Remember all that alarmist guff about Antarctica sea ice recording lower levels in winter a couple of years ago? Georgina Rannard of the BBC wrote a story headed ‘Antarctic sea ice at “mind-blowing” low alarms experts‘, while Clive Cookson at the Financial Times gave us his suggestion that the area “faces a catastrophic cascade of extreme environmental events… that will affect the climate around the world”. The scare story caravan has moved on to pastures new these days, not unrelated to the fact that at the end of 2024 the extent of sea ice in Antarctica was roughly the same as the 1981 to 2010 average. According to the U.S.-based National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC), “this provides a sharp illustration of the high variability of Antarctica sea ice extent”. It does indeed, and it also provides us with a classic case study of how a short-term natural variation, well understood by many scientists, is weaponised by activists in science, politics and journalism to induce mass climate psychosis with the aim of promoting the political Net Zero lunacy.
The less hysterical NSIDC would appear to be the same NSIDC that published a paper updated as recently as last July asking, “has Antarctic sea ice hit a breaking point?”. As the Daily Sceptic has reported in the past, Antarctica has been a bit of a disappointment to the climate cry-baby crowd since it has shown little warming for at least 70 years. “Now scientists are eager to know if climate change has finally caught up with Antarctica sea ice,” notes the NSIDC paper. Helpful as ever in the mission of preaching climate Armageddon, Rannard of the BBC provides us with an “experts say” quote: “Without its ice cooling the planet, Antarctica could transform from Earth’s refrigerator to a radiator.”
Interestingly, the second author on the Rannard story was ‘data’ specialist Becky Dale who subsequently enrolled for the six-month sabbatical run by the Green Blob-funded Oxford Climate Journalism Network. This is a crash course in climate catastrophisation reporting. Previous participants have been asked to write about how fruits such as mangos are less tasty than in the past due to climate change. A recent speaker has called for “fines and imprisonment” for those expressing scepticism about “well supported” science.
The ’mind-blowing’ quote that made headlines around the world has been attributed to Dr. Walter Meier of the NSIDC. Dr Meier, reported Rannard and Dale, “is not optimistic that the sea ice will recover to a significant degree”. At the height of the scare, Meier claimed the 2023 winter dip was far outside anything we’ve seen. Again as we have reported in the Daily Sceptic, Dr. Meier seems a tad forgetful of the past work he has done on the obvious cyclical nature of Antarctica sea ice. Ten years earlier, Meier was part of a science team that unlocked the secrets of early Nimbus satellite photographs. These revealed significant Antarctica sea ice variability in the 1960s including a high in 1964, not seen again until 2014, and a low in 1966, similar to the recent dip. At the time, Meier commented that extreme ice highs and lows “are not that unusual”.
During November and December 2024, mid to late spring in the Southern Hemisphere, the daily Antarctica sea ice loss was 140,000 square kilometres compared to 165,000 sq kms for the 1981-2010 average. By the end of December the sea ice extent was roughly around the average recorded in the 30 years to 2010. Now it seems the NSIDC is a re-convert to stressing long-term trends, noting that the 2016-2024 timeline “is too short to definitely determine that a regime shift has occurred”.
Perhaps the NSIDC ought to mark the card of the British Antarctica Survey (BAS) team, who as late as May last year issued a press release claiming that the 2023 lows would be a one in 2,000 year event without climate change. Needless to say, this scaremongering twaddle was the product of a computer model. The model told the BAS that such “evidence” adds to existing observational evidence “that the last few years’ low sea ice could signal a lasting regime shift in the Southern Ocean”. More BS than BAS, the uncharitable might conclude.
Needless to say, the recent cyclical recovery in Antarctica sea ice has been ignored by mainstream media. It’s been a bad period for alarmists, coming so soon after years of record growth of coral on the Great Barrier Reef put an end to yet another profitable supply of constant alarums. Thankfully the BBC finds ever more obscure ways to keep the fast-fading Net Zero fantasy alive. Perhaps not as headline-grabbing as ice and coral, but it appears that a bumble bee has been sighted recently in Scotland. It was claimed that critters were “nest building” and this was due to climate change. Britannica does not find such a sighting very surprising, noting that in winter when the temperature outside rises above 10°C, bees will leave the hive momentarily to relieve themselves of waste. Possibly with a cheery wave and a “back in three, going for a wee”.
All of the confusion – designed to constantly promote Net Zero – arises because narrative-driven commentators assign most weather and climate changes to humans adding trace amounts of a trace gas into the atmosphere. It leaves little room for explaining the role of natural variation in the changing climate. Antarctica has not warmed for at least 70 years and a recent paper found that the summer temperature had shown a dramatic 1°C fall from 1977-1999, followed by a pause since the turn of the century. Another paper found that Antarctica sea ice extent had slowly increased since the start of continuous satellite recordings in 1979.
This case study of the recent hyped sea ice alarm in Antarctica shows how the scientific process is torn up and ridiculous claims, often produced by computer models, are made on the flimsiest of short-term evidence and observation. Lectures on disregarding short-term variations only resume when normal, and often cyclical, trends reappear and follow inconvenient directions.

bad news for the kids that were coerced into the experimental medical intervention….
ONS data shows that there has been a 47% rise in all cause deaths amongst teenagers aged 15-19 since vaccination of this age group commenced, compared with the same period in 2020, the rise also coinciding precisely with the start of vaccination. The rise in deaths for teenage boys is 63%.

