Why Elon Musk Shouldn’t be Expelled From the Royal Society

by Toby Young
5 December 2024 11:00 AM

In my latest Spectator column, I take aim at Dorothy Bishop, an Oxford professor, who has resigned from the Royal Society because it has refused to expel Elon Musk, whom she regards as beyond the pale because of his views on climate change, among other things. I point out that if challenging the prevailing scientific orthodoxy in a particular field is a reason to expel someone from the Royal Society, that would mean having to retrospectively cancel Sir Isaac Newton, who was the Society’s President from 1703 to 1727. Here’s how it begins:

In a notorious interview in the Sunday Times in 2007, the Nobel Prize-winning geneticist James Watson said, among other things, that aborting babies with gay genes was “common sense” and that “all our social policies are based on the fact that their [blacks] intelligence is the same as ours [whites] – whereas all the testing says not really”. He also defended the explanation offered by Larry Summers of why there are fewer female professors in Stem subjects than male – there are more men at the right-hand tail of the IQ distribution curve. It caused such a furore that Watson was forced to cancel a forthcoming book tour, Nature ran an editorial saying his remarks were “beyond the pale” and the trustees of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory suspended him from administrative duties, forcing him to retire shortly afterwards. Yet at no point did anyone suggest he should be expelled from the Royal Society.

Contrast Watson’s treatment with that of Elon Musk. In August, 74 fellows wrote to the institution asking whether the owner of X was a “fit and proper person” to be a member of the society – a distinction he’s enjoyed since being elected in 2018 – for his technological achievements in space travel and electric cars. The president consulted m’learned friends and was told that Musk wasn’t in breach of the society’s code of conduct – an important consideration, since if he’s excluded because of his political views he might be able to sue for discrimination under the Equality Act. When this advice was communicated to the fellowship, there was a good deal of grumbling, intensified when Donald Trump won the US presidential election and announced he would appoint Musk as co-director of the Department of Government Efficiency.

The discontent came to a head last week when Dorothy Bishop, an Oxford professor and one of the signatories of the original letter, wrote a blog post announcing her resignation from the society. After cataloguing Musk’s sins – “promoting vaccine hesitation”, “downplaying the climate emergency” and “spreading deep fakes and misinformation” – she said she could no longer comply with the code of conduct, which required her to ‘treat all individuals in the scientific enterprise collegially and with courtesy’, and that she did not wish to be associated with “someone who appears to be modelling himself on a Bond villain”.

Bishop’s resignation has prompted the president to look again at whether Musk can be got rid of. But in the society’s 364-year history, only two fellows have been expelled, one in 1709 for not paying his dues, and one in 1775 for embezzlement. If Musk was kicked out for his controversial views, why not Watson, who is still alive? Indeed, if failing to treat fellow members “collegially and with courtesy” is a breach of the rules, shouldn’t the other 73 signatories of the letter be given their marching orders? In 2020, Francis Collins, a fellow of the society and then head of the National Institutes of Health, called for a swift “takedown” of the Great Barrington Declaration. The three original signatories included Sunetra Gupta, the recipient of the Royal Society’s Rosalind Franklin Award. Not exactly collegial behaviour. Wouldn’t he have to go, too?

A good article, but I beg to differ about your proposed sequence of various aspects in future editions. An aspect that has been avoided as much as possible is the risk of injuries actually caused by it, compared with any alleged benefit. This issue has made the headlines elsewhere recently, e.g. on GBN which has been doggedly reporting on it.

No shortage of output from other sources, even on YT, to do with varying policies in other nations. No comment on the activities of other social media channels!

There has certainly been a deliberate attempt to avoid expressing the whole truth to the general public, but some of us are glad to have said “No – at least not yet….” when considering the balance between risk and benefit from such a product, given the state of development that it was in. As it is now, I’m even less likely to use it, and will not advise anyone else to do so either.

Just read it and as a non-medical person tried to get my head around all the information. I’m just wondering if the spike protein crossing the blood/brain barrier might be a future cause of dementia?

Anyone know?

I’m so relieved I made the decision at the outset not to have one of these experimental jabs. Nothing will get me to submit now.

The pathology report presented is in the case of a man who due to the post mortem was given cause of death a ‘vaccine mRNA spike protein induced dementia’.

