Introduction \u2013 Jan 11, 2023<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>With the Conservative Party MP Andrew Bridgen now comparing the Covid vaccination campaign with the Holocaust it\u2019s clear that vaccine hesitancy and questions about vaccine safety are going mainstream.<\/p>\n

As indeed they should, for last year 50,000 more Britons died than in a normal year. The Daily Mail<\/a> suggests that these excess deaths may have been because ‘the health system is not functioning as it should’ without mentioning the obvious.<\/p>\n

The elephant in the room being the fact that the sudden surge in excess deaths neatly coincided with the launch of the Covid vaccination drive.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) has concluded<\/a> that vaccinated individuals are more likely to contract and spread Covid-19 than unvaccinated individuals.<\/p>\n

The CDC\u2019s misgivings are echoed by an Oxford University study and a UK Department of Health and Social Care study. None of which can be seen as breeding grounds for conspiracy theories. Yet the Guardian is only to happy to suggest that \u201cCovid conspiracies\u201d are a gateway to much \u201cmore extremist hate movements\u201d.<\/p>\n

In other words the Guardian implies that vaccine sceptics are little better than the most odious extremists. It does this with the help of comments from various \u201cexperts\u201d. Like Tim Squirrell, the head of communications at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, which was founded in 1989 to cater for the banking industry.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ask me why banking experts know more about vaccine safety than someone like Michael Yeadon<\/a>, former chief scientist at Pfizer and now an outspoken vaccine sceptic, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n

Banking concerns have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo and in this case that means smearing those who ask too many awkward questions.<\/p>\n

As for the reformed ‘vaccine sceptic’ interviewed below we wouldn’t be surprised if he was in the pay of the British security services. Seriously, they have a history of infiltrating groups that could prove troublesome, be they Muslim extremist cells or radical environmental groups<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So the vaccine safety debate is no longer a simple health issue. It’s a political issue with far reaching ramifications and the corporate media is supporting the official narrative 100 percent.<\/p>\n

As illutrated by the following Guardian article, the MSM does this by completely ignoring the points raised by vaccine sceptics<\/a> like Michael Yeadon. Instead of examing these points the Guardian insinuates that scepticism about the Covid vaccine, which was never fully tested, is a pathway to extremism. Ed.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was wrong\u2019: how Covid conspiracies became a gateway to extreme views<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Some Covid deniers have regrets, but others have joined more extremist hate movements<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Lewis traces the moment his once deeply held Covid-19 conspiracy theories began to unravel. It was in September last year, when a doctor engaged him and fellow activists in conversation as they handed out leaflets in a Liverpool park.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were always open to debate and she wasn\u2019t hostile to us either. She just wanted to prove us wrong. One of the things she did was to point me to an article in the Lancet<\/a> about the number of deaths,\u201d he said, referring to the peer-reviewed general medical journal.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom then on I was looking at the data, which I was always open to, and I came to realise I was wrong to believe what I did,\u201d added Lewis, who has asked for only his first name to be used.<\/p>\n

Nearly three years on from the start of the pandemic in Britain however, there was a stark reminder of the continuing reach of conspiracy theories on Wednesday when Tory MP Andrew Bridgen lost the party whip<\/a> after comparing the use of Covid vaccines to the Holocaust<\/a>. Lewis\u2019s journey away from the beliefs that once enveloped his life meanwhile stands in contrast to others for whom Covid-19 conspiracy theories have acted as a gateway drug to other, more extreme views.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past several years, particularly during Covid, we\u2019ve seen an increasing hybridisation of extremist and hate movements, and conspiracy theorists,\u201d said Tim Squirrell, head of communications at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a London-based extremism thinktank.<\/p>\n