Additional autopsy evidence of causality: Although autopsies are not generally permitted, Dr Pete Schumacher, one of the world’s top pathologists (according to The Pathologists, and whose many posts include Acting Chairman of the German Society of Pathologists and Director of the Institute of Pathology), managed to carry out autopsies on 40 people who died within 2 weeks of a Covid injection. His conclusion was that 30-40% can be directly attributed to the injections. This leaves the possibility that a proportion of the remainder is also caused by the injections, but it is not possible to make the direct connection. It is no surprise that Dr Schumacher has been censored and his findings downplayed. More recently, at least a further 10 autopsies were carried out in Germany and doctors concluded that 7 were very probably caused by the vaccination, 1 was definitely not, and that the remaining one was inconclusive.

So Bojo just hosted a dinner this evening for twenty of the world’s most powerful execs – every single one of them is a WEF member, what a coincidence?
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/boris-johnson-hosts-business-leaders-dinner-amid-u-k-investment-push-1.1667791
Perhaps Bill Gates took him into a private room to discuss how the depop/defrag boosters were going down in the UK?
You know Gate’s WEF backed philanthropic global plan to have every human body impregnated with a substance for which repeated updates must be administered; withdrawal of these therapies at any time brings an accelerated vascular decline though not immediately of course, well only for those unlucky few.

This only ends when when we say it does….
Boris got a good talking to. He better continue down the road of mass vaxx, repeat vaxx, vaxx from birth to death. There is a lot of money in this for the UK if he continues to obey. Disobey, and the country will go into a downward spiral so fast, our heads will spin.
anyone know, did these twenty or so wef members have to quarantine? Lateral flow test before entering the country? Since bill is on a Lear jet, burning fossil fuel like their is no tomorrow, nobody checking his papers before he boarded the flight.
Why would Johnson care about money “for the UK”? All he cares about rewarding himself and his cronies, and being elevated to his retirement reward from Davos when is no longer a useful tool.

This struck me as an interesting claim. A clear insinuation that COVID vaccination in the young had a dramatic correlation with increased death. Evidenced in UK ONS data. A bombshell!
But given in the linked article in a throwaway way, unsourced, unexplained? Surely your sceptic antenna are twitching? Especially as this would conflict with data from other countries much further ahead in their youth vaccine roll-out.
Also the odd comparison with 2020. If this vaxx-death relationship were true, one might expect a clear temporal relationship between vaccinations and deaths in 2021 yes?
So let’s see?
The data is easily available, but not in a way that invites easy comparison. So, this effort is crude.
2 of 4
See graph below made from the most recent ONS data 18-Oct
Registered deaths 2021 males 15-19 yrs – up to week 39
Numbers of deaths per week are mercifully small.
No obvious large changes over time or general increases, though perhaps more variation from week 22 onwards? But such small numbers mean one or two deaths skews your impression. In particular, no sudden or sustained rises in the second half.
3 of 4
Vaccination uptake in the relevant age group (male AND female)
The UK’s weekly surveillance report gives the % uptake for different age bands. This is from week 41.
You can see dose 1 has two clear uptake waves – for 18 to under 20 starting week 24 and another 16-18 starting week 32.
But this representation makes it hard to see the actual increase in vaccinations week by week.
4 of 4
Comparison of male deaths with dose 1 uptake in releavnt age bands
You can work out the change in % uptake week by week. Plotting this then gives a better sense of the volumes of 1st dose vaccinations over time. To simplify things and get a general sense of a temporal relationship, I’ve only covered dose 1 and combined the age band %’s. This isn’t the best, but gives a rough sense.
You can see:
– The early low % uptakes in the at risk populations (both age bands)
– The two ‘all access’ uptake waves per age band
What you can’t see is any obvious increase in deaths as a result of the vaccination uptake.
I.e. the original claim that (young male?) deaths increase ‘precisely’ with vaccinations is very likely false and definitely misleading.
Note:
– This is an extremely crude comparison, and may have mistakes. If so please do point them out. Someone should do a proper job
– Vaccines may have negative effects other than death
– Balance of risk / reward has many factors to consider
– I’m not promoting or demoting covid vaccination in the young
But watch out for misleading, unsourced information that conflicts with other data.
thanks, a great response, much more debate is needed, the linked article had this in the fore note and I am sure your comments would be very welcome…
Considerable care and effort has gone into creating this, but others may hold different views on interpretation of the data and science. If you spot any errors, disagree with points/statements made or if I have missed anything important, I would be very grateful if you could let me know so that I can investigate and make changes where appropriate.
but data from the States does seem to confirm there is a problem…