We need to all try and understand that Doctors can make virtually any illness, (pneumonia, colds, Sepsis and chronic respiratory illnesses are the main ones) into Covid, at will and when it benefits them. This is a pandemic of misdiagnosis by the medical profession around the globe.
They are in unconscious collusion to maintain Covid as a public health threat purely because the alternative is admitting they went collectively insane over a cold, almost destroyed the economy and inadvertently killed possibly millions in their madness and that can NEVER happen.
By unconscious collusion I mean that they, as a group, have been affected by a group Mass Psychosis outbreak (which went on to infect the scientists, politicians, media and then the public) and, with the aid of confirmation bias, have convinced themselves that they have just defeated the new Black Death when the data shows that this is an illness treated and cured with a Lemsip.
Remember that all the cases, all the hospitalisations, all the serious cases, all the deaths, all depend upon listening to what comes out of the Doctors mouths.
The mistake being made is assuming that the Doctors are of sound mind when they make these claims but it must be understood that THEY themselves are suffering from a group psychological illness which makes all their statistics complete nonsense and not to be trusted,

It’s the bizarre contradictions, paradoxes and behaviour that emerge from a Mass Psychosis outbreak that force people to conclude that there MUST, somewhere, be some malevolent intention or intelligence behind it. However, the implausible conspiracy theories, unable to be proven, just gives these people a weapon to condemn the skeptics as tin foil hat wearers and flat earthers.
It’s doing more harm to the Covid skeptic cause than good.
As I’ve said before, this was not made in a lab, this is NOT a conspiracy this is just good old human psychology playing out.

There is one important element to consider… choice. Doctors, politicians, so-called experts, all had to make deliberate choices based on the information and knowledge available to them at the time.

The choice between what was in the Government Pandemic Plan which specifically said lockdowns and masks were of no benefit AND would be detrimental and should not be used – which was initially confirmed as the policy of choice – and to use the very things that would produce the worst outcome.

There was a deliberate choice to use the latter.

Coincidentally (?) every Government (save one) did exactly the same thing, at the same time using the same ‘science’ justification, the same phrases and slogans.

Doctors made a deliberate choice: A) do I uphold my ethical, moral, legal obligation to undertake no medical procedure without the patient’s informed consent, or B) do I take part in a Human clinical trial which has no protocol or ethical approval, and enroll my patients in it without their knowledge subjecting them to an experimental product about which I have no information of its safety or efficacy?

Almost the entire medical and nursing profession in all Countries opted for (B) supported by their professional bodies.

That IS the very definition of conspiracy. Without it there would have been a much larger disparity in policy and behaviour among individual Governments (who normally can’t agree with each other over the time of day), and individuals in professions who, driven by rivalries, frequently do the exact opposite of each other.

I don’t buy into the Mass Psychosis theory – it’s seductive, but I think it is easily explained by evil being done in the name of good – the most pernicious evil, and we need tribunals to bring a very large number of people to justice.

It’s both. This is all planned. Covid was the start of the implementation of an agenda which has long been in the planning.

It can be both mass psychosis and conspiracy theory at the same time. I agree that the medical profession around the world fell into a bout of mass psychosis, as described above, which still goes on today, though many are coming out of it now. However, covid with it’s drama and fearful headlines was the perfect opportunity to push certain globalist buttons and the New World Order had a field day promoting their “change leaders” like the WHO etc who will be the standard bearers of the Great Reset coming soon.

Yes, fashions come, and fashions go, but in some parts of the world, money talks as well. E.g. it could be that in some US states there is an insurance incentive to do that. It may also be that they have modified the rules for deciding what to write down without independent assessment. The late Dr. Harold Shipman (a sequential murderer in England a few years ago) would have had a field day as it is now – until they discovered that all his patients died (on paper) that way, of course.

In other words the “vaccines” don’t stop transmission or sickness in those “infected”
But, and entirely due to the above, they are excellent at enabling covid to continually mutate on an unprecedented scale.

The jabs don’t work – so everyone must be jabbed. Clown World.
Rinse and repeat.

The world is now well into its 3rd (arguably fourth) winter wave and covid shows no sign whatsoever of abating.

Where has herd immunity gone?
It went when the idiots in charge decided to jab everyone with a leaky vaccine.
And even worse, a very dangerous leaky vaccine.
All predicted years ago by Geert Vanden Bossche.
We can but hope his prediction of more deadly variants does not come to pass.

Oh, and if my memory is correct, the UKHSA/ONS stopped differentiating the vaxxed/unvaxxed on April 1st. How apt.

At the risk of being criticised for being repetitive, this is what the NHS leaflet issued to us in early 2021 said: “We do not yet know whether it will stop you from catching and passing on the virus”. A cynic might say that they have learned the answer. Reading between the lines in the said leaflet, they know perfectly well that it is actually an attempted mitigation drug for those infected, and perhaps it’s only classified as a “vaccine” as a result of tweaking the definition to use the term, plus the benefit of avoiding the usual expenses of new drug assessment protocols etc. Oh, and the granting of Emergency Use Authorisation was a bonus as well.

