MODERNA Vaccine Fraud, People Were Not Injected With mRNA But Something More Dangerous

 Readers of this blog will know that we have always been deeply sceptical of the narratives used to sell people the COVID vaccinations that were developed in not just record time but in an impossibly short time for those vaccines to be developed from scratch and fully tested for safety and efficiency. People who look to alt_media for in depth reporting and commentary are now becoming aware that the vaccines were a scam, they do not confer immunity on recipients nor do they prevent transmission of the disease.

But the news that has emerged in the past few days reveals the psy - op that persuaded whole populations to surrender their rights and liberties in return for an empty promise that only if we complied with 'orders' could the government save us all from a disease that made few people seriously ill and has a lower infection to fatality rate than seasonal 'flu. The narrative built around the mRNA vaccines as they were rushed through the procedures that all medicines should be subjected to was that mRNA (messenger Ribonnucleic acid) would reprogram human immune systems so our bodies could handle the 'deadly' spike protien excreted by the SARS - COV2 virus. It was all bollocks of course.

The mRNA is real enough and according to Britannica "messenger RNA (mRNA), molecule in cells that carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes). The molecule that would eventually become known as mRNA was first described in 1956 by scientists Elliot Volkin and Lazarus Astrachan. In addition to mRNA, there are two other major types of RNA: ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA).

Because information in DNA cannot be decoded directly into proteins, it is first transcribed, or copied, into mRNA (see transcription). Each molecule of mRNA encodes the information for one protein (or more than one protein in bacteria), with each sequence of three nitrogen-containing bases in the mRNA specifying the incorporation of a particular amino acid within the protein. The mRNA molecules are transported through the nuclear envelope into the cytoplasm, where they are translated by the rRNA of ribosomes."

OK, I didn't understand much of that either, so I contacted a friend who is a research biologist and he explained it in simple terms. And most of it still went over my head, but in short the role of mRNA in this case contained in vaccines,) is to carry protein information from the DNA in a cell’s nucleus to the cell’s soft interior (cytoplasm), where the protein-making machinery reads the mRNA sequence and translates each code element into its corresponding amino acid which are the building blocks of protein.

When humans or animals are infected by a virus in the natural course of events or have received a conventional vaccine, the immune system identifies virus-specific proteins from active or inactivated virus particles, respectively.

The two main types of immune cells, T and B cells then kick in to deal with the alien compound. T cells identify infected cells and carry out apoptosis (the cell-killing process), while B cells produce antibodies that bind to the virus and thus prevent infection of other cells.

There are various “proteins”—called antigens—on the surface of each virus. Your immune system can memorize more than one of them. When the virus mutates and some proteins change, your immune system can still recognize and kill them. This is referred to as cross-immunity.

Particularly in the case of respiratory disease, most pathogens are already prevented by the first natural barrier, the mucous membrane. This barrier, however, is bypassed when an intramuscular injection (such as the COVID-19 shot) is administered.

But that is not what happened with the MODERNA vaccine technology because they did not use mRNA but modRNA, a far more dangerous technique for modifying DNA, which was Moderna's intention (the clue is in their name.)

To protect it against being destroyed by the body's natural defences, modified RNA (modRNA) is packaged in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), which, due to their small size and synthetic optimization, can easily overcome the biological barriers of the immune system and even reach vital cells in the heart and brain. This is why so many reports of serious adverse effects from COVID vaccines have cited heart and circulatory problems or damage to brain tissue occuring shortly after vaccination.

According to the theory of RNA-based injections, the antigen (here, the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2) is synthesized by our cells and presented at the cell surfaces, where it serves as a target for the generation of neutralizing antibodies. However, this mechanism is distorted by modRNA and this is where the problems lie.

In addition to prompting the production of neutralizing antibodies, the modRNA triggers cells to produce non-neutralizing antibodies, resulting in antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). This process allows virus-antibody-complexes to invade the host’s immune cells (i.e., macrophages), thus weakening  the immune system. Put simply, non-neutralizing antibodies do not only prevent the immune system fighting off the SARS - COV2 virus, they make a person’s body more susceptible to other illness because the immune system is now busy fighting itself. This is why studies show that follow-up and booster injections make people who receive them more susceptible to a wide range of infections.

The viral spike protein now produced by the body’s cells and presented at the cell surfaces transforms the recipient cell from friend to foe and causes the immune system to initiate the destruction of that cell by apoptosis.

