''Top British scientists linked to Covid lab ‘cover-up.’''

''''Sir Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, and Sir Patrick Vallance, formerly president of research and development at the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and chief scientific adviser to the Government since March 2018, both feature in the ‘Fauci files’, an explosive batch of emails released this week under freedom-of-information legislation in America.''

The main stream narrative has flipped and only a year too late.

MSM and Social Media oligarchs spent a whole year banning and deplatforming anyone, especially scientists, who questioned the fake virus bat origin story or the use of lockdowns or govt covid statistics.

 

''Ofcom has come under fire for labelling scepticism of official statistics as "misinformation" during the Covid crisis – and now we learn it has relied on biased "fact-checker" Full Fact to tell it what to suppress.''

The MHRA has cleared the use of the Pfizer vaccine for 12 - 15 year olds in the UK. The regulator says the benefits outweigh the risks but haven't said how they worked that out. It's important as the risks from covid for that age group are miniscule.

I just wanted to contribute to this research thread by saying that many YouTubers are claiming to have metallic components injected into their bodies through Covid vaccines. They prove the claim by using magnets on their bodies. Those magnets stick to their skins as a result of being vaccinated. Please bring a magnet to your second vaccination shot as a countermeasure. 

I hope that I am up to the level of this thread with my post. 

Fauci is responsible for it as well.

meanwhile your whole 'CCP and Fauci are completely innocent' BS is totally blown out of the water, nothing to say on that then? And your support for lockdowns and masks and SD-ing proved wrong.

Lockdowns Kill - the data for the US using Sweden as the control.

Lockdowns do not control the spread of a virus.

''164,000 Americans killed by lockdowns in 2020. To put that in perspective, the toll to the USA has been roughly that of the entire Vietnam War. Once the toll across the world is counted for 2020-21, including poorer countries, the toll will likely be close to that of World War I.'' Michael P Senger @MichaelPSenger

Fauci: “A lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science.”

Got that now? Just like the ancient pharaohs made the sun rise, Anthony Fauci is "the science''.

Fauci routinely lied and admitted some decisions were political and not based on science at all. 

Fauci also admitted he purposely issued inaccurate claims about herd immunity for political reasons.

UK following the US in rewriting the rules for testing and counting the Chinese virus.

Before vaccines every thing possible was done to inflate the numbers, post vaccine rollout now new rules to deflate the numbers.

Matt Ridley  @mattwridley: ''I was misled by Prof Neil Ferguson at a select committee hearing.''

'Researchers at Uppsala University adapted the ICL model and on 30 April estimated that, without mitigation, Sweden’s Covid deaths would hit 96,000 by the end of May. The actual number on 1 June was just 4,403. Questioned about the disparity by Matt Ridley in the House of Lords on 2 June, Ferguson insisted: ‘they did not use our model, they didn’t adapt our model’ and ‘We had no role in parameterising it’. ICL itself tweeted sniffily on 6 May, ‘Professor Ferguson and the Imperial Covid-19 response team never estimated 40,000 or 100,000 Swedish deaths’. 

In fact ICL did and the Excel spreadsheet they produced showing just that is still up on the internet for all to see.

Have to say Casey, your contributions on the on going Covid story (monumental ballsup) have been a tonic.

Was sceptical for sometime but am more sympathetic to your premise regarding the pandemic and the reaction to it. Vaccines are such good PR, it is a shame that the general population are being used as guinea pigs for DNA altering drugs with as yet unknown and potentially damaging long-term consequences and side effects. Doubly bazarre,the governments of the planet are prepared to take the risk in the name of exigency. AZ is particularly dirty and incomplete, if not down right dangerous as to be considered a lethal weapon to some of the unfortunates unlucky enough to experience the more unpleasant side effects of being injected with it. Such is political expediency and exigency at the altar of public health. Forgive the unPC comments, but they are borne from experience, as my wife has had long-term reactions to the "cure". Most folk don't want to hear anything but the popular narrative, even if it vere's heartily away from some inconvenient truths. So thank you Casey keep up the good work, it's appreciated.

Thank you.

