It’s been a long time coming, but finally, inexorably, like a Wuhan lab leak, the truth about COVID-19 appears to be seeping out. Short of running the world’s largest Excel spreadsheet on ‘conspiracy theories which came true’, it appears safe to say that the anti-vaxxers and covidiots among us (other slurs are available from those who learned nothing from Brexit) were right about practically everything.
So, how did we know – we ‘little people’, who clearly aren’t world-renowned virologists and therefore had no right to an opinion on the matter? I suspect, like most of you, I know bullshit when I smell it, a talent for which we receive neither thanks nor apology from those bereft of the ability. In my case I had a slight advantage (having literally written the book on bullshit), and I’ll repeat what I wrote back in 2019:
The very least that scammers, politicians and governments could do it seems to me is not insult the public’s intelligence with lies which wouldn’t pass muster in a primary school detention.
Unfortunately in the case of Covid, the lies told by our governments were so breathtakingly amateur, even the most conformist among us had no credible option but to question them.
For me the penny dropped with the justification for the first lockdown – we had to do it to save nan and granddad, the Tories told us. This raised serious alarm bells immediately. Short of their propensity to vote, no government gives a hoot about anyone past retirement age. In fact, the ideal scenario would be for us all to drop dead the moment we qualify for a state pension. Otherwise, there’s always the danger that the elderly will continue to drain the Exchequer, monopolise hospital beds, housing stock and space on public transport, and otherwise clog up infrastructure which could be better invested in Mohammad and Abdul, fresh off the latest Uber dinghy at Dover. In fact, Boris Johnson’s initial reaction to Covid was precisely that it was “nature’s way of dealing with old people”.
But of course, the most obvious indication that something was amiss was the behaviour of those in charge: the politicians and world leaders who had access to all the information, and nonetheless spent their time breaking lockdown, failing to keep their genitals a socially distanced six feet (or even six inches) apart, bringing their own booze to ‘work events’, and whipping their masks off the minute the cameras stopped rolling. In other words, those with the most to live for knew (or at the very least acted as if they knew) that they were in no danger from Covid whatsoever.
Clearly, the lies were insufficient to keep us in check, so we needed to be punished and vilified into compliance – or in Matt Hancock’s language, have “the pants frightened off” us. And so we were. The good guys were the public sector workers, Netflix binging their way through £400 billion’s worth of furlough payments. The bad guys were those avaricious bastards in the private sector – charged not only with paying for everything as usual, but this time with an unusual twist – having to do so while denied the right to actually work.
At first, anti-vaxxers were merely ‘selfish’. Then we were upgraded to ‘dangerous‘. Finally of course, there was no option but to accuse us of ‘murder‘. Guilt-tripped, threatened, fined, then forced into taking the jab – the ultimate Hobson’s choice. It wasn’t the lunatic fringe either, but the mainstream. Andrew Neil of all people openly declared: “It’s time to punish Britain’s five million vaccine refuseniks.” I wonder how Neil feels now that those “fearful”, “ignorant”, “irresponsible” and “stupid” refuseniks have been proved right.
Being right is a dangerous game, almost as dangerous as questioning authority. But the bile accorded anyone who dared ‘question the science’ was incredibly illogical – not just because all of us have undergone a cocktail of vaccinations before we can walk, but more to the point, why would anyone deliberately endanger his or her health as a fashion statement? Questioning ‘the science’ was not permitted under any circumstances, even when the science didn’t add up; even for those whose job is ‘questioning the science’.
Again, the alarm bells should have been ringing here: the very foundation upon which science rests is to question itself – and for damn good reason. A century ago, heroin was being marketed as a cough syrup; in the 1950s, thalidomide was tragically used to treat nausea in pregnant women. Science, by definition, has been wrong before and will be wrong in future.
But for genuine believers, this should not have been an issue. Yet again, the lie was amateur: if the vaccines really worked, why would you care about people you despise refusing to take them? Alas they did not work; losing their ‘100% efficacy’ faster than a 40-year-old OnlyFans model.
Perhaps the most macabre aspect of the Covid scam was the plain stupidity employed to justify the rise of ‘sudden death syndrome’, once it became clear the vaccinated were dropping dead without warning. Heart attacks in 20-year-old athletes used to be a rare occurrence, but not now – virtually anything can trigger a touch of myocarditis. So if you were planning on doing any gardening later, watching TV or heaven forfend exercising after your 93rd booster, you’d be well-advised to give it a miss.
