Abandon Ridiculous Two-Metre Rule
I’ve written a piece in today’s Telegraph entitled: “For the sake of our economy, we need to scrap the absurd two-metre rule.” I point out that this and other over-cautious social-distancing rules will mean our economy is permanently stuck in second gear.
For most shops, the only way to keep customers six feet apart will be to introduce cumbersome one-way systems and force them to queue up outside. All very well when the only retail outlets we’re talking about are supermarkets and newsagents, but how will people observe that rule on the pavement when there are queues outside every shop?
For pubs and restaurants, due to reopen on July 4th, the two-metre rule will mean that many of them can’t resume trading and those that can will be forced to operate at less than 50% capacity.
I also point out that there’s no scientific basis for the rule.
What’s so absurd about this measure, which will decimate the hospitality trade, is that there’s no obvious scientific basis for it and many countries are much more relaxed. In South Korea, for instance, the acceptable distance in 1.4 metres, and in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and France, people are only expected to stay one metre apart.
Indeed, the World Health Organisation says a distance of one metre is more than sufficient. In Sweden, which has had fewer deaths per million than the UK in spite of not locking down formally, there is no hard-and-fast rule. People are just expected to use their common sense.
Boris Johnson is reported to be reconsidering the two-metre rule. Worth reading in full, Prime Minister.
SAGE Member Does U-Turn on Lockdown
No, it’s not what you think. Yesterday, a member of SAGE gave a press conference in which he warned that the Government was easting lockdown too fast. This is how it was reported on the BBC News website:
A scientist on the UK Government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has suggested he does not agree with easing the lockdown at this stage.
In a briefing to health journalists Prof John Edmunds, from the London School of Tropical Hygiene and Medicine, said that 8,000 new infections a day in England, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics, was “a very high incidence” level.
“Many of us would prefer to see incidence down to lower levels before we relax measures,” he said.
He said that with an “untested” test and trace system “we are taking some risk here” and “even if we keep it flat, that’s still quite a level”.
“Lifting the lockdown is a political decision. Lifting it now, means we’re keeping incidence at this level,” he added.
The Labour MP Richard Burgon was so over-excited by this news, he linked to the BBC report and tweeted the following: “So the Government is no longer following the science. It’s a political decision and we can’t trust this Government to make the right decisions with public safety.”
But hang on a second. Is this the same Professor John Edmunds who told Channel 4 News on March 13th that “the only way to stop this epidemic is indeed to achieve herd immunity”?
I guess he’s changed his mind.
Nobel Laureate Skewers Member of Imperial College Modelling Team
A few days ago I linked to a fantastic webinar, organised out of Brazil, in which a group of scientists discussed the reliability of predications generated by epidemiological computer models and whether those predictions should be used as the basis for government responses to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Among the participants were Michael Levitt, Professor of Structural Biology at Stanford and the winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, and Samir Bhatt, a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial’s School of Public Health.
One of my concerns as I’ve watched the British Government’s disastrous mishandling of this crisis unfold is that the people behind the Imperial College modelling that informed so much of the Government’s response will never be properly held to account. This webinar, in which Michael Levitt cross-examines Samir Bhatt, may be the closest we ever get.
If you have the time, I urge you to watch the whole thing. But if you don’t, watch it from the two-hour point onwards, in which Levitt begins to lose patience with the dissembling Bhatt. A reader has very kindly made a transcript of this part of the exchange. My favourite part is when Levitt – beginning to get angry – lays the blame for the coming global recession at the door of the Imperial College modelling team, whom he thinks wildly over-estimated the deadliness of the disease. “That is an error that has cost the world many, many trillions of dollars, but it isn’t a joke. I mean an error like that is not a small error,” he says.
Michael Levitt: I’m concerned by, there’s been a massive communications gap here and you know one question that I did raise which Rui didn’t pick up, is I’ve noticed that for example, that epidemiologists and I’m not talking about you guys, don’t think anything wrong about being a factor of 10 too high but are dead scared to be a factor of 10% too low.
I mean the number of deaths caused by lockdown is way higher than anything that will be caused by Covid, unless you assume exponential growth, forever. So, therefore this is a price that the world is paying for this asymmetry. In other words, I don’t know how we handle it, you know.
