Never mind ‘that’ interview – keep being afraid, very afraid!
Just because some ‘other news’ story is still filling the front pages of our MSM doesn’t mean that covid and lockdowns have gone away. There are some rather pernicious pieces which have been dropped into the covid brew. Regarding that ‘other news’ story, I shall say this only once: if the combined MSM weren’t providing breathing space for it, with their wall-to-wall coverage, this ‘interview event’ would have fizzled out already.
And so – back to covid. It is quite amazing, but there it is: the covidians in government, MSM and NHS aren’t singing from the same hymn sheet. In a Sunday TV show we were told by a PHE boss that the autumn would-could-might become as bad as the one last year and that ‘we must be prepared’. Now, in a report about falling covid hospital admissions we read:
“Nightingale Hospitals in England will be shut down next month, the NHS said last night amid dramatic declines in Covid-19 hospitalisations and death and case numbers. The NHS described the network as the “ultimate insurance policy” but they remained largely empty throughout most of the pandemic due to staffing shortages. […] The government provided funding last summer to keep the temporary hospitals open until March.” (paywalled link)
Not one word about the possibility that this dramatic decline in covid hospital cases might have been due to the mass vaccination of the elderly, the most vulnerable. It seems this simply just happened, a sort of strange coincidence. However, this result doesn’t mean BJ will ‘open up early’, oh no! He’s keeping to the ‘science’, ably supported by another PHE person who told the reporters at yesterday’s government PR ‘event’ that ‘things could still spiral out of control’. In a nice little goalpost-shifting exercise we’re told that
“officials were still waiting to see concrete evidence of national hospital admission rates staying down as a result of the jabs.” (link)
I’ll ask a naive question: if the covid authorities ‘still can’t be sure’ – does that mean the mass vaccination with whatever vaccine isn’t working? Shouldn’t we be told? Here’s another hint that, apparently, the covid ’authorities’ don’t care about those sinking numbers. At that same PR performance, BJ told the part of the MSM not occupied by ‘yon interview’ that:
“people and businesses would “trade haste in favour of security and certainty about dates”. He pointed to recent rises in cases across Europe as a sign of what could soon happen here, insisting that infections were “still very high by the standards of last year”. (link, paywalled)
Now there’s strange! We know from another report that mass vaccination ‘across Europe’ has been abysmal and still is – see the nice list in this report (link)on Ms vdLeyen and her hapless EU Commission still being hell-bent on preventing the Oxford vaccine ‘leaving’ the EU even though covid health authorities in EU member states aren’t even using those they’ve got as Ms vdLeyen begged Pres Biden to please give the EU some of their spare Oxford vaccine doses. Words fail me, as so often when ‘covid’ and ‘EU’ appear in the same report.
There’s another decidedly odd aspect touched upon by BJ and his PHE sidekick yesterday. It’s about the schools opening. We’re told that
“Johnson said there would be an “inevitable” increase in infection with the return of schools, but insisted: “We think it’s manageable, we think it’s right, we think we’re prudent.” Harries [PHE] said schools reopening would bring extra infections but this was “just as likely” to be from people meeting at school gates as in class. […] Harries insisted that mass testing would make schools “inherently safer”. But she said there “may be a very short period” at the start of the testing programme where a “larger number of children” could be forced home to self-isolate.” (link, paywalled)
Why they still think that mass testing makes us ‘safe’ is something I cannot fathom. BJ and the PHE person seem to think that self-quarantine of school children due to mass testing is acceptable even though they clearly mention that cases might rise ‘because of mingling at the school gates’ – no, that argument escapes me.
It seems that the acres of articles about how kids have been damaged for years to come by lockdown hasn’t found an echo in the covid empire. That lot is still pursuing a covert ‘no covid’ strategy. That lot knows full well they have the power to give with one hand and take away with the other. This is nicely documented in the following quote, taken from The Times’ second article on that book about covid we wrote about yesterday (link). The concluding sentences in this quote say it all:
“The Eat Out to Help Out initiative was hailed as a triumph for chancellor Rishi Sunak, but it was too effective, according to researchers from Warwick University, who found that it had increased Covid-19 cases by between 8 per cent and 17 per cent. The report’s author, Professor Thiemo Fetzer, wasn’t alone in concluding that the scheme was a mistake. “It wasn’t about support for restaurants, otherwise it would have counted for takeaways,” a Sage source said. “It was to break our fear and it worked.” He added: “We were obviously going to have to reverse that. It just seemed insane.” (link, paywalled)
Note that this SAGE ‘source’ acknowledges that they knew their ‘fear strategy’, strangling the country, needed to be broken. Even so, they treated this little anti-fear ‘exercise’ as some nationwide laboratory experiment which they could switch off whenever they liked. ‘Insane’ – oh yes, but not the Sunak initiative, no: it’s the SGAEs who clearly were and are insane.