The whole episode has been disastrous from the start and there looks to be no let up as Johnson is expected tonight to announce a 4 week lockdown extension again using false models and bad science as 'reasons'.

Very sorry to hear of your wife's vax complications, twitter is awash with similar stories but MSM ignores it all. The AZ seems particularly worrisome, the US won't use it at all (they donated their tranche to the 3rd world) but nearly all in the UK get it. Most of whom will already have had contact with covid and have natural immunity anyway.

As in the Russel Brand video, MSM does not have the right to just dismiss anything they don't like the sound of as 'conspiracy theories' and completely ignore them.

Eminent scientists being de-platformed, astronomical NHS waiting lists, undiagnosed life threatening illnesses flooding A+E, complete loss of faith in major institutions (WHO, FDA, CDC, NHS, etc.), 37% fewer small businesses in the US. The damage being done is appalling and there is no end in sight.

I remember the BBC reporting in  front of world trade building 7 saying it had collapsed when it was clearly still standing and then hours later it "suddenly" collapsed - Sept 11th 2001

David Icke did a great publication on that "terrorist attack" which lead to UK/USA forces invading Iraq and afghanistan, along with implementing onerous checks at all airports since - 20 years later we still haven't had another plane hijacked and crashed into anything, probably because if it had it would prove that aviation fuel can't melt steel structural joists, or bring a building down in a vertical fashion as per a controlled explosion

I'm yet to be convinced on Covid, but it absolutely fits in with the totalitarian tiptoe Icke says is happening and fits in being an absolute valid reason to vaccinate the entire globe

Folk will continue to believe what they want to believe. A nice, friendly, wholesome narrative is preferable to one which questions whether the whole thing has been a major error of judgement. Emperor and new clothes scenario.  Yes my wife is not the only one having trouble with AZ, thousands of others are (check out twitter and FB (though FB groups regarding vaccine and side effects are being shut down regularly, as freedom of speech is great as long as it's not controversial or contradictory to the prevailing govt narrative). However, we are being labelled conspiracy theorists for questioning the validity of the presented evidence re AZ and even Covid. Which is news to us. We are just a normal family doing our best to get by. Noone wants to hear any "bad" news, even if it has merit. So by extension, being rational has translated into being irrational. Many folk are sleepwalking hoping this dream will end, not seeing the wood for the trees, instead of being awake (not woke, but awake) and affecting change through observation and exchange of information. But observation is a rare commodity and fear discourages free exchange of information.

"Every established respiratory pandemic of the last 130 years has caused seasonal waves of infection and has culminated in viral endemicity. Despite this robust observation, initial models of COVID-19 excluded this possibility".

''Bear in mind that in the heat of this pandemic, papers printed in important journals were peer-reviewed within 10 weeks; one rattled through the process in just nine days for Nature. But, like Petrovsky, I have heard similar stories from many other frustrated experts who confronted the conventional wisdom that this lethal virus was a natural spillover event. Some could not even get letters published, let alone challenge those key papers promoting the Chinese perspective which have since turned out to be flawed or wrong.''

''Only now is acceptance emerging that the science establishment colluded to dismiss the lab leak hypothesis as a conspiracy theory, assisted by prominent experts with clear conflicts of interest, patsy politicians and a pathetic media that mostly failed to do its job. And yet, at the heart of this scandal lie some of the world’s most influential science journals.''

    • In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, the last 24 hours have been nothing short of eventful. From Bitcoin's price momentum to Ethereum's market capitalization, here's a breakdown of the top news: Bitcoin's Price Momentum and Market Cap: Despite recent turbulence, BTC price continues to command attention. With Spot ETF demand dwindling and investor sentiment wary of a post-halving crash, Bitcoin's price momentum remains a topic of debate. The global crypto market cap, standing at approximately $2.31 trillion, reflects this cautious sentiment. Litecoin's Performance: Litecoin (LTC) emerges with a promising monthly close, rallying over 22% since retesting its multi-year Macro Downtrend. Currently trading at $100.82, LTC's resilience is noteworthy amidst market fluctuations. Bitcoin Cash's Historic Moment: Bitcoin Cash (BCH) celebrates a significant milestone, closing above a multi-year downtrend for the first time since 2017. With the BCH halving event on the horizon, its recent 21% surge indicates growing investor interest. Ethereum's Market Capitalization: Ethereum remains a developer favorite, boasting a market capitalization of $385.5 billion and a remarkable year-over-year return of 73%. Its impressive price surge from $11 in April 2016 to $3,158 by April 2024 underscores its enduring appeal. Global Cryptocurrency Market Cap: The global crypto market cap witnessed a slight uptick, reaching around $2.64 trillion. Bitcoin's dominance, currently at 53.27%, reflects its continued influence despite recent challenges. As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, staying informed is key to navigating the market's complexities.

