In the last two years there has been increasing evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus arrived across the world as the result of a laboratory leak. There has likewise been increasing evidence that neither masks nor lockdowns materially altered the transmission of the virus, and also that the vaccines (which are in truth a gene therapy product) have significant risks of side-effects. The number and nature of these remain unclear, but some very recent research even suggests that repeat vaccination increases the likelihood of major side-effects. Worse, there is no clear evidence that they decrease individual susceptibility. Thus the mantra of “safe and effective” is open to question. Added to this is the discovery from Freedom of Information requests that some of the trials were constructed and run in a questionable manner, and that vaccine manufacturers were careful to write into their supply contracts absolution from indemnity. Yet this week a new advertising campaign by the NHS is encouraging the U.K. public to get revaccinated against coronavirus.
The origin of the virus is of academic interest. Wherever it came from, it is with us and we have to live with that. The issue of management by isolation is of academic medical interest, though not of academic economic interest. It has become very clear that the processes of lockdown have been highly damaging and it seems likely that no proper analysis was done on what the effect on the national economy (and education, and mental health) might be. That the vaccines may cause significant problems has an explanation; they are designed to make the body create copies of the spike protein of the virus, which is the very part that causes the recorded issues of myocarditis, thrombosis etc. due to overstimulation of the immune system in the virally-induced syndrome commonly called COVID-19. The variability of effect between individuals, either with COVID-19 or a vaccine, may depend on genetic susceptibility. Other forms of hyperimmune syndrome, or cytokine storm (CSS), were well-known to be more common in certain ethnic groups long before SARS-CoV-2. Given the total absence of any research into who suffers vaccine complications and why, it is remarkable that politicians and managers are keen to plough on using them. It’s not as if such complications are denied; there is a compensation programme running, and the AstraZeneca vaccine was withdrawn because the complications were becoming unacceptably prevalent.
The recent book by Norman Fenton and Martin Neil, Fighting Goliath: Exposing the flawed science and statistics behind the COVID-19 event, has exposed numerous faults in differing aspects of testing and vaccination. But perhaps the most egregious flaw in vaccination has been to categorise subjects as unvaccinated until 14 days after receiving the vaccine. If, as appears highly probable, the major life-threatening side-effects of vaccines are due to CSS, this can develop within 48 hours. Indeed in the drug trial at Northwick Park Hospital, where what turned out to be a highly immunogenic preparation was injected into six subjects, the subjects developed symptoms in minutes rather than hours. Thus, in the analyses performed, a substantial number of people falling ill with COVID-19 type symptoms immediately following vaccination (which is as one would expect) will have been incorrectly labelled as unvaccinated, significantly distorting the risk-benefit conclusions of the trials and rendering them useless.
That said, does any of it matter? I am going to say – no, it does not. Let us go back to the beginning.
What happens when a person acquires the SARS-CoV-2 virus? Most will be ill. A bit ill on the spectrum of seriousness. They will have cold-like or flu-like symptoms, may lose their sense of smell or taste, but will not collapse into a state of respiratory failure, widespread thromboses, stroke and renal shutdown. These serious events (COVID-19 proper) are the result of a cytokine storm; the immune system goes into overdrive producing abnormal quantities of inflammatory chemicals. Only a small proportion of the population will suffer any of these serious symptoms. So for the vast majority who do not, and will get better fairly quickly, nothing needs doing. For that small proportion, however, it is critical that they are identified and treated. A series of blood tests and measurement of oxygen saturation do the former, while steroids and anti-cytokine treatments do the latter.
If you accept this analysis you will have to agree that almost all of the coronavirus pandemic measures were completely unnecessary. If you don’t, then I suggest you read the textbook on cytokine storm syndrome written by Cron and Behrens, which appeared in 2019, before Covid, or his review article from 2023. There you will find all manner of triggers, including viruses, and more specifically coronaviruses, and all the clinical consequences of CSS which are identical to those of COVID-19. There also you will find tests to be done, and treatments to be applied to those who get very ill. And guess what? In the main, if caught in time, they will get better.
