A 59-year-old man unfortunately died in Mexico in late April. Having been bed-bound for weeks and suffering from type-2 diabetes and chronic renal failure, he was at high risk from respiratory virus infection. It became newsworthy, and the World Health Organisation thousands of miles distant even released a media statement, because recent advances in genetic sequencing allowed the presence of Type A (H5N2) influenza virus – a type of bird flu – to be reported in a single clinical sample a month later. Refuting WHO’s distant bureaucrats attributing mortality to the virus, Mexico’s Health Secretary is reported as noting it was chronic illness that caused the death.
Irrespective of cause, deaths are a tragedy for family and friends. This one made global news purely because of advances in diagnostic technology. The WHO, the media and a growing pandemic industry had been waiting for this inevitable event, testing and screening, as it is critical to perhaps the largest business scheme in human history. There are hundreds of billions on the table, and the will and means to take it. We all need to understand why, and what is supposed to happen next.
Covid and the resetting of public health
COVID-19 has proven the business case for gain-of-function research. It looks increasing likely that some genetic fiddling really did succeed in moving a bat coronavirus into humans, where it is more amenable to monetisation (there is no profit in sick bats, or fear of them). Importantly, despite the broad economic and health catastrophe that followed, those behind the programme are continuing much the same work and not being held to account. There is vast profit with little or no real risk.
However, what the Covid episode really demonstrated is the financial and political gains that can be achieved irrespective of outbreak severity. As Klaus Schwab and Thierry Malleret pointed out in mid-2020 in their book COVID-19: The Great Reset, COVID-19 can be used to subvert post World War II concepts of democracy and human rights and return society to a corporate authoritarian model (‘Stakeholder Capitalism’), even though the illness is usually mild. What is needed is a shared narrative among those who stand to benefit: media, governments and the corporate world. While the term ‘Great Reset’ seems to have been discarded as unpopular, the World Economic Forum’s (WEF’s) stated intent to penetrate governments and change society to the benefit of their members is clearly undiminished.
Devastating mortality is not needed to drive societal change, just the fear of it. You need a test, visuals such as masks and circles on the pavement, a dependent media, and a research and health establishment whose career opportunities are dependent on compliance. The ramping up of surveillance for the vast sea of viral variants that is nature has just been officially confirmed through the adoption of amendments to the 2005 International Health Regulations at the World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva. Irrespective of the reality of risk or the massively disproportionate public funding required, the world is going to find a lot more potential threats, and is building a whole industry that will ensure these translate into corporate profit.
The opportunity of influenza
Avian influenza, or bird flu, has been around perhaps as long as birds (so was likely a dinosaur malady in Cretaceous times). Humans must have lived alongside it for over 200,000 years, and our primate ancestors far longer. Bird flu viruses are part of a range of variants of the influenza virus family that undergo regular mutation and recombination (even mixing genome from viruses that normally infect different species) that makes them appear relatively new to our immune system. This makes them more harmful and results in a new influenza outbreak almost every year, as our immunity from the last one (or from a prior influenza vaccine) only partially addresses the next.
Sometimes, recombination allows an influenza virus that is mostly confined to other animals, such as birds, to undergo a wider shift that allows it to infect other species, such as humans. This is similar to what scientists sometimes try to simulate in the lab through ‘gain-of-function’ research, such as modifying bat coronaviruses to become pathogenic to humans.
Humans have always lived in very close proximity with and eaten animals that harbour influenza viruses. The last major ‘spillover’ of influenza from birds to humans was the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918-19. It killed perhaps 20 to 40 million people, most probably due to secondary bacterial pneumonia as there were no modern antibiotics. In the century since, an event of this nature has not recurred, and with modern antibiotics and medical care the mortality of the Spanish Flu should now be far lower.
So, why are we seeing the current hysteria regarding bird flu, and why are the media promoting narratives such as a potential mortality massively greater than the Spanish Flu or any influenza outbreak in human history? The answer, presumably, lies earlier in this article. A very wealthy corporate and financial sector that is influential over governments and media that knows, and has demonstrated, that wealth can be concentrated to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars through fear of a virus.
