BBC Medical Editor Fergus Walsh took it upon himself in the BBC article to attempt a rebuttal of Djokovic’s vaccine hesitancy, asking “What more does he want to know?”
It’s true – there are none so blind as those who will not see. Particularly if opening your eyes might cost you something – like your pay packet.
BBC = also now known as “the Enemy of truth”!
BBC news reports Neil Ferguson as a scientist, rather than the hoaxer she is.
Also a scientist, according to BBC Scotland News, is Greta Thunberg, who’s never in school.
It is a measure of the utter madness of our modern world that anybody should take seriously the outbursts of an autistic high school dropout.
Correct.
She is spouting mediaevalist drivel and condemns the industrial revolution, she is a doom goblin.
I try not to slag her off too much, she obviously has a lot of problems!
When all you can say is ‘Damn, I wish I’d thought of that’.
Very very funny!
New U.K. Lab Report sent to Police confirms huge amounts of Graphene Nano in all Covid-19 Vaccines
https://www.bitchute.com/video/pfSyHRCIDxFG/
Police report link here = PDF download http://ukcitizen2021.org/
Further information:
Official U.K. Lab Report confirms Covid-19 Vaccines definitely contain Graphene Oxide
https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/02/13/uk-lab-confirms-graphene-in-covid-vaccines/
As informative as this document is (It’s not a “Police Report”) it has a very long way to go so don’t get your hopes up.
Assuming the phials were legally seized in the first place, and the police act on them, they need to commission an ‘independent’ laboratory to replicate the results.
There is obviously the ‘right to reply’ by the manufacturers and on a subject as technical as this, with new technology, there are going to be reasons for the inclusion of at least some of the items found.
What needs to be remembered is that the manufacturers are well aware the ‘vaccinations’ could be, and were likely to be, analysed by curious individuals which would suggest incompetence rather than malicious intent if these particles are considered dangerous.
I’m as convinced as you are that these drugs are dangerous but I’m not convinced the discovery of undeclared components is enough to secure a conviction of anyone.
The establishment look after their own, can’t see any chance of public officials being held to account. These people certainly aren’t stupid and usually make sure there is no legal repercussions for themselves, big pharma have certainly passed the buck, and to be fair do include an insert warning of possible effects of taking their product.
NO the manufacturers are murdering criminal filth as has been PROVEN by the hot lots causing excessive death and the methodical way the manufacturers took turns in releasong bad muderous batches and the nanochips and graphene and all the dead and maimed victims of these evil people. This is no accident. Also it explains clearly how they obtained the vials so you clearly have not read the document. Youve been flagged up as a disingenuous operator before. Another red mark on you.
Yes …some of us have known this for a year!
Yeah, I got sick shouting about that in June 2020.
The world`s No 1 tennis player and perhaps the healthiest too.
Bring on the Alternative World Championships “Vax Free”!
Good idea.
A list of cafes, bars, pubs, clubs, libraries, swimming pools, sports places, taxi firms, shops, and other establishments and services that are either completely spike-free or aimed mostly at spike-free customers would be useful too.
The pubs could all be called “The idiot’s Arms”
I think most of us know which arms belong to idiots.
…and you would be free not to enter if you felt unsafe. Bless. That’s the point of freedom- you don’t have to do something.
It may well turn out that Djok and a few other unjabbed pros are the only elite players still able to complete a long match, if only he/they can stay fit for a few more years…
BBC Medical Editor Fergus Walsh took it upon himself in the BBC article to attempt a rebuttal of Djokovic’s vaccine hesitancy, asking “What more does he want to know?”
Typical arrogant and ignorant reporting from the BBC.
In fact, there probably isn’t much more that he needs to know than what is already known: the vaccines are neither safe nor effective. The more properly informed people are about them, the more will decline them.
That’s why anyone telling the truth about them gets demonized and is silenced, because they (quite properly) increase ‘vaccine hesitancy’.
You cant have an effective vaccine against something that has never been proven to exist. Theyre not vaccines – they are genetic and graphene bioweapons.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/GUkkY2skhKyU/
The BBC is making a false argument. It doesn’t matter whether the vaccines are safe and effective – Djokovic still has the right not to want to take them.
Djokovic is not anti-vax, he simply believes, in the words of Bret Weinstein: “Not this disease, not these vaccines, not these health authorities.“
That’s a different point. If you listen to the interview you’ll hear that he is asked whether he might in future change his mind based on further information. Djokovic states that he has an open mind on the matter.
It is really this that Walsh is addressing, and what we see is the kind of arrogance from an ignorant journalist who wonders what more information could come to light since billions of doses have been given? He’s incapable, it seems, of understanding that there can be medium to long term harm, which billions of shots will not have manifested as yet. He’s forgotten the lessons of smoking, asbestos, coal mining, farmers lung and all the rest of it, where it takes years to manifest. And there is the short term harm that the BBC is lying as hard as it can to deny.
Anyone who cares to look will see the evidence that these ‘vaccines’ are dangerous to an unprecedented degree even in the short term, but BBC journalists have obviously been instructed to look the other way, and tell atrocious lies. As they do on climate change, and so many other issues.
What the BBC’s Fergus the Bogeyman doesn’t seem to have absorbed yet is that large swathes of the medical establishment (however tardily) have concluded that ‘omicron is the vaccine that we should have had earlier’.
The reason he hasn’t absorbed this is it isn’t true.
But he is scientifically illiterate. How come he lands a job like this one?
A quote from his Wikipoop page may be in order:
He’s a “help public understanding” kind of guy. I believe there are other ways of saying that.
Because the BBC doesn’t want a literate scientist in the role – he can’t as easily be manipulated into talking drivel like Walsh.
“(Y)ou’ll hear that he is asked whether he might in future change his mind based on further information. Djokovic states that he has an open mind on the matter.”
He should have asked Fergus Walsh the same question. And he may have done so, for all we know.
I won’t be surprised if next time he does a big exclusive interview he’ll go elsewhere than the BBC.
@Rick – You’ve got it wrong. Of course Novak Djokovic has the right not to accept a spiking. So do you. So do I. That’s what the BBC are saying is his main point. They are distracting from the point that this highly health-conscious man believes on the basis of a lot of knowledge and experience that the risk of being harmed by a spiking outweighs the possible benefits, and that this applies to at least the large majority of us.
Presumably, he has a medical education, then… so Where did Djokovic get his medical degree?
Djokovic has the best medical advice money can buy!
It’s not primarily a medical issue. Doh!
I believe it is the same establishment that Bill Gates got his medical degree from…
Please don’t feed the trolls!
Djokovic doesn’t need one, leek. That’s not that hard to see, surely.
The problem is Djokovic makes his stance public, so it is no longer a personal decision. It influences people like those on this site. The BBC is stupid for giving his opinions publicity.
So, is the BBC stupid for promoting the opinions of pro-jabbers? They influence people like you, no?
I recall the odious Blair creature having his picture taken getting (so he claimed) jabbed. So why is only one side permitted, in your totalitarian world, to influence others?
Don’t expect a reply. Totalitarians can’t understand the question.
