    Going by the headlines in the Sligo Weekender and The Echo, I wonder whether some sort of govt. advertorial cash is being dispensed to local papers.

      I got my booster yesterday in Punchestown. Wonderful team, I have to say, but after a long day, the queue did make me tired.

      When I came out, I was amazed at the line of cars for the tests

        When I had mine last Thursday the effects lasted about 3 days. It didn’t ruin Christmas but it wasn’t great either. Hope all is well with your family.
        Loved your articles throughout the year

          I got mine last week from my GP. No side effects barring a stiff arm the next day.

          Tis but a scratch!

    The great Twitter purge gathers pace: now Dr Robert Malone, mRNA vax tech inventor, who had amassed over half a million followers, is the latest to get the chop – suspended without warning the day before he’s due to appear on the Joe Rogan show. Smacks of desperation. More and more are starting to wake up to the increasingly incoherent Covid narratives being spun by public health authorities and governments. Big Tech seem to have adopted the brazen approach of trying to ban their way through the crisis. Now no one’s off limits no matter how qualified.

      +1 All major social media is managed by intelligence agencies. They’re trying to hold the line for their interests, but the floodgates have opened.

      Not quite ‘the inventor’, although I can understand why you’d like to imagine that he is. He’s a disgruntled kind of a guy who evidently feels that he got lost in the scramble when paeans were being sung to those who, collectively, had a hand in developing mRNA vaccines:

      https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/08/robert-malone-vaccine-inventor-vaccine-skeptic/619734/

      Maybe ‘pioneer who lost his way’ would be a better label for him. At least he hasn’t gone postal over his grievances.

      1. Duncan Wheeler

        @ Feaganainm.Why is it that folk on here are unable to impart information and opinions without some sneering insult. By the by, the Atlantic is a neo-liberal one sided rag. Hitch wasn’t always cool.

      2. SOQ

        I knew before scrolling down after f_lawless’s post that there would be some ejeet ready to nit pick if he was or was not the inventor of mNRA, as though that somehow justifies this blatant censorship. He was the first in the field and is a leading expert- what expertise or experience do these censors have eh Fearganainm?

        I expect with Malone we are going to see the full Streisand effect now because he is such a heavy weight. The tide is definably turning. The Real Anthony Fauci by RFK Jnr is now a best seller and the more people who see that sewer rat for what he is, the better.

        1. Nigel

          ‘we are going to see the full Streisand effect’
          ‘The tide is definably turning.’
          ‘The Storm is coming.’

          By the way, isn’t RFK Jnr the sort of classical anti-vaxxer you guys love to distance yourselves from whille obviously carrying on in their tradition?

          ‘Kennedy is the chairman of Children’s Health Defense (formerly the World Mercury Project), an advocacy group he founded in 2016.[5] The group alleges a large proportion of American children are suffering from conditions as diverse as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, food allergies, cancer, and autoimmune diseases due to exposure to certain chemicals and radiation. The Children’s Health Defense has blamed and campaigned against vaccines, fluoridation of drinking water, paracetamol (acetaminophen), aluminum, wireless communications, and others. Kennedy’s group has been identified as one of two major buyers of anti-vaccine Facebook advertising in late 2018 and early 2019’

          1. Nigel

            A CIA psyop? Listen to yourself, for feck’s sake.

            Is being a bestseller a mark of credibility now? Especially in the US where right-wing publishers are nototrious for rigging their authors onto the lists?

            Shocking, eh? Well.

          2. SOQ

            What the hell else could it be but a a CIA psyop? Unless you actually believe that BS?

            And apart from cheap mud slinging, what relevance has that to Robert Malone’s suspension from Twitter anyways?

            As for the Robert F Kennedy’s book- do you honestly think it would be still for sale if they could have stopped it? https://childrenshealthdefense.org/fauci_info/

          3. Nigel

            ‘What the hell else could it be but a a CIA psyop?’

            There are so many other things it could be they are beyond counting.

            ‘do you honestly think it would be still for sale if they could have stopped it?’

            What are you even trying to say? First you appeal to the authority of the bestseller list, now to the authority of ‘them,’ who would have been stopped if they could have stiopped it?

          4. SOQ

            You are the one who mentioned all that Q BS, not me- and neither has Malone.

