There is much talk of echo chambers these days, but I seem to have found the precise opposite – a gaping chasm of a void into which questions I have been asking for 10 months go unanswered.
Proponents of draconian restrictions to combat respiratory disease are being extraordinarily quiet about developments in places that have continued with voluntary measures: places that have not scared people silly or inflicted draconian standstill policies. California vs Florida; North vs South Dakota… and yes, Sweden vs UK, two countries that are similarly urban despite the differences in overall population density due to larger swathes of tundra in the former.
The most up-to-date information from Sweden should be food for thought for all those banging the drum for restrictions to be extended or tightened. Lockdown sceptics have been continually castigated for mentioning Sweden. But facts matter, and despite diverging paths from 23 March 2020, the epidemic has tracked very similar paths in these two countries, as measured by cases of the disease.
But by using sensible – voluntary – measures that have been carefully crafted to limit the negative impacts on individuals as well as society as a whole, Sweden has hugely outperformed the UK in terms of collateral damage, as well as the most crucial metric of all: overall mortality. This graphic shows in crystal-clear detail how deaths involving Covid in Sweden have plummeted and continue to fall.
How could this be? Is it due to a gentle limitation on social interaction introduced there on 14 December? Secondary schools being closed (primary schools are open)? It certainly will not have anything to do with vaccination, as Sweden is tied to the EU’s vaccine farce, or linked to face mask wearing (though could be to the lack of it!). And Swedes are encouraged to spend as much time as possible outside (noting the alternative ‘stay at home’ laws that have been introduced in so many other places).
No, we need to look elsewhere. In the second week of January 2021, over 40% of serological tests carried out in Sweden were positive for SARS-CoV2 antibodies, as reported by the Swedish Public Health Authority. And as outlined in detail by this practising medical doctor, 40% is likely to be an underestimate, as at higher prevalence people who know they have already had the disease do not submit themselves for testing.
Do these data matter? And can they be true, given that the same source reported antibody levels at c. 15% after the end of the summer? Yes, and yes. The longitudinal nature of this data set – reported on a weekly basis – is the telling fact. Combined with the plummeting death toll in Sweden, it is an uncomfortable truth for lockdown proponents of all stripes.
This is a seasonal disease, and herd immunity works. Sweden essentially remained open over the summer, and has had a less bad resurgence (almost inline with ‘normal’ winter respiratory disease increases). And average annual death toll in Sweden is not extraordinarily out of line, noting the particularly low rate of mortality in 2019, something that all countries should be aspiring to.
I therefore continue to suggest that all the effort we have expended here in the UK on lockdowns, track & trace, school closures and the testing of asymptomatic people, have been in vain. We would have been far better off letting people out into the sunshine and the fresh air, and focussing our collective effort into supporting the NHS and its staff to prepare for a modest winter resurgence, which would have been less of a ‘spike’ if we had invested in surge capacity and rested staff, not hounded people in and out of lockdown.
So, to go back to one of key unanswered questions: why are we still not thinking rationally? Why are we worrying about Covid-19 cases, when the key metric should be mortality?
Why has HM Government not published a cost/benefit analysis of its current lockdown policy, despite this being highlighted by SAGE as a key requirement in the minutes of a meeting held on that fateful 23 March 2020: “Given the clear links between poverty and long-term ill health, health impacts associated with the economic consequences of interventions also need to be investigated” – and this was at a point when the lockdown as still intended to be ‘three weeks to flatten the curve’.
Why – in the face of credible evidence to the contrary – does the prevailing narrative that draconian “lockdowns work” persist? Each time we have introduced one, case growth was already declining. They are great for rich people. But they are terrible for everyone else. And please, please can we stop comparing the UK to New Zealand or Australia – yes, things might have been different if we had closed borders before February 2020. But we didn’t, and we happen to be an international travel hub, and are not based in the middle of the Southern Ocean miles from everywhere. Shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted has never been a sensible strategy.