Stop feeding the troll everyone!
Sorry – will comply with your suggestion.
Have a word with yourself: Djokovic was relentlessly pestered from the outset about his ‘status’. He told people that it was none of their business, but they would not leave him alone.
—————
You say:
Pray tell, exactly what type of people? And what type of person would you describe youreself as?
Don’t be ridiculous- he didn’t make his stance public, Hawke did when he ordered him deported for political reasons. He is defending his right to choose. Presumably then, you believe that the publicly funded BBC should only ‘give publicity’ to the ‘correct’ views on every subject? Or perhaps you could simply make your own mind up – regardless of Djokovic or anyone else? Surely you are not suggesting that people are so feeble minded that they could be influenced so easily? I’m joking, obvs…
Curse them for just occasionally allowing some free speech! How dare they publicise a person’s opinions! “Leek”, you’re a fascist.
It should influence them. He’s helping to save lives and avoid injuries.
Who could possibly down vote this post?
My big problem is why anyone any longer listens or watches the BBC and expects anything differenet ?
It’s like a masochistic addiction or an abberant form of Stockholm Syndrome.
Cure? Don’t do it! You will feel much better!
Once you have seen this, there is no way back. It’s screamingly obvious that the BBC is biased and full-on propaganda. However, many have been duped by the BBC and so can’t see it yet.
Let is hope the operative word is “Yet” .
Surely everyone has their own particular “so far and no further” turning point?
When “blind faith” finally collapses it is never restored and the longer people are duped the angrier they will be when they finally see the light.
That would be the mask wearing sheeple then.
Australia’s ABC used to enjoy a high reputation, not universally but fairly widely. Certainly, it was capable of asking questions and reporting news disliked by governments.
Over the last couple of decades it was subjected to a variety of disciplinary measures which saw the rise of the compliant and sycophantic and the departure of those regarded as “difficult”.
I now find it unwatchable – literally. It’s a government broadcasting service, not a public broadcasting service. Its performance in the last two years has been disgraceful – a gross dereliction of duty.
Problem is they dominate the airwaves. Unless you just like listening to music, that is all you have apart from TalkSport and some local stations where they talk current affairs; but many of them are local BBC stations too. It just means that I end up being angry whenever I turn on the radio whether at home or in the car.
You need to get a DAB radio and tune in to Talk Radio or GB News Radio.
Or better still just listen to your own music! When I got a new radio fitted in my car I didn’t even bother with the aerial.
Agreed- and while you’re at it stop reading newspapers. I haven’t watched or read the news for 20 years- highly recommended!
Fergus Walsh “took it upon himself”, lol. That’s a bit like Tony Blair “going to war”.
Those creeps who’ve never challenged a single thing in their whole pathetic pseudo-lives must have such broad shoulders to carry all the burdens they bear on behalf of all of us.
Long term safety data can not exist in short time! No matter how many jabs you deliver! That’s just not how time works…
quite. if I had the time I’d look back at the history of vaccines and find how long they took to fail (the ones that did)
the RSV vaccine started killing children after 2 years
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_syncytial_virus_vaccine
Perhaps a little bit of the BBC’s time-travelling Doctor Who has rubbed off on the villain known as “Walsh”.
They would have to be a black woman for a start!
Sports players are very big on legacy. Djokovic must know that his will be legendary – he has used his fame and status to highlight and push back against societal lunacy, criminality and totalitarianism. And that’s worth more than any sports trophy.
Got to respect someone who sticks to his principles.
Stop using the regimes words
They are not vaccines
True. But that is the word the BBC used all the way through the interview, so it has to be engaged at some level.
Then why not use inverted commas to register scepticism?
” These are not vaccines they are poisons” ( the late Luc Montagnier, virologist and former vaccine supremo in France, Nobel Laureate)
My preferred term is Clotshot. It leaves people in no doubt at all as to what I think of these experimental injections!
I still can’t decide whether the people working for BBC News (I will not call them journalists as they do not appear to have a clue what journalism actually is) are really as ignorant, misinformed, incurious and credulous as they come across, or whether they know what they are saying is rubbish but say it anyway out of some misguided belief in the “noble lie.” Either way, the BBC’s output is utterly worthless as a news source.
The million dollar question. I think it’s a combination of two things; the paranoid atmosphere within the institution, in which literally any question of the vaccines will be pounced on as anti-science, anti-vaxx, things Fergus Walsh cannot afford to be. This was created by cleverly poisoning the well of scepticism before the vaxx rollout. The other is stupidity. Have you ever met anyone that works for BBC News? – I have met several and I’m related to a few. They are of a very particular type; ‘successful’ (in terms of doing well at school, top of the class, good degree etc. Yet utterly compliant and unquestioning of authority (hence successful in education and career), arrogant and dim, very dim. So no need for a vast conspiracy, BBC employees will happily censor their own thoughts and investigations in order to remain in their job and please their superiors.
I think your analysis is almost certainly spot on. I know several people in the civil service who perfectly match your description. “Successful” in the sense of achieving what is expected of “successful” people but utterly compliant and unquestioning of authority. What blows my mind though is that these people still manage to be so misinformed on these so-called vaccines. We have had the data in for months now and they are still sticking to a narrative which is demonstrably false.
It is mind blowing. I need to keep checking myself for confirmation bias (I was after all, utterly opposed to these so-called vaccines long before they pretended to invent them) but the evidence is now incontrovertible – over 1000 peer reviewed studies showing harm, reporting systems giving off the same alarms in multiple jurisdictions, personal experience of adverse reactions amongst friends and family etc. There is no doubt left in my mind whatsoever that these devices are killing and maiming people and helping no-one. We’re witnessing a unique moment in history where the frailties of the human mind have been exploited for power and profit – in much the same that organised religion has done for thousands of years. There is clearly a capacity for human brains to trust authority over their own senses, otherwise there would never have been a single religious adherent. I suspect that when Christianity came to Europe, for instance, you and I and most people who comment here would have been the ones thinking “Nah. I’m not buying this” !
You’d be wrong, I am a Christian and I’ve spent even more time looking at the evidence for the truth of Christianity than I have looking at the evidence (or lack of) for the safety and efficacy of these so-called vaccines.
Do you know what, as soon as I’d typed that I regretted it. One of the things that’s happened to me over the past two years is that I find myself increasingly on the same side (if that’s what we can call it) as religious groups in this strange culture war. I was brought up Jewish and rejected my religion in early adulthood, preferring to see myself as a stone-cold materialist and pragmatist. Now, when I look at the utterly callous, corrupt and mendacious way that science conducts itself, I feel more affinity than ever with spiritual beliefs. So I’m sorry I said that, it was wrong, I was trying to highlight the way that authorities of various kinds have utilised the malleability of human minds to achieve their aims. Christianity was an inappropriate example.
The flip flop one would be more appropriate me thinks.
Sorry? I’m flip-flopping?
Many religious institutions (and I am thinking particularly of the CofE here as that’s the one I have experience of) are every bit as self-serving and hypocritical as the political establishment, with exactly the same type of people making it to the top jobs. Money and power are the CofE’s principal interests.