Meanwhile the ‘covid fear’ is being stoked up in another report in the DM. The authors have apparently scoured medical journals from across the world where doctors have written about ‘diseases’ which allegedly were triggered by covid. Yes – “we” must be afraid, very afraid, but thankfully in the same article there’s a lovely report on Brian Blessed’s response to the DM ‘health quiz’. Scroll down here and enjoy – it made me grin!
I leave you with some serious news from Germany. The Times reports that a German publisher had to pulp a children’s book published last summer because it said the virus came from China:
”The picture book, ‘A Corona Rainbow for Anna and Moritz’, was released last summer to help younger children understand the changes the pandemic was bringing to their lives. It was based on scientific advice from a tropical medicine institute in Hamburg. At one point in the book, Anna and Moritz’s father says: “The virus comes from China and has spread out from there across the whole world.” (link, paywalled)
There was a concerted campaign in the last few weeks, by ‘concerned Chinese parents living in Germany. As that book was published last summer, one might well ask ‘what took them so long’. One might also wonder (not!) about the power behind this concerted campaign:
“Over the past week […] a series of one-star reviews posted on the book’s Amazon page, some using the same phrases, accused the authors of “spreading racism among children in Germany”. The Chinese consulate in Hamburg said it had lodged “stern representations” with the publisher.” (link, paywalled)
For background, see the headlines for the Wall Street Journal report of four days ago:
“WHO Investigators to Scrap Plans for Interim Report on Probe of Covid-19 Origins – U.S.-China tensions rise over investigation as group of scientists presses for fresh inquiry, including into lab escape theory” (link, paywalled).
Well, this gives a whole new meaning to that ‘No Covid’ strategy: it’s now the ‘No Chinese Covid’ strategy. Clearly, Chinese citizens living anywhere in Western countries can be corralled by the long arm of Beijing to mount a campaign in order to suppress any mentioning of the covid origin. It seems that the CCP has learned from the West, using ‘racist!’ as a club to suppress Free Speech.
So let’s be afraid, very afraid – not of the virus but of the ongoing destruction of our free society. However, for as long as I can, I shall call it “WuFlu”.
KBO!
Apologies – there won’t be a Daily Column today (10th March). I’ve got a horrible cold and can hardly see out of my eyes.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as I can.
Get well soon Viv and thank you for telling us, so that we won’t have to worry.
I’m worried sick about Viv hardly seeing out of her eyes. We can not talk to her if she cannot see.
Oh yes. I forgot to comment on shutting down the Nightingale Hospitals. Now what is that supposed to mean? They have not been used. They are empty. There are no staff, nor even beds in them. So what does ‘being shut down’ mean?
Are they actually going to be dismantled?
Why when in the next breath we are warned that it will all happen again come Autumn.
Looks like the 77th Brigade has discovered this website – judging from the last comment. 😉
I am weary of the “freedom” lovers, those who rail against the perceived “erosion of their civil liberties”: what was it? “The ongoing destruction of our free society”. In New Zealand, and in Western Australia, the population are currently enjoying a lot more freedom than we have – spectators at sporting events, bars and restaurants open – exactly because their governments didn’t fanny about and ask us nicely if we’d mind…etc. They imposed sanction-backed measures such as compulsory quarantine for incomers from early on. It is because of this that they now enjoy “freedom” that we can only wish for. All the crap about “civil liberties” (Being at liberty to infect others with your covid) and “human rights (the right to infect others…) is what our namby-pamby liberal with a small L government are afraid of – even believe in – leaving us where we are, with massive death and infection rates, the prospect of another wave of the pandemic and further economic disruption. And yes, every minute spent by a member of the NHS organising and administering the vaccines is another minute of their being prevented from treating people for other things, from hip replacements to cancer. Everyone who rails against wearing a mask, maintaining social distancing and other measures we are politely asked to observe is helping to prolong this agony of deprivation so many of us feel, from being with loved ones to watching or playing sport to Glastonbury to enjoying a pint in your local to feasting on sea bass in a fennel sauce with dauphinoise potatoes and a glass of Sancerre. Not that I am middle class.