Sweden is not locked down. You guys are going to have a very hard time when Sweden plateaus at 6,000 deaths, which is 0.06, 0.6 per 100,000, and you can say well they social distance, they’re Scandinavians, they’re cold, there’s high population density. But, you know, the fact remains that the plateau rate of population reached by England, New York City, Lombardy, France is basically around one month of natural death. Ferguson said a year of natural death. That is horrible. That is an error that has cost the world many, many trillions of dollars, but it isn’t a joke. I mean an error like that is not a small error.
Now you could say, oh it’s our intervention, we intervened, Sweden intervened by itself, Italy was a very intervened country. Anyone who believes that Iran intervened is crazy.
Certain countries, there’s no doubt that the one place where there’s beautiful intervention is a part of China I call non-Hubei China…
In Hubei, the Chinese were out of control, but out of Hubei the epidemic is the most beautiful Gompertz function. It was so beautiful that everyone said they must have hacked my computer, except that New Zealand has the same distribution and other countries do as well. So I am trying to understand this.
There’s no doubt that once lockdown has been forced, everyone’s going to believe it was a good thing because otherwise why did we need to do it? But there’s no evidence for it.
Samir Bhatti: It’s not about believing if it’s a good thing. What mechanism do you conjecture for the plateauing of death in the UK that’s not lockdown?
ML: It reached one in a thousand. It’s nothing to do with lockdown. The UK policy led to early saturation. The whole country was infected before lockdown was done. The same thing was true of New York.
SB: No serological data supports this hypothesis.
ML: This is going to saturate at 20% serology. We know that already. You know this assumption that 80% based on R0 is basically nonsense. You guys don’t know what you’re doing to yourselves. You guys are going to end up being responsible for a hundred billion dollar crisis to the world and this is not funny.
And you start to use clean terminology. Don’t estimate herd immunity from an R0 value, which is completely meaningless. If the R0 value is 1.3 then I get saturation at 25%. The Diamond Princess, this wonderful experiment, saturated at 25% and you can say, “Oh, it was such good lockdown. We had shared air conditioning, it was an aged population.”
It doesn’t work. In other words, there needs to be sanity checks. Sanity checks come from looking at the data.
SB: OK so we’re going to talk about the data then. So you’re hypothesis is that infection fatality rate is much lower, everyone has been infected, that’s what caused the curve to bend. A massive serological study occurred just now in Spain, suggesting that with the 28,000 deaths, 5% of the population has been infected based on serology.
ML: And I think we’ve seen that the serological studies have serious shortcomings. We’re now seeing signs there may be T cell receptors.
Daily Mail Guide to Having a Socially Distanced BBQ
This illustration is in today’s Daily Mail, based on advice from Professor Patricia Riddell, a Professor of Psychology at the University of Reading.
Prof Riddell recommended asking guests to bring their own cutlery, plates and condiments to reduce the risk of virus transmission through touching the same surfaces, and having only one person using the tongs.
She also endorsed serving food on plates from a distance rather than everyone approaching the grill, setting out seats in advance for people to sit two metres apart, and sitting alongside each other rather than face to face.
Can’t say it looks like a barrel of laughs. Bagsy not sit next to the guy with the guitar.
Brazilian Scientists Challenge Concept of “the Science”, Defend Hydroxychloroquine
A group of more than 25 Brazilian scientists have written an open letter, questioning the idea that indiscriminately locking down whole populations, as well as other responses to the pandemic, is supported by “the science”. In particular, it challenges the idea that “the science” has concluded hydroxychloroquine shouldn’t be used to treat patients with COVID-19.
The letter has been coordinated by Marcos Nogueira Eberlin. He’s a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and holds a PhD in chemistry from the University of Campinas. Founder of the Thomson Mass Spectrometry Laboratory and winner of the prestigious Thomson Medal (2016), Eberlin is recognized worldwide as one of the most productive mass spectrometrists ever, having published close to 1,000 scientific articles. He discovered the Eberlin Reaction during his work on gas phase ion chemistry, and he and his research group introduced EASI (Easy Ambient Sonic-spray Ionization), an ionization technique used in mass spectrometry. In other words, a highly-respected, mainstream scientist.
It’s not the usual dry, scholarly dirge, but an angry, impassioned screed. (The caps haven’t been added by me.) I’m going to quote the opening few paragraphs in full because they’re so good.