Just because a minority of scientists have behaved in the way they have (and a lot more have said nothing for fear of losing their jobs), that doesn’t make religion a good alternative.
‘Just because a minority of scientists have behaved in the way they have (and a lot more have said nothing for fear of losing their jobs), that doesn’t make religion a good alternative.’
Indeed. And it’s not a binary question really. Both can contribute to the human experience and both are susceptible to corruption and other human failings. But it’s the hubris of the scientific community I have found particularly disgusting these past two years, both the ones we are all familiar and my own personal exchanges with academics and scientists, which have been every bit as dogmatic as anything I’ve heard from religion.
All hierarchical groups of humans are susceptible, and prone, to corruption.
‘Science’ was financially hijacked by big pharma decades ago.
Just like the global MSM has been by national governments and Davos backed technocrats.
Speaking as both a Christian and a writer on science, I think one major difference between them now is that most sincere Christians recognise the shortcomings of their hierarchies, and indeed of themselves, but too many scientists (at least until Covid) buy into the myth of science as a pure pursuit detached from human frailty. The tendency is to despise the philosophy and sociology of science that would keep them humble about their profession.
It’s hard to gauge how my own profession of medicine is dealing with the revelations about Dr Fauci, the Lancet, the NEJM and so on: I suspect it’s so disillusioning that denialism will be the main result for a while to come.
In other words, Science™ has the same kind of corrupt role as The mediaeval Catholic church in Europe before the Reformation.
Great points. And yes denialism is the order of the day in thescienceland. I suspect it’s to do with compartmentalisation and over-specialism. Being focused on your one area of expertise sure can make you ignorant about the bigger picture. And it’s not as though the individual scientists involved in these diabolical schemes have done anything wrong or dishonest, rather they’re operating in a false paradigm; such as the one that states the world needs a vaccine for SARS Cov-2.
“Just because a minority of scientists have behaved in the way they have (and a lot more have said nothing for fear of losing their jobs), that doesn’t make religion a good alternative.”
Nobody is saying that. But what is true is that if God does not exist then there is nothing wrong in the misbehaviour of a minority of scientists or in the majority of politicians.
And just because Justin Welby is a bit of a plonker that doesn’t make the company of misbehaving scientists a better alternative to Church.
That depends on whether you think concepts of morality come from some superrnatural being and that atheists are all completely without principles (for which there is no evidence). The concept of human rights (and yes, that has gone too far in recent years, but is fine in principal) arose as the power of religion declined in the West: this is surely not a coincidence.
I wasn’t actually thinking of Welby (although I don’t disagree with you!) – from first-hand experience I have found the CofE to be unprincipled, self-serving, vindictictive, bullying, and with such vague policies that it’s usually impossible to hold anyone to account for anything. The whole organisation is utterly contemptible – it’s not just down to the people at the top. That’s not to say that there aren’t decent people within it, of course – there are – but the organisation itself is very much not decent.
“That depends on whether you think concepts of morality come from some supernatural being and that atheists are all completely without principles (for which there is no evidence). “
I am talking about the ontological status of morality. Of course an atheist can be moral, that’s not in dispute, but if God doesn’t exist then that morality exists subjectively as a matter of taste, because there really is no good or evil, right or wrong.
Here is the moral argument:
1. If God does not exist, objective moral values and duties do not exist.
2. Objective moral values and duties do exist.
3. Therefore, God exists.
The question one has to ask is whether any action can be wrong no matter what the rest of the world thinks? If yes then the second premise must hold. For example if you were to ask yourself whether torturing a child for fun can ever be said to be a morally good act I’m sure you’d say no – I doubt you’d say, “But that’s just my opinion”. You’d regard it as objectively wrong.
How we come to know what is morally wrong is a question for epistemology, but that’s not what I have been talking about.
It’s a totally false dichotomy. A category error. Doh!
Please explain.
Any system of thought can be perverted.
Perhaps, but I know a lot of Christians who don’t go to church. Please don’t confuse an institution like the C of E or the Catholic church with faith. Ayrton Senna was deeply religious but rarely attended church because, as he said. God is everywhere- I don’t need to go to a particular place to experience His love.
As Dimitri says in The Brothers Karamazov
” ‘But what will become of men then?’ I asked him, ‘without God and immortal life? All things are permitted then, they can do what they like?’ “
As W.L. Craig has said many times in defence of the Moral Ontological Argument, if God does not exist, then there really is no good or evil. There would be nothing wrong in torturing a child for the fun of it, it would be just a matter of taste.
So if God does not exist, then we can object to say, ‘vaccine’ mandates on the ground that they don’t work, but we can’t have any moral objection to them or even any moral objection to Johnson and the rest repeatedly lying, partying and feathering their nests at our expense.
I completely appreciate that argument, but to me, my morality feels as though it’s something I’ve cultivated or life has given me. This may or may not be true. I’m grappling with the meaning of everything, as you can probably tell!
If life has given you your morality, then it’s come to some extent from the morality of organized religion. If nothing else, it’s the source of respect for other human beings simply because they ARE human beings and for that reason alone have worth. Without the traditions of organized religion, the instinct is to divide human beings into merely useful allies or worthless enemies.
If you find that impossible to accept, just look at the things that have happened to human beings where organized religion has been explicitly rejected.
My father was not an eloquent man. He was Ukrainian, born in 1921, and barely spoke English. But one thing he was always clear on, from his experience of somehow surviving the Russian front all the way from Sept. 1939 to May 1945, was: “if men no havin’ religion, dey jus’ bloody animals.”
As I said earlier I’m sympathetic to this point of view, more than ever before in fact. But morality, if we’re gonna get a bit Darwinian, is also an emergent property of socialisation. It appears to be something that humans do naturally at times when they’re not struggling to survive. I might be wrong and the moral code could have been invented by my ancestors, but I’m loathe to accept that, I think we all know instinctively what’s right. Like I said, I’m currently grappling with this, until the year 2020, I’d never witnessed such depths of human depravity before!
The problem with moral codes which emerge solely as a result of socialization – rules we formulate because they make life better among our community – is that they tend to be just that. Customs which are imposed on individuals to protect and promote that community alone.
The bigger picture – that strangers, rival individuals and rival communities have their own worth and should be respected, their codes of conduct tolerated, simply because they are human beings too – to me that is something which requires a more spiritual point of view. Because it’s certainly not necessarily an advantageous viewpoint to hold from a utilitarian, social viewpoint.
As far as I can see from the form book, the idea of being tolerant and decent to strangers almost had to be beaten into people before they came to think that this was the default, instinctive way for humans to behave, and that you didn’t need religious morality to impose it. The reason I say that is that right the way from the earliest texts we have – Homer, the Old Testament, and so on – parables and sermons keep having to tell people that this is the way they should behave. If it were an inevitable, instinctive way of thinking, then I don’t believe that it would have needed to have been so relentlessly emphasized.
Dimwit Illogic for god botherers.
Thank you for your deep and beautifully expressed thoughts on the subject. I’ll need to reconsider everything I’ve ever studied and thought over so many years.
PS If God doesn’t exist who am I bothering?