As far as I can tell, the latest bout of comprehensive restrictions is an attempt to put life on hold until everybody has been vaccinated, as otherwise ‘cases’ of Covid-19 would exponentially rise, unfettered and unchecked. Better safe than sorry; we’re so close to vaccine nirvana that we might as well enjoy a few more months cuddling up with a book. What harm can it do?
As demonstrated above, this is a nonsense, and the harms are terrible. Fine for the ‘healthy wealthy’, but absolute disastrous for everyone else. ‘Stopping the spread’ is a fool’s errand at this level of endemic presence of the virus. And the absolute depravity of depriving those in the last months of their lives of the choice of how – and with whom – to spend those last precious moments is the utmost cruelty.
It is becoming increasingly hard to spin the nonsense being peddled by our lords and masters into a contiguous narrative that doesn’t have as many holes as a Swiss cheese.
Please can we accelerate the great opening up. It is long overdue.

IMPORTANT ALERT!
VACCINES KILLING OFF THE OLD?
Information is increasingly beginning to emerge of the short-term serious adverse effects of the various anti Covid-19 vaccines. (Longer term consequences are yet to appear) 'UK Column' here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHhCYkEwbAQ&feature=push-lsb&attr_tag=A40fBm39jMNhQbl2%3A6) devoted some time to the statistics that show a steep rise in death post introduction of mass vaccination of the elderly. Earlier experiments with animals had highlighted serious dangers requiring human vaccination to stopped. American studies had evidenced nearly 3% serious adverse reactions. The following list shows reported UK deaths that have occurred after vaccination. Whether the two were causally related is not clear but it certainly raises the question.
People with a history of significant allergic reactions should not be vaccinated with the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, the MHRA has said, after two adverse reactions reported on the first day of the UK vaccination programme.
https://www.gponline.com/mhra-warning-allergic-reactions-nhs-staff-given-covid-19-vaccine/article/1702322
In Britain adverse effects of Covid vaccination are reported to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) using this form https://coronavirus-yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/
"The MHRA told Full Fact that “With any major new vaccine campaign we always develop a proactive vigilance strategy, and COVID vaccines are no exception.”
“This is not because we think they will be unsafe. Based on the available published reports from the Phase One and Two clinical trials, we don’t currently anticipate any specific safety concerns with COVID-19 vaccines.”
The agency added that it expected to receive “around 1 Yellow Card report per 1,000 doses administered”. The yellow card scheme is the UK’s system for collecting and monitoring information on potential safety concerns involving medicines or medical products, so these can be evaluated. This is one way that the safety of a vaccine is continually monitored even after the trials are finished, and the vaccine is administered to the public." https://fullfact.org/online/vaccine-ai-mhra-adverse/
No statistical information appears to be available to the public at present, but if the estimate above is correct, MHRA seem to expect up to 60,000 adverse reactions if 60,000,000 are administered. This is seldom referred to by the MSM fully in support of the vaccination initiative.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is an USA CDC data base that can be searched by anyone. Apparently it receives around 30,000 adverse reaction to vaccination reports every year! Here are just a few recent ones following the administration of various proprietary Covid 19 vaccines.

This was unsuccessful and patient died.
VAERS ID: 917790-1, 90yo
At the time of vaccination, there was an outbreak of residents who had already tested positive for COVID 19 at the nursing home where patient was a resident. About a week later, patient tested positive for COVID 19. She had a number of chronic, underlying health conditions. The vaccine did not have enough time to prevent COVID 19. There is no evidence that the vaccination caused patient's death. It simply didn't have time to save her life.

Wow
“I gathered all vaccine ingredients into a list and contacted Poison Control. After intros and such, and asking to speak with someone tenured and knowledgeable, this is the gist of that conversation.
Me: My question to you is how are these ingredients categorized? As benign or poison? (I ran a few ingredients, formaldehyde, Tween 80, mercury, aluminum, phenoxyethanol, potassium phosphate, sodium phosphate, sorbitol, etc.)
He: Well, that's quite a list... But I'd have to easily say that they're all toxic to humans... Used in fertilizers... Pesticides... To stop the heart... To preserve a dead body... They're registered with us in different categories, but pretty much poisons. Why?