This article is a brief summary of why RNA-based vaccine technology, which was invented several decades ago and abandoned as useless and potentially dangerous until recently, is and will always be inferior to natural infection and conventional vaccines, as viruses mutate far more rapidly than the pharmaceutical industry can produce new, adapted vaccines. None of the Boggart Bloggers are biologists or medical professionals but we are all good researchers and approached this issue not from a medical angle but with the intent of providing more evidence of the massive psy-op that has recently been perpetrated by the ruling elites on the majority. Like anyone else we can only speculate on the goals that have driven this project.

Dedollarisation Gathers Pace As Biden's Administration Gathers Dust

 In spite of our resident money and finance expert, along with myself and other contributors regularly being described as anti - American clowns, employees of Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping, Nazis, capitalist scum and a some rather more colourful things when we write about currency wars and the decline of the US$ as China, Russia, Iran and other emerging economies plot and conspire to replace the US$ as global reserve currency, de - dollarisation is a fact.  From Brazil to Saudi Arabia, and from India to Argentina, and increasing number of nations are 'reportedly' shifting away from the dollar hegemon.

The Dollar Index (or any other index tracking movements in the currency market) reveals an underlying trend. Year on year for the past decade the dollar's share of world trade is declining. This is a relative measure of course, US pseudo - patriots will be able to point to increases in the total amount of trade done in dollars, it's true. But the global economy is growing too, and the amount of trade done in dollars as a proportion of all international trade is steadily declining. 


Picture: Zero Hedge

The dollar's fecal emissions are some way from hitting any rapidly rotating wind turbine yet,  but Stephen Jen, a currency trading guru  who now runs money at Eurizon SLJ,  recently speelled out exactly how rapidly the de-dollarization is ocurring.

Jen, warned in a recent briefing, that the dollar is losing its reserve status at a faster pace than generally accepted, as many analysts have failed to account for last year’s frantic swings in exchange rates.

“The dollar suffered a stunning collapse in 2022 in its market share as a reserve currency, presumably due to its muscular use of sanctions,” Jen and his colleague Joana Freire wrote.

“Exceptional actions taken by the US and its allies against Russia have startled large reserve-holding countries,” most of which are emerging economies from the so-called Global South, they said.

As this FT infographic illustrates,  if you adjust for price changes the dollar’s share of official global reserve currencies (values of a currency held by foreign governments,) has gone from about 73 per cent in 2001 to around 55 per cent in 2021.

Then, last year, it fell to 47 percent of total global reserves.

 Source: Eurizon SLJ Capital

More ominously, the USD is losing its market share as a reserve currency at a much faster rate than is commonly believed.

"After steady declines in its global market share for the past two decades, in 2022 the dollar lost market share at a pace 10 times as rapidly. Analysts have failed to detect this big change because they calculate the nominal value of the world’s central banks’ dollar holdings without considering the changes in the price of the dollar. Adjusting for these price changes, the dollar, we calculate, has lost some 11 percent of its market share since 2016 and double that amount since 2008.

This erosion in the USD’s reserve currency status has accelerated precipitously since the start of the war in Ukraine. Exceptional actions taken by the US and its allies against Russia have startled large reserve-holding countries, most of which are from the Global South.

...Without the need for us to take sides in this debate on Ukraine, it seems reasonable to speculate that the main driver of the collapse in USD’s reserve status in 2022 may have reflected a panicked reaction to property rights being jeopardised. What we witnessed in 2022 was sort of a ‘defund-the-global-police’ moment, whereby many reserve managers in the world disagreed with the conduct of both Russia and the US."

To put it bluntly the greenback’s share in global reserves slid last year at 10 times the average speed of the past two decades as a number of countries looked for alternatives after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered sanctions.

As any economist or corporate CFO will tell you there are two pillars that maintain the US dollar in is dominant position and thus prop up the entire American economy: its role as the reserve currency of choice, and its dominant use in global finance and trade. Investors far too often confuse these two different concepts.

Stephen Jen argues. "While the Global South seems unwilling to continue to hold dollar assets, they  have lacked the ability to divest from the US dollar as an international currency, particularly for financial transactions."

