Laurence Fox Runs for London Mayor on Anti-Lockdown Platform
Actor-turned-activist Laurence Fox, who shot to national prominence last year when he challenged an audience member on Question Time for describing him as a “white privileged male”, has announced his candidacy for the London Mayoralty. The Sunday Telegraph has the exclusive.
Laurence Fox is to fight Sadiq Khan in the upcoming Mayor of London elections, vowing to “offer a voice to those who are being dominated into silence”.
The actor and leader of the anti-Woke Reclaim Party has revealed to The Telegraph that he is entering the race for City Hall as part of the fight against “extreme political correctness”.
Mr Fox will also fight on a platform for lifting lockdown as soon as he is elected in May rather than waiting until June, when all restrictions are due to be removed.
The news came as new polling showed a significant minority of Londoners are uncomfortable about the London Mayor’s ‘woke’ policies such as his review of statues.
One in four voters in the capital thought Mr Khan was “too woke” – although 27% found him “not woke enough”.
A similar proportion – 25% – were against a review ordered by Mr Khan into whether statues should be removed because of links to slavery or colonialism, against 39% in favour.
Mr Fox hopes that his push to end lockdown sooner will see him win votes from Mr Khan, who launched his re-election campaign last week and has been noticeably keener to go further with lockdowns than the Conservative government.
The survey, conducted by Savanta ComRes among 1,000 people in London in late February for the Reclaim Party, found that 25% of Londoners wanted lockdown lifted by the end of this month. Some 58% wanted it gone by the end of May. Among Londoners aged 18-34, the latter figure rises to 63%.
The poll reveals shifting public concern over the economic impact of lockdown in London. More people than not are concerned about losing their job (43% concerned to 35% unconcerned) and 75% say that they expect small businesses in their area to close permanently as a result of the pandemic.
Mr Fox said: “I am standing for London mayor. With almost all older and vulnerable people having got their jab, I want the lockdown lifted straight away. The Government has said vaccines are working, hospitalisations and deaths are tumbling, but we are still being told we won’t be able to resume normal life until mid-summer at the earliest.”
“Both the main parties are competing in this dreary race to be the last to set the country free. Both Tory and Labour have got this badly wrong. I want London – and indeed the rest of the country – to be allowed to get back to work and play immediately – not by late June.”
Many readers of Lockdown Sceptics have been complaining that they feel politically homeless, given the support for the lockdown by the three main political parties and the nationalist parties in Scotland and Wales. Politics, like nature, abhors a vacuum and it looks as though a leader has emerged.

Variants Schmariants

One of the four tests underpinning the roadmap out of Lockdown is that new “variants of concern” do not create unforeseen risks. Should we be worried about new variants derailing the reopening? In a widely reported interview with the Times, Professor Sharon Peacock, head of the COVID-19 Genomics UK scientific body, says no. Here is the report of the interview from Sky.
Professor Sharon Peacock, who is in charge of tracking strains of the virus in Britain, said the country is well equipped to “stay ahead” by adapting vaccines quickly.
The head of the COVID-19 Genomics UK scientific body told the Times she was “very optimistic” that immunisation would allow Britain to ease restrictions as planned. …
Prof Peacock told the Times: “I’m very optimistic that the vaccines will be rolled out, that they’ll be effective, and that we’ll be in a better place by the summer and autumn.’
“I think we’ve got the capabilities to stay ahead by adapting vaccines, and so I’m an optimist.”
New variants are “very unlikely to send us back to square one”, she added.
Nature highlights a new study, still only in preprint, which suggests that the four key variants – UK, South African, Californian and Brazilian – will have a hard time evading T Cells.
Emerging coronavirus variants do not seem to elude important immune-system players called T cells, laboratory studies suggest.
Some recently discovered SARS-CoV-2 variants can partially evade antibodies generated in response to vaccination and previous infection, raising fears that vaccines will be less effective against the variants than against the original strain of the virus. Alessandro Sette and Alba Grifoni at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology in California and their colleagues looked at whether these variants’ mutations might also help them to evade T cells — a component of the immune system that is particularly important for reducing the severity of infectious diseases
The team collected T cells from volunteers who had either recovered from infection with the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain or had received an mRNA coronavirus vaccine. The researchers then tested the cells’ ability to recognise protein snippets from four emerging variants, including the B.1.351 variant first identified in South Africa.
Most of the volunteers’ T cells recognised all four variants, thanks to viral protein snippets that were unaffected by the variants’ mutations. The results suggest that T cells could target these variants.
From the discussion section of the paper itself:
The present study addresses a key knowledge gap pertaining to the potential of emergent SARS-CoV-2 variants to evade recognition by human immune responses. We focused on T cell responses elicited by either natural infection or vaccination with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. We found negligible effects on both CD4+ or CD8+ T cell responses to all four variants investigated, to include the B.1.1.7, B.1.351, P.1 and CAL.20C variants found in the UK, South Africa, Brazil and California, respectively. …
The data provide some positive news in light of justified concern over the impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern on efforts to control and eliminate the present pandemic. Undoubtedly, several of the variants are associated with increased transmissibility, and also have been associated with decreased susceptibility to neutralising antibodies from infected or vaccinated individuals. In contrast, the data presented here suggests that T cell responses are largely unaffected by the variants.
Home Testing is a Waste of Time