There is now a rapidly expanding army of virologists, ‘virus hunters’, public health bureaucrats and modellers whose sole reason for receiving funding is to find and publicise new variants of viruses. We have international public-private partnerships devoted to developing and distributing vaccines for such events, supported by taxpayer funding. We also have a draft pandemic treaty that has just been deferred by the WHA, intended to further increase public funding for this private good. From an industry viewpoint, its rapid passage in coming months would benefit from fear and urgency.
Making bird flu work
Declaration of a bird flu pandemic therefore looks almost inevitable, whether facilitated by ongoing gain of function research and a lab leak, or through a natural passage to humans. This inevitability is not so much because it is a real and existential threat, but rather because the industry – the financial-Pharma-media-public health complex that has arisen before and through Covid – needs it. The virus is real. The threat can also be made to appear existential. It is likely to proceed something like the scenario below.
Traces of genome and even whole viruses can be found in raw agricultural produce. Testing these, and human sewage (contaminated with virus from birds or humans), is already underway and will demonstrate this. Genome has already been found in milk, probably because we looked for it – this has probably also happened often, undetected, before.
Extensive testing of workers on chicken farms and on farms where other infected animals are housed (e.g. dairy herds) will find people who test positive for the virus. Biology is highly variable and some people will establish short-lived mild infections. A few will become severely ill and die due to some immune deficiency or factors such as a very high infective dose. Once listed as a rare pneumonia of unknown cause, such infections can now be definitively pinned as bird flu and used very effectively by media to increase viewership. Within the public health community, these occurrences promote salary and research funding and are extremely important.
Mass killing (culling) at chicken farms. This won’t halt spread, as spread mainly occurs through wild bird species. It could theoretically protect workers from the low (but not zero) risk they face. Importantly, it makes news and promotes a perception that something really bad is afoot. Those that order culls do not suffer from them, and industrial chicken producers are compensated by taxpayers, who will also pay more for eggs and chicken meat. Left unchecked, many chickens would have died in an outbreak, while some would have survived.
Mass killing of secondary hosts such as cattle. Again, a low risk to humans. It is also relatively easy to quarantine cattle herds until an outbreak has run its course. However, culling creates publicity and the impression of a dynamic, desperate response, important in creating a sense of a public health sector scrambling to save the public. It also supports a movement claiming that farming for meat should be replaced by highly processed factory-derived alternative foods, an alternative that is struggling for market share. The fake meat industry is supported by some of the same major investors as Pharma, who are very vocal in the pandemic agenda.
Modelling to demonstrate potential mass death within the population. The major modelling groups (e.g. Imperial College, University of Washington, Gates Foundation) are funded by entities who are invested in Pharma and gained greatly from COVID-19. Modellers understand outcomes that benefit sponsors, which may have influenced the emphasis on worst-case and highly unrealistic outcomes during COVID-19.
Requirement for mass vaccination (or killing) of backyard chickens to keep the community safe. The concept of ‘greater good’ is the most popular of the concepts that underpin fascism, and can be used to ensure broad compliance, with vilification of non-compliers being the penalty. This was used widely by pro-corporate politicians such as Justin Trudeau to isolate and denigrate those who wanted to weigh harms against benefits of Covid vaccines or supported the concept of bodily autonomy. The U.K. and Ireland recently introduced a requirement to register all backyard chickens to facilitate this process.
Requirement for vaccination of chicken owners – owners of every farm or backyard hen. This will be sold as further protecting their neighbours and communities. Those refusing will be portrayed as putting their entire communities at risk, especially the ‘most vulnerable’. This message, however distanced from context and reality, is very powerful and the media demonstrated during Covid how willing they are to exploit such division and scapegoating.
Lockdowns, school closures, closure of smaller workplaces. As during Covid, this will involve mainly those lacking influence at WEF and similar forums. There will be some deaths in the community, and even busy ICUs from influenza or other causes, and this will be highlighted as unusual (which, of course, it is not) to promote a need to ‘all pull together; and overcome the threat. This is a difficult message to counter, as on a superficial level such fascistic greater good claims make support for individual choice, fundamental to free societies, difficult.
Population-wide mass vaccination. Mass vaccination can be promoted as inconvenient but necessary as an all-in community safety issue. Although people may be more resistant as harms from Covid vaccination become more widely acknowledged, bird flu is already being portrayed as potentially far worse. The vaccine will be pitched as a way to get freedoms back, a form of coercion once anathema in public health but now mainstream. With hundreds of billions in Pharma sales at stake, it is an extremely hard train to stop. Billions spent on advertising, political sponsorship and propaganda are literally minor business expenses.