This paper is about myocarditis – not excess deaths. It reports the acknowledged and much discussed increased risk of myocarditis among young males following vaccination. But this has to be put in perspective:
Of the total myocarditis AE reports, 6 individuals died (1.1%) and of these, 2 were under 20 years of age – 1 was 13
So out of the millions of under 20s that have been vaccinated in the USA – two deaths have been reported due to myocarditis. Even allowing for underreporting (and would people really fail to report a death due to myocarditis following vaccination?). This is not going to show up in increased mortality figures. I can’t find figures for this specific age group but for the 15-24 age group there are 20,000 odd deaths a year due to suicide, traffic accidents, homicide and poisonings. https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/usa-cause-of-death-by-age-and-gender
Do we actually know if there was increased teenage mortality at the time of vaccination in any country other than the UK?
I believe i said the data from the states confirms ther is a problem, which it does.
Freecumbria’s posts in here may be helpfull… (but will self destruct tonight)
https://dailysceptic.org/todays-update/#comment-612190
and this article may also help with your confusion….
https://dailysceptic.org/2021/10/19/vaccine-safety-update-14/
I preferred the old system where a new vaccine/medication had to be proven to be safe before mass vaccination (with emergency authorisation) and while it is in the experimental stages – then sitting back and denying any evidence that may show it is unsafe. Especially as the only emergency is the annual winter respiratory disease problems that we get every year because of an NHS that is simply not fit for purpose.
They are interesting and thanks for pointing them out – I have commented on them there. It seems to me that Aunty Jen’s comments above pretty much address Freecumbria’s charts. It is really hard to see anything exceptional in the all cause mortality figures for teenagers – the numbers are very small and therefore subject to large percentage fluctuations.
I would have thought the most important thing is to be safe not sorry and be sure that we ‘first do no harm’ – as most healthy people, and especially the young, are at minute risk from the nasty cough, why would anyone push an unnecessary experimental medical intervention that has so many unknowns about its short and long term safety?
I don’t think it is fair to say there are so many unknowns about short term safety. Many tens of millions of young people have been vaccinated with the mRNA and DNA vaccines over the last year round the world, these have been monitored by multiple health authorities, and a couple of very small risks have been identified and quantified (with a resulting adjustment in policy).
Long term safety is clearly less well known but bear in mind the vaccines and the resulting proteins only exist in the body for a few days. Compare that to a drug like thalidomide which was taken at regular intervals for some months. As far as I know, there are no examples of vaccines with unexpected problems more than a couple of years after first use.
In the end you have to balance the risk of being vaccinated against the risk of not being vaccinated. For the young, in the short term, we talking about two minute risks of death or serious illness. It is more a case of reducing the risk an unpleasant illness and of passing something on to your grandparents (which most young would very much like to avoid). For the young, in the long term, we don’t know the risk of either but other viruses (including coronaviruses) have a track record of causing long term problems including cancer – vaccines don’t.
Having said that, I am against vaccinating children or pushing vaccines too hard for teenagers.
just copied this from another comments section, 4 months is more than ‘a few days’…
This was published in June. This concerns mainly exosomes appearing in natural infection.In the final quotation(underlined) the authors, like everybody else, thought that spikeprotein would have quickly disappeared before vaccinated encountered the covid virus. The earth-shaking paper discussed before today, now shows exosomes containing spike protein can be detected 4 months later completely upsetting all our views that these vaccine derived spike protein really can persists. And then they can cause immunological damage as below but much more nasty things can be possible. Extracellular vesicles carry SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and serve as decoys for neutralizing antibodies Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membraned particles constitutively released by cells, including virally-infected cells
“we demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can be incorporated into EVs. Furthermore, we show that spike-carrying EVs act as decoy targets for convalescent patient serum-derived nAbs, reducing their effectiveness in blocking viral entry. These findings have important implications for the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection in vivo and highlight the complex interplay between viruses, extracellular vesicles, and the immune system that occurs during viral infections.”
“Together, these data indicate that while nAbs can be extremely effective in protecting against SARS-CoV-2, the antibody responses that develop during natural infection are not always capable of containing viral replication and disease progression.”“Here, we demonstrate that another class of viral-host intermediate particles—extracellular vesicles (EVs) bearing viral spike or envelope glycoproteins—can also interact with the immune system and may shape the outcome of viral infections”
“We do not anticipate that EVs will interfere with nAb efficacy during vaccination, as the cells expressing spike—and any EVs incorporating spike—would likely be cleared prior to exposure to the virus”
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jev2.12112
The earth-shaking paper discussed before today, now shows exosomes containing spike protein can be detected 4 months later
I missed that paper. Do you have the link?
It is OK – I think I found it:

