Colin Fernandez – Daily Mail Dec 20, 2020
Boris Johnson was last night urged to publish clear evidence of the Covid data he used to cancel Christmas for millions.
The Prime Minister has warned the new variant of coronavirus may be up to 70 per cent more transmissible than previous strains and could overwhelm the NHS.
But last night one scientist demanded greater transparency over the number that shut down swathes of the UK.
Carl Heneghan, Professor of Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University’s Nuffield Department of Primary Care, expressed scepticism over the 70 per cent figure.
He said: ‘I’ve been doing this job for 25 years and I can tell you can’t establish a quantifiable number in such a short time frame.’
He added ‘every expert is saying it’s too early to draw such an inference’.
Professor Heneghan said there was no doubt this time of the year, the ‘height of the viral season’, was a difficult time for the NHS. But he said failure to put out the basis of the figures was undermining public trust.
He added: ‘I would want to have very clear evidence rather than ‘we think it’s more transmissible’ so we can see if it is or not.
‘It has massive implications, it’s causing fear and panic, but we should not be in this situation when the Government is putting out data that is unquantifiable.’
He added: ‘They are fitting the data to the evidence. They see cases rising and they are looking for evidence to explain it.’
The new variant was found on September 20 in Kent.
By mid-November, 28 per cent of cases in London were attributable to it. And in the week starting December 9, it was responsible for 62 per cent.
Professor Heneghan said that if it was true the new variant was more transmissible ‘we should be locking down the whole country’ as people leaving the capital to avoid restrictions would spread it.
Announcing the new Tier Four restrictions, Boris Johnson blamed the new Covid strain and said ‘it may be up to 70 per cent more transmissible than the old variant’.
He also said the new virus could boost the reproduction rate – known as R – by 0.4. When R is above 1 the virus is increasing. If it is below 1, it is decreasing.
Mr Johnson said the figure, which came from analysis by government advisory body The New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), was ‘early data’ and ‘subject to review’.
But he added: ‘It’s the best we have at the moment.
‘We have to act on information as we have it because this is spreading very fast.’
Peter Horby, chairman of Nervtag and Professor of Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health at the University of Oxford, said the figure of 70 per cent was based on ‘converging data’.
He said: ‘This is including, but not limited to, the rate of change in the frequency of detection of the variant (the growth rate) and the correlation between R values and the frequency of detection of the new variant.’
Minutes from the Nervtag meeting from December 18 said they had ‘moderate confidence’ that the new variant, known as VUI-202012/01, ‘demonstrates a substantial increase in transmissibility compared to other variants’.
The variant demonstrated exponential growth when national lockdown measures were in place, the minutes added.
What are we coming to?I was once proud to be British,now however I am becoming ashamed to admit it.We were stoic,now we are wimps!!
Eventually,after complete breakdown and bankrupcy,we will have to ignore this so called pandemic,or become a world of isolated prisoners,in our own dwellings.
We need to ignore the deaths,of mainly elderly[I am 83 YOA] and attempt to lead a normal lifestyle.
Let us all GROW UP!!!!
“the frequency of detection of the new variant” – no-one tells us how they can do this, especially when nobody has ever isolated the first one, the alleged ‘COVID-19’.
“The variant demonstrated exponential growth when national lockdown measures were in place, ” – so what on earth is the point of the Lockdown, if we still get the alleged ‘exponential growth’ with it in place?
These are just fairy stories. Its just the flu.
“Boris Johnson was urged to publish clear evidence of coronavirus data last night”.
Was he? And tell me, where does it say ‘factual’ evidence? What’s to stop Boris Johnson, lying, as he has been from the start? What’s to stop the organizations, responsible for the collecting of evidence from giving false figures, lying also? What’s to stop the msm from continuing to publish those lies and promote this fake virus/lockdown?
More stalling. Nothing but a complete and utter waste of time.
People are really and I mean REALLY stupid. They’re simply wasting time, while society crumbles. 3 years now since the people voted to leave the EU and still nothing has been done. The same will happen in the USA. They’ll just keep stalling this, while pushing covid. Then the next deadly strain will come along.
People haven’t the foggiest idea to see that THIS IS HERE FOREVER until people wake the f*ck up and start attacking back, ‘removing’ all those in positions of power responsible, PERMANENTLY!
