Professor Mark Woolhouse, an expert on infectious diseases at Edinburgh University, has a new book out, The Year the World Went Mad: A Scientific Memoir, in which he blasts lockdowns as morally wrong and highly damaging. He writes:
We did serious harm to our children and young adults who were robbed of their education, jobs and normal existence, as well as suffering damage to their future prospects, while they were left to inherit a record-breaking mountain of public debt. All this to protect the NHS from a disease that is a far, far greater threat to the elderly, frail and infirm than to the young and healthy.
The Observer has run a feature on the book this morning.
There was a distinctive moment, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, that neatly encapsulated the mistakes and confusion of Britain’s early efforts to tackle the disease, says Mark Woolhouse. At a No 10 briefing in March 2020, cabinet minister Michael Gove warned the virus did not discriminate. “Everyone is at risk,” he announced.
And nothing could be further from the truth, argues Professor Woolhouse, an expert on infectious diseases at Edinburgh University. “I am afraid Gove’s statement was simply not true,” he says. “In fact, this is a very discriminatory virus. Some people are much more at risk from it than others. People over 75 are an astonishing 10,000 times more at risk than those who are under 15.”
And it was this failure to understand the wide variations in individual responses to COVID-19 that led to Britain’s flawed responses to the disease’s appearance, he argues – errors that included the imposition of a long-lasting, national lockdown. This is a strategy that Woolhouse – one of the country’s leading epidemiologists – describes as morally wrong and highly damaging in his forthcoming book, The Year the World Went Mad: A Scientific Memoir. …
“We were mesmerised by the once-in-a-century scale of the emergency and succeeded only in making a crisis even worse. In short, we panicked. This was an epidemic crying out for a precision public health approach and it got the opposite.”
Prof Woolhouse argues that largely voluntary behaviour changes, as in Sweden, would have been sufficient to limit the impact. But we instead went for an enforced lockdown, in part because because modern technology made it possible.
However, Prof Woolhouse criticises the Great Barrington Declaration, arguing it “would have led to an epidemic far larger than the one we eventually experienced in 2020”, and that it also “lacked a convincing plan for adequately protecting the more vulnerable members of society, the elderly and those who are immuno-compromised”.
Unfortunately, he still supports attempting to suppress the virus using masks, testing and other measures intended to make interactions ‘safe’. And while he is emphatic in opposing lockdowns – “Lockdowns aren’t a public health policy. They signify a failure of public health policy” – he is a proponent of responding to the next variant with a pre-prepared “sliding scale of interventions and trigger points for implementing them”.
In other words, he still supports ongoing extreme public health interventions that seriously impede people’s ability to live normally, run businesses, access healthcare and so on, he just doesn’t call them ‘lockdowns’. Presumably he is unfamiliar with the studies that show such interventions do little or nothing to suppress the virus.
Still, allies on some points aren’t always allies on others, and it’s good to have another eminent voice decrying lockdowns as “mad”, and even getting sympathetic coverage in the Observer. A sign of things to come, perhaps.
Worth reading in full.

He sounds like an irrational twat.
People like this scare the hell out of me. Dr John Ioannidis spelled out the infection fatality rate nearly two years ago. Nothing has changed.
Non pharmacological interventions like masks, school and business closures, lockdowns have been one big disaster. And yet educated people like this man simply turn their back on the truth, the science. Anyone know who funds his research?
[1] Here is an extract from Factfullness by Hans Rosling and the dangers of the Urgency Instinct. It was written before the current hysteria but give examples of why ‘Lockdowns’ are bad.
Chapter 10 – The Urgency Instinct [Part 1]
“If it’s not contagious, then why did you evacuate your children and wife?” asked the mayor of Nacala, eyeing me from a safe distance behind his desk. Out the window, a breathtaking sun was setting over Nacala district and its population of hundreds of thousands of extremely poor people, served by just one doctor – me.
