Bloomberg are headlining ‘Norway Raises Concern Over Vaccine Jabs for the Elderly’ in a report by Lars Erik Taraldsen.

The number of elderly people with serious underlying health conditions who have died after receiving the Pfizer vaccine is now estimated at 29.

Mr Taraldsen says: ‘The latest figure adds six to the number of known fatalities in Norway, and lowers the age group thought to be affected to 75 from 80. While it’s unclear exactly when the deaths occurred, Norway has given at least one dose to about 42,000 people and focused on those considered most at risk if they contract the virus, including the elderly.’

‘All deaths linked to Pfizer vaccine’

Up until last Friday, the vaccine produced by Pfizer and BioNTech SE was the only one available in Norway. Therefore “all deaths are thus linked to this vaccine,” the Norwegian Medicines Agency said in a written response to Bloomberg on Saturday.

“There are 13 deaths that have been assessed, and we are aware of another 16 deaths that are currently being assessed,” the agency said. All the reported deaths related to “elderly people with serious basic disorders,” it said. “Most people have experienced the expected side effects of the vaccine, such as nausea and vomiting, fever, local reactions at the injection site, and worsening of their underlying condition.”

Mr Taraldsen drily observes: ‘Official reports of allergic reactions have been rare as governments rush to roll out vaccines to try to contain the global pandemic.’ The U.S. authorities have reported just 21 cases of severe allergic reactions after administration of about 1.9 million initial doses of the Pfizer vaccine in a date frame of 14th – 23rd December. The first Europe-wide safety report on the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is not due to be published until the end of January.

Vaccines normally tested for years

But even then, the report can be no more than an interim observation. Normally, vaccines are tested for years. Panicky governments have been in such a rush to vaccinate their people and big pharma have been so adroit at pushing the line that a vaccine strategy bringeth salvation that normal safety procedures have been thrown out of the window. For example, the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency has not actually licensed either of the two vaccines currently being rolled out. In a linguistic sleight of hand, both the Pfizer and the AstraZeneca / Oxford vaccines are merely ‘approved’ by the Agency.

Worldwide, whole populations are unwittingly taking part in a massive vaccine trial. People are uninformed, unpaid, unwittting vaccine guinea-pigs. The MHRA Board declarations of interests reveals three individuals with shareholdings in vaccine companies sit on its board. Its Chairman, Stephen Lightfoot, holds shares in GlaxoSmithKline. MHRA Board members Amanda Calvert and Anne-Toni Rodgers are shareholders in AstraZeneca.

Most deaths in high-risk groups

The profile of those most adversely affected in Norway precisely coincides with those people governments are passionately eager to vaccinate. Indeed, Bloomberg says: ‘The findings have prompted Norway to suggest that Covid-19 vaccines may be too risky for the very old and terminally ill, the most cautious statement yet from a European health authority.

‘The Norwegian Institute of Public Health judges that “for those with the most severe frailty, even relatively mild vaccine side effects can have serious consequences. For those who have a very short remaining life span anyway, the benefit of the vaccine may be marginal or irrelevant”.’

But exactly the same can be said of those in younger age groups who have a survival rate touching 99.9%. They are at minimal risk of showing anything other than mild symptoms and have a tiny risk of dying from (or ‘with’) the Covid-19 disease.

Australia’s Concern

Bloomberg reports: ‘Emer Cooke, the new head of the European Medicines Agency, has said tracking the safety of Covid vaccines, especially those relying on novel technologies such as messenger RNA, would be one of the biggest challenges once shots are rolled out widely.

‘Though the two Covid-19 vaccines approved so far in Europe were tested in tens of thousands of people — including volunteers in their late 80s and 90s — the average trial participant was in his or her early 50s. The first people to be immunized in many places have been older than that as countries rush to inoculate nursing-home residents at high risk from the virus.’

Australia has an agreement for 10 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine. It appears Health Minister Greg Hunt told reporters in Melbourne on Sunday Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration will seek “additional information, both from the company, but also from the Norwegian medical regulator.” Australia’s foreign ministry will also contact its counterpart in Norway on the issue.

India reports problems

Norway is not the only country where those receiving the vaccine have experience dire effects; it may just be the only one to report on the matter honestly. The UK’s BBC, for instance, has been cheering for the vaccine as much as it has continued Covid Project Fear, this time over real or imagined overwhelming of our beloved NHS.

