Do I detect a hint of anger in your post?? You have both been astonishingly brave in continuing to show your evidence; plenty would have buckled and gone quiet. I, and I am sure many others, salute you.
I salute you. You have been subjected to depraved character-assassination. It's a wonder you haven't been drowned in a pond or burnt to death. You must be doing *something* right.
My impression is that medicine (if that it is should be called) is a very young subject, that has hardly progressed in 2000 years, beset by charlatans, gangsters and shysters. Mature disciplines are more civilised, and less self-confident.
Ironically, after reading this account of your heroic efforts, I saw that today the journalist Carole Cadwalladr, describing herself as a weapon against misinformation, (who helped create Independent SAGE !) has now set up a Substack to harass RFK and the Trump administration,no less.
So, keep up the good fight, you two old geezers, as you are desperately needed and let's hope your work gets more coverage in the media!!!
"Ideologies are fairy tales for adults." - Thomas Sowell
Wokes and lefties are ideologists. Unfortunately, ideologies pursue ideals - the clue is in the name - and objective, empirical reality is not ideal, so they try to change it. They forget that objective, empirical reality is the way it is for a reason.
Therefore they labour under a massive burden of cognitive dissonance: they are obliged to claim that the world is not as it actually is, and can be changed to become ideal. Traditionally, this has been known as "lying".
So wokes and lefties lie all the time, about almost everything. Not because they are "bad people" but because they must. It is the only way to hang onto their ideologies. This is why their lies always surface eventually.
But then, those who see the lies are accused of having some variant of "false consciousness", the ultimate lefty get-out-of-jail card, and are sent to the Gulag.
thanks Paul; great summary; as someone said: if you tell the truth, you don't need a great memory; these poor folks have to twist themselves into endless contortions to maintain all the contradictions in their head; their brains must be exploding; perhaps we see from their voluminous rage
You guys have been Trojans and maintained your dignity throughout, despite being subjected to do much abuse and smearing.
The tide of history is turning. I don't suppose any of us will receive overt apologies, but only the most zealous will not come to realise that we were correct.
AND through your numrerous media appearances, publications, and this substack, you did wonders! You encouraged, validated, educated, and often entertained a very large number of ordinary people who were sick of being gaslit by the official 'authorities' and 'experts'. Above all, you stood firm for what was right and true - an inspiration to all your readers. Thank you!
Oh I am pleased you have clarified all that and I haven’t been reading two old ghost writers. Yes, Empire’s crumbling so it’s getting a bit crunchie underfoot here and there. It’s amazing how truth trumps lies! I definitely prefer to trust the evidence. I also need quite a lot of help working it all out for myself. So I read your stacks and quite a few others, and lots of books and watch lots of interviews and I have gradually cobbled together what I think is a good handle on life as we know it in 2024… Evidently still require my Poirots and Dalglieshes to nail it. Thankful you don’t disappoint.
I can only add to all the others thanking you for your efforts and helping to keep my sanity in these very worrying times. Sticking your head above the parapet is such a brave thing to do and i just hope one day the mainstream will recognise the wonderful work you have done and continue to do. I trained as a nurse 50 years ago and was taught to question and make sure I understood what I was doing and why I was doing it. So glad you want to keep on going - a breath of sane fresh air every time I read your posts.
That just about sums the past four yrs of attempts by two scientist/healthcare providers with a moral compass, integrity and of course a brain.
Today I was saddened to see GP Dr. Sam White has been struck off for “dangerous” claims about the plandemic. My heart breaks for him. I can think of a handful of UK health advisors to the UK gov’t, over the past four years, that should have been struck off. See how this works? The truth tellers get the sack, while the the misinformers get catapulted to the upper echelons of medicine. Nothing has changed🥲
One story that still needs to be told is how almost the entire UK Public Health establishment remained silent. Yes, they clammed up tighter than a ducks arse. Having worked in Public Health myself, (as a planning manager) I wasn't that surprised - the general level of low intellect in many Public Health departments is only matched by their lack of productivity.

Excellent news, that you'r here to stay! Your articles during the covid years, when actually published, were a bright light of sanity and helped me understand that proper science had not left the room, despite the combined efforts of SAGEs, MsM and 'influencers'.
So I'm glad you're not going anywhere - the inane sciency apologists and fear porn providers are still with us and need their behinds kicked on a regular basis.

Absolutely

I hope readers of this post acknowledge the commitment, persistence, bravery, honesty and integrity you have shown and consider a 'paid' subscription.
This is why i pay. 🇨🇦🥂
Oh my….I LOVE you both. THANK YOU….Integrity, impartiality and sheer bloody mindedness may still have a chance of succeeding! Keep on keeping on….

We need to spread the word grassroots style. To counteract.
Cadwalladr has sound instincts and much courage.

"The tide of history is turning." we can but hope Dan; a bit of work to do in the UK! (Starmer farmer harmer ....)
That's true, but a country moving 'left' in the current election cycle is looking a bit anachronistic... they could be feeling pretty isolated soon.
Thank you for being stand up people.
You are becoming an endangered species.
You have kept me uplifted over the last few years. Also you have given me the belief that there are good people in the world.
Thank you
Same. ❤️

I cannot thank you two enough for you your quest for answers.
Thanks chaps, enjoy a well deserved (socially distanced) drink.

thanks Rob; great observation
"Having worked in Public Health myself, (as a planning manager) I wasn't that surprised - the general level of low intellect in many Public Health departments is only matched by their lack of productivity."
An honest island of scientific questioning and uncertainty assailed by an ocean of dishonest, fearful and government approved certainty and lies.
I hope that is just a line of praise ,not an epitaph.
It is a long,hard road, but the satisfaction of knowing that you were right is very powerful 'vaccine' against the various slings and arrows.