What a handsome apology. Respect.
Listening to Delingpole on a podcast today, he’s not the only person who has come to take religion more seriously over the last two years because they have seen evil face to face for the first time. It does seem particularly hard to fit into the materialist-humanist worldview easily.
Not so to some of us it doesn’t! Corruption of science by powerful vested interests does not render science somehow invalid in principal.
If religion is allegedly so superior when it comes to morality, why have we not seen any religious leaders loudly protesting against the manifest lockdows and restrictions which they must know have caused massive harm to society and individuals? Why have they not been protesting about clotshot coercion (where they have said anything, it’s usually been in favour of clotshots)?
No one’s said anything about moral superiority, the question is whether morality can be grounded objectively.
That fact that Justin Welby shut the Churches for the first time since the reign of King John is reprehensible, but changes nothing as far as Christian doctrine goes. His silly utterances about the vaccines and climate change are simply that – silly.
We are ill-served these days by a Church hierarchy that prefers the Zeitgeist to the Holy Spirit.
The Orthodox Jews have! They put all their masks into a pile in the street in New York and burned them, Baruch HaShem!
Thanks I meant it. Upsetting Christians is definitely not what I want to be doing!
Sounds like pretty much every civil service type I have ever met. If you can think for yourself, you ain’t gonna make it in the public sector.
Kill the BBC by refusing to watch and listen – walk away- voting with your feet actually works!
I have not watched a single item of BBC news for two years and feel better informed and happier for it.
Dito
Same here although much longer than room years.
I visit the BBC website every morning to see what the enemy’s talking points for the day are. It makes me feel slightly sick but it’s quicker and easier than wading through the bullshit in the corporate press. I’ve done this since 9/11, which was The moment I realised as a 23 year old chap that we were living in a reality carefully constructed by criminals.
I got chatting to a stranger in a Lidl car park in September 2020 when he enquired about the cost of our motorhome.
Neither of us were nappied, and both questioned the covid narrative.
He suggested that I investigated the 911 narrative.
He was an architectural engineer.
I love this anecdote. Architects and engineers for 9/11 Truth was my favourite website back in the day.
Ditto.
Only BBC output on my TV over the last couple of years has been 6 Nations matches.
Voting with your feet, and your wallet, is far more effective than a X on a ballot paper.
Frog in pots.
Everyone knows by now the analogy often tossed about these days describing a frog in a pot of water on a stove.
The heat is turned up so slowly that the frog has no idea that if he (or she) doesn’t jump out he will be boiled alive.
Seems that most sheep, the normies, are like the frog. The rest of us (for the sake of simplicity I will call the rest of us “shrews”—more on that later!) are doing most of the jumping — or at least trying to. READ MORE HERE:
https://off-guardian.org/2022/02/12/slow-boil/
Cognitive dissonance, though, means many of them get scared when they make it out of the pot, so they simply jump right back in again.
A bit like the phenomenon in the US where life-long Democrat voters flee a ruined city because their voted-for politicians have ruined it. They move to Republican run States, but continue voting Democrat.
You cannot fix stupid.
Yes. People generally don’t like change because change represents the unknown. It is the fear of the unknown that makes people compliant. It’s better for them to stay in the familiarity of whatever Hell they’re in than put their heads above the parapet and confront reality head on. Vive la revolution.
We are all birds in search of a cage is a good quote I think.
we are learning about the vaccines all the time. what we know now is clearly more than what we knew when they started the roll-out – as the article explains
I wonder what we will learn in future?
“If you want their monument you will look around you” and it will not be a great Cathedral either.
One thing a lot of people need to learn is that being stupid might well kill them.
And something we all need to learn is that democracy will not work if the low IQ, convicted criminals and the unemployed have the vote.
The first two groups are too unintelligent to cast a meaningful vote under any circumstances. The latter group is also mostly too unintelligent, but they also entice politicians to make idiot promises about social care, which leads to the wrong type of person being attracted to politics – Jeremy Corbyn being a perfect example.
That’s not democracy, that’s something more akin to the WEF.
1984.
It is exactly how democratic government should function. Want a say in how the country spends its taxes? Get contributing then
VAT, council tax, petrol tax, insurance tax, green taxes, the list is endless. Everybody pays them. What’s so bloody special about income tax?
Er, because it’s used to pay benefits. Without productive people paying income tax and NI, nothing else gets paid. It’s all very well arguing that unemployed people pay VAT, but in reality they aren’t ‘paying’ anything, since their income has come from someone else’s income being taxed – often very highly. As for Council Tax, I don’t know of anyone on benefits who pays anything like the full amount- especially if they’re in a council property.
I daresay Boris has an IQ over 100 but it doesn’t stop him making stupid decisions.
I was caught by a speed camera doing over the legal limit, does that preclude me from voting?
Is that long term unemployed like, say, a housewife/husband, with no convictions and an IQ of 180, or just those who happened to lose their job a week before a general election?
Don’t go too hard on me, because under my criteria I also don’t get to vote.
I tried to downvote myself, but the site will not allow that. So, please downvote me on my behalf.
But the biggest problem we have is “turkeys voting for Christmas”
Because we have stupidly allowed so many immigrants in and so many people to doss around on Welfare, we are lumped with a very large body of greedy buffoons who will vote for free anything
That is where we are hamstrung by our own lack of foresight. Time to reform, votes only to those earning over £50,000pa and they must pass a basic test on economics first.
Hear hear.
I’m sure that this is exactly what New Labour were up to- effectively creating a ‘client state’ that will always vote for them.
I see you are in favour of depriving yourself of the vote!
Unfortunately, this will not work, since a lot of BBC/Guardian types have high IQs but have never set foot in the real world so they exist in a world of theories- such as Communism is a good idea. Such people are classed as intelligent, yet wouldn’t last five minutes working somewhere like Aldi where you have to be quick witted. I used to work in a pub and we had a number of students who were no doubt quite intelligent but some of them couldn’t figure out things like rotating bottles in a fridge to keep the cold ones nearest to hand and most would just freeze if we got a sudden rush from, say, a concert ending.
.
Yes, the “cunning plan” is to stop the words getting into ‘books’ in the first place!
Next it will be stopping the thoughts getting into people’s heads – Schwab and Gates are working on that one!
By changing the words as you are typing!
“BBC Medical Editor Fergus Walsh took it upon himself in the BBC article to attempt a rebuttal of Djokovic’s vaccine hesitancy, asking “What more does he want to know?”
Djokovic is NOT ‘vaccine hesitant’. Like any sane person capable of critical thinking, using the official, publicly available data, he has weighed up the risks of Covid and the risks and benefits of Covid ‘vaccines’ and has decided that he has more to lose, healthwise, by accepting the ‘vaccine’ than he has to lose by catching Covid.
Djkovic is clearly someone who knows how to look after his health. It appears he does not need a coercive medical-industrial system to help him. The Covidians could learn a lot by following his example, but they won’t.
Fergus Walsh, like his colleagues at the BBC, is employed not to practise journalism but to push the official narrative, whatever that happens to be at any point in time.
