The Lockdowns and COVID Rules Were BOLLOCKS!

 

My biggest takeaway from this whole sorry affair?

Those designing lockdown rules, having access to all information, clearly didn't think it was required.

They lived with no fear of the virus, yet spent billions of our money petrifying the country into submission.

Unforgivable.

Lockdowns Were a Colossal Policy Failure

 

Unsurprisingly it is now confirmed that Nanny's lockdowns were a colossal policy failure.

Lockdown saved as few as 1,700 lives in England and Wales in spring 2020, according to a landmark study which concludes the benefits of the policy were “a drop in the bucket compared to the staggering collateral costs” imposed.

Scientists from Johns Hopkins University and Lund University examined almost 20,000 studies on measures taken to protect populations against Covid across the world.

Their findings suggest that lockdowns in response to the first wave of the pandemic, when compared with less strict policies adopted by the likes of Sweden, prevented as few as 1,700 deaths in England and Wales. In an average week there are around 11,000 deaths in England and Wales.

The report authors said their findings showed that the draconian measures had a “negligible impact” on Covid mortality and were a “policy failure of gigantic proportions”.

Johns Hopkins is one of the most respected medical schools in the world and became known during the pandemic for its Covid dashboard measuring cases and deaths all over the world.

The study’s authors conclude: 

“The science of lockdowns is clear; the data are in: the deaths saved were a drop in the bucket compared to the staggering collateral costs imposed.”

The detrimental impact of lockdown on children’s health and education, on economic growth and its contribution to large increases in public debt has become increasingly clear since the policy was introduced.

Nanny Admits Lockdowns Were Wrong

A particularly disgraceful passage by @CMO_England and @uksciencechief.
1. There was no analysis of benefits v harm.
2. It was needed, as was specialist advice.
3. Yet we ‘[had] to rely’ on lockdowns and NPIs - which they relentlessly pushed - despite the above.

Shame on you. https://t.co/2YhFg3xWcl

— Francis Hoar (@Francis_Hoar) December 1, 2022

Nanny was repeatedly warned that lockdowns would damage the economy, people's mental and physical health and education.

Nanny was repeatedly asked if a cost benefit analysis had been performed.

She ignored all the warnings, and now we are paying the price!

Lockdowns Prime Suspect re Rise In Childrens' Acute Liver Disease

 

Less social mixing due to two years of covid restrictions may be a factor in an “unusual” and serious outbreak of acute liver disease among young children, scientists believe.

A total of 74 children in the UK, mostly under the age of five, have contracted a version of acute hepatitis which is not linked to normal strains of the disease, while dozens of cases have now been identified in the US, Europe and Israel. Six children in the UK have required liver transplant.

The UK Health Security Agency is expected to announce more cases shortly.

One line of inquiry by experts is a link to adenovirus, a common cold virus which can cause more serious symptoms including gastrointestinal illness in young children.

Cases of adenovirus in children were far lower than normal in 2020 and remained below the average in 2021, and experts believe it is “possible” that the lack of exposure to the virus in infants due to lockdown may have lowered their immunity, meaning they are suffering worse effects now that restrictions are lifted. 

The more you stop people from mixing, the weaker their immune systems become.

Lockdowns have caused more harm than good!

Nanny's 50 Page Roadmap - Drawn Up by 100 Bureaucrats

 

Whilst things appear to be looking up (if we ignore the rumour mongering in the media about when lockdown will really end), I nevertheless have some feelings of unease.

Apparently the draft version of Boris Johnson’s roadmap out of lockdown is more than 50 pages long and has been drawn up by 100 bureaucrats.

I would have more confidence in this if I could be assured that the bureaucrats had some "real world" experience, outside of the civil service/Westminster bubble.

To compound my feelings of unease, Peston and his ilk are pushing hard for domestic vaccine passports.

Striking that British people seem keener on vaccine passports for reopening the economy than @BorisJohnson says he is https://t.co/gtSLoUKGBz

Heigh-Ho Heigh-Ho It's Off To Lockdown We Go!

 

As we inevitably get pushed into another lockdown by the bleating media, soundbite politicians and those whose salaries aren't affected by lockdowns, do not despair.

Repeat and learn this for prep children:

Covid restrictions do not apply to politicians, celebrities and journalists.

London To Go To Tier 3

 

Handcock confirmed yesterday that London will go into Tier 3 on Wednesday.

It is worth remembering that other countries in Europe are under a stricter lockdown and some, eg Germany, closed their bars/restaurants some weeks ago. Yet they are seeing an increase in cases.