Me: If I were deliberately to feed or inject my child with these ingredients often, as a schedule, obviously I'd put my daughter in harm's way... But what would legally happen to me?
He: Odd question... But you'd likely be charged with criminal negligence... perhaps with intent to kill... and of course child abuse... Your child would be taken away from you... Do you know of someone's who's doing this to their child? This is criminal...
Me: An industry... These are the ingredients used in vaccines... With binding agents to make sure the body won't flush these out... To keep the antibody levels up indefinitely...
The man was beside himself. He asked if I would email him all this information. He wanted to share it with his adult kids who are parents. He was horrified and felt awful he didn't know... his kids are vaccinated and they have health issues...”
INGREDIENTS TO VACCINES - You CANNOT make an educated decision without being educated.
Here are just SOME vaccine ingredients.
These are being INJECTED into your kids;
Formaldehyde/Formalin - Highly toxic systematic poison and carcinogen.
Betapropiolactone - Toxic chemical and carcinogen. May cause death/permanant injury after very short exposure to small quantities. Corrosive chemical.
Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide - May cause damage to the liver, cardiovascular system, and central nervous system. May cause reproductive effects and birth defects.
Aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, and aluminum salts - Neurotoxin. Carries risk for long term brain inflammation/swelling, neurological disorders, autoimmune disease, Alzheimer's, dementia, and autism. It penetrates the brain where it persists indefinitely.
Thimerosal (mercury) - Neurotoxin. Induces cellular damage, reduces oxidation-reduction activity, cellular degeneration, and cell death. Linked to neurological disorders, Alzheimer's, dementia, and autism.
Polysorbate 80 & 20 - Trespasses the Blood-Brain Barrier and carries with it aluminum, thimerosal, and viruses; allowing it to enter the brain.
Glutaraldehyde - Toxic chemical used as a disinfectant for heat sensitive medical equipment.
Fetal Bovine Serum - Harvested from bovine (cow) fetuses taken from pregnant cows before slaughter.
Human Diploid Fibroblast Cells - aborted fetal cells. Foreign DNA has the ability to interact with our own.
African Green Monkey Kidney Cells - Can carry the SV-40 cancer-causing virus that has already tainted about 30 million Americans.
Acetone - Can cause kidney, liver, and nerve damage.
E.Coli - Yes, you read that right.
DNA from porcine (pig) Circovirus type-1
Human embryonic lung cell cultures (from aborted fetuses)
You can view all of these ingredients on the CDCs website. I encourage everyone to do their own research. Look up the MSDS on these chemicals. Read the thousands of peer reviewed studies that have evaluated the biological consequences these chemicals can have on the body, especially when being injected.

Eleven residents die in three weeks after care home Covid outbreak
The outbreak occurred at Trecarrel Care Home, part of the Cornwallis Care Services group, after the GP administered Covid-19 vaccination programme
From: https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/eleven-residents-die-three-weeks-5005443?utm_source=cornwall_live_newsletter&utm_campaign=daily_newsletter2&utm_medium=email
Eleven residents at a care home have died in the past three weeks after testing positive for Covid-19.
The deaths account for a quarter of the total residents at Trecarrel Care Home, part of the Cornwallis Care Services group, and each of them was said to have been "already ill with underlying health conditions".
Cornwall Live revealed last week that the home in Tywardreath, near St Austell, had an outbreak along with two other Cornwallis Care Services (CCSL) residential homes, in St Ives and in Lostwithiel.
Now the home has confirmed that eleven of its 44 residents have passed away as a result since the outbreak was first detected on January 24. There have been no further positive cases registered since February 5.
Nicola Hemsley, the operations director for Cornwallis Care Services, said in a statement: "Following a rigorous regular testing programme of both staff and residents at Trecarrel, Covid-19 infections were initially identified on 24th January, subsequent to the residents, GP administered, Covid-19 vaccination programme."
She continued: "Following this, CCSL sadly confirm that there have now been 11 Covid-19 related deaths at Trecarrel in a community of 44 residents.