While it will be very difficult to overcome the strong network effects that have been behind the dollar’s international currency status, the bid led by China, Russia and Iran, now joined by Saudi Arabia, India and Brazil loks strong enough to be capable of doing just that.The key to topple the dollar’s throne as an international currency is predicated on the relative developments and stability in the various financial markets, but with China Russia and Iran having recently cooperated in launching the Petroyuan and announced plans for a gold backed reserve currency to rival the dollar the outlook is bleak for the world's more powerful economy and in the light of internal divisions and the loonytoons policies of the current government it is only likely to become bleaker.

Germany Closes Last Three Nuclear Power Stations As Nation Turns Back To Coal

 by Graham William Lear, 22 April 2023 (originally posted on Medium.com)

The last three nuclear power stations go offline, as Germany goes back to coal

The last three nuclear power stations go offline, as Germany goes back to coal

The country of “Atomkraft? Nein danke” turns Net Zero into ‘Not Close To Net Zero’

On Saturday Germany extinguished its last three remaining nuclear power stations, in a delayed move which started 12 years ago after a policy decision by Angela Merkel. Originally numbering 17, there are now ‘net zero’ nuclear power stations in Germany, but the German coal-fired power plants are being fired up to take up the strain.

At a time when Germany has been in the midst of an energy crisis principally caused by its government’s decisions to rely on President Putin for its energy supplies, (Oh how the Germans laughed when Trump told them they would rue the day) Germany has decoupled its last three remaining nuclear power stations from the electricity grid. Somewhat astonishingly it has been re-commissioning its mothballed coal-fired power stations instead.

What’s the point of expensive UK Net Zero policies when Germany increases its CO2?

In a country where the Greens have been powerful for years — and are now one of the three coalition partners in Olaf Scholz’s government — I question the coherence of Germany’s energy decisions.

I also present evidence of how Germany has been blowing smoke rings across the EU and across Europe as a whole — and how this is set to increase.

Germany’s use of coal to power itself, compared with the UK, 2022

  • Germany: 31.0%
  • UK: 1.6%
  • Germany’s use of coal to generate electricity is over 19 times that of the UK

[Source: Our World in Data/Ember, Oxford University, accessed 17 Apr 2023.]

Germany was already one of the EU’s worst polluters — now it looks set to get worse

When it comes to the worst polluters in the EU, Germany is right up there. Now, thanks to the decisions of the German government, it will pollute the planet even more.

25 years ago Germany was generating almost 30% of its electricity from nuclear power. By 2013, thanks to Angela Merkel, this had almost halved to 15.4%. Now it’s ‘net zero’.

The problem for Germany — an intensive user of energy — is that it must keep its vast industries powered up, and renewables simply will not do that. This is why the German government is now firing up its mothballed coal-fired power stations as I reported months ago) in order to keep its industries going and to keep its people from freezing to death in the sometimes very cold German winters. Oh, how they sniggered at Trump when he warned them about relying on Russian energy, they ait sniggering now are they?

German business is worried and the government is divided

On Saturday Peter Adrian, President of Germany’s DIHK (Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce), told the Rheinische Post

“Despite lower gas prices, energy costs for most businesses in Germany remain high. At the same time, we’re still not out of the woods yet as regards security of supply.”

Germany’s tripartite coalition is not in complete agreement over this policy, with the head of the Free Democratic Party, Christian Lindner “regretting the shutdown”.

Yesterday in Bavaria in southern Germany Premier Markus Söder of the centre-right CSU even demanded his state should be allowed to take control of the Isar 2 nuclear power plant which lies around 50 miles north of Munich. This is one of the three which was permanently taken off the grid the previous night.

“Bavaria is, therefore, demanding that the federal government give states the responsibility for the continued operation of nuclear power. Until the [energy] crisis ends and while the transition to renewables has not succeeded, we must use every form of energy until the end of the decade. Bavaria is ready to face up to this responsibility.

“We are a pioneer in nuclear fusion research and are examining the construction of our own research reactor, in cooperation with other countries. It can’t be that a country of engineers like Germany gives up any claim to shaping the future and international competitiveness.”

Opposition to the nuclear shutdown has taken many forms. It was only in January that the people of the entire village of Lützerath were forcibly evicted and their properties razed to the ground, to make way for an open-cast coal mine. The coal there is lignite, considered to be the worst kind environmentally. Thousands were demonstrated but to no avail.

