🧵UK MPs and RW media have had "enough of experts"

Some examples of the disinformation and ideology we are up against

Swayne describing SAGE as "Dr Strangeloves"
2/ Swayne again, claiming road accidents and flu are killing more people than covid

They aren't
3/ Bridgen claiming infection is 20× better than vaccination at providing immunity
4/ Morgan equating basic public health measures far below a lockdown as tyranny
5/ Mcvey ( Chair of Collateral Global APPG)
"Pushing back against the lockdown fanatics"
6/ Mark Harper Chair of CRG being quite blunt in his criticism of Johnson and SAGE
7/ Graham Brady Chair of the 1922
"Authoritarian nonsense"
"Labour would have us in permanent lockdown"

8/ "The Saj" Our health secretary has gone to Balloux for advice

Couple of weeks ago he claimed UK wouldn't reach 100k cases...
9/ Meanwhile Lucy Johnson in the Express weaponises child deaths from abuse with a very misleading use of the statistics to fit her agenda
10/ Pearson of Telegraph claiming the government will manipulate hospital figures

O'Sullivan reckons Omicron won't kill anyone
11/ Carl Heneghan is also across the media, written and broadcast

Still claims masks don't work, claimed there would be no second wave, Collateral Global member
12/ Good article linked here on Heneghans track record
BTW he deleted the whole of his twitter from 2020 after all those claims covid was over
Sidenote:For accuracy Balloux 100k comment was more than a few weeks ago
14/ Then Fraser Nelson gets into a discussion with a SAGE member which the typical characters jump on as if its some smoking gun
15/ We then get people in the media arguing with scientists about what modelling means

16/ Doesn't matter how clearly its explained, their confirmation bias won't allow them to understand now.

This is why UK policy is a mess
17/ As this is the message the hardcore rebel MPs are giving Johnson

Your lockdown or your political life
18/ One person who doesn't get it is MP Marcus Fysh, he calls for the removal of the scientific advisors

This lot are like Trumpian Republicans with posher accents
19/ Telegraph reports that at least a dozen ministers blocked measures

So Johnsons hands are tied until the ideological libertarians in his party decide the situation is out of control

We're screwed
20/ 21st and Ian Duncan Smith is quoting Heneghan on #r4today 🤦🏽‍♂️
21/ And now we're back to the with not from arguement, so what's happening in London @johnredwood?
A mass outbreak of clumsiness?
22/ We shouldn't be in this situation, failure of accountability and lack of scrutiny has led us here
23/ How representative are the MPs opposing our current measures?
24/ And Triggle at the BBC appears to be hooked up on a hopium IV
25/ Christopher Chope sounds like a cultist
26/ Daily Mail intent on maintaining its usual journalistic standards
27/ All in this together
CRG, Great Barrington Declaration, RW media

Toby Young to join House of Lords
Ridiculous, consider the content of his Daily Sceptic which produces a daily diet of climate change denial and antivax stories

I bet he continues to complain about elites and the establishment whilst wearing his ermine
Consider how he set up Free Speech Union after Jordan Peterson and James Or (Edmund Burke Foundation/NatCon) went to Peter Thiel for support who then sent his chief of staff to help set up FSU
And then there is Toby Young’s support for "progressive eugenics" the belief that the rich are rich because they rich are genetically superior while poverty is a result of being genetically inferior Image

🧵The latest Republican Covid Oversight Committe provides a clear picture of the alternative reality that will soon be taking charge of US health institutions

It's worth considering the implications for the FDA when the grifters become gamekeepers
2/ It's hard to know which came first, claiming a cure for covid as a reason for removing all measures, or the grift, likely it depends on the individuals.

Lets look at a timeline of the promotion of alternative treatments that continued to be promoted once proven ineffective
3/ The first example of people producing an alternative treatment protocol that I know of is from the AAPS linked organisation that rebranded as Truth for Health Foundation

This was February 2020 Image

There has been ongoing attacks on the CCDH since they published their disinformation dozen report years ago on the biggest antivax promoters online, this named RFK Jr and others who have been embraced by MAGA appearing at a conveyor belt of conferences
2/ The campaign against CCDH comes from the GBD crowd
3/ Despite their claims they aren't political this crowd and their ecosystem of overlapping groups is very close to the centres of power like Thiel who are driving the modern day Republican Party

🧵 Amazing when RW media decide to care about SEND students

When it comes to VAT on private schools they are suddenly worried about SEND pupils, but they backed austerity, the dismantling of CAHMs real terms cuts to school budgets, and loss of 20,000 support staff mainly TAs
2/ I think it was autumn 2017 we had a protest regarding SEND students being let down over 80,000 educators and SEND parents gathered outside Westminster, it didn't get a single mention in the media from any outlet
3/ 2016 ATL conference motions booklet

Look at the issues we were trying to raise, issues largely ignored, and only raised when suits a narrative

The role of the oligarchs Thiel and Musk in this election is absolutely crazy, as are the proposals from the Christian Nationalists

🧵Collateral Global is the UKs successor organisation to the GBD, original board here, a more recent addition is Kevin Bardosh

But if CG are sponsoring the Stanford event, who is funding CG? Image
2/ Initial funding for CG
Von Opels who have been large Conservative Party donors and also gave Gupta £90,000 after her April 2020 paper claiming herd immunity was on the horizon
Luke Johnson, funded anti-lockdown MPs and appeared at a Pandata event
Opaque Baudouin Foundation and Image
3/ The Donors Trust, the dark money ATM of the US right wing, where do they get their money from?⬇️
