How can Bourla just simply decide not to show up to this EU meeting? Is this what marks out where the real power lies?
Hoping one day he will testify in an orange jump suit.
He’s probably “pulling a sickie”. He does, after all, appear to be addicted to jabs.
Or, like most of his sort of pettifogger, he’s a coward…
“he’s a coward…” and a liar.
Four jabs? Yeah right.
Yes, I thought they had no option but to attend, as if they had been subpoenaed. It’s not like a dentist appointment, is it? Just goes to show the supreme arrogance and derision by which they view official attempts to get at the truth. I think orange would suit Borla very well…
Big pharma want to be recognised as states like Billy boy?
That’s excellent news from Sweden. How many countries is that now? In the NL anyone 12yrs and over can get jabbed. I see Pfizer are seeking approval from the EMA for their ‘mouse data that didn’t even protect the mice’ useless 10mcg dose jab to use on kids 5 – 11yrs old. I’m fully expecting it to get approval. We know how this predictable crap works now. But now it’s up to the individual countries to take a stand, and if more continue to do so I hope this results in a ripple effect throughout the world. But going by the data it would seem very few parents are getting their kids jabbed anyway. Mind you, my 10yr old does have a few friends who have been injected. 🙁
With regard to the Spiked article about Germany, this is the latest example of politicians ignoring their own rules in Germany.
A delegation of FDP politicians taking a bus to a campaign in another state.
They should all wear FFP2, or as they are now widely called in Germany FDP2, masks during the whole ride.
And the MSM ignores that ignorance, of course, let alone their stupidity, provocation or hypocrisy.
Then everyone who isn’t a masktard in Germany should refuse to wear one and carry a copy of this in their wallet to whip out if they get stopped as a perfect reason why they’ve sensibly gone ‘face commando’. I would refuse to be ‘othered’ and have my intelligence insulted, and fook the consequences. This charade and blatant piss-take has gone on way too long and if the mountain of contradictory science doesn’t cut it then mass non-compliance will have to be relied upon to do the trick.
The current list of flights on which you still have to wear a mask.
A brilliant display if not the very definition of absurdity.
The virus’ danger differs not just from country to country, but from whether you fly to or from one and, of course, it presents a completely different danger, sometimes high sometimes none, in the respective terminals.
https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/information/incident/coronavirus/steps-123
I handy list of countries to be avoided. I assume the list of countries that don’t require face masks is now much longer.
I think the BA policy is to just ape whatever the policy is in the countries they fly to. I suppose it gets them out of having to make any kind of decision on the matter themselves. I was on a BA flight recently and very encouraged to note that none of the staff were wearing masks, and very very few passengers. There was one lady who went the whole 11 hour flight maskless but then put on one in the terminal building at our destination (and no, masks were not required there either).
LOL!….although in reality it’s not the least bit funny, as millions are being spent on this craziness!
https://petersweden.substack.com/p/electric-ferry
The Ika Rere, a brand new vessel and the first electric powered ferry in the southern hemisphere just had to be rescued after running out of battery in the harbor, leaving the vessel stranded without any power!
Luckily help was on the way, with a fossil fuel powered police boat coming to rescue the stranded passengers.
After successfully rescuing the passengers, the police boat went back out to tug the electric ferry back to port.
Very interesting 45min presentation by Dr Meryl Nass, MD on the boosters. She mentions the fact the average US life expectancy has dropped by 3 years in the last 2 years, and is now what it was in the 1960. She also covers data which show that at 8 months ALL age groups that have had 2 or 3 shots have negative effectiveness, meaning the jabbed are more susceptible to contracting Covid than the unjabbed, all ages of kids 5 – 17yrs show an increase in adverse effects, inc myocarditis, after their 1st booster and that the rate of spontaneous abortions in 2020 reported in VAERS for ALL vaccines was 27 but in 2021 that number jumped to 2,471 for the Covid injections alone.

