A screenshot from my phone from 5 years ago.

The "forecasts" were right of course. More people did die in the second "wave" in 2021 than the first in 2020.

In fact 2020 age-standardised all cause mortality was the worst since only 2008, a year not known for its deadly pandemic. Without the media hype, the "deadly virus" would have passed by mostly unnoticed.

Yes, more people died in the second wave - just not because of COVID-19. From denial of normal medical care, active shortening of elderly people's lives via end-of-life drugs and isolation from their families, failure to use antibiotics to treat post-viral bacterial pneumonia, and from COVID vaccine injuries. In other words, more people died because of the response, not because of the virus.

And why were the forecasts right? Not because of foresight. Because the "excess" mortality was all planned, to create the "problem" for which the vaccines were to be portrayed as the "solution".

I will never forget what they did. Never.Image Age standardised all cause mortality 2020 compared to previous years:

During the coronapanic it was routine for those of us in the sceptic camp to be attacked online for being conspiracy theorists and for us to be pestered by the Big Pharma apologists to provide "references" to prove our points (as well as being censored and cancelled by people working for our own government).

No reference was ever good enough for them of course, but during that time I built up a huge archive of impeccably sourced information pointing directly to the whole thing being a massive scam. Where possible I'd go back and analyse the source data, rather than rely on a newspaper article or some third-hand commentator.

I thought I'd collect together the top few pieces of evidence and put them in a thread here for future reference in an attempt to make sure the whole thing doesn't get brushed under the carpet under the banner of "It was all Tony Fauci's fault for doing gain of function research". The scandal is so much bigger and wider than that.

So here it is 🧵: 1/10 Item 1 - Prof John Ioannidis estimates of the Infection Fatality Rate of COVID.

John Ioannidis, world-leading epidemiologist from Stanford (or he was at that time, his name was soon dragged through the mud), used seroprevalence data (indicating how many people had been exposed to SARS-COV-2) from studies around the world (32 different locations) to estimate the infection fatality rate of COVID-19 (how many people will die on average in a group of people infected with the virus).

He concluded that the median infection fatality rate was 0.27% and that for people under 70, the median was 0.05% (1 in 2,000), showing that the virus was overwhelmingly a risk only to the elderly and even then, little more of a risk than seasonal influenza. (As a comparison, the IFR of seasonal influenza is about 1 in 1,000 (0.1%) across all age groups).

These rates (from the real world) were far lower than those used in Imperial College modelling and quoted in the media by politicians. An early indication that the whole thing was being overblown.

And these estimates were produced very early on in the "pandemic" before the virus had mutated to become even less deadly.

I've been travelling to Hong Kong on and off for more than 20 years now, for holiday & family reasons, with a hiatus for a few years due to the democracy protests and being banned from there on account of my COVID unjabbed status.
Just back from another visit and I thought I would share my experiences for the benefit of anyone who might be considering a trip there.
1/Image Brief history: Hong Kong island was ceded to Britain in 1842 via the Treaty of Nanjing, becoming a British Crown Colony. Further territory on the mainland was ceded to Britain for 99 years from 1898. Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997, becoming a Special Autonomous Region, in theory at least, preserving many of the freedoms previously enjoyed under UK rule.

When I studied engineering I did a course called Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition.
I was rubbish at it, found it deadly dull, the lecturer was uninspiring and I gave it up as soon as humanly possible.
Which is ironic really, because pattern recognition was what alerted me very early on to the fact that the "pandemic" was likely a scam. 1/4Image I remembered that back in 2009/2010 a big deal was made out of a swine flu outbreak, also originating in China, whereby pharmaceutical companies, the WHO, modellers and health "experts" exaggerated the seriousness of the threat, governments massively over-ordered treatments and novel vaccines, and the vaccines turned out to be faulty and/or ineffective (Pandermix was found to cause narcolepsy in the under 20s - resulting in long-running legal cases).

On looking into this further, it transpired that many of the same names were involved then as a decade later - Christian Drosten, Neil Ferguson and Anthony Fauci on the Empire side, and Wolfgang Wodarg on the Rebel Alliance side.

And European politicians were very critical of the WHO and demanding an investigation.

Doesn't it all sound very familiar?

All captured very well by Channel 4 News, back in the days when they hadn't been bought by the Pharma industry. 2/4

A thread. 🧵
Introduction
Every so often I sit down and try to write a concise, Twitter tweet style, summary of what went down in relation to the Coronapanic. For two purposes:
1. To get my own mind straight about what (I think) happened and incorporate my latest understanding based on what I've read;
2. To be able to point to something if an imaginary person comes to me and says "ok, I don't believe the news media narrative any more, what do you think really happened?"

This is the result. It turned out not to be very concise after all. There's 20 tweets of dense text. Sorry about that. Scroll to the last tweet if you are attentionally challenged. 1/20. Via a vehicle called EcoHealthAlliance which was funded by the US government and was essentially a front for the US Department of Defense, gain of function research which was no longer allowed to take place in the US was outsourced to a lab in Wuhan in China. This research was focused on SARS-like coronaviruses remarkably similar to SARS-COV-2.

A thread 🧵Back in May there was talk from the people of BBC Verify that a "Conspiracy Movement" exists in the UK. I disagreed and pointed out that on the contrary what exists is legacy media conspiring to cover up the truth about many issues, notably COVID % the vaccines. 1/ I listed a number of specific issues where lies had been told. A fan of the BBC (who has since blocked me) posted a flat denial that any of these were true, but said he wasn't going to go through them individually. I replied that I would go through them individually. 2/ Image

A wee thread 🧵about how the need to conform can make people disbelieve the evidence of their own eyes.

The task for the participants was to examine several lines on a piece of paper and... 1/ identify which was the same length as the "target" line on the left. So for example, anyone could see at a moment's glance that line C was the same length as the target line.
In each test, all but one of the participants were Asch collaborators, with the real participants 2/ Image

🧵In part 1 of "What do you do when a government agency fails you?" I talked about the manifest failures of the MHRA to properly regulate the COVID vaccines, in particular the Astra Zeneca one.

In this, part 2 I'll talk about why they may be failing. 👇 1/ One possible explanation for the MHRA's failures is that they were simply overwhelmed. The COVID pandemic involved the rollout of injectable products at a speed and a scale never seen before. Even the seasonal influenza vaccine programme scaled up more slowly... 2/

@ABridgen posted the excess mortality chart for Germany which shows that current excess mortality exceeds the heights of the 2020 "pandemic". 1/ Image I had a look at a few other countries around Europe to see if this was an isolated example. France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal do not see this effect. But if you look at the Nordic countries excluding Sweden, something very similar is going on.