Earlier in the day I had arrived back in the city from a poor coastal area in the north named Memba. There I had spent two days using my hands to diagnose hundreds of patients with a terrible, unexplained disease that had completely paralyzed their legs within minutes of onset and, in severe cases, made them blind. And the mayor was right; I wasn’t 100% sure it was not contagious. I hadn’t slept the previous night but had stayed up, pouring over my medical textbook, until I had finally concluded that the symptoms I was seeing had not been described before. I’d guessed this… Read more »
[2] Here is the 2nd part of the extract from Factfullness by Hans Rosling and the dangers of the Urgency Instinct.
Chapter 10 – The Urgency Instinct [Part 2]
When the sun rose over Memba the next morning, some 20 women and their youngest children were already up, waiting for the morning bus to take them to the market in Nacala to sell their goods. When they learned the bus had been cancelled, they walked down to the beach and asked the fishermen to take them by the sea route instead. The fishermen made room for everyone in their small boats, probably happy to be making the easiest money of their lives as they sailed south along the coast.
Nobody could swim and when the boats capsized in the waves, all the mothers and children and fishermen drowned.
That afternoon I headed north again, past the roadblock, to continue to investigate the strange disease. As I drove through Memba I came across a group of people lining up on the roadside dead bodies they had pulled out of the sea. I ran down to the beach but it was too late. I asked a man carrying the body of a… Read more »

Ivermectin help reduce the severity of vaccine adverse reactions. If someone is suffering from a post vaccine syndrome, FLCCC clinicians and a growing network of colleagues have reported significant clinical responses to ivermectin. Because Ivermectin has 5 different mechanisms of action against coronaviruses, the medication is also effective with the different variants of the virus. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
um, isn’t Prof Woolhhouse one of those media savvy members of SAGE who we’ve heard frequently advocating for restrictions of all types over the last nearly 2 years? Bit rich isn’t it? Selling a book stating what human beings with a real conscience towards their fellow beings knew March 2020.
Woolhouse seems a bit confused at times here, stating that we should have protected the vulnerable and elderly (as stated in GBD) but also stating that GBD was a load of rubbish because it advocated protecting the vulnerable but didn’t give any firm ideas for how to protect those people. And yet I don’t see any ideas from him in this article either. I do agree that GBD was very light on details, which was always going to lead to its being somewhat dismissed, however I have heard Sunetra Gupta, Martin Kulldorff etc say that they had envisaged that those with more knowledge of the issues involved would be able to come up with a plan.
I do remember some time around the early summer in 2020, as lockdown dragged on for considerably more than 3 weeks, Woolhouse did come out and say that he (and others on SAGE etc) would never have gone along with the lockdown if they’d known it would become so perpetual. They’d only ever seen it as a very short term emergency measure.
“People over 75 are an astonishing 10,000 times more at risk than those who are under 15.”
… as people over 75 are more threatened by death! Bad statistics.
Good overall thrust – but poor analysis in this sentence, and totally inaccurate statement about the overall severity as a once in a generation catastrophe. Verifiable nonsense.
The guy is still an epidemiologist without perspective.
It wasn’t a failure to understand that the virus was only dangerous to the very elderly and those with obesity-related co-morbidities. They knew that from Italy and the Diamond Princess.
Gove lied; the 3rd division in Cabinet just went along with it and Johnson didn’t want to be blamed for deaths.
So they destroyed millions of lives instead.
If this person wants to suppress the population based on the entirely misguided notion that this would halt viral transmission, he’s an enemy and not an ally. That’s he’s seeking to rebrand this in order to make it more palatable means he’s also trying to deceive the involuntary objects of the population control experiments he’d like to conduct in the near future (“responding to the next variant”).
Rule of thumb: If it gets featured in the Guardian, it should be considered evil until proven otherwise beyond reasonable doubt.
Every f***ing medic in a tweed jacket is a moral philosopher nowadays.
The opinion that has been spread among medics – by exactly the same people at the top who have spread different opinions among larger audiences, because this is how modern propaganda works (hello Edward Bernays): see “trade journals” – is that “lockdown was only necessary for vulnerable groups”. That’s what almost every medic in the country “thinks”, even if they won’t say it in front of the scum patients.
