Pharma Fascism and Medical Nazism. Dead, injured, dying from the stabs and no one cares.
No one can show me the ‘virus’ in a Wuhan bat or any bat.
No one can show me a transference to a human.
No one can show me human to human transfer, which then races around the globe.
No one can prove that such genomic material, if real, leads to illness or death.
I have FOI requests on this and other ‘viruses’ including ‘orthopox viruses’ and not a single agency can show me a god damn thing.
If you can’t show an isolated, purified genomic structure in a shell, you can’t make a quackcine.
I can see however, U$300 billion revenues created with $100 billion bottom line profits.
What I do know having worked as the Rona architect at the HSA, is that there was no pandemic and that death rates increased markedly after the 3 main stab programmes and that excess deaths are now 10%. The only variable of difference is the poison injection and it matters not what brand or technology.
These Medical Nazis have admitted that the stabs did not prevent Rona and did not reduce symptoms, so ergo they saved no one. Various experiments have stabbed or injected healthy people with fluids from those with ‘SARS II’ and no one became ill. These experiments imitate the thousands of similar experiments with the common flu.
Flying viruses and ‘diseases’ from ‘zoonotic’ viral transfers do not exist. Medical Nazism does exist.
And then how many are there who have died/been injured but it’s not been attributed to the vaccine? My sister died 3 weeks after her 60th birthday, of SADS. 3 vaccines. Just dropped down dead. That night a neighbour, NHS nurse, asked if she was vaccinated. When told ‘yes’, she said “oh, we call those Covax deaths”. My sister’s GP told her partner afterwards not to have any more. But the pathologist, carrying out the PM, wouldn’t hear of it.
Just out of interest, what did they put on the certificate? (Please tell me to mind my own business if that feels as though I am intruding).
Very sorry to hear of your personal loss.
I bumped into an old school-parent friend yesterday, and she told me that both she and her husband had lost a sibling to sudden death in the last few months, both aged in their late 50’s.
Just like a bloke who lived in my village where I grew up. Before the Rollout he was not driving because he had a small stroke. After the Rollout sometime in 2021 (he was in his 60s) another lady from my old village said they found him dead in him house. An ex dentist. Who knows what part the jab might of played in his death, and how many more like that!
The greatest mass murder of citizens across the world, an experimental product which without the suppression of Governments medical agencies of ivermectin, would not have been passed for EUA. But then the billions made by Pharma and it’s key investors wouldn’t have been made.
Look at the state of the world since Governments collaborated with each other and industry to do this to us, we are sicker, poorer, and no longer live under democratic rule, but instead a cadre of new Aristocrats who see it as their birthright to run the world and dictate how we live.
They will never admit to themselves or us what they did. and continue to do, I just hope that there is a divine intervention which causes them to live every moment of very long lives in absolute torment.
But then the billions made by Pharma and it’s key investors wouldn’t have been
madetaken from us.FTFY. I realise I’m preaching to the converted.
Well done. I agree with the core point, but I wonder if part of the long tail will become less confidence in other vaccine products. I don’t know if that’s true, but there has been a certain amount of free advertising by the beeb recently, aimed at parents with kids about to return to school this season.
I don’t know what others think, but I am pretty much against all vaccinations now and would advise new parents to think very carefully before committing to an infant vaccination schedule.
Very much on the same page Michael. In fact dubious about anything coming out of a needle. I always check first.
Dubious also about doctors prescribing pills, in fact dubious about anything I am told by “medical experts”.
Don’t forget that 400 years ago doctors dressed in black and took your blood out – nowadays they dress in white and put blood back in. Both cutting edge medicines in their time.
same here confirmed anti vaxxer now, thanks to the past 4 years
actually already had no intention of getting any of their recommended vaccines, flu vaccine etc but now never will. if you look a t the cdc instagram the comments are heartening .
Agreed if you’d asked me 4 years ago about vaccines I would have been fully on board (apart from the Flu vaccine which I always knew was a sham, they’ve spent decades unsuccessfully trying to find one for the common cold). Not now.
I hope confidence drops to zero
Ditto.