Here are a few points worth remembering:

- The people ordering lockdowns and pub closures will not be losing their jobs and, when this is over, will still be paid and entitled to a nice defined benefit pension when they retire.

- Bars and restaurants are not responsible for the increase in cases (especially in countries where they are already closed!).

- The more restrictions you place on people, and the less opportunity you give them to socialise in clean well ventilated places (eg pubs), the more inclined they are to break the rules.

- Where the pubs are shut, or placed under idiotic restrictions (eg the "substantial meal" rule) people socialise in each others' homes.

- It is clear, based on the petty minded nonsense of some of the restrictions, that SAGE does not understand human nature.

- Households are the prime drivers of infection; as they are not well ventilated, not clean and not socially distanced (unlike pubs and restaurants).

- SAGE will always recommend stricter lockdowns, it has become a scratched record that needs to be thrown away.

Lockdown Has Regressed Education

Unsurprisingly Ofsted has reported that the lockdown has caused a regression in children's' education, eg reading and writing has regressed as has attention spans etc.

None of this is surprising, as lockdowns cause immense harm.

However, what is shocking is that the lockdown has result in issues with children regressing to nappies and no longer being able to use a knife and fork.

There is something fundamentally wrong with a society where parents are incapable of teaching their own children how use a knife an fork!

The Hypocrisy of The Lockdown Zealots

 

The media, certain politicians and the SAGE "boffins" are calling for another lockdown, because the first one "worked so well"!

Just step back a minute and consider these points:

1 Lockdowns don't get rid of the virus (otherwise the first lockdown would have been a great success)

2 Lockdowns cause immense harm (economic, psychological, health - eg cancers not checked, education etc).

3 The costs (economic, psychological health, education etc) of lockdowns will be with us for many years.

It is very easy for politicians, the media, academics and the middle class to call for lockdowns when they can sit at home without having their income disrupted, safe in the knowledge that they will still have:

- Heating

- Electricity

- TV

- Phone services

- Internet

- Food, drink, fags etc

delivered to their homes by others.

However, just bear in mind that during these lockdowns millions of people have to still go outside their homes to work including, but not limited to, the following:

- medical staff

- police

- armed forces

- firemen

- postal workers

- delivery staff

- shop workers

- small shopkeepers

- milkmen

- bus drivers, tube drivers, train drivers, taxi drivers etc etc

- people who provide electricity, gas, water, internet, TV phone services etc

Therefore, when people call for a lockdown it is more than likely those calling for it won't have their livelihoods wrecked or have to continue to go outside of their homes to provide goods and services to others!

Note this well, every single day in the UK between 400-500 people die from cancer. The media don't report those deaths every day as they do Covid. 

I would also note, that as a result of the lockdown those deaths (because people will have ignored symptoms or treatment has been delayed) will increase markedly in the years to come. The same will apply to other diseases.

Lockdowns KILL people and businesses!

Defined paths (this is how things have been done before) and copycat policies are not always the best way to handle situations such as Covid, especially when they make things worse. 

The trouble is, no country or leader will admit that they have got it wrong.

Hence many countries are now doubling down on restrictions that will make things worse.

Media Tries To Force Nanny Into Second Lockdown

 

Yesterday, I wrote that thanks to a Tweet from an idiot on "Independent SAGE", the media ran scare stories about a second National Lockdown.

The idiot subsequently retracted his tweet, and media were forced into a temporary retreat.

However, today the media have come back guns blazing citing "sources" from the real SAGE saying that a two week lockdown is coming.

Nanny, is currently running scared and will be easily pushed into a second lockdown by the media who are intent on wrecking the country.

As if by magic up pops Hancock, more or less saying that there will be another lockdown!

Just remember folks, local lockdowns and "restrictions" (when applied to large swathes of the country) are in effect a National Lockdown!

Lockdowns are the least effective tool against an endemic virus, all they do is kick the can down the road. 

Like it or not we will have to live with this.

Nanny Has Driven Us To Drink

 

Unsurprisingly Nanny's lockdown has driven the UK to drink.

Allegedly the number of people drinking at 'high risk' levels has doubled to almost 8.5million since February, according to the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

Needless to say, Nanny and the media are getting their collective knickers into a twist over the potential knock on effects to the national religion of the NHS which, remember, we are meant to die for to protect it!

Therefore we may expect (sadly) many lurid headlines about the negative consequences of drinking, and for Hancock and the dying embers of PHE to come up with tedious and intrusive rules (eg 10PM curfew) to cut our drinking. 

Remember, if these figures really are true then this alleged rise was caused by Nanny herself!