The order of the above steps, and the emphasis, may change. None of the steps will stop bird flu. It spreads through wild bird species and will continue to do so. Occasionally, it will spillover into humans. Very occasionally these will cause a significant outbreak. The Spanish Flu was a bad example, but life rapidly went back to normal.
Managing perceptions
In the century since the Spanish Flu, influenza outbreaks have continued to resolve naturally with little change in human behaviour, but steadily building alarm. The Hong Kong Flu of 1968-69 had been shrugged off as an annoyance and didn’t even stop Woodstock. The SARS outbreak in 2003 (a coronavirus, not influenza) promoted widespread fear, yet killed in total the same as die every eight hours from tuberculosis. The Swine Flu outbreak of 2009, which killed less than normal seasonal influenza, precipitated an international crisis. Pandemics, though real, are mostly about perceptions. So is the response.
The pandemic industry has become far better, and more systematic, at managing perceptions. This is the whole basis on which the behavioural psychology of government ‘nudge units’ was based during Covid. The aim was not a calculated overall public good, but to promote a particular set of public behaviours to address a narrowly defined threat. This is now underway for bird flu. A large part of the populace will comply with increasingly strict measures, not because they have been presented accurate information in context upon which they can make rational choices, but because they are fooled, or coerced, into behaviours they would not normally follow. They will accept restrictions and interventions that they would normally resist.
Unless wider society regains control of the agenda, the Pharma industry and its investors are set to make a killing through bird flu. It will be at least as big as Covid. It will also serve an important role in further building the pandemic industry, justifying finalisation of the postponed WHO Pandemic Agreement (treaty). It is a vital cog in the (renamed) ‘Great Reset’.
Outbreaks do occur and we should monitor and prepare for them. However, we have allowed the development of a system where outbreaks are almost all that matters. Perceptions of risk, and resultant funding, have become grossly disproportionate to reality. The perverse incentives driving this are obvious, as are the harms. The world will be increasingly unequal and impoverished, and sick, building on the outcomes of the Covid response. Fear promotes profit better than calmness and context. It is on us to remain calm and continually educate ourselves regarding context. No one will sell these to us.

No wonder trust in tptb have never been at a lower ebb! So called ‘professionals’ coming up with unobtainable goals just to look good! Twats the lot of em!
She is an example of many of them that lost the plot, leading to the collapse of trust in their organisations. Forgiving them might be appropriate, but that’s not the same thing as restoring any confidence in them.
This admission from Sridhar is nothing to do with losing the plot. She is a close acolyte of Lord Bill of the Gates of Hell and up to her neck in WEF antics. What she did throughout the Scamdemic was to follow orders and her current backtracking pronouncements are simply more of the same. This is just a crude attempt to polish her badly tarnished halo. She lied back then, she’s lying now.
Will, I have to pull you up on this:
“precisely the kind of goal that has led to the U.K. economy being in the pits right now as we face mounting military threats.”
The only military threats we are facing are those being engineered by third parties such as the EU and the WEF.
Russia is not a threat at all unless it feels it is being directly challenged and how exactly is GB going to achieve that?
The Middle East is on the brink of major escalation but no country is directly threatening GB.
No question our economy is heading to rock bottom but this is being deliberately engineered by Fishy and his cronies and could be reversed overnight if Nut Zero was ditched.
“a vaccine which, we should recall, in summer 2020 was an unknown as to when or if it would arrive”
Oh they knew when it would arrive and to think otherwise is bordering on cock-up theory. The damned things had been in production years previously.
WEF scumbags never admit they are wrong about anything without it serving a wider purpose. Quite possibly this faux mea culpa is her way of positioning herself ready for the dreaded Disease X.
Quick let’s hide.
Or it is just flim flam for the MSM.
Maajid Nawas has a good take on Disease X

Thanks Ron.
Correct. Sridhar is well connected with the evil ‘elite’ She was a long term associate of Bill and Hill’s daughter Chelsea.who was also at University of Oxford in the early 2000s. See BMJ Article from 2017 on Tedros’ appointment as DG of WHO.