            And yes, if they had legal grounds to prevent Kennedy’s book you can be certain they would have challenged it- that is common sense. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sues pharma for a living- he is on very solid ground.

            And speaking of lawsuits- this is what you, and others, are attempting to defend.

            https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/companies-26b-settlement-opioid-lawsuits-move-ahead-79838610

            Together, the settlements are likely to represent the biggest piece of a string of settlements between companies in the drug industry and state and local governments over the addiction and overdose epidemic in the U.S

          5. Nigel

            ‘You are the one who mentioned all that Q BS’

            I was merely noting some similarities.

            ‘nd yes, if they had legal grounds to prevent Kennedy’s book you can be certain they would have challenged it- that is common sense’

            Ys, if a thing that didn’t happen had happened that would have been proof that it happened.

            ‘And speaking of lawsuits- this is what you, and others, are attempting to defend.’

            Defend people suing companies over the opioid crisis? Damn right.

          “…At the beginning of his statement, Malone established his credentials for talking about the mRNA vaccines by claiming to be the creator of this vaccine technology. Malone makes the same claim in his Twitter bio and website. However, as Health Feedback showed in a previous claim review, this is inaccurate. The development of mRNA vaccine technology was a collaborative effort spanning more than three decades of work, many research institutes, and hundreds of researchers. Malone is one of those researchers, but while he contributed to the technology’s development, he is not the sole inventor or creator of the technology….”

          The human tendency to spoof is evergreen – there’s your only real Streisand effect.

          1. SOQ

            @ Chris.

            At this stage it is part of the playbook that as soon as a credible player speaks out against the corruption there is always a sketchy “factchecker’ to be produced- the same as Facebook’s “opinions”.

            Either way it has no bearing on Robert Malone’s very clear warning to parents who allow their children be injected with that stuff- on your own heads be it.

        I just love it Chris. Love it, love it, love it.

        The old far-fetched twaddle you believe and spout yet you call climate change nonsense. Something that can be seen and proven. Something that has been tracked. Something we can see the real world impacts of.

        But nope, not according to Chris. Not sexy enough. Not ludicrous enough. Needs more evil shadowey bad guys in a lair secretly plotting. Needs less evidence and more belief.

        5g towers, yes so credible. Mutant Bill Gates control vaccines, more than plausible. Lockdowns and covid restrictions a means to condition you and for the elites to control the world, yummy yummy I will eat it all up.

        But human activity having a profoundly negative impact on the world’s climate and ecosystems as a result of pumping all sorts of gases into the atmosphere, bit much?

        1. Chris

          “Something that can be seen and proven. Something that has been tracked”. These are lies. NONE of this research is open to scrutiny by independent analysts. They won’t share the raw data. It’s just NGOs directing policy – on the basis of “Trust me bro”.

          I suppose it might pass for ‘science’ if you’re a gullible idiot, that believes anything the propaganda tells them. I don’t count myself amongst your folly.

          1. Chris

            No doubt you find the fact funny, if it suits your agenda – but attempting to call it ‘science’ or ‘truthful’ is a disgrace. I’m not the one proselytizing based on bad faith.

          2. Chris

            I care not one jot for what you think, Nigel. You sleepwalk through life, passively imbibing opinions, that are formed through propaganda that serves elite interests.

            Whats deplorable, is that you forgo truth – because you believe that your ‘side’ has the moral weight to enforce it’s ends, if given power. That the enforcers of your ‘side’ care even less about what you think, than I do, is the ironic part.

          3. Nigel

            ‘because you believe that your ‘side’ has the moral weight to enforce it’s ends, if given power.’

            Yes that is how democracy works.

          4. Nigel

            I love that you decry the serving of elite interests then post that link to that guy’s book. If there’s a more nakedly fosiil fuel shill in the wrold than Patrick Moore, then its Bjorn Lomborg.

            ‘Records keep falling in Mexico.After scorching temperatures at high elevations, winds rehersal sent the temperature to 41.1C at El Pujal,San Luis Potosì. This would be the highest reliable temperature ever recorded in Mexico in December,only 0.4C from the North America record.’

            (Now you need to relate stuff like this back to the reports on the vulnerability of crops and water sources, then you need to pretend we’re just prejuduced against carbon or something.)

          1. Haroo

            I started doing myself years ago as no one else would.

