This is primarily a matter of trust – and the lack of it.
If it looks like a conspiracy, and quacks like a conspiracy … or, to change focus slightly to Covid. If it looks like 1984, and quacks like 1984 – it’s probably 1984. What happened with Covid I found extraordinary and scary. Within a very short time, longstanding individual rights and freedoms which people fought and died for, over hundreds of years, had gone.
At the very start of the pandemic, I remember driving to work along deserted roads with no traffic at all. Which was actually rather nice. At one point, the only vehicles I recall seeing were police cars with policemen in the front, brooding, watching. Not quite the thought police, but you know, scary.
I was never pulled over. Perhaps they checked my registration plate, looked up owner details, and found out that I was Dr Malcolm Kendrick, tootling about to save patients. Perhaps not, I have no idea, I never stopped to ask.
As a natural born rebel, I decided I would go out walking in the nearby countryside – when we were not allowed to. I was uncomfortably aware of being observed as I walked past farms in the Peak District, net curtains twitching? Maybe that was just my fevered imagination. Car parks in the middle of nowhere were closed off using “- Police Do Not Enter” tape. The type they use for crime scenes.
My local golf club was closed. No-one could play. You could walk across the golf course with friends and family, as many did, but swinging a golf club obviously stirred up the atmosphere, attracting the Covid virus towards you. Like midges in Scotland, or something.
Then there were the fact checkers who sprang up out of nowhere. These titans who we suddenly found walking among us, bestriding the world like intellectual colossus(es)/colossi knowing that they, and only they, could determine what constitutes a fact.
They regularly stomped on anyone who dared raised their head above the parapet. Suggest, for example, that Ivermectin may actually have some benefit in Sars-Cov2, and watch the empurpled rage descend, along with the mockery.
‘Ahead of full US authorisation of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine, the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had a simple message for Americans contemplating using ivermectin, a medicine used to deworm livestock, instead of getting a Covid shot.
“You are not a horse,” it said. “You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/aug/23/fda-horse-message-ivermectin-covid-coronavirus
Well, thanks for the explanation that humans are not horses, or cows, with all the implied mockery that the public are so easily led and plain stupid. You know, many of us had been looking at the anti-viral properties of Ivermectin for a long time. When Sars-Cov2 came along it appeared promising – even in people, who are not cows. Who knew.
The FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro
‘We report here that Ivermectin, an FDA-approved anti-parasitic previously shown to have broad-spectrum anti-viral activity in vitro, is an inhibitor of the causative virus (SARS-CoV-2), with a single addition to Vero-hSLAM cells 2 h post infection with SARS-CoV-2 able to effect ~5000-fold reduction in viral RNA at 48 h. Ivermectin therefore warrants further investigation for possible benefits in humans.’ The FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro – PubMed
Those of us, who actually look at research, find comments such as ‘Seriously, y’all. Stop it’ to be just a teensy-weensy bit on the patronising side.It was a phrase almost certainly created by someone who hasn’t a clue about medicine or science. ‘Aspirin was created to reduce pain and temperature, not to reduce the risk of heart disease. Seriously y’all, trying to use it in heart disease, just stop it y’all.’
On a more serious note, I was threatened by the General Medical Council on a couple of occasions for criticizing the lack of safety research on the new vaccines. There were widespread attacks going on, all over the place, to silence anyone questioning the official narrative.
Lord Sumption, once head of the Supreme Court in England, had this to say about it all:
“The sheer scale on which the government has sought to govern by decree, creating new criminal offences, sometimes several times a week on the mere say-so of ministers, is in constitutional terms truly breathtaking.”
“This is how freedom dies. When societies lose their liberty, it is not usually because some despot has crushed it under his boot. It is because people voluntarily surrendered their liberty out of fear of some external threat.”
Sweden, alone amongst European countries, decided not to lockdown, or perhaps you could call what they did lockdown ‘lite’. Schools, restaurants and bars remained open. People travelled on public transport. This approach was universally condemned. It was said that Dr Anders Tegnell (chief epidemiologist) and Stefan Löfven (the prime minister), were…
‘…playing Russian roulette with the Swedish population,” Carlsson said. “At least if we’re going to do this as a people … lay the facts on the table so that we understand the reasons. The way I am feeling now is that we are being herded like a flock of sheep towards disaster…
… Leading experts last week were fiercely critical of the Swedish public health authority in an email thread seen by state broadcaster SVT, accusing it of incompetence and lack of medical expertise.’
I went to speak at an anti-lockdown rally in Edinburgh, September 2020. It had been approved by the police. However, the organiser was dragged in for questioning and was told he could face up to five years in jail for endangering public health. Five years in prison… It did feel as if some totalitarian regime had taken over. It most certainly felt as though big brother was watching you, everywhere.
Although, from what I could see, most people seemed to welcome this with open arms. The State stepping in to take control and keep us all safe. Fellow doctors were very much of the ‘we should lock down harder, and longer and silence anyone who objects’ brigade. And, by the way, make vaccination mandatory, for everyone.
I have always been more of a ‘Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty, nor safety.’ Kind of a guy. Which appears to place me very firmly in the minority in the UK, and most of Western World. And most certainly a minority of one within the medical profession. At least it felt that way.
I found that, taken as a whole, the actions taken had the feel of ‘they’, whoever they may be, coming together to form some great all-powerful Oligarchy to rule us all. The great and the good gathering power around themselves. The WHO, the World Economic Forum, prime ministers and presidents, billionaires such as Bill Gates.
Of course, all of them fervently deny the ‘grabbing power’ thing. ‘We were doing it for you own good, can’t you see.’ Yes, the defence of coercive controllers since time immemorial. Democracy was suspended – perhaps indefinitely – and at times ‘they’ seemed to be getting a taste for it. The thin veneer of Western Liberal democracy stripped away to reveal what lies underneath. Usually, not nice.
So, I can see exactly why it all had the look and feel of some great worldwide conspiracy. And once you start to view the Covid pandemic through the conspiracy lens, all actions can seem sinister.
Bill Gates was trying to inject nanotechnology into us with the vaccines. 5G masts had been set up to control us all and activate the virus (not sure I remember that right). Vaccines were designed to kill people and reduce human population. The World Economic Forum was going to turn us into powerless economic units “you will own nothing and be happy.’’
All nonsense those involved cry. True, I reply. Because I don’t believe there was a great conspiracy. Nothing could be that well planned or organised. People are generally pretty useless at such things.
Instead, I believe that the motivations behind (most) of those in charge were benign, if paternalistic. ‘They’ did not wish to defenestrate democracy around the world, and transfer power to themselves. What we had was more of a: ‘We, the mighty leaders, are here to look after you. Only we know the great and complex plan. You, on the other hand, the lumpen proletariat, cannot be trusted to make the correct decisions, so do as we say.’
In essence ‘they’ will tell you what to do, and what to think about the entire pandemic. This form of parent/child social interaction was best described by Eric Berne in his seminal book ‘Games People Play.’ The theory of transactional analysis.
Here is a good description of this dynamic, and the situation that can develop (in this case, within a company)
‘Whenever a paternalistic leadership style is enacted, an asymmetry is established. The leader (or superior of some sort) exhibits behaviour that resembles a parent while the subordinate exhibits behaviour that resembles a child.
There is an entirely different interaction between the members of a leadership team. The ‘Parents’ (leaders) engage in truthful esoteric conversations with each other, discussions that are designed for them alone. They then pass down a filtered subset of exoteric knowledge, only that which is deemed suitable for ‘Children’s’ (subordinate’s) consumption.
Thus, paternal leadership becomes a form of domination: it imposes the ‘Parent’s’ rationality upon the ‘Children’. The ‘Children’ are excluded from participating in the ‘Parent’s’ world.
In this dynamic, both ‘Children’ and ‘Parents’ avoid Adult-to-Adult conversation. Paternalistic leaders effectively create a chasm between themselves and their infantilised employees. The employees are relegated to a ‘nursery’ where they can be seen but not heard.’ https://postbureaucracy.substack.com/p/dialogue-over-paternalism?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Sound familiar in any way?
I always find it ironic that, as a doctor, I was taught about transactional analysis at medical school and warned to avoid a paternalistic approach. In retrospect, I think I must have remembered that wrong. ‘You will take on a paternalistic approach.’
But I diverge. The point I want to make here is that, when you treat people like children, you can expect two results. One, people take shelter behind the parent figure, trusting in everything they are told, which is the result the authorities are hoping for. Two, people get angry and fight back. The truculent child.
I usually take on the truculent child position when people try to tell me what to do. Arms crossed, grumpy face. I always prefer adult/adult conversations, but this is often tricky when ‘experts’ propound their truth, and ‘facts’, and will brook no dissent. ‘Do you not know who I am? I am an expert in [insert expertise here], and you are but a General Practitioner. You know nothing.’
The truculent child certainly takes over when it becomes clear that a great deal of what we are being told is nonsense. Or, as close to nonsense as makes no difference. The virus is spread though droplets, not aerosols. This was clearly nonsense from day one. Look up ferrets.
Or, try this one. You can take masks off whilst eating in a restaurant, but you have to put them back on when standing up and walking in a restaurant. Take me through the evidence behind this again, slowly? I promise not to laugh this time. Cross my heart and hope to die.
At the very beginning, staff in hospital and nursing homes were told that they could not wear masks or PPE as it might upset the patients. Oh, yes, we remember that, or at least I certainly do. Then, once there actually were masks, and PPE, we were told we had to wear them, for our safety, and the protection of patients. Four legs good, two legs bad became …
The first masks I received had a little sticker on them to inform me that they were in date until 2022. When I peeled back the, rather crudely applied, sticker, it revealed something else beneath. Information stating that the masks had gone out of date in 2017. Yes, we were sent out-of-date equipment. Which had been deliberately disguised to look as if it was still in date.
Personally, I wasn’t that bothered about the risk of out-of-date masks. I didn’t think the PPE we were given had the slightest effect, on anything. Certainly not surgical masks. The air comes in the side and goes out the side. As far I was concerned all that masks would ever achieve was to turn droplets into aerosols as you breathed in and out. Thus, increasing infection risk.
However, the sheer duplicity of changing the use by dates on, supposedly, lifesaving equipment was outrageous. If they could do that … what else?
Oh, you don’t remember them doing this. Well, I bloody do. And as you can see, I took photographs just to remind me that I hadn’t been hallucinating. Because, to believe they actually did this, means you will end up at the following place with your thinking:
Someone, somewhere, made the decision to provide health care staff with out-of-date equipment.
At which point they had to pay someone else, somewhere, to print out millions of little stickers with a new, false, date printed on them.
Then a small army of workers had to be paid to take the boxes containing masks out of their cartons, and place new stickers over the old ‘use by’ date. Then put the boxes back in the cartons. Then send them out.
This wasn’t some ‘oops, how careless, silly little me’, mistake. Meetings will have been organised, at which senior managers got together and agreed the workload, timings, and costs. And someone, somewhere, signed all of this off.
Then I took a photograph to remind me of the utter, utter, bast….
‘Now, you expect me to believe everything you say?’
But this was just a little thing, you may say. No, it was not a little thing. It was a symptom of something very big and malignant underneath. Clear evidence that those in charge were willing to lie through their teeth – to staff who were working on the front line. Happily exposing them to an increased risk of death by sending out faulty equipment – and then quite deliberately hiding that fact.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
‘Oh yes, we admit we lied about this. But as for everything else. We told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help me …’ Stop, just don’t say that last bit. A bolt of lightning may strike you down. And I may stand cheering on the side lines. Of course, there was much more, so much more. Things we were told that were utter scientific bollocks, or direct misinformation, or just plain lies, with heavy handed threats to those who tried to point it out.
Just to give one more example. I wrote a blog suggesting that mRNA vaccines may increase the risk of myocarditis (inflammation and damage to the heart), I got a threatening phone call from NHS England to tell me to cease and desist, or else.
Another doctor contacted me about the same issue. I discussed this on my blog:
‘My last blog discussed the possibility that mRNA COVID19 vaccines significantly increase the risk of myocarditis. Following this, a fellow doctor reached out to tell me about what has happened to them. They too, had questioned some aspects of the safety and efficacy of the vaccines.
As a result, they have been sent two threatening letters, which are both of the ‘iron fist in a velvet glove’ variety. I asked their permission to reproduce them here. One is from the General Medical Council (GMC). The other from their responsible officer – I shall explain what this title means a bit further on.
Below is the letter from the GMC:
Dear Dr….
The GMC have received several complaints regarding your recent social media posts.
All doctors have a right to express their personal opinion regarding the Covid-19 vaccine, and while the GMC in no way supports this opinion, we don’t consider your comments are sufficiently strong to open a fitness to practice investigation at this stage.
However, we are referring this matter to your Responsible Office for your reflection through the appraisal process.
We ask that you consider what implications this complaint might have for your practise when you are discussing this with your appraiser. We would also like to remind you of GMC guidance, in particular ‘Doctors’ use of social media, and of the requirement of doctors to act with honesty and integrity to justify the public’s trust in them
What we will do now
We will share the complaint with your responsible officer for them to consider in the wider context of your practice and revalidation.’ https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2022/02/27/vaccination-silencing-doctors-in-the-uk/
What a creepy, creepy, creepy letter. The GMC was sharing the complaint with the responsible officer (RO). This is, essentially, a very thinly veiled threat that, if you don’t shut up, the RO will remove you from the medical register. Which means that you cannot work as a doctor in the UK or anywhere else in the world. Potentially, forever.
It is now widely accepted the mRNA vaccines do increase the risk of myocarditis. So, we were both right. And we were both threatened with removal of our licences to practice medicine. Lies and threats, threats and lies.