I don’t forgive misanthropes who caused the misery and deaths of millions through their lust for power.
Sridar never had a plot to lose! She was/is woefully inadequate and not an “expert”.
May as well have asked one of the janitors for their opinion which probably would result I a better outcome for Scotland.
I am indebted to fellow BTL poster Clive for introducing me to this wonderful anecdote about a UK govt health minister in the 60s, probably during the ’68 Flu “pandemic”. Can you imagine any MP from any party saying this now? Can you imagine a government minister saying it? How far we have fallen in such a short space of time.
MP John Vaughan-Morgan’s response to questions about what he intended to do about Asian Flu:
“What precautionary action is my hon.Friend’s Department taking?”
“None.”
“And what extra steps is my hon.Friend taking to protect the British people from these infections?”
“None, my hon.Friend. None at all.”
Thanks for that tof👍
Actually I asked my Dad about the ’68 ‘flu.
“Well there was a bit of it knocking about. I think, but not so you’d notice.’
A close friend asked his mother about the ’68 ‘flu. She genuinely didn’t remember. And that reply was not down to bad memory.
My mum and dad lived through it and the one about 10 years earlier. They also lived through one and two world wars respectively, the rise of Hitler in Germany and his replacement in the East with another lot of Socialist Fascists after the war. Funnily enough they never mentioned “flu pandemics”. Actually they didn’t mention the wars much either – too busy getting on with life. Different generation.
My parents would have had much in common with yours tof. We share similar backgrounds.
I fear if there were alive today they would be dismayed that the sacrifices made and hardships endured personally and by the generations they were part of are being betrayed.
One of the Apollo 8 crew developed flu on the way round the moon. He caught it from the President. The mission was, of course, successful.
As for me, I was learning guitar and doing my A-level mocks, with no worries about any pandemic or even my aged grandparents, who were all fine too.
Don’t just do something. Stand there!
Yes, the terrible ‘flu of 1968…
There one in the late 50s too I believe. Bit like the “terrible covid” of 2020…
I think the one in the ’50’s was Winter ’57 /’58.
I’m assuming in 1968 patients were not helped off their mortal coil!
I was at university at that time. I have no direct memory of that epidemic affecting our day-to-day life, and only a vague recollection that it was something that occasionally cropped up on the news. If there were to be a repeat I would expect students again to be caged quarantine, like in 2020, not by the Government but by the university authorities, who would interpret “advice” as orders. I am not at all confident that “lessons have been learnt”, other than that it easy for a corrupt, authoritarian regime led by psychopaths to fool or terrify most of the populace into compliance, especially with the willing compliance of the media and professional bodies.
Indeed no lessons have been learnt. A childish addiction to “safety” has created a race of infantile people who expect and want the state or someone else to solve all their problems and make all nasty things go away, and they would rather suffer during futile attempts to do this than face the awful truth that life is chancy and dangerous. This addiction is easily exploited by tyrants and greedy, evil bastards.
Also in the 68 ‘pandemic’ they enjoyed Woodstock Festival. A good way to herd immunity anyway.
Do you recall this?

Covid: York self-isolating students told ‘wait behind in fire’
Students self-isolating at the University of York have been told to wait in their room in the event of a fire and let others out first.
The university’s Health and Safety Services told students to wait for a minute before leaving “to allow non-isolating individuals to exit”…
…The instruction was sent out in a email to self-isolating students earlier this week.
It said the “additional guidance” had been developed to “maintain social-distancing from non-isolating residents”…
The guidance stated: “If you are self isolating and the fire system in your accommodation building is activated please follow these procedures to ensure your safety.
“When the alarm sounds; stay in your room for one minute then make your way to the nearest refuge (this will allow non-isolating individuals to exit the building).”
Self-isolating students were then asked to contact the university’s Security Services from a refuge area and wait to be told if they needed to evacuate the building.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said officials had contacted the university after being made aware of the guidance.
A University of York spokesperson said: “Our advice and guidance has been updated and changed.
“We take the health and safety of our students and staff extremely seriously.
“All students are required to undertake a mandatory fire safety induction and this clearly states that all students should evacuate the building immediately, meeting at the designated fire assembly point.