RT reports: ‘On Sunday, a 52-year-old hospital worker in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh died a day after receiving the injection. The man’s son told local media that he believed his father died from side effects of the vaccine. He said his father had a “bit of pneumonia, cough and cold” before taking the shot, but “started feeling worse” after the injection. The man later complained of congestion and chest pain and was rushed to the hospital, where he was declared dead.

‘However, government officials claim that the individual succumbed to cardiac arrest, stressing that the fatality was “not related to the Covid-19 vaccination.” An autopsy revealed that the victim suffered from blood clots and had pockets of pus in his lungs.’

The report is strikingly similar to the Norwegian experience.

Warning from vaccine company

A second death was reported in Bellary in Karnataka. ‘The 43-year-old male was vaccinated on Saturday and died on Monday. The government says the man suffered from cardiopulmonary failure. It’s unclear which drug he was given. India granted emergency approval to two variants of the Covid-19 vaccine earlier this month: Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin, and Covishield, a jab based on the AstraZeneca/Oxford formula and manufactured by the Serum Institute of India.

‘The two individuals were among seven reported cases involving severe adverse reactions to the drug following the start of a nationwide immunization drive on Saturday, according to India Today.

‘On Monday, Bharat Biotech issued a fact sheet which advised against taking the vaccine if a person suffers from “any allergies” or is immunocompromised.’

‘May not respond as well’

Once again, those immunocompromised are precisely the group western medics insist should be vaccinated. A US arthritis charity, ‘Creaky Joints’, asksw on its website: ‘Can you get the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine if you’re immunocompromised?’ It answers: ‘As with Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, the short answer is yes.’ But it still goes on: ‘people with these health issues were not part of the clinical trial on which the emergency use authorization was based.’

The The UK GPs’ publication ‘Pulse’ merely says: ‘Many individuals who are clinically extremely vulnerable will have some degree of immunosuppression or be immunocompromised and may not respond as well to the vaccine.’

There is no hint there that it may kill them.

Christians should ‘steer clear’

Add in expressed expert concerns over effects on female fertility and the ethical problem of a cell-line in manufacture which originated from an aborted baby and this ministry is increasingly recommending Christians steer clear of the vaccine.

It may be objected that vaccine objectors are relying on those who do take the vaccine for their immunity. We are certainly relying on vaccine roll-outs to give a cover for governments, including that of the UK, to lift their unjust, ungodly, oppressive raft of restrictions.

Nevertheless, we maintain that natural immunity has already built up here and worldwide and is still building.

It may also be objected that we should be vaccinated ourselves to protect others. However, guidance from the UK Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) said last month it was currently ‘not in a position to advise vaccination solely on the basis of indirect protection’.

Furthermore, a policy such as that recommended by the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration of encouraging those most at risk to shield themselves if they wish whilst allowing the rest of us to live normal lives and provide for our families, as the entire world has done in every preceding SARS epidemic and flu season, is the correct scriptural response.

The UK media have been rejoicing over the Pfizer vaccine. The party was spoiled to an extent when two NHS workers had allergic reactions on the first day of the roll-out.  That prompted the UK regulators to warn people with a history of significant allergic reactions not to have the new Pfizer/BioNTech jab. One would have thought they could have said that before the unfortunate pair were dosed up.

However, the media are also abuzz with worries over ‘false information’ about vaccines appearing on social media and that this information might dissuade people from lining up.

The BBC reported: “COVID-19: Facebook to take down false vaccine claims”. Facebook, we are told, have a ‘crack team’ of ‘independent fact-checkers’. So what are these ‘false claims’ about COVID-19 vaccines which Facebook plans to start removing? By ‘false’ does it mean anything remotely sceptical? How many of Facebook’s ‘crack team’ will be vaccine specialists? Or will they just follow the WHO and government lines?

CRIMINAL PENALTIES!

Last month, Labour even called for financial and criminal penalties for social media firms that do not remove ‘false scare stories’ about vaccines.

The BBC actually has a ‘disinformation reporter’. She is Marianna Spring. She explained: ‘Baseless conspiracy theories about a coronavirus vaccine have been spreading on social media for months – and the latest vaccine news rekindled these pre-existing narratives online.