If that is it, why earth-shaking?
I agree that no child needs this jab, in fact the vast majority of people don’t…The main thing I notice looking at the evidence all around the world is that Quacksines haven’t made anything better, or made Covid go away? Shouldn’t they have improved things by now??
‘– I’m not promoting or demoting covid vaccination in the young’
That’s the odd thing about your posts; No opinions of your own, just fact checking and criticism of others.
But watch out for misleading, unsourced information that conflicts with other data.
Do you work for Facebook? What do you think about vaccinating children for Covid-19?
Does what you say agree with thenDaily Expose article on ONS stats, which states:
“The above data is taken from the week ending 25th June 2021 and the week ending 1st October 2021. The week ending 25th June was chosen due to an obvious uptick in vaccination of the 15-19 year0old age group from this date.
As you can see from the above, the highest increase in deaths came in the week 35 which saw a 67% increase on the number of deaths in teens against the five-year-average, this represented a 60% increase in male teen deaths, and a 75% increase in female teen deaths.
The largest increase in male teen deaths came in the week 26 which saw a 90% increase in male teen deaths, but a decrease in female teen deaths, equating to -45% against the five-year-average.
We were also able to discover from the table above that deaths in male teens have seen a significant increase against the five-year-average in 11 of the 15 weeks since a sizeable amount of teens started getting the Covid-19 vaccine.
Whereas deaths among female teens only saw an increase against the five-year-average in 6 of the 15 weeks since this age group began receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. A further 3 of the 15 weeks saw a 0% increase in deaths against the five-year-average, whilst 6 of the 20 weeks actually saw a percentage decrease in the number of deaths registered compared to the previous year. It is however concerning to note that week 34 saw a 125% increase in female teen deaths compared to the five-year-average.
There is also concerning evidence that could explain why there is such a large increase in deaths of male teens against the five-year-average since they started to be given the Covid-19 vaccine.
The Medicine and Healthcare product Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have openly admitted that they suspect myocarditis and pericarditis are potential side effects of the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines, especially among young males. A suspicion that has been strong enough for the UK Medicine Regulator to officially add warnings about myocarditis and pericarditis to the safety labels of the Covid-19 vaccines.”
https://theexpose.uk/2021/10/13/teen-deaths-125-percent-higher-since-covid-vaccination-ons-data/
…and regardless of what others might suggest, this is an EXPERIMENTAL medical procedure with no medium or long term studies to show ANY efficacy to children…but where the shortest studies have already shown some harm.
One of the things said by the JVCI…you know, the experts the so called Government overruled!
‘The available data indicate that the clinical manifestations of myocarditis following vaccination are typically self-limiting and resolves within a short time. However, the clinical picture is atypical and the medium to long-term (months to years) prognosis, including the possibility of persistence of tissue damage resulting from inflammation, is currently uncertain as sufficient follow-up time has not yet occurred.’
Amazing that the jabsters can defend the horrors of lockdown, masks, school closures, job losses, medical and governmental tyranny with the idea that no one should die from Covid, no matter how old, (one life is one too many! Sigh!) But in the same breath can defend medical experimentation, and children’s deaths can be described as ‘mercifully small!.’
Ah, that is interesting.
The linked article is initially unconvincing due to superficial mistakes like: basic stats error in the headline, spelling errors, and their links to supporting data files sometimes go to the wrong files.
BUT it appears they have obtained an ad hoc created ONS file that gives 2015-1019 deaths data by age band (they do not link to this properly in the article). Oddly this ad hoc file does not appear on the ONS user requests webpage BUT the user request page contains a similar one with some matching data – giving more confidence the article’s ad hoc file is genuine (BUT it’s not proof of this).
This ad hoc 2015-2019 file gives data that does appear to show 2021 male 15-19 deaths did see a slight increase week 25ish onwards compared to 5 year average. Note the per year totals do vary year to year, but 2021 would still be 10%ish higher than the previous highest value. I.e. there appears to be a slight increase that does bare explanation.
Vaccination in this group is one possible explanation, BUT this time period also coincides with the large COVID case waves in the UK. I.e. any additional deaths (if they do exist) might be potentially caused or exacerbated by COVID infection. For example, as various authoritative sources have pointed out, based on current data it appears the risk of myocarditis is higher with a COVID infection than it is with a pfizer/moderna vaccination. I.e. even IF youth deaths were attributed to heart issues, this doesn’t necessarily prove vaccination was the cause.
To get to the bottom of this one would need to look at things like the vaccination and COVID status of all those that died, which will then give a more accurate picture of possible cause. So yes, this does look like it needs proper investigation, but one shouldn’t jump to conclusions at this stage.
As MTF says, data from other countries which are much further ahead with their youth vaccination programme suggests no increase in youth death due to myocarditis. But clearly vigilance is required.

Three cheers for the London Resistance.
Seems like there is a correlation between high % migrant population and low vaccination rates.
Many of them are used to governments trying to force things on them. They are wisely very wary.
Quite keen on experimental drugs these scots aren’t they.