This explanation is clinician-generated. I am not the only one who has come to this conclusion. And yet the pandemic management was conducted, not by clinicians, but by people with no clinical experience. Experts maybe, but the wrong experts. If you had a heart attack would you want to be treated by a plumber? He may know a lot about pipework, but it would be the wrong sort of pipework.
This was the gist of my 20 page submission to the Hallett Inquiry in November 2022. I had an acknowledgement of receipt, and since then nothing. This month I read a summary of Professor Sir Chris Whitty’s latest evidence and was thereby prompted to go to the inquiry website and see where my submission was filed. I could not find it. So I wrote to the contact address of the inquiry asking where it was, and when I would be called to give my evidence. Two weeks have passed and I have had no response.
The inquiry has spent and continues to spend vast sums of money barking up the wrong tree. It might, it is true, conclude that lockdowns did not work, that economic disruption should have been factored into the risk-benefit equation, but we know that already. It has concentrated on process and missed the essential point – that all that was necessary was for those who got very sick to be rapidly identified and correctly treated.
I remain puzzled as to why my analysis has been ignored. In fact (as readers of my blog will know) I outlined this strategy in May 2020. I pointed out that I had personally treated a case. It was ignored then. Had it been implemented – and I have no doubt that if the right experts had been consulted it would have been – many deaths would have been saved, there would not have been any lockdowns, no vaccination fiascos, no inquiry. If the Hallett Inquiry does not conclude this then it will have been a complete waste of money, not just a partial waste but, given the omission of any informed input and the exaggerated respect accorded to those interviewees who made the wrong decisions from the beginning, I fear a whitewash.
There is one upside to the Covid saga. Thanks to the internet, scientific papers have been subjected to far more intense scrutiny than in the past, and many have been found wanting; critics from across the globe explain failures in trial design, sidelining of potential confounding factors and inadequate statistical analysis. But it remains true that research contradicting “settled science” (an oxymoron if ever there was) remains under significant and often irresistible pressure for it to be retracted. Proper science should allow proper debate. If a settled scientist finds evidence of errors in the work of “deniers” those errors must be detailed. It’s not enough to shout “Rubbish!” An example: after one of my blogs suggesting every physician (and politician) should read Cron and Behrens I received a comment that I should not trust textbooks. I indicated I was pleased that someone had read that textbook, and asked for a quick summary of what was wrong with it. The reply came back that he had not seen it. I rest my case.

‘all that was necessary was for those who got very sick to be rapidly identified and correctly treated.’
And we have known this for a very long time….as a consequence of excellent research……that we already paid for…..
‘It is therefore arguable that in the case of infections like coronavirus or rhinovirus colds, which are normally quickly self-limited, the best approach would be to relieve the patient’s discomfort and disability and leave their immune system to take care of the virus.’
D.A.J.Tyrrell, Common Cold Unit, 1992
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/016635429290032Z
Oh for heaven’s sake!!
One of the benefits of this system is that it is quite easy to reproduce archives, but yes, the CCU seems to have come to a reasonable conclusion. A cynic might observe that it might have been different if their financial structure was different, though.
‘Why, will people ask, in this age of advanced science, do we appear to have got nowhere in combating this age-old affliction? The truth is that we have made enormous progress, although it has needed detailed research in many centres.
Knowing its causes, the mechanics of how it is caught and its variety of forms is a very significant advance.
But it is this variety which is at the heart of the problem.”
When the group found that there were about 100 different rhinovirus serotypes and that the body saw the “common cold virus” as 100 different viruses, they realised there was “no way you could start to discover a vaccine”,’
There are those who are not motivated by greed:
“I suppose when everyone else was running around looking at impact factors and this sort of thing, David was thinking about what this meant for the patients”, said Jonathan Kerr, who worked with Tyrrell in the 1990s when his interests turned to chronic fatigue syndrome.