‘Within hours of news breaking about the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, comments and memes suggesting it will deliberately harm us were popping up in local Facebook groups, parent chats and on Instagram.
‘This kind of disinformation is worlds away from legitimate concerns that a vaccine is safe and properly tested.’

Well yes it is, but who is to decide what is a legitimate concern and what is a ‘baseless conspiracy theory’?

MOST DON’T NEED THE VACCINE

Frankly, I don’t inject myself with things I don’t need.

  Even Professor Eric Caumes, who has been running Project Fear in France and favoures lockdowns, has clearly stated he will not take an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, such as Pfizer’s.

Moreover, with the fatality rate being so low, anyone who receives the vaccine who neither has a pre-existing medical condition nor works with those who do is taking an unnecessary risk with their health. Professor Mike Yeadon is saying the same sort of things. Health bosses might well plead that they need 80% take up ‘for immunity to be sufficiently widespread’ but community immunity after infection can surely be trusted to do the same job. The trouble is, the latter, like Vitamin D, eating healthily and taking exercise, makes their chums no money.

BBC ‘DISPROVES’ CLAIMS

So what claims are actually being made? The BBC says they boil down to four it believes it can refute:

* ‘Altered DNA’ claims,
* Bill Gates and microchip claims,
* Foetal tissue claims,
* Recovery rate claims.

They could add, but they don’t:

* Concerns about mercury,
* The record of vaccine companies,
* Genuine concerns about safety and
* Why the vaccine has not been licensed as ‘safe and efficacious’,
* Why I initial adverse side effects are so common,
* The possibility of coercion, let alone
* Whether the vaccine could become compulsory.

CHRISTIAN RESPONSIBILITY

We look at all these claims, finding out how many are true and which are false, in an extended ‘vaccine’ article in the December 2020 Christian Voice newsletter, which our members, that’s those who support this ministry both by their prayers and by their financial contributions, have just received by post.

To receive your copy, CLICK HERE, join Christian Voice as a member, and share in our mission to empower believers with the information they need to target their prayer and action, just as the early church in Philippi partnered with the Apostle Paul:

Phil 4:10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

Chrisitians have a responibility to witness to the truth and raise a prophetic voice.

Isa 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

Aware of this our God-given duty it is therefore vital for the Lord’s people o discern truth from fiction. After all, in everything we do we are bound to be people of truth:

Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Psalm 85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
Matt 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

FEMALE INFERTILITY

The BBC could also have added ‘concerns about female infertility’. This is a massive issue and the only one of the above list we have decided to pull out of the newsletter article and share in this post. A social media post has claimed Pfizer’s vaccine could cause sterilization and problems related to infertility. Is this a ‘false claim’? The post reads:

‘The head of research at Pfizer says the COVID-19 vaccine causes female sterilization because it contains a spike protein called syncytin-1, vital for the formation of human placenta in women. If the vaccine works so that we form an immune response AGAINST the spike protein, we are also training the female body to attack syncytin-1, which could lead to infertility in women of an unspecified duration.’

The Times of India struggles to refute the claim, urging readers not to give ‘in to vaccine hesitancy’ and ‘not break the chain’, before accepting ‘that all COVID-19 vaccines are newly made, so identifying long-term damages, or other health implications would require a lot more research.’

It says: ‘There is also no evident or anecdotal studies which suggest that COVID vaccines may be detrimental to fertility. Most COVID vaccines currently under work build up the body’s defences, spike antibody counts to prevent future COVID strike. There is no other impact on any other vital body functioning.’ But that is just an assertion. As they say, it’s early days. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

PREGNANCY SHOULD BE EXCLUDED

The UK Department of Health admit: ‘There are no or limited amount of data from the use of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2. Animal reproductive toxicity studies have not been completed.’ They go on to say ‘COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 is not recommended during pregnancy.’

Furthermore, ‘pregnancy should be excluded before vaccination’ and ‘women of childbearing age should be advised to avoid pregnancy for at least 2 months after their second dose.’ Furthermore, ‘A risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded’ and the vaccine ‘should not be used during breast-feeding.’

On the subject of fertility, and under that very heading, which is unusual, they freely admit, ‘It is unknown whether COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 has an impact on fertility.’ That disclaimer is deliberate, placed there to put all the blame on the regulator.

