My intellectual journey would read almost identical with yours. Having accepted what I was taught about viruses in medical school 50 years ago, I never gave them much thought over decades of medical practice. They were said to cause seasonal respiratory illnesses and the elderly and infirm would often succumb to bacterial pneumonia and other complications. There was no treatment for the offending "virus" that started the cascade although some could be saved by antibiotics for the secondary bacterial infection.
I had no idea that there were some skeptics that denied the very existence of viruses. I suspected that viruses were often used as "default" causes for illnesses for which there was no known cause. But since there was no treatment, I didn't really think much more about it. The onset of the covid "pandemic" aroused my suspicions that we were being deceived because I could see no difference from the regular yearly seasonal respiratory disorders that we had dealt with. This led me to do a deep dive into the subject of virology and I encountered the "no virus" argument. Since the "establishment" virologists have no scientifically coherent evidence to refute the "no virus" argument, I am now firmly ensconced in that camp. Once that fact is accepted, it makes everything clear and all the talk about early treatment, genetic variants, "tests", "long covid", etc. just pure nonsense.
I agree that the UK was not as authoritarian as other countries but I remember on a December night 2021 when Johnson appeared at his usual position behind his lectern and said there needs to be a 'national conversation' about mandatory vaccinations. That was the night I wondered where this country was heading and I felt a strong sense of fear, but his sound bite disappeared and was not mentioned again. Following this there was a very gradual relaxation of the insane public drive to have every man, woman and child vaccinated in the UK. I think we were heading in a direction similar to other countries but suddenly it changed.
You are right everything about the covid narrative was fake except the underlying fear and intimidation that was introduced into everyone's life in 2020.
You are very kind to say so. We all have something to give, and it seems to be the case the more one uses what one has, the more one gets. 2020 gave me the kick up the backside to do what perhaps I might have done earlier.
Brilliant and—without hyperbole—heroic. Both the original (speaking out at great risk and while all your colleagues despicably simply followed orders) and the honest critique. Reflects my position almost exactly then and now on the ‘virus’ psyop. While I’m neither scientist nor medical professional, I was listening to Mike Yeadon and people in your cohort from the outset. I spent hours reading the Vaers and Yellow Card data. I had sickening (and relationship-changing) exchanges with family, friends and work colleagues about the jabs, masks and lockdowns. No regrets. And I appreciate I am in very fine company on this!
And in the five years since, the sheer scale of the long history of this totalitarian evil has been revealed. The globalist assault is far more advanced than even those of us of this general worldview could have ever imagined. But the brainwashed, unmoving and unthinking hordes continue to do the bidding of their masters. Thank God for my faith! 😎😌
I thank God too for opening my eyes wide in 2020. As to scientist, well as science essentially means 'knowledge' we can all be seekers after that and therefore all scientists.
And as to medical professionals that has proved to to a disadvantage to most as they singularly failed to see through the scam due to their pride and indoctrination.
It has invariably been the practical ones who work with their hands who worked out the fraud.
My friend who agreed to talk to you re empty hospital 2020 took v ill soon after me asking her. She lost conscienceness at home, never regained it, and Edinburgh confirmed CJD so put on end of life "midaz" as nurse called it. 58 yrs old, Hindu non beef eater, no C jabs either. I'm quite overwhelmed by all the sickness and death around me since C Jabs.
Thank you Jonathan for posting this, I appreciate your honesty in saying much of it made you cringe in re-reading. Anybody who can say that has my vote!
I wrote a letter to Boris 'de piffle' Johnson (& Johnson) in latter half of 2020 when I realised it was all bollox. I just said not to waste money on vaccines. I was of course ignored.
I realised it was just as well for if they had not done what they did so many people would not have woken up and we would have returned to being slowly boiled. Turning up the heat make so many see how ridiculous it all was.
I may have posted before but as it amused me in writing it may amuse others. Helped keep me sane in the madness.