IMO they were very careful to put some caveats in places that people were less likely to read (or, at least, fully take in).

When the first couple of doses of vaccine were being given we’d already had months of talk about ‘reach herd immunity’ and politicians other ‘government influencers’ were full of ‘protect others’ and ‘only the selfish don’t get vaccinated’.

I watched Geert Vanden Bossche’s latest (and last?) video and it is well worth an hour of your time. It’s hard going in places for a non-medical person but he is clearly saying that the leaky jabs have destroyed the natural immunity of millions and continual use of them is driving virus mutations which the jabbed now have no ability to resist

Thank you for this. We do need to keep telling people about what is not being published even though there is nothing to share.

Many of us wondered if the high antibody levels in age groups would mean this winter not seeing the same surges as seen previously. However, what we are currently seeing is that the oldest age groups currently have the highest case rates by UKHSA data and the highest estimated case rates by ONS. (I am wary of their figures but the trends and comparisons between groups are probably useful).

The incidence rates in those aged under 18 started to go up in mid-August. It isn’t clear why this would be the case, other than ‘that’s what happened this time’.

Your point about the current vaccinees being more susceptible to infection is probably correct.

You are very right to be wary of any figures provided by the ONS – their latest report on face-mask wearing states that one-in-four Britons wear a face-mask when outdoors. This is wide of the actual evidence seen by anyone outdoors at the moment – the truth being closer to one-in-500!

Meanwhile research into therapeutics and antivirals moves forward at a slow pace and the procurement of products falls way short of the quantities of vaccines – Govuk – The UK government has secured a supply of 4.98 million patient courses of novel oral antivirals to treat COVID-19.
Could it be that not only the drug companies, but general practices too are enriched by the vaccination program.
I have just received my third or fourth text message from my GP asking me to get my vax. Sounds a bit desperate, to me.

It looks like the latest variants have evolved to evade the current crop of antibody based treatments (Evusheld and Bebtelovimab) — see https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.09.15.507787v3.full.pdf

Thanks for continuing to expose the problems we have with the available data. I agree with the 2 previous commentators’ points. However, we are wide awake regarding the so-called vaccines. Many still can’t get their head around the fact that the jabs are worse than useless due to the total corruption of our medical establishment.

The documentary film of “The Real Anthony Fauci” may help bring more people round to thinking critically about the jabs but your efforts remain vital.

A good article but I am not sure about this statement:

“Alas, Covid doesn’t care about the Government’s preoccupations and we find ourselves yet again at the start of a Covid wave, with increasing numbers infected and surely non-trivial numbers of hospitalisations to come.”

Of course for someone who is ill enough to be hospitalised, covid is not trivial, though it’s unclear how many people are hospitalised principally because of covid (that’s a stat which from the start has seemed like something you’d clearly want to know but of course it has been studiously avoided by TPTB). But societally, is covid significant? Not sure it ever was.

The “vaccines” as vaccines have failed utterly, not a surprise. They have succeeded, like most other covid measures, in shovelling lots of cash from the already poor and powerless to the already rich and powerful. They have also succeeded, to an extent which now seems to be shrinking, in covering up the scam that was the “covid pandemic” and providing an exit that saves face for the deceivers and the deceived alike. They have probably killed more people that they’ve saved. Most significantly they have prevented and continue to prevent any kind of pressure to take the only sensible course of action towards covid which was to look into preventative measures (diet, exercise, vitamins etc) and therapies (e.g. ivermectin) which has very probably caused immense, needless suffering and death.

There was a point right at the start where the full risks were unknown.

At that point governments worldwide were continuing to have flights coming in from Wuhan.

Bizarrely, at the point where the risks started to become a bit clearer (only really the vulnerable were at risk), governments decided to go into overdrive.

The whole episode is bizarre — little of it makes sense from a public health perspective.

Agreed.
A long career in medicine has taught me that disease states always require a multivariate analysis.
Any disease state is a product of pathogenic factors and host resistance, which in turn are a product of complex genetic and lifestyle factors.
Treatments have in turn allowed for these factors and avoided oversimplifying the prescription.
The medical profession has generally in the past been able to account for these variables.
Covid has seen the profession become blinkered to any complexity, considering only a single pathogen (dangerous virus), a single endpoint (risk of death from the virus), and a single treatment (“vaccine”).
As I have previously written, I find this approach morally reprehensible, and medically against all I have ever believed.
I can only conclude that the power of Big Pharma knows no bounds.