A Lockdown Sceptics reader has written in to flag up Dr Martin Scurr’s view of home testing in the Daily Mail
In an ideal world, all tests would be 100% accurate – but they aren’t. And when it comes to determining whether you are carrying COVID-19, you need to be able to have faith in the results.
Yet the Innova lateral flow tests, which we are told will be sent out to those with children at school or college, as well as to bus drivers and teachers, are barely fit for purpose. They were recently tried out in a mass-testing exercise in Liverpool, but failed to detect 60% of cases.
The issue lies largely with the way the test is used. I’ve never yet seen one done properly on news bulletins. The swab should be passed backwards along the floor of the nose (i.e., parallel to the soles of the feet) for about the length of a matchstick. This is unpleasant.
The proposal to increase home testing underestimates the potential harms if faulty data is collected; it will only be of value if asymptomatic people who are infectious are detected and isolated, and their contacts traced.
There is a solution to this emerging chaos: abandon the Innova tests and utilise the simple saliva test, which is widely used in Austria.
Stop Press: There’s a risk the majority of positives detected by the lateral flow tests in schools will be false, according to the Telegraph, reporting on a new paper.
Children may be wrongly kept off school because there is a risk that the “majority” of positive cases detected by the Government’s lateral flow tests “could be false positives”, experts have warned.
Ministers have distributed 57 million of the tests to schools in England as Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday declared the reopening of classrooms a “truly national effort to beat this virus”.
However Sheila Bird, a member of the Royal Statistical Society that produced a new paper on the accuracy of lateral flow tests, said on Saturday every positive quick-result test of a school pupil should be double checked with a PCR test to ensure it was accurate.
A false positive occurs when someone who doesn’t have COVID-19 is wrongly told by the test they have the virus.
The paper, published on Friday, also warns the opposite – that 60 per cent of positive cases may be missed by the tests, meaning people could be inadvertently spreading the virus among peers.

Vaccine Passports Make a Mockery of Consent

There has been a growing movement in favour of vaccine passports and they are currently – under the name of Covid-status certificates – being considered by the Government as a means “of reopening the economy, reducing restrictions on social contact and improving safety”. Today we’re publishing an original piece by a post-doc in the arts at a Russell Group university who argues that vaccine passports violate the principle of free and informed consent, as set out in the Nuremberg Code. Here are the opening paragraphs:
I once read a children’s story about a princess who wanted to write a book. Unfortunately, she couldn’t write, and sales were disappointingly low. The king then announced (I quote from memory):
that the people must have their choice. And so he issued a proclamation which gave all citizens a choice of:
a) Buying a copy of the princess’s book
Or
b) Going to prison for one yearSales boomed.
Buying a bad book and receiving a vaccination are different things, and prison has not yet been proposed for those who do not receive a COVID-19 vaccine. But that children’s story wittily makes the point that any tyranny could be justified by a certain definition of ‘choice’, and I recalled it when I read Guy de la Bédoyère’s recent article on this site:
‘“I’ll lay my cards on the table. I am going to be vaccinated as soon as I can. That is my choice, and I am glad that it is my choice.
“I accept for example that in order to protect other people I needed to learn to drive and to have a driving licence to prove it. Similarly, I accept the normal passport as a means of proving who I am and protecting me and everyone else from maniacs and others not entitled to come to this country. I also accept that there are consequences of making choices. If I choose not to have a driving licence, then I would have to accept I cannot drive on a public road. And I doubt if anyone would want me to. If I chose freely not to have a passport then I would not be allowed to travel. So, I have no problem with the notion of vaccine choice as another facet of choice with consequences. I grew up at a time when large numbers of children had polio, a disease that gradually dwindled away as a result of the vaccine program.“That is all about freedom of choice…“
Here I attempt to lay out the basic case against the ‘vaccination certificates’ currently suggested, by various people, for everything from international travel to shopping. These proposals differ qualitatively as well as in degree.
Not a driving licence
Justifying comparisons along the lines of driving licences or hard hats do not resolve the issue, because there is a qualitative difference: this is not a proficiency test or a piece of clothing, it is a medical procedure.
That medical procedures require the explicit and free consent of the individual concerned, is accepted by legal authorities and international bodies.

