We're going to be in big big trouble in the UK.
The law of unintended consequences is about to take yet more casualties.

This year, it gradually became apparent that more people were getting sicker from all sorts of illnesses.

It's the direct effect of almost everyone catching Covid and some catching Covid repeatedly.

But the government can't say that it's covid causing the problem, because they told everyone that it's alright to catch Covid.
**which is not true**

They told everyone omicron was mild (🚨lie)
They told us we had all the tools (🚨lie)
They told us the pandemic was over (🚨lie)

They neglected to tell you that Covid still causes long covid and still damages your body. (🥝truth)

But individual people are getting more unwell the more times they catch Covid, and the population are becoming sicker overall the more times everyone catches covid.

That scenario doesn't fit with the goverment lies.
So they needed cover.

And dangerously, they have latched onto the simple but stupid 'immunity debt/gap' lie.

This idea was created to explain away the worse repercussions of common illnesses this year.
Lots of kids dying of Strep A? It's because they weren't exposed to enough germs two years ago! (🚨lie)

The lie that you have to get sick with harmful pathogens to prime your immune system, or that enough people need to get sick, or some weird stupid variation of it.

It's been rolled out on TV stations day and night here.
It's been rolled out in articles in papers and on news websites.
It's saturating the consciousness.

About a dozen people said it to me at some point this morning.
It was like people have been programmed.
It was astonishing.

And if the pandemic were truly over, it might not be so harmful, but people are now thinking that they *should* spread viruses.
They think they *should* catch viruses.
It's the logical conclusion of the immunity debt lie.

So, astonishingly, people are starting to attend events while sick, **in order to help other people with their immunity**.

You wouldn't think anyone could be that stupid, but they can.

This is the country that voted for brexit and Boris Johnson.

So we're now heading into a new variant wave when people not only resist mitigation, because they've been told that it causes Strep A child deaths, but also think they should spread viruses to help other people.

The government were just trying to cover for their lies, but instead they have opened up a whole new and dangerous problem.

With the immunity debt lie ringing in their ears, people are going to try to give *you* their illness this winter.

It has already started.

Be very careful whom you spend time with without mitigations this winter, because a lot of people now think they need to get sick to be well, and they need to get you sick to help you.

The hideous irony of a 42yo who has now caught Covid 6 times, who is constantly ill with every infection around, saying to me this morning that they're sick because they haven't been exposed to enough germs.

This is not a theory.
People I have met and spoken to are already thinking this way and acting on it.

Please let me know when you encounter people thinking like this or saying it, it would be good to hear what variations of the thinking are going round. ❤️