Why? We don’t do this for Colds and ‘flu. When will people get it through their brainwashed heads that CoVid is only a risk to a tiny proportion of the population who are at the end of their lives. Exercise, diet, vitamins, etc won’t do any good – many of them are bed-ridden and don’t eat!

My understanding is that a small number of people who were NOT at the end of their lives died from rather than with covid. And others became seriously ill, or ill enough to go to hospital. I certainly know personally at least one person in each of these categories. I don’t see why you wouldn’t put some effort into looking at treatments that alleviated this in part – probably a good investment to actually reduce pressure on healthcare. Didn’t they do that in India in some states? As far as I know, colds and flu don’t generally cause cytokine storms, and some unlucky people were probably made very ill or worse by covid in this way. The storm may be preventable/treatable.

As far as diet & lifestyle goes, I see nothing wrong with looking at what factors could make people more resistant to respiratory diseases generally, though I am wary now of anything dubbed a “public health” initiative.

Has the author tried an FOI.

It seems CDC in the US is similkarly refusing to release data on heart problems associated with vaccines.

Public authorities have no business keeping this data to themselves. All data they collect should be available unless it discloses personal data without consent, threatens national (homeland) security or (perhaps) if it touches on an imminent public policy change.

Why would our servants in government not release the information we need to hold them and their advisers to account. Why is there no Parliamentarian who is prepared to take up this issue. Surely they don’t all aspire to be bag carriers or the junior Minister for whatsits in the Ministry of Poor Administration.

I am bored bloody rigid with covid this that and the other, waves, variants, hospitalisations and all the other nonsense that the government manufactured.

We have an extremely serious and dangerous energy shortage that is being ignored, yes there is a lot of hot air (😀) but sod all action.

Apparently the world is heating up to gas mark eleven and in order to cool the planet down everything must be switched off, but after that the ideas cupboard is bare. Well, apart from shutting down free speech.

Thousands of immigrants are being delivered to our island daily and we simply shovel goods and resources on them.

Our economy is collapsing as I type with inflation growing faster than the next covid wave and Truss et al think the solution is to print more money. Wow, that’s bright.

The police forces of this country are an utter f##kin’ disgrace and are basically doing everything but what we pay them to do.

Our health service is a sick joke (😀) and concentrates on population reduction principally via killer snake oil, the progenitors of which should be facing capital punishment.

Our parliamentary system is an utter money pit and serves no purpose whatsoever – only itself.

Local councils are increasingly becoming mafia style kingdoms led by Al Capone wannabees such as Burnham in Manchester and Khan in London.

Financial services companies are re-writing the rule books to suit themselves.

And big tech are rapidly taking over nation states with only “thanks very much” from TPTB.

The world for most of us is on its arse and yet here at DS we are still fretting about damned covid.

Can we get a grip? Please?

The aspect of covid which needs stopping is all of the bioweapon injections. Detailed documentation to expose the lies, the fraud & the unlawful bullying & coercion is required to effect that.

Until those injections are stopped worldwide, then mankind as a species is in a very dangerous place. I posted in Round-up a couple of links to a post mortem pathologist’s paper. The subject died of bioweapon injection spike induced dementia. We have to protect the children from this democide. As there is now hard evidence that the spike protein, which these toxic injections programme the body to produce cause dementia, the higher level cortical skills of the injected will be harmed. Think how vulnerable someone with dementia is to manipulation & distraction. This is what we’re dealing with!!!

The other issues are all part of the same agenda. One world government & gulag level quality of life for the plebs.

You are defaulting to cock-up theory which is complete nonsense. This is the Reset as planned by the Davos Deviants and any reading of Agenda 2030 makes this clear.

The problems I have outlined are making things worse and governments worldwide are colluding in order to keep making things worse. All part of the Reset. Assuming covid is the problem simply meets the requirements of their playbook. We need to move on and deal with NOW. Unless we get a grip and until we take back control we will never be in a position to take our revenge.

Never forget. Never forgive.

‘… Way back then the vaccine appeared to have had a positive impact on cases, hospitalisations and deaths…’

Nothing to do with the Gompertz curve trajectory taken by epidemics or seasonality… of course.

I suggest the world ‘appeared’ is very important in that sentence.

A terrific and long piece from the always excellent Iain Davis for UK Column which confirms the relative absurdity of banging on about Covid1984.

“Covid 19 was a test of social responsibility. We performed well, jumping through all the required hoops on command, readying ourselves to receive our conditional rewards…”

Well worth a read.

I’d really appreciate it if one of the medical professionals commenting here could give us there opinion on whether the spike protein crossing the blood/brain barrier might be a possible cause of dementia in the future.

Thanks in advance
