There follows a guest post by Professor Roger Watson and Dr Niall McCrae.
Suicide is always a tragic event and information is not easy to obtain. This is for good reason, to prevent ‘hot spots’ being advertised and to reduce copycat events. Nevertheless, any landmark with altitude attracts suicide attempts and very few survivals. Sadly, the Humber Bridge is one such spot and only the most notable are reported such as double suicides, for example, and attempted double suicides involving a mother and child.
Since the Humber Bridge opened in 1981 there have been over 200 suicides, which approximates to just below five annually. Merely five persons survived the fall. In the most recent complete annual figures we can find, from a 2019 study of suicides in Hull, three were attributed to jumping from the structure dubbed “the bridge to nowhere”. But the toll appears to have risen sharply under the COVID-19 regime.
In the last month alone there were six deaths from suicide on the Humber Bridge, many of them young people. This has prompted the closure of the footpaths and cycling commuters from Lincolnshire into East Yorkshire have to make special arrangements to cross the bridge to and from work. In none of the reports do we see any specific mention of the impact of lockdown; this is hardly surprising as the local newspapers have tended, like the mainstream media, to be “on message” regarding the need for COVID-19 restrictions. Were he still alive, we would be minded to consult Philip Larkin on this human calamity, and its callous cause.

Most people still haven’t heard of the Great Barrington Declaration.
Journalists (present company excepted) are dead. Science isn’t getting the oxygen it needs.
Dark times indeed.
Yes, real science is probably dead and so is real journalism. So both professions that are supposed to seek-out the truth are now fighting those who do this.
This is not what one would describe as a positive development for civilization.
I look forward to watching the whole video. Thanks for covering this event!
Doctors are BEGGING parents not to give their children deadly COVID-19 vaccines

I like the gentle dig he took at the Gates Foundation.
His characterisation of them calling around to discourage scientists from speaking up against lockdowns as “strange” felt like there was more he could have said but preferred not to.
What a menace to society that organisation is.
If Bill Gates were to get offed, Epstein stylee, what would happen with his foundation? Would it continue its sinister work?
I despair that so few of my friends have heard of the Gt Barrington Declaration. Where have they been? It was Lockdown Sceptics that highlighted it for me and I signed. It was so obvious from say 3-4 months into 2020 that we were being taken for a ride. I know many saw it earlier. Sad to reflect that there are still many living under the illusion that the “Great Lockdown” was a “Good Thing” (anybody remember 1066 and all that?).
Even when, in March 2020, COVID-19 was no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK.
I have refused the vaccination and I’m damn glad I did now, even though it cost me in terms of being unable to visit an elderly relative in Norway until September 2021 – and even then I had to go into quarantine.
We have been totally taken for a ride by our Government, WHO, pharmaceutical companies and The Gates Foundation, inter alia. I’m bemused that the Valneva vaccination (a “dead” vaccine) contract was cancelled by Javid (resulting in a huge compensation to Valneva). WHY? I can only assume that it was because of pressure from the likes of Pfizer…Can’t have competition, can we? To say I’m spitting feathers would be an understatement.
For Pfizer, it’s not enough to be given immunity. They have acted like this since the late 1960s
The Great Barrington Declaration, signed by a million lay people, thousands of doctors, researchers and scientists. The authors, three of the smartest minds, who risked their livelihoods, prestigious professorships to help all of us. Countless state governors in the USA have asked for their advice and incorporated the advice into legislation. One has to wonder why people like Justin Trudeau, Boris Johnson, Sage, NIH, FDA, MHRA, Macron,Draghi, Ursula Leyden did not follow their advice.
Did anyone hear Kuldorff give a valid reply to Toby’s question ? Full credit to him for posing so much resistance to pandemic politics, and yet … he seems far to respectful of the ‘vaccine endpoint’ and seems to accept vaccine efficacy without references to live trial evidence :/