The truth about Covid is finally coming out, despite the authorities’ best efforts to hide it. Never can there have been less pleasure in saying ‘We told you so’. But we did. And now we know. The masks don’t work and never did, but the authorities would still prefer you to wear them regardless. If you believe the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), pregnancies have not been affected. If you want to see the data on that however, you can go whistle. And the social distancing rules? They were made up, just as others had claimed for years.
And the vaccines? Don’t fret – there’s nothing at all wrong with them. Apart from the fact that the FDA (U.S. Dept of Food and Drug Administration) wants 55 years to accommodate freedom of information requests regarding vaccine data; alongside AstraZeneca withdrawing its own vaccine and finally admitting it causes side effects like ‘death’. And of course, only idiots like Trump were claiming celebrity doctors were on the take promoting Covid – it’s just that celebrity doctors were on the take promoting the vaccines.
With the U.K. General Election just around the corner, it’s worth remembering that the politicians begging for your vote are the self-same Tory MPs who spent the entirety of the pandemic either on the piss or taking it. If you think Labour’s any better, the only difference is that Starmer wanted to frighten the pants off you so that he could lock you down harder and faster.
The question that really gets me is: when will there be apologies and compensation for those who risked everything to speak out – those like Mark Steyn, who is still having his name dragged through the mud by Ofcom? And more importantly, when will there be genuine consequences for those involved in the ultimate scamdemic?

Flying viruses don’t exist. 2000 FOI requests globally, have demanded proof of Sars II and the end-to-end-transmission from animals (bats) to humans. Zero proof has been given. This is true of every single disease. Virus theology is anti-science.
It was a pilot project and facts ‘seeping out’ will only change a small minority of sheeple and their belief systems. After all ‘the science’ says flying viruses are real, the quackcines our only hope and that the experts, criminal pharma, ‘the science’, and endless layers of Ministers are not corrupt, stupid, or evil, but trying to save us.
We’ve a long way to go. Decades probably – generations. Too many were up to their necks in it. Read anything anywhere that covers recent history and it will casually refer to something called the “covid pandemic”. Most people still think there was such a thing.
A pandemic of lies, hysteria and credulity.
And the H5N1 plandemic is around the corner. With a 50% kill rate they are telling us. Don’t give in to the fear.
‘So, how did we know – we ‘little people’, who clearly aren’t world-renowned virologists…’
We did about ten minutes research on the internet to discover:
‘People are saying a 2.2 to 2.4% fatality rate total. However recent information is very worthy – if you look at the cases outside of China the mortality rate is <1%. [Only 2 fatalities outside of mainland China]. 2 potential reasons 1) either china’s healthcare isn’t as good – that’s probably not the case 2) What is probably right is that just as with SARS there’s probably much stricter guidelines in mainland China for a case to be considered positive. So the 20,000 cases in China is probably only the severe cases; the folks that actually went to the hospital and got tested. The Chinese healthcare system is very overwhelmed with all the tests going through. So my thinking is this is actually not as severe a disease as is being suggested. The fatality rate is probably only 0.8%-1%. There’s a vast underreporting of cases in China. Compared to Sars and Mers we are talking about a coronavirus that has a mortality rate of 8 to 10 times less deadly to Sars to Mers. So a correct comparison is not Sars or Mers but a severe cold. Basically this is a severe form of the cold.’ 06 Feb 2020
Who was telling us this?
Prof. John Nicholls Clinical Professor MBBS (Adel), FRCPA, FHKCPath, FHKAM (Pathology)
‘In 1997, following the first outbreak of H5N1 influenza in humans, he commenced collaboration with the Department of Microbiology to study the pathological effects of avian influenza viruses in the respiratory tract. In 2003 he was a key member of the research team at the University of Hong Kong which isolated and characterized the novel SARS coronavirus which was associated with the global outbreak of 2003.
His work on SARS and avian influenza has been published in prestigious journals such as Lancet, PLOS Medicine and Nature Medicine as listed in part of his selected biography. His current investigative work is looking at the viral binding sites in the respiratory tract and determining susceptibility to avian influenza in humans and other animals.’
Why was the whole of Whitehall/Westminster incapable of a simple ten minute Google search?
“Why was the whole of Whitehall/Westminster incapable of a simple ten minute Google search?”
Quite simply, there was no need for a Google search. Our authorities were acting under orders.
A Google search is devolving to cock-up theory. There was no cock-up.
Pressure, not orders:
‘French newspaper Liberation, citing sources in Macron’s office, said Johnson’s decision came after the French leader gave him an ultimatum on Friday morning, threatening an entry ban on any traveller from the UK if there were no new measures.