They think they’re real insiders for holding that opinion, several cuts above the “man and woman in the street”. But in fact they don’t see the big picture. They’ve never seen a big picture in their whole lives. They haven’t got the intelligence. All they’re interested in is money, status, and luxury holidays. I mean seriously, even if you start from their impoverished shitty little role-playing outlook, the first question you would ask if you had any intelligence (i.e. if you knew how to think for yourself) would “So why on earth was a generalised lockdown imposed?” And I can tell you, it’s not because of poor intellect on the part of administrators or low grades in moral philosophy.

“Prof Woolhouse argues that largely voluntary behaviour changes, as in Sweden, would have been sufficient to limit the impact.”
Here’s from France24.com:
“At the beginning of December, Sweden enacted new rules requiring individuals to have a passport at all events with more than 100 people. Following that announcement, the number of people who got microchips inserted under their skin rose: around 6,000 people in Sweden have so far had a chip inserted in their hands.”
Yep, microchipped like cattle. I reckon they’d have gone with a metal tag in the ear, but were scared their citizens weren’t quite emasculated enough for that yet.
Why did Sweden not go with a full-on lockdown like the rest of Europe? Perhaps the answer to this lies in the millions they’ve imported from the developing world over the last decade?
Pre-plandemic, the high number of bombings, grenade attacks and gang warfare incidents in Sweden were getting quite a lot of media attention. Or rather, the MSM was finding it ever harder to cover-up these incidents.
The vast majority of these millions of new people in Sweden don’t see themselves as immigrants. They believe themselves to be colonists and conquerors. As such, if Sweden’s de… Read more »
Lockdowns have nothing whatsoever to do with public health. They are a control technique. The world isn’t just going to reset itself. It needs a helping hand.
Face coverings were worn to help stop bacterial infections, they are not perfect but do a job in cynical settings. There is not a face covering / mask in existence that stops viral spread as to do so would need no air to pass a barrier. This is not rocket science. But real science. So why have they implemented face coverings around the globe ?
Psychological warfare. Obedience priming.
What else can account for forcing people to do things that are ineffective or unnecessary?
Intimidation, alienation, psychological stress, pressure, compliance, fear stoking – you name it – just look into the eyes of the alienated masked with no mouths or ‘human contact’ – no smile or facial expression. Constant reminder of ‘sickness’ re-defining healthy people as permanently ‘ill’.
Total zomboid control.
Pure de-humanising evil…all in a paper mask
They also make you ill – which they will see as a bonus as permanent ‘illness’ and sickness paranoia is to be part of their New Normal. to feed you to the Pharma companies!
This “New Normal’ will be a joyless existence indeed – for all but the Elites!
Has such an Evil project ever before been devised for Mankind?
Prof Woodhouse is closer to the kingdom than his peers. But the blunt truth is, had we done nothing, 2020 would have been a normal year. I’m hard-pressed to find anyone with pull who does not argue within the paradigm.
Trouble is, despite massive evidence of the failures and harms, nothing is falsifying the legitimacy of the same old narrative and approach.
This is still a PCR/Media scamdemic – people must abandon the MSM – for good and simply assume all in Government are liars to make any sense of, or progress out of this nightmare they have so carefully constructed to ensnare us.
Currently people are behaving like rats in a trap!
We must retain access to MSM to judiciouusly read it against the grain or just for weather and sport. I now avoid it for any other reason.
Ahh yes ‘the weather’, from people who cannot predict weather a week from now but know exactly what the weather will be like 100 years from now – and the only way of stopping it is communism.
In my experience they can’t predict the weather an hour from now!
In lieu of a DS weather forecast, sometimes we have to rely on these things!
You beat me to it. 😀
In other words, he still supports ongoing extreme public health interventions that seriously impede people’s ability to live normally, run businesses, access healthcare and so on, he just doesn’t call them ‘lockdowns’.
Can someone explain to me how testing seriously impedes people’s ability to live normally, run businesses, access healthcare and so on.
New years day family gathering stalled due to relative living in care not being allowed to attend unless everybody else present took an LFT test. The state interfering in family affairs. There’s your example you stupid shill.
