After Two Years - Covid-19 In The UK
Introduction
As early as mid November 2019 the American Centre for Medical Intelligence warned US allies, Nato and Israel that a novel coronavirus pandemic was coming out of Wuhan, reported by the Times of Israel, April 16 2021. It’s an appropriate point for evaluating where we are now. We have 150,000 dead, most unnecessarily, social, medical and economic disruption. Currently, deaths from Covid-19 are running at 140 - 150 per day and rising - the equivalent of two fully populated Boing 747 crashes per week. We’ve had three infection and deaths peaks with lockdowns and another lockdown is certain over winter. Disastrous medical and scientific advice and government policies are the cause. The medical and government elites have been captured by Big Business interests. They are, frankly, corrupt and I've given up on them. It's clear that we need to take more positive action for ourselves against SARS-Cov-19 because the Government agenda doesn't include a comprehensive public health policy after all this time.
I also want to briefly mention ivermectin here. Does it work against SARS-Cov-2? It's a cheap medication that has been used widely and safely for many years as an anti-parasitic, particularly in Africa. There are clinicians in the USA and UK whose experience is that it is effective against this virus. We need a good prophylactic. Ivermectin is said by the FLCCC Alliance to be part of its treatment protocol. I'll go into this in the next few days in another article, but you could look them up yourself from the link in the previous sentence.
Where We Are and How We Got Here
Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive of the NHS Confederation is actually in touch with what is happening in the NHS. He says that the NHS is at crisis point and wants measures taken now. Sajid Javid the Health Minister doesn’t think so. Boris Johnson says that the NHS can still cope with Covid-19 and everything else so there is no need for further measures right now. We should take up vaccines, booster shots and use individual choice and common sense to avoid further infections they say. We’re following Plan A and it’s not time for the preventive measures of Plan B. These deaths are as predicted by their model they say, so everything is under control. Boris is correct in not wanting to implement his Plan B. As in the past, his Plan B will be restrictions on the public and no action by the Government. Boris thinks that action by the government comprises simply telling everyone to restrict their activities which is, naturally, damaging in every way one can imagine. The pandemic needs managing. Boris and his SAGE advisors are not managers. Plan B and their models are rubbish as I said in March 2020 to my MP Chris Philp. Just scan the SAGE minutes to see how much management action they recommend. Not a scrap. If you also scan the list of participants you'll see that up to 7 people on several of these committees aren't named. We need to know who's responsible for this disaster. It's never been 'muddling through' time or clever theorizing time. It's been action management time from January 2020 and I haven't seen any except for organizing vaccines. That's the key. It's always been 'herd immunity by infection' with control of the pandemic and massive funding transferred to the Pharmaceutical and Big Business companies.
Government models have always been rubbish from the very first introduction of ‘herd immunity’ that predicted that by doing nothing whatever, the virus would quickly attenuate to save the NHS - but not lives. Of course it didn’t happen and we had the first enormous March 2020 spike in deaths of the first lockdown. They’ve been obsessed with models ever since, rather than the reality of infections, deaths, the shortcomings of a vaccines policy, damage from lockdowns and damage to people who can’t get access to medical care for other ailments. SAGE, Boris Johnson and Cabinet Ministers are certainly involved in homicide and possibly manslaughter or murder as needs to be be determined by a judicial tribunal or the criminal courts. We need the inquiry urgently to get rid of these people and get on with serious infection prevention as our primary defence strategy. That is what will free the country up socially and economically. It should have been done from the beginning as I said in my email to Chris Philp MP on 16 March 2020.
The report by the Parliamentary Science and Health Committees published 12 October 2021 on Covid-19 titled: Lessons Learned To Date was Parliament’s opportunity to act on behalf of the public. Rather than that, it's an exercise in ‘gaslighting’ and an enormous disappointment. Gaslighting, from the film Gaslight, is psychological trickery to persuade us by evasions, omissions, semantic shifts, legalisms and outright lies that our perceptions and even memories of events are wrong. The report lists government failures fairly accurately but seeks to persuade us to believe that no better could be expected of the government. That its ‘mistakes’ were natural, understandable and there is no blame to apportion. The report’s title itself tells us that the Government has ‘learned the lessons’. No it hasn’t.