“We had to clearly threaten him to make him finally budge,” the report quoted an Elysee official as saying.
Contacted by Reuters, Macron’s office declined to comment. But a source close to Macron confirmed there was a phone call between the two leaders on Friday. “The way it’s presented is a bit harsh, but we were indeed preparing to close (the border),” the source told Reuters.’
Reuters 22 March 2020
The idea of a conspiracy is just plain silly:
”It is common to dismiss conspiracy theories and their proponents out of hand but I wanted to take the opposite approach, to see how these conspiracies might be possible. To do that, I looked at the vital requirement for a viable conspiracy – secrecy.’
‘Dr Grimes initially created an equation to express the probability of a conspiracy being either deliberately uncovered by a whistle-blower or inadvertently revealed by a bungler…..’
‘Using the equation, Dr Grimes calculated that hoax moon landings would have been revealed in 3 years 8 months…..’
‘He then looked at the maximum number of people who could take part in an intrigue in order to maintain it. For a plot to last five years, the maximum was 2521 people.’
Oxford University 26 Jan 2016
Don’t you think the calculus is changed by conspirators who know the truth won’t be believed, because, for example, they own the media, or have prepared the ground by a long education campaign?
As one example, consider the WEF’s stated claim of having infiltrated various Western governments, and its listing of politicians that were its proteges. Videos were and are available on the WEF’s own website of Schwab and Co making such claims.
Yet, in the Canadian Parliament and, if I remember, the Australian one, MPs who complained about WEF interference were dismissed by ministers as conspiracy theorists, and furthermore the general public awareness was that such was the case.
The only reasons to keep a conspiracy secret are that its discovery will cause a furore, and that there are forces in society willing and able to suppress it. If you control the institutions, it doesn’t matter who knows it, and it’s probably safer to flaunt it whilst distracting the public with dopamine hits.
As the next article clearly demonstrates, there was no conspiracy, only venality.
Pharmaceutical lobbying influenced officials/politicians in the usual way.
‘There was this, everyone had to get vaccinated.’
That’s precisely what various medical voices like Scott Atlas and Jay Bhattacharya declared after the vaccines were released. And they were demonised, attacked and labelled for their efforts.
Now the former head of the CDC (Robert Redfield) just admitted that should have always been the case.
Cuomo wondered why the priorities changed, asking, “Was it because of Big Pharma?” Redfield agreed, saying “Yeah, I think there definitely was a huge influence by the pharmaceutical industry, Pfizer, Moderna….’
https://dailysceptic.org/2024/06/15/former-cdc-director-robert-redfield-admits-lockdown-was-government-overreach-and-immunotoxic-vaccines-were-pushed-on-population-by-big-pharma/
One of the most egregious examples of this overt lobbying came from the now Chief Scientist at W.H.O., Jeremy Farrar, previously director of the Wellcome Trust:
‘As the tension was ratcheting up in Geneva, I was co-hosting a lunch…’
‘That is why I have been attending (Davos) for the past five years. You can reach so many audiences….’
‘I appeared at a press conference at Davos on 23 January 2020….’
‘I was asked to speak first. I was in the spotlight. The truth could not be sugar-coated. ‘We are about six weeks into this outbreak and this virus can now clearly spread between humans,’
”It is not SARS. The virus is in a similar family as SARS but this looks different … and the difference is probably it is easier to pass between human beings. I think we can expect many more cases in China and many more cases in other parts of the world.’
‘Stephane urgently needed cash, he had told Richard (Richard Hatchett, the head of CEPI) a few days before Davos, to turn Moderna’s baby steps on this new coronavirus into phase 1 trials. In the end, there were just three days between Stephane’s pitch and Richard’s sign-off.’

Who was a major investor in vaccines?
‘The Wellcome Trust, Britain’s biggest charity, is ramping up spending on science research to £16bn over the next 10 years, with a focus on funding next-generation Covid vaccines’
The Guardian 11 Jan 2022
Who’s bonus was linked to Wellcome Trust profits?
‘Jeremy Farrar, director of Wellcome, received a pay package worth £515,216, up from £483,788 in the previous year.
Julia Gillard, chair of the Wellcome Trust, said: “The exceptional long-term performance of the investment portfolio has provided us with the means to increase spending commitments significantly at a time when the mission has never been more important.’