‘“The Regret, Repentance, and Redemption of Dr. Aseem Malhotra” – Daniel Klein writes for Brownstone that an honest change of mind is naturally inspiring.’. Let’s be clear here, this guy is only on our side because his Dad died from the ‘vaccine’. If it wasn’t for that he would be one of the very loud voices telling us all we are Anti-vax idiots. These turncoats should be treated with disdain, not respect. These are the very same people that clapped when democracy was thrown in the bin; the very same people that made us pariah’s. I will never forget, I will never forgive.
Disagree and I find your attitude very black and white. I don’t care what the circumstances are which result in a person having the scales fall from their eyes, I think that’s irrelevant. The fact is that the guy wrote a 10,000 word paper, so has obviously done a hell of a lot of research to get to this place of enlightenment, where he is a huge asset because he carries a lot of clout due to his reputation and credentials. He was already very outspoken on various other health-related matters and so is a very important and influential person to have in our corner in advocating for the cessation of these dangerous injections. People are allowed to change their minds you know, and so much time has elapsed since the Jan 2021 roll-out that I’m hoping Dr Malhotra may just influence others to speak out because I’m sure many others have done a full 180 U-turn too, they just don’t have the courage to speak out like he has. I would agree with you if it were people such as that vile slug Jeremy Vine, and others of his ilk, who went out of their way to spread misinformation… Read more »
I agree with you, but I also agree with FreeL on that particular point, that sadly he only woke up because of the personal impact and that otherwise, he would have at least continued to create damage.
In short, as per Daniel Klein’s description, his laudable and indeed serious, helpful and constructive repenting process is not completed, above all for himself, until he realizes and addresses this flaw too, let alone is his redemption.
I’m not even convinced that he would be still going along with it because, as a cardiologist, wouldn’t he himself have been aware for some time of the increase in young people especially ( inc data reported from other countries and from international colleagues ) presenting with myocarditis, for example? What I would very much have liked to ask him, had I been at that World Council for Health press conference where he did his presentation, is how come he didn’t smell a rat early on when there was the suppression put on doctors to use ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine? And not just nationally but this obviously happened the world over with the unprecedented threat of doctors losing their license or even doing jail time in some countries. This should have gotten any intelligent person to do some digging. So why on earth that fact alone didn’t sound alarm bells to any medical doctor is beyond me, given the decades worth of safety ( even in pregnancy ) of those drugs Vs a piddly couple of months of inadequate data from a rushed trial with an under-tested novel pseudo-vaccine. As far as people who were very pro-Covid jab coming to their… Read more »
How could he not have known, when the jabbing started, that:
1) The virus posed a trivial threat to most people;
2) The gunks couldn’t possibly have been properly tested, because there hadn’t been enough time; and
3) Big Pharma are crooks who put profit above health?
I would always give someone who does an about-turn on a strongly held opinion the benefit of the doubt. There are many who have fervently believed in the establishment narrative concerning the vaccines, who have witnessed or experienced injuries and even deaths in their families following vaccination and have written it off to a one-off unfortunate reaction to an otherwise good product – hence their attitude toward vaccines won’t budge no matter what harms become apparent.
This man was different. The death of his father was a trigger event that opened his eyes to emerging research that sheds light on the harmful side effects of these products (or old research that was ignored by the news media).
He woke up to the fact that principally what is happening is the aggressive marketing of a product, which I’m sure he is ashamed to have been a part of in the early days of the pandemic.
Nothing is black and white, I’m merely pointing out uncomfortable truths. This guy should not be your hero just because he now stands by your side. Let me ask you this: at what point does the colour of your coat change? You say about Vine, but, based on your logic, if he now did his research and became a vocal and prominent campaigner for stopping the vaccine rollout then he would also be you hero would he not? If not, why? What makes a turncoat not a turncoat? Remember, it was Malhotra’s job to do his research before supporting ‘vaccines’. He failed to do that. In that respect he is worse than Vine. You have failed to understand that it’s these very people – people that failed to do their job in the first place – that have propped up the malevolent campaign that saw us stigmatised. You are applauding your own torturer.