Managing the SARS-Cov2 pandemic isn’t an education exercise for the Sage Advisory Committee, Boris Johnson and the Cabinet. It’s a real life, real time job. The job is to minimize infections and deaths and keep the population safe. The scientific and medical experts of SAGE have always had the knowledge and a world-accepted public health plan based on well known medical principles for managing a pandemic. Boris Johnson is supposed to have the British Common Sense that he talks about to understand what's happening and organize implementation. They have sufficient medical knowledge to be able to keep infections low and save lives. They haven’t done this and we have mass deaths not because of mistakes but because they haven’t been trying to do the job at all. They have a private agenda. I hold to my views that they’re all following pharmaceutical company and Big Business money in an experiment for whom we do not know. There are many billions of pounds being spent on vaccines, so creating markers for favours. It’s the revolving door. They’re ‘bought’ people. There can be no other explanation for their willingness to allow tens of thousands of people to die while taking no active measures to reduce infections and keep them low until they were forced into the first lockdown. The money is in vaccines and sale of data, not non-pharmaceutical (NPI) public health measures. Who we, the citizens, are and how we live and die has great value as NHS data as well as vaccine consumers. Our deaths are their means of getting rich.
Here’s the simplest example of an NPI item to show that SAGE and the Government have never wanted to keep infections down. The government has never said that everyone should be wearing an FFP2 or N95 mask in crowded situations or public buildings. That’s the standard for 95% filtration of virus sized particles. Front line staff in infective environments should have, minimally, FFP3 masks which filter to 99%. The surgical masks that most people are wearing are near to useless and other face coverings are of varying degrees of dubiousness. SAGE knows this. The first thing that the government should have done in January 2020 is to organize the manufacture of these masks as well as other protective items. Nearly two years later we should be making them in this country for the whole population, giving them away or at least supplying them at cost price. There should also be television spots to educate the public on mask use, airflow in buildings and the characteristics of airborne infection. The government has never taken such measures because it wanted and still wants a never-ending vaccination policy that the population is locked into with its ‘herd immunity by infection’ policy that ministers now deny ever existed. That’s a bare-faced lie. I had never heard of ‘herd immunity’ until I learned of the term and concept from Chris Whitty, Patrick Vallance and Boris Johnson at their briefings from No 10 in March 2020. Patrick Vallance described it clearly on television, which the Committee Report says wasn’t a description of a government ‘herd immunity’ policy. Mr Vallance was describing the existing situation according to the report. That’s also a lie.
I’m sure that all Ministers have been issued with FFP2 / 3 masks but they’ve never told the general public that this is the mask for filtering SARS-Cov-2 particles. Lower grade masks don’t do it and give a false sense of security. At this point the government finds it difficult to tell everyone that they should have been wearing FFP2 masks all along because the questions will be asked ‘Why weren’t we told at the beginning of the pandemic,’ and ‘Why hasn’t the Government organized making them available to everyone?’ Failure to organize the manufacture of high filtration masks and supply them to front-line staff as well as the public is the major factor in many deaths.
As another example, the UK has never had effective border controls with quarantine, an obvious measure to prevent infection. The government let in the the Indian Delta variant with no quarantine precautions. It’s been killing people ever since. Its mutation AY.4.2 might be more infective or have other more dangerous characteristics than its parent, as we have yet to be told - if ever. That’s the flaw in the goverment’s vaccination policy that doesn’t hold infections down. The more infections the more mutations and deaths. One might easily think from its performance that the expert SAGE committee was recruited by random selection from passers-by in Whitehall and government ministers from a nearby building site. In fact, such recruits might do better. They would surely understand the simple concepts involved: When a virus is killing people the first line of defence is the standard medical principle: prevent infections. Boris Johnson’s ‘herd immunity and vaccination’ policy has let infection run free, apart from traumatic lockdowns, since January 2020. That’s wilful killing, not a mistake. High numbers of infections give high numbers of dangerous mutations/variants so again, preventing infections must be first priority. Boris Johnson’s insane Sars-Cov-2 policy is arguably mass murder and not only a danger to this country but a danger to the rest of the world through export of variants made in the UK such as the Kent variant.