Dreadful, ignorant sheep. I live in Scotland and I am ashamed of the Scots’ weak compliance and trust in all things Sturgeon. I feel like a stranger in a foreign land. There are so few critical thinkers here it is frightening.
Hadrian had the right idea.
Well done English kids (and their parents). Hoping the clear differential in uptake between Scotland and England remains so that we can all compare the outcomes. Hold the line.
A concern for what reason?
A rise in ‘cases’ – not illness, but some rather dodgy test, or not even that, might have found increasing numbers. But this is all the tosh which was used to force the elderly, then middle aged, then young adults, and so on, into getting the jab. A ‘rise in cases’ came up every time. It’s tosh. And I don’t believe it any more.
I believed this was all bogus from March 2020. ‘Covid’ has been, and still is, nothing but a hoax and scam.
But there’s always some git to come along, even on here, and say “I had Covid”.
Damn right!
Some never did believe it, especially after the ONS, now sadly corrupted, published their routine stats for 1st week June 2020 which showed that fewer people in London had died in the previous week than in the five year average despite the ever rising numbers of ‘cases’.
As clever people here at LS pointed out at the time, you cannot die of Covid in March and then die again in June from whatever underlying cause was going to kill you in June (statistically) anyway.
At that point it was obvious that the ‘worst’ was over and, as the same trend spread across the country, bozo should have declared Victory and become a National Treasure ×Two after Brexit.
As mentioned previously, I have it in writing from the DHSC, in an attempt to reassure me now that my status as ‘shielding’ has been rescinded (not that I ever did shield).
“While cases are rising the number of people getting very ill, going into hospital or dying are not . . “.
The Satanists in charge are not concerned about that. They’d only be concerned by falling case numbers, which would signal more difficult times ahead for the Big Lie.
Sincerely hope this is not hesitancy but adamancy.
Indeed, great news. My 12 year old has an “unplanned ” sick day November 3rd, fab-jab-day.
Curious, what are the current theories for the apparently worryingly high number of infections in this age cohort?
I know it’s irrelevant, but I am pondering if this is yet another hysterical media driven COVID sentiment
Is 8% really higher than the background infection rate nationally across all demographics?
And if testing numbers were consistent across the population, would there be anything of note here?
Is Delta affecting a younger demographic in higher numbers?
I am going to start digging, but was simply curious what others though?
Cheers all
Dave
Well for what it’s worth, my observation (in a large school) is that quite large numbers of students are indeed poorly with cold-like symptoms (my own kids included right now) that could just as easily be colds (clinically identical in this age group). This leads to increased testing and inevitably some return positive results, with all of the unnecessary nonsense that entails. Of course our despotic masters want high infection rates in this cohort to support their evil vaccination plans; the mere presence of abundant testing kits and fear mongering is enough to secure this at this time of year in school contexts.
School version of freshers flu.
Indeed. The crisis edition thereof.
Lowest case counts in the least vaccinated areas. Could be herd immunity.
But numbers going up elsewhere could be a sign we’re at the beginning of the post first dose spike, that was predicted months ago.
These are kids whose immune systems haven’t been seriously challenged for over a year, it is no surprise that they are catching stuff.
“The worst” implies that jabbing these young children is a good thing, when it clearly isn’t. Barking & Dagenham have the BEST rates of jabbing youngsters, not the worst. Much better use of language needs to be achieved.
You echo my thoughts.
Doesn’t the choice of words tell you everything you need to know: The Mail thinks the more jabbed the better!
As I understand it, myocarditis is but one possible adverse reaction, and the Yellow Card and VAERS data shows that quite a lot of other things can happen, to all ages and both sexes.
Apart from the possibility, however “rare”, of being made very ill very quickly, with possible long-term damage from that, it is still the case that no-one on the “dishing out” side has the faintest idea of what long-term effects over months and years may arise. If they do, they aren’t telling the guinea-pigs, or, more properly, lemmings.
Absolutely – ‘concerns about myocarditis’ is almost the straw man that they can constantly refer to as the numbers of confirmed instances appear quite small. If on the other hand they were to say – truthfully – that about 60% of people who are jabbed developed blood clots, well that might take people think twice.
This data will be used when the winter scare is here to force vaccine passports on England.
Yay, good news.
Well done parents and children. This is not easy, but keep resisting!
My neighbour doesn’t want her 15 year old daughter to have the jab, yet daughter does because her 18 year old sister has told her she has to have the jab…
The young are so easily brainwashed.
Why do the least vaccinated areas equal the lowest current case rates? ( Orkney and Shetland excluded )
Newham
Lewisham
Tower Hamlets
Barking etc..
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases
Screen grab just as an example..
Option 1: The tests are picking up the pathogenic “vaccine” spikes as false-positives.
Option 2: The vaccine is decimating the immune system, and the odd stray SARS-CoV-2 particle (that the immune system would normally deal with) results in an infection.
It could be showing strong herd immunity in these areas too.
When they’ve had no Covid they can only go on what the media feed them. Those in London have stared it in the face and have seen its not worth a shite.
Likewise where I live in the midlands. In north Devon at the moment and it is bed wetter central…
Maybe those who realise they don’t need the injections also realise they don’t need to keep testing themselves to know they are not sick.
‘The three worst areas for England and the U.K. are in London.’
Au contraire
The three best areas for England and the U.K are in London
I think a few of us have noted this misuse f language!
“The three worst areas for England and the U.K….”
I thought I’d point out this mis-print : ‘best‘ for ‘worst’.
Yep. Best is worst. Worst is best. Black is white. Up is down. Life in the New Normal.
Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
Remember, everything is inverted now!

SNP ‘s destruction of the once outstanding education Scottish system continues apace.