HEAD OF RESEARCH AT PFIZER

The cited ‘head of research at Pfizer’ is none other than Professor Mike Yeadon. He did work for Pfizer as Vice President and CSO of its allergy and respiratory research unit. In a letter to the European Medicines Agency, he and public health specialist Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg asked for a halt in the Pfizer trials because the vaccine might block the formation of the placenta. He wrote: ‘It must be absolutely ruled out that a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 could trigger an immune reaction against syncytin-1, as otherwise infertility of indefinite duration could result in vaccinated women.’

The doctors did not say, as the social media post claims, that the vaccine would definitely cause female infertility.

But they did raise an important question and urged that trials be suspended for research into the topic to take place.

When Pfizer were contacted by investigator Bob Segall, who was hoping to secure an all-clear, they said, ‘We are not commenting on this’. Mr Segall said that was ‘not exactly helpful’. In other words, Pfizer know there is a problem.

Isa 29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

ATTACK THE MESSENGERS

Mr Segall also tried an ad hominem attack, claiming both Professor Yeadon and Dr Wodarg ‘have a history of peddling false information about Covid.’ The ‘false information’ consisted firstly of Professor Yeadon saying the pandemic was effectively over, a valid point of view, although not one the establishment would accept. Secondly Dr Wodarg claimed earlier this year the SARS Cov-2 virus is ‘no more harmful than the seasonal flu’. ‘Which is also untrue’, said Mr Segall.

Except it isn’t untrue but merely debatable. In October, Dr Michael Ryan,the WHO’s Head of Emergencies revealed they believe roughly 10% of the world has been infected with SARS-Cov-2. The death toll worldwide was then 1,061,539, 10% of the world was 780 million, giving an infection fatality rate of roughly 0.14%, in line with seasonal flu. In fact, given the over-reporting of alleged Covid deaths, the IFR is likely even lower than 0.14%, and could show Covid to be even less dangerous than flu.

In his parting shot, despite Pfizer offering ‘no comment’, and despite the lack of evidence, Bob Segall concluded by describing the infertility claim as ‘FALSE’. ‘At the same time’, he went on, ‘It is fair to point out the vaccine is so new there are no long-term studies to show the long-term impact on fertility.’

CONCLUSION

Generally speaking, this is my conclusion: If you are over eighty, or have an immune challenge or a pre-existing condition, or if you are obese, which heaven forbid, have the vaccine when it is offered if you think it is right to do so and you are not troubled about the use of foetal-line cells being used in the manufacture. If you are not any of those, and especially if you are a woman of child-bearing age, my advice is don’t have it. You don’t need it. And you do not know what it will do to you.

Jer 46:11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.

Restaurants and bars are preparing to close daily at 6pm in Glasgow and Edinburgh at the behest of Scotland’s Supreme Leader Nicola Sturge-Un, putting thousands out of work yet again.

Amos 4:1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

Meanwhile, the UK Government is predicting a ‘second wave’ of Covid-19 in the North West of England ‘even worse than the first’.

It will happen, they say, ‘within the next three weeks’.

Documents leaked

The scary public health documents have been sent to public health staff around Greater Manchester and Lancashire and leaked to the Mail. They say:

‘Even if a full scale lockdown was called tomorrow bed occupancy would continue to rise after the next two weeks as hospital beds fill quicker than they empty for Covid patients.

‘During the first peak in April hospital bed occupancy reached its maximum point in the North West at 2,890 on April 13th. It is extremely likely that this will happen in 17 to 22 days. If nothing changes in terms of downward pressure on R [reproduction rate] in the next 10 days, hospital bed occupancy will start to approach 6,000 in 30 to 35 days. This is double the number of beds occupied at the peak in the North West in April.’

Jer 6:25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.

Look out for the figures in three weeks’ time (30th October).

It’s becoming boring

Three-and-a-half weeks ago, on 14th September, one Dr John Ashton, former president of the UK Faculty of Public Health, told Sky News: ‘We’re seeing day on day now about 3,000 reported new cases. We feel as though it’s back in March,’ he said.

He went on: ‘In a week’s time you’ll get people getting sicker, in two to three weeks’ time we’ll see an increase in people being admitted to hospital. And then almost certainly the deaths will pick up after that. This is a desperate situation.’

You can view hospital admission in England HERE. On 6th October they reached 400. However, although they doubled in the north of England, admissions have stayed steady everywhere else.