I never said he’s my hero but his allegiance is no doubt an advantage for us. I’ve always said I have the utmost respect for somebody who actively comes out and says he was wrong and states why. Yes, I absolutely have questions I’d love to ask Dr Malhotra about his very naive attitude early on. And it most certainly was naive and reckless. He was in a position to know more about the trial data and cardiovascular health outcomes than any layperson but on he went in his promotion of the jabs. So I would like to scrutinize his adherence to the narrative at the beginning of the roll-out. No I would never forgive Vine, Piers Morgan, Edwina Curry, Blair et al obviously. They are actively spreading hate and have done untold damage during the last 2.5 years so no amount of repentance can undo what they have done. It really isn’t as easy as ”forgive and forget”. People should be held accountable and heads must roll. I think to vilify somebody who has obviously gone out of their way in trying to make considerable effort towards righting what they must surely see as the wrong they have done,… Read more »
Address your tone – it’s extremely combative; I’ve noticed many of your posts are. You can disagree without being so confrontational you know? Yes, that was deliberate.
I never said he wasn’t going to be useful in this fight, I’m saying he shouldn’t be applauded.
You’re right though, so it’s not the insult you thought it was, I AM bitter and unforgiving. I would string the lot up for what they have done to society and, in particular, children. I’m an eye for eye guy, not a turn the other cheek – too much of that has been done.
“Address your tone – it’s extremely combative.” 😆 Then I suggest you and RW form a tag team and go find some cajones. If you’re having trouble contending with words on a screen or are intimidated by the posts of a forthright woman sharing her opinion then it says a great deal about your own personality and insecurities, no?🤔
Oh my life, you’re off down the usual, tried and tested tripe of strong woman rubbish. Yawn. A person of strong character doesn’t need to tell everyone that they’re a strong character – regardless of gender. It’s irrelevant and boring. We’re in 2022 not the 60s for heaven’s sake; put your victim card away, it has no place here.
Words on a screen, as you put it, is still communication that should be approached with a degree of politeness. I don’t expect you to understand… not because you’re a woman, but because you don’t seem to respect basic etiquette and appear to have pretty poor manners. Intimidated? Nope, just find many of your posts rude. If you’re having trouble considering other opinions I suggest you a) grow up b) pop over to the BBC. You often seem to deliberately sow division. A fox in the henhouse I suspect.
So tell me, Mr Big Alpha-male, where did I say “strong woman”? Therefore where do I state that I am a “strong character”?
Because you’re the one that has made this personal and escalated a basic exchange to another level due to your inability to debate like a reasonable person. You called me out as being “combative”, therefore prove it. Which part of my posts are combative? Provide support for your allegations that I ”don’t seem to respect basic etiquette and appear to have pretty poor manners”. If you find me ”rude” then you need to back up these assertions, don’t you think? Or are you being just a tad hormonal and have flipped out because it doesn’t sit well with you that a female is calling out your bullshit and making you accountable for it?
Showing your emotional intelligence well and truly there, FL, you need no further input from me, evidently. If I give you enough rope you’ve well and truly hung yourself! Too easy…
You know, I went to cut and paste all of your insults and ill-mannered replies, but then realised it would be pointless. I’m not going to continue this exchange, not because your a “forthright woman”, as you tell us all, but because you just seem to be a bit of an eejit. Perhaps I shouldn’t have lowered myself to your basement standards, but there you go. Anyway, as I said, grow up.
“Basement standards”?🤣 So I’m an “eejit” why? Oh yeah, I forgot, because I’ve committed the double whammy crime of opposing your opinion and being of the opposite sex. Let me go over here and contemplate my sins…🙄 If anybody needs to grow the fk up it’s you! But I’ll wait while you provide evidence for all of my alleged misdemeanors..😁
Seeing as you’re incapable of reading back your own posts, here you go. Every single one of your posts is either patronising, insulting, or both. You seem to think that it’s because you’re a woman that I find your posts rude. That says so much about you, I wouldn’t even know where to start. I don’t give a flying f*ck what sex you are, you excuse every rude interaction with the lame “it’s because I’m a woman” nonsense. You try to insult and bully then you hide behind your victim card; that makes your a coward. How the hell was I supposed to know you’re female before you started using it to try to shut down the conversation? Absolutely pathetic and incredibly weak. Your ilk, with your strawman arguments and emotionally charged behaviour, are the enemy of society. It’s you people that have got us to where we are right now – a broken society in which free speech is dead. Try dropping the female card and just discuss a point without resorting to insults. You really don’t like to be questioned do you? Or do you not understand the difference between being “forthright” and being rude? I won’t be… Read more »
I agree in general mogs…I have tons of family and friends who had the jab, and who initially believed. Some now bitterly regret it, and some are now proudly anti-vaccine (refusing boosters anyway!)…. I’m just happy they now get it.