"If writing this today, my starting point would be everyone’s absolute right of sovereignty over their own body, rather than the necessity, desirability or technical performance characteristics of the tests."
My starting point from Day One and on every introduced element of the entire fraud has been similar: Regardless of the specific issue (PCR, viruses, terrain/germ, etc.), the science involved is worth our attention and the answers are important. But the answers are irrelevant to the moral principle of individual rights, starting with the right to life, which includes every person's inviolable right to decide what goes in or on his body. Only when that moral principle is established and upheld can anything meaningful and useful come from the science, if there is any.
Thank you Jonathan as ever for the clarity of thought. I will republish in full on HART. I am sure if you asked all the signatories of the original, they would all stand by their words and many including me, would be a lot more sceptical than we were even then. The depressing thing is that the recipients of our numerous open letters are still as entrenched now as they were in 2021. (Well not quite all, there is one name on there, who I think was the HART mole, reporting our private conversations to our online detractors, but I always smile to see he has no way to remove his name from the many letters he signed before he was outed.)
Not for HART (and not directing this to you) but relevant to the broader issue of scepticism:
I am far less surprised that elected/appointed officials are plugging their ears than I am about reticence among sceptics toward taking an eyes-wide-open look at the events of late 2019/early 2020.
Matt Ridley did not even acknowledge its existence, or react to mine or JE's messages
I guess the best any of us can do is get on the record and hope the records survive, whether we (the writers) are right or wrong, so that posterity might be able to accomplish what we were not
Excellent, Jonathan. Review certainly adds to our collective wisdom!
One sentence I thought you might have a view on was in number 7. "Vaccination may also contribute to this although its durability and level of protection against variants is unclear." It has been pointed out to me that vaccination IM, which bypasses the mucosal immune system, cannot effectively eliminate infection or transmission, and therefore cannot effectively contribute to herd immunity.
Epidemiological evidence. Vaccines have been noted epidemiologically to be unsuccessful in controlling respiratory viruses. See, for example, Morens, Taubenberger, and Fauci (see footnote 1) (2023), ".... none of the predominantly mucosal respiratory viruses have ever been effectively controlled by vaccines". This quote refers to respiratory viruses, including measles, influenza viruses and coronaviruses, and includes both conventional protein based and novel genetic injectable vaccines.
Biological mechanism. It has been established that compounds injected intramuscularly into the systemic immune compartment do not promote effective steralising immunity and do not effectively prevent transmission of respiratory viruses. This is because such injection bypasses the immune system of the mucosal membranes of the upper airways. See, for example, Clancy (see footnote 2) (2023), “Current strategies for vaccination against inhaled viruses of concern, such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2, have little impact on infection and viral transmission, as injected vaccines stimulate systemic immunity rather than net-positive mucosal immune protection.”

What’s been discovered, is not that COVID was a fairytale, but reveals the 100 year old scam of pandemics. There are no viruses and all pandemics are planned in advance. And no one can tell me what causes a respiratory infection. The answer is well known, but not known in the medical field. There is no SARS COV2 or MERS or H1N1 or even HIV. These are all bioweapons that are not found in nature, but delivered via an injection.
Arthur Firstenberg paid the ultimate price, he is the author of the book: The Invisible Rainbow.
I would like to add to my earlier comment that the abrupt change of policy occurring mid-March 2020 was around the Ides of March of which as you know we must be aware.
However, it was also when cases of COVID 19, a.k.a. rebranded 'flu, were rising which would give an excuse of apparent 'spread'. That wretch Ferguson realised and was waiting for this to give the go ahead for lockdown.

There are no viruses and no doctors listed on this Substack can tell you what causes a respiratory infection.
That is why I try to be careful and refer to it as a respiratory illness or disorder rather than an infection.

You have a sharp, perceptive wit, I wish I had a fraction of your talent.

I will add the stupidity of some people makes me want to bash them with something to make them wake up, a bit like Basil Fawlty and his car.