Now, to return to the question I posed as the title to this blog. ‘Why do so many people continue to believe Covid was a ‘plandemic.’ It is because dear reader, and dear ‘expert,’ and dear – all those carrying out the deliberately designed to be pointless UK Covid enquiry. We were quite clearly lied to, many times.
In addition, those raising medical concerns e.g. myocarditis, were squashed, with additional intimidation thrown in. People organising legal demonstrations against lockdown were threatened with, in one case, five years in jail.
Trust. Takes a lifetime to build, seconds to break.
You broke it.
No wonder a large number of people don’t believe anything you have to say. Now, we have many who claim there was no virus at all. The deaths were just made up, or caused by the very actions designed to save people … I don’t agree with this. But I can see why some people do.
When people despair of so-called ‘conspiracy theories, or theorists, and why do they seem to be taking over the world.’ I say. You caused it, and your actions and denials of facts just make it worse. Do you think people don’t notice when you talk utter unscientific bollocks, or threaten to throw people in jail, or remove their license to practice medicine for stating verifiable facts? Actions have consequences. So, could you just stop it y’all.
And breathe.
Next. The cover-up.
Dr. Malcolm Kendrick 
I do love your blogs. You put into words exactly my thoughts! Another great post Dr Kendrick. Thank you. 😊
Was Event 201 the dress rehearsal for what conspiracy theorist call a plandemic? Event 201 took place in 2019, coincidentally just before the curtain went up on the Covid Show. It’s been swept under the rug along with everything else from that era.
It’s not farfetched to wonder if a redistribution of wealth might have been motive enough to stage a pandemic. After all, a redistribution of wealth is exactly what happened.
Remember when Fauci said, Ï am the science.” Trump believed him and most world leaders went along with the propaganda as well. The media bombarded us with doom and gloom 24/7 and villainized the unvaccinated.
Covid was a case of viral social contagion based on fear of a perceived deadly contagious particle that in fact has never been isolated or proven to exist. It’s way more likely that covid came from the imagination of some nefarious individuals than that it came from a bat in a Chinese market or a laboratory in Wuhan.
https://centerforhealthsecurity.org/2019/players-for-event-201-a-pandemic-exercise-include-global-business-leaders-and-prominent-government-and-public-health-leaders-livestream-open-to-all
I wonder if SPI-B or some allied organization doesn’t fund that group? Surely, public health used chaos agents to make their opponents seem foolish.
For me the worst lie was when Rishi Sunak stood up in parliament and repeated the mantra “the covid vaccine is safe and effective” in response to MP Andrew Bridgen’s concerns. Totally ignoring the fact that more Yellow Card reports of deaths and serious side effects had been raised in 18 months than the sum total of all other vaccines over 30 years-and many had been reported over 30 years. The increased rate of reporting was a factor of hundreds times more. And the MHRA acknowledge only 1-2% are reported!!. I had all of the data having researched my daughter’s life changing serious reaction to the HPV vaccine. She was one of thousands affected – see documentary ‘Sacrificial Virgins’. Further research proved from international governments own data that incidence of cervical cancer increased in vaccinated women. See French oncologist surgeon Gerard Delepine’s book with all the data – and how the clinical trials were corrupted.
The other popular criminal activity to suppress the truth about vaccine injury is to accuse the parents of Munchausens Syndrome by Proxy or Fabricated or Induced Illness. We were wrongly accused by the NHS and investigated twice. Fortunately the Police and Social Services preferred our truth and evidence.
Whenever any of the marionettes from the House of Puppets, along with their associates who are pushed to the front of the stage speak, one has to metaphorically remember to place the Babel fish in your ear to decipher what the perpetrators really are saying. You need to decipher their words as being spoken from their perspective. In this case “effective” meant it would do what the perpetrators intended the Covidjab to do. “Safe” meant the perpetrators would get away with it and never be held to account.
And put loads of money in their safe(s). Safe and effective will anagram to ‘feed affects naïve’ and one had to be naïve to be fed this line and believe it.
dr Kendrick
you are more eloquent than me, but here are questions or comments.
Sweden: my son lives there, as far as I understand, in the end outcomes deaths etc were much like other Nordic countries.
I noted that here in Belgium once they started massive vaccinating the incidence of infections died away
if lockdown was ti stop killing granny, abd I am 85, why was there not more focus on oldies rather than confining eceryone?
we put ourselves on vitamine D 8000 IUs a day
we were never infected
three if my friends died
Re: Belgium – was it media reporting that va##iing was causing the reduction of incidence of infections? (Media is bought and sold by Big P in the US. – ) Or possibly the media fostering fear, and once they’d done that, gotten the reaction they wanted, they pretty much stopped reporting on it. Did anyone do an “all cause mortality” check for the data? # deaths by all causes pre and post va# rollout.
I think the relative increase in all cause mortality during the Pfizer trial was 40%. I asked about it on here of people with knowledge of statistics and they said that it wasn’t statistically significant. I asked if it would reach statistical significance once extrapolated from 44K patients (trial size) to potentially a billion or more of patients and I didn’t get a reply
I am in Vlaams/Brabant. I believe take of the vaccine was around 90% but they still brought in vaccine passports to coerce the remaining few of us to take it by making us social outcasts. This was in October 2021 – but in summer 21 they had already found out that the vaccines were leaky and did not stop transmission. Later it was admitted that vaccine passports were only to coerce people to take the vaccine. But why? Why were they so desperate to get us all to take it.
In the end I caught covid from a vaccinated spouse. I took Ivermectin (thanks to my wonderful GP) and was hardly unwell – those who were vaccinated seemed a lot worse.
I found the whole period deeply disturbing and will never trust the authorities again.
“I found the whole period deeply disturbing and will never trust the authorities again”.
Better late than never!
Your treatment by the GMC – alarming, if unsurprising- shows they’ve learned a thing or two from the police and their NCHIs as a means of intimidating those guilty of wrongthink. QV Allison Pearson and Essex Constabulary.
The GMC are the thought police of doctors in the UK. They sit and observe and threaten to punish all behaviour not fully in line with the accepted party line.
Me thinks… Munchhausen Syndrome by Policy.
Malcolm–I think you will find it interesting and upsetting to learn that Dr. Sam Bailey in New Zealand, who has been cited many times in replies to your posts, is being harassed to the tune of a $150,000 fine by the New Zealand Medical Council. This is her punishment for the crime of speaking out against the unscientific dogma of virology. They must really think she’s a threat!
See the piece by John Rappoport–“The Medical Nazis of New Zealand vs the Brilliant Dr. Sam Bailey.

You are a brave man Dr Kendrick..having experienced the cardiac damage I now have 2 stents and drugs that are pushing my kidneys to overdrive…so thank you for this excellent blog at least I feel I haven’t made it all up!
I’m 110% with you on all you say. I’m not in the medical world but as soon as Covid kicked in, I started to question everything, like a 3 year old! Why, was my most used word. Like you, I hate being told what to do in a condescending manner, I’d last 5 mins in the army. I think being self employed also makes you question everything. The speed the world is moving at to take our freedoms away is frightening. This is going to be a long journey.
As a student of social history, I reckon the great majority of us in advanced western economies, have more ‘freedom’ to be who we are and live how we want to today than in earlier times. There is unquestionably more choice and less social pressure. Especially for women.
A good read. Thank you.
Good morning,I totally agree with all you say.We’ve got a Dr who lives down
I don’t think it is unreasonable to describe the covid event as a ‘Plandemic’ by virtue of the fact that there were very detailed plans already in place for it:
The SPARS Pandemic 2025-2028 (Possible future for 2025: The “Echo Chamber”)
Players for Event 201, a pandemic exercise, include global business leaders and prominent government and public health leaders—livestream open to all | Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security
I’m no great fan, but a certain lady called it for what it is… Batshit bonkers Britain.
if they don’t want me to be a conspiracy theorist, they should stop behaving as if they are part of one.
PCR tests are bogus and that is what they always need to ramp up the number of cases and get the pandemics started. All pandemics are fake. The CDC has stopped none of them or even saved one life (impossible to prove they can save anyone).
I haven’t had any vaccines in over 50 years and no flu in over 30 years. I used to drive around the US for work over a decade ago and never got sick except for a few sniffles.
Nothing about the covid pandemic made any sense. NOTHING at all and the mRNA poisons sure are no solution; exactly the opposite. No vaccine is worth a pint of moose piss. You will be far healthier with no drugs at all as I am at age 75.
I have just had my 78th birthday and so far very fit. I take no meds, but do take Vit B complex, Vit C, D3, K2, zinc and magnesium. I’m told by my crowd following, non questioning friends, how lucky I am!
I have never had any kind of jab, flu or otherwise, I’ve never had flu. The refusal of the otherwise causing great anger among some less open minded friends. I’ve never had covid either. I am fitter than all those who had the jab and who still have boosters, they constantly suffer from dreadful lingering coughs, colds, also polymyalgia, heart problems, neurological problems, not one of them joins the dots. Some have died.
For me the red flags began flying when on the news in late 2019 bottles of vaccine were filmed rolling on a conveyor belt for a disease that was just appearing in the news. I had an overwhelming sense of dread while wondering how they managed that in a few weeks/months when vaccine normally takes anything up to 15 years to develop. Then I started researching and decided we were being taken for fools.
My husband decided to have the jab plus one booster, his body his choice, he knew I wouldn’t have one and I did not question his choice nor his mine. I may have been wrong. Both his jabs were Pfizer from bad batches, as I found when researching, he died 3 years later of a turbo charged cancer, 7 weeks from the tumour being found. From what I have read there is a huge upsurge in cancers, particularly turbo ones, yet no-one can understand why, or those who express their worries are silenced, this happening in a ‘democracy’. So many alarm bells yet so few questioning and those of us who did and still do are labelled anti vax, I find this terrifying.
We were told we had informed choices about taking the jab, reluctantly I took my husband to queue up for his first, on exit he gave me a paper and said you will be interested in this. It was about the jab, EXPERIMENTAL, typed in bold print at the top of the page, no-one on reading this would have stayed to be jabbed but they couldn’t read it because this paper, for the informed choice, was put on the chair for everyone to read AFTER they had been jabbed, while they sat awaiting any reaction. I was horrified, so much for an informed choice. He stopped having jabs after the first booster. Maybe the cancer was a coincidence, I shall never know but what I do know is that it is a very scary world where in a ‘democracy’, anyone who expresses their opinions contrary to the current propaganda and are pilloried, threatened or sacked for expressing them, should make us all very worried indeed. What was it Goebels said in the thirties, keep on telling the public the same thing over and over again and they will begin to believe it, or words to that effect, how right he was, he would be very proud of the way the population has behaved and far too many still do.
It has always been difficult to be a free thinker, these last 5 years have made for extremely uncomfortable living for those of us who are so, as I’m sure you Dr Kendrick will agree.
I am thankful to be old and at the end of my life. I shall continue as I have over the years, keeping fit and more importantly, keeping away from the Drs surgery!
Keep up the good work Dr Kendrick, I hope it is easier for you to continue questioning all propaganda now you have retired. May you have a long one!
I am an engineer in the US, now retired. The entire vaccine for a virus thing did not compute with 8th grade high school health about a virus and vaccine simply because the nature of a virus is that is CHANGES too fast for a vaccine to be developed and be effective.The life of a virus ,as I understand it ,resembles a Bell Curve,with recognition on the fore-end as it multiplies to be problematic and reaches its apex and begins its regression to ending.Always changing and never stable enough for a vaccine to catch up. However ,a virus must attach to live,so prevent the attachment ,ie Ivermectin,and it goes away.And the PCR test was a joke, completely controlled as to efficacy by the number of iterations.At 40 ea ,everyone was positive, as we all have multiple virus in our bodies. The PCR developer wrote that 17 to 20 iterations was sufficient for a specific test. It seems to never end. Millions of people died and more millions are living with Long Covid. I am wishing for Justice,but not losing sleep waiting. Vented!
Excellent as ever
I lost trust in ‘them’ around twenty years ago when they gaslit me about thyroid treatment. I now consider they did me a huge favour. I knew throughout the entire charade, with cast iron confidence, that doing the opposite of what was advised should see me right. They can go hang for all I care, trust is never coming back.
Thank you! Great post telling it like it was.

Jean, you might think of deleting your full address…you don’t know who might see it..not everyone on the Internet is good.
Thank you again for a great email.
Iâm no medical expert but I did a lot of reading around the subject and concluded that the vaccine was a recipe for autoimmune disease – when has the body been asked to make a disease via vaccine only to then make antibodies? I was told I was being too simplistic and just take the damn shot. I didnât. I was ostracised.
My faith in the advice was then further decimated by the mask wearing edict, your unpicking of the logic is also where I netted out. But as a non-expert and now an unvaccinated danger to society, I was left unheard as a conspiracy theorist (not a well educated, critical thinker).
I didnât grow up a truculent child – I was very obedient. However, Iâve grown into a very questioning and truculent individual. And I have been saying, as you concluded, when you lose trust itâs almost impossible to win it back. I have absolutely no faith in our leaders – I do see great leaders around me but unfortunately they wonât touch Westminster with a barge pole. At best our leaders are incompetent or at worst corrupt. This paternalistic approach has no place in good leadership that accepts we are all on the same side, and seeks the win:win through collaboration.
Thanks goodness for your emails! They make me breathe out.

Brilliant as always. Reminds me of one of my favourite quotes from The Prisoner ( and you’re old enough to remember it!)
’I will not be pushed, filed,stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.’
Thankyou Dr Kendrick – I found your blog during that time and it helped to keep me sane, when all around were being manipulated by fear. Many of my friends fell for the bullying and still believe in the deadly virus story.
There was a virus doing the rounds late autumn and in to the early Spring of 2020 so from that narrow perspective one could say a flu/flu-like illness was on the march ( not unlike every other winter). However, I can understand how the term ‘plandemic’ was/is used in respect of that time.
