refresh page to show full article?).

Instead of sorting this out, our politicians have enabled a medical scandal far worse than anything that could have been imagined back in 2014. Is it going too far to suggest our politicians and msm who failed to pursue this story (including the Times muppets) have been criminally negligent or worse? Never forget what they have done to us.

Digging deep in to the nuances of 1918 and the Spanish Influenza that allegedly killed 50 million, one may come to the conclusion that this isn’t the first time.

Please listen to this Danish doctor talking about early studies into the effectiveness of traditional vaccines and the effect of using live against dead viruses in the vaccines.

Denmark teaches us that mediocre vaccines cannot change the natural course of a pandemic.

Managed to slip back into the Overton window by a whisker.

Don’t know why you have so many downticks – I presume you were being gently humorous.

I suppose I sound like a broken record but IMO it bears repeating. Fundamentally the problem with what happened with covid isn’t that masks and lockdowns and “vaccines” didn’t work as advertised, the problem is that the event (if there was one) was well within what had been accepted norms for living with such infectious diseases by carrying on as normal. That contract has been broken and unless and until that understanding is restored, we are in danger. I don’t see this view repeated enough above the line.

According to a Pfizers own document dated Jan 2021 (released due to a FOI request) there was zero difference in lung inflammation of Covid infected Macaques whether “vaccinated” or not.
Considering Covid is a Respiratory virus I’m willing to drop the “almost”

Here is another view supplied by the Johns Hopkins University of Medicine
They recorded cases, deaths and vaccine numbers for all countries, although the accuracy and choice of scale was questionable. Either way, there is a picture here particularly the timing of the ‘vaccines’ and the 3rd wave. Denmark used 3 different ‘vaccines’: Johnson & Johnson; Oxford A/Z; Pfizer BioNtech
Compare these graphs with those for all previous respiratory outbreaks such as the Spanish Flu, where there were usually 1 or 2 waves with all subsequent waves being lower and disappearing.

The ONS generated a report that draws the same conclusions but for political reasons could not state it;