Come on – taking a LFT is free, painless and takes about 5 minutes. How can you describe that as seriously impeding their lives? It is not even specific for Covid. If there was a lot of flu about and there was a free, easy test available, would you not recommend the family take the test before visiting a vulnerable relative?
Why would you test yourself if you felt perfectly well? What’s the point? I can assure you, if you are coming down with flu you know about it, you don’t need to take a test. How to infantilise a population – make them think they are unable to tell when they are ill.
If you have flu you can infect people for about 24 hours before symptoms develop. So imagine such a test existed and there was a flu epidemic. Would you not use it? Or do your principles prevent you taking this free and painless step to avoid endangering your loved ones?
Why shouldn’t people be infected with a dose of ‘flu now and then? It’s good for them. You may feel a bit rotten for a few days, but it’s a little kick to your immune system, keeps it active.
“Endangering your loved ones” – blackmail by using emotion. Do you sell timeshare holiday apartments?
Do we all know perfectly healthy people ( former friends!) who sniffle in winter and rush to be tested – half a dozen / a dozen times?
I cannot longer even speak to them – they are largely responsible for where we are.
All these tests are either fraudulent or totally unreliable.
Go fuck yourself 77 times.
No, I would not. First, it’s not free but enormously expensive and the government uses some of our money to pay for it. And then, it’s useless except for publishing case statistics: A negative test result now doesn’t mean anything for the situation in five minutes. And neither does a positive test result. Plus, the positive result doesn’t imply that people are infectious or will become sick. It’s just a somewhat useful diagnostic aid for determining the cause of an illness manfesting itself in form of symptoms.
LFTs aren’t ‘free’ – I don’t think China just hands them over without money changing bank accounts.
LFTs take about 15 minutes.
They aren’t accurate and it was recommended months ago that they shouldn’t be used because of their wild results and should be thrown in the bin.
Not to mention the pollution they create.
It is a basic insult to freedom to suspect everyone of ‘being infected’ with ‘a virus’, and ‘unhealthy’.
It is also a magician’s trick, everyone believing they need to be ‘tested’ whilst the real fraud goes on – people are being trussed up and having their possessions stolen.
Enslaving whole populations is evil and disgusting.
It’s the bloody testing that’s keeping this Scam going.
Absolutely and undeniably true. Drosten was a fraud and his PCR test a giant scam.
Any invasive test is an illegal assault on ones inalienable right to bodily autonomy.
Many tests are dangerous, see Abbot test/sodium acide, swab structure, swab technique.
The consequences of testing are often punitive and discrimimatory.
Testing criteria themselves have become very discriminatory.
Testing is very costly and in most cases totally useless, as the tests are neither reliable (see CDC pull because it can’t distinguish between SARS Cov 2 and 1, nor the flu), nor comparable or standardized.
That’s just of the back of my head, not sure whether your question was serious….
Any invasive test is an illegal assault on ones inalienable right to bodily autonomy.
I guess you could make the same claim about a breathalyser.
Many tests are dangerous, see Abbot test/sodium acide, swab structure, swab technique.
I had LTF/PCR tests in mind. Sticking a swab up your nose is not dangerous!
The consequences of testing are often punitive and discrimimatory.
That’s a matter of using the tests properly – it is not a criticism of the tests themselves. E.g. asking people to test themselves before coming to a mutual event is neither punitive nor discriminatory.
Testing criteria themselves have become very discriminatory.
I don’t understand this one. Give me an example.
Testing is very costly and in most cases totally useless,.
To the user a LFT is, of course, free. Private enterprise PCR tests have come down to about £40 – so presumably they cost the NHS much less.

That is a long debate. However, let’s scotch the myth about the CDC. It pulled the current PCR test because it… Read more »
The tests are a fraud. The Drosten PCR test has 97% false positives – it cannot detect a live virus or infection , cannot tell the difference between Sars Cov-2 and flu and when run at 45 cycles of amplification ( rather than at recommended 25 and as revealed by FOI requests) for further distortion of results.