There’s going to be no judicial enquiry. There will be no politicians, doctors, corporatists, scientists, academia professors taken into custody, questioned, tried and found guilty. There won’t be any arrests. There won’t be any fight back, democratically, by whatever political party. ALL OF THEM ARE IN ON IT! Geez… they really don’t get it. They’re going to stall, for months, while society destroys itself. The ships, carrying food will stop landing at ports then the famine begins, yes, in the west. But don’t worry as your government and the health industries are working, frantically to find you all a cure for this deadly pandemic with a survival rate of 99.8%.
It’s madness. Absolute madness. As if Boris Johnson is going to say anything truthful is beyond me. Just a game, a dog and pony show, a masquerade, a facade…. we are living in the time of UNIVERSAL DECEIT and that’s here forever until you all RISE UP and take your freedom back once and for all!!
If it is a new strain then it is first now appearing in the UK, which nation together with the US is one of the leading nations in perpetuating the Covid scam. The entire operation in terms of the degree of government and media fakery is strongest in these two nations central to the Rothschild and Rockefeller banking dynasties whose tentacles include the IMF, the World Bank, Israel, the UN, the CIA, most Davos billionaires, the WEF, and UN Agenda 21/2030 (the Great Reset).
Those of us who are on record going back to March and calling the pandemic a massive scam far exceeding the dimensions of 9/11, also heeded the threats during the summer months coming from Bill Gates and other stooges of the ruling cabal, that there would be a “second wave”. But let us not forget the first wave.
Based on the actual evidence at the end of May regarding the abject performance of the virus whereby the authorities in nations most beholding to the IMF in particular, there was no real hard evidence that the virus was very much more lethal than any other Coronavirus in recent years. The fudged and faulty modelling from US and UK “experts” in February and March led a host of Western nations in March to put on a great show of emptying hospital wards and ER’s in preparation for the tsunami of stricken patients the expected. In the US authorities were told to expect 2.2 million deaths in that nation alone for that flu season as a result of the
Covd virus. However, by the end of that season there were not even 1/10 of that number, and we now know very clearly (very, very clearly) that the 177,000 alleged Covid deaths racked up by the US CDC was completely bogus.
Of those whose deaths were likely triggered or hastened by the virus, one one hand, the numbers came mostly from long-term care homes where the overwhelming majority of the victims were at death’s door anyway, mostly due to extreme old age and significant co-morbidity conditions and severely compromised immune systems, and on the other hand in a number of jurisdictions patients from long-term care were either being killed by gross medical ignorance or by something more deliberate to inflate numbers (or both), by being sent to hospitals where they caught the virus, and then once sick with the virus sent back to the care homes where the virus spread rapidly like the plague among that clearly-defined, easily-identified, high-risk segment of the population. The other victims not in long-term care but in that high-risk segment succumbed but without the same clustering effect of multiple deaths. The remaining few who died not in that high-risk segment were those who were exposed to a very large infectious dose relative to their the weakness of their immune systems at the time, and who did not receive proper and timely treatment which likely would have saved them.
As for treatment of the victims with serious symptoms, the evidence of the interference of the government experts and the “authorities” is appalling. It has taken all of these months till about a week ago for Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) with Azithromycin or Doxycycline to be exonerated and “cleared” by the US and UK “authorities”, after reams and reams of propaganda that protocols based on the use of these drugs did not save most lives. Not only is the evidence now overwhelming as to the effectiveness of HCQ in particular (for people who develop severe symptoms), but so also is the evidence overwhelming as to the deliberate lies of the same authorities and government experts, and their collusion with big pharma to make billions on vaccinations.
Proving even more effective than HCQ is the drug Ivermectin where liberated physicians and experts were subjected to the same interferences and oppressions by the compromised and dishonest establishment authorities. We also now learn that Ivermectin or HCQ can be taken without harm using it as as preventative for anyone in that clearly-defined, easily-identified, high-risk segment of the population. This is just one more reason why lockdowns are totally unnecessary.
Speaking of lockdowns, it was pointed our very clearly by leading independent experts all over the world that based on the numbers coming out of South Korea that even if they were inflated, there was no medical or scientific justification for any restrictions on the general public. The at-risk segment could be easily protected without any such draconian measures. That has certainly turned out to be the case with even the inflated numbers in nations like the UN and the UK.