During this pandemic, the term “science” has been used “ad nauseam”, that is, has been repeated to exhaustion: “Science, science, science”, “I’m pro-science”, “For from the science, through the science and to the science I guide my decisions and acts” and “I am, therefore, fully right to do so”. It is clear that the intention here is to lead all of us to the idea of decisions based on something unquestionable and infallible, as scientific as law, as the law of gravity.
Groups of “science experts” or famous YouTube scientists, many of them still “beginners” in science, some of them with a minimal or no experience in fighting pandemics, are selected by the establishment and the media to give “scientific aura” for the lockdown and the condemnation of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as an ineffective drug; worse, as a deadly poison.
That disastrous apocalyptic simulations from the “Imperial College” – this pompous name that brings us to the idea of a center of excellence of infallible, omnipotent and unquestionable knowledge, an “College of the Empire” – are being used to place everyone at home, and then, to compare data as being the absolute reference of the truth. “We did something and as a result, we reduced those many deaths. Therefore: ‘blessed be the science!’”.
But what kind of “science” is that to which they are appealing? And who, in the name of this “science”, would be allowed to speak? Science (I know that there are controversies, as scientists even debate on its meaning) is “the dispassionate search for the truth about the Universe and life”. But ironically, we seek truths that we don’t even know what those truths would be like, or where they would be found. For this reason, sometimes, ironically, even when scientists find a truth that is indeed true, yet they doubt that they have found it. We literally zigzag in the dark, searching for solutions to our problems. Therefore, we sometimes say that: “eating eggs is bad, it increases cholesterol”; and sometimes: “eggs are good, eat at ease”.
Richard Feynman put it this way: “Science is the culture of doubt”. And I would add, “science is the culture of debate, of divergence of opinions”.
Rarely, there are situations in which we reach consensus in science, even a momentary consensus. Some defend the “Big Bang” and the theory of evolution, others, including myself, are skeptical of them. Some defend with data and papers the central role of men in global warming, others defend, with the same data and papers, that human activity is irrelevant. Scientists are human beings, therefore, skeptics and enquirers who can and should speak for themselves, like all scientists have the right to do, but NEVER A SCIENTIST OR A GROUP OF THEM CAN DECLARE TO BE AUTHORIZED TO SPEAK IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE!
Nobody, absolutely nobody is allowed to speak for science or declare that he is “been guided” by science! In times of pandemic, this impossibility is even greater, as we face an unknown enemy. Data is still being collected and researches are being performed and published by scientists divided by their worldviews, and by their political and party preferences.
Whoever said he acted in the name of science, dishonestly usurped science prestige. For what type of “science” is this, unanimous and consensual, that no one has ever heard of? Could someone give me its address so I can confirm its consent? Its phone, email and WhatsApp?
For defenders of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), the next section is manna from heaven, ripping apart the studies that purport to show it’s ineffective or, worse, dangerous.
The Manaus’ study with chloroquine (CQ) performed here in Brazil and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) [1], is emblematic to this discussion of “science”. Scientists there used, the manuscript reveals, lethal doses in debilitated patients, many in severe conditions and with comorbidities. The profiles of the groups do not seem to have been “randomized”, since a clear “preference” in the HIGH DOSE group for risk factors is noted. Chloroquine, which is more toxic than HCQ, was used, and it seems that they even made “childish mistakes” in simple stoichiometric calculations, doubling the dosage with the error. I’m incapable of judging intentions, but justice will do it. The former Brazilian Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta quoted this study, supported it, and based on it, categorically stated: “I do not approve HCQ because I am based on ‘science, science, science’!”.
Definitely worth reading in full.
Incidentally, the recent HCQ study in the Lancet that led to the worldwide suspension of clinical trials of the drug and hospitals around the world yanking it from their treatment protocols has been criticised in another open letter signed by a group of scientists, this one addressed to Richard Horton, the Editor of the Lancet. It’s not quite as angry as the Brazilian letter, but almost. Also worth reading in full.
Trump Terminates the WHO
Donald Trump has said he’s “terminating” America’s relationship with the World Health Organisation (WHO), having already said the international body will get no more US funding.
The US president cited the body’s ties to Beijing as he made the announcement yesterday, saying: “China has total control over the World Health Organisation.”
Does this mean we’ll now be able to challenge some of the WHO’s wilder claims about the virus on YouTube? Interestingly, the WHO has just done another U-turn – is this number 657? – recommending against the wearing of masks.