Yes, please spare a thought for those of us north of the border. There is no sign of any light at the end of the tunnel, or even of a tunnel to start with.
As in the days of Braveheart.
Following the resignation of Robert Dingwall, who was reported to be opposed to the vaccination of children, and three others from the Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the JCVI still persisted in voting against the proposal to vaccinate children aged 12-15 on the basis that the risks outweigh the rewards https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/revealed-robert-dingwall-axed-as-government-advisor. However, the government overrode this advice and children are now being vaccinated. Why was advice ignored? What is more, these young children are being vaccinated without the need for parental consent. This is wholly without precedent in the UK. ONS data shows that there has been a 47% rise in all cause deaths amongst teenagers aged 15-19 since vaccination of this age group commenced, compared with the same period in 2020, the rise also coinciding precisely with the start of vaccination. The rise in deaths for teenage boys is 63%.
from my go to bible of vaccine safety….
https://www.independentinformation.co.uk/resources/articles/covid-vaccines-safe-effective
I can’t believe that more parents with a half functioning brain aren’t finding this fact just a little bit strange, worrying and suspicious. A testament to the efficacy of the huge, expensive psyop performed on the country. A large chunk of society have been morphed into docile, subservient sheep!
“ONS data shows that there has been a 47% rise in all cause deaths amongst teenagers aged 15-19 since vaccination of this age group commenced, compared with the same period in 2020, the rise also coinciding precisely with the start of vaccination. The rise in deaths for teenage boys is 63%.”
Those are powerful figures indeed and the exact source and working are needed.
Not sure, but I believe Dr McCouloogch and an associate had a peer reviewed paper showing a large increase in heart problems in vaccinated young men. This paper has been ‘temporarily’ pulled with no explanation – leaving most to suspect interference from the highly influential (and funding) pharma industry – after they have the most to lose….
lets face it, when the data and actual science interfere with the more profitable ‘the science’ then the ‘follow the money’ wins

Not sure?
The incidence of myocarditis following COVID vaccination, especially in young men has been major news for months, and is referenced in almost literally any discussion of COVID vaccination in the young.
It’s about as hushed up as Coca-Cola.
For example, here’s;
The UK Government talking about it in Aug