Moreover, despite admissions rising in early September, the website Staista reveals deaths involving Covid-19 have been within a range of 13 to 76 per day now for the past fortnight, averaging 47 per day. That compares with 25 per day on average in the previous fortnight. Nevertheless, the Daily Telegraph reports that influenza and pneumonia are still currently more deadly than Covid-19.

The Office for National Statistics reports weekly on deaths in England and Wales. In the week to 26th September, 1,376 people died on average each day. Deaths associated with Covid-19 are fewer than 3.5% of all deaths. Deaths from cancer are normally 450 per day in the UK.

Ask your MP how much the Government measures have cost and are costing the United Kingdom per Covid-19 death. How does that compare with how much they have spent combating cancer per cancer death?

Northern lockdown not working

Yesterday, ITV reported on northern leaders concerns that the lockdowns in their areas are not working. Leaders in Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle and Leeds warned Health Secretary Matt Hancock they would not support further “economic lockdowns”. They called for ‘new powers’, whatever they might be, to tackle the resurgence. Lockdowns were even ‘counter-productive’, they said.

Figures of infections and hospital admissions have kept rising in their areas, they point out. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer agreed with them. Professor John Edmunds, who sits on the scientific advisory group for emergencies (SAGE), also agreed local measures had failed. His answer? ‘New national restrictions are needed immediately’.

“We need to take much more stringent measures, not just in the north of England, we need to do it countrywide, and bring the epidemic back under control,” he said

‘Bring it under control’

In an article headed ‘The truth about England’s second wave of COVID-19,’ the Daily Mail suggests ‘the South of England faces panic and possible new lockdown rules based on situation hundreds of miles away.’ Suggesting possible unrest if London and the south were ‘punished’ for the alleged misdeeds of the north, it goes on: ‘Hospitalisations are 6% of peak levels in the South but 30% in the North and deaths have flattened in all but the North West, North East and the Midlands.’

But we are hearing all over the place right now, on BBC news this lunchtime, for example, that the Virus is ‘out of control’. On its website, the BBC reports Government minister Gillian Keegan MP complaining ‘Coronavirus is “getting out of control” in the north of England’. Naturally, she was defending as yet unspecified ‘government plans to bring in new restrictions’.

Implicit in all this talk is a vainglorious idea that by human intervention the virus can be brought ‘under control’, even that it is an outrage that it refuses to be ‘controlled’.

One could be forgiven for bringing to mind the image of King Cnut enthroned on the sea shore commanding the tide to stop coming in. The plain truth is, no matter what they do, the virus will run its course, it isn’t that serious for most of the population, and doctors are better at treating it now anyway. The latter point also suggests that perhaps as many as two-thirds of those who lost their lives between March and May died unnecessarily, but none of the media have picked up on that aspect yet.

President backs Declaration

Also today, President Trump has backed a scientists’ anti-lockdown statement. The Great Barrington Declaration was co-authored by the distinguished Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School and our own Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University. It has to date also been signed by 5,521 Medical & Public Health Scientists, 11,140 Medical Practitioners and 153,644 members of the General Public. You too can sign it!

The Declaration says: ‘Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.

‘Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.’ They go on to observe that every society will build up ‘herd immunity’ but this cannot depend upon a vaccine.

‘The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection.’

Vaccine doctors criticise Declaration

Naturally, the Great Barrington Declaration was soon criticised. The BBC reported on this article in Science Media Centre. It was entitled ‘expert reaction to Barrington Declaration…’ No fewer than seven academics took aim at the Declaration. Five of them argued specifically for vaccines rather than herd immunity to inoculate the population. The remaining two cast doubt on herd immunity anyway:

One of them, Prof Jeremy Rossman, from the University of Kent, said ‘We still do not know if herd immunity is possible to achieve. Herd immunity relies on lasting immunological protection from coronavirus re-infection; however, we have heard many recent cases of re-infection occurring and some research suggests protective antibody responses may decay rapidly.’ One would expect an expert in virology to know about T-cells, but there we are.

The Science Media exists ‘to pass on to journalists as much accurate information as we can’. It aims to be a ‘fact-checker’ website. Its funding page reveals its main sources of funding come from vaccine manufacturers. The chief provider of funds, more than £30,000 per annum, is the Wellcome Trust. The director of the Wellcome Trust is Sir Jeremy James Fairer OBE FRCP FRS FmedSci, who also sits on the Government lockdown-advocating SAGE group. Its website says: ‘Wellcome is supporting the development of new vaccines and enabling better and broader use of the vaccines that already exist.’

