The #HerdImmunityScandal in four @DailyMailUK frontpage headlines
The #HerdImmunityScandal is the overarching scandal which all the other scandals (the #TestingScandal, #CareHomeScandal, #AppScandal, #ScreeningScandal, #LockdownFatigueScandal, #PPEScandal etc. - are all part of.
The BIG question is what is their goal?
#HerdImmunity is merely the strategy.
As journalist @sarahkendzior puts it: "[They're] covering up crime with scandal & covering up malice with incompetence. They want to project an image of being inept, instead of as having a cruel & well-defined plan.”
“Forget the myths. Follow the money”
This expression - “follow the money” - is key to good journalism
It doesn’t necessarily mean follow the actual money. It means focus on the real motivations driving those who took the decisions
"Join the dots" is my other guiding principle!
I stumbled onto the #HerdImmunityScandal in early March
#HerdImmunity is an ‘outcome’ not a ‘strategy’
Every virologist or epidemiologist will tell you that
So why are the govt going against the science?
I’ve been joining the dots for 6 months
What I’ve found is terrifying.
In May - after 3 months of "following the money" & "joining the dots" - I was convinced that enough had been uncovered to expose what is the biggest public health scandal, the bigger political scandal, & the biggest human rights scandal of the century
I filmed a 2hr explanation.
“We’ve arranged a society based on science & technology, in which nobody understands anything about science & technology. This combustible mixture of ignorance & power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.” Carl Sagan
It is blowing up now...but it’s not too late!
The situation we face is scary & requires urgent action
We need to:
1) SPREAD THE WORD
We need to explain something that’s brain-achingly complex in a simple way
2) MOBILIZE
Let’s take inspiration from #RBG & come together & build an broad alliance, fast!