However, the real smoking gun of collusion and deceit which should damn forever all of the authorities in our nations who have prolonged the lockdowns and perpetuated the absurd restrictions, is what they have done with the the death and the case numbers. The authorities with the lower-than-expected death numbers after May, sitting there with empty hospital wards on their hands, and with many other patients denied timely and necessary treatment, on one hand said that the modeling in February and March was faulty, and on the other hand they did not make the slightest effort to rejoice that the mortality numbers were less than 10% of what the alleged expected to justify the lockdowns and restrictions. That is just a part of the smoke. The rest of it and the actual bullets are the deliberately-inflated death numbers by our authorities, in which we discovered over the summer months that in many of our Western jurisdictions, our nations hospitals and most likely also long-term care facilities, and even coroners, were paid, pressured, and induced to call any death they could a “Covid death”.
Most people do not seem to be able to connect the dots here. They cannot see that with the far-lower than expected death numbers materializing after that flu season, and with general mortality rates for all causes of death no higher for the same period, that there should have been great relief on the part of all of our authorities, but instead they went and inflated the numbers, and if fact we now see that they had been doing that right from the beginning. It was in March, even before the numbers came in for our jurisdictions that independent experts were saying that none of the restrictive government measures were necessary, and we started asking questions as to the true reason for them. When the numbers did come in (much lower than predicted) and the authorities also deliberately inflated them, it was clear to many of us that the draconian controls were not really for the virus. Most of us found out by June that the same banking cartel which is bankrolling the Covid scam is has also backed the present launching of their long and meticulously planned UN Agenda 21/2030 which they are launching and calling the Great Reset”. Apparently, lest we object, they require the population controls and redetections in place for their financial, technological, social, and political controls they have planned for us and are calling the “new normal”. .
By August there were huge discrepancies with the death numbers among various nations under the banking cartel controls. Germany, Denmark, and Russia for instance (all subservient nations to either controls, threats, or promises) had mortality numbers at the world average for their populations. Whereas, the US, the UK, France, Spain, and Brazil all had over five times the world average of Covid deaths for their populations. These discrepancies which have raised even further credibility concerns for the cartel and our authorities, obviously did come to the attention of whatever agency or transnational task force is coordinating the Covid panic and lockdowns. Such facts in fact did come to me and others last August. In my own provincial jurisdiction and in the one next door, in Alberta, two jurisdictions where the death numbers, like in Poland and the Chezk Republic have were far below the world averages for their populations, since September the alleged death numbers have dramatically increased in these Covid-lite jurisdictions. My province went from 202 alleged Covid deaths on August 24 to about 566 by the end of November for a population of r million. What I have learned is that now the “authorities” are calling every death they can a Covid one, which counting methods were far more conservative earlier in the year. There is even evidence here of a relative of a deceased being given money to agree that the cause of death was Covid.
As I have said in earlier posts, it appears that all other jurisdictions which either had the world average of reported Covid deaths for their populations or greater than that number are now more uniformly calling any death were the deceased may have had the flu or even some trace of Covid, a “Coivd death”. Apart from the monetary inducements which we know about in the US, we also know that the new uniformly now in counting deaths in all nations controlled by the banking cartel, that the PCR tests to count “cases” are being used and abused by the authorities. False-positives rates are so high that the tests are totally unreliable for the general population (like 93% unreliable). Yet, these same government creeps are now forcing their instruments up people’s noses past their sinuses into their throats for the tests. However, the tests are very useful to our authorities, because if they are given to a dying or even a deceased, patient, and there is any of indication that they “could” have or had Covid, some slight “indication” of the RNA in the virus, then any such death is counted as a Covid. That is exactly what all of our illustrious governments are now doing in order to increase the Covid death numbers as much as possible to maintain the restrictions.
The second wave? The second wave of what? More bullshit from another totally corrupt government, that is what. During the summer the same leading stooges of the psyop warned us of a second wave to come. On what scientific basis should there be a concern of a second wave? The Spanish flu which seemed to make its rounds in 3 or 4 successive seasons killing some 50 million? But what of other serious flus since, more serious than the Covid one, where is the scientific evidence of any second wave based on real numbers? There is none
The UK government says this wave could be a mutation. Well what is the evidence of that? This article by Fernadez says there is none. Natural corona viruses making their rounds every year. What kind of threat is that? Where is the real evidence of excess deaths even with the first wave? We are to trust our governments now? Yet, in my province people are being forcefully tested vaccinated, not only to be able to continue working in hospitals, but even to work in manufacturing plants. Despite the risks of these largely untested vaccinations, there is no real need for them, nor the tests.