“That’s what motivated him and he was ultimately more successful for it.”
He also had a wonderful sense of humour, Kerr told The Lancet. One of his favourite poems, by A P Herbert, spoke of physicians’ knowledge of the common cold:
“And I will eat my only hat; if they know anything of that!”

Institutional memory is important, but for many reasons almost non-existent. One reason is that researchers and clinicians have a relatively short shelf life, which is why sometimes we geriatrics may have something useful to say.
Questions for the author:
1) Of the deaths classified in official statistics as “covid deaths”, how many were cytokine storm events?
2) Is it correct to assume that almost all “covid deaths” that were not cytokine storm induced were deaths that would have happened anyway at more or less the time they did – people who were already very ill and frail who happened to test positive or were pushed over the edge by “covid” but could equally have been pushed over the edge by a cold or flu?
3) Is it correct therefore to say that any excess mortality was down to a combination of (a) some extra deaths caused by the cytokine storm inducing nature of covid, which was perhaps greater than other things already circulating (b) wrong/neglectful treatment of the very ill and frail (ventilation, midazolam, sending ill people to care homes from hospital (c) “covid vaccines”
4) Is it correct to assume that everyone has now had “covid” at least once and maybe a few times, and those who are likely to die as a direct result of “covid” because of a genetic predisposition to cytokine storms have already been killed by it, so “covid” as something novel is over
“people who were already very ill and frail who happened to test positive or were pushed over the edge by “covid” but could equally have been pushed over the edge by a cold or flu”…..Or treatment? Another question I will ask is how common is the cytokine storm with flu and other cold viruses compared to ‘Covid’?
I had a sudden-onset autoimmune illness which was dangerous enough to require hospitalisation (now gone) after a period of being stressed, overworked and run down. Not sure what triggered it but the docs did say maybe a virus. I think they don’t know. So I am sure it happened in the past – maybe “covid” caused it more often (could be the bioweapon aspect).
It wasn’t some type of skin infection was it?
Nope. Polymyositis.
It occurs in many different infections, but as far as I know no-one has quantified this for discrete organisms.
It’s worth remembering that about 65% of all hospital patients were kicked out.
Many went to care homes where, due to restrictions their usual ‘advocates’, favoured care workers, children, friends were banished. Care was much reduced, they weren’t encouraged to drink. Many got UT infections, hospitals didn’t want them, they were sedated & died.
I’d be interested to know what proportion of 65,000 odd, hospital in-patients kicked out of hospital were subsequently recorded as covid deaths.
Author here.
One might note that severe sepsis has all the hallmarks of CSS, but there still seems to be a clinical aversion to giving steroids because “steroids worsen infections”. Wearing my other hat as a rehab specialist treating MS I saw numerous cases of sepsis and while one would always administer antibiotics, steroids were magical.
Thanks for this comprehensive response and for the article.
I wonder if it’s possible to get hold of casenotes from ICUs. I presume they would need to be anonymised to protect patient confidentiality. I can’t see such a study being given a welcome in the hillsides.
“as pathologists in the UK were instructed not to do them on people who died with positive PCR tests”
How convenient, I also read that they got rid of the Shipman clause so a death can just get signed off by one Dr.
Registrars were told to record all deaths as covid at the start so this contaminates the data.
do we know what justified this decision? Always seemed fishy to me, but I’d guess they’d say it was to slow infection or something?
I suspect that the pathology PM issue was to try and limit transmission, with over-cautious types worrying you could catch it from a corpse. Ascribing all deaths to Covid was a convenient time-saver.
