We’re publishing an original piece today by Dr Will Jones, one of Lockdown Sceptics’ editors and regular contributors, which tries to answer 12 key questions about COVID-19 as factually as possible, referencing the best, most up-to-date evidence. We’ve decided to stick it just below ‘About’ in the main menu on the right-hand side.
The questions he considers are:
- How deadly is COVID-19?
- How is COVID-19 Spread?
- What about asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission?
- Do lockdowns work?
- Does social distancing work?
- Are lockdowns harmful?
- Are the vaccines effective?
- Are the vaccines safe?
- Do masks work?
- Are masks safe?
- Are effective treatments available?
- What should governments have done?
To give you a taster, here’s Will’s answer to question number three: What about asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission?
Asymptomatic infection is typically characterised by a much lower viral load and consequently much lower infectiousness. The study in JAMA on household secondary attack rate (SAR) cited above found that asymptomatic infections had a SAR of just 0.7% versus a SAR of 18% for symptomatic infection. The proportion of infections that are asymptomatic increases among those with immunity from previous infection or vaccination, showing that it is a characteristic of immunity.
People become infectious around two days prior to onset of symptoms as viral load peaks. This pre-symptomatic transmission is estimated to account for around 6.4% of spread, according to a study of actual transmission events from Singapore. Modelled estimates of the contribution of pre-symptomatic spread appear to go too high.
This means that people without symptoms, whether asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic, are not major drivers of the epidemic.
The whole thing is very much worth reading in full.

It is a beautful ideal but for now it will have to remain in the heavenly realm. The supreme androgyne possessed of a penis and testicles, titties and a vagina. The ultimate being. The black transgender (male to female) lesbian. You must learn to keep these things within the realm of your private cosmology. Something is lost in translation when you try to bring them into the earthly realm.
But if they did exist, then they’d star in every BBC, Netflix, and Disney product, now and forever
Absolutely. The dream of the overlords is a black tansgender man wearing a thong so his balls hang out with a pussy picture on the front singing The Star-Spangled Banner or perhaps Jerusalem in England. This is the dream or the nightmare.
And a vision that I now cannot get out of my mind. Thanks
I bring my notion of being a black lesbian in a wheelchair into the earthly realm when filling in job application forms.
“John Swinney said he did not believe that it was possible for males to bear children”
ROFL
“Believe”
Isn’t “belief” usually reserved for matters than cannot be empirically determined?
Perhaps he thinks correlation is not causation – just because none of the X billion men that have ever lived has ever given birth doesn’t mean they can’t.
I wonder what Swinney’s mum would have said about this, remembering raising her little boy, and never imagining that he would grow up to lead Scotland and declare that men can get pregnant. And how about his dad— what would he have said to his son about this?
It just shows the utter madness induced by relentless Globalist Propaganda & Brainwashing over the past few decades.
Must have been hit by one too many hot rivets down shipyard
Are you implying that this goon once had a proper job??!!
The real question that Swinney should have been asked is whether he and his lawyers think campervans are ownership fluid.
Oh, enough of this shit.
He should just have googled it – Google AI Overview says: “No, men cannot get pregnant or give birth.”
That does it, I’m reporting Google AI for perpetrating a Hate Crime.
What a total farce. Makes me proud to be Scottish.
“Forced to admit…” Coward.
Please, please have a look at this description of the “HIJRAS” of the Indian Subcontinent, which seems to be the actual source of all this Globalist attempt “TO MAKE SODOMY THE CORNERSTONE OF A NEW GLOBAL ETHIC”, as Cardinal Robert Sarah once said.
Here is the source of it all !!!
” In India, the Supreme Court in April 2014 recognised hijras, transgender people, eunuchs, and intersex people as a “third gender” in law. Nepal, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have all legally accepted the existence of a third gender, with India, Pakistan and Nepal including an option for them on passports and certain official documents.”
“The word hijra is a Hindustani word. It has traditionally been translated into English as “eunuch” or “hermaphrodite”, where “the irregularity of the male genitalia is central to the definition”. However, in general hijras have been born male, with only a few having been born with intersex variations. Some hijras undergo an initiation rite into the hijra community called nirvaan, which involves the removal of the penis, scrotum and testicles.”
“They are mostly employed as sex workers” [i.e., prostitutes].
“Hijra identity and culture is documented to have evolved during the Delhi Sultanate (1206–1526) and Mughal Empire (1526–1707), where hijras held positions as servants for elite households, manual laborers, military commanders, political advisors, and guardians of the harem.”
[***same as Janissaries in the Ottoman Empire]
“Franciscan travellers the 1650s noted the presence of “men and boys who dress like women” roaming the streets of Thatta, in modern Pakistan. The presence of these individuals was taken to be a sign of the city’s depravity.”
Hijra (South Asia) – Wikipedia
The Globalists are trying to force this depravity upon the West.
It is only the taxes of working people that they are wasting on the court case but does Swinney know what a working person is given that Two Tier, Thieves and co seem to struggle with it.