The jabbers have probably been jabbed themselves and therefore cannot countenance the possibility that they were wrong and have been injured. Nobody likes to admit that they were wrong (especially to themselves with the devastating consequences that that entails. They tell themselves that they are not bad people, not uncaring, not stupid but were being responsible and altruistic – weren’t they? Also they needed the money/salary/bonus.)
On TV yesterday they were testing the water with the line of discussion….
“should we make Measles vaccine mandatory for schoolchildren”. These zealots will not stop until they’re fuc*ing stopped!
Have you seen Sasha Latypova’s recent substack? (24) The second shot, or what do vaccinators and sewer rats have in common? (substack.com)
I feel that the indemnity offered by govts. to the pharma producers of needs to be challenged. Why should the government be in a position to offer indemnity?
Mistakes were not made. It was part of the globalist depopulation agenda. There is no other rational explanation for such irrational medical decisions.
Mistakes were not made – an anthem for justice
https://x.com/lawrie_dr/status/1665164219044577287
Exactly. A point I have been making for oh, almost four years.
Yes Hux, I noticed that. Four years and counting. 21st century medicine is not fit for purpose. We need a new paradigm not one based on Rockefeller/pharma cartel designed purely for repeat business but one based on a healthy terrain, natural food, clean water, sanitation, fresh air and sunlight.
“At best, one can argue, as I do, that the U.K.’s ratio between cases and deaths improved once the most vulnerable were vaccinated. This suggests some benefit, however brief.”
This conclusion is based on an assumption of valid data, reflecting the reality of what took place. We know this assumption is hugely flawed. For example, many, many deaths of old and vulnerable people happened within 2 weeks of their initial vaccination, but we know that these were recorded as “unvaccinated deaths”. And, as we know, there were many more fundamental data corruptions, such as defining “a case” based on very dubious PCR tests with very dubious cycle thresholds.
And the most elephanty elephant on this room: Defining COVID death as death within 28 days of a positive test. It’s simply impossible to argue that the Covaxxes had a beneficial effect on the health of anyone based on COVID deaths because the number of recorded COVID deaths is essentially proportional to the number of COVID tests, most of them done in hospital on people who went there for all kinds of other health issues and not anyhow related to actual COVID illness or complications thereof.
It’s also worth noting that the most vulnerable were/ are people of age 85+ with multiple severe comorbidities and meanwhile, most of these who were vaccinated in winter 2020/21 certainly died, probably years ago.
And they probably tweaked the rules about writing death certificates as well. The late Harold Shipman would have had a field day. After all, they tightened up on the system after discovering that he had murdered loads of his elderly patients in the past.
The irony of that is those rules about signing off by two Drs after the Shipman scandal were removed again in 2020. Another convenience that suits the vested interests. I should be bitter towards my mother who kept saying you should get the Jab. Just as well I know better.
Not ‘probably’. It’s explicit in the Coronavirus Act 2020. See sections 18-21.
Ah! You mean ‘close to death‘. The ratio of old to young and male to female among the dead throughout 2020 remained normal (as measured week by week for England and Wales). Yes, there were spikes in numbers of deaths but the disease was an equal opportunities killer. If you were close to death it was more likely to kill you. More men and at an earlier age than women – but that’s normal.
Yes, there were spikes in numbers of deaths but the disease was an equal opportunities killer. If you were close to death it was more likely to kill you.
The obvious alternate explanation is that COVID deaths were really so-called deaths for natural causes relabeled with the help of fraudulently applied PCR tests, ie, the disease didn’t predominantly kill those who were “close to death” but the people who were so “close to death” that they died during the mass testing pandemic ended up as COVID dead in the corresponding statistics.
You mean Prince Philip and then the Queen for example?
The data also assumes a perfect mapping of deaths onto vaccination status. This is virtually impossible. We all know governments are incompetent when it comes to handling data and any database must be full of holes and errors. Even if the data is correct, it at best provides a correlation with the possession of a vaccination certificate, which is not the same thing as a vaccination.
The depressing issue is that excess deaths, as in deaths compared with the 2015-2019 average (ONS data – England & Wales), remain high. Over the years 2021-2023 they averaged 50,000 a year, and this year, 2024, to date they total roughly 20,000. That is to mid-August. In short, excess deaths in 2020 were roughly 75,000, since 2020 they number 170,000. It is quite shocking that there is zero coverage of this issue.