“Students are reminded that in gathering at the fire assembly point, they should adhere to social distancing guidelines.”
Those responsible for producing this guidance should be hunted down and made to face a public inquisition before being summarily
firedsacked. 😳Yes, at least. And remember this dreadfully shameful…..I don’t know how to describe it.

You were right with the first “method” of The Inquisition…..
My parents, who were at university at the time, don’t even remember that there was a nasty flu knocking about in ’68! And my mum was a medical student as well…
Indeed and “covid” would have been the same without the advertising campaign.

People in Hamburg were still sane at the time.
How far we’ve fallen…
Just heard another colleague is off with “covid”. God I am glad I don’t have to sit in an office with these clowns.
She was part of a clique pushing for authoritarian nonsense that immiserated us all and probably killed many. What consequences is she facing for that?
These people are pretending like they were acting on all the information available to them, that it was the best decision possible, and that all evidence pointed towards it. Bollocks. There were A LOT of experts telling these people that they’re not only ignoring evidence, but that they’re outright lying. The data was there. We had the evidence. We reached the correct conclusion. And we were silenced for it. These people are criminals. They need to be in a jail. Absolutely ridiculous. And what’s even worse, everyone’s giving them a pass!
There were plenty of people sending her the real data, my husband included. Upshot: she blocked him. It became a sort of badge winning exercise among the number crunchers to be blocked by Devi.
No excuses, no forgiveness.
It’s not just about having the data though. Wouldn’t you think that an ‘expert’ in the field would know all about how similar viruses behave and the research that had been done decades before about these viruses? How could they be so ‘incompetent’ to believe that they could eradicate the virus to achieve zero-Covid? No, it wasn’t just incompetence, it was deliberate.
She wasn’t an ‘expert in the field’.
She’s an anthropologist.
Do we really believe this non-entity of a woman was somehow a factor in determining policy in Scotland during covid?
If so the only question that is really worth asking as far as I’m concerned, is how can we tolerate a bureaucratic machinery that gives power to individuals like this to shape our lives.
Unelected, unaccomplished, ignorant And it would seem also unaccountable because it seems that she can get away with an “oops, sorry, my bad” for ruining and disrupting the lives of millions.
That this state of affairs doesn’t infuriate the masses into action is perhaps the most depressing aspect of modern society.
I’m sure she was just another useful idiot in a huge global machine. The people pulling the levers were very clever in designing something that appealed to lots of interests and played on lots of fears.
On the subject of who pulls the levers, I found this explanation by Ramaswamy very persuasive.

It’s less devious backroom scheming and more perverse web of incentives.
See what you think.
He’s an interesting speaker. But why for example does Larry Fink, the boss of Blackrock, want to pressure the firms in which Blackrock is invested to get on board with the climate and diversity scams? What is his incentive?
It’s a good question and I don’t have the answer. I can only speculate.
It’s certainly a way to eliminate competition. By inventing these bizarre conditions that companies have to meet to be investable they reduce the number of investable companies, because not every company will meet the standard. And if they are the ones defining these conditions, they can add or tweak the conditions whenever they need to in order to keep plenty of companies offside.
I can’t think of any other reason. Can you? He’s definitely doing it, so there has to be a reason.
Seems like an elaborate and possibly inefficient way to eliminate competition. It will make those companies less profitable, for sure. Though it does hurt smaller businesses who cannot afford all that crap.
I can think of a few explanations
1) He really believes all the crap, and he thinks he is saving the world.
2) His wife really believes all the crap, and he is keeping his wife happy. Ask De Pfeffel about that one.
3) He is part of a conspiracy to destroy our civilisation and take us back to the middle ages and turn us all into serfs.
4) He’s doing it to keep on the good side of the politicians.
I think it’s some combination of the first 3, and the politicians are in on the conspiracy.
We shall almost certainly never know. What I do know is that Larry Fink is my enemy, and I need to convince as many people as possible of this.
Ideological reasons seem the least likely of all explanations. I seriously doubt the CEO of a major company believes in anything but his career, with very few exceptions.
If 4, all you are doing is transferring rhe question to the next person. Why is the politician doing it?
I still like my explanation. Creating closed shops by creating contrived criteria is the oldest trick in the book for managing the supply and therefore the market. Every single profession in the UK does it. Guilds, Associations, etc.