Jenny Harries, formerly the deputy to the disgraced and useless Health Minister Matt Hancock, asserted on television that ‘herd immunity’ has never been ‘on the table’. This is ‘political speak’ or gaslighting to have us think that it was never government policy. It’s a lie. Penny Mordaunt MP, on the BBC Question Time programme of 21st October 2021 was evasive about government responsibility, said that they didn’t know things early in the pandemic, that everyone did the best they could, and we have to learn the lessons. She said “I take issue with people saying that ‘we let people die’”. But that is precisely what they did - they let people die as part of their Plan and model. Patrick Vallance and Chris Whitty are physicians. They knew that the medical principle to stop a pandemic and deaths is to stop infections. They didn’t attempt to do it. They knew about the behaviour of coronaviruses and their strong tendency to mutate, that this particular one came from the vicinity of the Wuhan Institute of Virology and was almost certainly an escaped experimental virus if not a bio-weapon. They knew or should have known that staff from the WIV had learned how to create human infective viruses at the University of North Carolina ten years previously. I knew it in March 2020. They did not act on the medical and public health knowledge that they had at the time. They created spurious theories and models, called them ‘science’ and killed tens of thousands. They had their own agenda in early 2020 and still pursue it. They gave us a stupid mantra of ‘Face, Hands and Distance rather than detailed public education about coronaviruses and its routes of infection and the principles of evading it on which we could base our behaviour. It was a year before they mentioned the importance of building ventilation and even then inadequately.
I’m sick of the obfuscations, semantic tricks, evasions and lies of our politicians. Who introduced the strategy of ‘herd immunity by infection’ to the Government? Someone in SAGE? Vallance, Whitty or Johnson? Bill Gates? They should stop lying about it and tell us. What do the reports from our own BSL4 laboratory at Porton Down say about the virus? Why wouldn’t the government make public the confidential reports on the virus and pandemic that were given to the House of Lords? Let us have them. What was Bill Gates’ contribution to virus policy in his meetings about it with Boris Johnson? Why did Gates persuade the Oxford Group not to give their vaccine license away to give free vaccines as they originally publicly promised? There is much more to this pandemic than a few mistakes when 150,000 people are dead.
The Health Minister Savid Javid trumpeted great news for us on 20th October. US firm Merck has developed an anti-viral drug that he said costs $750 or £550 for a course when one gets symptoms, so the 480,000 courses that he's bought will cost us £264,000,000. This is proof to me that the politicians have been captured by the pharmaceutical industry. It raises the entire question of what governments have been doing to sponsor and control the development, cost and distribution of vaccines, anti-virals and prophylactics for the benefit of the world population as well as our own. We have world Covid-19 deaths of over 5 million at the date of writing and it's clear that if the US, UK and Europe are having problems in controlling this virus, the developing world will have much greater problems. While SARS-Cov-2 exists uncontrolled anywhere we are all at risk.
Merck is reported to have developed its anti-viral with public money and to be selling it at 40 times cost. At the price of £550 per course who’s going to get it? Certainly Savid Javid and the politicians if they test positive, but us oldsters? I don’t believe it. Moreover, is it any good at all or just political ‘good news appropriation’? Where’s his infection diagram such as the magic one that Vallance, Whitty and Johnson had for ‘herd immunity’, that would save the country and NHS?
I'll share my own thoughts about this anti-viral since Savid Javid gave no details and did not tell us where we can get more information on it. I might be wrong but what can I do? I’m using my common sense as Boris Johnson has recommended in lieu of Sajid Javid pointing to an evaluation from a source independent of Merck and of course the Government.