Very convenient indeed! The ‘you aren’t vaccinated until 14 days after being jabbed’ was another statistical sleight of hand that was very useful as well… depending on how many people were impacted
Thanks for article by the way! It seems to me pathologists are the types who’d put themselves AT some risk, to scientifically determine some accurate cause data to improve understanding, they could wrap up in all the right bunny suits etc as needed in a professional setting… yet didn’t… hmmmm
Dear Dr Bamji,
thanks for your informative and interesting article. A really good summary of what happened. It’s a pity more ideas like this were not openly discussed and thought about.
Thanks
Covid and SARS-CoV-2 were blown out of all proportion for nefarious means of control by the Global Elite who run the world behind the scenes.
There is one statistic that shows Covid was nothing out of the ordinary.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) the average age of people dying of or with Covid in the UK was 83 years old which is a slightly higher age than before Covid was even invented.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/averageageofthosewhohaddiedwithcovid19
The only time I heard that quoted in the MSM was by the pub landlord at the Raven pub in Bath to SStarmer who would not listen despite being HM opposition.
“Catch covid and live longer”.
B. Johnson a few years sgo.
One of the few sensible things he’s ever said.
A thorough statistical analysis of mortality data (only all-cause mortality, ignoring supposed ‘Covid’ mortality) from 125 countries concluded there was no viral pandemic:
Large differences in excess all-cause mortality rate (by population) and in age-and-health-status-adjusted (P-score) mortality are incompatible with a viral pandemic spread hypothesis and are strongly associated with the combination (product) of share of population that is elderly (60+ years) and share of population living in poverty.
We describe plausible mechanisms and argue that the three primary causes of death associated with the excess all-cause mortality during (and after) the Covid period are:
Biological (including psychological) stress from mandates such as lockdowns and associated socio-economic structural changes;
Non-COVID-19-vaccine medical interventions such as mechanical ventilators and drugs (including denial of treatment with antibiotics);
COVID-19 vaccine injection rollouts, including repeated rollouts on the same populations.
We understand the Covid-period mortality catastrophe to be precisely what happens when governments cause global disruptions and assaults against populations. We emphasize the importance of biological stress from sudden and profound structural societal changes and of medical assaults (including denial of treatment for bacterial pneumonias, repeated vaccine injections, etc.).
CONCLUSION
We are compelled to state that the public health establishment and its agents fundamentally caused all the excess mortality in the Covid period, via assaults on populations, harmful medical interventions and COVID-19 vaccine rollouts.
We conclude that nothing special would have occurred in terms of mortality had a pandemic not been declared and had the declaration not been acted upon.
See: https://denisrancourt.ca/entries.php?id=139&name=2024_07_19_spatiotemporal_variation_of_excess_all_cause_mortality_in_the_world_125_countries_during_the_covid_period_2020_2023_regarding_socio_economic_factors_and_public_health_and_medical_interventions.
Thanks for this. I note:
We also calculate the population-wide risk of death per injection (vDFR) by dose number (1st dose, 2nd dose, boosters) (actually, by time period), and by age (in a subset of European countries). Using the median value of all-ages vDFR for 2021-2022 for the 78 countries with sufficient data gives an estimated projected global all-ages excess mortality associated with the COVID-19 vaccine rollouts up to 30 December 2022: 16.9 million COVID-19-vaccine-associated deaths.
16.9 million deaths due to the frankenjabs. God help us.
Plus 14 million from mistreatments – up to the end of 2023.
And furthermore:
‘In conclusion, excess mortality has remained high in the Western World for three consecutive years, despite the implementation of COVID-19 containment measures and COVID-19 vaccines.
This is unprecedented and raises serious concerns.
During the pandemic, it was emphasised by politicians and the media on a daily basis that every COVID-19 death mattered and every life deserved protection through containment measures and COVID-19 vaccines.
In the aftermath of the pandemic, the same morale should apply.
Every death needs to be acknowledged and accounted for, irrespective of its origin.
Transparency towards potential lethal drivers is warranted.
Cause-specific mortality data therefore need to be made available to allow more detailed, direct and robust analyses to determine the underlying contributors.
