Quite a few of you (I’d imagine) saw this article at the Mail Online website two days ago. It reached new peaks of the sort of Covidrivel that is leaked to the media and then eagerly regurgitated.
The empty walnut summary is as follows: SAGE has submitted a paper saying that a new mutant of Covid19 “could kill one in three people”.
Here are some of the sillier bits of virology antiscience on show in the article:
‘A doomsday new Covid variant that could kill up to one in three people is a ‘realistic possibility’, according to the Government’s top scientists…No10’s expert panel claimed the likelihood of the virus mutating is highest when it is most prevalent — as is currently the case in Britain…in a downside of Britain’s hugely successful vaccination drive, the team warned the country’s greater levels of immunity may help speed up the virus’s evolutionary process…”.
Uh-huh. Soooo, a mutating virus is prevalent (despite what we told you about Lockdown)….but nihil desperandum because we hard-sold you all on the vaccines, and the greater levels of immunity they achieved means we gave Covid19 the breathing space to leap into a sort of bubonic plague super-power and so permanent Lockdown is obviously on the agenda.
And it’s heads we win, tails you lose.
But get a load of this limp ending to the outrageously contradictory leap bollocks:
‘However, the SAGE report also claimed it was equally realistic that Covid will mutate to become less lethal over time’.
Soooo – we’re winning and yet losing but if we lose, it’s your fault and we reserve the right to remove from you our duty of care.
But here’s a clue: The Government’s under 30s jabberthon is not going at all well. So much so, in fact, that this target audience is now being offered shopping vouchers, free pizzas and all the taxi-rides they can eat in return for getting just a teeny-weeny itsy-bitsy vaccination – now we can’t say fairer than that, can we?
So surely, it can’t do any harm to have some further false alarm in the mix, can it?
The Covijabberwocky
Then came the CoviJabberwocky –
three darts in your arm, and on the ‘ockey,
aiming for the treble top
ensuring we shall double-drop
like hordes of DDT-sprayed flies
who fed upon the vaccine lies.
But when we ask why you and me
are not among the one in three
(jabbed thrice down at the local clinic
and now extinct from Cytokinic
mega-output self-defence
and RNA malevolence)
the men from SAGE will yell “J’accuse!”
and tell us how we did abuse
our liberty – and thus gave breath
unto a mutant CovBlackDeath.
