      Instead of hurleys, protesters can bring out their nooses again and pretend they’re skipping ropes.

      Did you hear the latest in the Ivermectin saga? We had been told that all the accumulated evidence of the numerous RCTs finding in favour of Ivermectin together with the meta-analysis just wasn’t good enough. It should be disregarded and instead we would have to wait until a definitive mega-sized RCT is carried out to the very highest standard possible. That will be the decider on whether it is to be authorised..

      Now this happens:

      Dr Robert Malone: ‘The PRINCIPLE trial led by the University of Oxford has put the ivermectin arm of the study is on “hold” due to “temporary supply issues.”
      Yeh, right…’

      Starting to look like the Ivermectin arm of the PRINCIPLE trial is going the way of the HCQ arm of the RECOVERY trial which last year was marred in controversy, shut down and branded as being ‘set up to fail’. Both PRINCIPLE and RECOVERY are funded by the same UKRI initiative.

    Dr. Peter McCullough: 5 Essential Truths About COVID-19

    1) COVID-19 is ONLY spread when symptoms are present.
    2) Asymptomatic testing is not FDA cleared or supported by any regulatory bodies.
    3) Natural immunity is robust, complete, and durable–it’s “one and done.”
    4) COVID-19 is a treatable illness in high-risk patients with early sequenced multidrug therapy.
    5) The genetic COVID-19 vaccines are not sufficiently safe or effective for the public. Vaccine mandates should be dropped, and the vaccine program should be paused for safety review.

        First result when googling noted quack and conspiracy theorist Dr. McCullough: “https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/joe-rogan-covid-podcast-doctor-b1977603.html Joe Rogan podcast hosts doctor known for pushing debunked claims about Covid-19…

        Dr McCullough also claimed that The Gates Foundation, major pharma companies including Moderna, and the lab in Wuhan where some have argued the virus originated had together predicted the pandemic and were working on a response to it long before the virus was discovered as part of a new world order.

          It hasn’t dawned on you yet that Google has been actively involved in narrative management for years? Downgrading articles which go against the vested interests of certain elites; promoting hit pieces on those who dissent against the preferred narratives.

          Compare the search results you get when you type “Dr Peter McCullough” into the DuckDuckGo search engine – which isn’t using the same kind of algorithm as Google:
          https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dr+peter+mucullough&t=h_&ia=web

          First 9 articles on McCullough aren’t smearing him.

          1. Cian

            Google personalises results. That probably says more about you than Google.

            If I open a private browser window and use google (using “dr peter mccullough” – note spelling) I get the following, most of which are summarising his career, none of which are smearing him. There are 2 other: a link about Joe Rogan and another Dr refuting the Joe Rogan interview :

          2. f_lawless

            Silly comment. You say none of your search results are smearing him but the second link on your list IS the smear piece: “Joe Rogan podcast hosts doctor known for pushing debunked claims”.

            I get the exact same set of google search results as what you’ve listed (and it’s likely Bitnboxy does too) when I’m both signed into google and also when not signed in and using a private browser window. The hit piece in the Independent comes up in second place on both searches but on the DuckDuckGo website the article is not even on the first page of results.

    2. SOQ

      Ha ha- how did I know the usual suspects would be on the attack. Peter McCullogh is a professor who specialises in cardiology so he is right on the coal face of CoVid-19 vaccine injuries. Despite the hatchet job done on his wiki page, he is one of the most credible medics to speak out so far.

      2. Kali

        Any doctor that calls covid for what it is gets berated by the usual lads. The WHO bounce from being in Chinas back pocket to being the ultimate source of truth depending on what the covid announcement is that day. The covid faith doesn’t allow questions about their belief systems. In their view the world is flat and anyone that thinks differently is a conspiracy nut

    There’s really only ONE Rachel Reilly.
    I hope I never bump into her because I’ll have an accident if I do.

    1. Andy Pipkin

      I was watching Rachel yesterday on Countdown and got aroused,

      I thought it was a decent 7 letter word!!