Stop Press: Israel has already rolled out a vaccine passport scheme which operates through an app. It’s a bit of a disaster, according to a recent report in Hareetz, and might not even do the job for which it was designed:
Cryptographers and information security experts who examined the official mobile app for Israel’s “Green Pass”, a Government-validated certificate for Israelis who have received both doses of the coronavirus vaccine, have found a string of flaws that pose a threat to its functionality. …
Initially the app was supposed to be extremely simple and quick but the final product, experts and users says, is heavy and slow, taking up a large amount of memory. Moreover, the choice to use closed (as opposed to open) source code and the lack of involvement by security and privacy specialists has also caused concern among developers. Security experts and cryptographers who examined the app’s code have discovered several problems that cast doubts on the reliability of its verification that someone has been vaccinated.

“Both my Dad (Philip Miller) and my cousin Marc, Managing Director, have taken the vaccine, so our position has nothing to do with the jab itself.
“It is the bullying, peer pressure, invasion of privacy, and the fact that it is not our right to tell people what to do with their bodies, that we cannot condone as a company.”

Protest in Stockholm

Sweden has been famously light on lockdown restrictions, but the Government has gradually been tightening them. The rules remain rather lenient by comparison with the UK, but they were tight enough to bring protesters out on the streets of Stockholm yesterday as MailOnline reports.
Hundreds of anti-lockdown protesters clashed with police in Stockholm on Saturday as they took to the streets in defiance of Sweden’s coronavirus ban on gatherings.
Swedish police dispersed opponents of coronavirus measures that came after the government – which initially took a hands-off approach to COVID-19 rules – tightened restrictions further as cases continue to rise.
The tighter measures come after Sweden this week reported a 10% rise in the number of COVID-19 cases for a third week in a row, increasing fears that the country is in its third wave of the virus.
Police blocked a bridge in the centre of the city and said on their website they were in dialogue with organisers to persuade demonstrators to disperse. TV images showed police shoving some protesters, while the police said one officer had been slightly injured and taken to hospital.
“Police have taken the decision to break up the non-authorised gathering which is ongoing,” Stockholm police said on their website on Saturday.
Earlier this week, protest organiser Filip Sjöström told local media that he was expecting around 2,000 people to join the demonstration, which had been announced on Facebook.
TV images showed hundreds of people had gathered. According to Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter, demonstrators had travelled from several parts of Sweden, which has a ban on public gatherings of more than eight people.

Ontario Doctor Cautioned for lockdown scepticism

Last week, Ontario Pediatrician Dr Kulvinder Kaur Gill was cautioned by the College of Physicians and Surgeons for her “inappropriate”, “irresponsible” and “unprofessional” tweets last year about COVID-19. Global News has the details.
An Ontario doctor has been cautioned by the College of Physicians and Surgeons for social media posts about COVID-19 that were deemed inaccurate and irresponsible.
Dr. Kulvinder Gill was issued three cautions for “inappropriate” and “unprofessional” statements she posted on Twitter that claimed neither lockdowns nor vaccines were necessary.
The Brampton doctor had claimed there was “absolutely no medical or scientific reason for this prolonged, harmful and illogical lockdown”, the College wrote in one of the decisions.
She had also written that “we don’t need a vaccine”, and shared a Tweet claiming that contact tracing, testing and isolation were “ineffective, naïve & counter-productive against COVID-19″.
The College’s complaints committee cautioned Gill for all three posts, citing a “lack of professionalism and failure to exercise caution in her posts on social media, which is irresponsible behaviour for a member of the profession and presents a possible risk to public health”.
Worth reading in full.
The regulator’s decision makes for interesting reading. Of course there is evidence that lockdowns work, it argued, citing China and South Korea, even though South Korea didn’t impose a nationwide lockdown.
The complaint referred to a tweet the Respondent posted that states: “There is absolutely no medical or scientific reason for this prolonged, harmful and illogical lockdown.” The Committee found this tweet inappropriate and unprofessional for the following reasons:
The Committee accepts that there is a range of views about the effectiveness of using provincial lockdown as a means of controlling the spread of COVID-19. The Committee has no interest in shutting down free speech or in preventing physicians from expressing criticism of public health policy. It is valid to point out that there are drawbacks to lockdown. It is also valid to question whether the benefits outweigh the negative aspects or whether the measure is working as expected in Ontario
The Respondent did not raise these points in her tweet, however. She stated unequivocally and without providing any evidence that there is no medical or scientific reason for the lockdown. Her statement does not align with the information coming from public health, and moreover, it is not accurate. The lockdowns in China and South Korea provide evidence that lockdowns can and did work in reducing the spread of COVID-19. For the Respondent to state otherwise is misinformed and misleading and furthermore an irresponsible statement to make on social media during a pandemic.
There’s nothing wrong with Dr Gill’s colleagues disagreeing with her on lockdowns, even if some of them are hopelessly misinformed about virus containment measures in South Korea. But the issue extends beyond that, as Professor Martin Kulldorff points out.
Gill, the co-founder of the advocacy group Concerned Ontario Doctors, is expected to appeal the decision. Her twitter feed remains on point.
America’s National Restaurant Association Condemns CDC Report
As day follows night, so the announcement that some states – Texas, Mississippi, Iowa, Montana and North Dakota – are dropping their mask mandates and reopening restaurants was followed by an academic study from the CDC demonstrating how useful masks are in suppressing the spread of COVID-19 and singling out restaurants as a site of infection. Here’s NBC News with the details:
A new national study adds strong evidence that mask mandates can slow the spread of the coronavirus, and that allowing dining at restaurants can increase cases and deaths.
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention released the study Friday.
“All of this is very consistent,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a White House briefing on Friday. “You have decreases in cases and deaths when you wear masks, and you have increases in cases and deaths when you have in-person restaurant dining.”
The study was released just as some states are rescinding mask mandates and restaurant limits. Earlier this week, Texas became the biggest state to lift its mask rule, joining a movement by many governors to loosen COVID-19 restrictions despite pleas from health officials.
“It’s a solid piece of work that makes the case quite strongly that in-person dining is one of the more important things that needs to be handled if you’re going to control the pandemic,” said William Hanage, a Harvard University expert on disease dynamics who was not involved in the study.
The new research builds on smaller CDC studies, including one that found that people in ten states who became infected in July were more likely to have dined at a restaurant and another that found mask mandates in ten states were associated with reductions in hospitalisations.
The CDC researchers looked at US counties placed under state-issued mask mandates and at counties that allowed restaurant dining – both indoors and at tables outside. The study looked at data from March through December of last year.