I think it would be much easier to take your 30 pieces of silver and keep your head down, but he didn’t….he admitted he was wrong and has become a voice for reason. I don’t think anyone saying they were wrong and apologising should be particularly vilified..there but for the grace of God….
I agree with you FL despite being criticised on here for saying much the same when this story originally broke.
Where would Malhorta be now if his healthy father hadn’t been killed by the injections?
I’m not sure anyone is saying he’s a hero though he is certainly risking his career now
I would agree that repentance is not complete until he recognises he should have done this to start with – but who knows he may already recognise that
I think it’s hard to argue against the assertion that he’s an asset to our cause
Spot on. There are very few blue bloods in this regard among scientists and doctors. Only Yeadon, Bhakdi and Wodarg come to my mind among these experts and a few celebrities like Kyle Irving, Novak&co.
The latter and us were total laymen but did their own research, in particular risk/benefit analysis and plausibility checks, and that the experts and decision makers didn’t do this is what really was and is so crazy and criminal.
Even current heroes like Malone and Kirsch only started to question things after they got the injections and then personally suffered from side effects, so they are comparable to Malhotra in that regard.
Same for celebrities like Clapton and ever more millions of normal people.
But the degree of responsibility, need for repentence and chance of redemption and forgiveness correlates to ones expertise and profile in society- at least among those that are not part of the irredeemable anyway ones, who spread, let alone those that continue to spread, hatred and who facilitated and collaborated in any coercion and discrimination in connection with the gene therapies.
“UN official at WEF: ‘We own the science and we think that the world should know it’ so ‘we partnered with Google’ to ensure only UN climate results appear”
I love this kind of thing and wish it got more mainstream coverage – as these evil loons get more powerful they also get careless and talk quite openly about how they are manipulating people.
“What If They Threw a Pandemic & Nobody Came?”
This is a cracking short read.
“We own the science…” : While it may be true that the WEF are forming partnerships to control narratives, it just so happens that the top 2 results of a search for “climate change” are the same no matter what search engine you use; Entering this into Google, Ecosia and Yandex, you get results from http://www.un.org, followed by the NASA website in all three cases. However, Google uniquely has the most UN-based results by a long margin.
We need to stop using the word “Google” as verb!

A propos of differing outcomes and cause and effect, I’m in the Dominican Republic at the moment which I expect all of wil know shares a physical island with Haiti. Per capita GDP in the DR is TEN TIMES that of Haiti and I don’t think that’s because DR is sitting on vastly more natural resources or fertile soil
Both countries have similar colonial pasts. So one wonders why the difference is so vast.
Regarding Germany, it’s not still in the shadow of Covid but of public health totalitarianism

And they have the documents to prove it. Now this clearly doesn’t mean that thousands of elderly people were killed intentionally but the evidence does suggest that the likes of Midazolam Matt and his buddies should be facing court proceedings.
I see those tossers at the Standard and that prat Spector are at it again:
UK ‘blind’ to devastating wave of new Covid variants, experts warn | Evening Standard
Experts, devastating, lol….
“He also warned that Government guidelines about symptoms are “wrong”.
“Many people are still using the government guidelines about symptoms which are wrong. At the moment, Covid starts in two-thirds of people with a sore throat. Fever and loss of smell are really rare now – so many old people may not think they’ve got Covid,” he said.
Professor Spector said that means infected people would believe they had a cold and would not get tested.”
Of course his answer to this terrible prospect probably involves giving him more funds and prestige (well, he probably thinks it’s prestige…). Of course there’s no way that someone like him would just be thinking of ££££s and his legacy, because people like him and all the other public health fascists are saints who want to save us.
If infected people have cold symptoms, it is not COVID it is a cold. A wave of people with a cold cannot be ‘devastating’ as you point out.
