Disinformation round up of recent news: 9 October
A list of recent disinformation and corruption stories
California’s anti-disinformation Bill
October began with California passing an anti disinformation Bill.
The Bill had faced much hostility and lobbying in attempts to derail it. The strongest critics being those who claimed the pandemic was over by mid 2020.
Disinformation & Insurrection
October also started with Steve Bannon appearing at the Globalist Puppet Masters conference.
Disinformation feeds conspiracy theories, and conspiracy theories are a tool of the far right to undermine institutions in support of radical change.
Failure to tackle disinformation by authorities has allowed a dangerous movement to ferment.
We see this with the way Truth for Health Foundation in the US merged covid disinformation from AAPS with theChristo-fascism of the Black Robe Regiment.
Involved in Jan 6 and Canadian Truckers Rallies.
Fall out of Jan 6 continues as the leader of the Proud Boys pleads guilty to conspiracy.
Covid disinformation is part of the wider culture wars and the international radical right. Every country should be taking note of what’s happened in the US because its also happening across the West.
Through political and media links and a lot of astroturfing the fringe has become mainstream.
Malhotra and World Council for Health
In the UK Aseem Malhotra with the help of Clare Craig (Pandata, HART, PCRclaims) released a paper calling for a complete halt to covid vaccinations. The paper was easily debunked but a succession of media interviews and a follow up “documentary” based on his claims has led to his disinformation going viral with over a million views.
Malhotra claims his paper was nine months in the making, what he means is he has spent nine months raising his profile and exaggerating his achievements in preparation of his Andrew Wakefield moment.
John Bye reported on Malhotra's false claims to have received a reward from thr BMA. The event the picture was taken from appears to have been an elaborate ruse to build Malhotra's credentials.
Off the back of Malhotra's paper increasingly threatening groups have sought to capitalise. Sexton in the UK is just one example.
While appearing on TV early in 2021 to praise the vaccines, Malhotra had shown support for and was involved with those responsible for covid disinformation.
From 2018 with HART member Harcombe.
As you can see, they are all in this together.
Fraud & Crimes against humanity
Malhotra's stunt was hosted by the World Council for Health founded by Tess Lawrie (Pandata, HART, British Ivermectin Research Development group).
WCH is a sponsor of Defeat the Mandates, BIRD is interlinked with FLCCC, these are linked to the Truth for Health Foundation.
Evidence of these organisations fraudulent activities are now coming to light, with arrests in Brazil, investigations in France, Reiner Fuellmich in Germany eloping with over €1.3million donated for his Nuremberg 2.0 Grand Jury, and revelations regarding Dolores Cahill (World Doctors Alliance, World Freedom Alliance, Health Freedom Ireland).
Despite many of his patients dying Cadegiani of FLCCC is still being supported by his FLCCC colleague Pierre Kory.
A thread on how to report to fraudulent practice in the US.
Hoeg's Mask paper
A paper by Hoeg and Chandra was promoted by various professionals who have consistently argued against the need for measures in schools. The paper sought to redo and correct a CDC paper that found masks reduced transmission. While claims have been made that this paper is more rigorous due to a larger data set, the additional data is unreliable and serves the purpose of obscuring the effectiveness of masks.
This was amplified by paediatricians working with the UK government, while they have dismissed every study showing the effectiveness of masks and the real harms to children of covid, Hoeg’s data mash up was treated as though it was good enough to finally end the debate on masks. Other questionable papers by Hoeg have also been promoted and quoted in the UK.
Florida’s Ladapo paper claims vaccination isn’t safe for ages 18-39
Florida’s America’s Frontline Doctors linked Surgeon General Jospeh Ladapo has released a paper calling for the halt of vaccinations for 18-39 year olds. The paper does not list the authors names and is scientifically illiterate.
Despite the clear flaws of what is essentially an antivax pamphet put out by Ladapo which wasn’t peer reviewed Hoeg's analysis is that we can look beyond the flaws and see this as a useful addition to the debate.
The timing a week after Malhotra's paper might be coincidence, however some involved in the World Council for Health are linked to America’s Frontline Doctors and Tess Lawrie's HART colleague Michael Yeadon has been advising AFLD and been involved in briefings in Florida.
Disinformation, think tanks and the Conservative Party
The Together Declaration which has been promoting Malhotra's paper and is due to run an event on the Great Reset (note the similarities to the Globalist Puppet Masters conference Bannaon attended), held an event at the UKs Conservative Party conference.
With Liz Truss becoming Prime Minister the representatives of opaquely funded think tanks with direct links to the US radical right have been appointed to various Government roles.
In her first month Truss has announced the return of fracking, licences for many new oil and gas wells in the North Sea and is planning on rolling back many environmental protections.
There are clear links between the think tanks, climate change denial and covid disinformation.
It’s worth noting that it was Josh Stevenson of Rational Ground who was Hoeg's coauthor for the VAER dumpster dive that massively exaggerated the risk of myocarditis from vaccination for children.
UK Covid Inquiry begins
Module one of the UK Inquiry has started off with concerns regarding lack of transparency.
In Canada there have been interesting details details revealed about their pandemic response.
In the UK IPC papers show how the airborne nature of covid and the need for respirators was obscured.
Once the decision was made they did not want to change direction because that would mean admitting they had endangered healthcare workers.
Meanwhile campaigners for clean air in schools are awaiting the publication from trials in September 2021 which were promised to be released in October 2022.
This is as figures reveal children have faced a high rate of infection and reinfection.
Sweden & herd immunity strategy in schools
Sealioning
In the UK, we see an attempt to dismiss the benefits of ventilation and filtration, the claim now is that preventing infections in schools would simply result in people being infected elsewhere. Infections per wave are apparently a set number.
Immunity Debt
It seems the evidence base for measures appears to require an unachievable high standard compared while the case for allowing mass infection is even happy to make up new concepts not backed up by evidence.
Immunity debt was invented in 2021 off the back of one questionable paper, within a month it was being treated as though it was a long and well established scientific concept.
