“Coronavirus was recorded as the main cause of death for 22,454 people in 2022, or 3.9% of all deaths registered, making it the sixth leading cause overall, the Mail reports.”
There is no mention of iatrogenesis in the Mail article about leading causes of death. According to this BMJ article in 2016, the third leading cause of death in the USA was medical errors.
And according to this article in the Independent in 2018:
“The NHS makes hundreds of millions of prescribing errors and mix-ups which contribute to as many as 22,300 deaths a year, according to a major report commissioned by the Government.”
I see that I forgot to posts links to the two articles I referred to. I was literally falling asleep when I wrote that post! It could have been worse! Here are the two links:

Not sure if this has already been shared but I’ll plonk it here anyways as it’s Prof Fenton giving his best estimate of how many deaths are due to the death jabs; ”With a minimal set of conservative and reasonable assumptions we estimate that, since the end of Dec 2020 approximately 16,000 people in the UK have died directly from covid vaccines, while in the USA the figure is approximately 120,000. An interesting validity check is that the US population is five times that of the UK. Taking account of the later date of the USA figures and the fact that the under-reporting is likely to be lower in the USA, the mortality rate is reasonably consistent between the two countries. With respect to the additional number of those who may have died indirectly following serious adverse reactions, we have estimated 35,000 in the UK and 70,000 in the USA. This larger number (relative to population size) for the UK may be partly due to the widespread use of the especially problematic Astra Zeneca vaccine in the first half of 2021. While Astra Zeneca has effectively been discarded worldwide the roll-out of yet more boosters of the other vaccines continues… Read more »
Well despite the good things that resulted from Elon Musk taking over Twitter, just the fact he is a product of the WEF YGL programme and is pro-transhumanism told me all I need to know and that he shouldn’t be trusted. 2nd Smartest Guy really calling him out here; ”Musk also happens to be a WEF young global leaders class of 2008 alumni.Though he never created PayPal or Tesla or Space-X or Neuralink or any other company, Musk was embedded into all of his ventures by the Deep State, and as such he will be the face that helps push out the CBDC. The Musk mythos is predicated on preying on the human desires for technological progress, adventure, exploration and innovation. It is all a ruse and a Psyop; in fact, let’s call this technocratic puppet what he really is: PSYOP-MUSK. PSYOP-MUSK and his X “Everything App” is the social credit score system setup. The X “Everything App” will be the hip and cool way that the CBDC will be sold to all of the mindless minions that may not trust the State, but believe that Musk is what the Mockingbird MSM tells them that he is. You are now being primed for the X… Read more »
Never trusted Musk much as people called him the saviour of Twitter and applauded how he labelled various news sites, such as the BBC, ‘government-funded’. He’s clearly a clever guy but there is a lot of murk about him too. His Space-X satellite launching and Neuralink plans show that he’s an advocate and promoter of technologies that could be used to create a control grid. I didn’t know about the Everything App but it fits. Everything he does is big and bombastic and his fan base like his ‘anything can be done’ approach, his apparent humbleness and ‘down with the kids’ and ‘I’m one of you’ style wins over the unthinking hipsters. I guess in these times we live in, people are looking for powerful saviours – the second coming and all that – whereas, in my view, the second coming is about awakening to the Christ consciousness, not Christianity or seeking religion, within oneself and being your own saviour!
This is the man who writes the Substack….
Rick G. Rosner
@dumbassgenius
Have gotten Covid vaxxed five times. And 100 times over my lifetime for other stuff.
(I’m smarter than you.)
I have seen and read several things about Rosner..and I think he sounds like a nutter..a clever nutter..but still…
I’m not saying he’s not right about Elon, but as the Democrats despise Elon and Rosner is a rabid anti-rebublican…just saying..

I missed this but here is Iain Davis’ take on Oakshott and the Lockdown files.
As Iain puts it:
“In summary: the Lockdown Files narrative is propoganda.”
I cannot disagree.
“As yet, not a single laboratory anywhere in the world has produced a physically isolated sample of the alleged SARS–CoV–2 virus. There is no physical evidence that SARS–CoV–2 exists, and the alleged “science” of virology, the whole basis for the pandemic mythos, appears to be highly questionable.
Covid–19 symptoms were indistinguishable from other influenza-like illnesses. The only way to allegedly identify Covid–19 was with the use of tests that were specifically “non-diagnostic”. Positive tests were misleadingly called “cases”, despite there being no symptoms to evidence the presence of any disease in test subjects, let alone Covid–19.”
Jessica Rose cross posted this excellent substack read about a skeptic attending a vaccine industry conference in US. A great read about the weird state of denial / sociopathy / enchantment in which these people find themselves. There is hope here in that some of the attendees were listening to the brave interjections by the two interlopers.
There’s even a few appearances by our very own Dame Harries of UKSHA.
Bunker mentality is on full display here. Behavioural Goebbelsian psychology is shoring up the whole tottering structure.
Excellent article here.
LOL I posted this yesterday. It was in The Defender.
Belt and braces?
….and that group think leads to this, doesn’t it?
Clare Craig (not one of her impersonators)
@ClareCraigPath
Remember the Pfizer drug for under 4s trial?
There was no benefit after 2 doses so they redesigned the trial to give a 3rd dose.
Now, JCVI decide to recommend only 2 doses “based on first principles” when evidence showed it did not work.
This is truly a stunner and must read!
It had me gasp in disbelief and despair several times while reading it.
It reminds me of the original Spartacus letter one and effect and deserves a separate entry ATL here.
So is and does his piece on climate change/CO2.

Many thanks for sharing.
An excellent sub read. Thanks.
Hoping this is true and that it costs them even more…..

@MattWalshBlog
The Dylan Mulvaney endorsement cost Anheuser Busch four billion dollars so far. That’s because we spoke out loudly and made them pay the price. Some conservatives say we should have ignored this issue. Would it have been better if Bud Light paid no price at all? Is that what they’d prefer?
Brilliant and funny…from the comedian Alistair Williams…
“EMERGENCY” ALERT PSY OP
https://rumble.com/v2g0d4k-emergency-alert-psy-op.html
Alistair Williams is NOT funny. I have said what he says more than once on here but never have I been complimented thus:
“Hey hux, that’s funny, why aren’t you on stage?”
He’s a long way from the genius of Bernard Manning.
Aww, Hux I think you are really funny…..maybe it’s just because he gets to say a lot, and all at once. I know I’m not the only one who appreciates your little bon mots…as the actress said to the Bishop!! LOL!
Thanks ebg.😀

This is what we are up against. Karen Harradine with part two of her four part series. Here she is taking the knife to the evil Schwab and a cutting take down of Charlie Windsor.

The covid “vaccines” are taking a heavy toll on zoo animals too.
https://markcrispinmiller.substack.com/p/lions-and-tigers-and-bears-and-many
What a thoroughly depressing catalogue of animal slaughter. Their keepers should forever hang their heads in shame. What were they thinking? Were they even thinking? Absolutely criminal.
They will have trusted the ‘experts’ & the vets blindly followed orders.
“Andrew Sullivan warns of the “creeping illiberalism of the anti-woke right”.
in other words, the other side is fighting back and using our tactics – it’s not fair!
”In general, it’s a very good rule to ignore anyone who says there is no middle way on a contentious question.”
Because as Neville Chamberlain found out, the middle way worked so well.
When those who wish to destroy us are not rational, know no reason or logic, accept no compromise, and will use agression and violence to succeed, only total warfare and their annihilation will do.
Spot on.