As I’ve said before, if you’re the YouTube employee in charge of removing any content that contradicts the WHO’s recommendations about how to stay safe, keeping up with the organisation’s constant flip flops must be a nightmare.
Church Leaders Threaten Government With Judicial Review if Churches Aren’t Allowed to Reopen
A coalition of church leaders has written to the Government, threatening a Judicial Review if the ban on churches opening isn’t lifted. The pre-action letter supported by Christian Concern and the Christian Legal Centre argues that blanket ‘lockdown’ restrictions imposed on all churches are both unlawful and unnecessary, and asks the Government to prioritise the re-opening of churches as part of its exit-strategy.
The letter, which you can read here, says the blanket ban is disproportionate, given that lots of churches closed voluntarily and those that remained opened introduced social distancing measures. It also makes the argument that the ban contravenes the separation of church and state:
While the short-term practical difference between state regulation and church self-regulation may be limited in present circumstances, the principle of Church autonomy is extremely important in the broader constitutional context, and must be protected for the benefit of present and future generations.
Among the list of 24 claimants requesting an urgent meeting with the Government to discuss lifting the ban are Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, President, Oxford Centre for Training, Research, Advocacy and Dialogue (OXTRAD); Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, Senior Pastor, Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC); and Revd. Dr David Hathaway, President of the Eurovision Mission to Europe.
Pastor Ade Omooba MBE, Christian Concern’s co-founder and one of the claimants in the letter, says:
It cannot be right that at present it is lawful to go to a bike shop, B&Q, visit a chiropractor or dry cleaner, and not be allowed to receive Holy Communion or engage in silent prayer in a church.
Similar legal challenges have been successful in other countries. Last week, France’s Supreme Court ruled that the French Government’s absolute ban on religious gatherings as part of its lockdown restrictions is unlawful, and ordered the Government to relax restrictions on religious worship.
The Government should lift the ban immediately or face the consequences.
Government Publishes Chart That Inadvertently Discredits its Own Policy
The Cabinet Office Briefing Room issued a chart yesterday (see above) showing that the Government’s first “test” – “We must be confident that we are able to provide sufficient critical care and specialist treatment right across the UK,” in the words of the Prime Minister – has been met. This was part of the rationale for allowing up to six people from different households to meet up from June 1st.
But look closely at the chart and you’ll see that in the small print on the left-hand side is says occupancy of mechanical ventilator beds in the NHS peaked on April 10th at 41%. In other words, the risk of the NHS’s critical care capacity being overwhelmed – something flagged up in Neil Ferguson’s March 16th paper and one of the key reasons for locking down the country on March 23rd – was exaggerated. We didn’t need to remain in our homes to “Protect the NHS” after all.
Another embarrassing implication of that number – only 41% of the NHS’s ventilators used – is that it makes a mockery of the Government’s wartime-style drive to manufacture more ventilators. Just as well, since the entire effort – dubbed the “ventilator challenge” – was a fiasco from start to finish. Not that it would have mattered if there had been a shortage and the “challenge” was a success, since ventilators are almost completely useless when it comes to treating patients with COVID-19.
Six Reasons the Cure is Worse Than the Disease
In the latest anti-lockdown jeremiad by Professor Ramesh Thakur, the former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations lists six reasons why the official response to the pandemic will end up causing more harm that it has prevented:
- Lockdowns will have a negative impact on mental health and lead to more suicides.
- With elective surgeries and routine screenings suspended, many diseases that would be treatable if caught in time will end up killing hundreds of thousands.
- People have been so terrorised by the propaganda unleashed by governments around the world that people requiring crucial care have refused to go to hospital, whether through fear of catching the virus, or because being good citizens they don’t want to trouble a badly over-burdened health system.
- The lockdowns reduced the amount of time people spent in the fresh air and sunshine, with some people being cooped up in high-risk environments like congested living complexes.
- Elderly hospital patients infected with COVID-19 were discharged into care and nursing homes to deadly effect, accounting for more than half of all Covid deaths.
- The deadliest impact of the lockdowns will be on the world’s poorest billion people over the next decade along multiple sub-pathways.

Rioters in Minneapolis Comply With Mayor’s Order to Wear Face Masks in Shopping Malls
I got an email from a reader in Minneapolis yesterday, the American city that was set ablaze by rioters on Tuesday night following the death in police custody of George Floyd, a 46 year-old African-American, and has been burning ever since.