The inclusion of “vaccine hesitancy” within an article ostensibly about a famous sportsman’s deportation is not aimed at those looking for hard facts or insight. It is a subtle reinforcement of the narrative aimed at the already-injected to keep them calm, reassured and confident of the choice. “I am smarter than a multi-millionaire famous sports personality” is the intended effect.
When you do something along the lines of inject yourself with a new biological agent because some guy on TV told you to do it, there are bound to be some doubts. That doubting is useful. More accurately, it is exploitable.
Part of the hysteria around the unvaxxed is their unexploitableness. After more than a year of relentless propaganda the very idea some people are not controllable is maddening to social engineers. All their models are predicated on a Fantasyland belief in their ability to mold and shape society to a higher plane of functioning. The bane of this worldview is people doing their own thing. People who smoke socially, drink booze, eat chips and don’t exercise in winter don’t fit the neat all-encompassing models they love.
I always take these things as a sign of how crazy they are. We perhaps underestimate the kind of living hell control freaks inhabit. I have no doubt people like Walsh are literally dumfounded anyone would refuse to go along with covidmania.
Whilst I agree with your post in spirit, it’s not quite how I see things. I think division is actually the aim of the game. Look at the way society has been deliberately fractured along gender, race, and fake political lines by the media over the past 5-10 years. Covid has sent this into overdrive, now we have two human populations, both of which believe themselves to be biologically, morally and intellectually superior to the other; hate each other with a passion and essentially believe the other side is out to get them killed. As a ruling elite in a paradigm of extreme and increasingly obvious wealth inequality this is surely preferable to a class war. And if your corporate and financial malfeasance is in danger of becoming exposed (which is really what the Great Reset is about, as far as I can tell) then a squabbling, confused rabble of peasants arguing about superficial and artificially constructed differences is preferable to the alternative, torches and pitchforks. Maybe?
A very good point. Not one I’d considered.
It would certainly fit the MO of both the establishment, and the British establishment especially. Divide first, then conquer. Keep the peasants at each other’s throats.
If what you are saying is true then the best way to foil their plans is to not play along. To work harder to understand the other fellow’s point of view. The relentless propaganda that drives people to act out of fear.
Something to consider that fits your comments is the cultivation of a low trust society. Low trust tends to correlate with poor development in societies. Very low trust societies struggle to run banking systems, local governments, infrastructure projects etc. The third world is to some extent plagued by this. We focus on the petty corruption but rarely examine it’s causes, which is every man for himself.
British culture and northern European cultures generally are striking in that we traditionally enjoyed high trust. In recent decades this has been eroded. Perhaps that is one of the aims here too, to lower trust in government and authority. To usher in something sitting above national governments.
‘Perhaps that is one of the aims here too, to lower trust in government and authority. To usher in something sitting above national governments.’
Yes indeed. One of my pet theories (not based on anything other than hunch and active imagination) is that at some point, the media machine will ‘flip the script’ on the vaccines, and allow it to be known that they are actually useless and harmful. This would trigger chaos. Lawsuits like the world has never seen, governments falling, “Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!” (to quote Bill Murray in Ghostbusters) If your aim was global governance, what a sweet way to go about it this would be.
In the fantasy (perhaps) interpretation of events described above, the WEF Young Global Leaders like Ardern, Macron and Trudeau have therefore been bred like lambs for the slaughter. Imagine that.
I have long viewed the politicians as visible actors going through the pantomime of democracy and elections. It is no exaggeration a substantial number seem to be compromised individuals; secretly gay, odd sexual tastes and who knows what else. For our current PM it seems it is the oldest reason, money. He is understood to be financially compromised. Easy to manipulate.
All of them are absolutely expendable and a long list of would-be prime ministers and presidents stand behind them, willing to do whatever it takes to be selected. So an endless supply. As covid has taught us, none of them are in charge of anything except the execution of someone else’s plan
.
The prevalence of mass immigration from the third world into every first world country is a key example. It is difficult to believe anyone in power believes we benefit from hordes of third worlders. Yet its promotion is universal in every western nation. We could add in the rainbow gay trans malarky too, wokeism and all the rest.
How to bring it to an end though?
Yes, yes and yes. When I was younger I was almost a typical lefty i.e generally in favour of immigration, big government etc although I knew that those at the top were utterly corrupt. Now I think I can see a strategy of division and (pure evil aside) I think this is purely strategic and necessary for the ruling class to retain power. How to bring it to an end? Well I’m making a film about it where in trying to reconcile the (artificial) differences that have arisen, simply by getting people to share their experiences, and to punch up rather than across. Most people want the same thing really, and their differences have been constructed for them whilst genuine political differences and class identities have been stripped away. This will take huge collective effort to overturn!
I don’t agree that most people want the same thing – some are content with getting by whilst others want more or different things, and some want things but aren’t prepared to put the time or effort in- hence the success of the lottery. We should all be allowed to pursue our chosen path, but equally accept that other people don’t have to agree or pay through the nose for our choices.
It would appear Djokovic got his decision 100% right, given that he caught Covid and did not keel over and die
No it proves he’s an idiot and doesn’t understand Covid (said every Guardian reader I know)
That was very inconvenient, wasn’t it? He could have done the decent thing and died- and on his death bed he could have given an interview saying how wrong he’d been to question ‘The Science’ and our benevolent leaders.
My admiration for the man only increases. Compare the genuine, principled stand by the world’s greatest in his field with that of the whining, self-pitying mediocrity Colin Kaepernick, who was rewarded for his stance with a multi-million dollar contract from Nike with the clownworld tagline of: “Believe in something. Even if it costs you everything.”
Very good point. The last two years have demonstrated that men and women of real principle and moral courage are exceedingly rare. It’s easy to virtue signal but in almost every case the virtue signaler is a phony seeking social approval and little else.
Even if you’re an average Quarterback with delusions of grandeur and Superbowl rings, you can still make millions by throwing your toys out of the pram.
“What more does he want to know?”
Oh I don’t know Mr Walsh, maybe as an athlete he’s particularly concerned about the 108 FIFA registered football players and 400 other athletes who have died from heart failure during the last six months.
Yep, that’s BBC ‘impartiality’ right there!
That headline is wrong. It’s not a vaccine that they are forcing people to take. The correct official term for the toxins they are injecting into people are “gene therapies”. Even the Federal Drugs Administration in the United States have these products listed as gene therapies.
The reason the pharmaceutical companies falsely push these products as vaccines is because they are totally exempt from legal responsibility if any of their vaccines cause illness or injury to people.
In 1986 the idiot ex-actor, President Ronald Reagan, signed into law the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA). The purpose of this act was to eliminate any financial liability that manufacturers would incur if their vaccines caused illness, injury or death to people.
To reinforce this protection for Big Pharma, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) was signed into law in 2005 by another idiot US president, George W. Bush. This act gives the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) authority to provide legal protection to companies that rush out untrialled medications as long as there is deemed to be a critical medical issue at hand – such as a make-believe pandemic.
The PREP Act becomes null and void if it can be proved that injuries caused by vaccines resulted from the manufacturer having engaged in willful misconduct. There’s a world of evidence being held by people like Dr. David Martin that Big Pharma and politicians engaged in willful misconduct in the preparation, roll-out and distribution of these gene therapies.
