Basically the Executive Board of the WHO chooses the WHO director (by secret ballot). There are 34 members on the board. Guess who sits on the executive board for the United Kingdom?

They are framing this into anti-vaxx vs pro-vaxx, but this is a false duality. The real issue is informed consent & preventing any government or corporation the right to limit the public & work lives of those who do not consent to being injected with any vaccine.
THE SCIENCE ON LOCKDOWNS: "Stringency of the measures settled to fight pandemia, including lockdown, did not appear to be linked with death rate."

DANMASK: Unlike other studies looking at masks, Danmask was a randomised controlled trial – the highest quality scientific evidence. It revealed a minimal statistical difference between those who wore masks & those who did not in terms of COVID19 infection

"None of the trials ... are designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospital admissions, use of intensive care, or deaths. Nor are the vaccines being studied to determine whether they can interrupt transmission of the virus."

Will covid-19 vaccines save lives? Current trials aren’t designed to tell us
The world has bet the farm on vaccines as the solution to the pandemic, but the trials are not focused on answering the questions many might assume they are. Peter Doshi reports

Protesting works. Protesters win this first battle in France. The key to this is to be focused about what one is protesting against. Not generic but specific on the laws or decrees that one is protesting against. Like was done in the UK against the poll tax for example.

Macron pulls plug on controversial legislation on sharing images identifying police officers
The decision came as four French police officers were charged with beating and racially insulting a black music producer
What the protesters in the UK last week-end have achieved is also huge. Images and videos of police brutality in the UK were shared globally. This is terrible for the reputation of any government. So as a result, they have changed the law so that the police need not intervene in any new protest. They can just watch in theory at least. Protesting is now not against the law under the new UK Health Protection Coronavirus, Restrictions Regulations 2020.
THE REAL REASON THEY ARE BANNING ALCOHOL? "Mouthwashes eradicate COVID-19 infectivity - mouthwashes containing less than 23% ethanol [ALCOHOL] had no effect on viral infectivity"

A team from University of Cardiff has sought to determine if destroying the lipid envelope of COVID-19 would inactive the virus
In the UK they are banning alcohol without a substantial meal & closing pubs one hour earlier. With meals people tend to consume drinks with a lower % alcohol than the 23% required to kill Covid19. It really all makes sense now. Whitty & Vallance know the science well.