There were the pictures of people falling down in the street in China which( surprisingly perhaps) quickly made their way around the world. Not seen in one’s local or wider neighbourhood. Preceding the flu season proper there was Event 201 in New York in October 2019….table top exercise for a ‘coronavirus pandemic’…..policies, procedures and propaganda to be utilised.
What followed (the would-be Churchill) Johnson’s announcement on March 23rd 2020 were the lockdowns ( just 3 weeks to flatten the curve when it was practically flattened anyway), ubiquitous testing for ‘cases’ to be reported daily by msm, podium appearances by the ‘experts’, Whitty and Valance and the chap frequently using football analogies to convince the public they had the knowledge and expertise, tiered lockdowns from autumn 2020 to keep the public a) in check, b) frustrated c)willing to accept a (rushed) ‘vaccine’ to get back to normal, aka the ‘new normal’.
These policies were replicated in the other Five Eyes countries ( USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) to greater degrees. Coordinated if you like. Naturally, the EU did its utmost to corall its members to follow the same, save a few East European countries.
There was nothing benign, no muddled dealings, no mistakes in how these policies were instigated. Yet, there were people, some medics who spoke out and other commentators, because a rat was smelled, not to mention many ‘ordinary’ members of the public who joined huge marches to protest what was going on. Telling is that these marches, London, Manchester, Liverpool were never given top billing on the BBC for example. ‘They’, the ‘orchestrators’ did not want the TV viewing public to start questioning why were so many marching.
In conclusion, I contend a flu season became a ‘plandemic’ from all of the above.
If in any doubt, I recommend two sources. The first is The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert Kennedy, which explains the decades-long planning that went on behind the scenes. The clue as to the agenda is in the sub-title “Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the war on democracy and public health”.
The second source is: The Covid Dossier: A record of military and intelligence coordination of the global Covid event.

Dr Kendrick
Can you link to a good study explaining Covid droplets vs. aerosols?
Well we all know what the get out clause will be for all this idiocy don’t we? The one which is used daily in all areas of life. “Oh sorry, lessons will be learnt!” Which only serves to make me want to scream. I can only imagine the internal screaming you had going on being a GP and trying to do no harm in the face of all the crass lunacy by those in powerful positions.
NHS England to be scrapped! Could it be that Wes Streeting has been reading Dr Kendrick’s blogs?
Always happy to hear from you Malcolm! As it turns out, looking back, I do believe it was a planned event — the man made virus was released and spread on purpose. Probably by our CIA, maybe in cahoots with China, or maybe not. Germany seems to have had a big role to play there at the beginning. I think the plan was to wrestle power away from Trump and prevent his reelection — which worked. Other countries used the “lucky” event for their own power games. And certain people made a lot of money. It was a win-win for our “rulers.”
” I think the plan was to wrestle power away from Trump and prevent his reelection — which worked.”
Not what I’d call “worked”.
It was very suspicious that MPs weren’t asked to take the stuff. I read of two who obviously didn’t, one Lab. and one Con. OTOH I think most elite figures believed in the ‘modern medicine’ nonsense and voluntarily took it.
It appeared during 2021/22 that the UK has some legislation that bans mandatory medication in this context. At times it even seems slightly more the ‘land of the free’ than the USA. But still the UK executive & whips forced enough MPs to vote for a law forcing care home workers to get it.
Wasn’t that law illegal? But from what I read, compliance collapsed and workers resigned en masse, suggesting that Brits. may still be more resistant to being pushed around than folk in other countries.
Like Sarah Wright, above, I was obedient as a child and through university but I had become ‘awkward squad’ by about age 30. Mostly it’s served me well.
Thank you. I ‘discovered’ your blog at a point of desperation, during the Great British Lockdown. It was – and still is – very reassuring to read educated, experienced observations at a time when otherwise one is fed, almost exclusively, mass media propaganda. And as you say, one is branded outright dangerous and damned for considering anything other than the consensual delusion.
I spend a depressing morning, some time ago, trying to figure out a reasoning for our ever expanding aversion to risk. It’s at the root (I think) of a suffocating amount of regulation, which in turn seems to have all but stopped us from doing anything – especially commercially. Certainly doing anything cost-effectively – or within any sort of reasonable time frame. And all I came away with was that risk aversion is caused by a dimunution of trust. Just as you’ve concluded and illustrated.
It becomes more complex once one delves into the realisation that trust, responsibility – and from that rights and freedoms flow along a very busy two way street. Ideally those in authority would’ve given citizens enough of (or indeed all) information on the subject and allowed them to draw their own conclusions. We’d then act considerately and exercise due caution as one often does in the face of contagious infection – particularly amongst the vulnerable. But clearly when a quarter of Police Officers reported that they’d been spat at or coughed on by members of the public who claimed they were infected with Covid, the two way street – and our willingness to walk along it – becomes like many of the actual streets in this island (continuing the metaphor) – a potentially dangerous place to be. Maybe. So in some ways, while agreeing there was an enormous over-reaction, there was also a little justification, since not everyone is a caring, responsible citizen. And as infections go, it appeared to be quite variable in it’s reactive symptoms. Those who got it badly, died. Many were hspitalised. This was, at the time, a serious matter.
So to delve deeper and try and conclude the comment, many more than one might think took a bit of a ‘lip service’ approach to lockdown. A PM got deposed, but many of us proles found ‘ways’ around things – you can’t prevent everyone from using some ingenuity – and we figured that – as at school – not everyone’s gonna get caught ! Those paid to sit on their hands understandably just took the free money. So we’re now all paying for it for sure.
But I think the more depressing attitude was from those who flat out tried to stop anyone bravely trying to find some solutions. At times like that they won’t be right first time. But they’re a start. We learn, we develop. Like those behind the MATH+ Protocol (now IMA) who were told their ‘treat the symptoms’ approach had no ‘double-blind’ validity. All those who had their unconventional ideas and media posts taken down, silenced by authorities who duplicitously were also preaching diversity and inclusion.
The person who chipped some lumps off a flat stone and invented the wheel would’ve simply been prevented today, told to wait until safety goggles are invented. I often ask people how they’d fare if they’d not evolved out of a cave – expecting them to reply “it’d be okay if I’d got good wi-fi service”.
We are not cows, we are not horses but like them we are mammals with very similar physiology. We are not mice, also mammals, on which the vaccines were tested and pronounced safe. One of my friends noted that at some point people went in huge numbers to sunbathe on Bournemouth beach, and told me there would be a lot of ill people – I demurred suggesting that sunlight and fresh air was great for health (oddly I was right). On a Zoom meetup with friends in 2021 I suggested that it was not possible to assert the vaccines were safe considering the warp speed of development to use and one of my friends told me that I did not understand that development was all about money and with enough money you can do the different trial stages in parallel. On Twitter I had contact with a lovely hospital doctor, I am sure very caring, who when I put out my reservations about the vaccines (especially the unknown dose of antigen produced for an unknown time) queried – Are you really a scientist? Indeed yes, part of my thinking has to be finding where ideas are wrong, science is not about accepting consensus. I wrote a long piece in 2021 about what was going, especially that time frame shift where people were labelled unvaccinated until two weeks after the jab, to send to medic and science friends – with very mixed response. I suggested that long Covid might be long Vaxx – that got batted away fast. There is an economist whose work I really like, and I made many comments on his blog. At one point he bashed the Great Barrington Declaration people as right wing propagandists. When I wrote a reply on his blog suggesting that data from Sweden suggested they were right, my comment did not pass approval and I was actually blocked from ever commenting on his articles again in spite of the many positive comments I had made previously.
I don’t think the ‘pandemic’ was planned, but certainly the response was, just there waiting for some minor event to ramp up. I am a bit more cynical than you – ‘they’ now know that they can get people to conform if needed.
While I agree with most of what you’ve said here I might be living proof that Long Covid is exactly that. I lost my sense of smell and taste from Covid and it never properly came back. I can go through weeks with no sense of either, and then definitely diminished senses when it is ‘better’. I have never had a Covid vaccine.
for me the penny dropped early in the pandemic when masks suddenly became mandatory across the entire western world .. when only the previous day the WHO itself had been stating they were ineffective. It was also clear by then (March 2020) from reports of COVID spreading through the air ducts within blocks of flats in lockdown (in Hong Kong) that the method of infection was clearly aerosol and not droplets . … and this proved to me that the authorities were playing fast and loose with the facts and were therefore up to something else. … and this was before we also talk about the stupid arbitrary creation of and application of lockdown rules. This whole episode was a total disaster for the credibility and conduct of scientific research, showing that vested interests are stronger than ever and that honest debate and investigation is actively allowed to be quashed (indeed the government actually encouraged suppression of free thought) .. and the legacy of this is sadly continuing. After this there will be precious little real scientific progress as they have killed the golden goose of scientific honesty and integrity
excellent article, yet again. Your blog certainly helped me maintain my sanity during the height of the planet wide stupidity, I knew I wasn’t alone. Thanks.
also, let’s not forget the gross hypocrisy of the ‘ruling classes’, Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer partying and socialising whilst we were locked up. They knew it was all bollocks but we had to do as they told us.
I wonder how many politicians actually had the geneVax. That’s one statistic that would be interesting.
I think it was a plandemic because in 2017, during a press conference, an arrogant and boastful Anthony Fauci proclaimed that “Trump will face a pandemic from an unknown pathogen before his term is up”. No one can predict with that degree of specificity unless they had a hand in its release.
FOR THE RECORD.
THIS RECOLLECTION OF EVENTS SURROUNDING AN IRISH PARAMEDIC’S EXPERIENCE IN 2020 WAS RELAYED TO SOME 20 INTERESTED PERSONS IN LATE 2022.
Sean (not his real name) found himself drifting in to a Chapel, to find solace & a semblance of peace of mind as he tried to grapple with what he witnessed in his job as a paramedic in 2020 in a north Midlands town.
Initially, he and his colleagues were warned about “the surge”, an expected unstoppable wave of extremely serious respiratory conditions known as covid 19, trumpeted incessantly on all mainstream media outlets after March 2020. This “highly transmittable” often fatal condition, according to practically all Western governments, newspapers & TV channels was causing people to drop dead on Chinese streets, to cause mass burials in northern Italy and the filling up of hospitals right across Europe, the US , Australia & much of Asia. Such the like had never been witnessed before.
As Sean & his colleagues sat out the initial delay in the arrival of the surge, they found themselves the subject of a bonanza of take away food offerings, presented by fast food owners, grateful for heroes like Sean & his colleagues, as they manned the front lines in defiance of their own personal risk. Bravery like this deserved to be rewarded and gestures were abundant as were the food offerings. Indeed the paramedics were no little embarrassed by the generosity. Days moved in to weeks and the surge still hadn’t shown its ugly head. What did show up however were suicides, too often involving young people. This was lockdown time – a social meltdown coinciding with the tightening control over the lives of an anxiety-ridden people. His crew was called to 14 such cases during this period, a number completely out of touch with normality.
Two incidences troubled Sean. The bizarre circumstances indicated that all was not as it was presented by the combined forces of government & media. (One well known writer has labelled this force “the combine”)
Sean described how he was called to collect a patient in a Dublin hospital which involved walking through a “covid” ward, the sort of ward that was habitually described as overflowing and indeed that’s exactly as a news bulletin described this particular ward. Sean & his colleague feared the worst, but the fear was unfounded. The covid ward consisted of 4 patients, one on his phone another two relaxed & sitting on the side of the bed and one sleeping. Two nurses just outside the ward were chatting. Sean’s surprise at the empty beds was met with a “shur you know yourself” response from an unconcerned nurse.
The second incident concerned a doctor who he heard on local radio outlining a terrible situation at his public clinic, it was beyond his ability to cope, such was the surge of covid cases. When confronted by Sean in his empty clinic, the doctor’s response was to refer to a “script” he had to follow.
Sean did eventually notice a surge. But this came about after the release of the vaxine to the public, a surge in heart attacks & strokes. In each report, he made reference to the vaxine if the patient was able to confirm that they had it recently. His department head disapproved of this association being recorded, but Sean was not to be budged. Sean found himself summoned to headquarters office where a mystery official, whom Sean refers to as “the man in black” made it clear that this association between heart attacks & vaxines was not something the organisation appreciated. Sean was to desist.
Sean found his position untenable and sought to resign. He had been unhappy with the pressure being applied to get injected with this experimental solution described as a vaxine – and noted that he found himself being pressured to get vaccinated in the week before he left.
Sean felt his story was worth telling & indeed it was. This summation of his ordeal as a paramedic dealing with a situation will serve the irish people in future as a true record of bizarre circumstances following the fanaticism of the covid 19 declaration. The Irish health service lost all sense of reason, operating with the Irish government and a complicit media, a trilogy of deceit.
Appreciation is due to this ex paramedic for relaying his experiences at this time.
PS Vouched for accuracy with the ex paramedic.
Thank you for posting and thank you Sean for your honesty. I was perplexed during the lockdowns as everyone who worked at the hospital from occupational therapists to janitors had the same refrain “I know what I’ve seen”. However, curiously every nurse I knew was “ working from home”. Could not understand it. One day they had a food truck deliver sandwiches and drinks to the hospital parking lot. Virtually the entire hospital staff was walking around the parking lot chatting and eating. It was shown on the local news and my husband and I sat watching and asked “who is with the patients?”
the paramedic’s story above from me, the truculant corner boy – lol
Jerome Savage
Malcolm,
Why does Denis Rancourt believe it was an assault on populations?
Denis Rancourt et al have studied all-cause mortality since mid-2020. They published over 30 reports since then. The biggest includes data for 125 countries.