The National Restaurant Association responded Robustly.
As vaccination rates continue to rise and indoor dining capacity in many states is increasing, it is critical that diners have reliable information about the safety of restaurant dining. The report issued by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today is more an ill-informed attack on the industry hardest-hit by the pandemic than a reliable piece of scientific research.
In its own publication, the CDC notes numerous flaws in the report. First, although research models did control for mask mandates, restaurant and bar closures, stay-at-home orders, and gathering bans, the models did not control for other policies that might affect case and death rates, including other types of business closures, physical distancing recommendations, policies issued by localities, and variances granted by states to certain counties (some variances were not made publicly available).
As a result, the observed phenomena could be attributable to myriad variables.
Furthermore, correlation does not equal causation. For example, if a positive correlation between ice cream sales and shark attacks is found, that would not mean that ice cream causes shark attacks. For restaurants, customer behaviour outside the venue remains the major contributing factor in COVID-19 transmission.
Second, the CDC did not measure compliance with and enforcement of safe operating policies. We still do not find evidence of a systemic spread of the coronavirus coming from restaurants who are effectively following our COVID-19 Operating Guidance, encouraging guests and employees to wear masks, social distance, and practice good hand hygiene. In effect, this lack of a direct correlation should be evidence that, when restaurants apply effective mitigation efforts, the transmission risk is low when dining outside or inside.
Finally, the analysis did not differentiate between indoor and outdoor dining, adequacy of ventilation, or adherence to physical distancing and occupancy requirements.

Changes Coming to Lockdown Sceptics
From tomorrow, you’ll see some changes at Lockdown Sceptics. Email subscribers will still receive a daily update that looks similar to the one they get at the moment, but visitors to the website will see a rolling news blog, constantly updated throughout the day, rather than a static page. The option to view it in its present form will still be available – you’ll just have to click on a button at the top that says “Today’s Update” – but the home page will be different.
Our reasons for doing this are partly to make it easier to comment on and share individual stories, but also so we don’t have to take turns to stay up until dawn every day to prepare the daily update. The update subscribers will receive, and which will still be viewable on the site, will consist of a newly refreshed version of everything from the Round-Up on downwards and all the stories that have been posted to the rolling news blog in the previous 24 hours.
We still plan to bring you plenty of original articles, like today’s one about vaccine passports, as well as analysis by Toby and Will Jones, readers’ comments, poems, and so on.
If all restrictions – or nearly all – are lifted on June 21st, we will switch from a daily to a weekly update, but continue to post stories to the rolling news blog every day. And if, God forbid, the lockdown is reimposed in the Autumn, we’ll restore the daily updates.