It’s not the first lignite open cast mine below is the Hambach lignite mine in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia

All the mines look like the photos above

German people have more in common with the British than you might think

Interestingly, the ordinary German people are expressing contrary views to their government, in the same way, that has happened in the UK on many key issues. Here are the results of the latest polling I found in a German newspaper at the weekend. The Forsa survey was conducted for one of Germany’s most-watched TV stations, RTL.

  • Only 28% of Germans favoured switching off the remaining nuclear power stations
  • Two-thirds favour extending the lifespan of nuclear reactors or connecting old plants back to the grid

[Source: Forsa Institute, Berlin, Frankfurt, Dortmund and Hamburg.]

Despite the views of the people, the coalition government of Olaf Scholz went ahead with the decommissioning anyway. Meanwhile, nearly 20 coal-fired power stations have been put back into service in the last year. These are amongst the 151 which I have previously reported on, which are being considered for re-commissioning.

The lies and hypocrisy over ‘Net Zero’ in the EU recently have even surprised ME — and believe me, I am used to it.

I would like to remind readers that Ursula von der Leyen’s Commission’s TOP priority is her ‘Green Deal’. Hundreds of billions have been thrown at this and there is barely an EU press statement on any subject which doesn’t try to tie some policy or other to green issues.

And yet here we have Germany, the largest economy in the EU (by far), with massive industries and the largest population of any EU country, switching off the last of its perfectly functioning nuclear power stations.

Are wind and solar power expected to take up the slack? No. Instead, Germany is powering up its mothballed coal-fired power stations and even creating new open-cast coal mines. And yet the Greens are one of the three parties in power in Germany and they’re all for this? It almost beggars belief.

The big question for British readers is why on earth we should be expected to make enormous sacrifices, stop buying cars we love, stop being able to drive them in metropolitan areas, pay for very expensive ‘heat pumps’, continue to subsidise ‘green energy’ projects on a massive scale, while Germany’s CO2 emissions are going to continue to soar across the continent?

U S Centre for Disease Control Director Admits Vaccines Do Not Prevent COVID Transmission

U S Centre for Disease Control (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky conceded during a Congressional hearing that COVID mRNA vaccinations do not prevent the transmission of the current virus subvariants.  However, using typical government / corporate spin, Walensky also suggested that the vaccines did prevent transmission of the original variants despite there being no data to support this notion.

Her explanation?  It was "evolution of science" and the virus that changed the conditions, rather than the CDC being wrong (or lying?) about the science and the conditions. 

In this video , Pfizer executive Janine Small, challenged by a member of the European Parliament openly admits that the Pfizer COVID vaccines were never tested for blocking transmission.  This was in spite of Pfizer consistently claiming the vaccine prevented the spread of the virus and alleviated symptoms.  Media damage control argued that even though the mRNA products were not tested for transmission prevention by Pfizer, they are still considered useful for disrupting spread.  Data so far suggests that this was a lie:

In 2021 Public Health England and the UK National Health Service (NHS) shows that the vaccinated and unvaccinated had almost identical rates of infectiousness. In other words, a vaccinated person was almost as likely to give you COVID as an unvaccinated person.

In the case of the original outbreak from 2020 to 2021, infections and fatality rates actually plummeted well before the vaccines were widely introduced.  Natural immunity was the most likely factor in the slowdown of the spread.  Transmission was stopped by the human immune system, not the vaccines, the Conspiracy Theorists were right again.

During the same congressional hearing, Walensky also asserted that the CDC will continue to recommend masks in schools in communities where COVID-19 levels are high, again in spite of The Science revealing through multiple studies peer reviewed studies, zero positive results for masks in stopping the transmission of COVID.  Medical authorities continue to ignore these studies in favor of pro-masking policies demanded by fascistic elements in government.

There is a logic behind the otherwise bizarre behavior of governments and medical authorities - They have to persist in dismissing the actual scientific research because their original policies were not based in science, they were based in ideology and a malicious intent to strip citizens of the liberal democracies of the human rights and civil liberties gained by hundreds of years' campaigning against authoritarian elites.  The purpose of government pandemic mandates was control, not public safety.  Officials saw an opportunity to exploit the appearance of a previously unknown virus to generate fear by hyping stories of its infectiousness and deadliness to generate fear an coerce people into accepting the abolition of individual rights while promoting a sense that governments and medical professions were safeguarding us from an existential threat.  And, the strategy almost worked, too.

