Ain’t got time to fix the shingles
Just as I thought the NHS had finished chasing me up over vaccinations, I got another letter today. As I explain here, my decision not to get a COVID booster, for the reasons outlined here, led to the NHS totally ignoring my legally registered right not to have my medical records uploaded to the Matrix from my GP. Consequently I received several reminders from a central unit and, in the end, a rather dubious “research” phone call.

Money talks truth among the lies
You may have heard the story about insurers in one US state finding a 40% increase in young adult deaths for 2021, when vaccines were introduced (as opposed to 2020, when COVID was at its peak). A regular reader has pointed me to this remarkable article.

Potiphar’s Pfizer prognostications perused
One of the many reasons for blogging so frequently on the state of COVID over the last two years was as a kind of diary of my reactions to the lies being spouted by official sources, so that I could say “I told you so” as and when I was proven right. Obviously that’s a risky strategy if the official sources should turn out to be right.

Hard cheese for ptarmigan
What hope for the ptarmigan’s future? I doubt most of you have ever asked that question. But as I belatedly watched Winterwatch yesterday, the ever-pessimistic Chris Packham bemoaned their decline in numbers and warned of their imminent extinction, of course due to climate change.

Local adverse vaccine reactions
My son planned his wedding over a year ago, reasoning that COVID restrictions would be long-forgotten by then. The mask mandate, in the event was over – with just three days to spare. At least in England, barring the NHS vaccine mandate, which was only cancelled today. Time flies when you’re oppressed, doesn’t it?

Evil beyond conception
Is Boris Johnson being more liberal regarding COVID because he’s under political pressure from scandal, or is he under political pressure from scandal because he’s being more liberal regarding COVID? Certainly Britain, and specifically England as opposed to the devolved regions, is an outlier amongst the western nations in dispensing with mask mandates, vaccine passports and so on.

A great COVID overview (doesn’t spare the authorities)
This “deep dive” by Julius Ruechel will give you an excellent handle on why the pandemic is doing just what it is in the various countries of the world at the moment, from which you will be able to make predictions about your own nation. It deals especially with the total disappearance and patchy return of influenza, whether Omicron is genuinely mild or the kind of danger SAGE feared, and how all the lockdowns and vaccines have failed. Overall, the message echoes what I said nearly two years ago: there is a good reason why God gave us an immune system and not a social distancing instinct. You’ll learn far … Continue reading

Dangerous liars (running the show)
Before the COVID vaccines actually materialised, one of the big doubts from those in the know was that no mRNA vaccine had ever gone beyond the animal testing stage because of severe toxicity, so no such vaccines had been successfully produced. Some of us expressed concern that “Warp Speed” and the British equivalent delivered so quickly only by omitting the animal stages. Now we have had a year or more of experience of them, it’s becoming more obvious than ever that the original doubts were correct – we still haven’t produced an effective mRNA vaccine, or one that isn’t seriously toxic.

Big Brother is (still) watching you
Yesterday I got a phone call from someone from the NHS, relating to my not having received a third dose of COVID vaccine. One is not prepared for such calls, but I said that I had already explained to my GP, when the surgery staff enquired, that I did not wish to have it. (I confess I got two doses of AstraZeneca from my doctor’s surgery last spring, and have never had dealings with any other “vaccination centre”).

Fig-leaves or concealed weapons?
It’s good to hear about the roll-back of the UK’s useless Plan B restrictions, including the infamous vaccine passports, albeit it is apparently largely an attempt to save Boris Johnson’s political career. But as I’ve already discussed here, it’s part of the general unraveling of the lockdown narrative that’s happening around the world. The worrying indicator is that the unraveling is happening in lockstep everywhere, leading many to wonder “what’s behind it.”