Woke Gobbledegook

We’ve decided to create a permanent slot down here for woke gobbledegook. Today, we bring you British business, which, according to Michael O’Dwyer in the Telegraph, has more diversity and inclusion executives than anywhere else in the world:
The UK is becoming the diversity and inclusion capital of the business world. British organisations employ twice as many inclusion professionals per capita as any other country in the world, according to LinkedIn.
This week, the City lost one of its most powerful diversity champions. Dimple Agarwal’s role was not a tick-box exercise to make Deloitte’s accountants and consultants feel a sense of belonging at the firm.
She was deputy chief executive, likely to have been earning a pay package well in excess of the average £731,000 handed to the firm’s partners last year.
Agarwal’s initiatives included a Black Action Plan in response to the Black Lives Matter movement and increasing paid leave for “non-birthing parents” as part of “our commitment to inclusion, where we are creating an environment of respect, dignity and belonging for all”.
She championed respect but staff complained that she was making their working lives a misery. An investigation was launched into claims Agarwal bullied subordinates, was aggressive on calls and emails during the pandemic and scheduled meetings with blatant disregard for work-life balance despite publicly championing employee wellbeing. …
Diversity officers started out as a compliance requirement to reduce the risk of lawsuits and breaching regulations.
Now they have a more strategic remit to create “an inclusive organisation culture where staff can feel included and be able to express themselves”, says Abdul Wahab, policy adviser for inclusion and diversity at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
Issues crossing their desks will include everything from diversity in recruitment, retention of talented women and staff from ethnic minorities, protecting employee mental and physical wellbeing, creating a welcoming environment for LGBTQ workers and ensuring minorities such as people with disabilities get equal opportunities.

Stop Press: Matthew Lynn, also in the Telegraph, has more to say about Dimple Agarwal’s departure from Deloitte. “By embracing woke agenda,” he writes, “companies are empowering staff to simply remove any senior manager they do not like.”
Perhaps Agarwal was a horrible person to work for, and perhaps she wasn’t. Even so, the woke workplace is increasingly devouring itself.
By embracing a politically correct agenda, firms are creating anarchy where there should be leadership. They are adopting a box-ticking culture, where form is always more important than substance.
And perhaps most importantly of all, after a year of lockdown, many workplaces are going a little haywire, with bosses lashing out, and staff turning mutinous.
In truth, everyone needs to get back to checking accounts, fixing tax returns, and re-configuring supply chains, or whatever it is the business they work for actually does – and agree that wokery and business are a bad combination.

“Mask Exempt” Lanyards
We’ve created a one-stop shop down here for people who want to obtain a “Mask Exempt” lanyard/card – because wearing a mask causes them “severe distress”, for instance. You can print out and laminate a fairly standard one for free here and the Government has instructions on how to download an official “Mask Exempt” notice to put on your phone here. And if you feel obliged to wear a mask but want to signal your disapproval of having to do so, you can get a “sexy world” mask with the Swedish flag on it here.
A reader has started a website that contains some useful guidance about how you can claim legal exemption. Another reader has created an Android app which displays “I am exempt from wearing a face mask” on your phone. Only 99p.
If you’re a shop owner and you want to let your customers know you will not be insisting on face masks or asking them what their reasons for exemption are, you can download a friendly sign to stick in your window here.
And here’s an excellent piece about the ineffectiveness of masks by a Roger W. Koops, who has a doctorate in organic chemistry. See also the Swiss Doctor’s thorough review of the scientific evidence here and Prof Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson’s Spectator article about the Danish mask study here.
The Great Barrington Declaration

The Great Barrington Declaration, a petition started by Professor Martin Kulldorff, Professor Sunetra Gupta and Professor Jay Bhattacharya calling for a strategy of “Focused Protection” (protect the elderly and the vulnerable and let everyone else get on with life), was launched in October and the lockdown zealots have been doing their best to discredit it ever since. If you googled it a week after launch, the top hits were three smear pieces from the Guardian, including: “Herd immunity letter signed by fake experts including ‘Dr Johnny Bananas’.” (Freddie Sayers at UnHerd warned us about this the day before it appeared.) On the bright side, Google UK has stopped shadow banning it, so the actual Declaration now tops the search results – and Toby’s Spectator piece about the attempt to suppress it is among the top hits – although discussion of it has been censored by Reddit. In February, Facebook deleted the GBD’s page because it “goes against our community standards”. The reason the zealots hate it, of course, is that it gives the lie to their claim that “the science” only supports their strategy. These three scientists are every bit as eminent – more eminent – than the pro-lockdown fanatics so expect no let up in the attacks. (Wikipedia has also done a smear job.)
You can find it here. Please sign it. Now over three quarters of a million signatures.

