There is an air of cautious positivity in the air in a number of countries as they start the process of de-restricting and opening up. Too good to be true? Very possibly, but if you're in one of the countries getting a break, like the UK, the respite is welcome. Unfortunately, there are still countries suffering unnecessary tyranny where leaders are doing their utmost to force individuals to be covid jabbed, whether they consent or not. Restrictions are being ramped up in places such as Australia and Austria, while Germany mulls over the possibility of following Austria down the road of mandating covid jabs for all. Our newest infographic (perfect for sharing!) gives you the most recent snapshot related to 'covid tyranny' around the globe.

The good news is that pushbacks and positives are coming thick and fast. People power - and people pressure - ramp up as more and more stand up who will no longer accept the ongoing restrictions, coercion and damage to their lives. They've done all they've been asked of and now want to continue with their lives. Jab mandates threatening NHS workers in the UK have been challenged and lifted, pending further consultation, while Canadian truckers take action against Justin Trudeau and his government as they work to defeat the totalitarian regime. It's definitely worth remembering that we, the people, are the 99% and we need to stand together and say Enough!

Pushbacks & positives!

• NHS workers have received a reprieve from mandated covid jabs as the UK government bowed to significant pressure from sources both inside and outside of the NHS, to rescind the requirement.

UPDATE 05/02 - GoFundMe have 'stolen' the truckers fund of circa CA$10 million and said it will be distributed to 'approved' charities apparently chosen by the convoy organisers. Donors are being asked to the claim their donations back and support the truckers through GiveSendGo by 19th February. The protestors say they’re in it for the long-haul and won’t move until the mandates are removed. Meanwhile Canadian Premier, Justin Trudeau, was moved to a place of safety and the Canadian government is fighting back by threatening to bring in even more stringent jab requirements for truckers as a punishment for daring to stand up against the draconian restrictions imposed by the Canadian government on its citizens

The move comes following his highly acclaimed, open, honest and transparent discussions with Dr Robert Malone and Dr Peter McCullough.

Child health

A new article in UK newspaper, The Guardian, sets out the harms to young children caused by coronavirus restrictions. The article describes how children have been affected, including a four year old who cowers if a shopkeeper tries to speak to him. For many children, the wearing of masks and constant use of hand sanitiser has now become a part of everyday life, despite the health issues associated with these measures.

Covid injections

• US children under the age of 5 are likely to be given three doses of covid vaccine once it's been approved according to Anthony Fauci speaking at a recent press conference. The speed of the potential approval and willingness of regulators to allow young children to be jabbed without the necessary supporting evidence is causing some vaccine experts to question the plans amongst fears it could put the whole jab programme in jeopardy
• Four renowned chemistry professors have sent a letter to BioNTech founder, Uğur Şahin, expressing concerns and asking questions about possible quality issues with its covid jabs

Even though all the visitors were fully vaccinated, masked, quarantined before departure and on arrival as well as testing negative not once, but several times 36 out of the 54 visitors tested positive for the virus on arrival at the island. This led the island being plunged into lockdown, which is reportedly failing to halt the spread of covid amongst the population

Natural Immunity

Malawi may have reached the holy grail of herd immunity against covid. The evidence comes from a study conducted by Kondwani Jambo, an immunologist based in Malawi, which reveals the majority of Malawians were infected long before omicron arrived. Because most people got through the illness with little issue they were neither tested or logged. Jambo's data came from blood bank samples, which are collected monthly, leading to the conclusion that up to 80% of Malawians had been infected with some strain of covid before Delta hit.

Treatments

• Japanese trading and pharmaceuticals company Kowa Co Ltd, has said that ivermectin has shown an "antiviral effect" against Omicron and other coronavirus variants in joint non-clinical research
• Controversial scientist, Andrew Hill, who deliberately changed the conclusion of a study that supported the use of ivermectin to treat covid to please his funders, has published a new sub-group meta-analysis in Open Forum Infectious Diseases. The paper is designed to denigrate the volume of evidence showing ivermectin as an effective treatment for covid. The new analysis suggests the positive results of previous studies, referred to by Hill as fraudulent, were due to poor quality studies. It's of no surprise that Hill fails to mention high risk studies are often massively under funded and clinicians are trying to do their best under tough conditions. Clinical experience, not RCTs and meta-analyses, is what’s really driven the use of ivermectin and the saving of tens of thousands of lives!

Lockdowns

A new systematic review and meta-analysis of the use of lockdowns as part of covid control restrictions, from John Hopkins University, finds they had little positive effect but have created enormous social and economic costs. The authors conclude "lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument".