There is no evidence that lockdowns work (except in care homes).
What the hell are you on about Tom Trust?
What do you want back? Join your loved ones in their care home if that is what you want. Or is it Glastonbury you miss? Bloody drink at home and watch sport on tv or video.
“the perceived “erosion of their civil liberties”? Perceived? Wonderful. They have not just been eroded they have been washed away. I think you need glasses, Tom.
And you mention Australia. Another rib tickler. Have you see the state of Dan Andrew’s Victoria? 1984 on steroids.
You also seem to have lapped up the obvious nonsense that anyone who doubts the seriousness of the virus, or the nature of the vaccine, either has ulterior motives or lacks compassion or actively wants to kill granny. You could not get a clearer example of leftist/globalist projection if you tried.
I can agree with your phrase the “agony of deprivation”, but it is not the doubters who have cause that. Turn your fire on the vast alliance of vested interests, that I have pointed out on other occasions (globalist megalomanics, psycopathic – in at least one case – billionaire entrepreneurs, et al.) that is the real cause. The virus is just a tool, whether man-engineered or spontaneous.
BTW, did you now that Gates applied to join the WHO as a country, a one man country, so that his ‘philanthropic’ donations around the world would be classed as state aid? Instead of showing him the door, they actually voted on it. Thankfully the proposal was rejected, but it made little difference. He co-signs things alongside the WHO anyway, as if he was elected or an official of a world body.
If lockdowns continue the Covid Czars from Imperial College can always say that there will be an epidemic of Covid deaths without the lockdowns. Maybe one purpose of the lockdowns is to persuade the public that there is an epidemic.
Undoubtedly Ralph.
To think,all this started with a lie; that covid 19 is a “deadly virus”
It is NOT…unless one also suffers from some other serious medical condition.
So long as the PCR tests continue to be used, Covid will not go away. The test is part of the lie. It was NOT designed for the job it is doing. But, by turning the amplification dial up, or down “cases” can be created,or reduced to suit the political agenda.
Boris is not following the science. Boris is being manipulated by false scientists who will permit NO challenge to their dictats.. and that is not science..
Yes Richard. That amplification dial is one fact that has been conveniently swept under the carpet isn’t it.
Quite amazing isn’t it Viv, that the covidians aren’t singing from the same hymn sheet.
Do you think perhaps they are testing the waters to see which way to run next?
Personally I think the most important issue to put a stop to, is the vaccine passport scheme. Big Brother Watch are fighting that and want us all to join in the fight.
“How coronavirus may trigger diseases from diabetes to MS – and damage the brain… now experts are warning the virus may also cause a range of serious illnesses”
Strange that they are not reporting on the vast range of reactions worldwide, from mild and temporary to life-changing or death, from the gene therapy injection, that very much match those they are now attributing to the virus. Misdirection at its finest?
We already know of the numerous cases of clusters of deaths ‘from Covid’ of old folk in previously Covid-free homes shortly after they all had the ‘vaccine’.
And to list autoimmune reactions as a response to the virus is surely taking the proverbial: that very reaction (Antibody Dependent Enhancement), primed by the ‘vaccine’, is a very real prospect ahead of us, according to many silenced genuine experts. Are they preparing the way to blame that on a new vicious strain of the virus rather than our ‘saviour’ ‘vaccines’?
Herpes Simplex 1, the Cold Sore virus can cause blindness, deafness and brain damage. One of the Shingles Vaccines (the one I was given) activates Herpes Simplex 1 to an enormous degree, far greater than any normal outbreak.
Almost no one has even heard about it. That is just one example of how a Vaccine can cause far more damage and suffering than the disease.
I am not 100% ANTI vaccinations. Maybe in the early years they were beneficial, particularly against bacterial diseases.
Why it was this particular so called pandemic that was singled out for the massive hype, I don’t know.
One thing though, that is very obvious, BIG PHARMA are continuing to rake in the millions.
Meanwhile, western democracies move closer and closer to totalitarian states, previously typical of communist countries.