There’s the GoodLawProject and Runnymede Trust’s Judicial Review of the Government’s award of lucrative PPE contracts to various private companies. You can find out more about that here and contribute to the crowdfunder here.
Scottish Church leaders from a range of Christian denominations have launched legal action, supported by the Christian Legal Centre against the Scottish Government’s attempt to close churches in Scotland for the first time since the the Stuart kings in the 17th century. The church leaders emphasised it is a disproportionate step, and one which has serious implications for freedom of religion.” Further information available here.
There’s the class action lawsuit being brought by Dr Reiner Fuellmich and his team in various countries against “the manufacturers and sellers of the defective product, PCR tests”. Dr Fuellmich explains the lawsuit in this video. Dr Fuellmich has also served cease and desist papers on Professor Christian Drosten, co-author of the Corman-Drosten paper which was the first and WHO-recommended PCR protocol for detection of SARS-CoV-2. That paper, which was pivotal to the roll out of mass PCR testing, was submitted to the journal Eurosurveillance on January 21st and accepted following peer review on January 22nd. The paper has been critically reviewed here by Pieter Borger and colleagues, who also submitted a retraction request, which was rejected in February.
And last but not least there was the Free Speech Union‘s challenge to Ofcom over its ‘coronavirus guidance’. A High Court judge refused permission for the FSU’s judicial review on December 9th and the FSU has decided not to appeal the decision because Ofcom has conceded most of the points it was making. Check here for details.
Stop Press: Following the recent court ruling that the Government acted unlawfully when it failed to publish all its Covid contracts, Boris reassured MPs that all Covid related contracts would be published. But in saying that, he misled Parliament, according to an update from the Good Law Project.

Piers Morgen is in the same club of vile turds as many others we could name. So he’s trying to justify his hate speech and sowing of division, encouraging of ostracization towards people who sensibly made a different decision to him, and he’s back-peddling using “I only followed the science, don’t hate me.” as an excuse.
It’s these scumbags and the many politicians and authority figures who should be getting these “extremely rare” effects from their beloved “vaccine”, not the many who were duped by the very effective, very expensive PsyOp early on, and the false promises and assurances about said injection. Not the likes of Tony in the other article who will no doubt be regretting his decision for the rest of his life and has paid the price of his misplaced trust and blind faith 100 times over.
I don’t think the politicians got the same batch or any batch. Are there any MPs currently suffering from the effects of the jabs? I think we should be informed if there are. And are there any high profile people who are suffering from the jab? I get a distinct feeling that there were batches and there were batches. I do know some people who were affected. One is a man in his early 70s who had an attack of shingles that lasted for months and I believe it still affects him although not as much now. He has slowly regained his health. Another was my ex-partner and she got problems with one of her eyes. It too has got better over time. Apart from these two, I don’t know anyone who has really suffered but I know plenty who keep getting Covid despite being jabbed to the hilt.
I used to discount such a thing whenever people mentioned that. I used to think it would be too much trouble to pull off, especially as it would mean the jabbers and NHS staff would presumably have to be onboard with the sham. But now I’m changing my tune because you’re right, I’ve noticed it, which means it’s also obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes. There’s literally nobody who is an authority figure promoting these injections who’s come a cropper with any sort of vax injury. And after all this time that is highly suspicious, because everybody knows somebody after this long, millions of jabs later.
And did we ever get to the bottom of the mystery of why that Spanish guy, head of a pharmaceutical company no less ( if memory serves ) would rather break the law and pay under the table for some student nurse to put him on the register as having had the vax? That’s something that just fell off the radar quickly enough, and there were a lot of high profile Spanish names on that list when the story broke. So then the next logical question is did Bourla even get quadruple vaxxed at all? Or was it just 4 shots of saline? Can you imagine if that were ever revealed? The vaxxed status of all of the PMs/Presidents and pharma CEOs etc? And whistleblowers revealed that they never even received the thing in the first place! Nothing would surprise me anymore as they are all sleazy, corrupt liars that are evidently in cahoots.