Postmortem examinations need to be facilitated to allot the exact reason for death.
Government leaders and policymakers need to thoroughly investigate underlying causes of persistent excess mortality and evaluate their health crisis policies.’

“including denial of treatment for bacterial pneumonias”
That is a point even people on here forget.
Why was this doctor ignored?
Because Covid was a vital part of the process to impose Agenda 2030 and The Great Reset
It didn’t work.
It worked to the extent that the vast majority of the population have been shown to be totally compliant unthinking sheep!
Not that the PTB would ever take advantage of that knowledge of course, heaven forbid!
But Agenda 2030 is well underway
I tend towards cock-up rather than conspiracy! but I have no evidence either way, so it’s possible.
Why did Whitty and Vallance suddenly change tack? I don’t necessarily think everything Mike Yeadon says is accurate or makes sense, but I find compelling his point that Whitty, Vallance and others had studied the same things he had, and knew what he knew, and can’t possibly have believed a lot of what they said publicly.
The Vicar of Bray refers:
https://www.berkshirehistory.com/legends/vicarofbray_bal.html
Absolutely. It’s really down to having taken the King’s shilling at which point you’ve demonstrated that your mind has been bought.
“If you accept this analysis you will have to agree that almost all of the coronavirus pandemic measures were completely unnecessary…. and treatments to be applied to those who get very ill. And guess what? In the main, if caught in time, they will get better.”
I’ve often wondered whether Boris Johnson was aware of this and whether appropriate treatment could have saved him from the pain and trauma he experienced.
I’m glad this topic’s been raised again, as I saw this article recently:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/conditions/heart-health/covid-heart-attacks/
Check out the last two paragraphs in particular:
“Having the vaccine is like driving down the motorway within the speed limit with your seatbelt on: reasonably safe but there remains a small risk you could have an accident because of an error or a fault,” she explains.
“Not having the vaccine is like driving at over 100mph down the motorway without a seat belt in heavy rain: there is a high risk of accident and life-threatening injury to you, your family travelling with you and everyone around you. Get the jab – look after yourself and all of us.”
I’m confused.
Was Boris really ill or was that one big PsyOp!
The only person in medical history to have ever walked into an ICU….
And, by all accounts, was walking about the day after he left….
It was amusing to learn he was ‘released’ on Easter Sunday too!
IMO a psyOp and it was successful beyond their wildest dreams, fortunately I’m sceptical about anything the government has to say on any topic.
Anyone that is not sceptical at this stage has not been paying attention.
Boris got steroids, I believe. He might well have died otherwise. You are right to be confused; if my hypothesis is correct then cardiac damage, if due to the spike protein, is just as likely to occur post-vaccination as well as from Covid itself. In any case the evidence that vaccination suppressed transmission does not exist; neither did it stop you getting infected; all my family were fully vaccinated and all git it. As for infection-induced thrombosis Prof Gibbins clearly hasn’t read Cron and Behrens. It’s well documented.
Mr Johnson might very well have died.
Many clinically obese people do die from the common cold.
It is more dangerous, of course, than influenza to the elderly or infirm:

A very interesting perspective on identifying and treating the seriously ill and at risk patients. I wonder how he views the well-documented value of Vit D and ivermectin in protecting the population at large.
They might. No good evidence that they stop you acquiring the virus; some evidence that they stop you getting the severe illness of Covid-19
Ivermectin at 400mcg/kg cleared my Covid symptoms in less than 24 hours. I was amazed.
Good for you – its highly suspicious that TPTB banned Ivermectin. I tried to buy some as an precaution but was unable to in the UK so I dosed up with Vit D and K2 along with Vit C and Zinc – worked a treat as neither of us became ill.