I’ll summarize the pertinent elements. First, no evidence of spread. Evidence of spread is the one evidence that is determinant to the question of pandemic. If there isn’t any such evidence, there isn’t a pandemic.
The evidence is instead synchronous spikes in all-cause mortality in jurisdictions that show the spike, and about half the jurisdictions don’t show a spike in ACM. And pertinent to the WHO declaration of pandemic, no evidence of excess ACM before the WHO declaration of pandemic, and the spikes show up immediately following the WHO declaration of pandemic.
Was the virus waiting on the sidelines for the WHO declaration before it did its thing, and did it have a passport so it didn’t cross jurisdictional borders? No, of course not, that’s absurd.
Next, replication defective and infectious clones. These two are part of the question of plausibility and possibility with regard to mechanism and initial cause (i.e. open market, lab leak, patient zero, etc). I’ve learned most of it from Jonathan Couey on his Twitch streams. JJCouey on Twitch, Gigaohm Biological is his website. I’ll try to summarize here, but I likely won’t get it right, bear with me.
Replication defective is the name given to fractions produced by wild virus in nature, and in the lab when replicating conditions out in the wild. It means the fractions cannot then infect and replicate the full RNA sequence.
Infectious clones is the name given to full RNA sequence produced in the lab by methods that don’t exist in the wild. It’s these infectious clones that are used to infect live cells in the lab. Then from there, we get replication defective fractions.
These two elements – no evidence of spread, replication defective and infectious clones – constitute the two endpoints of causality, and demonstrate a pandemic is implausible, is impossible.
For my part, I have a most simple way to determine. I open my front door and look. I see no dead bodies lined up in the street. I asked people the same question. I got the same answer: No dead bodies lined up in the street.
Pertinent to the above endpoints, I live in Montreal, one such hotspot that showed a spike in ACM immediately following the WHO declaration of pandemic. The spike isn’t due to pandemic, it’s due to our actions that caused the deaths of thousands as measured by ACM, and by post-event investigation of where the deaths occurred. The deaths occurred in long-term care homes primarily, where we send our old, sick and dying, to be cared for.
There is no pandemic, Malcolm. There’s no evidence for it, nor does the mechanism permit to infer a pandemic is possible.
Martin Levac
Unfortunately, I do not think Dr Kendrick wants to face the facts. There have been many comments on this blog about the failed experiments of virologists and failed contagion experiments. But he does not address this scientific evidence.
Even if a person cannot go so far to admit or understand that they might have been deceived / misled for their whole lives about the claimed properties of sub microscopic particles called viruses, and I understand that because it causes cognitive dissonance which many people cannot handle, there is plenty of other evidence that every damage from the so called (I am not going to say the ‘p’ word because this does not exist) mass contagion event was man made.
Which study would you consider the single most compelling evidence that viruses do not exist. I am happy to read it, if I have not already done so. I have read much around this area, but I have yet to be convinced that viruses do not exist. I am fully aware mainstream medicine has been convinced by many – wrong – things over the centuries. Usually by going down the ‘yellow fingers’ form of thinking. Here is a disease, here is something different (yellow fingers) we find in people with this disease (in this case lung cancer). This something must be causal. Or to put it another way, doctors are suckers for mistaking association for causation. Nasty smells (miasma), causes infectious diseases and suchlike. Or, raised LDL causes CVD.
I advise not to jump to conclusion here.
Denis’ study of all-cause mortality doesn’t look at the question of the existence of viruses.
Conversely, the work shows no evidence of spread. So, if no virus, therefore no spread. But, if virus already present, then no need for spread, therefore no spread does not mean no virus.
No evidence of spread, while spikes in all-cause mortality, therefore exists causal agent. What is this causal agent?
Distinguish between cause and mechanism. Mechanism is also known as proximal cause, the cause most directly associated with the observed symptom in time and space. To clarify, use the term end points instead. So, end points vs mechanism. The causal agent is an end point, the symptom is an end point, the pathogen (if that’s what’s observed) is a mechanism.
Suppose a cut on the skin. This permits pathogen already present to invade tissue otherwise protected by skin. The causal agent is not pathogen, but cut on the skin.
Now suppose immune suppression. Cut on the skin is a physical immune suppression, where the skin has its own immune function to keep pathogen out. A breach in the defenses, if you will.
Now suppose immune suppression by biological and psychological stress, rather than by cut on the skin. All immune functions suppressed, not just skin. Not all immune functions, and not all immune suppression, equally potent. This means the most vulnerable gets hit hardest: The lungs. Pathogen already present, opportunistic. Symptom: Pneumonia.
Now suppose withhold antibiotics treatment. This was the case all over the world, where it was counter-advised to treat with antibiotics. As Denis observed, we’d made the situation near-identical to the event we call The Spanish Flu, where there was no antibiotics in that era, and where the bulk of excess deaths were due to bacterial pneumonia, itself induced by widespread biological and psychological stress leading to immune suppression.
Note that at no point in the reasoning above on the question of the causal agent have I considered the question of the existence of viruses. This means I cannot conclude either way about viruses. Denis’ study of all-cause mortality doesn’t look at the question of the existence of viruses.
Martin Levac
I think there is always a massive issue with infectious agents, in that they ae not ‘sufficient’ to cause infections (in general). In hospitals we have MRSA (methycillin resistance staph aureus). Many/most people carry it around, but it causes no infection. However, if you are elderly, and about to have an operation, it can cause nasty ‘infections’ that are very difficult to treat. So, if you have it on your skin are you ‘infected?’ You may be ‘infectious.’ I was recently sent an article from the Lancet called ‘The nasal microbiome modulates risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection.’ In essence, the bugs you have up your nose can increase the risk of Covid19 infection by over three fold.
I believed, right from the start, that it was possible to be ‘infected’ by Sars-Cov2, and brush it aside with no signs or symptoms – or even any residual antibodies to measure, because the virus never got past the mucosal defences. The word we use ‘infection’ is not useful. What does it mean to be ‘infected?’ That the virus has landed on you? That it got into your nose, and lungs? That it entered your bloodstream? That it got into cells where it multiplied? That you suffer symptoms? That you shed the virus?
All of the above, some of the above, something else?
Dr Kendrick. Entertaining, as ever – and, oh, informative as well… I have a number of medic friends and, when I spoke up in support of Sweden and it’s herd immunity; approach, I was swiftly told I didn’t understand. Maybe I don’t but could we have some stats on Sweden’s performance in th;excess deaths stakes; over the rest of Europe and USA. I’m only an Engineer, so please make it really simple. Kind regards, George Hewitt CEng MIC
Mortality data is never simple, sorry. There are many parameters that can be changed, and fiddled about with. As a population ages, the mortality rate, per head of population, will tend to rise. Then, you make comparisons with previous years, where they may, or may not, have been a higher rate of deaths. Then, you can start counting at different times of the year. summer to summer, or winter to winter – more people die in the winter.
To quote from the Office of National Statistics
Our new methodology for estimating the expected number of deaths involves fitting a quasi-Poisson regression model to aggregated death registration data. This statistical model provides the expected number of deaths registered in the current period, if trends in mortality rates remained with the same as those from recent periods and in the absence of extraordinary events affecting mortality, such as the peak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
To prepare the dataset for modelling, numbers of deaths are summed by period (weeks or months), age group, sex, and geography. For weekly data, the expected number of deaths in age-sex-geography stratum i in period t is the predicted value, d[i,t], from the statistical model: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/causesofdeath/articles/estimatingexcessdeathsintheukmethodologychanges/february2024
Clear?
Clear as mud(died) statistics
Malcolm,
Yes, it is quite clear. The study of all-cause mortality data is never simple. Indeed, Denis has often outlined the difficulties you mention. But these difficultites do not prohibit the study, nor prohibit to arrive at a determination of plausible causal association or absence thereof. It means instead the study must be judicious and critical, and expertly done.
Look, Malcolm. I’ve had this conversation countless times. The typical erudite answer I got was merely a fancy way not to read the paper. If you don’t read it, I don’t care to know the why. If you do read it, I care to hear your opinion. I trust it would be no different were you in my shoes.
Martin Levac
I downloaded (raw) mortality data for the years 2010 to 2023 for the USA from the CDC and National Vital Statistics System. There is info on each death for the whole year. So I counted the number of deaths in each month for all the years I have downloaded (there are more years available to download). I also got the US population data for all the same years.
So I just computer the number of deaths per million population in each of the months and each of the years. What I expected to see was a relatively flat death rate prior to 2020, with a large increase in 2020-2022 timeframe. Indeed there is such an increase in those years. But in the prior years 2010 to 2019, the death rate seems to be increasing in each of those years.
As you say it’s complicated, and it is possible that my home grown software isn’t quite right (even though I have checked it thoroughly). Another complicating factor is that there is a distinct pattern to the death rate for each of the months in the year. There is a distinct spike in deaths per Million population each January. But it still looks to me that the baseline years of 2010 to 2019 have an increase in deaths/million year over year. I have no explanation.
Stats are as Malcolm indicates complex and in the end not to be relied upon without spending hours and hours on them.
It is easier to say that they rebranded the ‘flu and you can’t, despite appearances to the contrary, catch the ‘flu.
Dr Malcolm, and Alphaandomega and others above:
Many thanks for your response – I’ll check out the ONS reference.
By coincidence, an interesting article by Prof Luke O’Neill published in Ireland’s Sunday Independent last Sunday. He is Biochemist at Trinity College Dublin.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
“To try to answer these three questions, we must use science. Of all the things we do as humans, science is the most reliable way to get to the truth of something. It’s not perfect because it is carried out by human beings, with their frailties. But it has the virtue of being self-correcting as data accumulates.
So how did we do? Overall Ireland did very well. Our health service delivered one of the most successful vaccine campaigns globally. By November 2021, Ireland was the top country in the EU for full vaccinations in our adult population.
Our excess mortality rate (meaning people who died because of Covid-19) was among the lowest in the world; and in the EU, we were second only to Norway, Finland and Denmark.”
“There is a strong case that if we hadn’t locked down in the way we did a lot more people would have died. Evidence for this can be seen in places with no lockdown and limited public health Measures.
Manaus in Brazil gives us a disturbing example. In the first phase of the pandemic, there were very few restrictions. Hospitals and then graveyards were overwhelmed and Manaus had 2,662 deaths, with a death rate of 121 per 100,000 in the first wave of the pandemic.
Compare that to Ireland, where in roughly the same period we had 12.5 deaths per 100,000. A poorer healthcare system and more poverty is likely to be part of the explanation, but the main reason for this 10-fold difference in death rates between Manaus and Ireland is the lack of public health measures.”
Are these figures correct?
George Hewitt
”Where are the Numbers?” is a good Substack run by a UK statistician. I think he dives deeply into Covid numbers
I was always the stroppy child. At school, teachers said, “Think for yourself”, but if you did and came to a different conclusion from them, they got very cross. Covid was the same. None of the measures made any logical sense. Mask on in the queue if ordering takeaway coffee, mask on if going to sit in (or was it the other way round?) – but it’s all the same queue. Never wore a mask, went out every day – shops, library, even work – didn’t catch it.
I wonder if masking was a test by TPTB to see how far the general public would take the lunacy.
Multiple examples of people driving with masks on and all windows closed.
Multiple examples of people out in the middle of nowhere wearing masks.
Multiple examples of people wearing masks on zoom calls.
Conclusion: most of the general public are incapable of thinking for themselves. Now excuse me while I stand on the doorstep and bash a saucepan for the NHS. No wonder Trump is closing down the USA education department, job done.
I think that the masks were to maintain the fear. If we hadn’t had them we might have forgotten that we were in a pandemic!
I remember Summer 2020 when life was in danger of slipping back to normal. This couldn’t be allowed so they brought in the masks. Who could ignore then that there was something fearful out there with all those awful masked faces.
Ditto for touching surfaces, people wearing disposable gloves, cleaning surfaces and of course, avoiding close contact with the rest of the human race.
Same! Horribly isolating, wasn’t it? I was always the kid who asked ‘But why?’ or who questioned the logic in teachers’ pronouncements. I had been raised by my father to do it, but it made me hugely unpopular, including with my father, who occasionally found it used against him. Likewise, I never wore a mask.
Mask on to walk 20 yards to a pub table for a meal, mask off to eat (phew that’s a relief, don’t have to push it through the mask!).
I experienced this with my father and sister who, despite intelligence complied. I went in via the toilet lobby back door as I refused to wear a mask (never did). I love my family but…
I went to hospital in June 2020 after I had fully worked out the scam. I was having immunotherapy for cancer. masks just introduced for NHS. Refused to wear mask to get PCR test and refused entry by idiot nurses.
Eventually had run in with staff outside clinic entrance. Said to oncology nurse ‘Would you jump off Beachy Head if you were told too?’
She averted her eyes (wearing mask outside in blazing sunshine) and said you can’t ask me that. I only realised later that she must have been suicidal during the lockdown (I believe she was single). It grieves me to this day.
Moronic oncology doctor came out and said words to the effect of ‘I have to consider my staff’, to which I replied ‘you are not considering your staff…’ at which point he walked off.
There was no thought to all the health and safety rules to engage staff, just a blanket imbecilic rule followed.
I did eventually get in without a mask when admin guy came out, but as I consider treatment pointless if not harmful, it would have been better if I hadn’t.
Everything you say is describing a plandemic but not in a “ooh lets have a pandemic” way but in the same way as we have a war which is always planned for and then the bones are picked over and the victorious write their legacy statements. This was a nasty divisive event influenced by those who have power and an urge to meddle and do not care anything about us useless eaters.
Honestly, it was a “are you ‘avin’ a laugh?” moment, reading about the “best is used by” date for masks. I certainly understand the freshness factor for medicines, but for surgical masks? C’mon now.