These people also have irrefutable evidence that Justin Trudeau and his government broke international law, as well as Federal Canadian law, in regards to a delivery method that was/is manufactured in Canada for these gene therapies.
The problem in the United States, though, is that their Department of Justice is more corrupt than what is to be found in the most backward Third World country – and has been that way for a long time. And the FBI and CIA are the type of security services that would shame even Vladimir Putin.
The corrupt regimes in the US and Canada have an awful to gain by forcefully putting down any protests. If moral people ever gain power in these countries, a hell of a lot of corrupt politicians, company executives and corporate leaders will be facing very long spells in prison, if not death sentences. Likewise can be said for the UK and Europe.
And who is waiting in the wings in the US? Trump, who is just another fu*king corrupt egotistical idiot like Reagan and Bush were. In the meantime the US military is worried about, and scurrying off to protect, a large Russian population in eastern Ukraine from their willingness to unite with Russia.
Please Daily Sceptic, call the toxic products what they are, don’t lead people to believe that they are actually vaccines.
Thanks for this.
You are very welcome.
Yes. I have said before please DS, we must be clear in our wording; those mistakes, are own goals, that those who peddle snake oil on the other side don’t make.
And as the serious threat to everything we hold dear in its totality becomes clear even to our commendable Mr Young; we must hold them to account !! That includes Boris, if he was a lovable rogue ? He is NOT now! Look what these global tyrannical leaders have done and not just to poor old Novak ! A reckoning has to happen . We must stop mincing our words. It stops when we say Go Truckers ! Peaceful but clear and sharp
Well put.
Ukraine, and a ‘war’ with Russia, is/was the corrupt narcostate’s last best hope for getting out from under a mountain of debt, death, and approaching mobs with flaming torches and pitchforks.
At least that is my fervent hope – and it couldn’t come soon enough.
Whatever you think of Donald Trump he is no idiot and he was and potentially is the ONLY leader in the Western world who stands up to the green and covid hysteria, as well as disgraceful outfits like Planned Parenthood. Just look at what’s happening to the energy sector in the US under the current, woeful administration.
Hero. The politicians are being directed, politicians who can be in power one day and doing the school run the next, Cameron, ruining the country one day with their plans and then trailing around on a narrowboat, Prescott, they are nothing special
The name of Fergus Walsh will no doubt be added to the list of “collaborators” and “facilitators” in this medical/health catastrophe and crimes against humanity.
A lamp post awaits, (and for all of similar ilk) in this world and the next.
Metaphorically speaking of course.
Don’t worry he’s on the list.
With 60% of the world’s population vaccinated and 10 billion doses administered, there is a “wealth of information” which shows the vaccines’ “safety profile is excellent”, Walsh claims.
Walsh has obviously not looked at the jab picture in Vietnam
OCT-2020……..only 35 C-19 deaths in Vietnam
JUL-2021……..still only 35 C-19 deaths in Vietnam
TODAY………39,122 C-19 deaths in Vietnam
Have a guess what happened in Vietnam after July 2021.
Even more effective than Agent Orange then?
Good grief.
A man of principle .
So world tennis is dead and the ‘Championship’ meaningless .
If even a quarter of the things we’ve all read about these devices are true, he’ll need to play against a wall at future grand slams. Or one of us.
Fergus Walsh is not medically qualified. However, his wife Veronique is. A former GP, she has worked in high profile positions in various pharmaceutical companies for 25 years. As of November 2021, Veronique joined US company Gilead Sciences as General Manager for the UK and Ireland, managing a portfolio of products spanning HIV, Hepatitis, Oncology and COVID-19. As you probably know, Gilead also has Remdesivir as part of its portfolio. Gilead has an interesting (grim) history of legal challenges.
My question is – Given that Fergus Walsh is in a position to put out unsubstantiated claims about vaccine safety and efficacy on the BBC is there a conflict of interest given that his wife is in a position of influence for Gilead in the UK and Irish pharmaceutical markets?
Perhaps I was being too generous to BBC journalists in my response to Fraser Nelson’s Underpants above. We can add corrupt, to stupid and ignorant then.
Great post *applause*. Let me have a go at restating it: the BBC’s medical correspondent and fervent advocate for vaccines is married to the General Manager of Gilead in UK. Excuse me, I need to puke.
Gilead is Gates. Therefore….
And, Remdesivir is Fauci. With parents like that it is hardly surprising that it cripples and kills, and is very expensive.
Note: in hospitals in the US, where Remdesivir is part of standard treatment for Covid, the nurses have nicknamed it “RUN! Death is near”.
Way to go Djokovic ! Have always loved you because you are a goddamn brilliant player, and a very funny and wise man. The minions will vanish but you will always stand tall.
Djokovic is presented as ‘eccentric’ opting not to get jabbed, but 60% of the UK’s 30-35 year olds have decided not to get a booster!
See page 19 of the UK HSA week 6 vaccine surveillance report COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report – week 6 (publishing.service.gov.uk)
1/4 of my cohort have either ‘left the program’ or never started it.
I wonder what the take up of the nth will look like
When politicians and the press insult or demean those who don’t want these jabs, they are attacking an ever growing number of people.
That has never struck me as a sustainable approach.
Demonising an ever growing number of people seems like a losing strategy.
It does doesn’t it. It’s kind of a hole in the ‘this is all about technocracy’ argument; is as though they’re deliberately antagonising the very people they wish to induct. All very odd.
Good man.
What’s with all the coercion, we know those pushing the jabs have no altruistic interest in other people, they should be forced to state their reasons why and have it checked out.
At least I no longer pay for the BBC. Feel less annoyed about the article as a result.
The Muhammad Ali of our time.
And we all know how Ali has gone down in history.
He was always more intelligent than Nadal and it showed even before this.
Why does Ryanair only fly Boeing 737-800s?
They don’t fly the Boeing 737MAX. Or the Airbus A320.
I guess they must be anti-aeroplane.
Why the heck is Ryanair getting involved?
One more reason to detest them.
A key moment, comparable to Dr James (NHS vaccine mandates).
Both men have told the tyrants where to stick their numb skulls.
Maybe more need to ‘come out’ as unjabbed to normalise… normality.
Respect .. bless you Novak
Matt Hancock appointed his chum Baroness Dido Harding to a top COVID-19 role. Harding didn’t want to be lonely in this exclusive role so she got Hancock to appoint a colleague of hers, Mike Coupe, to a senior role alongside her.
And the only reason this blatant in-your-face cronyism was complained about, and action taken against it, was because Harding and Coupe are white, so it was deemed to be racist.
Thousands dead and hundreds of thousands injured from a fake pandemic and criminally fraudulent vaccines, and this is the type of act Hancock, Harding and Coupe were pulling. And the court would have probably never in a million-years found against them if racial issues had not been raised.
These people, the entire lot involved, are so out of touch with reality that it’s unbelievable.
It’s obvious that the BBC’s interview with Novak Djokovic was not an honest attempt to tell his story, and people like him, but to use him as a tool to push their propaganda.
