The “New Strain” Narrative

For those who don’t remember, it was the End-of-Days hysteria of British virologist Neil “Consistently Wrong” Ferguson that sent Canadian and American officials into a panic in the Spring. Ferguson’s track record is abysmal and the revelations about his beyond buggy software code made it unclear how he lined up in the “Stupid or Liar” litmus test.

Though Ferguson is apparently gone, something very strange is now occurring in the UK with alarm bells ringing about a “new Covid-19 variant”. Minister Matt Hancock seems to have been put forward as the mouthpiece of this new narrative:

Given that these people have either been lying all along or truthfully speaking out of ignorance, what’s your theory on what’s going on?

Update: Paul Joseph Watson chimes in!

  1. Fool me once shame on you,
    Fool me twice shame on me!
    Interesting timing as people are catching on with this scam.

    1. Unsurprisingly, the politicians and their Media have been lying from the very start… now more lies.
      This is war. The first casualty of war is the truth.
      It would be a good day if we ever see these western political gangsters working for China strung up in the streets with piano wire, just like Mussolini, the last fascist asshole that imposed Corporate fascism on the world.
      The constant lying from politicians and their Media is “the new normal” gaslighting daily… hey, we live in a world where a majority of the population believe the Government can control the weather through taxation, without any evidence… so yeah, lying works… yep, we”re doomed.

  2. The End justifies the means.
    Unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats are the ones pushing this. They see themselves as our betters, they are trying to “run” a country after all. They won’t suffer one bit staying at home so why would they even care about us serfs?

    1. The US brought the Soviet Union to it’s knees by having a weapons race which broke the bank . China is doing the same thing with the virus against the US.. Once Trump i out of the way the US will collapse.

      1. @AHH!!!
        Give your empty heads a shake. Trump has done the most damage of any president to the security of the USA,FFS!. His recklessness borders on treason. He deserves to spend the rest of his miserable life in jail. However I do think that China is rubbing its hands in glee over the trauma it inflicted on the USA with the virus. But they were helped in large part by Trump’s idiotic incompetent handling of the virus in the early months. Plus he behaved like an idiot all his full term.

        1. Canuck NB
          You’re a cunt.
          A cunt calling someone an idiot is a joke. So you’re a cunt and a joke. You must be a liberal.
          And by the way, Chinada’s handling of the “virus” was worse.

          1. @Buddy:
            I have to address this directly to you for the insulting accusation that I am a liberal. Nope, not a fan of Turdoo, in fact I despise him. I am a common sense conservative. Sadly they are a very rare breed in the good old USA, Trump ruined the GOP. Just for the record, I am not happy with the Canadian conservative choice of leader, they should have done better. Feel free to withdraw that other insulting term you used on me, the ‘C’ word. Apology accepted.

        2. Did Fauci tell you this? Or Newsom before he skulked off to a public dinner?

          Or Cuomo while he herded seniors into nursing homes to die?

          Tell us all about the measures you proposed instead of Trump’s actions.

          Go ahead genius, assuming you aren’t some moron trying to be clever with stupid satire.

          Be specific; not your idiotic nonsense you just posted.

          Another Monday morning QB that doesn’t realize a football of reason is required.

          If you have nothing, which undoubtedly you don’t then STFU.

          Anybody can tell us what the weather was yesterday.

          That is utterly useless but probably as smart as you could ever appear to be.

          IOW nobody cares about your inane nonsense.

        3. Stay away from that mirror Canuckguy,yer MT headed projection could be dangerous..You might injure your delusions and have to start thinking for yourself..
          Back in your bubble where the Orange man can’t hurt yah..

        4. You are a fool!

          Remember when Prez Trump tired to get the government moving on this. The dem-o-rats did all they could to stop him.
          Remember Nancy P telling folks to party on. Remember when he wanted to stop flights from China and they libs called him a (racist)

          So get off your dang soap box.

      2. To All Who Crapped On Me:
        I am not going to even try and reason with you knuckleheads. Anybody who already hasn’t applied to be a card carrying member of the looney QAnon conspiracy wackjobs, please do so now. It will suit your crazed needs. The chimps in the trees have more sense than you lot.

    2. But the politicians are abdicating their executive responsibilities to them. They are “just following expert advice” which is the modern equivalent of the Nuremberg Defence “just following orders”.

      1. What advice are the “expert” bureaucrats following when you hear, “I just read what they tell me”
        Who is they? The W.H.O. using China’s playbook no doubt.
        They should have resigned on the spot, but I guess that $400K per year is hard to give up. The people are not being served by these grifters, they are being robbed and sold out.
        Pallister on TV, voice breaking about being the guy who stole Christmas. A spineless tyrant scared to do the right thing – stop doing harm. He needs to resign and piss off to his pad in Costa Rica – for good.

  3. “We were hoping Trump wouldn’t get a vaccine out for at least a couple years. That didn’t pan out so we came up with plan b to keep you all in chains.”

    If you still trust politicians and bureaucrats to look out for your best interests you are dumber than Trudeau. These clowns all need to be fired. Immediately. And I mean ALL of them. Time for the great conservative reset.