Andy Ricketts 12 January 2022
Lobbying is a kind of conspiracy but it lacks the secrecy. Secret lobbying is, often, simple bribery. But lobbying it definitely was that caused the disaster now becoming apparent; lobbying and disastrously, pathetically, weak leadership from Trump, then Biden, Johnson, Macron and so many others……
Isn’t it amazing how governments worldwide all followed the same routes into and out of the “pandemic” that wasn’t a pandemic.
Unbelievable.
Simply compare particular governments actions with the list of major pharmaceutical producing nations.
You will find a startling correlation.
Venality.
But people like piers Corbyn were pointing out how Big Pharma are making a killing and he was derided by Piers Morgan as a conspiracy theorist. As Dr David Martin says, call me a collusion theorist.
I agree that it was not a conspiracy, there are far too many individuals and organisations involved. I also agree about the venality of some; there was massive egotism particularly on the part of some of the scientists and politicians, and others of course; there was for some an overweening belief in their own power; there was greed, both corporate and individual, and overall, certainly on the part of the politicians and their acolytes, sheer bloody-minded stupidity.
The whole Scamdemic was organised at a level beyond national governments. If you fail to see this there is little to discuss with you. None of what has occurred these last four years has been by accident. There was no worldwide cock-up and to believe so is negligent at best.
There is nothing whatsoever to discuss regarding any worldwide cabal.
Simple stuff and nonsense.
Utterly clueless.
77th?
Delusional doesn’t even begin to describe that mindset.
All over the world, at exactly the same time, all doing the exact same thing and reading from the same script, using the same language. A couple of African leaders refusing to toe the line coincidentally ‘died’. Had to be coordinated. Its so easy to buy silence from those who could have spoken up. The leaders in place had all been to Davos and the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ psychology is a powerful control for the sheeple lower down the pecking order.
An excellent response. 👍
Amazing, in the same way, that ‘the same script’ is entirely evidence free of script….
No evidence, no sense.
Major pharmaceutical producers?
‘The top pharmaceutical manufacturing nations in the world are the United States of America, China, Germany, Japan, Ireland, Switzerland, France, Italy, India and Belgium.’
Toughest covid measures?
‘According to the index, the strictest lockdowns and containment strategies have taken place in China, Italy and India, which corresponds with some of the countries hit hardest by the coronavirus. Yet, strategies in the U.S., Brazil, the UK and Germany look similar’
Believe what you like…..
Me? I prefer evidence to blind faith…….
Also surely it was obvious from the evidence of the Diamond Princess cruise ship – a perfect petri-dish example of an isolated population exposed to a virus. Anyone could and should have extrapolated who was more likely to be unwell and in danger (especially if you were elderly (and it didn’t help if you were overweight/obese) with other medical conditions or co-morbidities. I simply can’t understand why that wasn’t taken as a major indicator of ‘what might happen in the wider world’. Except it wasn’t.
Before the Davos Deviants elevated “climate change” to the top spot the C1984 Scamdemic was the biggest hoax, the greatest crime ever committed against the people of the world. In fact, so successful was it that they are having another go later this year despite the fact that the truth is now flowing like a river in flood during the global boiling season.
Unfortunately for the DD’s the “climate change” con is stalling and badly. It seems to be not just lacking momentum but actually going in to reverse and the $cience behind it is about as convincing as Fishy’s claimed loyalty to this country. Even die-hard covidiots can see through it which is saying something.
The downside for us is that we will have to dig in and be prepared to go through this all again. C’est la vie.
C’est la guerre.
Oui.
never forgive, never forget
Seconded 👍
I think you are misguided. The truth about vaccine excess deaths and vaccine injury is not coming out. The Governments, big pharma, mainstream media who coerced and manipulated the globe into taking multiple shots of this deadly poison are not, and will not admit to the astonishing volume of human suffering around the world – they would effectively be admitting liability. Cancers, bacterial infections, clots, autoimmune diseases, broken immune systems, heart attacks, strokes – don’t be ridiculous – they will never allow a direct correlation to be made. We will continue to read about it on X, the daily sceptic and other non-MSM outlets – but it will NEVER be in the bought and paid for mainstream media. They have the H5N1 mRNA vaccine to roll out anyway….
Every word of this resonates.
“Science, by definition, has been wrong before…..” True, and a useful, but short pair of examples. And of course, it’s not limited to pharmacology. There’s a list as long as your arm with products that were popular and promoted in the past. E.g, I’ve still got an old encyclopaedia that has a little article extolling the virtues of asbestos for insulation and fire prevention etc. Then there was tetra ethyl lead; an ideal supplement to petrol/gasoline. And what about ships that were virtually immune to sinking? And so on.
