I Was Right About The 'Kent Strain' In December 2020, Which We Now Know Hancock Used To 'Scare The Pants' Off Us All
This:
I wrote an article in December 2020, expressing scepticism about the narrative surrounding the emergence of the so called ‘Kent’ variant or strain of SARS-CoV-2 in South East England, which the government used as the excuse to cancel Christmas.
After claiming that cancelling Christmas would be “inhuman”, Scrooge Johnson promptly cancelled Christmas. Then Hancock cancelled Boxing Day just to make sure. Why? Because of a supposedly “70% more transmissible” new strain of Covid which was spreading like wildfire in London and Kent – and now it seems, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Oxforshire. Next year it will probably be everywhere and we’ll all have to suffer the economic and social catastrophe of Tier 4 lockdowns until we beg to be vaccinated (and probably long after that too). The name given to this ‘new strain’ is VUI 202012/01 (Variant Under Investigation, year 2020, month 12, variant 01), or B.1.1.7. Firstly, as the name suggests, it’s not a ‘new strain’, it’s a new variant – and it’s not that new. It was first reported in mid October when two samples from Kent and London sent to the Milton Keynes Lighthouse Lab were genetically sequenced by COG-UK. The dates of the samples were 20th September (Kent) and 21st September (London). Nothing much seems to be known about these ‘patients’. Were they asymptomatic (tested in the community) or did they have symptoms or were they in hospital? I can find no information at present. Had they recently arrived from abroad? That would mean the origin of the new variant might not even be the UK. Who knows.
The other thing is, it’s not a ‘new strain’ as claimed by our clueless politicians and media. To qualify for that status, it would have to have conclusively demonstrated a distinct clinical difference from other dominant strains in circulation, i.e. increased transmissibility and/or enhanced or even lower virulence. So far, despite the claims by NERVTAG and the government, no such evidence has been demonstrated. The claim of ‘70% more transmissible’ is based on modelling and is not backed up by hard data. This virology Professor explains in detail why he is not too worried by the new variant and why the claims by NERVTAG and the government are scare-mongering hype not backed up by hard science and data.
It’s a pretty damning video. He forensically dismantles the claims made by NERVTAG about this being a distinct new strain which has gained an evolutionary advantage over other, less contagious strains, basically stating that you cannot infer biological properties of a virus from limited epidemiological data only and that you must perform experiments in the field. For example, the apparent rapid spread of this new variant may simply be down to super-spreader events as it is well known that 80% of transmissions are caused by 10% of infectious individuals. He also goes through all the changes in the amino acid proteins (in particular the spike amino acid proteins) which are incorrectly called ‘mutations’ – even by the experts – and points out that the ORF8 changes may actually mean that this variant is less virulent. So even if it does turn out to be more contagious and does spread through the community, it may actually be a good thing because it will mean that a greater number of people become infected at less risk and natural herd immunity is attained that much quicker.
The government doesn’t see it this way of course. Nor does the WHO. It’s just an excuse to keep us all locked up for longer, with even more restrictions upon our personal liberty until we are forced to accept vaccination for a disease which to the vast majority does not present a major threat and is about 99.96% survivable. Ferguson doesn’t see it that way either. He was supposed to have resigned from all government advisory roles after he broke the rules of the lockdown which he was instrumental in implementing back in May. But he has now popped back up in NERVTAG and suddenly he’s the darling of the media again and the government are hanging on his every word. He’s warning us about the ‘threat’ of this new variant being transmitted by schoolchildren, bringing kids further under the jackboot of the psychopaths who are intent on controlling our lives. So don’t be surprised if schools are closed in a new lockdown in January on the ‘recommendation’ of Pants Down Ferguson who, it seems, is a turd which just cannot be flushed. The very same Ferguson responsible for the unnecessary slaughter of millions of innocent farm animals in the 2001 Foot and Mouth Epidemic and who predicted 150,000 deaths from BSE, among other catastrophic failures. Being wrong is his speciality it seems, an expertise which apparently qualifies him to give advice to the government on policies which affect all our lives, including voicing his opinion on how other peoples’ kids should have their lives seriously disrupted yet again.
So, after the initial epidemic, which saw many different lineages, they tailed off into late spring/early summer, then genetic diversity increased once again going into late summer/early autumn, as people jetted off on their holidays and returned to the UK. Concurrent with that, we have a large increase in the number of sequencing being done from positive tests across the UK. Is it beyond the realms of possibility that the variant discovered with 17 ‘mutations’ in Kent and London in mid October, from samples donated at the end of September, could have arrived in the UK during September and have evolved naturally in another country, unnoticed, because that particular country was doing very little sequencing? Those two people carrying the virus get tested, their samples get sequenced by COG-UK and hey presto, a ‘new variant’ with an ‘unprecedented number of ‘mutations’ suddenly appears. A few months later, when it starts spreading in the community, for reasons which may have nothing whatsoever to do with the claimed ‘70% increased transmissibility’, Johnson, Hancock, Ferguson, Whitty and Vallance realise they’re onto a winner and use the new ‘mutant Covid strain’ as a perfect excuse to cancel Christmas in the UK with just a few days’ notice.
Published Christmas Day. A bloody miserable Christmas Day, made so by the scare-mongering government, ‘Pantsdown’ Ferguson, and in particular ‘Scare the pants off them’ Hancock. A bleak Christmas where many people no doubt were not able to celebrate the festive season with their friends and loved ones because of the deliberate and malign scare tactics which were used to force ‘behaviour change’.
For my efforts, I was greeted with comments like this, from regular Cliscep readers:
Only two people came to my defence. Thanks Geoff and dfhunter. Not such a ‘conspiracy theory’ now is it Pete?
It sparked a lot of debate as you can see from the very long comment thread. Members didn’t like the fact that I was choosing to be sceptical of something other than climate change. Not allowed apparently, especially when people were dying. Most comments were critical of me and many supportive of the government. The offensive responses from three members in particular were instrumental in my deciding to stop writing for Cliscep.com. Note I also dared to use the Nazi analogy and other ‘emotive’ language and thus was rounded upon for doing so. I am now fully vindicated in what I wrote in that article, the way in which I wrote it and what I said in the comments. Fully vindicated. Though I don’t expect an apology from any of the people who attacked me personally during Christmas 2020 and the New Year.
Razorfist, a hilarious r/w Youtuber, often spins on his chair, flicks the bird and says "fuck you I was right". This is one of the many, many times we "selfish" "conspiracy theorists" can and should do exactly the same to the gibbering sheep excrement who berated us because, unlike them, we didn't stop being human beings and some critical faculties working.
I am a proud "conspiracy analyst" because it's been painfully obvious since at least 2002 that the Cluster-B malfeasants in charge can only lie. My only change since that time is I now realise how many of these utter cunts walk amongst us and not just in the halls of power. Fuck 'em.
We lost pretty much all our extended family over these terrible lies so I understand. The rift, even today, seems permanent.
"But people are dying!!!" was the clarion call of the freshly anointed panicking Covidian. I remember countering with 8,000 people normally die every day of all causes in the USA only to be met with those blank sheep eyes.
We were right about everything, from the very inception of the Madness. I don't know why or how we were chosen to see the obvious lies but we were.
Our victory is a hollow one though with no apologies or fanfare or celebrations. Our only reward seems to be loneliness, more isolation, and now the grim task of burying the needled dead.