    • The FTSE 100 eclipses its all-time high with a 3.1% gain amid UK growth optimism and inflation ease, while the DAX ends its losing streak with a 2.30% rise, ahead of crucial Eurozone data.   Source: Getty   Indices Inflation Recession Interest rate European Central Bank Eurozone Written by: Tony Sycamore | Market Analyst, Australia   Publication date: Tuesday 30 April 2024 06:19 The FTSE made a significant move last week, surging above its all-time 8047 high, and locking in a healthy 3.1% gain for the week. At the same time, the DAX snapped its three-week losing streak to finish the week 2.30% higher. The trigger for the FTSE's burst higher last week was additional signs that the UK growth profile is improving. This is a key factor to watch, as it could potentially influence the FTSE's performance in the coming weeks. Last week's flash PMI came in at 54, beating the 53 expected. At the same time, a softening inflation profile is opening the door for the Bank of England (BoE) to cut interest rate. Finally, after trading sideways for the better part of fourteen months, its valuations are attractive compared to its offshore counterparts. While the German stock market doesn't screen as particularly cheap, it has benefited from improving growth and inflation profiles. Both factors will be scrutinised tonight when Q1 GDP and inflation data for April are released. What is expected from EZ Q1 2024 GDP? Date: Tuesday, 30 April 7pm AEST In the last quarter of 2023 (Q4), the Eurozone unexpectedly avoided recession as firmer growth in Italy and Spain offset contraction in Germany, resulting in a growth rate of 0% following a 0.1% contraction in the third quarter. Anaemic growth in the Eurozone during the second half of 2023 was due to elevated interest rates, high inflation, a slowing global economy and heightened geopolitical tensions. In recent months, the European Central Bank (ECB) has acknowledged that inflation is on the right path to converge on its target and has signalled that it is expecting to ease monetary policy as early as June. The market anticipates imminent ECB interest rate cuts, which, coupled with a resilient global economy, has significantly improved the outlook of business surveys and PMIs in the Eurozone. This improvement will likely be reflected in tonight's GDP release, with the market forecasting a rise of 0.2% QoQ. Euro area GDP annual growth rate chart   Source: TradingEconomics Inflation outlook Date: Tuesday, 30 April at 7pm AEST In March, headline CPI fell to 2.4% YoY in March from 2.6% in February. The Core rate cooled to 2.9%, its lowest rate since February 2022. This month (April), the consensus is for headline inflation to fall to 2.4% YoY in April, with core dropping to 2.6% from 2.9% prior. DAX technical analysis In our last update, we noted that a "short covering rally from here would not surprise", which would be viewed as the second wave (or Wave B) of a three-wave ABC correction from the 18,567 high. This remains the case, with the rally from the 17,626 low viewed as Wave B, which should not exceed resistance in the 18,400/550 area and be followed by another leg lower (Wave C) towards the 17,500/300 support zone. We will be looking closely for signs of basing in this area to establish longs. DAX daily chart   Source: TradingView FTSE technical analysis We have maintained a bullish stance in the FTSE since it broke above downtrend resistance in mid-March, coming from the February 2023, 8047 high. Last week, we noted that while "the FTSE holds above support at 7760ish, expect a break of the all-time high at 8047 before a push towards 8250." Providing the FTSE remains above support at 8,000 we continue to look for a test of 8250, with scope to 8400. Aware that should the FTSE lose support at 8,000 on a sustained basis, it would warn that a deeper pullback is underway initially to 7800. FTSE daily chart   Source: TradingView Source Tradingview.