Glad to see my old stomping ground is red. Clearly red is predominantly sane and sceptical folk and green is full of fannies and unfit parents!
Ha ha, I was just thinking the same!
While in most cases the condition is mild, scientists do not know the long term implications. …of the vaccines.
There! Finished the sentence for you. Seems like the whole bloody article needs a complete re-write!
The great majority of these articles are wet. There’s nothing stridently sceptical about them at all. Most are just a rehash of MSM propaganda. Afraid to cross the line of those looking from afar. I’m pretty disappointed, but not surprised, its par for the course..
Very encouraging!
We went to see our daughter yesterday at one of the top universities in the country. She’s in her first year.
The bad news is that they have to wear mask in lectures, tutorials and pretty much everywhere on campus. Also, they have to show a negative test within the previous 48 hours in order to access any Uni social activities. There are very visible large testing facilities all over the campus. The magic money tree hasn’t been toppled yet!
The good news is that she says not one of her peers is scared of Covid in the slightest. They know that its all just theatre.
I managed to ‘file’ two signs in the bin whilst there. It’s an ongoing mission of mine to rid the world of such propaganda. I’ve now extended my sign crusade to removing other signs I see that are of the nanny state variety telling us what to do.
Onward and upwards…
Easy to say when you’ve no cost.
If they brought in a vaccine mandate, for something she believes is theatre, how would she react? It’s coming, prepare mentally. Pick a side.
I’m sure that you mean well and normally I don’t react to such statements but this time I will as you’ve touched a raw nerve/wound. Apologies if my response is harsh.
I picked my side in April 2020 when John Ioanndis’ came out with his low IFR estimate, i.e, in line with bad flu. I mistakenly believed that the world would then rapidly come to its senses with such a well respected academic coming out with this information. How wrong I was.
I’m sure everyone on here, and most in society, have paid for this shitshow in so many ways.
I had to close my business last year due to this shitshow. That hurt lots and still does. I’d built it up over a number of years, it was going brilliantly too. My marriage also came very close to ending, but thankfully it didn’t.
One ray of light was our daughter doing very well at school and getting into the Uni of her choice. I’m so dreadfully sorry that her generation have paid such a heavy price and continue to do so.
Please be assured that we are well prepared mentally, physically etc for how this may play out. I fear that its only a matter of time before England goes the way of AU, US, Italy with mandates etc. The blob is not going to give up easily.
I was just trying to be a little positive/light with my original post. God knows the dips on this rollercoaster can be deep and prolonged ….
Again, apologies if this is harsh.
Us Sceptics need to stick together.
All the best.
Ha ha! I similarly filed most of the signage in my smallish town under the same category!
In my town (and another one nearby) there appears to be an active ‘sticker resistance’ group – throughout the past 18 months they’ve been putting sarcastic stickers (generally both accurate and amusing) on the Covidian signage. There’s been an ongoing battle between the Covidians (who’ve been trying to keep removing them – the glue is obviously quite strong), and those who put the stickers there. As soon as they remove them, some more appear! Officious local authority signs seem to have been a particular target.
Stickers have been a real phenomenon throughout the ‘pandemic’ I remember seeing some very erudite and witty ones at the top of a desolate moor early in 2020; At one of the London protests I was amazed at the sheer number and variety. Vive le sticker!
Slavish compliance isn’t ‘encouraging’, I’m afraid.
The people of Barking aren’t so barking after all, it seems.
Myocarditis is never mild…. The incidence using VAERs data shows that the risk of death for boys from this mild & rare occurrence is 1 in 317….
Worth remembering the commonest cause of myocarditis is infection, particularly viral infection:
Myocarditis is rare, but when it occurs, it is most commonly caused by an infection in the body. Infections from viruses (most common, including those that cause the common cold, influenza or COVID-19), bacteria, fungus or parasites can lead to myocardial inflammation.
You keep parroting the official line – perhaps you’re on the wrong site?
Oh, and you’re ignoring the mysterious rise in the numbers of teenage deaths, but that doesn’t tally with the narrative, does it!?
You keep parroting the official line – perhaps you’re on the wrong site?
Is this site only for people who parrot the sceptic line?
Oh, and you’re ignoring the mysterious rise in the numbers of teenage deaths, but that doesn’t tally with the narrative, does it!?
Myocarditis is one specific, well documented, possible side effect from the vaccines. It couldn’t possibly account for a noticeable increase in all cause mortality among teenagers – the numbers just aren’t big enough.
“people who parrot the sceptic line?”
But there isn’t a single sceptic line: for examplethere’s a huge gulf between people who believe – or claim to believe – that this is just down to cock-up after cock-up after cock-up and those who see something deeply malign in the response of so many governments to what is objectively a minor health threat, not the 21st century Black Death.
There’s another huge gulf between people who believe the desire to jab us all several times with experimental gunk is simply about control, and those who believe it’s about control and depopulation.
But it definitely isn’t a site for people who believe what they’re told by obvious crooks.
Regarding your observations about differing opinion on the clot shot: I would say that this site shows a range between those who, like Toby, will argue against lockdown while supporting the ‘vaccine’, as opposed to those (including myself) who say the jab is the facilitator to the social credit system and depopulation.
The gulf in views is, as you say, huge.
‘Myocarditis is one specific, well documented, possible side effect from the vaccines. It couldn’t possibly account for a noticeable increase in all cause mortality among teenagers – the numbers just aren’t big enough.’
The experimental jabs don’t have just one side effect, do they?
You know that – but again, you peddle the narrative. A cynical person might suspect you’re 77th.
I have no doubt there’s many 77th floating around this site. Many acting as if they’re partial sceptics themselves so to avoid standing out too much. After all, their goal is to influence and try to subvert.
What utter rubbish. There is not a single sceptic line.
Sceptical means not being easily convinced, having doubts or reservations. It doesn’t mean being certain that any particular position is absolutely wrong.It is the agnostic view.
I am concerned that the story we are told by the government has changed on a regular basis. There are numerous examples where we have been lied to and dissenting views have been suppressed, only to be resurrected months later when new evidence appears.
The closest thing to a single sceptic theme is that the Government lies. If that doesn’t make you ask questions then that does make you gullible.
“Myocarditis is one specific, well documented, possible side effect”
That’s correct – except for the ‘possible’, which is pretty certain. It is only the tip of the iceberg.
This upset a lot of people.
I don’t think that people on this site “parrot the sceptic line” in the sense of all agreeing on every aspect. However, the vast majority agree on most aspects of lockdowns, vaccines, testing, ivermectin, mask wearing, seasonality etc. Whether you call that “parroting or not” is by the way. But there is also diversity in what you might call the official line – for example, Dr John Campbell thinks we should be taking Ivermectin, Tim Spector thinks lockdowns were not very effective . The JVCI recommends not vaccinating children. I don’t think cloth masks are very useful but surgical masks in the right context make a difference.
My main point is do you really want to discourage people who disagree with the majority view from visiting this site and commenting?
Why haven’t we seen an increase in teenage myocarditis from COVID?
Because the numbers are so small from any cause (vaccine, Covid, other viruses) they don’t show up.
One death for every 29,000 people vaccinated isn’t a small effect.
Nor is one Yellow Card for every 132 people vaccinated.
I don’t fancy those odds in comparison to the tiny and ever diminishing threat of death or life changing injury from the actual virus.
Especially now I’ve actually had the virus.
We are talking a cross purposes. I was talking about the number of cases of myocarditis not the number of adverse reactions to vaccination – which is a whole different debate.
Oh well, they tried, moving on…..
Is Nicola telling porkies?
Are her lips moving? Oh, bother, you can’t tell through the tartan knickers.
Makes sense the rates are higher in Scotland, was wondering why they had so much death.
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/scotland-is-87-adult-vaccinated-weekly
Even excluding Covid deaths they were almost 20% above normal for the most recent week, and the trend is rising.
20 straight weeks of excess deaths.
Nothing to see here, folks. (Though even the BBC is now asking questions.)
Death rate in Scotland higher than any time in the last 48 years, by over 20% margin for several weeks now. Compared to previous years, week 40 total deaths 30% higher than 2015-2019 average. 1353 as opposed to 1038.
Causes of death week 40:
Circulatory up 15%,
cancers up 14%,
dementia up 26% (wonder if that one is convenient to fudge figures for primary cause of death, or were they just euthanised?).
“Other” is up 37%.
“covid” is a mere 7% of the total, less than any other cause of death.
Queen Nicola must surely be quaking in her high heels, those figures indicate a massive problem. Meanwhile kids are still being jabbed. But not mine.
Covid insanity = lethality all round.
Wee Krankie’s Scotland has crashed and burned more spectacularly than even England.
Can’t be true. They wear face knickers. If you wear face knickers you are saaaaaafe,
What the hell is going on in Scotland?! Their adherence to madness as very alarming.
what has happened to; Scotland, Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and England – the jobs fcuked
Only the Yanks can get us out of this mess now (once they’ve buried Biden’s handlers)
Deja Vu….
Since I read this I’ve been even more concerned about what is going on in schools… https://medium.com/id2020/immunization-an-entry-point-for-digital-identity-ea37d9c3b77e
The main problem is, kids already carry tracking devices with them, called smartphones. If the agenda is digital identity, kids probably have a “head-start” in this headlong rush into the Brave New World that may eventually enslave them.
But if this was the aim something’s gone badly wrong hasn’t it (from their perspective) if they’d have played their pandemic cards right, parents would have been falling over themselves to have their children jabbed. So something about the plan hasn’t worked; or division itself was the plan…. Wish I knew what the plan was!
Meanwhile in California, 40% of the state employees haven’t been vaxxed despite the governor’s order https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/kitten-corner-california-employees/comments I thought for a moment it was citing the Babylon Bee but actually it’s the Sacramento Bee.
My wife tells me to stop obsessing about this stuff, we came to Florida to escape this. She is correct, its going to do my head in. But when you see so obviously proof of the madness of the world, its hard not to get involved however minor your involvement.
Could Valneva be a route out of this? I don’t advocate any jab for a cold, but one that is more or less conventional with proper T-cell response that lasts maybe offers a way out for everyone on both sides of this shit show.
In case you haven’t seen this –
Ah love it! Well done DeSantis – you held your nerve when a few months back “experts” were asking for your head!! Well played sir!
Yes I saw it. And its wonderful!
However it has to said that a large majority of the population south of Tampa are vaxed. So although there were no mandates or coercion by the State, most ‘red’ voters on the Gulf Coast took the jab. Much more resistance in the panhandle.
There is no way out that accepts the myths.
Sadly the Valneva jab is not available in the UK – even though it is produced in Scotland. crazy!!!!
It seems there is even vaccine apartheid and vaccine inequity, with several countries not approving certain ‘brands’ or versions.
The EU vax certificate only approves Pfizer, Moderna, J&J and some AZ – but not AZ produced in India, nor vaccines manufactured in China or Russia.
To further muddy the waters:
”Individual EU countries are free to apply their own rules for travelers from inside and outside the bloc, and their rules vary widely, creating further confusion for tourists. Several EU countries, including Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, allow people to enter if they have had non-EU-endorsed vaccines; several others, including France and Italy, don’t.”