If it had not been for the incredibly low official Infection to Fatality Rate (IFR) of the virus (only 0.23%, less than seasonal flu,) if the tragic side effects of the vaccines had not become apparent so quickly, and if the tests used to diagnose 'cases' had not been exposed as 'not fit for purpose,' (80% false positives,) and if afroud a third of people in the wealthiest and most advanced nations had not determinedly held out against vaccines we knew were useless and suspected would be dangerous in many cases, and if thousands of private citizens had not been brave enough to take to the streets in porotest and thus block efforts by the USA, UK and EU to impose vaccine mandates and make us all carry vaccine passports (with the threat of being denied jobs, travel rights and basic services if we did not comply,) much of the western world would look very different today, in fact it would look very much like Communist China, where things like freedom and human rights are alien concepts.

it seems most people in Boris Johnson's cabinet during the run up to lockdowns were kept in the dark about many things, including the fact that 'The Science' on which lockdown policy was based was not science at all.

Rishi Sunak, at that time Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance secretary) was one of them. There were rumours at the time that Sunak repeatedly warned that lockdowns would inflict economic damage that was likely to endure for decades.

"Why Do European Union Bosses Hate Us?" Livid EU Farmers Hit Back At Green Agenda

via Zero Hedge, 20 April 2023

European farmers are furious over a bullshit plan by the European Union which would force then to be treated as industrial plants, similar to steel mills or chemical works, in order to force them to cut greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution, the Financial Times reports.

Greek farmer Takis Kazanas, 66, and his four sons run a 230-acre ranch with 300 cattle ranch in the mountains overlooking the Thessalian Plain. While the farmers already capture biogas from cow dung, and use homemade manure vs. chemical fertilizer, Kazanas is one of many farmers up in arms over environmentalist bureaucrats who want to impose crippling new rules on them in order to cut emissions by 55% by 2030 vs. 1990 levels.

Takis Kazanas with his four sons on their farm in northern Greece. Regulators in Brussels are discussing rules that will lead to farms like his being treated as industrial plants, akin to steel mills or chemical works

"That’s what the EU says and that’s what I do," says Kazanas, regarding the 'earth-friendly' measures he already employs. "Today, everyone blames cattle for methane production and pollution . . . I have a different opinion."

The sheer scale of the transformation that the European Commission is asking for in its Farm to Fork strategy — halving the amount of pesticides applied by 2030, cutting the use of fertilisers, doubling organic production and rewilding some farmland — would be remarkable even in less urgent times.

Yet it comes as the war in Ukraine has upended global food markets, and as farmers face a cut in subsidies in the Common Agricultural Policy, the €55bn-a-year programme that has underwritten Europe’s food security since 1962.

The EU argues that the agriculture sector is badly in need of environmental reforms. One senior EU official working on climate policy calls it “our problem child”. -FT

Washington Leaks Show Ukraine Has Lost The War (And Expose The Dishonesty Of Western Governments And Media)

 

The leaked U.S. intelligence documents recently published by many news organisations in western mainstream media have exposed the extent to which pro - war propaganda and disinformation suggesting Ukraine was winning the war have been used to prop up what is now seen to be a US & NATO led effort to weaken Russia and effect regime change.Now the truth is out it looks more likely some western governments are facing regime change campaigns as citizens, tired of sky - high energy costs, soaring food prices (both directly related to the conflict,) and of being lied to as ruling elites pursue policies that can only benefit maybe one tenth of one per cent of the population (and that is probably a gross over estimate.)

T,his picture of a town in eastern Ukraine summing up the extent of Ukraine's 'victory', this image was not reported by mainstreram media of course. (Picture: Pinterest)

A commentary on the current status of the conflict in Ukraine published by the Washington Post  last week must have traumatised people who have only been reading about the Ukraine war in The Washington Post and other Western media. Under the headline: 

“U.S. doubts Ukraine counteroffensive will yield big gains, leaked document says.”

t he story admits, probably for the first time in mainstream media, that readers and audiences have been gossly misled about the course of the war, that essentially what mainstream media has been reporting about Ukraine has been a pack of lies: namely that Ukraine is winning the war or at least holding its own in what has really been a one sided conflict. Reports that Ukraine is about to launch an major counter -  offensive that will lead to a final victory have also been discredited by classified information contained in the leaked 'Top Secret' documents.