This is hilarious. Here were the scoundrels changing the “use by” dates of the, ahem, expired maksks to some future date. Maybe they were tacitly admitting the ridiculousness of dating an inert [and useless in this case] mask by taping over the expired date. So who’s the bigger fool: we, who chastise them for changing the date? or…we who believe that changing the date on a useless mask makes one whit of difference?
I guess it’s us either way.
Yes, that is an EXCEPTIONALLY creepy letter. It is SO mealy-mouthed; if you want to make a threat just be honest and make your threat. I think that kind of thing proves they knew they were on marshy ground and didn’t really have a leg to stand on. Anyone who has right or might on their side can just come straight out with it, so they knew they were bullshitting. It’s like gaslighting disobedient doctors.
As for living under a patriarchal regime there is a third option to either being infantilised or acting like a truculent two year-old, and that is ignoring the parental figure and just going quietly about your business. Throughout the entirety of COVID I didn’t wear a mask, went where I wanted and only paid attention to ‘rules’ I had to be seen to make lip service to. Initially I did try to reason with people, asking the to just THINK about what they were saying/doing, but to give just one example of how this went down: I was on a forum on the local Nextdoor website. Unbelievably, this was a resident complaining about people parking to go walking along the River Almond. People had free time on their hands so of course the not-so-terrifed took the opportunity to go strolling. This woman was FURIOUS. And I mean livid. She was angry at them for parking in front of her house in bigger numbers than normal; she was angry at them for daring to be outside; she was angry at them for mingling, and possibly for enjoying themselves. She got into such a frothing rage she started declaring that they were endangering her life and the lives of all the poor (i.e. decidedly wealthy) people who could afford houses in Barnton (Edinburgh) because, and this was by NO means an untypical statement, they were polluting her hedges. Yep, she thought the virus would be spread by the people parking close to her hedges and the sheer volume of folk would just infect everything within the radius of her house. Bear in mind, this is a wealthy, presumably well-educated woman.
I started out pointing out the errors in thinking behind these ideas but was VERY quickly put in my place as a ‘Covid denier’. Within hours it became a pile-on, with all these other women (sadly, it was predominantly women) piling in to show her the support she needed against the ‘troll’ (I was a troll so often during lockdown I very nearly considered moving under a bridge). It became a huge verbal fist-fight and eventually Nextdoor either received SO many complaints about me or their own admin thought I was very wrong, to say you couldn’t catch Covid from a hedge, that I not only had my comments removed but they banned me for thirty days. I was allowed to read all these virulent posts backing up Covid-through-hedges but wasn’t allowed to debunk them in any way.
It was one of several such run-ins in the early days and I was routinely removed, banned, insulted, etc, etc until I reached a point where I just stopped doing it. I began to feel like I was the only sane person on the planet. And to put that into further perspective, I was never a conspiracy theorist of any sort and in fact told people off for being anti-vax in general (I was anti the Covid vaccine, because it was ridiculously untested but got called an anti-vaxxer so often it was very not funny), and I also defended the possibility that it was not a manufactured virus, but just an act of God. I still think the whole ‘made in Wuhan’ thing is predominantly born out of racism (the filthy Chinese trying to kill the white races) more than solid evidence. But I’m telling you thins only to show that all I ever asked was for people to THINK – as in, how did going one way round a supermarket, full of HUNDREDS of people, stop the spread of an airborne virus? But folk weren’t having it and I just gradually shut up. I stopped posting, I avoided arguments and I kept my head down. In fact, I think the clincher for me might have been my long-running defence of you on Wikipedia when they removed your entry, where I also got banned, several times, but don’t quote me on that. It was EXACTLY like living in a totalitarian state and at times a bit unsettling (travelling on completely empty buses in the early days) and very often enraging (the queueing to get into supermarkets and the one way system shit really pushed me over the edge).
But people often wonder how things like the Holocaust are allowed to happen, and my life during Covid is exactly how. I started out complaining and resisting and trying to show people what was wrong with their thinking, and eventually I learned to just shut up and let them get on with it, no opinions from me. Good people keeping quiet personified.
Great blog – and that’s all I’m saying.
MK’s comments about the GMC remind me that my many letters to senior politicians and docs explaining to them how the med profession had been encouraged – during covid -to trash informed consent ( see the Montgomery judgement of the UK Supreme Court and the GMC advice on consent ) and had thus acted illegally, unethically and outwith the Nuremberg Code, received no acknowledgements – and no referral to the GMC.. When I repeated those explanations to the GMC they replied politely, but did not answer my questions. Perhaps they realised I was well retired, on an NHS pension, and could not be alarmed by a referral to the RO, or worse ? I remain on the GMC non prescribers register – non prescriber as I no longer do appraisals. Incidentally, HCQ and IVM work very effectively if given in the early stages of covid – see ” The War on IVM ” for more details.
I can’t pretend to understand most of the minutiae of what’s written here.
Doesn’t matter, because I CAN understand what Malcolm says: think for myself and question everything ‘handed down’.
I was still a practicing GP in Australia at the time of the vaccine rollout.
I remember trying to convince my partners that we couldn’t possibly obtain fully informed consent from our patients as there was no long or medium term data. I also remember bringing up symptoms of myocarditis related to vaccines.
I was very much in the minority of one, and felt completely isolated. I stopped giving vaccines to anybody, but was reprimanded by the owners for informing patients of the possibility of myocarditis, as this might induce vaccine hesitancy. Arguments with colleagues (although I now don’t really think of them as colleagues) regarding the safety of the vaccines in pregnancy, led to being further sidelined.
I asked one of our local labs about the cycle threshold being used for the PCR tests. The microbiologist I spoke to at least had the grace to sound a bit uneasy and tentative when telling me they were running the tests at 43 cycles on government advice. She wouldn’t comment on the likelihood of false positives, despite the advice of the test’s inventor, Kary Mullis.
Our TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration), ATAGI (vaccine advisory), and AHPRA (GMC equivalent) all pushed the high CT count, vaccines “Safe and Effective”, and any dissent to be crushed, with numerous doctors deregistered.
The State governments cracked down hard, with lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing, and compulsory vaccines, with some measures being enforced with police brutality. Despite denials, no jab no job, to me is coercive. All with the general compliance of the medical profession, who completely ignored their Hippocratic oath.
This was the norm throughout Australia. I have to disagree with your thoughts that this was not really a plan. I would like to believe that it was organised by Big Pharma simply for money, as they have form in criminal activities, but you have to consider wider involvement.
As usual , thank you for your considered opinions and very logical conclusions. Would that those in charge showed even a smidgen of your critical thinking.
Lastly, congratulations on your legal win. Not sure of the process, but if you can, screw the bastard/S for every penny you can get.
I repeat my two-stage strategy.
(i) We must alter the incentives of the ruling class for next time.
(ii) Therefore arrest, charge, try, convict, sentence, hang.
And I don’t mean simply hanging Boris and Matt Hancock. Great swathes of the top of public health, and medicine, and the NHS should go too.
Even Sir Greased Piglet who, whenever Boris imposed something stupid, demanded it be done for longer, more widely, and more harshly.
Further down the pyramid there should be confiscation of pensions and of wealth. There should be jail sentences and if we lack enough jails give ’em tents and send them to St Kilda.
If we do not punish now why should we expect the swine behave better next time?
Covid 19 is just the Flu rebranded! Walter Cronkite was part of the kabal said any ability to achieve world order before the coming of the messiah must be by the work of the devil. That is what the whole thing was the work of satan. People turned against each other is spiritual warfare! Masks are mind control like communist China! Whatever they tell you to do from now on don’t do it! F them fascists!
An interesting viewpoint
Now now, Malcolm … [grin]
They are both communists and fascists? AND Satanists to boot. Reckon you’ve covered all the (contradictory) bases there….
I would go a step further than you and say that, yes, all of this was quite deliberate and organized. On the principle that even a stopped clock is right twice a day, I think it highly unlikely that the ruling elites in so many countries could have made such uniformly bad decisions merely out of chance or incompetence – you would have to plan it to get everything so consistently wrong.
I heartily agree with your point about trust. Society runs on trust. And our supply or trust is rapidly depleting.
There is a simple alternative to the ‘plan’ thing. Politicians are cowards. They looked at what other countries were doing (with China being the seminal one) and basically said to themselves, if we don’t take the same sort of actions the public will say we aren’t doing our jobs to protect them and will have our heads. In the beginning there was little information, but boy was their ever panic! I think the panic was the real pandemic. Once stronger and stronger actions were taken (see, we care more because we put in X) it came to a point where if they were to admit that their previous — and damaging — actions were hogwash, the public would REALLY have their necks. So they double down. Like the old joke about a doctor bleeding a patient to try to cure him, the patient was getting worse so the obviously he needs to be bled some more!
And then the virus subsides, as they tend to do with time, so they can all pat themselves on the back and tell themselves (and anybody who will listen) what a great job they did. They swung their arms to keep the elephants away — and look: no elephants!
Was Covid just rebranded flu though?
I am sure that some of it was, not sure how much
During covid flu disappeared. Where did it go?
I guess it was locked down …
In the safe, for the next time.
Yes. Rebranding the ‘flu has occurred every so often to boost falling pharma sales. It is a standard business practice.
What is causing excess dearths all over the world?
Singapore is horrific, it is running at about 40%
It is a difficult question to answer, for sure. I did predict that lockdown could lead to increased deaths rate do to a number of factors. Using the breakdown of the soviet union as a previous example of massive social upheaval, stress and financial anxiety as a probable cause.
This was covered in Spiked magazine June 2020. Where I was quoted:
I have looked at the impact of social upheaval in the post-Soviet Union countries in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Russia had five million excess deaths in that period due to economic problems. That is how powerful the effects can be. We are going to see the downsides of lockdown policies around the world.
It will probably be okay for Britain – we will be a bit worse-off for a while. But some countries in Africa, South Asia and South America are just going to obliterate themselves trying to model their response to Covid-19 on a lockdown they just cannot afford. South Africa is already bursting at the seams. We have to look at this with a global perspective. This is going to be extremely costly and destructive of huge sections of the population. https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/06/26/the-lockdown-is-causing-so-many-deaths/
Yes, as I like to point out to anyone listening. I was saying this stuff, right from the start. Four most annoying words in the English language ‘I told you so.’
April or May 2020 I was castigated on facebook by people I know for merely saying there should be a cost-benefit analysis of the forecasted effects of locking down or not. I knew from the start it was bollocks but just tried and failed in a polite way to get people to think
“Yes, as I like to point out to anyone listening. I was saying this stuff, right from the start.”
Indeed you were.
The excess deaths do correlate with lockdown severity but they also seem to correlate with the level of vaccination. maybe it is a bit of both and/or some other unknown, we just do not know but no government that I am aware of has tried to find out.
It won’t be possible to come to get to the right conclusions about what happened if you don’t start from the fact that it was planned in advance.
“They” haven’t just been proven liars when dealing with unexpected events, they have been caught conspiring to act using lies. The official inquiry into the 2003 Iraq invasion found that the powers-that-be, including the media, made up utter laughable bollocks to gather public support for what they were about to do. Although it was worded slightly differently.
The international coordination of the covid bollocks right from the start could not have been so tight if it was not planned. There would have been more, or at least some, hesitation around the world if there had not been direction in advance to avoid the “eh, you seriously want us to say that” type discussions.
In addition:
Fauci literally said a couple of years earlier that there was a pandemic coming
There was a weird filmed exercise in autumn 2019 involving Bill Gates where they gamed a scenario of a corona virus starting in Wuhan and spreading around the world.
That weird 2012 olympic ceremony about a virus with the inflatable Boris Johnston in a hospital bed, you have to see it to believe it.
The early interview with the ex-UN lawyer who had actually read (unlike any MPs who voted for it) the totalitarian Coronavirus Act saying that there was no way that it could have been prepared so quickly.
The public being told just to hide under the bed and wait for the vaccine when they could have been told even simple ways to get healthier in preparation, and doctors reportedly offering zero advice to patients (except “take a paracetamol”) until it got to the dangerous stage…How could they have known that vaccines that they could claim with a straight face were “safe and effective” were around the corner if all previous attempts at producing coronavirus vaccines had failed, and to do so in a fraction of the time it actually takes for vaccines to be rolled out? Only because it was planned.
Interesting that you should write that people “still to this day” believe it was planned as it only gets more obvious looking back, and I have never heard anyone say they used to think it was planned but now think it was just bumbling idiots and liars somehow managing to score 100% of everything wrong in the heat of the moment.
Well said.
You are right. Not only did they “make up laughable bollocks” to support a war in Iraq, they blew up stuff & people in Europe (Madrid trains 2004, 3 tube trains and a bus in London 2005) to keep up the fear of ‘Islamic terrorism’ which started after they also blew up the WTC during 9/11. These events are all connected and form a continuum of deep state sponsored terrorism of which ‘The 2020 medical crisis’ was just the latest manifestation, unless you count the war in Iraq which was another psyop and money laundering operation.
They are expert at it and for some odd reason the public are so dumbed down, even if you put the evidence of the deception of these events before their eyes they look away, there is cognitive dissonance which will not allow most people see that their governments are not there to protect them but to exploit them.
Following the money is a good strategy to find the criminals.
‘The way I am feeling now is that we are being herded like a flock of sheep towards disaster…‘
As far as I can see, what Carlsson was complaining about was that he was NOT “being herded like a flock of sheep towards disaster“.
Dr Kendrick, I am puzzled by your apparent belief that there was no conspiracy. How, then, were “vaccines” produced in months that should have taken at least 10 years to create and test? (Not to mention that no previous attempt to make vaccines for such viruses had been successful at all).
Even more worrying, on the reasonable assumption that the “vaccines” took longer to create, those who did the work must have known all about the Covid virus long before 2022.