He is an utter disgrace to humanity. A disgusting, lying piece of rubbish.
Excellent! Wonder if he’d take up the offer to debate our Joel, a so-called “Covidiot” in that abhorrent piece of shit’s words. I shan’t be holding my breath. The prick’s ego has an inverse relationship with his intellect.
I expected the story of the Phizer woman who when questioned by a Dutch politician yesterday admitted that Bourla,s Brew was not tested to see if it stopped transmission of Fauci,s plague before it was unleashed across the world, would have had full coverage on here today ?
The politician in question, Rob Roos….tweeted this…
In COVID hearing, #Pfizer director admits: #vaccine was never tested on preventing transmission.
“Get vaccinated for others” was always a lie.
The only purpose of the #COVID passport: forcing people to get vaccinated.
https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/human-body/pfizer-did-not-know-whether-covid-vaccine-stopped-transmission-before-rollout-executive-admits/news-story/f307f28f794e173ac017a62784fec414 You can see the short clip of the Pfizer representative here……
I hate these MoFo’s….
Yes here it is. But she says “stopping *immunization*”, rather than “transmission” so the stupid woman can’t even answer a straight-forward question properly!
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/y194bb/pfizer_director_admits_the_vaccine_was_never/
…and what does..’we had to work at risk’ mean?…because I think it means we wanted to make money while you numpties took all the risk?
Whoops, we clashed there.
Great minds think alike! haha Well if they reinstate the vaxpass, which I’m fully expecting them to do, along with all of the other restrictions at some point, then to say that it is based on science and makes any difference to those all important Covid numbers is well and truly blown out of the water as it has been debunked as a lie well and truly hasn’t it? If they plough on with it then isn’t that proof enough that it’s purely about dividing society and something more sinister?
I would say this is a must watch…how anyone can trust these ‘vaccines’ is beyond me…this should go viral….
Press conference after Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla refused to answer in front of European Parliament…
Six members of the European Parliament held a press conference on October 11, 2022, one day after Albert Bourla, Pfizer CEO, refused to participate in the Covid committeee and answer questions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jTgDj7uiX8
a link always helps..LOL!
Just what I thought.
Great minds Mrs G!
Come on Mogs, of course it’s “sinister.” There is nothing benevolent about their Reset given that it starts with massive depopulation and slavery for the survivors.
This is a link to a press conference by 6 MEPs following the Pfizer Q&A session in EU Parliament giving greater detail of the anomalies raised by the lack of answers to questions about their own data. It also covers Moderna Q&A session which resulted in a similar lack of answers.
https://youtu.be/2jTgDj7uiX8
Jinx!….just put that link up as well!! It is well worth watching….I very much appreciate the anger of all of them, especially Cristian Terhes, the Romanian MEP, who has been a thorn in their side for a while..his obvious annoyance is refreshing..shame it’s only a small group…
At the start of all this there were only 4, now there is a group of about a dozen. Still too few.
Fraud is what is being exposed, which over rides any indemnity clause, hence the resistance from them. They are fighting for their skins.
They must surely know that their snubbing of attending these things ( Bourla ) or refusal to answer very reasonable questions ( Small and Moderna CEO ) will only look shady as hell and fuel the public distrust. Just as with a police suspect in a crime, you would co-operate with police enquiries if you were innocent and had nothing to hide. It’s the guilty parties who run away or plead “no comment”.
I’m worried that these various so called eco protesters like the latest stop oil freaks are just stooges given free rein by our masters to piss the public off to the point where they will initially cheer for any new laws brought in on the back of these choreographed disruptions , not realising ALL Protesting will probably get outlawed so that the helmeted & truncheon brigade can be swiftly whisked out to batter ordinary law abiding citizens into submission !!!…
I’m sure it’s all a planned op, Freddy, and the eco-worriers are just the useful idiots fed a line about how we’re all about to be incinerated by a heating planet. They’re scared and scared people are easy to manipulate as we saw with Covid. I notice they’ve got nice expensive banners and plenty of branded high-vis jackets – that costs money and I doubt they have that themselves. Someone is paying for this, you can bet your bottom dollar. The fact that the police do nothing should tell us something too. It’s been helped along, funded and it is about forcing the government to take a draconian line. Once the Tories fall – as they inevitably will because that seems to be planned too – Starmer and his ultra-woke, anti-fossil fuel brigade will get in and they will make our lives even worse, telling us, of course, that they’re doing this to SAVE THE PLANET!! When what is really needed is for us to save ourselves, especially from the likes of Stalin…Starmer.
That bloody nailed it Aethelred. My thoughts exactly on all counts.
And as someone pointed out yesterday, ‘just stop oil’ protesters wandering about in high viz jackets made from…
OIL.

Thanks, HP!
“I’m worried that these various…”
You beat me to it Freddy. And this is why plod are not doing their job. The aim is to generate real violence on the streets. It’s all so blatant.
The article about the French politician is interesting but it was his conk that got my attention! I’ve never seen one that big in my entire life!
looks like my late father in law (from Guernsey)..he only needed a beret and a sting of onions around his neck!!
Mr Gum got his mum’s small ‘English’ nose….LOL!
I had to look. Holy Christ, you’re not wrong! Now we know where the inspiration for Concord came from.
Apparently predictive text prefers “consents” over “conks”!
I bet you have. Fifty shades of grey on play and repeat. I’m off to Cambridge tomorrow, looking forward to it, plenty of punts to choose from there

EDMONTON—In the eyes of Alberta’s newly minted premier, Danielle Smith, unvaccinated people have faced an “extreme level” of inequity that is unparalleled and, she says, she plans to protect them under the province’s Human Rights Act.
“They have been the most discriminated against group that I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime,” Smith said Tuesday during her first media availability as premier of Alberta.
“I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a situation in my lifetime where a person was fired from their job, or not allowed to watch their kids play hockey, or are not allowed to go visit a loved one in long-term care or hospital, or not allowed to go get on a plane to either go across the country to see family or even travel across the border.”
“Smith said Tuesday during her first media availability as premier of Alberta.”
What the hell does “media availability” mean?
These colonials need to get back to speaking English.