I do not understand your figures.
2019 was an unusually benign year. This meant there were fewer deaths among the vulnerable than usual. This, in turn, meant there were more vulnerable people still alive than usual at the beginning of 2020. The first wave of the damn bug (mostly) in April/May 2020 pretty much balanced out the effect of the low death rate in 2019.
Of course, so many people dying within just a few weeks was disturbing. Far too many assumed that the damn bug was as deadly as Ebola. It wasn’t.
For my own personal research I’ve compared the covid lunacy years to a 2013-2018 average. I confess that part of the reason I chose that is because the Nomisweb database lookup tool only goes back to 2013 for cause of death stats.
Talking viruses…
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/oh-no-here-comes-another-not-very-scary-virus/
Roger Watson at TCW absolutely taking the piss over a startling
announcement in the Johns Hopkins house magazine Global Health Now of a new ‘virus’ called Oropouche which is so deadly it has killed two people since 1955. And guess what, it is so deadly there is no “vaccine” to “fight” it. I can’t see Billy letting this opportunity go to waste.
Save me, save me.
The 14,000 who have claims lodged with the U.K. Vaccine Damage Compensation Scheme is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to people damaged by the shots. The scheme’s website states: “You could get a payment if you’re severely disabled and your disability was caused by vaccination against any of the following diseases…………….. Disablement is worked out as a percentage, and ‘severe disablement’ means at least 60% disabled.
This could be a mental or physical disablement and will be based on medical evidence from the doctors or hospitals involved in your treatment.”
Someone like my wife, therefore, who had a pulmonary embolism a week after her second AstraZeneca shot is not entitled to compensation despite being on blood thinning drugs for the rest oh her life. Furthermore, her injury is not even recorded as a vaccine injury. The numbers of people whose circumstances are similar must run into the hundreds of thousands.
The Close I live in isn’t age restricted, but because of the location and type of housing I have mostly elderly neighbours. There are 20 houses and at the start of the nonsense, 25 residents mostly aged 80 and above.
Shortly after the jab roll-out, 4 residents had strokes. 3 were dead within a few months; 1 moved into a care home. Another resident suddenly collapsed with “a heart issue.” He’s still alive, but a shadow of his former self. Another resident has “long vax” … after her 3rd jab and is effectively disabled.
I know of 5 friends/acquaintances who developed aggressive cancers. 3 dead, 1 terminal, 1 having chemo and hopefully caught in time.
The husbands of 2 friends had sudden heart attacks. One of them went on to have a 3rd jab and had another heart attack.
I’ve lost track of the number of friends, acquaintances and relatives who have developed health issues; have got covid for the 2nd/3rd time or are just generally unwell.
That’s appalling.
Some young people probably took the “vaccine” out of altruism but in my experience it was mainly perceived peer pressure and most of all the threat of vaxx passports and so they could travel abroad
“Now, the great Covid tide has receded, leaving only wreckage: financial, societal and personal”
Oh yes, the wreckage they just blame Brexit & Putin for. Very convenient.
Radio 1 was talking the usual small talk this morning but I picked up on one of the DJs remarking jokingly “stop Gaslighting me”. I thought to myself, well there are many school kids on their way to school who may be listening and might be interested in that remark. We know 2020 saw Gaslighting on steroids.
I am no virologist and I do not seek to make claims about the vaccine itself. What really makes me angry is the surrounding response, the widespread and government backed bullying of people based on bad statistics, lies, and fearmongering. I did a lot of travelling during COVID (despite never having been vaccinated) including a walk across the Pyrenees into Spain.