Just imagine, turning up at the border / airport / port / checkpoint Charlie and being denied entry or exit because one is wearing the ‘wrong trousers’ (Wallace and Gromit techno trousers for the uninitiated
).
Many individuals have bared their arms to be jabbed in order to save others, then potentially could be told their gesture was pointless and not recognised…
For me, irrespective of whatever version or brand is ‘offered’ I will continue to decline, politely or otherwise.
‘The three worst areas for England and the U.K. are ... ‘
Surely, the three BEST areas are … ?
Great news that kids aren’t being infected by this experimental genetic experiment.
We should acknowledge the part played by this young man who has used his his musical talent to reach out to youngsters at schools across London. Together with his dedicated band of followers, he has been campaigning tirelessly for months and has faced abuse and arrest. He is a hero of our times. Please watch.

It seems there’s a link between “woke” and the experimental jabs.

The Scottish nation appears to have a death wish.
There is no Scottish nation in the sense that there’s an English nation
Indeed, there is historically. Both currently subsumed in the UK.
Never heard of ‘the union of the crowns’ and the Act of Union etc.? It’s a two-way street.
Nope: no dominant historical population group, while in England the lowland English vastly outnumber all of the others.
The same applies to the Welsh, but with a significant minority language supplying a further division.
There most certainly is. And I’d add climate change to the mix there too.
Good news that take up rates are low – but given the latest data from the ONS I don’t understand why anyone is getting vaccinated. Look at Table 2of the link below. I have posted in the data from the last two columns which give the rates per population of positive cases. Unless you’re younger than 30, in which case you’re not at risk of getting ill from Covid19, you are at much greater risk if you’ve been vaccinated than if not.
See https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1025358/Vaccine-surveillance-report-week-41.pdf
partic Table 2, p13. the last 2 columns show it all.

Off topic I know, but; Burn in Hell Colin Powell, you lying, warmongering piece of filth.
Maximum Vaccination
The vaccines can’t control Corona, which is why they won’t stop vaccinating.
https://eugyppius.substack.com/p/maximum-vaccination
Well done, everyone on the red list!
The other day, the daily newspaper for Norfolk was enthusing about how busy the injecting of 12-15 year olds was. Today it reports that “only” one in five have been so treated.
I pray parents will not allow their children to get the experimental biologicals until all studies are complete. The number of cases of myocarditis is eye watering. Recent deaths of school age children post vaxx now appearing. Please do not vaxx your children at this time.
There is a high resistance to child vaccination in Newcastle. This cannot be written off as being ignorant people or recent immigrants; I drove past a protest by the Central Motorway the other day that seemed to be all middle class white people. Their posters were specifically opposing child vaccination.
In the last sentence, I would replace “worst” with “best”, then that would be reasonable (the best areas for England are in London..). They are wise enough to avoid them altogether. Good luck to them.
Hmm, those Scotch areas are the huWhitest and most “Liberal” “Democratic”. I’m trying not to read too much into that.
You know that’s because most of us are still waiting for our schools to start rolling out vaccinations for 12+, not due to hesitancy about the vaccine.