HQC was the same, not available in Boots pharmacy
I am not amazed, but heaven knows how it works. When the trial of ivermectin was first published I expected the establishment to heave a brief sigh of relief and then decide that the trial needed repeating on a large population. This because of the principle that one swallow doesn’t make a summer. I have seen numerous trial conclusions overturned by repeat testing. With HCQ the hysterical attacks were likewise odd, with a concentration on the incidence of severe side-effects that were probably due to excessive doses being used. Instead we got aggressive attacks and ivermectin denial! During the pandemic our local agricultural suppliers sold ivermectin by the bucketful (we are a locality full of sheep) but a repeat of the panic will be a problem as it closed a few months ago…
“many deaths would have been saved, there would not have been any lockdowns, no vaccination fiascos, no inquiry”
You are being naive mate, as many have probably mentioned; all kudos to you but ‘they’ TPTB wanted it this way. Event 201.
Have to disagree. Headless chickens don’t run clever conspiracies. I fear that those in charge were simply ignorant. And what do people do when their ignorance or folly is exposed? Try to cover it up Think Russia and MH 17. While interestingly when Iran accidentally shot down another airliner they fessed up.
We could have never ending examples to throw back at each other: 911 with Building 7 pancaking from just an office fire on one side, or the Pentagon etc. As for Covid and the ‘countermeasures’, that seemed to come from the DOD and CIA etc. Check out the work of Dr Dave Martin the patent expert.
And what do you make of the timescale in 2020 when you consider blood & stool samples that point to around late summer in 2019 when C19 is said to be already circulating? That April death spike is in line with the NG163 Pathways protocols.
A cover up is a conspiracy. Do you really think Farrar was in “headless chicken” mode?
We all make mistakes and panic. Been there, done that in a clinical setting.
An initial “panic” is barely plausible, but this “panic” has lasted until now. I’ve not seen much in the way of recognition that what was done was very wrong from those responsible. You have come to certain conclusions which you set out in your article – do you really think that senior public health officials have not come to those same conclusions? They have access to the same information, knowledge and intelligence that you do.
The question you should be asking is not what the headless chickens were doing but what were the people pushing their buttons doing? The whole COVID debâcle was driven by mad ex-military types who wanted 60 day treatments for any pathogen.
Read Paula Jardine’s articles on this at The Conservative Woman website. 20 years in the making.
What always concerned me was the absence of clinicians on SAGE. The treatment of illnesses and diseases should be managed by clinicians, not epidemiologists, scientists or statisticians. I am retired. I offered my services. I heard nothing. True scientists should have said “here’s someone who seems to know what he’s talking about; we should get him involved”. Or maybe I am being arrogant.
To be honest, I still don’t know what to make of this Covid thingy.
Nearly everybody I know caught it.
Nobody I personally know suffered badly.
I only had a sore throat for about a week.
My wife had flu-like symptoms but battled on as normal.
Our daughter had no symptoms other than temporarily losing her sense of taste.
Our son never had it.
My mum (84) had a slight fever for a few days.
That’s about it.
Weird thing.
Nearly everyone I know told me they had “covid” based on sticking a piece of Chinese mass produced plastic up their nose. None of them were “ill” in any significant sense, to my knowledge.
Me and Mrs ToF have had some cold and flu like illnesses in the last 4 years, indistinguishable from illnesses we have had from time to time throughout our lives. Whether any of them were “covid” – I have no idea and don’t really care. No Chinese plastic sticks in our house.
I don’t know; the Chinese plastic sticks definitely detected something and with other colds we had before and after they showed nothing.
Could have been coincidence. The sticks were one of the array of mechanisms used to cement the illusion of a deadly pandemic. I don’t understand what real world medical significance or use they could possibly be.
Look, I’m a sceptic. I don’t trust the government. I don’t trust the media. I think the Covid pandemic response was deeply flawed; the vaccines didn’t make much difference whist having dangerous side effects, the lockdowns were an outrageous overreach of state power and vaccine mandates were a completely totalitarian measure.
But I am not a conspiracy theorist. I saw the lateral flow tests detect something consistently with my family and friends and then show a negative response with other colds. The statistical probability of that being just a coincidence is extremely low.
