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?

“Governments don’t stay in power if they make people cold and poor”. They do if there is no coherent opposition to vote for.
And even if they don’t stay in power and get replaced, the next lot just carry on in the same way, so it makes no difference.
And they are rewarded with gongs for failure.
Which confirms what I keep repeating on here – our governments are NOT running the country.
Pitchforks.
Petrol bombs while we still have access to it.
All the petrol pumps have been damaged by climate zealots.
Pointing out the costs and suffering won’t put an end to insane climate policies.
The policies stem from the idea that burning fossil fuels leads to climate catastrophe and destruction.
In most peoples’ minds, a bit of suffering is better than catastrophe and destruction.
Years and years of brainwashing need to be undone.
But that isn’t going to happen without telling everyone that the whole CO2 climate catastrophe story is a giant hoax.
Too many people who try to argue against climate policy on the basis of the unacceptable costs don’t dare to challenge the broader narrative and that’s a big problem.
I think this is true for the Guardian readers I know, but I also talk to quite a few people much more grounded in reality and I am sure they would be more than happy to forget about the climate crisis if their bills went down.
People are saying that “the whole CO2 climate catastrophe story is a giant hoax” but they do not try to prove it. Probably they do not know enough to be able to.
The UN and WEF will be delighted that their planned destruction of the UK …. at the hands of the British Establishment and puppeticians is going so well.
Only a small percentage of the Earth’s surface has direct temperature reading instruments of varying accuracy and from which these averages of averages are calculated.
The result is numbers, not data.
Net-zero common sense for decades. And all because the earth has supposedly warmed 0.8 deg C since 1860 when records began at the low point after a little ice age.
To physicists, that’s an increase of 0.3% from 288 to 288.8 degrees Kelvin. Meanwhile the difference in average temperature between London and Manchester is 1.2 deg C. Go figure.
A simpleton’s yarn debunked over a decade ago by a Nobel Physics Laureate…

“…In this talk I will explain why I became concerned about the climate, and terrified by the one-sided propaganda in the media, In particular I am worried about all the money wasted on alternate energies, when so many children in the world go hungry to bed.”
Twelve years on, the Climate Theatre of the Absurd just runs and runs.
Thanks for the link.
Climate activists are average people
No, I think most of us would consider them below average retards if there answer to a lack of wind generation is just to build more of it. 1 + 1 still only equals 1 when it is the percentage of output from your windmills.
Energy, supply and demand.
The article covers comprehensively the supply end, or lack of it, but leaves out the zooming demand. According to the (fake) statistics, the population of Greater London in 2024 was 9,748,000, 1% more than 2023. Nevertheless, going by measurements of water consumption and sewage production, the real figure is close to 12m. And this is the curious thing. The NetZeroist fanatics also support enthusiastically open borders, ignoring the fact that increasing population levels lead to huge greenhouse gas emissions.
Friends of the Earth’s Tony Bosworth said, “We have an abundance of natural resources like wind and solar,” he says. “They’ll go on forever, and we won’t be reliant on expensive gas and oil.”
Bosworth ought to be sent, along with the Just Stop Oil filth who have just desecrated the grave of Charles Darwin, to Texas, to be instructed by the Texans about what happened to their wind & solar during the terrible “Polar Vortex” Blizzards in 2021. The wind turbines froze solid, the solar panels were covered with snow, and the people froze to death.
“The Texas Winter Storm And Power Outages Killed Hundreds More People Than The State Says”
“A BuzzFeed News analysis shows the catastrophic failure of Texas’s power grid in February killed hundreds of medically vulnerable people.”
“The true number of people killed by the disastrous winter storm and power outages that devastated Texas in February is likely four or five times what the state has acknowledged so far. A BuzzFeed News data analysis reveals the hidden scale of a catastrophe that trapped millions of people in freezing darkness, cut off access to running water, and overwhelmed emergency services for days.”
“The state’s tally currently stands at 151 deaths. But by looking at how many more people died during and immediately after the storm than would have been expected — an established method that has been used to count the full toll of other disasters — we estimate that 700 people were killed by the storm during the week with the worst power outages.”
“This astonishing toll exposes the full consequence of officials’ neglect in preventing the power grid’s collapse despite repeated warnings of its vulnerability to cold weather, as well as the state’s failure to reckon with the magnitude of the crisis that followed.”
Texas’s Winter Storm Killed Hundreds More Than Reported
Until the mainstream media stop repeating the net zero lies, it will remain difficult to get the honest message such as this article, through.
