I seem to remember the UK’s lockdowns were so effective that they caused “cases” of “covid” to plummet in Sweden.
“What will it take to dispel that deadly myth?”
A few generations. Very few people have anything to gain by public recognition of the truth, including a large proportion of the general public. I tend to think most people must have known it was bollocks from at least the time of scotch eggs.
Actually Belarus did precisely f all wet to Rona and had a comparable result to everywhere else in western Europe, this is the true control group. Football matches continued there and nothing was shut. Sweden is still an example of medical tyranny just not as bad as the rest of the west, Belarus is the true model of liberty. For defending liberty the hateful CIA tried to start a revolution in Belarus in August 2020, remarkably the large crowds didn’t cause mass deaths. Go figure.
What evidence do you have that the CIA tried to start a revolution in Belarus in August 2020?
‘In a long speech to top officials, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko ranted against the alleged U.S.-led plan to destabilize the country and claimed that American allies in Europe have participated in the effort that took years to prepare, part of his attempts to cast the opposition as Western stooges.
Lukashenko didn’t provide evidence to back his claim that the U.S. had any involvement in the demonstrations.
His main challenger in the election, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, dismissed his comments as an attempt to divert public attention from rigging the vote and the violent crackdown on protests.
“There is just one reason behind the protests in Belarus and it’s known to everyone: Lukashenko has lost the vote, but he doesn’t want to step down,” Tsikhanouskaya told The Associated Press in a written comment. “People have denied Lukashenko their trust and support and demand that he leave.”
Ah! That would be none at all, then………..
Yes it was utterly ridiculous that football continued while the rest of us were locked away and restrained. And we all know why: because the greedy useless men in governments around the world LOVE football and the NBA etc.
What a clown world we live in, and we absolutely deserve the chaotic mess we currently find ourselves in. We get the governments and media that we deserve, for sure
Every time I see Spiked, or the DT, or w*nkers like Piers Morgan, or any of that previously lockdown-loving, ‘vaccine’ promoting, antivax-shaming, democracy-destroying ilk, spout their sudden wisdom, I feel physically sick. The whole lot should be hanging from a tree somewhere as far as I’m concerned. I’ll never forgive, I’ll never forget.
Brendan O’Neil was pretty solid from the beginning and couldn’t see the point of Lockdowns. Unfortunately others like Fraser ‘vax everyone’ Myers was an absolute disgrace and gave Piers Morgan a run for his money. I can’t ever look at Spiked in the same way now.
Myers, and his tyrannical enforced vax everyone policy, is the reason I no longer subscribe to Spiked!
Come on Will, how often are we going to repeat this?
It was always a reflection of the neurosis of the country that succumbed to such measures and so the Swedes demonstrated themselves to be especially level-headed especially given the trends over the rest of the globe. And then you get examples of very nasty totalitarianism in places like New Zealand, erstwhile the most innocuous country in the world perhaps. And then beautiful anomalies like Belarus. And those valiant African leaders who tried to warn the world but who were shortly dispatched. If you meditate on that period you will see that it was a time when the psyche of the nation was laid bare in stark relief.
‘What will it take to dispel that deadly myth?’
The words ‘The Diamond Princess’.