“Artificial grass roots”
This caught my eye. The huge efforts that the CDC went to in order to infiltrate popular culture and make out that getting vvv-axe-inated was the cooool thing to do. can you think of anything less cool when it has a very high chance of ruining your life? All those paid-for comedians, influencers and singers making out that it was way cool and then ridiculing us more common sensical, still able to think for ourselves folk. Look at that Justin Bieber character who had some weird stuff going on with his eye. Did he recover from that? Did he actually learn anything? One thing is for sure, if it’s paid for by your government and they’re trying to medicate you, it ain’t funny, it ain’t cool, and it ain’t catchy.

Crikey Mrs G. I would say you are downplaying matters somewhat.
Generally I’m a fan of the Greyzone…can this be true? Maybe Liz could just paint a big white X on the UK and have done….?
https://thegrayzone.com/2022/10/10/ukrainian-kerch-bridge/
The secret British intelligence plot to blow up Crimea’s Kerch Bridge is revealed in internal documents and correspondence obtained exclusively by The Grayzone.The Grayzone has obtained an April 2022 presentation drawn up for senior British intelligence officers hashing out an elaborate scheme to blow up Crimea’s Kerch Bridge with the involvement of specially trained Ukrainian soldiers. Almost six months after the plan was circulated, Kerch Bridge was attacked in an October 8th suicide bombing apparently overseen by Ukraine’s SBU intelligence services.
The fact that the day after the explosion, a series of stamps were published celebrating the explosion of the bridge & huge posters of these stamps were placed in cities for ‘photo opportunities’ to ‘celebrate’ the damage is indicative that this had long been planned.
This Twitter post from a US veteran is well worth a view regarding war & who the soldier is serving.

Yesterday evening I attended a zoom meeting where Anna de Buisseret presented on the Medical Trials from the Nuremburg Trials. The comparisons in law with the current situation are many, the clinical trial details shocking yet the most shocking of all was that the convictions were made on the basis of 1, 2, half a dozen deaths.
How to proceed lawfully was discussed afterwards & it transpires that numerous military veterans have reported crimes of unlawful warfare to the military, who have done nothing. The reason is now coming out. The military is involved in the development & deployment of the bioweapon, for that is what the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen is.
I’ll post the link to the recording when it’s published. Anna is well worth a listen to.
We have an unprecedented zoom meeting again this evening: Dt Sucharit Bhakdi. Again I’ll post the link once the recording is published.
GvdB is a tough read this time, even for his standards.
He has also been wrong, sofar, with his alarmist prediction that the variants would lead to ever worse disease, incl. in the unvaxxed (Marek’s disease like).
I summarize, it’s in the last third:
He still expects that to happen, but now mainly/only in the vaxxed who suffer from immune (system) refocussing now and ever more with every shot.
You’re safest as an unvaxxed in a heavily vaxxed country, and in Africa, where he expects herd immunity to be achieved most quickly.
Herd immunity through natural infection always was and still is the only way to end this, and to spare the vaxxed their severe disease then, they need to take the cheap available antivirals prophylactically.
He may have been alarmist, but with further data, he is refining his theory. Re the Marek’s disease – look at the death data & the majority of excess deaths are in the multi-injected. The official data is now being obfuscated to prevent proper scrutiny. It may not be as obvious as Marek’s disease, but the damage done to the immune systems means that a common cold is now riskier for the multi-injected elderly than previously for their cohort.
Prioritising the elderly, the disabled, the chronically unwell with these bioweapon injections is a repeat of 1930s Germany. Stopping these injections is vital if we are to prevent even greater loss of life.
South Africa had estimated(by the blood services) 95% total population infected by march/april 2022, including 90% of the vaccinated. Rapid increase of virus RNA fragments in sewerage around cape Town, so we are told the virus is lurking. So we will see how the herd immunity goes. Deaths have fallen off a cliff since february, currently 7 day average of 1 per day in population of 60 million.
This has got to be good..the more people question the better…and it’s in MSM..

Very strange’: Jason Akermanis suspicion about wife’s cancer and Covid jabOne of the AFL’s most colourful figures has opened up about his wife’s shock cancer battle, revealing his suspicion around the timing of her diagnosis.
Noting that the diagnosis came as a shock to the otherwise healthy and active mother of three, Akermanis mentioned his suspicion about the timing of Megan’s discovery, wondering if the appearance of the lump could be related to her Covid vaccine.
This is concerning:

“…..war…..eats up the surplus of consumable goods, and it helps to preserve the special mental atmosphere that the hierarchical society needs. War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact…..”1984.

This is a long read, fascinating but well worth your time. It examines the history of the Tavistock Institute, the foundations in post war psychological trauma, top down impositions of hierarchies so that only those as the very top are aware of the bigger picture, the importance to them of pushing experiences & removing the importance of the Bible from people’s lives all to enable the governments via MSM to control the population better. All in all, a very fascinating read.