    1. Fired? How about arresting for the harm they’ve done to society? Businesses shuttered for good, suicides, banning HCQ, etc, etc, etc

    1. In one blow:
      Well it’s about time, Montrealers, with your phoney Papineau prime minister who wasn’t even born there, you show him, he sold the rug out from under your feet, and the ROC, that coat stacking sock tucker who’s doing la merde he nevah even campaigned on.

      (Cold enuf, out there for ya?)

      1. When did it come to where they tell us what to do and we not tell them what We want.. I am sick to death of these Quebec Pols telling us whats good for us… !

  4. For those needing some do it yourself conspiracy theories or the Christmas season.
    1. Pfizer CEO announces in August he is exercising a share option on November 9 as he is required to do as an insider. On November 9, Pfizer announces its vaccine against Covid-19. Share price peaks and then declines once it mentioned it has to be kept at -70 degrees
    2. Funny how a new strain is found in the country that is the first to employ the vaccine.
    As George Wallace would have put it, Lockdown today, Lockdown tomorrow, Lockdown forever!

  5. Given that their “cases” are mostly false positives on an improbably ramped up PCR test, which was never meant to diagnose illness in healthy people; the totally exploded myth of asymptomatic carriers; inventing a 70% more infectious mutant cold virus is not a long stretch of the imagination if the political technocratic elite wish to keep the peasants fearful and obedient. I am only surprised that the number isn’t specifically 66,6%.

  6. ” . . . a 70% more infectious mutant . . .”

    . . . sounds to me like a reproductive adaptation that goes along with being less deadly. The virus isn’t trying to kill us, it’s host, that would be silly. It wants to spread, not have no place left to go.

    1. Yeah, not 60%, not 65%, but 70%……….measured how?

      Had to be a number selected to be just scarier enough. Just in time too! This after Ol Blighty had just come out of another lockdown for weeks.

      Boris must have felt he was missing out on shutting down Christmas, envious of all the other countries doing their punitive best to destroy the season.

      Boris and Doug Ford, total CINOs, have forgotten their principles, cuz FEELINGS.

      1. Boris never was Conservative, like his buddy th eother guy who’s dad made bundles out of wind farms by being paid not to generate electricity. AT least he seems to be cornered into Brexit. But we cannot cheer yet, mthere is still a week for the weak to cave.

    2. I think the TinyDickYellows are out spreading Attack#2.. I remember seeing a video early on taken at night in somewhere in Britain of 2 people speed walking past parked cars, wiping down door handles as fast as they could.. caught on security cams.

  7. There is no pandemic. The vaccine is just distilled water, for now, until they get compliance up to the level that they need.
    They’ll pretend that the vaccine works, and why wouldn’t it, given that there is no pandemic.

    So Mary watched Johnny walking around banging two sticks together. Mary asked Johnny, “Why are you banging those sticks together?”
    Johnny replies, “To keep the stampeding elephants from trampling us.” Mary retorts, “You idiot, there are no elephants around here.”
    Johnny states proudly, “See there Mary, it totally works!”

    By the way, Robert, they are lying and they know it. At first they told us the truth, that masks don’t work.
    Then they got their political talking points, that the masks do work. etc.
    It’s socialized medicine, what do you expect?

    Do you know where they got the social distancing number of SIX feet?
    It was decided over 600 years ago, during the Black Death, that the bodies in the mass graves had to be buried SIX feet down. NO, they didn’t have anything even resembling modern medicine. It was just decided. Since then we’ve al taken up the custom of burying bodies SIX feet under for no particular reason.
    That is where they get the social distancing number of SIX feet. There are no medical studies proving it. NONE.

    1. You”re right Oz…
      There is no “pandemic” thats why the federal Liberal party never closed the borders to China and thats why they never imposed their own pandemic protocol when dealing with the supposed “pandemic”… because they knew there wasn’t a pandemic, just a plandemic.
      When will the federal Government and the more corrupt Provincial Governments demand reparation’s from China ?
      Why is Wuhan wide open with no mask mandate ?
      When will the Governments of Turdholeland be held accountable for their disastrous response and their unnecessary heavy handed obliteration of personal freedoms and our civil liberties ?

    2. I used the elephant repellant one when this first started while I was in Florida, some people caught it most did not. I told them I had a flu repellent and I also carried elephant repellent. My response was the same, see, no elephants. Apparently my flu repellent also works, at least for me.

    1. COVID19 hasn’t even been isolated.
      That being the case, they cannot have an actual vaccine for COVID19 and they cannot have identified any mutations either.

  8. Classic Cover Your Ass,technique.
    For we knew that this was a virus from the family that includes the common cold.
    These viruses mutate at such a rate that finding a vaccine has proven,to date, beyond our medical skills.
    Yet faced with mass hysteria,created by their own utterances,our “benefactors” brought us lock downs for the healthy and the promise of a miracle vaccine..

    Now the vaccines are failures,but they will never admit that.
    Failures because these viruses mutate faster than medicine can respond.
    .Which we already knew.
    Otherwise the common cold would be a thing of the past and the creators of its vaccine would be billionaires and famous names.