The second paragraph of the article makes clear the leaked intelligence reports show the long-planned (or hyed, previous experience suggests the Ukrainian military do not waste much energy on planning,) counter - offensive by Ukrainian forces will fail miserably — “a marked departure from the Biden administration’s public statements about the vitality of Ukraine’s military.” ,and also very different from what is being spun in british and European medias where claims that the Ukrainian assault will take back Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, without much difficulty have proliferated in the past few months.

In other words, U.S. and NATO officials and governments have been lying about the state of the war to the public and news organisations, many of which claim their mission is to hold politicians and public servants to account, have faithfully reported every word of the propaganda narratives without a hint of skepticism.

The Post that, the leaks will likely “embolden critics who feel the United States and NATO should do more to push for a negotiated settlement to the conflict,” as if that would be a bad thing.

However,  writing in the uber-Establishment mangazine Foreign Affairs, former State Department official Richard Haass and Charles Kupchan, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, write that “it is difficult to feel sanguine about where the war is headed. The West Needs a New Strategy in Ukraine: A Plan for Getting From the Battlefield to the Negotiating Table,” they say, adding:

“The best path forward is a sequenced two-pronged strategy aimed at first bolstering Ukraine’s military capability and then, when the fighting season winds down late this year, ushering Moscow and Kyiv from the battlefield to the negotiating table.”  

The article does not mention the leaks, though it was published after the disclosures made clear that the Ukrainian offensive, intended to  break through Russia’s land bridge to Crimea, would fail.

As mentioned above, the west's commitment to the idea of total military victory for Ukraine seems to be shifting. The entrenched attitude that before negotiating, Ukraine needs to launch its offensive to gain back some territory, “imposing heavy losses on Russia, foreclosing Moscow’s military options, and increasing its willingness to contemplate a diplomatic settlement.” is being toned down and the article admits  the Russian military’s numerical superiority allied to the fact that Ukraine is “facing growing constraints on both its own manpower and help from abroad,” make any territorial gains or military victories for Ukraine increasingly unlikely.

This being the case we should remind ourselves Moscow was ready to cut a deal with Kiev one month after Russia’s intervention but the West, with its strategy of lengthening the war to weaken Russia, dispatched the UK's then Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Kiev to tell Zelensky and his neo - Nazi masters in no circumstances must they negotiate with Russia. Why would Moscow accept a deal now when Ukraine is at its weakest and Russia, having withstood the best war effort the NATO alloes can muster, is poised to make significant gains on the battlefield while having outplayed the west politiclly and economically and enhanced its influence in South East Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America?

The Foreign Affairs piece admits, “This diplomatic gambit may well fail.

“Come the end of this fighting season,” the article says, “the United States and Europe will also have good reason to abandon their stated policy of supporting Ukraine for ‘as long as it takes,’ as U.S. President Joe Biden's  autocue has put it.”

And what comes next? Can NATO allies now engage in a strategic dialogue with Russia on arms control and the security concerns of Moscow over efforts to admit Ukraine into the west's mulual aid treaty? 

Incredibly this is what Russia was asking for before its February 2022 intervention and it was rebuffed by NATO and the U.S.  Now a Foreign Affairs article is recommending it. Surely there can be no better sign that Ukraine has lost or is about to lose this war?

Do A Majority Of British Citizens Still Think Lockdowns Should Have been Stricter?

 

It is astounding to think that after all the obvious evidence that lockdowns imposed in the COVID pandemic did nothing to protect anybody or stop the spread of the virus (assuming all those people who tested positive for SARS-COV2 were actually carrying the virus and the numbers were not just made up,) that recent polls have found that the majority of British citizens are still very much pro-lockdown. In a YouGov poll taken in early March, only 19% of respondents said the government’s handling of pandemic was “too strict”, and a remarkable 37% said it was “not strict enough”.

Likewise, when UnHerd asked Brits whether “in retrospect, lockdown was a mistake”, they found there wasn’t a single constituency in the country where a majority of respondents agreed. Overall agreement was 27% – which is barely more encouraging than YouGov’s finding.

The keyword here is respondents of course, polling companies admit that as few as one in ten of the people they contact actually agree to answer questions.