If there is a new strain of the present Covid one, then how would the PCR testing pick any of it up? It would have a different RNA. Or are they saying the tests just pick up similar Corona viruses, in which case what then do the case numbers signify? Then to make matters really worse for our corrupt governments, the banksters and their agencies behind all of this, we also know that the Covid 19 virus is from a lab, and with all of their “planning” for this event, they now have the audacity to say that it mutated? Like if they did not really know what the virus would do outside of lab testing conditions once released into the general public although they expected far more (which accounts for their surprise at the low death numbers in at the end of the last flu season forcing them to jack the numbers), they are now confident it will perform better in a mutated “second wave” form, and especially with their ability so inflate the case numbers and call any death they want a Covid death?
China we note is not playing the game anymore. Their death numbers around 4,600 have not changed ever since the US blamed them for negligence in letting the virus “escape”, which is now (for a time) the “official CIA narrative” story which all loyal subjects of the US deep state must parrot, even though the virus was most certainly at the Fort Detrick biowarfare lab in 2015 and somehow got to to Wuhan lab.
This is the legacy, the history, of the year 2020, and just how the super wealthy and super powerful are manipulating and screwing everyone over with their abuses, and why such wealth and power ought to be stripped completely away from them. The Covid psyop is only an overture to their brave-new-totalitarian-world order, where any semblance of democracy and human freedom are dead, and where we are all expected to fall into regimented lockstep molded into whatever life styles and activities they deem to be “normal”, “essential” and of interest to them. “Slavery”, “tyranny”, call it what you will. It all must end if we really want to be free and safe from their Great Reset planning to reset and shrink our finances, resources, consumption levels, personal lives, likes and dislikes, and own population numbers to the levels they have deemed “sustainable”, no doubt with them using the same deceptive methods to scare and force us into our graves as they have used through their various agencies to poison the world with their Covid scam.
Fred B–you should write six pages instead of eight, because you need the rest of the time for correcting errors, so that the reader could whizz through the text like a canoe on the Severn Bore and not keep hitting logs and boulders.
There is no pandemic, The snakes are lying and they know that we know they are lying and they don’t care, so what does that tell you that they are well on track with their agenda and unfortunately those fools who still believe that what spills out of their satanic mouths is verbatim will be the ones who will ruin life as we know it because everywhere you go the public are calling for complete lockdown without ever relishing what that will mean for any country let alone Britain. People out of work , homeless starvation. No businesses no work no money it is simple but those morons keep on about lockdown all the time no wonder they the snakes are getting away with as good as murder.
The goffers need to go they need to be arrested for treason and premeditated genocide because that’s the idea behind all of this and their rebid vaccine but, who is going to be brave enough to do that. We have become wimps fools and cowards so perhaps we deserve what is coming and I am sure it will all kick off big time in 2021. Welcome to the gulags.
lewis jones – You sure cut me to the quick with that sass of yours. That writing above is for the help of any interested person just waking up and getting out of bed wanting some history of the saga. It is not meant for speed readers and really smart fellers like yourself who probably know so much they are no use to anyone, or for them that speak the Queen’s English. Like with Yukon Jack, whom I disagree with from time to time, it is mountain talk from the back woods of the Cascade Mountains of North America, where no one has much truck with the Queen and all of her claims of ownership anyway, and where we usually have a jar of white lightening to get our words flowen, if ya know what I mean.
Agree!
It’s just the flu.
We will always have a boggy man and a solution for those human creatures on the surface of earth to keep them from over crowding. Solution = (problem+ reaction)
To Fred B–that was a much better message!
Fred B,
And here was me thinking I wrote long replies. Mine are sparse in comparison to yours. LOL
P.S.
I do respect your writings. I just don’t agree with your view on Jews and Roman Catholicism. I think that’s the only thing you and I disagree on, but I reckon you’re pretty much on the ball with most things and 90% of the time, we’re on the same page.
If they never laid eyes on Covid,,, no isolate, wondering how they recognized covid the sequel? You don’t suppose it’s more BS…. naaaaa.
