🧵A look at the advance of the pro-infection agenda on policy in other countries

Sweden, posterboy of Herd immunity thanks to Tegnell, less need for disinformation groups when government is fully signed up

2/ In Sweden the media are also fully signed up to a pro infection strategy, dissenting voices struggle to be heard

Listen to the interview linked here and then read the rest of the thread on how the WHO response was misrepresented

3/ Swedens has an impressive track record of government disinformation, particularly on schools

4/ Tegnell was the the GBD crowd when they met UK ministers in August 2020, no proper details of the meeting have been released

Sweden have tried hard to encourage others to follow their lead

5/ Germany
A lot of effort has been put into coordinating disinformation in Germany, Federal system means influencing regional politicians works in removing measures

Once again schools are a key battleground, good timeline here

6/ Interesting to see Atlantic Bridge implicated in supporting the Skeptic movements development in Germany.

It's one of those shady groups linked to US corporate interests and Conservative Party MPs

7/ AFD Party also seems to be trying to take advantage of the anti-vax bandwagon

Far right and antivax has a long history

8/ So state governments are seriously asking the question, should we just let kids get infected?

9/ Ireland, response increasing being influenced by the lobbyists, once again schools are proving to be a key battleground

10/ At time Ireland have had Sweden, Netherlands and England encouraging them to cut restrictions

Those involved in Swedens strategy appear to be influencing the Irish Government

Another good timeline

11/ Netherlands had tried to pursue a herd immunity strategy, they keep opening up too far, wait too long then end up back in lockdown due to imminent healthcare collapse

The lobbyists impacts and politicians views seem quote clear

12/ Also disinformation groups are very active, they can even get away with running adverts against child vax in major newspapers

13/ Then again in the UK the Daily Express actually promoted the Lawyers4Liberty letter against child vax

L4L are involved in the "common law constables" currently harassing NHS workers

14/ Canada, like Germany a lot of the response is regional.

BC has been particularly bad, the messaging from politicians and media regularly filled misinformation

15/ Ontario also seems to be taking a fatalistic approach to schools, misplaced through bookmarked thread to demonstrate this, will try and find it and add later

16/ Then we also have Uganda...

Despicable behaviour from GBD and affiliates

17/ We are also seeing narrative impacting vaccination programmes, as is the UK currently
