The science was not clear in March but it is now being cited like something infallible. But journalists are not questioning why ‘Professor Lockdown’ (as The Times calls Professor Neil Ferguson) is still involved in supplying it. Last year, Ferguson lost his status as a government adviser, temporarily, after he broke his own lockdown rules to visit his lover. But the scandal that should have ruled him out of playing any role in policymaking – now or ever – is almost 20 years old.
In 2001, Ferguson’s models proved instrumental in the slaughter of more than six million cattle, sheep and pigs during an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. By 2003, this was estimated to have cost the UK ‘£3.1 billion to agriculture, including losses in export value, with similar losses to tourism and business of £2.7-3.2 billion’. In 2016, a Vet Times investigation concluded the cull
‘was based on a model that was crude and wrong… Wendy Vere, a West Country veterinarian, commented in the Devon Independent Inquiry: “It was carnage by computer.” Retrospective analysis showed the Imperial model was flawed. It is noteworthy that the report of the Royal Society’s inquiry, published after the outbreak, stated: “It is not satisfactory to rely on the development of models during an outbreak, or even to make other than minor modifications to existing research tools.”’
In 2009, Ferguson’s models ‘forecasted that 65,000 people in the UK could die of swine flu, which prompted the WHO’s issuing of a pandemic’. The eventual death toll was 457. His prediction for deaths from mad cow disease was 50,000, and the actual death toll… 177.

It is a journalist’s duty to question lockdown
Much of the press is all too happy to toe the government line.
The last two weeks have ushered in a wave of new domestic police powers and rhetoric in the name of fighting “terrorism” that are carbon copies of many of the worst excesses of the first War on Terror that began nearly twenty years ago.
We have witnessed an orgy of censorship from Silicon Valley monopolies
...
Underlying all of this are immediate insinuations that anyone questioning any of this must, by virtue of these doubts, harbor sympathy for the Terrorists and their neo-Nazi, white supremacist ideology.
...
features the amazing declaration from former Facebook security official Alex Stamos, talking to the very concerned CNN host Brian Stelter, about the need for social media companies to use the same tactics against U.S. citizens
...
Stamos noted the real problem: “there are people on YouTube, for example, that have a larger audience than people on daytime CNN” — and it’s time for CNN and other mainstream outlets to seize the monopoly on information dissemination to which they are divinely entitled by taking away the platforms of those whom people actually want to watch and listen to
...
Media and political elites have placed as many Americans as they can — and it is a lot — into full-blown fear and panic mode, and when that happens, people are willing to acquiesce to anything claimed necessary to stop that threat, as the first War on Terror, still going strong twenty years later, decisively proved.

The New Domestic War on Terror is Coming
No speculation is needed. Those who wield power are demanding it. The only question is how much opposition they will encounter.

"Healthy people cannot transmit a virus to someone else" - Dr John Denis 22/1/21 https://brandnewtube.com/watch/wda-experts-speak-out-asymptomatic-spread-dr-johan-denis-22-1-21_ch3XkpJFqst9qro.html
Now that the UK has introduced the requirement for all inbound travellers to show evidence of a negative PCR test, travellers now have to group together for extended periods of time to present this great burden of proof to the state to demonstrate that they are healthy individuals and with it, worthy of onward travel.
LinkedIn have not told me what the misinformation was. Nor obviously given a chance to appeal it. It's basically I'm a persona non grata on a platform I spent 16 years building curated 18.5 B2B contacts critical for my business. Persona non grata for essentially have the "wrong" thoughts and sharing the "wrong" narrative.

CORBETT ON "WHEN WILL THE SCANDEMIC END?" AND "ACTS OF RESISTANCE"
Media is too big

Corbett speculates that the next "PsyOp" will be that the PCR test threshold is reduced thereby giving the appearance that the vaccine was very effective.
I think he's most likely to be correct that the PCR shenanigans used to inflate the "cases" and "deaths" will be dialed down soon.
I suspect though that for Americans, there will also be months of a show to portray Joe Biden as "scientifically" taking "control of a virus" and winning the "war". During this time there will be 100 days of national costume dress to scare away Rona.
Whilst the performance theatre plays out, on the back end accounting systems will be changed. A SARS-CoV-2 PCR positive will no longer automatically equal a COVID-19 case, instead cases will need to meet normal disease diagnostic criteria e.g. present with clinical symptoms etc. And the PCR Ct will be reduced down to <=35.

Couple viral videos from China... Once you accept having to prove "health" for a basic civil liberty (e.g. onward travel), the "proving" will become more frequent, more widespread, and the definition of "health" will only keep expanding (e.g. mental health). Mark my words: it' enabling a technocracy. Tech giants, Big Pharma & unelected global institutions will. It will extend beyond travel, to even monetary access (eventually). You won't even be able to question it, as such speech will be censored on the big tech platforms; in fact for even the attempt of such speech, further civil liberties will be cut as a punishment.
https://dryburgh.com/catherine-fitts-blockchain-financial-reset/ - old post - but let me add why I bother. The political reaction does not match the virus in question. It's disproportiate to say the least. The result is one starts looking at fringes/conspiracies for an attempt at answers.