The fact is that we are all vulnerable to significant mistakes. Be careful about sales people/politicians that do not have a proper scientific background to understand that.
The lead story, at least, was not a story of ignorance but a clear industrial conspiracy. The scientist who developed leaded petrol, Thomas Midgley, was trotted out to say how safe it was knew but well of the deaths and neurotoxicity occurring in the factories.
PS, he invented CFCs as well, but I’m inclined to think the conspiracy there was later, in spinning the yarn about their depleting the ozone layer just as the patent ran out, making way for the new money-spinner to replace them.
Thank you for smoking.
Science is a mode of enquiry so, while experiments may result in unexpected results, or practicioners may take unforgivable risks, the mode of enquiry wouldn’t necessarily be wrong, just not being conducted ethically, by people that called themselves Scientists.
It’s why the demise of our institutions is so damaging.
Looking out of one’s own goddamn front window and seeing no pandemic was apparently too much for the porn, mainstream media and big government-addled brains of the west.
In the course of research for a book about my very modest family I learned that my grandfather died in 1918 from Spanish Flu.
except maybe he didn’t. Maybe it was an iatrogenic death caused by over dosing asprin by the local GP.
Or the experimental vaccine. Or bacterial infection. Or the disgusting trench conditions of the horrible war. As Rappoport and the Baileys often say, there doesn’t have to be only one cause when a lot of people die in a cluster.
I agree with Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson, that the huge White Elephants overlooking this Uniparty General Election campaign, are the issues of Lockdowns and Vaccines ie neither/no mainstream party chooses to mention them. They all implicitly understand that they would like us to forget this episode in our history, and that there is nothing to be gained electorally for any of them by reminding us, regardless of which party is more shameful.
Sadly I think that, rather like with the far smaller hoax of WMD in 2003, which was very soon conclusively disproved, we will find that there is a collective denial of this reality.
After the Iraq War it was just generally a kind of shrug and an assertion that Saddam Hussein was a bad kind of dictator anyway (never mind the precedent it set, in terms of unprovoked illegal attacks on foreign countries, which Putin and all of adversaries will have noted). Blair and Campbell remain as respected members of the Elite Establishment despite this, which is surely extraordinary?
With the virtuous Covid hoax, far more of the, now Leftist, righteous.Establishment, who would have criticised the Iraq War, along with the unquestioning apolitical masses, would have far too much cognitive dissonance to overturn any questions about the correctness of the catastrophic social and economic decisions taken by our collective political establishment in 2020/21.
Clincher question ? Do we think Bunter was ill ?
I have always wondered that. People like Alister Campbell was asking the same thing. I suppose it comes down to who was that Nurse from down under. She should be tracked down and questioned.
I don’t think so, no, it was an act of ‘persuasion’ for the masses, and the reward for Boris was a peaceful few weeks off at Chequers, ‘recovering’.
I was initially taken in by Bozo’s “near death” experience but I have long since tended to the view that he hit the bottle and the Colombian marching powder when he realised the devastation he was being ordered to unleash on the people of this country.
A few days reprogramming by his handlers got him back on course.
Fanciful? Maybe, but he certainly wasn’t at risk from the C1984, that was Jackanory stuff.
He had a common cold…..or influenza.
Thanks to NHS incompetence, absurd PCR cycle thresholds, we will never know what kind of Influenza Like Illness he really had.
Man flu
No. If he was so ill surely there was no way that he would have allowed the office ‘parties’ to go ahead. It was pure pantomime
The truth coming out will make little difference if the systems that produced the lies and corruption are still in place.
Quite.
What made me smile was the Conservative Party not noticing that Labour were voting with them on every draconian lockdown measure. To lumber them with the following financial collapse. So Labour could shake off their tag about being irresponsible with the nations finances. The Conservative Party didn’t spot it. That has destroyed the Tory Party. Not hapless Sunak.
Did Labour work that out themselves: certainly not the leadership.
The “Worms” in the can that it’s lid is off, we’re “Snakes”
That is a brilliantly written article
My favourite barmy restriction was the requirement in a restaurant or pub to put on a mask to walk to the lavatory to protect everyone from an air-borne virus that would not infect anyone when breathed out whilst sitting down. And most of the population obeyed! I discovered my exempt lanyard gave me equal protection.
That and the two-foot high plastic screens between tables. As if this airborne virus was incapable of floating around or over such a mighty barrier.
Article worth reading on turbo cancers.