What I observed was that all countries were apparently observing “the science” but that “the science” told them different things with regard to masks, social distancing and one’s ability to go out and socialize. Seeing all were following the science, I can only conclude that Europe must have been divided into different science zones, with the virus switching its behavior when crossing borders. I remember being on a train from Austria into Hungary, where while we were in Austria a pre-recorded droning voice kept reminding us in about four languages that we were all about to die if we didn’t wear the mask properly. No sooner had we crossed into the Hungarian science zone, which apparently begins a few kilometers west of the actual border, than a different voice (in Hungarian only) informed us that we should dispose of masks in the bins and not leave them on seats. most people had already removed the masks by this point and many indeed abandoned them on seats and on the floor. Even the train manager who had previously called me a granny killer had removed his mask. Obviously the virus must have had a GPS in its structure to know when to change science zones. Now I am no virologist, but the presence of GPS capability alone, I would assume, should count as proof that the virus must have been made in a lab. I am surprised no scientist ever studied this more deeply. I also wondered why government never switched off GPS systems to confuse the virus and so slow down its spread.
But more than a GPS, the virus even had a sensor to detect a person’s country of residence. I live in Switzerland and just to troll a little I pretended that on a recent visit to Hungary I had received the Chinese vaccine that was being administered there. I was told that this conveyed me with the right to go out and visit pubs and restaurants if i was a tourist but as a resident I did not have that right. The reason was “the science”. Now this really proves we must have been up against a super smart virus. No other non human life form is able to distinguish between a tourist and a resident.
Yup and it even discriminates against those who are eating, and those who are not.
The virus was even cleverer than that: It could tell the difference between people who were sitting and having a drink and people who were standing and having a drink. It would ignore the former but ruthlessly attack the latter. That’s why so-called “standing consumption” had to be prohibited and why people were required to wear a mask on the way to the toilet.
Hadn’t it been for all these incredibly serious and credible scientists doing their very best to prevent enormous numbers of COVID deaths, one could almost feel tempted to believe that this was all made up on the go by piss-takers.
I can only recommend the author read the latest paper from https://denisrancourt.ca/, analysing all-cause mortality data from 125 countries, concluding that globally 31 million deaths were caused by governments’ reactions to the supposed ‘pandemic’, of which 17 million were due to the various vaccines.
There was no ‘virus’. There was the illicit use of PCR tests to define someone as being a Covid-19 patient, resulting in health authorities applying WHO-prescribed ‘cures’, too often leading to death, especially if the patient was not being treated for the actual disease from which he was suffering. Denis Rancourt particularly points out there was a large epidemic of fatal bacterial pneumonia in the USA but the patients did not receive the necessary antibiotics.
I myself was refused a post-operative cancer check-up because I would not agree to a PCR test. My disgust for the medical authorities who unquestioningly played along – and continue to do so – with what was clearly global fraud is unbounded.
There was a mysterious vaping ailment/malady in summer 2019 if I remember correctly. I wonder it that was the fatal bacterial pneumonia you mentioned above?
The Covid period in question and analysed started in March 2020, see https://denisrancourt.ca/entries.php?id=116&name=2022_08_02_covid_period_mass_vaccination_campaign_and_public_health_disaster_in_the_usa.
All of our observations can be coherently understood if we interpret that the covid-period socio-economic, regulatory and institutional conditions induced chronic stress and social isolation among members of large vulnerable groups (individuals afflicted and co-afflicted by poverty, obesity, diabetes, high susceptibility to bacterial respiratory infection [inferred from pre-covid-period antibiotic prescription rates], old age, societal exclusion, unemployment, drug and substance abuse, and mental disability or serious mental illness), which in turn caused many of these individuals to be more and fatally immunocompromised, allowing them to succumb to bacterial pneumonia, at a time when a documented national pneumonia epidemic raged and antibiotic prescriptions were systemically reduced; in addition to possible comorbidity from COVID-19 vaccine challenge against individuals thus made immunocompromised, under broad and hastily implemented “vaccine equity” programs.
Dumb question but what did we catch at the time making our taste & smell go ??
Flu. It was nasty in 2020 for at least some of the 30% of people who were susceptible to it. But the fatality rate for fit and well people aged under 65 was 0.01%. And for under-21s it was nil.
That symptom definitely occurred. I wonder if that is the body’s way of making us fast – no interest in eating as it tasted of nothing, thereby helping the body to heal. I don’t think anyone wasted away with that however.
Oh dear, NewsGuard aren’t going to like this article by a “medical expert” that’s not one of theirs. What random number will they apply to their report I wonder, perhaps 8 again as that seems a favourite, not 3 though which has been cancelled.