It is totally fraudulent and useless – except for deliberately hyping up Covid Fear and forcing compliance – its principal purpose.
It was ruled fraudulent by a Portuguese Court months ago and has now been withdrawn by the US CDC
Kerry Mullis who invented the original test dismissed its use as inappropriate and fraudulent.
Drosten never had any sample of a complete live virus to work with ( is there one?)- he used computer models and codes provided by the Chinese – it is a massive scam and legal proceedings are being prepared against him internationally for falsifying his qualifications and faking his thesis – look it up!
Testing is oppression masquerading as ‘science’. That is the essence of this Covidian tyranny. It has made ordinary folk into paranoid lunatics and fucked up society.
There is simply so much that is obvious that he doesn’t understand that I think we must be totally wasting our time.
He has seemed OK before. Is he playing devil’s advocate or does he really want to know the detailed reasons we reject testing?
Thanks. I think I need to be clearer about the question I am asking which is how testing seriously impedes people’s ability to live normally. I am not asking if the tests are accurate. I think they are – but that is a long and different debate. I am asking, how does a process which is free, harmless, takes 5 minutes and is very easy to do seriously impede your life? Even if the tests were completely useless, and it was just a matter of etiquette, it doesn’t seem to be much of a burden.
5 minutes is 1/20 of an hour, hence, doing twenty tests equals an hour of life irretrievably lost. As there’s no inherent upper limit on the number of tests which will be required of someone, the amount of lifetime lost with doing them has no inherent upper limit, either.
Procuring a test won’t usually be possible in 5 minutes.
Government pouring taxpayer money in this emphatically means it’s not free, both because of the direct cost of the tests and because the money could otherwise have been used for something more sensible.
At current levels testing is costing in the region of £240 million.
Mabye true (I’m not implying anything, I just don’t know) but misses the point: It was claimed that LFTs were free for the population. But that’s not true because the government paid for them using money taken from the population.
My point was it is free for the user at the point of deciding whether to be tested.
If you are concerned about the cost to the taxpayer, it appears to be negligible. If it costs £240 million (per year?) then that is of course about £3 a person. Another way of looking at it is that a privately purchased LFT is between £4 and £5. The government will get them a lot cheaper than that when buying several million and there will be no profit margin or VAT. So the cost to the taxpayer is going to be £1 or £2 a test.
It seems most people are fine with testing, on the surface it seems innocuous. It is however guidance not compulsory, yet as with masks and all other restrictions is being presented as de facto compulsory by gov propaganda. This raises fear levels tremendously for no good reason. Testing is intrusive and endless and has become obsessive for many people. It has no effect in tackling an innocuous disease but prolongs the endless tyranny we’re living in. Like masks it has been imposed as a new normal but it is manipulative to the core. We are no nearer normal normalcy but farther away! Nobody should have to constantly ‘prove’ they don’t have a cold. This is my take, I think you have the others’ views! For the record, I know it can be crap getting abusive responses on DS, but let’s all try and stick together and keep our sanity 😁
Of course testing results become statistics manipulated by gov to keep the tyranny going. Covid Ourobouros.
I think I understand now. If you believe that
a) the tests don’t work
or
b) Covid is nothing to worry about for anyone
Then getting tested is a pain because you might get a positive result and have to isolate for no reason.
I don’t believe a) or b) but that is a very long discussion.
Let me explain my position through an example.
I belong to a very active amateur drama group. We continue to meet regularly and enjoy ourselves with the one mutually agreed rule that we regularly test ourselves. We ask the same of our audiences. This allows life to continue as normal and everyone to relax and enjoy it. Even if the whole testing business is an illusion, the fact is that this is what most people believe and without the rule the group would stop its activities.
One longstanding and active member refuses to get tested (he doesn’t say why) and thus cuts himself off from the society (He also refused to attend his own goddaughter’s wedding for the same reason). No doubt he is bravely standing by his principles as he sees them, I know him to be a person of great… Read more »
No. It is the mania and the government who have made his life less rich, with you as a willing accomplice (collaborator).