We’ve been a bit busy here in Minneapolis dealing with the city being burned down around us. It was oddly relaxing to think about Chinese viruses. All of the businesses I service – my customers – are either in ashes, boarded up or looted.
Here is the joke: Why did Minneapolis police stand by and watch the looters and arsonists destroy hundreds of businesses? Because the looters were complying with the Mayor’s order to wear a mask inside retail establishments.
Interestingly, that order took effect Tuesday at 5p.m. When did the rioting start? Tuesday evening….
Round-Up
And on to the round-up of all the stories I’ve noticed, or which have been been brought to my attention, in the last 24 hours:
- ‘YouTube Cancels Another Video for Coronavirus Wrongthink‘ – James Delingpole Ridicules YouTube for censoring my video making the case against lockdowns
- ‘The Delingpod: James Delingpole Interviews Professor Dolores Cahill‘ – A double-helping from James today. In this one he interviews the dissident Irish virologist
- ‘Scots pensioner went for five days without food because she was scared to leave her flat during lockdown‘ – We’ll be hearing a lot more stories like this unfortunately
- ‘The lockdown’s founding myth‘ – Excellent reporting job by Christopher Snowdon in the Critic, thoroughly debunking the narrative that has the Government initially ignoring scientific advice about locking down the country and only reluctantly agreeing to do it once it had paid attention to “the science”
- ‘Two thirds of people contacted through tracing did not fully cooperate, pilot scheme finds‘ – Report in the BMJ about a pilot ‘test-and-trace’ scheme in Sheffield in which two-thirds of the people contacted refused to cooperate. Why then roll it out nationally?
- ‘Monkeys ‘escape with COVID-19 samples’ after attacking lab assistant‘ – No, not the plot line from the next Planet of the Apes sequel. This actually happened yesterday in India. Are these monkeys available to take over from Boris and pals?
- ‘Why most Covid-19 deaths won’t be from the virus‘ – Excellent piece for BBC Future by Zaria Gorvett summarising the case against lockdowns. Welcome to the club, Zaria
- ‘Scientists are intrigued by lack of lockdown looting‘ – The Times reports that the Government’s scientific advisors have expressed surprise over the lack of rioting during the crisis. Let’s hope nothing happens to confirm their fears

Small Businesses That Have Reopened
A couple of weeks ago, Lockdown Sceptics launched a searchable directory of open businesses across the UK. The idea is to celebrate those retail and hospitality businesses that have reopened, as well as help people find out what has opened in their area. But we need your help to build it, so we’ve created a form you can fill out to tell us about those businesses that have opened near you. Please visit the page and let us know about those brave folk who are doing their bit to get our country back on its feet.

Biden is too stupid to conceal the nonsense.
But stupidity can be dangerous.
It is possible that he’s perfectly sincere, so addled is he, certainly equaling Trump in bumbling incompetence..
AT least Trump was fun and unpredictable. Biden just sticks to the same old bollocks.
Rick,
I think your downticks are for your comments about Trump which are – it must be said – unjust. Compared to Biden, Trump was a great president, and I say that as someone who wasn’t particularly keen on him. Biden is a complete disaster start to finish: he doesn’t know whether it’s Christmas or Easter – so there’s a snowball’s chance in hell he has the first idea about Covid and the ‘vaccines’.
Trump takes great personal credit for these ‘vaccines’ though. That should give people cause for concern.
I don’t know much about Biden though he does seem a bit dozy, but I’m sure his advisers know exactly what the real score is.
‘For the first time in history, the ineffectiveness of a drug is being blamed on those who haven’t taken it’
…
Biden’s dementia is the main cause of American economic retardation.
“Vaccine good.. I can remember that one… good, right?”
Biden was deliberately selected…as opposed to say Tulsi Gabbard
Here for Sunday fun the full basket of wokestein deplorables…[courtesy of Williambanzai7] via the Tylers
Tulsi Gabbard was head and shoulders above the other candidates but exposed the US’s nefarious involvement in Syria.
Agree. she also had a bit of a run-in with Hillary, after Clinton accused her of being a Russian stooge (couldn’t even be bothered to change the playbook and make up another country!) Gabbard was feeling mildly suicidal for a while but appears to have shaken herself out of it.