That’s all I’m saying, nothing more.
If you disagree, that’s OK too, I’m not trying to convince anybody, just reporting my own conclusions.
So it was sometimes positive, sometimes negative. Not sure what that proves or tells us. Sounds random to me. If “covid” had symptoms that could be identified and fairly consistently distinguished from “other colds”, and the tests positive or negative corresponded with the presence or otherwise of those more “covid like” set of symptoms, that would suggest that the tests could detect the presence of a virus as opposed to another one – but that doesn’t seem to be what you are saying. Anyway, even if those tests did correspond with different symptoms, I am unclear as to their usefulness (other than making the Chinese lots of money). I believe the “consensus” is that there are lots of types of “coronavirus”, “rhinovirus” and “influenza” but outside of possibly some specific research projects, billions of tests carried out at home are not performed by people on themselves to confirm exactly which type of “cold” they may or may not have.
The list of “covid symptoms” published seems very long and vague – not sure how it can really help much. Anyone who becomes seriously ill would go to hospital and hopefully get the right treatment based on their specific symptoms and a set of accurate tests performed – or as the doctor describes they would be given the wrong treatment because of folly and evil and might die when they could have been saved. Having a “positive covid test” probably condemned many to die needlessly.
The PCR technique or method (not test) was invented by Kary Mullis. In layman terms (and I am definitely a layman) it “makes a lot of something out of a little”, i.e. it is a process to produce large amounts of biological stuff (pieces of DNA) out of a section of DNA.
As Kary Mullis clearly says (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHmVj3LTqrU), you can look to see if a human body has a specific string of molecules or piece of DNA you are looking for but that does not mean that you have a ‘whole’ virus or that that virus is responsible for your illness.
Here is the famous paper defining the test to be used for COVID-19 – https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.3.2000045 – which was highly criticized at the time, also leaving the specialist community confused as to how exactly to perform the required PCR ‘tests’: you may remember, for example, many discussions on the number of cycles to be used.
Cutting a long story short, practically all health systems world-wide performed these ‘tests’ on all patients entering hospital with any complaint and if you were tested positive, you were given WHO-specified experimental medications or put on ventilators or whatever, otherwise you were treated as in the past for whatever complaint it was decided you had.
If you look at the number of deaths in UK around March 2020 you will see they veritably explode after the WHO pandemic announcement. That was the result of the misapplication of the PCR method.
Stay away from PCR tests (lateral flow are no different)!
Kary Mullis died in August 2019, otherwise he would definitely have spoken out against the misapplication of his PCR technique during the so-called pandemic.
The more tests you do, the more “cases” you will find. Fenton and Neil’s book analyses this in detail. Also the PCR reliability was bedevilled by the dilution techniques used in analysis, where many labs were running cycles that would detect almost homeopathic amounts of antigen – which did not amount to having an infective agent on board, only a bit of one.
I got a bad case of Covid in November/December 2020. I’m a heating engineer, so worked right through all the Covid lockdowns. When I caught covid I was 54 and extremely fit and healthy. I would attend CrossFit classes 5 times a week and rarely got colds. I only had flu once in my life in my late teens. When I caught it, it hit me like a sledgehammer. Neither my wife nor my kids had even the slightest of symptoms, so it’s interesting to read that there is a small percentage of healthy people that are susceptible to it. I spent around 10 days getting progressively worse before calling an ambulance as I found I couldn’t breathe. The paramedics established that my oxygen levels were at around 85 and I was rushed to hospital. I spent 8 days on a Covid ward where a dose of steroids and antibiotics sorted me right out.
I have two young children (10 and 8) and it infuriated me that their school shut at the drop of a hat when Covid arrived with no concern as to how that might affect children, both socially and educationally. I saw the mask mandate and the 2 metres rule for the bogus quackery they are. And I believe the reason prices of everything have gone through the roof is because multinationals are clawing back losses made due to lockdowns, and foresaw this at the time. Contracting Covid didn’t change my opinion on any of this, if anything it reaffirmed my belief that the vulnerable should have been looked after while society carried on as normal.