Obviously you have different beliefs from me about the utility and objective of tests. The fact remains that he has it in his power to lead what is close to a normal life and has chosen not to. It is a curious inversion of the narrative that sceptics go on leading full normal lives while people like me are cowering in our houses or behind masks fooled by government and big pharma.
“which is free”
It is costing huge amounts which aren’t available to spend elsewhere.
“harmless”
A friend had a serious nosebleed after the invasive procedure and others have reported that it is often uncomfortable and sometimes actually painful.I’ve read plausible reports of worse things than nosebleeds happening. And it is simply dishonest to pretend that the test involves just “sticking a swab up your nose”: the invasion of your head is far greater than that.
“takes 5 minutes” Each time.
“seriously impede your life”. If you test positive, aren’t you meant to seriously restrict your behaviour?
“Even if the tests were completely useless, and it was just a matter of etiquette, it doesn’t seem to be much of a burden.”
Doesn’t the same apply to the Hitler salute?
I’ve never been tested, never worn a mask, never been jabbed because I refuse to go along with any of the policies that have very clearly never been about the trivial threat posed by this virus.
Every time someone gets a ‘positive’ from an LFT it ruins their day, their outing, their visit to someone. They feel as if they are ‘infectious’ and must then isolate at home for 10 days, and to go and maybe get a ‘more accurate’ PCR test – and of course, if that comes out as a ‘positive’, that’s another statistic (or two if you count the LFT as well) added to ‘the cases’.
Even if ‘true’, a ‘positive’ does not mean that person is infectious or ill. But it can certainly have a blow psychologically, cause inconvenience, arguments at home, and so on.
The main thing is, people are testing themselves for ‘a disease’ that really matters not one jot. How many people are really in hospital because of ‘Covid’? No-one knows, the hospitals won’t let us in to have a look round for ourselves.
I do not know of anyone who has had Covid, let alone gone to hospital or died from it – everyone in our village and local towns seems to still be there – no-one missing. Where is this ‘pandemic’?
Supermarkets open, football matches ongoing, public trnasport running – in a pandemic…

I guess it does depend on whether you think the tests work and are testing for a real condition with a real risk. You live a remarkably sheltered life. I seem to be surrounded by a tsunami of cases.
200 Euros for a PCR in Finland. It’s a scam. The floggers of these tests know their victims have no choice but to pay up.
Look up Faisal Shoukat and his RT Diagnostics ‘company’ (Halifax, UK) to see one example of a PCR-service flogging scammer.
The tests are also designed to humiliate people, by having them lean back and letting ‘a nurse’ shove a cotton bud up their nostrils. Bend over for The State. Show yourself to be subservient. Raped by The State, that is what this is all about – your dignity, and money taken from you.
Another misinformation piece.
They are softening people up for the next phase. Anyone taking anything at face value is an idiot (sorry if that sounds offensive)
They are going to manipulate public opinion again. Now the vaxxed will be painted as heroes who have done the right thing and so deserve a “reward”. That will be “freedom” via the vax pass.
The non-vaxed will be sold to the majority as assorted loons and conspiracy nuts who shouldn’t be allowed to hold everyone else to ransom.
The health “data” will of course be manipulated to suit.
The cov19 may well dwindle from news but be supplanted by another illness, the vaxxed will get another jab and carry on while the unvaxxed fall further behind.
Obviously this push has been ongoing for a few months but it’s getting greater impetus everywhere now. NZ and Aus are ahead on this and unfortunately it’s working.
15 million committed resistors. Thats a critical mass which is growing by the day. This isnt over. Not by a long shot.

that shares how Fauci and Collins in the USA, per emails discovered via FOI, went about destroying the Great Barrington Declaration in the USA and then in the UK working with Dominic Cummings! “Across the pond, they were joined by their close colleague, Dr. Jeremy Farrar, the head of the Wellcome Trust, one of the world’s biggest non-governmental funders of medical research. He worked with Dominic Cummings, the political strategist of UK prime minister Boris Johnson. Together, they orchestrated “an aggressive press campaign against those behind the Great Barrington Declaration and others opposed to blanket COVID-19 restrictions.”