  4. Andy Pandy

    Oh I wish people would just stop. 92% or so of us have the two doses of vaccine and we cannot take it out. I was, and am happy to get it and the booster and more boosters to come. People who don’t agree with the vaccine are in a minority echo chamber and it just gets boring listening to and reading about it. You cannot suck the vaccine out of people so stop warbling on about it, please!

    1. Verbatim

      I, for one, certainly wouldn’t want to “suck” the vaccine out of you, just the idea of it, besides you are a guinea pig in some respects. However, it would be interesting to know why you are “happy” to get it and ready to take as many boosters that are offered? I’m always, sincerely, hoping someone will change my mind.
      I may be in a minority in not wanting to get vaccinated and distrusting of the method, echo chamber I think not, though it’s good to know that I’m not the only one on the planet, GO BS!

      1. E'Matty

        Yes, BS has been a welcome oasis of sense in a land of irrational fear and hysteria. It’s great to come here and see many similar minded free thinking individuals. And of course, to challenge the lunacy of the committed Covidian believers. Not sure why Andy Pandy just doesn’t stick to a steady diet of the Irish Times and RTE. He clearly only wants the echo chamber view where all speak as one voice in total consensus behind their devout High Priests.

        1. bisted

          …glad to hear you are emerging from a Covid infection with only mild symptoms a new natural immunity…something you share with St Luke O’Neill who contracted Covid just a day after receiving his booster jab…the main difference between you purebloods and the vaccinated is that those vaccinated will not die…

        2. Tom J

          I thought you had thing that doesn’t exist, shouldn’t you be self isolating instead of spreading bull poo on BS.
          Get well soon.

  5. Steph Pinker

    I hope all BS commenters enjoy and appreciate the significance of the the Winter Solstice, also, it’s the most magical time of the year.

      1. Cú Chulainn

        The ancient wheel turns full circle, and we begin again.. good solstice tidings to one and all…

    No Mo.

    The only thing going for “Bama was retiring senator Shelby who wrangled pork like a FF pro for his home state.It’s ‘country’ v ‘country club’ in the race to replace him,Trump has endorsed Old Mo Brooks (a 44 on your belt and a wife beater T,with the Ten Commandments-country) V Britt Power (hubby played for patriots,she’s straight from central casting-country club).

    Passed through sweaty swampy illiterate,racist Alabama on my to somewhere nice,this is a great read on the state play in the Republican Party,who coulda shoulda wouda controlled the senate,except for Trump.

    Some more Roy Moore,please this is in the Trumpiest state,last time he endorsed a candidate who initiated a sexual encounter with a 14 year old,when in his 30’s.

    I’m not following the diktats of any more of these “experts” immunologists, epidemiologists– scientologists in general. From now I will be mostly getting advice on Covid from Nicki Minaj and Matt Le Tissier

      What would really cheer me up this Chrimbo is your recipe for a festive Creamed Horn.

          A proposition from cad
          Had Frilly all sad
          A flirtation bound to fumble
          Before the rubbing-in started
          The Flashmam darted

  12. SOQ

    Dr. Eli David @DrEliDavid on twitter clearly doesn’t think much of the Omicron Variant so-

    Corona-phobia: A mental illness causing an unstoppable urge to tell other people what to do.

    Omicron wave is so severe that hospitals are firing doctors and nurses.

    If you “believe in science” and “trust the experts”, you’ve got science and religion mixed up.

    Covid’s classification will soon change from infectious diseases to psychiatry.

    Omicron is the woke version of Covid: loud, noisy, and seeking attention, but doesn’t actually do anything.

    Omicron is the kind of Covid you order from AliExpress. Looks like the original, but barely works.

    Omicron is like King Kong: everyone is afraid of it, but it hasn’t killed anyone.

    A variant a day keeps your freedom away.

      2. SOQ

        Yes the sort who trains people to write those algorithms that feeds you slanted poo on Google. They are also qualified epidemiologists and infectious disease experts I guess.

    2. Nigel

      ‘Woke version of covid’

      Courting a particular audience more than exploring the nature of the new variant.