Yep, this is something quite interesting that I have heard from many people.
Very healthy people got it really bad.
Far less healthy people got away lightly.
I’m mildly asthmatic and only moderately fit (ahem, I couldn’t run half a mile if my life depended on it). And yet you ended up in hospital and I just had a sore throat for a week.
Worth reading Honigsbaum’s account of the 1918 flu pandemic, where the same thing was observed.
Thanks for sharing – I got ‘something’ at the end of nov 2019, caught I think off a contact who’d been to China, and had a bad cold on returning. Knocked me out for a week or so, just like flu does.
Not sure on your multinational theory – multinationals did VERY well out of covid, it was the small to medium enterprises who were hit badly. Prices have gone through the roof as we printed ~£500 billion, to add to the approx. £1.6tn already out there, naturally devaluing it massively (through inflation). Issuing monies for no ‘work’ or assets will always have that effect over time.
Yes, thanks for pointing out that many multinationals did well out of covid. I think what I really meant was those huge organisations that control the supply and manufacture of base materials, from oil to steel to plaster and cement. There were oil tankers sitting out at sea with nowhere to dock. Crude oil went down to -$ per barrel. Furnaces were shut down, and in some cases were shut down for the first time ever. I work in the construction industry and I remember plasterers being unable to get plaster, even months after everywhere opened up again, simply because the furnaces at the only plaster maker in Europe, which is in France, take weeks to get up to temperature. Boilers went up from around £800 for a good quality Vaillant or Worcester up to around £1200 almost overnight. Those in retail definitely did well out of covid, but those involved in manufacturing and the supply of raw or base materials pretty much shut down.
Quite right. The Great Barrington Declaration made this very point. But even experienced medics panicked. I did, and obeyed the lockdown rules at first… if, Pete, you had possessed a pulse oximeter, you would have gone to hospital much earlier as a saturation of 91% is considered the at-risk level. But at least you got the steroids! They were recommended by November 2020.
I’m sorry to inform you that although you are correct in every aspect of your article (and it was good) “they” are not interested in you or your correct analysis – why? Because the system is so corrupted by big Pharma money that all they are interested in is their big fat bank accounts and covering their own backs. Again sorry but it’s true.
Exactly – there is no money in truth sadly
You may be correct but I couldn’t possibly comment
Yes.
I do get the impression that people are waking up to this.
Had conversations with 2 strangers (am at the Battle of Ideas) and both said to me that they wished they had not gone along with it.
For me there lays the crux of the matter. If enough people decide not to go along with nonsense it will stop soon enough.
Backbone is required.
At the beginning of this ‘plandemic’ Professor Delores Cahill warned about the dangers of this vaccine and I am grateful I listened to what she had to say.
She also mentioned cytokine storm, she was the first who made me aware of it.
She did too and its noticeable how she seems to have ‘disappeared’! In Germany they have imprisoned Reinhold Fuellmich on some trumped up charge!
And not forgetting the three African leaders who died around 2020/21. and were all against the Covid fascism.
The SAGE Committee of Experts appeared to adopt a policy that despite the fact that Covid 19 is a member of a well known class of viruses, it would be treated as though this was a totally new virus whose properties could not be assumed on the basis that it was a Covid virus. This allowed latitude to impose all sorts of stringent impositions on the basis of no evidence at all.
Here’s a conspiracy theory: suppose the virus was genetically created through gain-of-function research. Where doesn’t matter. But it got accidentally released, and its creators had no idea how dangerous it might be. They couldn’t admit it was down to them, so they covered up in their panic that it might be very, very dangerous. Once it transpired that it wasn’t, it was too late to confess their original sin of creating it in the first place.