Thanks for this – very informative – but very deeply and depressingly shocking !
Cummings! These people simply have no morality and no shame.

British Heart Foundation normalising young healthy people collapsing.
All involved in making this are sick, sick individuals.
As someone who suffers with heart issues I wrote to the BHF at the start asking why they supported masks for people with heart disease.
The response was a disgustingly sycophantic rehash of the government’s own nonsense.
Absolutely disgraceful.
No “Medicine” , No Science – from now on its all Pharma profit and control politics -welcome to the Great Health Tyranny Reset ( slogan” We own Your Body”).
No Jab – No Vaxx Pass. Tied down forever.
That is sick. See my comment below.
Al the decent people have been cleared out of positions of authority in all our Institutions over the last two decades – it started with Blair of course.
Schwab has played a long game.
He opposes lockdowns if they’re called lockdowns, in other words.
Woodhouse is dangerous and about as trustworthy as the Bozo.
Has he seen the interviews with proponents of re-purposed, often out of patent, medicines that can successfully treat early stage viral infection with SARS?
Sounds like he has not or is persuaded that they don’t work by the unscrupulous in-patent drug pushers.
The “Great Ivermectin Suppression Scandal” is just waiting for a Free Press – now in vain I suspect.
Also, Hydroxychloroquine (the HCQ scandal is illuminating, but rarely gets past the ‘Trump recommended it’ part of the story). Also, budesonide, fluvoxomine, monoclonal antibodies, UV, iodine/salt and so on.
In fact, any cheap & effective treatment.
Surely even the brainwashed could see a pattern emerging – were they aware of it. . .
This is a point worth repeating ad nauseum, as it puts the lie to the claim that it’s about public health.
Drive it home, over and over.
A bit of CYA by an establishment figure and former proponent of it all.
One correction: it was made possible by modern technology, zero rates/MMT and the miseducation of generations for many decades.
Another supposed expert on infectious diseases showing they know nothing about infectious diseases, please stop promoting his book.
Nothing about the horrors of vaccinating children with experimental gene therapy.
Please publish an article featuring Dr Robert Malone, surely being the father of mRNA delivery technology makes him qualified on the subject.
So after claiming lockdowns are devastating, he goes on to laud all the other bullshit and criticises the only sane scientists on earth that suggested the correct response at Great Barrington.
So what’s the point of him?
Daily Mail report that scientists at UCL and Warwick just discovered something called “T cell immunity “.
Honestly people are so fucking dumb. Maybe a cull is just what we need.
“However, they discovered other immune system cells, called T cells, similar to those found in the immune systems of people who have recovered from Covid.
Like antibodies, T cells are created by the immune system to fend off invaders. But while antibodies stop viral cells from entering the body, T cells attack and destroy them.
It is now known that Covid antibodies can begin to wane in a matter of months both after infection and after vaccination.
However, T cells remain in the system for longer and will have snuffed out the virus before it had a chance to infect healthy cells or do any damage, experts suggested.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10360873/Mounting-evidence-suggests-people-naturally-Covid-resistant-virus-mutates.html
Dr Malone waxes lyrical on how we are destroying our T cell response to the virus by repeated jabs in exactly the same way people are ‘desensitised’ to e.g. pollen – you end up with no defence, fine if there are no serious consequences, not so much when you train your immune system to ignore a dangerous virus.
The recent Rogan podcasts with Peter McCullough and Robert Malone will do some big damage to the narrative.

You could say it is a disguised ‘light hit piece’ aimed at the sceptical on the sensible strategy of the GBD – a strategy dismissed out of hand by the Johnson Cabal and their Marxist Globalist Sage members and ‘Gates’ Stooge Scientific Advisers’- without so much as a comment- as they implemented their “orders from above” to the letter ( even pushing the Lockdowns Ferguson thought the British public might resist – how he overestimated them!).

Always worthwhile knowing what the enemy is up to.
“In fact, this is a very discriminatory virus. “