What a nobstyler. He’s creating the problems by licensing vaccine discrimination by major companies. Let’s hope the individual states kick his edicts into touch.
it can’t be too long before the health fascist nominally in charge reveals more straightforward “everything in the state, nothing against the state, nothing outside the state” laws to inflict upon the population.
Red paradise almost here! (Again!)
Biden’s policy is clearly “to fight China, you must become China”.
The guy has no choice — he’s set out his position and will be vilified once it is realised that his policies have made things worse and will make things worse still.
The problem here is the majority of the people, who seem to believe politicians. You’d have thought that they’d have worked it out by now, but no, they keep on believing them.
“will be vilified once it is realised that his policies have made things worse and will make things worse still.”
Vilified by some, sure. Though there are a % that will never, ever, stop voting D, doesn’t matter what they do. Before the election last year, I saw a couple of comments on social media – saying that Biden could viciously assault them, he could theoretically beat their own children to within an inch of their lives, and they would still vote for him over Trump.. no joke or sarcasm at all, I’ve no doubt these people were absolutely serious.
That makes total sense! Joe is a genius. Or his puppet masters are anyway.
I saw a good one a couple of days ago, claiming that a US boss had avoided mandatory vaccination of his staff by reducing the head count of his company to 99.
He said it was easier than he thought. He got rid of 19 vaccinated staff.
More lols. Do they ever stop? Biden can’t accuse the unjabbed of spreading covid because the jabbed do it just as well. He can’t accuse the unjabbed of cluttering up the hospitals, because the jabbed are doing that better (on account of actually being jabbed, it seems). So this approach is about all that’s left to him …
… until, of course, some economist points out that those companies/organisations who aren’t bothered about the jabs are the ones who are more successful, and it’s the others – state-run organisations mostly – who are failing.
That link is from 3rd of September.
Regardless, what a cretin!
The mass psychosis on display worldwide is staggering. Mandating a ‘vaccine’ that has been out for less than a year for a virus which has an IFR similar to flu is incredible.
FFS! Don’t roll up your sleeves like pathetic sheep, tell them to fuck off as they’re clearly quite mad.
Can this be the same Joe Biden that wanted to end ‘…the grim era of demonization in America’? The man who, in his inaugural Presidential address, said:
“History, faith, and reason show the way, the way of unity. We can see each other, not as adversaries, but as neighbors. We can treat each other with dignity and respect. We can join forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature, for without unity there is no peace, only bitterness and fury. No progress, only exhausting outrage. No nation, only a state of chaos.”
Unity for all, except for those who have chosen not to have the Covid ‘vaccine’…
A bit of blatant hypocrisy is not something which bothers most politicians…
He probably didn’t understand what he was reading.
“Come on, man, the vaccine is the, the, you know, the thing. Jill, where’s my ice cream?”
They are probably creating an economic crisis in order to blame it on the unvaccinated.
It’s a poor workman who blames his tools.
Self awareness is not one of Biden’s strengths, is it?
Biden and Trudeau saying the same evil tripe. Is it worse that Trudeau actually understands the evil he’s pushing, or that Biden – the holder of the most powerful office in the world, is actually senile? In any case, that’s the consequence of letting leftist elites in media and social media manipulate your elections.
Why Totalitarians Promote Hate
This is a video version of the piece linked here a few days ago.
There’s a lot of truth and wisdom in it, albeit I think it’s a little naive for my tastes, to the point where there’s a risk of blaming victims for fighting fire with fire. There is no necessary equivalence between methods used by powerful aggressors and the same methods used by victims fighting back. Sometimes the end does justify the means, and it’s hard to contest that and remain within the real world.
The photo is not proof that Biden has received the ‘vaccine’.
Taliban vs Vaccines
“In just over five weeks since assuming control of Afghanistan, the Taliban have clearly demonstrated that they are not serious about protecting or respecting human rights. We have already seen a wave of violations, from reprisal attacks and restrictions on women, to crackdowns on protests, the media and civil society,” said Dinushika Dissanayake, with Amnesty, in a statement.
Me: And those behind vaccines care about human rights:

Let me tell you my true story and why I am concerned about vaccine shots
Truth be told, 35/40 years ago, I was so mentally destroyed from my last marriage breakdown, the second and last one, that I wanted to commit suicide and as it turns out, I am a jumper from the top of high buildings and on the run in to jumping off and killing myself, just before I launched myself into eternity, I had an out of body experience – for want of a better explanation, a cone of light and silence descended over me and a voice came into my head and said “there is nothing wrong with you physically, this is all financial” and I stopped, turned around and walked away and that is the only reason I am still here today.