    So now this theatre.
    The vaccines do not mean the end of The Dread Covid,you must continue to comply with the street theatre of meaningless gestures and obedience to incompetents..

    Of course it is not the fault of your Public Health Experts,in true cover your ass manner,its because;
    “We did not expect the virus to mutate so quickly”..
    “Respect our authority”.
    We are experts.
    Nothing to see here move along.

  9. Via Lockdown Sceptics:

    https://timeforrecovery.org/mutantstrain/

    On Tuesday 15 December, Professor Nick Loman of the Covid-19 Genomics UK (COG UK) consortium, identified the new set of mutations as VUI – 202012/0. He confirmed that it is not new, as COG UK identified it in September, and there is no proof that it is more infectious. As Professor Sharon Peacock, COG Director, pointed out: “We are still dealing with very thin evidence at the moment about this variant.”

    1. Funny, I don’t recall Ford locking up Browntown savages before their pagan Diwali celebrations. And Browntown is the epicenter of Wuhan Flu in Morontario. Yet another subtle way we’re paying for turd world imports.

    1. If both those warriors get demonetized on YT, then yes, BitChute is the way to go, but so long as those guys are still getting paid per view, watch them on YT.
      That said, if not already, they are prime targets for being demonetized or banned. Sargon has had his bans, I’m sure PJW has as well. It’s a credit they’ve survived this long.

  10. If the vaccine doesn’t work on this thing then it’s time to just end this crap and just live with it. Seriously I could kind of accept another year of this when failure Trudeau’s vaccine program finally makes it’s way into the crap healthcare system but a forever pandemic? No thanks assholes.

    1. It is a virus, it will run it’s course. Nothing will work except herd immunity and any vaccine will not give that. Get up, get out, get over it.

      1. Well Jeez vowg, ya coulda said that a long time before….. Oh, right you did, multiple times, how come the idiots don’t get it?

  11. So you get the vaccination – but you must continue to wear a mask because you can still get and transmit it. And maintain social distance I am guessing. And maybe not return to your normal activities? And this vaccination is 95% effective. This really doesn’t add up – but I guess math is hard.

  12. Anyone else willing to entertain the idea that a further strain has been released (a kind of Christmas “present”) as a way of keeping the pressure on and the balance off?

    Strangely something similar is unfolding in Sydney right now.

    1. This is covid 20 and it’s over folks. It’s immune to the vaccine. Now comes decision time. Keep up the B’s or get back to living. Trudeau will do whatever is completely wrong.

  13. @James ” it’s time to just end this crap and just live with it.” — You don’t really think TPTB would do something so obviously sensible. Politicians are getting brownie points for “keeping us safe”. It’s complete nonsense, but lots of people believeq it. Nature working towards herd immunity is nothing. It’s the politicians who will save us — oh, and big pharma.

    1. And if this “strain” is a new disease that the vaccine is useless for? We’re back to what’s the end game. Enjoy the decline into totalitarian distopia or do we go back to normal. My guess is a return to normal would require a fight. Freedom and laws and constitutions are a lie.

  14. Though Ferguson is apparently gone . . .

    Not gone enough.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9073767/Professor-Neil-Ferguson-key-role-Boris-Johnsons-dramatic-U-turn-Christmas.html

    “However, minutes from the Nervtag meeting published yesterday have now revealed the expert committee had in fact only ‘moderate confidence’ that the new strain was more transmissible than other variants.”

    “Moderate confidence” is intellectual wank for 50-fucking-50.

  15. My theory is that this is NOT at all “a new strain” of another even scarier virus.

    Instead, this is just a new Brexit negotiation tactic invented by the EU. It allows them to lock out traveling Brits and products exported from Britain to the EU, thus putting more EU economic pressure on the UK.

  16. Interesting comments on Fauci’s paper:

    “It is a good paper. For those that know me from before, I tend to be rather hard on science publishing, but this really is a good paper. But that’s the entire problem. In 2008 Fauci studied why the Spanish Flu of 1918 was so lethal. And the answer was: The Flu wasn’t, but the bacterial pneumonia that came as a secondary infection to it was. And this was repeated in the 57-58 flu pandemic.

    So he recommended, for managing future pandemics, stockpiling antibiotics, early and aggressive treatment with antibiotics for respiratory pandemics.”

  17. In March we in the UK were told that Neil Ferguson had resigned from *all* government roles, including “NERVTAG” (part of “SAGE”, the committee that makes up the “Science” to justify the UK lockdowns).

    Ferguson is the academic responsible for egregiously inaccurate predictions about Covid (and, previously about Foot and Mouth) who was caught breaking lockdown rules in order to “meet up” with his married mistress.

    We how learn that this man took part in the December 18th NERVTAG meeting prior to the latest disastrous lockdown. So either it was untrue that he had resigned – or maybe he was invited back.

    Considering the damage that this serial charlatan has done, why is he on a government committee rather than in jail I do not know. Well, actually I do know – what else can you expect from a government under “Boris”, a man who was fired *twice* for lying when he was a journalist. And the rest of them are not much better.