            Friendly advice: don’t do yourself in public as you end up on a list.

  4. Tenpin Terry

    The Irish media expended remarkable amounts of energy and column inches in denouncing the UK government for socialising this time last year at the height of Covid lockdowns.
    Yet seem strangely reluctant to investigate the Iveagh House champagne knees up or whether Simon Coveney attended it or not.
    Hypocrisy or the media just being its usual docile self towards wrongdoing in high places?
    Both,I’d say.

  5. Fearganainm

    Poor chris, in his efforts to 4chanify Broadsheet he fails to consider that there are many photographs extant featuring Maxwell and Epstein in all kinds of company – Pope John Paul II, Donald Trump etc. And Jack Posobiec has hung out with Milo Yiannopoulos, someone who’d have been able to chat about shared, similar interests with Epstein. Poor chris thinks that attempting to trash a journalist / media source is a neat way of bypassing the actual content of an article and overlooking the fact that a journalist may be citing leading scientists within the body of the piece.

    For the record, let’s leave this here:

    https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02483-w

    It’s all there, disgruntled Malone, his overblown claims, his abandoning his doctorate in a huff after a spat with his supervisor, his attempts to monetise his research, his (unrelated to mRNA vaccines), patents, his claims of being frozen out/stabbed in the back/robbed by colleagues, his failed effort to secure funding for the production of an mRNA vaccine (the very thing he nows rails against), the whole “I could have been a contender!” cry of anguish.

    1. Chris

      “Pope John Paul II, Donald Trump etc” Yes, all trash. I’ve already linked to his page where he’s linked to the patents. You seem to lack the cognitive awareness of a captured press, and how they will seek to besmirch any that speak out. There’s nothing ‘poor’ about me, I’m far from lacking when it comes to the truth.

    2. SOQ

      Why Fearganainm do you not cast such a critical eye over the behaviour of an industry which has received the largest criminal fines in history? An industry which has knowingly released drugs which have caused injury and death and in the case of those vaccines, demanded complete indemnity within secret contracts?

      And that is not even mentioning the disgusting experiments they have carried out on innocent people.

      Assuming you are not a paid actor, I am just perplexed as to why you would question the motives of people like Malone and McCullough who really have nothing to gain out of this, while at the same time completely ignoring those who are making an absolute killing- in some cases literal murder- out of it.

      1. Fearganainm

        Criticising an individual’s overblown claims, which he is deliberately using to attempt to speak as a voice of authority, has got absolutely nothing to do with my opinion of the nature and historical record of any entity that makes up part of ‘Big Pharma’.

        I don’t have to tack on my opinion of ‘Big Pharma’ when pointing out that someone is vastly inflating his own expertise and contribution to scientific research. I think it is only right that when Malone is advancing all kinds of claims that it should be pointed out that he is not what he claims to be.

        Do you think that he should be permitted to mouth off unchallenged? If so, on what grounds do you think that he should be given a free run to spread misinformation? I hope that it isn’t because he’s a buddy of Pierre Kory, he of the lost tribe of Ivermectinites.

      2. SOQ

        Well if you have no opinions on the pharmaceutical industry then you bloody well should have because they are the most subversive threat to freedom in this lifetime.

        As for Malone- what is he saying that is ‘misinformation’? I assume you think you can go toe to toe with a world leading virologist and immunologist so- spell it out? What exactly is he saying that should be challenged?

        Or is it the case that you have no idea what you are talking about and are just regurgitating the BS propaganda you have been fed?

        1. Fearganainm

          Thanks for playing.

          Here. Thrill as once again Malone’s overblown claims are punctured. Gasp as his wife, using an alias, tries to edit his Wikipedia page and some related pages to make him look good. Groan as she’s caught and all her edits are wiped. Let your heart soar, briefly, as she returns under another alias, only to get busted again. Try and stifle a sense of déjà vu as Cranky Bob teams up with a variety of teams of new colleagues, only to fall out with them and quit in a huff. Stifle your sobs as you learn that his much-vaunted patents have expired. Throughout, try to develop a sense that you should try hard to resist the siren song of the latest ‘expert on the block’ – usually being pushed by alt-right sources – because sometimes spoofers have been ridiculed and their claims shredded for sound scientific reasons.