In view of the “interesting” parts of the Covid genome – the furin cleavage site and the claimed resemblance to HIV – it does seem likely that it was designed rather than entirely natural. So we have a virus probably designed in a lab long before 2022, and “vaccines” claimed to work effectively against it that appear in a few months…
Doesn’t it seem possible, at least, that virus and “vaccines” were designed together as part of a single project?
I can tell you how the vaccines were produced so quickly – they completely ignored the extensive testing any pharma product goes through, especially things like vaccines. There was no big conspiracy, they just rushed out a ‘drug’ without testing it. Big Pharma is capable of doing that at any time. With anything. For anything. It’s their job.
I’m with you.
Dear Dr. Kendrick, I have a few friends who believed this from the start, but my faith in the progress of the pandemic was only broken by Johnson’s volte-face on how to respond to it, followed swiftly by all the appalling measures that were then applied and the way most responded to them. I could see that too many were grateful for these directions -the mother and child in matching face masks before the obligation to wear them became general , the friend who told me I should do what I was told as ‘pandemics’ were his field.
The local hospital and GP surgeries closed and emptied, the scandalous suppression of Ivermectin as an anti-viral aid were all patently the wrong things to do. Thank goodness my wife told me I could exempt myself from the mask business which we promptly did. Your account of the re-labelling of medical equipment -just plain nasty. Still, like you I don’t believe we went through a plandemic, more a series of almost hysterical and stupid governmental overreactions, supported and encouraged by newspapers and television.
Thank you for your analysis and account of your personal trials. I did always know there were sceptics like myself out there somewhere.
All the best, Bill

Many thanks for your post and your own testimony re out and about, the GMC and the masks fraud. I keep saying so much of the COVID nonsense was about fraud and money laundering/transfer., indebting countries.
Re “…the public are so easily led and plain stupid.” Covid proved that so many were and still are., but it has been a long dumbing down process.
Re Sweden, the care homes were locked down and residents died neglected from reports I saw.
re “instead, I believe that the motivations behind (most) of those in charge were benign, if paternalistic.”
It was planned from the top but let the corrupt and/or willing idiots do the ground work, exposing the mini Hitlers in our midst. There were no benign intentions except perhaps to wake up the sane from their sleep which many of us have.
Re Masks, it is worth mentioning as somebody pointed out that if the masks were contaminated with the so-called virus why were they not disposed of as contaminated waste? So many were just thrown to the ground to pollute the environment.
Planned? The pcr tests for the unknown virus were designed in advance. Likewise the instant new-technology vaccines, announced before there was any pandemic. The propaganda and lies predated the pandemic (disclaimer: I don’t accept there really was a pandemic, I do recognise there was an unusual pattern of illness.)
And everything was deliberate. It wasn’t governments panicking and making stupid mistakes. Banning repurposed treatments wasn’t a mistake, it was all part of the plan to make all us plebs queue up for the transfections. The coordinated censorship didn’t just arise spontaneously.
Apart from that, I totally agree with everything.
I think it was all about the money. Pfizer was manufacturing Covid vaccine at $1.50 a shot and selling it at $10 to $20 a shot, depending on how desperate the buyer was. That gives an enormous profit margin. Plenty of money to spread around on lavish dinners for government officials, signing bonuses, finder’s fees, donations to charities of their choice, assistance in ensuring entry of children to good universities, bursaries, and job offers for relatives, etc etc etc. And of course plenty of incentive to keep the money train running by banning alternative treatments and keeping the population demanding more shots out of fear.
they provide out of date and inadequate ppi and pressured everyone in being vaccinated, the latter I accept was for the greater good of all, but I would the expect them to pay full compensation to all health workers who either died or got long Covid and to pay full compensation to everyone badly affected by the vaccine. If you follow governments advise I expect the government to take full responsibility for when things go wrong.
There are very many reasons to believe what happened in 2020 was an entirely political event and had nothing to do with health and everything to do with money and social control.
Some of these FACTS have been mentioned in other comments and I am disappointed that you have not seen fit, as a self confessed sceptic, to address any of these points either at all or thoroughly.
But here they all are:
– The 2019 EVENT 2O1 – the clear signature evidence of a false-flag operation. They almost invariably do some kind of simulation beforehand – same for 9/11, 7/7, Manchester Arena etc etc This is just so boring to even have to mention
– The lack of demonstrated epidemiological ‘spread’. D Rancourt study already mentioned. If as you say, xs all cause mortality data is unreliable then so must be the claimed ‘Covid dead’. There is no study or measurement anywhere that evidences any kind of progressive ‘spread’. Instead only these ridiculous ‘standout’ mass casualty events in certain ‘demonstration locations’ such as Bergamo, NYC, Madrid, London and a few other places when NOTHING was happening in nearby places. And we, the dumb public are supposed to believe that this is how the pathogen behaves!!!
– certainly in Bergamo and NYC the astronomical number of those claimed ‘taken’ by the ‘novel pathogen’ over a matter of a few weeks ( 6,000 in Bergamo & 27,000 in NYC) cannot even be confirmed by death certificates for the alleged deceased. How convenient is that? See detailed work of J Engler & Jessica Hockett for this.
– the PCR test as everyone in the ‘resistance’ knows’ is entirely unsuitable and was never even designed to evidence an ‘infection’. Therefore there is no way of determining how many people died of an alleged novel pathogen when so many were being labelled ‘*ovid’ death on basis of PCR. The word for this is ‘pandemic fraud’
– then there is the large cooperation between governments, corporates, NGOs and other shady actors known as the ‘pandemic preparedness industry’. It was ready and primed just as ‘*vid’ appeared to respond with ‘military countermeasures’ to new ‘security threats’. Well, that was something novel and very lucky to have been in place just as the Corona event got going. And the military swung into action with NATO generals running the show in several of the large countries in Europe. https://odysee.com/@shortXXvids:e/Medical-Rapid-Response:f
I am still not quite sure what exactly you were trying to say in this article. Perhaps you could consider revisiting this topic again and address some of these very obvious pointers to a ‘plandemic’.
None of the things you have listed here are proof of a ‘plandemic’. Most of them are negatives (like claimed death rates), as in you can’t prove a negative. The rest can be explained just as easily as human stupidity mixed with government arrogance. Never underestimate how stupid a government can be. Even Hitler was stupid enough to invade Russia when history clearly showed what a bad idea that was. And Boris Johnson was no Hitler; I’m afraid a plandemic’ was well above his pay grade.
Well done Malcolm – you’re a star and your humorous style keeps us captivated till the end. I never bought into the vaccines and was avoided by my husband’s family who thought I was reckless and a danger to their health. Alas my husband (although loving your posts) didn’t desist from the jab and boosters..his bowel cancer in remission returned with a vengeance and he passed away over a year ago. I’m interested as to whether you think Turbo Cancer exists? Also here’s new book on Big Pharma that may interest your readers – https://www.wynstonespress.com/Medicine-in-the-Stranglehold-Of-Profit-IA4006.html
Dr. Kendrick,
After these 5 years and reading through all what happened, I believe there is something else you doctors fail to discuss. Very much like that virus vs terrain argument. You ably describe all the lies we were told and then proceed to use all those facts as an explanation for why someone believes there was a conspiracy as you do not believe there was one.
I will state what you are missing at the end of my comment, if you please allow me to proceed further.
I live in Mexico and had to travel to Uruguay during, Dickens’ dixit, “the worst of times… the age of foolishness”. Fortunately, our travel happened on December, 2020, so we were not required to innoculate ourselves with something they call the V word. As part of the procedure of incoming travellers, in Uruguay we were required to swab ourselves to leave our quarantine after arrival. Swabbing determined that me and my son were positive to C virus. As I have previously shared with you, the very day they performed that swabbing I lost my olfactory sense. Back to Mexico, visiting my son’s pediatrician, she stated that, fortunately the V-word was now available and we could now receive one. It was only then I realized something was not right; I argued with her to no avail.
Now, both countries, Mexico and Uruguay are a part of what is called Latin America which is part of the Global South. There is something we have a problem here with: we think that if the blond guy says so (the white guy ask themselves to be called), it must be true. We did not even know “corn flakes” existed, once the blond people begun saying it was the healthiest thing, our kitchens were stacked with it. Now, the blond guy is not to blame for it, I know. It is a result of colonization and it is our own problem to decolonize our minds.
What I am trying to say is that we were following Europe and the US in what our countries were doing. Domestically, a lot of people took to government officials to criticize what they were or were not doing, depending of who did you vote for. In Mexico, police officials killed at least one person who was in the street without masks. In some towns where mafia was in control the same mafiosi were the ones kicking the people who dared not to wear a mask. Some voices raised within, Spanish speaking voices, but were quickly silenced by the very same GAFA cartel. All transnational companies implemented “health” policies that matched their corporations in the US or Europe.
As of today, hospitals in Uruguay require you to wear a mask when in the facilities and a teacher at my son’s school asked him to wear one when he was coughing at the classroom.
Rather than asking why so many people believe there was a plandemic, I myself would ask why so many people still believe in masking (and in the V-word, and…).
Tolstoy begins its Anna Karenina stating that “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” He is very right and says exactly what happens in the “there was not a pandemic” team. The virus does not exist, people died through iatrogenesis, the virus was circulating months before it was declared, it was created in a lab, etc.
Now, I will say what, IMHO, is missing in your analysis: the money. The dollar. The euro. Would you care to read Fabio Vighi’s “A self-fulfilling prophecy”? Once money gets into the equation, may be, we begin to see not only the what but the why.
Thank you very much for your writing, dear Doctor. I might be also colonized as I trust your opinion, but I believe you are honest and knowledge-driven.
Totally ignored all of it, wandered about, rode my bike. Even wrote to professor Ferguson indicating how it might play out, laughed at by him, but proved right as history has shown !
Professor Ferguson is in a position to laugh at all of us – on his way to the bank.
Whilst there is plenty of circumstantial evidence of a plan, there is certainly no doubt that there was a conspiracy by most governments and NGOs to profit from the events that appeared to originate in China. The Chinese factor is also a politically expedient event and quite possibly a false flag designed to initiate the following panic.
We are where we are now because of a coordinated, chain of events that could have been stopped but wasn’t.
Professor Martin Neil is the joint author of ”Fighting Goliath – Exposing the flawed science and statistics behind the COVID-19 event” with Professor Normal Fenton.
Their ultimate conclusion – there was no Covid ‘pandemic’.
Prof Martin Neil – The Scottish People’s Covid 19 Inquiry (25 min video)
“The Covid event was created primarily by fraudulent PCR testing, changes to death coding and iatrogenesis.”
So, are you accusing Dr. Kendrick of iatrogenesis in the case of two of his patients with covid symptoms who died suddenly?
Brilliant. I was at the Edinburgh rally and listened to what you had to say. I knew what the government was doing was incredibly wrong and I lost two friends for not following the crowds and not wearing masks or staying indoors. I’m not a rebel, just standing up against the threat of tyranny and a world that I would not want to live in. I used to trust the state but after lockdown, never again. The population were sleepwalking while we tried to defend their rights and then they shouted at us for it. I’m still angry. Deep down I’m still angry at the foolishness of the population. God help us when ‘they’ pull the next stunt, as they surely will.
I remember well your GMC blog. I’ve told you before my dad was a consultant so the sheer horror of that stuck with me. I’ve also quoted your post to unbelievers who largely (very largely) refuse to accept.
On the plus side, I recently turned 65, but feel considerably older. So I took your advice and peeled back the label and find I’ve only just turned 55. If nothing else you’ve made a porky little Lancastrian feel much better. Thank you.
thank you, again and again. A sane voice in the crowd of insanity and sheer madness and stupidity we have all endured..
Thanks Malcolm for your courage and tenacity, have been a follower since the Statins debacle,
Another gem.
The women behind life-saving Covid vaccine trials
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1jp3l158ljo
With:
Scientists at the OVG had developed a vaccine prior to March 2020 but had to rapidly speed up the testing and production schedule from years of trials, to just months.
Measures like wearing masks and washing hands helped to slow the spread of the virus.
It was linked with a rare side effect that caused a type of blood clot that in November 2022 was associated to 81 deaths.
The University of Oxford says the vaccine saved 6.3m lives, external in the first year of the global vaccine rollout – the most out of all the vaccines in circulation at the time.
I just note that deaths are the tip of the iceberg.
Do we have a list of names of those saved? From health statistics it looks like more death and disability after the vaccines came into widespread use in 2021.
Needs BBC Verify onto this.
I just got yet another invite for the NHS spring COVID-19 vaccine, “because you are aged 75 or over (or will turn 75 soon)”. Odd that in spite of knowing my name it does not know that turning 75 is a distant memory. I suppose it’s that fantasy of data security. I read through it this time and found that I can choose not to get more. A good example of data confidentiality I had recently is communicating with my GP. In the past I sent him an email, and got a reply if needed. I guess that was not secure so now I have to ask for a ‘link’ from reception operated by some third party into which I can put my message, which goes to reception to pass on to my GP. Very confidential.
Most people I am sure will find it incomprehensible to acknowledge that the BBC is the epitome of Orwell’s Ministry of Truth (except with the pleasant distraction of a few light entertainment shows like Strictly Come Dancing)
“I read through it this time and found that I can choose not to get more”
The notion that you have no choice came true in parts of the USA and, temporarily, in UK care homes. I think some UK univs. may also have forced students, post-docs., lecturers & profs to get it. Fascists.
I’m coming to think it’s part of the eugenics movement, mixed up with other deeply nasty tendencies. Read up on ‘Operation Paperclip’.