Three vaccine manufacturers contribute between £10,000 and £19,999. They are AstraZeneca, Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD) Limited and Sanofi. A fourth, GlaskoSmithKline (GSK), stumps up between £20,000 and £30,000.

Long Covid

You may have heard Health Secretary Matt Hancock talking about the terrors of ‘Long Covid’. The Evening Standard reported him back in September trying to scare young people with this new bogey-man. Speaking on LBC radio, Mr Hancock said: “Long Covid, where people six months on are still ill, is prevalent among younger people.” And of course there a scientist on hand to back him up. Professor Tim Spector is leading the ‘Covid Symptom Study app’. He said around 300,000 people have reported symptoms lasting for more than a month and up to 60,000 people have been ill for more than three months.

However, an article in the Telegraph admits ‘Long Covid’ is ‘rarer than you think’. Only 2% are poorly at three months. (Which figure would mean Prof Spector believes some 3 million of us have contracted Covid-19.) Moreover, this is what happens with viruses. Some linger on, but the overwhelming majority get better quickly (like President Trump).

Prof Frances Williams at Kings College London has been studying the data behind Prof Spector’s app. ‘This is absolutely the message we should give: a small proportion have symptoms at 13 weeks, but really pretty much everybody is better by then,’ said Dr Williams.

So why is Mr Hancock making so much of the alleged dangers of ‘Long Covid’? It’s because ordinary Covid is not scary enough any more.

Lockdown cost lives

The Daily Telegraph reported two days ago on a report in the BMJ. Researchers from Edinburgh University have reassessed the Imperial College modelling that showed half a million people would die without lockdown. On the contrary, ‘Herd immunity could have saved more lives than lockdown.’

The report goes on: ‘In a study published in the BMJ, Edinburgh University predicted that over the entire course of the pandemic, keeping children out of classrooms would increase deaths by between 80,000 and 95,000. Likewise, social distancing of everyone, rather than just the over-70s, could cost between 149,000 and 178,000 lives.’ Preventing children and young people from mingling may have had the counterintuitive effect of actually killing more people.

‘The authors of the new paper, who rediscovered the figures in their reappraisal, said the Government appeared to have chosen to protect the NHS in the short term, rather than save lives throughout the whole epidemic. Although it reduced peak demand for ICU beds, it prolonged the epidemic, resulting in more long-term Covid-19 deaths.’

‘Lead author Graeme Ackland, Professor of computer simulation at the University of Edinburgh, said: “In March the Government had to make a decision: did they want to save lives or beds?

‘”Lockdown does mean that the number of deaths goes down, so there is a short-term gain, but it leads to long-term pain. If you had done nothing, it would all be over by now. It would have been absolutely horrendous but it would be over. It wouldn’t even have been completely lunatic to do nothing”.’ In fact countries which did nothing, like Belarus and Tanzania, have had better outcomes than the UK.

Why aren’t they listening?

In the face of all this, why do the Government persist with pointless, counter-productive lockdowns, restrictions and ‘interventions? Why can we not all get back to normal and live with a not-particularly-deadly respiratory disease?

In a leader column, the Daily Telegraph asks the same question.

Scientists are saying ‘measures such as the rule of six and the 10pm curfew are not working and should be scrapped.’ Yet: ‘Mr Johnson has no intention of loosening controls and is prepared to tighten them.’ Disappointingly, the ‘Rule-of-six’ measure sailed through the Commons last week as Labour abstained. However, MPs should get to vote on the curfew next week. Sir Keir has called for the scientific evidence for it. He knows there isn’t any. Pray his party opposes the measure.

Britain is destroyed

As the Telegraph points out: ‘The Government’s stated strategy is to suppress the virus through social controls until a vaccine becomes available.’ Even before the Government vaccine supremo admitted than not even 50% of us would be offered the vaccine, that position was just not tenable.

The paper concludes: ‘The immense health, economic, social and cultural harm being caused by the current strategy without arresting the spread of the disease demands a rethink before the damage becomes irreparable.’ It may already be:

Exodus 10:7 And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