15 years ago, roughly, I went with the female friend who I was caring for (part time paid carer), to a convention about fortune telling and other “weird” things that women generally believe in and while I was there we saw a guy doing Aura photos and both my friend and I, had ours done.
Now, everyone has a motivation to their own cause, but I have never explained mine, so here goes.
My Aura photo was 90% Gold and 10% Purple and when I looked at the card which came with my photo, there was nothing about Gold on it, so I had to inquire what Gold meant and I was told that Gold was nearest to perfection – that was 15 years ago.
I decided then, that I wanted to be 100% Gold and I would do everything I could in life, to benefit others, to achieve my 100% Gold rating before I die and that is my motivation to push my free salt water cure for Covid, in the hope that I can save more than I lose, to vaccines.
I have always had an easy connection with all animals, they take to me like, just like that and I personally think that they can see the Aura’s we each give out and determine if we are good or bad instinctively – I am an “animal whisperer”.
So to Covid.
Biden and newspapers have got the majority of you running around in confusion and the more confused you get, the easier it is to control you and have you do their bidding = vaccines.
There is only one issue you should keep in mind to the exclusion of all else and that is Covid and how to avoid getting it – nothing else matters.
Do my free salt water cure, stay on that, don’t get pulled or pushed away from my simple cure and live a long life, without any of the pressures to conform to the majority rule and vaccines – it is as simple as that:
The Achilles Heel of Coronavirus, is while it is still in the developing stage as Coronavirus/Covid in the warm, wet areas inside the nasal passages of your head (nose) and before it gets to become Covid in your head and lungs, 10 to 14 days later.
If Coronavirus is not treated with my free iodine salt clean water cure to flush out your nasal passages, as soon as possible, or during self isolation, it becomes Covid, which is where the money is.
You cannot catch Covid! Always breathe through your nose and keep your mouth shut, because you really don’t want the Coronavirus to seed itself in your lungs!!
My free salt water cure has “absolutely nothing” to do with 40 trillion lipid packages of graphene and mRNA test vaccines you get with one shot.
Treating Coronavirus with my free iodine salt clean water cure, flushes out the nasal cavity and kills Coronavirus, before it gets to be Covid, irrespective of if you have had mRNA vaccines or not.
Mix one heaped teaspoon of iodine salt in a mug of warm or cold clean water, cup a hand and pour some of the solution in, then sniff or snort that mugful up into your nose, spitting out everything which comes down into your mouth, by so doing, you flush out your nasal cavity, where Coronavirus lives.
If you get a burning sensation (which lasts for 2-3 minutes) then you have a Coronavirus infection.
When the soreness goes away, blow out your head with toilet paper and flush away, washing your hands afterwards and continue doing my salt clean water nasal cavity flush cure, morning, noon and night, or more often, if you want, until, when you do my free salt water cure, you don’t experience any soreness at all in your nasal cavity.
While you are at it, swallow a couple of mouthfuls and if you get a burning sensation in your chest, then you are killing the Covid/Bronchitis there too, so keep it up, each time you do a salt water sniffle, until the soreness in your head and lungs goes away – job done.
Whatever the bad news of the day is, Foggy Groper finds something else to bark about.
not a subscribers to the Telegraph I stopped it when it became the obvious internal newsletter of the Johnson party. However you do get to read a free article a week. Go look at the comments on the children’s minister for injection with a side line responsibility for education article regarding getting your children injected will allow then to return to normal.
Not one readers comment in support. most are on the attack calling out the mendacious behaviour of this man.
The bible of the conservative party, with multiple dissenters.
You reckon Zahawis ugov polls predicted this response?
May the end to this abomination of a government be swift
Be fair…who on earth wants to be the first to own up to….”okay we spent billions on an experimental medical procedure..and it doesn’t work at all. In fact it’s made things worse, its also likely that we’ve killed and injured more people with it than we saved! The ongoing collateral damage is worse than the original reason we made you have the jab in the first place! Also, on top of that we are still trying to force vaccine passports through, without any fecking evidence that they are anything other than a totalitarian control weapon! Yay! Vote for me!