Sensible people gave up on polls years ago of course, but its doubtful that those who would have said lockdowns were a disastrous mistake but couldn't be arsed listening to a load of stupid questions could have turned the poll round . So what explains Brits’ continued support for a policy that apart from violating the human rights of every citizen and imposed such huge costs succeeded only in trashing the national economy and shovelling taxpayers money into the Big Pharma Cartel's pockets.

As veteran-lockdown sceptic Dan Hannan has noted with regret, “many of my countrymen couldn’t give two hoots about liberty”. Like the citizens of most Western countries, Brits have long favoured higher taxes, nationalisation of industry and the continued expansion of Nanny State. So their support for lockdown isn’t exactly a major anomaly that needs to be explained, the lazy paskudniaks fancy another year of sitting at home, getting paid for doing nothing. 

Second: as has been noted by many alt_media commentators, the government's scientific and medical advisers Brits massively overestimated the risks of Covid, particularly the risks to the young. This owes partly to general biases in the estimation of small quantities. But it is also a rsult of the intentional use of fear tactics whose very aim was to increase compliance with lockdown.

Third: the theoretical case for ‘flattening the curve’ was strong. If infections rise too high, hospitals will become overwhelmed, leading to huge numbers of deaths; a temporary lockdown can prevent this from happening. The argument is flawed, of course – not least because it again ignores the ‘costs’ side of the equation. But it seems quite compelling.

Fourth: case numbers did start falling around the time of each lockdown in 2020. Yet as the statistician Simon Wood has shown, infections were already in decline before the lockdown was called – in all three cases. This can be seen in the chart below, which shows the timing of lockdowns in relation to five reconstructions of infection numbers.

The five reconstructions are shown in red, red-shading, blue-shading, grey-shading and dashed, respectively.

Fifth: while the supposed benefits of lockdown were obvious and immediate, the costs were largely delayed. As a result, members of the public are more likely to credit lockdown for its ‘successes’ than they are to blame lockdown for its failures – including debt, inflation and a lowering of education standards.

Sixth: for months, credentialed scientists appeared before the television cameras and informed the public that lockdown was the right choice – that the Government really was ‘following the science’. Meanwhile, dissenting scientists (like those who signed the Great Barrington Declaration) were consistently marginalised. Through a combination of groupthink, deplatforming and biased media coverage, the public became convinced that there was such a thing as ‘the science’ and that it supported lockdown.

For a committed COVID sceptic like myself this is hard to swallow. While it'sfeasible that the majority *were* pro-lockdown when the world was in the midst of the worst and most intensive scamdemic /  PsyOp in living memory, but to carry on clinging to the fear generated by negative propaganda is stretching things even by the standards of Labour voting, Guardian reading herd creatures. In 2021 their brains would have been successfully washed with the elaborate fear porn and propaganda, their thinking too addled by the incessant lies they were bombarded with from all angles, MSM, politicians and other authority figures including doctors and academics. However, with the benefit of hindsight and all the data we’ve accrued and knowledge we’ve gathered through lived experiences, I call absolute BS that it is still the case that the majority of the public support lockdowns. So I do think it’s important to make the distinction between past and present tense here. Are people still as terrified of a virus now as they were in November 2020? Highly unlikely. Michael Senger has done an excellent article relating to this topic;

”Across the western world, governments used propaganda on their own citizens for the specific purpose of ratcheting up fear of the coronavirus and increasing compliance with lockdown measures. State scientists in the United Kingdom later admitted they’d used fear to change minds in a series of interviews with author Laura Dodsworth: “Using fear as a means of control is not ethical. Using fear smacks of totalitarianism.” 

“The use of fear has definitely been ethically questionable. It’s been like a weird experiment.” 

“Psychologists didn’t seem to notice when it stopped being altruistic.”
 

As one Member of Parliament put it:

If it is true that the state took the decision to terrify the public to get compliance with rules, that raises extremely serious questions about the type of society we want to become. If we’re being really honest, do I fear that Government policy today is playing into the roots of totalitarianism? Yes, of course it is.

Likewise, a report later published by the Canadian Armed Forces revealed that military leaders saw COVID as a unique opportunity to test propaganda techniques on the public, “shaping” and “exploiting” information to bolster government messages about the virus.


As a result of these domestic propaganda campaigns, across the western world, we were all treated to such delightful slogans as “just stay home,” “two weeks to slow the spread,” “follow the science,” and “we’re all in this together”—each of course, in truly Orwellian fashion, being a boldfaced lie.”