It’s that principle.
I had an acquaintance who was CEO of a largeish firm. I think he was pretty honest with me. I never got the impression he was anything but sincere, but that’s somewhat anecdotal and maybe he was a good actor. He wasn’t rabidly “woke”, just believed in “good causes” (and stuck his own money into them). People like Fink are probably at another level though.
Because theirs is a viral ideology. They choose people that think and operate like them. And to make it even worse, the people that are capable and would make great leaders all have more important things going on in their lives than politics. The only people you see wanting to get into politics are either those that can’t do anything else, or those that want to get their way and no one’s listening to them. Wannabe tyrants.
It’s not just this idiot but all those responsible for appointing her in the first place……and this “process”, very evidently not restricted to the public sector ( Dames Blanc, Rose and White being recent examples of that ); people get appointed to positions of power, influence and responsibility – they infect selection boards/committees and appoint people “just like me”…
“That this state of affairs doesn’t infuriate the masses into action is perhaps the most depressing aspect of modern society.” 100%.
One by one, they are starting to jump ship.
I suggest we let them all flounder in the water for a while.
I don’t think she really is jumping ship. She says she still wanted “maximum suppression” which is Zero Covid in all but name.
Nope; chuck the chum overboard with them and watch for as long as your stomach allows…
Sridar is doubtless academically very bright, but her area of expertise (MPhill and DPhil) is anthropology. I should’ve thought relevant topics to be appointed to her position would have come from medicine, virology, epidemiology or some such.
I don’t think the fact that she has a Phd proves anything except possibly that she is no less bright than Claudine Gay. She can spring a few sentences together – well so can journalists and their ilk. I’m sure she’d make a suitable conquest for everybody’s favourite midwit Gary Lineker, although I suppose she’s a bit old to intern at the BBC.
I should’ve thought relevant topics to be appointed to her position would have come from medicine, virology, epidemiology or some such
You’d think. Doesn’t mean they’d be any better unfortunately!
I give her credit, not for her DPhil (not PhD) but as the USA’s youngest ever recipient of the Rhodes scholarship award. A pretty noteworthy achievement, as I’m sure you’ll agree.
And I give you: Chelsea Clinton.
More seriously, as we all know, critical thinking skills, self reflection, and a moral compass are in short supply amongst our elites, many of who are highly gifted within their fields. Relevant expertise is neither necessary nor sufficient.
Given what I know now how sure can we be that Sridhar gained a Rhodes scholarship on merit?
Not buying the excuses, its the same as those accused of War crimes at Nuremberg who tried to explain that they didn’t know what was going on, or they had to do it to protect their own skins. She was complicit when she first uttered the words zero covid,not only did she do that she was a vocal and influential figure who regularly pushed for the harshest of restrictions. Like the rest of them she realises her livelihood and gravy train is at best at stake, I only wish the Nuremberg trials were re-established, and that those who led the inhumanities visited on millions of us wereplaced on trial with the same penalties.
She is akin to the thief who isn’t sorry that she stole,but is awfully sorry she is gong to jail.
She would do it all again given the chance. Immoral and a coward.
I couldn’t agree more.
She should be behind bars.
Devi Shridhar (an anthropologist by background with no academic training in medicine, virology or immunology), the much touted media spokesperson chairing “Global Public Health” at the University of Edinburgh and apparently keen to push experimental vaccines on the world including on children, has publicly lied on a major news program reaching millions, BBC Newsround, where she answered questions and assured children and parents the experimental Pfizer mRNA vaccine was “100% safe and effective, ” risks outweighed benefits, children were not likely to get COVID-19 after the vaccine based on clinical trials, and the only downside was another shot in the arm. Shridhar’s claim that not a single child has died due to the Covid-19 vaccine is an outright lie.
She has blood on her hands.
I’d love to know how and why she became so prominent on the MSM
I’d have thought TRPTB could have done better.
Maybe it was just a trial run to see how much bullshit lies joe public would swallow.
“I’d love to know how and why she became so prominent on the MSM
Gender and ethnicity may have a lot to do with it….as much as wilfully blind MSM editorial/reporters who could not believe that “someone like me” is saying “what is our truth “.