At 6:50 this morning on Radio 4 they used a brief comment by Djokovic as an excuse to introduce their health correspondent Fergus Walsh, allowing him to push the narrative. There was a lengthy exchange between Justin Webb and Fergus Walsh, obviously scripted, that I found so patronising and offensive that I just had to transcribe it so that it was on record:
Radio 4 – Today – Tuesday 15 February 6:50
Justin Webb: “It’s interesting Fergus isn’t it, there are a group of people, not just elite athletes, who don’t think the vaccine is putting a computer chip from Bill Gates into their arms, etc etc, but do think that their bodies are in some way sacred and need to be treated differently, and it is those people that governments around the world have had difficulty reaching”.
Fergus Walsh: “Indeed, and very interesting in the interview that Novak Djokovic says that he doesn’t feel he has enough information about the vaccine, and he’s very mindful about what he puts in his body, but he didn’t rule out at some stage having the vaccine in the future. But one does wonder what more information he needs. More than 10 billion doses of Covid vaccine have now been administered around the world, 6 in 10 people on the planet have had at least one dose, so there is a wealth of information about them. And he repeatedly talks about “the vaccine”, but there isn’t just one Covid vaccine there are several, there are several to choose from, and not just the very high-tech novel ones like the messenger RNA vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, there are also ones based on much more traditional methods of creating vaccines that he could choose from as well”.
JW: “There is also this balance between accepting people’s freedom to do what they would want with their bodies, but also the simple fact that vaccinations work when there’s a high turnout”.
FW: “Absolutely, and he seems to have made the choice now that he would rather forgo further attempts to get another Grand Slam, and effectively do his day job, and not have the vaccine. That is a decision that’s ultimately personal to him, as an elite athlete Djokovic is at very low risk from Covid, but it’s not zero, and the safest way for him to have built up his immunity would be through immunisation, and of course any unvaccinated person, there is a level of risk that you run when you come into contact with somebody else, so vaccination is also not just about the individual it’s about others”.
JW: “It’s an interesting one that, because there was a study in America that suggested to a lot of people, you see this online, that actually the safest way to build up immunity, if you’re not pretty obviously at high risk of dying, is through catching the actual illness rather than vaccination, what does the science tell us about that”?
FW: “The science is pretty clear that the best way to build up immunity, and the safest way, and the most effective way, is through being triple jabbed. Even some very elite healthy people, I’ve seen people in hospital who were extremely fit and healthy originally, and then laid low by coronavirus”.
Note the obvious double standards. Fergus Walsh berates Novak for saying “the vaccine” and then goes on to say it himself repeatedly, as everybody does. That’s just petty. So many people have had “the vaccine” that there is a wealth of information about it, but not enough people have had it to stop pushing it.
Truly breathtaking, even for them, and just underlines why I neither listen to nor watch any of their output – just one giant, lying nudge unit.
That last comment of FW.
Deary me. In any sane world he’d be locked up for Conspiracy to Administer a Poison./Noxious substance.
S. 23 and S. 24. Offences against the Person Act. 1861.
Stands the test of time.
“but do think that their bodies are in some way sacred and need to be treated differently”
The fiends! Expecting to be in control of their own bodies and what happens to them! When really our bodies should belong to the State, to do what it likes with.
A bit like slavery really, where you were the property of the “Master”…..oh, hang on, wait a minute……..
‘In some way sacred’. Spoken as if it was a turd floating in a punchbowl.
And now for some impartial commentary, we turn to the spouse of the General Manager of Gilead in the UK.
There are so many lies in their exchange, it really is shocking. For example:
‘Djokovic is at very low risk from Covid, but it’s not zero, and the safest way for him to have built up his immunity would be through immunisation, and of course any unvaccinated person, there is a level of risk that you run when you come into contact with somebody else, so vaccination is also not just about the individual it’s about others.’
But the jabs don’t confer immunity! As Boris Johnson stated on Sky last November, the jabs don’t stop people from catching or spreading the virus! And as Djokovic has had the virus, he’s almost certainly got natural immunity (which is long-lasting!).
‘The science is pretty clear that the best way to build up immunity, and the safest way, and the most effective way, is through being triple jabbed. Even some very elite healthy people, I’ve seen people in hospital who were extremely fit and healthy originally, and then laid low by coronavirus.’
The data from official sources demonstrates that being triple jabbed does not confer lasting immunity – it fades very quickly (and it certainly isn’t ‘safe’).
And which very elite healthy people has he seen in hospital? I thought hospitals were limiting visitors?
Is it bad of me to sincerely wish that both of these BBC stooges have been triple jabbed? And that to hope they have a further booster?
If Gavin Newsome’s had it, these two arseclowns have. They’ve probably both got VAIDS and will still queue up for the fourth.
Justin Webb doesn’t think that bodies are sacred. Well that comment certainly confirms that the body of Justin Webb is decidedly not sacred. In fact I would say that Webb’s body is trash.
The onus and responsibility for looking after our bodies starts with self. Webb clearly pimps his responsibility to others using his fat, taxpayer funded BBC salary. For the plebs and given the woeful lack of knowledge in the NHS we have to do the best we can.
These two sanctimonious pricks are a danger to public health and should be locked up. Their apparent knowledge of all things covid would disgrace a class of eleven year olds: no idea about immunity. According to these two brain dead numpties the injections provide immunity when the evidence is that they DO NOT confer any immunity.
Webb also clearly takes the view that independent thought is no longer allowed and bodily autonomy is no longer sacred.
Presumably Webb believes the slave class has arrived.
The lack of humanity in these two is off the scale.
I’m struggling to put the case I am so angry.
I heard two lesbians talking about this at David Lloyd’s this lunchtime, one was insisting he is selfish and the Australians were right to throw him out.
It really is difficult to bite your tongue at times when such abject stupidity is all around you.
It’s never been so obvious that the British mainstream media is essentially an extension of the State who they derive so much of of their advertising revenue from in various forms.
The whole Russia-Ukraine situation is just more Mi7 fear mongering propaganda, can’t see why anyone pays any attention to them on anything now, are the public addicted to 24/7 fear porn and misinformation?
Djokovic could have pointed out this product wouldn’t have met the definition of a vaccine until very recently when they conveniently changed it.
I’d like to see the full interview, uncut. Not that we will. It’s obvious on a few occasions Novak was about to expand and this was cut.
What is a DS “response parameter” and how can it ‘go missing’?
I’d sooner rely on medical information from Joe Walsh (during an intricate solo) than Fergus Walsh (another pathetic BBC Big Pharma shill).
Novak Djokovic’s correct implication is that those who care about their health and who like to stay fit while retaining at least two brain cells to rub together shouldn’t touch an “anti-SARSCoV2” spikystab with a 10-foot bargepole, let alone a tennis racket.
He may well have said so more explicitly, but if he did the BBC cut it out.