If the UK succeeds in introducing compulsory ID cards, along with a digital currency and an end to cash, most people will have no choice but take their state-prescribed medication in order to buy food. I hope and expect it fails but it needs more of a resistance movement. The organisation Together Declaration seems our best hope.
of course, on the positive side, how does one think a digital ID and/or currency is going to work in mad Milliband’s world where there is energy rationing ? Ever tried buying something at Tesco’s when there’s a power cut or charging your EV ?. Consider the recent fiasco at Heathrow. The two policies of net zero and digital anything are diametrically opposed, which suggests at some point sanity must prevail.
Indeed. John M Greer has referred to the ‘Great Reset’ plans as ‘The Great Re-hash’.
Bear in mind that Mao called his madcap 1958-62 scheme ‘The Great Leap Forward’.
What could possibly go wrong with this one …?
Dr Mike Yeadon recently posted a comment on a Substack article which is an excellent summary of the case against virology and why it should be regarded as a pseudoscience. Where I disagree with him is when he claims that this has come about due to deliberate fraud. Personally I am of the opinion that the vast majority of those who work in the field of virology and those who defend it are sincere in their belief that they are performing actual Science even when it should be clear that the methods they have deployed are not Scientific.
“There is no scientific evidence for the existence of viruses That’s the position I’ve reached. Initially, it seemed an absurd notion, because of the horrifying implications (which include organised fraud over several decades on “viruses” themselves as well as meaning many diseases were misattributed, that contagion must also be fraudulent and have alternative explanations & finally that all vaccines with the possible exception of those against bacterial toxins, such as Tetanus, are also wholly fraudulent.
It’s not necessary to be a scientist in order to understand the evidence that led me to my current opinion.
The claim for their existence rests upon several techniques which could be termed “pillars”.
These are routinely used & have become widely accepted as “the kind of information that’s needed to validate the existence of a new virus.
Pillars include “isolation” in which oddly enough, no separation whatsoever is involved. On the contrary, isolation in virology involves adding a sample purporting to contain the claimed pathogen to cells in culture and watching these calls die, described as a “cytopathic effect” (CPE).
What you’re never told is that the cells have had their culture conditions altered in several ways, such as starvation of essential nutrients and addition of drugs, claimed to be required to prevent bacterial infection of the culture, which however are directly toxic to the starving cells. We know this because control experiments are never conducted, in which all steps except adding the claimed virus are done. The results of such control experiments are simply missing from every paper, or its stated they were done yet nothing happened to the cells, so it MUST be die to the new virus!
The scientific method has been breached since 1956 in the fake discipline called Virology. The key journals must be controlled by those in on the fraud, because everyone I know who had ever been a peer reviewer would decline to consider the manuscript on the basis of failings of the most serious kind.
There are a handful of other pillars, such as claimed visual identification using a special kind of microscopy, called “Electron Microscopy” (EM).
The objects, if they existed, are claimed to be so tiny that they remain invisible to the human eye, even magnified to the optical limits inherent in “Light Microscopy”, the kind you might have peered down at college. The most important thing to know about the results of EM, which are images assembled by computers from beams of electrons fired at the prepared sample, which has been distorted beyond recognition by being coated with platinum, gold or other materials, are simply declared as “a virus” by the investigator.
There is no evidence linking the objects visualised by EM and a disease, or a genetic sequence or anything at all. Some call this “the point and declare” school of virology. Because nobody has ever really “isolated a virus”, using techniques that pass muster using the scientific method, there is simply no basis to claim that anything seen on an EM images is a particular thing.
Genomic methods make up at least two other “pillars”, and in here we find PCR, a method for amplifying the amount of a gene sequence (the method originally invented by Kary Mullis). It is not valid to use this method to then declare that a sample “contains virus X”. It’s circular logic. Recognise we cannot know what the genetic sequence of a novel thing is. Yet “probes” are designed in order to amplify particular sequences on the grounds that “the new virus is thought to be related to a previous family of viruses called “virus A”, “virus B” and “virus C”. Since neither A, nor B, nor C have ever been isolated, I hope you can immediately see the circularity of this.
The PCR method in any case picks out only 2 or 3 tiny pieces of the claimed “full length genetic sequence” of the purported virus. Further sequencing is done on all the other pieces sitting, it is claimed, between the pieces that were claimed to have been identified by the PCR method.
What you end up with are hundreds of thousands or short pieces which could have derived from anything including the animal or human from which the original sample was taken, or from bacteria or fungi present in that sample.
It’s impossible to assemble this molecular jigsaw & what is now introduced is computer trickery called Next Generation Sequencing, which assembles all the huge number of short pieces in every conceivable manner by means of common ends to the short pieces, a technique of assembling “Contigs” (potentially overlapping or contiguous endings).
The permutations & combinations that this software can yield are nonsensical unless you constrain the “full length sequence” in some ways.
As soon as you apply limiters (such as conditions, requirements and exclusions) you’re not discovering anything, you’re MAKING it up.
Contagion or transmission is another “pillar”. Clinical symptomatic transmission has never been demonstrated for any claimed “viral illness”. Not one.
I could go on but here’s the key point:
Anyone familiar with the absolute minimal requirements of the discipline of the scientific method for examining the physical world soon realises that EVERY single one of the evidential “pillars” is not only invalid nonsense but it’s knowing fakery.
The person doing it knows key controls are missing. The reviewer knows that none of the lodged genetic sequences have valid connections to anything in the real world & the journal editors must be in on this long lived, systematic fraud.
I will have missed some “pillars” but I hope you’ve at least understood my realisation that these are not of stone but pretend supports of papier mache, assembled to create an illusory world.
I don’t want anyone to “believe me.” Science doesn’t care about my or your beliefs. You can however verify any or all of what I’ve said here.
I recommend anyone who understands the scientific method well enough to review the evidence for themselves.
I put it to you that, having done so, you realise that the answers to many other questions become completely obvious: all claims made by the authorities about viruses, illnesses claimed to be caused by them, their transmission, their treatment and all vaccines are definitely, unambiguously, deliberately lies.” Dr Mike Yeadon (22 March 2025)
The virus ‘pillars’ are the part of the sacred temple that is part of the foundation of fraud that is virology – as we led to understand it. Virology is but a temple of cards built on a bed of ever growing but shifting sand with its own oracular gobbledegook parroted to draw in the congregation(s) over the threat of ever growing pestilence. Viruses? No. Vaccines (yes, maybe for some bacterial infections)? No. It’s just scam-bait and any half-brained vaxxed-up ninny should have worked it all out over these last few years. It’s all become but a big-picture of classic monetized snake-oiled Americana with a world-wide plethora of fawning mimics out-and-about on the make desperately scrambling to climb the greasy pole to wealth and fame. Shane on you. Still, money in the bank, John. Job done. More fool you all. SV40, anyone? We got plenty.
Thank you Lynn for taking the time to share your formidable knowledge on germs, viruses and germ theory.
You mentioned tetanus. The first thing the doctor asks when anyone goes into the hospital with a wound is, “When was the last time you had a tetanus shot?
Once again Dr. Sam Bailey looks at the historical record, in this case tetanus, and asks the question, “Do I Need A Tetanus Shot?
https://drsambailey.com/resources/videos/exclusive-content/do-i-need-a-tetanus-shot/
Even the CDC says that, “tetanus is a clinical syndrome without confirmatory laboratory tests and that clinicians rarely recover the organism from the site of infection.”
Tetanus spores are everywhere but the vast majority of us don’t come down with tetanus from a puncture wound.
Germ theory and the vaccines that issue from its hold on the communal psyche, consistently falls short of the scientific method.
Hi Marjorie, the comment I posted above and the part which mentions tetanus is not my words but the words of Dr Mike Yeadon. I posted it because I think it is an excellent summary of the pseudoscientific methodology used by virology. I am not in complete agreement with everything that Dr Yeadon says, including the tetanus part and his assertion that virology is to a greater degree a conscious deception.
I’m convinced it was planned as is the devastation of farming. They’d love us all to be vegetarians and vegans and feed us their artificially made stuff. We could be told what we can spend our money on. Money from a universal basic income perhaps. It’s not just a plandemic we’ve allowed. There are still things going on. And is the fear factor so strong that we’ll even allow conscription?
There are at least four major challenges facing anyone who embarks on a serious investigation into the ‘no-viruses’ or even the ‘no SARS COV2’ or the ‘No Pandemic’ positions.
I think I would turn much of this back round on yourself, Lynne. Uncertainly is, of course, the essential position of science. But, to suggest that there are no infectious agents, or infectious diseases, requires the dismissal of a great mass of evidence.
For example, it was known from very early on, prior to WWII, that blood transfusions could transmit ‘something’ that led to liver damage/hepatitis. No-one knew what the something was, but eventually ‘antigens’ were discovered. Again, what were these antigens – no-one was certain. But, by about 1970 it was known that the antigen was created by, what is now called, hepatitis B – virus. This could only be transmitted by blood, to blood.
The signs and symptoms and damage were specific to this agent/virus. Once it was screened for, transmission of hepatitis B, through blood transfusions, ceased. Later on, use of factor VIII from blood donors in the US, led to infection by HIV and Hep C (and a few other things). Many of those who received this form of blood product have died – from HIV and Hep C. There was no screening. there is now, and infections via transfusion stopped. The HIV Hep C saga is still playing out the UK, with court cases all round.
I would find it impossible to argue against the fact that ‘something’ was transmitted via blood products to otherwise healthy people who then developed well recognized signs and symptoms of, what we call, viral infections. Hepatitis A, B, C etc. And HIV. This did not happen to one or two people, but thousands. Tens of thousands.
Once the agents were identified and screened for, the illness/damage stopped. Yes, all of Koch’s postulates have never been proven with ‘viral’ infections. But his postulates only really work for bacterial infections, and were created hundreds of years ago. I do not believe they are relevant to today. When he developed his postulates no-one could even see a bacteria.
If you read my blog I think you would accept that I am not someone who follows the official narrative about, almost anything. Or, at least not without an effort to critically appraise it.
I would fully agree that our current understanding of viruses and their interaction with the immune system – and the immune system itself – is still rather primitive. I also fully agree that the ‘terrain’ is more important than the infectious agent itself. Fit and healthy people can bat aside almost all infectious agents. But we still need to look at the concepts of necessary and sufficient.
Is exposure to Sars-Cov2 sufficient to cause ‘Covid.’ No, it is not. For the vast majority, they are unaware they ever got ‘infected’ [Sars-Cov2 is not sufficient to cause Covid]. Is exposure to Sars-Cov2 necessary to cause ‘Covid?’ Yes, you cannot suffer the disease without the infective agent. [It is necessary, if not sufficient].
Were many people diagnosed with Covid actually suffering from influenza – of some other disease. Yes, of course. Did many people with other diseases, who died, then have their deaths recorded as ‘Died of Covid’. Yes, of course.
None of these things disproves the existence of Sars-Cov2. As I have said in my blog. I worked on the front line during 2020, 2021, 2022. I observed closely. I saw a set of ‘new’ symptoms not seen or described before. I saw them before they were described in the literature, or anywhere else. There was a new disease, of that I am certain. Was it caused by a new virus. I struggle to think of any other explanation.
Yes, I think it was someone here, some time ago, who pointed out in response to my saying that I hadn’t had or acquired flu in decades, 1975 in fact, so 50 years and noted that I might have acquired, been infected by it and not realised it. My point is, whether it’s a virus or some other agent that ’causes’ disease, surely the very fact that we have an immune system (can this be proved?) points to the fact that we get sick due to external factors. But clearly, assuming there’s such a thing as a healthy person, ie the body/mind is in perfect homeostasis, devoid of any inbalances, then the likelyhood of getting sick, is very small but surely not impossible, else why do we have an immune system, unless this too is an invention?
More to the point, why do people question the existence of viruses? What is it about the idea of an impossibly small organism, causing a disease that makes people question? Do people who question the existence or viruses also question the existence of bacteria, or, for that matter, atoms and sub-atomic particles too?
I suppose it can also be argued; what possessed people to come up with the idea of viruses, they surely didn’t materialise the idea out of thin air or did they? It seems to me that those who question the existence of viruses, must also question the existence of disease because surely, you can’t have one without the other? Disease implies cause.
@barovsky
You wrote: “else why do we have an immune system, unless this too is an invention?”
Yes, if ‘germ theory’ is an incorrect explanation of disease then the ‘immune system’ as currently described is an invention.
You wrote: “More to the point, why do people question the existence of viruses? What is it about the idea of an impossibly small organism, causing a disease that makes people question?”
Nobody who is sceptical of virology is doing so because they have chosen to believe that ‘viruses’ don’t exist. Rather, the case against virology is that pseudoscience is being used to make the false claim that these so called disease-causing sub microscopic particles exist.
You wrote: Do people who question the existence or viruses also question the existence of bacteria, or, for that matter, atoms and sub-atomic particles too?
No-one is saying that bacteria do not exist because we can see these with a light microscope. What is in dispute is the role that bacteria play in disease and whether they have been proven to be pathogenic in the way that ‘germ theory’ is presented, I would say that the answer to that is no.
Some people do question the existence of ‘atoms’ because they cannot be seen and are implied to exist through models. Even if a model can be used to imply the existence of something unseen, that does not prove existence, since there could be an as yet unknown explanation for that phenomenon.
You wrote: “I suppose it can also be argued; what possessed people to come up with the idea of viruses, they surely didn’t materialise the idea out of thin air or did they?”
‘Viruses’ were indeed invented as a hypothetical construct because of the many failures of ‘germ theory’
You wrote: “It seems to me that those who question the existence of viruses, must also question the existence of disease because surely, you can’t have one without the other? Disease implies cause.”
No-one is saying that disease does not exist, that would be insane! It is vitally important to remember that in Science EFFECT does not prove CAUSE. The existence of disease (EFFECT) cannot be used to prove the existence of ‘viruses’ (CAUSE).