“Zero-Covid, whether understood as elimination or as maximum suppression while waiting for a vaccine (a vaccine which, we should recall, in summer 2020 was an unknown as to when or if it would arrive) is not in any way a sensible public health strategy. The fact that this is still not recognised by those in charge – or by the Covid Inquiry set up to examine the question – bodes ill for the future.”
I think they know very well it’s not “sensible”.
Her Bullsh1t is now exposed for all to see so she is trying to back track but what will her WEF masters say I wonder !!
Probably she is cleaning up her record in readiness for an appointment by the incoming Labour government.
Satan worshiper, kneeles at the throne of Billy Gates that other well known epidemiologist.
Spot on.👍
I’m very much in favour of maximally suppressing Devi Sridhar as the available evidence strongly suggests that this will improve public health outcomes for everyone else.
It’s worth recapturing here how Sridhar’s ZeroCOVID plan she (among others) was strongly advocating for as fastest, if not only, way back to “normal life” at that time actually looked like. The idea was to dividie the country into a large set of fairly small open air concentration camps with physical borders people couldn’t cross because of obstacles and guards, probably armed guard, although this wasn’t really discussed at that time, between them. People inside a particular COVID isolation area were supposed to be PCR-tested regularly and the ones who had tested positive put into strict isolation until they were negative again. This was to continue until positive PCR-tests didn’t occur anymore in the area. Afterwards, it was supposed to be declared a so-called green area and as the number of green areas increased over time, borders between them would eventually be dismantled, ultimatively leading to a ‘free’ country free of COVID. Except that this would never have happened because a virus with an animal reservoir cannot be eliminated in this way and because airborne COVID would have crossed the borders between the isolation areas at leisure.
— now comes the part where I’m a bit lost for words —
She and all the other people pushing for this monstrous whole population incarceration plan – Labour had a very active ZeroCOVID faction at that time calling for the exact same madness to be implemented, Diane Abbott being among them – are all still walking free and back to their merry pre-COVID selves of championing greater social justice and improvement of democracy. The description above details how their socially just, improved democracy would have really looked like, had they gotten their way.
Indeed.
“as we face mounting military threats.”
The only “mounting military threats” are the ones “we” (Globalist elites) have created.
How do you eradicate an imaginary virus?
Don’t give up your day job. On second thoughts…bloody hell!
Better still, how do we eradicate a fast replicating, recombinant defective gain of function genetically modified viral infection? Not, ever, by mass vaccination, mRNA drugs or no.
Sounds like her partial “mea culpa” is part of the WEF’s “Re-building Trust” strategy.
Ain’t gonna work, luv.
’Mounting military threats’?
I am fed up with sabre rattling.
Well Boohoo. Not liking these creeps coming out of the woodwork and recanting now when they think they might suddenly be on the wrong side. They LOVED it when they had authority over us. Why not a bit more doubt and compassion expressed at the time?
its interesting that much more consequential questions are being asked in Scotland of the likes of Shridhar and Dentist of doom Jason Leitch. The alliance of authoritarians were determined to use Covid to promote everything they long for from the rainbow cult to fifteen minute cities. They saw Covid as a test bed, and when the corrupt WHO did Chinas bidding they lapped it up. Sturgeon who will hopefully have her sour faced comeuppance, is best seen as a Stalinist, she believes in using radical ideology to dupe and control people. Her and her pathetic placeman along with the green goblins are doubling down on their preferred policies even as the polls tank. For example, conversion therapy bans, compulsory green measures and the introduction of pilots for jury less rape trials. The latter based on some of the most laughable evidence ever produced in support of any policy. None of them by the way really believes in independence. They tactically use the grievance of nationhood to extract money out of Westminster, while riding the gravy train. Grift and grievance is their game. Despite attempts by Anar Anwar human rights ambulance chaser extraordinaire to put the families at the centre (as in the fake Westminster enquiry) , it seems the Scottish legal establishment and a handful of academics are having a go at the Caledonian cabal. The idea that Shridhar an anthropologist of nutrition should be anywhere near advising on a virus is the ultimate diversity play. Hopefully more of these people will be unmasked Scotland is often the test bed for controversial policies, maybe the experiment with challenging Covid dogma (but only in Scotland) is a sign that the establishment know how their fake enquiry is perceived.