        2. SOQ

          Written by Leonid Schneider- the same guy who is adamant that SARS-CoV-2 being leaked from a lab is a conspiracy theory? Leonid Schneider who criticised Sweden’s approach to lockdown? Well we know how that well that one has aged.

          As for the rest- the equivalent of fish wife gossip and second hand ad hominem attacks are just that so once again- what exactly is Robert Malone saying that YOU think should be challenged?

          1. Fearganainm

            Look again and acknowledge your reading/comprehension fail.

            The piece was not written by Leonid Schneider.

            You’ve already rejected a fact-checking exercise on Malone’s most recent claims, conducted by a small team of scientists. It’s not uncommon for you to reject ‘fact checks’ without discussion, which saves you the trouble of having to address the actual science.

            Try again:

            https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/benefits-of-mrna-covid-19-vaccines-for-children-outweigh-the-risks-unlike-robert-malone-claim/

            What do YOU think is incorrect about the refutation of Malone’s claims?

          2. Chris

            Ill bite, it would be redundant to even try – I got to fifteen outright lies is their assertions and gave up. If you think that accounts for an accurate scientific analysis of the ‘vaccines’ – you’re misled.

            This situation is unprecedented & very contentious. People unused to evaluation vis the scientific method are ducks out of water. There are people that work in related fields that have been suckered, because they imagine that the hierarchy’s couldn’t have been perverted.The Anch test is a good indicator for this.

            By any conceivable metric, these ‘vaccines’ are a disaster. I now have two close relatives presenting with soft tissue cancers. One had a tumor removed but follow ups show a spread to other organs.

            The only light I can see in all of this is the differentials in the batches. But, if people continue to go down this path – ‘boosters’ – I wouldn’t hold much hope. There won’t be a family in Ireland left untouched by this.

            We’ve been had, en mass.

          3. f_lawless

            Here’s one: The piece linked to makes the claim ” mRNA vaccines were rigorously tested for safety, including in children 5 to 11 years of age”. But the clinical trials conducted were seriously underpowered. Furthermore, Pfizer and the FDA have done their best to ignore and bury the case of Stephanie de Garay who partook in one of Pfizer’s trials for children and has been suffering devastating consequences to her health ever since. Her symptoms began directly after her second dose.

            Here’s a link to the letter to the FDA sent by the lawyers working on de Garay’s case.

            https://www.sirillp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Letter-to-Federal-Health-Agencies-Regarding-Maddie-and-Clinical-Trials-for-Children.pdf
            Excerpts:

            “Pfizer’s clinical trial for children aged 12-15 included 2,260 participants, half of who received the vaccine and half who received a placebo. Meaning, only 1,131 children were vaccinated and at least one of those children, Maddie de Garay, suffered a devastating, life-altering injury which, despite incontrovertible proof and the cries of both the victim and her parents, has not been acknowledged by the sponsor (“Pfizer”) or the Food and Drug Administration..

            …The trial was underpowered (only 1,131 received vaccine)…The trial was not representative of most American children. It only included “healthy participants” and excluded those who previously were infected with SARS-CoV-2..

            …We are not naïve to the reality that after the FDA has fanatically promoted Pfizer’s Covid- 19 vaccine to the American people – which began before the FDA even approved the product – asking it to now admit it made a mistake as to this product and children is akin to asking the FDA’s leadership to cut their own throats. It would take an incredible amount of selflessness to admit such a mistake. Hence, at the least, before even considering authorizing or licensing this product for any further age span of children, a thorough investigation of the clinical trial conduct and data for children is demanded, as well as an expanded trial in order to gather sufficient data to confirm safety.”

            What has the FDA’s response been to the lawyers’ demand for the clinical trial data? To drip feed its release over a 55 year time span!

          4. SOQ

            Leonid Schneider owns and edits the site- he is ultimately responsible- and, he is a chancer like most of them are.

            What fact checking exercise? You do realise that self appointed ‘fact checkers’ have the reputation of used car salesmen because of their funding?

            And after being asked THREE time you have still not stated what it is you have issue with in the claims made by Robert Malone which in my mind means you are either a paid shill, or a bluffer- or probably both.

            @Chris- sorry to hear of your family issues but unfortunately, they do not isolated incidents. This is a presentation by an Oncologist Dr Ray Page concerning some of the trends he is seeing in his cancer patient.

            Not that these paid shills care of course.