The British state broadcaster, which experts say maintains close relations with the US-backed monarchist regime in the archipelago, spun his words as meaning primarily that he believes that he and everybody else has the right not to get spiked. In other words, they painted his main point as being “I believe in an individual’s right to decide what goes or doesn’t go into their body.” They didn’t paint it as “I am very well-informed about how to stay healthy, and very experienced at successfully staying healthy, as you can see from what I have achieved on the tennis court, and on the basis of my knowledge and experience I am highly confident that were I to get spiked the risks would outweigh any possible benefits.”
Good on you, Novak, mate: you’re totally right to put your health first, and you’re a rare case of a celebrity who is also a person of principle.
So this Walsh character thinks that a degree in English Literature qualifies him to spout ”science” – or is it because his wife works in ‘pharmacy’?
Perhaps he ought to apply for a job as an adviser to the ”health secretary” – two scientifically illiterate people getting together would surely produce something worthy of interest. Or not.
Hmmm…
This guy has risen to greatness already and his stance against the bullies makes me admire him more! Well said Novak, that put theBBC in their place
I see the phantom down-ticker is having a busy afternoon!
Ha ha well I hope the phantom did not just tick but read too. Being open to the market square of sharing ideas maybe their salvation. So who ever you are please read.
Here is a very brief summary of the three main adverse reaction monitoring organisations, MHRA, EudraVigiance, VAERS and OWID for jab totals. I have much more information, but this is the bottom line.
Fascinating to see how standing up for basic ethical principles, erected in the aftermath of Naziism, is now a persecuted belief. How does supping with Mengele feel, Fergus?
Can one story on pro tennis players – or on any pro or college athletes – tell us how many athletes have died or been hospitalized from COVID?
Is it not true that the answer is zero …. in 24 months? What does this tell us about the “health and safety risks” of Covid to healthy young athletes?
Also, of all the legion of athletes who have now tested positive, what percentage had either “asymptomatic” or very mild cases?
I would rather slide down a razor blade using my balls as brakes.
That made me wince, even as a female.
I’ve had such a crush on Novak since this all happened – totally switched my allegiance to him from Federer
.
LovelyGirl, what exactly do you …
… mean ???????????
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ….. Gonna take up with Putin’s henchmen, are we?
Now is not the time to be sending out flirtatious signals to fit and healthy and vivaciously poke-it-on-in-and-keep-it-there-for-half-an-hour well-bred males.
When we rebels retake the kingdom we’ll deserve and demand our just rewards.
Hear this LovelyGirl:
We will put to the sword any females that scream, “I won’t service him because he’s old, bald, toothless, hairless and has a di*k that would not be capable of leaving a print in melted butter”.
Try this, and we’ll shave your head with sheep shears like the Dutch did to the Nazi-servicing who*es after the First World War – or was that the Second?.
By the way lass, is such a thing as butter still around these days? … the toast I’m getting now hardly has flour in it.
How do you know I’m a female, hmm?
Am I wrong??? Is my nose, like everything else failing?
Sorry if you have already posted a link to the interview of Dr Christine Stabell Benn by Dr Sebastian Rushworth in which she explains ‘Non specific vaccine effects’ that the team she is part of have discovered over 30 years of research of vaccinated children in Africa.
This is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcwg-Vzg9NU .
Long story short; live weakened virus vaccines confer unanticipated benefits on vaccinated children and dead virus particles or entirely artificial vaccines (e.g. the mRNA jabs) confer disbenefits on vaccinated children. Both will be effective against the target virus, but the latter often result in increased mortality, while the former create long lasting immunity against a slew of other diseases that are often fatal in third world countries. They have completed the highest standard of tests on 10 vaccines, the last being polio, for which both a weakened whole virus vaccine and a dead or synthetic vaccine exists. They now have a good understanding of why the effects occur, suffice it to say that the acid test of their understanding is the anticipated phasing out of the weakened whole virus polio vaccine, when they expect that this will result in polio becoming a more common infection as the synthetic/killed virus vaccine – just like the mRNA jabs – does not prevent infection or transmission of the virus.
Just one more example of the criminal behaviour of big Pharma – you cannot make a profit out of eradicating a disease for which you have a patented ‘treatment’.
I’m all out of words on all this witchunting of Novak Djokovic (which all started in Australia – another Covid World First from Downunder!). It’s best to sum up the nonsense with a few pic.
Or this one
What disgusts me, as an Australian, is the abandonment of so much that was supposed to be “Australian”: love of sport, the principle of a fair go, thumbing one’s nose at authority, etc.
The Australian Open made a place for the obedient, where people jeered at the very mention of the name of the world’s greatest tennis player – because the government disapproves of him.
P.S. Thanks for your great writing, Phil – here and elsewhere.
“The Minister for Immigration used his discretion to cancel my visa based on his perception that I might create some anti-vax sentiment”
…which never existed in Lockdownunder before Novak’s arrival and hasn’t been since his departure.
That gathering in Canberra, as the Minister will tell you, was just an accidental coincidence of destination.
The Liberal government is hopeless, and being only slightly more appealing than the Labor opposition is not going to save them on election day.
Yep. We keep marching; they keep lying.
Wondering what to do on Election Day: write “Damn you all to Hell” on my ballot paper and be registered as Informal; or seek out sane independents and make sure that my vote counts by allocating preferences to the unspeakable?
I spent a decade or more voting informal, or not voting at all. Then I discovered J K Galbraith’s line ‘politics is always a choice between the unpalatable and the disastrous’.
Find the party or candidate with which you disagree the least, and give them your support. Not voting or spoiling your vote (same thing, really) is a free kick to the people you really don’t want in power.
That’s always been my operating principle. But we’ll end up with either Lib or Lab – and at the moment, I really don’t want either of them in power.
I’ll be putting them last, along with the Greens. Which will probably not prevent one or the other winning a majority in the Reps. But if the Senate has enough LD, UAP, PHON, they’ll make it a very tough three years for either party.
No animal studies; no toxicity studies; no studies of drug interactions; only healthy subjects enrolled in trials; results fudged; no follow up studies as phase three continues; no autopsies of shots victims….
This is just a quick, incomplete list answering “what more does he want to know,”
Mr. Welsh.
Phase 3 trials have been abandoned, all subjects were unblinded and the control group was allowed to be vaccinated.
Those who currently have not been vaccinated, are now the de facto control group.
BBC was quite obviously biased from the fact that they billed it as Djoko discussing his controversial decision not to have the thing. I don’t see what’s controversial about him making his own choices.
Ah, Fergus Walsh, that world renowned immunologist
At last a sportsman with balls . #DumpBBC the truth gangsters
This man is dangerous. He has principles and stands by them: he is a threat to public groupthink.
Forcing people to take products from a private company reeks of reich.

When will the bbc be fined for their continuous spewing of misinformation regarding covid? Last night the presenter said there were “rare” adverse events from the covid vaxx. That after three jabs, people were protected from serious covid. Honestly, I know they are bought and paid for, but I also know why I stopped watching this nonsense a year and a half ago.
Why don’t the BBC just give it a rest? I hate them. They are fake news.
Djokovic is being made a martyr by these totalitarian fools. The truth is just a trickle at the moment, but when it fully emerges, this fine man will forever be a hero for the enormity of what he’s willing to give up for his principles.
