1/7 10 ways to recognize fascism (when it is shoved in your face) - now and in the past.

Fascism:
1.Seeks to divide people into an ‘us’ and a dangerous, degenerate, less intelligent ‘them’. 2/7
2.Favors rule by emergency decree, promoting fear to build community support against a common enemy.
3.Mocks calls for individual freedom, painting "freedumb" advocates as a threat to the common good.

1/10 Defending @WHO

A lot of negative stuff is being said about our leading international health agency. The record needs to be set straight.

They are requesting more power to save us.

Why not be saved more, like we were from Covid?

A few facts in their defense. 2/10 In the face of clear evidence that Covid overwhelmingly targeted the elderly and infirm, WHO courageously stood firm, promoting lockdowns, mass unemployment & the confinement of young, fit people.

1/12 On lies and medical fascism.

In the 1920s -1930s, public health abandoned truth & equality, promoting lies and inequality instead.
This dominated practice from institutions such as Johns Hopkins to the medical societies of Europe. 2/12 This indecency in variously expressed in forced sterilization and/or killing of members of society they felt inferior or non-contributing, and later the mass murder of millions who were considered genetically or socially inferior.

1/7 A note on amnesty & disgusting behavior.

In 2021 a friend needed to visit her mother terminally ill with cancer in a Canadian hospital.

My friend felt strongly regarding bodily autonomy & human rights. She was young & fit & had elected not to have a Covid vaccine. 2/7 The hospital staff refused to let her visit her dying mother unless she agreed to be vaccinated.

They would prefer her mother lie alone, in pain, without family.

1/7 Let’s strip away evidence and history, and try something new.

Let’s put software entrepreneurs, a Swiss-German corporate club and Pharma CEOs in charge of public health, and see what happens.

Let’s then lock old people in homes and withdraw support, and see what happens. 2/7 Let’s stop taxpayers from earning money, and see what happens

Let’s close borders, and see what happens

Let’s stop cancer and cardiovascular screening, and see what happens

1/8 Outlandish Covid-era conspiracy theories – Find 2 that didn’t happen.

•Covid-19 vaccine mandates would be imposed for students and children
•Forced marriages for girls would become an acceptable cost to sell Pharma. 2/8
•Playgrounds would be closed in response to a disease that kills on at an average age of 78.
•Mammoth hair would substitute for wool in the New Zealand fashion industry.
•WHO would rewrite its ‘herd-immunity’ definition to exclude non-pharmaceutically-driven responses.

1/6 The WHO is being disingenuous👇

WHO knows increased deaths are significantly due to WHO's response to the pandemic, not just the virus or 'over-burdened health systems'.

This is why WHO advised against lockdowns in 2019 (flu pandemic guidelines).

who.int/news/item/05-0… 2/6
Covid deaths are highly concentrated in the elderly.

Unicef estimated nearly a quarter million dead children from lockdowns in South Asia in 2020 alone.

1/18 An Accelerated History of Pandemics.

541–543 AD: Plague of Justinian (like earlier ones). Bacterial (Bubonic -Y. pestis), bad because no antibiotics (ABs).

1347–1351 Black Death, Bubonic again (no ABs)

1817–1824 1st cholera pandemic (still no ABs) 2/18 1820s - 1900: Still more cholera, bit of Y. pestis (still no ABs…)

Blame mostly shifted to dirty colonies

1918-18 Spanish flu. Virus. Nasty. 20-50M dead, including lots of kids. Mostly from secondary bacterial infections (still no ABs).

1/10 This pathetic Guardian article exemplifies the lies & manipulation that have debased public health, and legacy media.

Guardian sponsors have gained $10Bs during the Covid pandemic. This article appears to be shamelessly doing their bidding.

theguardian.com/commentisfree/… 2/10 The authoritarian lockdown policies strongly advocated by The Guardian caused an unprecedented wealth shift from low-income working-class people to the very wealthy (Guardian sponsors) & did massive harm to low-income populations globally.

1/7 Building back humanity.

I once had a very premature baby lying on my chest for hours, day after day, tubes, monitors & all, because evidence has shown skin-skin contact improves outcomes in very premature babies. They thrive on human contact. 2/7 In the same way that seeing facial expressions, smiles, moving lips helps them to develop communications skills, connect with parents, smile back.

1/9 Debunking conspiracies.
Early 2020, conspiracy theorists predicted nonsense about compulsory masking, coerced mass vaccination (even children!), & outlandish stuff on digital currencies and government control of the right to spend & travel based on social credit scores. 2/9 Tin hats, all of them, and rightly denigrated.
We live in democracies, have human rights treaties & courts to uphold them, we elect our governments. We run them, they don’t run us. The virus kills >75yo 1000x more than children. Vax programs would be scientific, targeted.

1/6 A thread on @BBC and gutter journalism.

The BBC, apart from spelling the podcaster’s name wrong, is palpably wrong on each of their 4 points of refutation.

Does it matter when public media lies to denigrate another person?

Joe Rogan: Four claims … bbc.co.uk/news/60199614 2/6 ‘Gene therapy’. In the quote, he doesn’t say ‘alters your genes’ as BBC state.

The definition of vaccine changed in 2020 to accommodate mRNA vax.

As Moderna note, they are genetic material, ‘mRNA medicines’, intended to have a ‘therapeutic effect’.

1/5 Dear Sajid,

1. Fully informed consent is essential in public health
2 Healthy children are at V low COVID-19 risk
3. Post-infection immunity to COVID is effective & long-lasting
4. Associated vax adverse events are significant

Let's protect kids

2/5 1. Consent
"The principle of consent is an important part of medical ethics and international human rights law".

"must be given all of the information ... including the benefits and risks, whether there are reasonable alternative treatments"

1/8 A new UNICEF report should shame the WHO, WEF, Gates Foundation & the entire global health community.

It details ‘increasing poverty, entrenched inequality & threats to the rights of children at previously unseen levels.’

unicef.org/press-releases…

unicef.org/media/112891/f… 2/8 Saying 'COVID-19 has done this' is misleading. Nearly all COVID-19 deaths occur in the elderly & those with severe co-morbidities.

These ‘unprecedented’ harms to children are almost entirely man-made, predictable and avoidable.

1/4 Lancet article debunking the 'Pandemic of the unvaccinated".

This term was always about denigration and cheap scapegoating, not health.

"(UK)... week 39 and 42, ... 89.821 COVID-19 cases occurred among the fully vaccinated (89.7%), 3.395 among the unvaccinated (3.4%)" 2/4 "The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies four of the top five counties with the highest percentage of fully vaccinated population (99.9–84.3%) as “high” transmission counties"

1/5 On variants, pandemics and profit

Respiratory virus variants occur - it's normal.

Deliberate fear mongering, travel restrictions, coercion, lockdowns (wrecking economies, enriching software and online purveyors), is not.

msn.com/en-gb/news/wor…

bbc.com/news/uk-594451… 2/5 Each cycle since early 2020 – lockdowns, travel restrictions, coerced & mandated vaccination – has further impoverished the majority, further enriched a few.

1/7 As an Australian, I want to write something on the significance of what happened in Melbourne this week, and the destruction of societal values.
About the scenes of black-clad police firing rubber bullets at protestors at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne. 2/7 The Shrine of Remembrance is as close as non-Aboriginal Australia comes to a sacred place. It's an unusually moving place of quiet and reflection. Evokes the memory of many who chose to risk death, and died, so that others would be free, not live under totalitarian regimes.