I think you should first check who wrote various things. Some of these are comments you say that I wrote , come from others commenting, not me. For example “I suppose it can also be argued; what possessed people to come up with the idea of viruses, they surely didn’t materialize the idea out of thin air or did they?’ The only comment that is mine, is the first one. I cannot answer questions about what I wrote, if I did not write them.
Dear Malcolm, I think there’s some confusion here as my remarks weren’t addressed specifically to you but to the ideas that are being discussed namely, what causes infection, do viruses exist, the immune system, why do we have one and so forth.
@Dr Malcolm Kendrick. You say I need to check who I am replying to. However, I posted two replies today. One is a reply to directly to your comment (April 2nd 7.31am) the second one was a reply to user Barovsky (April 2nd 7.55am) I have indicated this by starting @Barovsky.
To be fair I think the formatting on this website does not make it easy to have conversations in the comments.
PS: see – https://mestuff.substack.com/p/the-frequency-files
In silico genomics—biological research conducted entirely through computer simulations—has revolutionized genetics. But is this technology simply a tool for analysis, or something more? If genetic sequences are also frequency-based data sets, could in silico genomics be less about mapping DNA and more about cataloging frequency patterns that induce illness? Is what we call a “virus” actually the result of externally applied genetic frequencies, rather than a living pathogen?
Hmmm….
Thank you.
BTW, check out this piece:
https://hartuk.substack.com/p/journal-gatekeeping-lost-faith-in
On her blog, Maryanne Demasi has recently commented that medical journals are increasingly acting as ‘gatekeepers’ to promote ‘established narratives’ but sideline research that challenges the status quo. Many articles containing ‘controversial’ views that initially achieved publication have been promptly retracted.
I have spent a long time pondering how to respond to this reply as, from my perspective, it completely confirms what I wrote in my original comment above. I realise you will, of course, have an entirely different perspective.
I am reminded of the Mark Twain quote: “I was educated once, it took me years to get over it”
I think it is much easier to understand the position of those sceptical of virology/germ theory when you do not have years of medical school indoctrination to unlearn. I state this with heartfelt sincerity and not because I am trying to gaslight you.
You wrote: “Uncertainly is, of course, the essential position of science”
That is true, however the central issue is that there is no actual Science underpinning virology and indeed the notion of infectious diseases. If Science had been conducted properly then ‘germ theory’ would have been consigned to a footnote in history many decades ago and virology would not have even got off the starting blocks.
You wrote: “to suggest that there are no infectious agents, or infectious diseases, requires the dismissal of a great mass of evidence.”
So show me the evidence.
You have presented an explanation which you say is the only thing you can think of which could explain why a group of people became ill and some died. I do not think you have sufficiently investigated whether this story is an entirely accurate representation of what actually occurred, or determined whether it is the only possibly explanation for what occurred.
The only way this story can be true is if there is actual Scientific proof of the existence of and pathogenicity of so called ‘hepatitis viruses’ or ‘HIV’. It is not sufficient to simply assume that ‘everyone already knows this’ (bandwagon logical fallacy) or to assume that virologists must know what they are doing (appeal to authority logical fallacy).
Take any paper claiming to have proved the existence of ‘viruses’, go to the method section and confirm whether what has actually taken place in the laboratory is a scientific validation of that claim.
Many us have now done this and discovered that it is simply ‘turtles all the way down’. Don’t believe me, take a look for yourself.
Built on this foundation of nothing are the so-called ‘tests’ that are used to claim the detection of ‘viruses’. These nonsensical ‘diagnostic tools’ have never been properly validated, have constantly changing parameters and are demonstrably non-specific. This explains why people are testing ‘positive’ in many cases without any clinical symptoms. In the case of so-called ‘HIV’, a ‘positive’ test result can be a death sentence when it leads to a treadmill of highly toxic medication.
An analogy: Imagine I developed a pregnancy test using only a theoretical understanding of pregnancy and at no time used any kind of sample taken from actual pregnant woman. Furthermore, this product is never tested for accuracy by using it on a large group of pregnant women with a control group of non-pregnant women. Instead, this new test is simply put onto the market and then, when it is discovered that some men are testing positive, I claim that this proves men experience asymptomatic pregnancy.
Likewise, the covid phenomenon was only possible because of the use of unvalidated and non-specific ‘tests’ which created the illusion that there was single factor behind all manner of symptoms but most critically also included; no symptoms at all.
In is vitally important to remember that in Science EFFECTS are not proof of CAUSE.
IF, what you personally observed in your patients’ with unusual hypoxia symptoms was a new phenomenon, it needs to be established what was really going on there. I don’t know how or if that will be possible but one thing I am sure of is that widespread belief in the infectious myth represents a massive obstacle to the discovery of what really makes us ill.
“The fact that no credible expert has challenged or refuted the findings of the Baileys, Kaufman, and Cowan speaks volumes. It suggests that the conventional virology paradigm is built on shaky ground and that the idea that viruses do not exist is not only plausible but also worthy of serious consideration.”
https://nzloyal.com/if-viruses-do-not-exist-as-claimed-what-are-vaccines-for/
My understanding is that the Baileys of this world do not claim that viruses DO NOT exist, they claim that they MIGHT NOT exist, or alternatively, if they do exist they MIGHT NOT be the cause of disease.
This is a fairly weak claim which is supported only by criticism of other people’s experiments and observations. They have not performed any experiments themselves to refute the claims of the virologists, not indeed proposed any experiments which might definitively overthrow virology, to the best of my knowledge.
You will agree that the map is not the territory. However, a map is very useful if you find yourself in unfamiliar territory.
A scientific theory is just that, a useful guide in a limited portion of reality. It doesn’t have to be “true”, it just needs to give consistent results, hopefully without contradicting other established branches of science.
The theory that certain viruses cause certain diseases has been very useful, both as an explanation of observations and as an impetus to other sciences like genetics, electron microscopy, DNA manipulation, agriculture, lab practice, etc etc.
Virologists are unlikely to discard their current theories unless the virus skeptics come up with something more useful, and that day seems to be far off.
If that is your understanding then you have misunderstood. The reason why some people choose to say “ ‘viruses’ have never been proven to exist” as opposed to saying “viruses don’t exist” is that the former description is more accurate from a Scientific point of view since you cannot use the Scientific Method to prove a negative.
You do not need to perform experiments yourself in order to be critical of the experiments performed by virologists and to point out that these are pseudoscientific and do not prove the existence of ‘viruses’. Nevertheless, experiments have been carried out by those sceptical of virology as a way of demonstrating that the cytopathic effect, claimed by virologists to be proof of ‘virus’ is false, since it can be demonstrated that identical cytopathic effect occurs in control experiments when no ‘viral material’ is added to the culture. (ie. Stefan Lanka’s control experiments and Jamie Andrews Virology Control Experiments)
Furthermore, the Baileys, Cowan, Kaufman, et al. have outlined experiments which would need to be successfully performed in order to prove that viral theory is correct: The “Settling The Virus Debate” Statement – Dr Sam Bailey
Virology and indeed germ theory have only been useful in the sense that they have generated massive amount of revenue for the medico pharmaceutical industries. It has been an unmitigated disaster for human health.
Yes, virologists are going to be very unwilling to give up on their pseudoscience because their income and reputations are based on its continued existence. That is why I think real change in the way that we look at health and disease is going to come from people setting up independent systems of healthcare away from the mainstream.
For anyone wishing to further investigate the case against virology, the five-part documentary ‘The Viral Delusion’ is a good place to start.

The Viral Delusion Part 5 – Sequencing The ‘Virus’, Without The ‘Virus’ [06.04.2022]
I had a look at Ep. 4, about AIDS. David Rasnick, PhD, Biochemist, features prominently. He was an expert witness in court cases so presumably he knows a thing or two. At 1h25min he relates how he found someone who took electron micrographs of HIV viral particles which he had got from Gallo’s laboratory and was culturing himself. So, yes, viruses DO exist, according to a prominent virus skeptic.
At 1h35 he relates how he and Matthias Rath were present at a conference organized by the then-South African president Thabo Mbeki on the nature of AIDS, and how they were able to persuade him that the HIV virus was not the cause of AIDS and that it could be treated with vitamins and natural methods.
Convinced, Mbeki would not authorize the government purchase of antiretrovirals for issuing to the poor. Instead, they were encouraged to take a combination of garlic, lemon juice, beetroot, and African potato. (Wealthier South Africans purchased antiretrovirals privately.)
As a result of this early failure to effectively combat HIV infection, South Africa now has the worst AIDS problem in the world. We have 8 million infected, 12.8% of the population. Roughly 15,000 new infections every month. In some areas 30% of young African women are HIV positive. (They are automatically tested when they go to antenatal clinics in case they need specialist therapy to prevent the baby getting infected.) — https://www.spotlightnsp.co.za/2025/03/31/8-million-people-living-with-hiv-in-sa-according-to-latest-estimates/
These infections cannot all be due to drug use, or poverty, or anal sex. It is hard to avoid the conclusion that it is due to ordinary unprotected heterosexual intercourse with an infected person which carries a risk of 0.1% to 2% for the virus being transmitted, and full-blown AIDS developing in time if no treatment is given.
Fortunately antiretrovirals are pretty good these days and infected people can expect to live a normal life provided they are meticulous about taking their medication.
The mad, mad, mad world of viruses. Or, to put it more succinctly, stop being a ninny, and get over yourself

Not sure if you had seen but there have been 7 lawsuits published against the defamation website RationalWiki. Malcolm Kendrick’s RationalWiki article still appears quite high in the Google and other search engine results. RationalWiki have about 20 hit piece articles published on “cholesterol denialists”.
If Kendrick was interested in taking legal action, it would be a perfect time to do it and potentially close the website down.

Whatever happened to Sebastian Rushworth ?
He was making useful contributions in his articles, and then gone. Can’t find anything on him anywhere. Does anyone know ?
A good question. I don’t know. I shall try to get in contact once again. Maybe there was no Sebastian Rushworth?
Oh ye of little faith!
I did wonder about that, although in that case there was a live actor who did a few podcasts.
Maybe he was too independently-minded. This assumes that Sweden’s NHS has become as top-down and centralised as the UK’s.
His English seemed too well-written to come from a bot … when he began the blog, anyway. In 2025, anything’s possible and so who can you trust apart from talking to someone face to face?
Maybe there are no virus deniers, either.
I have never seen one. (wink)
@Dr Malcolm Kendrick
Dr Jonathan Engler (also a member of HART) has changed his mind. He no longer thinks there was a covid pandemic or that there was any spreading pathogen. He is also increasingly sceptical of virology as a whole. He previously held a position very similar to yours I think. Perhaps you could have a look at his reasoning for why he has now changed his mind.
Re-visiting HART’S “Virus Model” Statement from 2023….
Whatever your position, you have to account somehow for the new symptoms of covid–silent hypoxia and loss of smell/taste.
You also have to account for the increased mortality in all age groups.
I couldn’t find Engler on the HART members page.
FYI.
“FORMER MP Andrew Bridgen’s libel claim against Matt Hancock can go to trial, a High Court judge has ruled … What exactly had Mr Bridgen done to provoke such a vituperatively worded condemnation? Well, sharing a link to an article concerning data about deaths and other adverse reactions linked to covid vaccines Bridgen had commented: ‘As one consultant cardiologist said to me, this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust.’ “

I like to peddle my own personal (not sure how original) Plandemic conspiracy theory.
Imagine a scenario where a tiny group of insiders, call them the Deep State or whatever you wish, decided they wanted nothing more than to make a boatload of money for relatively little work. (Motive: Greed). They might also have motives to obtain or increase their political power (Motive: Power).
You might even have the broad operation prepared in advance. Heck, it could even be out in the open as a disaster preparedness simulation called Event 201. Prior to the outbreak, no one would care less.
Perhaps you would make some strategic investments in tiny, unknown specialist firms like Moderna who would stand to benefit from vaccine orders, in he event of a crisis,
Ah, but the problem would be, how to start a pandemic? Well, you’d want a virus that was super infectious yet not too deadly. For the average person it’d be pretty much a bad cold or bad flu. Yes, it would cripple or kill some, but that was unavoidable. In fact, the fatalities could be publicized to fan unease. As a bonus, you’d choose a virus that, when analyzed by any specialist, would have the unmistakable earmarks of being of artificial origin. They would know (or be told) to keep their big mouths shut. But their findings would still be relayed in specialist circles. Again, that works to your plan’s advantage.
This could be used to maximize public panic. Plenty of such viruses exist; all you need is to “borrow” one from any of a number of labs. You already have personnel who could in fact slightly customize a virus to your needs.
The only real trick would be deploying the virus and getting it to “catch”. You might have tried ten or a hundred times before without success. But that’s OK, since you have no time constraints. But you were lucky in September 2019. You had cleverly picked Wuhan China for the plausible deniability of the WIV. They had a long track record of doing research on precisely the type of virus you had in mind. In fact, you suspected that once the researchers found out, they would engage in their own attempts at covering up their involvement. Alll the better to keep attention off the real source of the virus.
Any way, that is the gist of my conjecture. Everything else follows: these people already have enormous behind-the-scenes influence with governments, the media, corporations, and so forth. They’d already made their strategic investments.
Planned or not, a tiny group of people profited to the tune of trillions. The world suffered a disruption and body count unprecedented in modern history except something on the scale of a major world war. But what’s a few million deaths in return for a quick profit, as well as expanded power over your subjects?
I have always considered the entire episode as confluence of shared interests along with a hefty dose of “never let a good disaster go to waste” as opposed to a giant nebulous conspiracy.
I wonder if we might not make more progress if we start with our points of agreement and aim to determine whether there is a plan by public health officials that would explain why public health officials told us so many lies.
We could look at the role of chaos agents as a next step.
Anyone remember the masked dancing medics as they struggled with empty wards ?
