The Corona Virus

[The Bedlington Terrier]

This man as he describes himself on his company website is not a vaccine expert but a litigator for money

https://www.hja.net/legal-team/peter-todd/

I am currently conducting a major multi-party action (90 clients) relating to Pandemrix® vaccine (the 2009/10 pandemic swine flu vaccine). The Claimants all have narcolepsy (a serious incurable neurological disorder) after the swine flu vaccination. Public funding has been granted.

I am also currently acting for a number of Claimants in a product liability claim against Oculentis B.V. relating to injury and loss caused by defective intraocular lenses. The Claimants all had lens replacement surgery but their prosthetic lens has calcified due to contamination in the manufacturing process, resulting in the need for revision surgery or permanent loss of vision.

I have also had success with claims under the Vaccine Damage Payment Act 1979, including with appeals against refusals of awards. This included successfully defending the first ever appeal by the DWP to the Court of Appeal in a case under the Vaccine Damage Payments Act 1979 in February 2017 in the case of DWP v John (a minor) [2017]

I have achieved substantial settlements in a number of other product liability claims including regarding defective metal-on-metal hip prostheses.

In October 2017 I was elected as the Secretary of the Product Liability Special Interest Group of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.

I am a ‘cyclist-friendly’ solicitor and have acted for many cyclists over the years who have suffered serious injury in road traffic collisions.

Sounds like he makes his money by getting clients for class actions to me.

I'm too busy preparing and strengthening myself for what is yet to come from our totally unfit for purpose Cabal of Cabinet Minister Conservative and Unionist Cretins to worry too much about the possible consequences of my refusal to be injected with a cocktail of untried, untested chemicals OC.

Don't think you, or me, will get away with it BT, we won't. Besides the requirement to have a vax certificate to travel, there are now proposals that you will need one to attend a football match, a theatre or cinema, and even eating out in a restaurant. 1984 never really arrived when it was supposed to, but it's almost here now.

You keep on about untried, untested chemicals BT
45000 people have had it and more are getting it. At what point will you accept these have been tried and tested. 100k 1 million.....
whatever you chose we will soon be there worldwide
RNA is not a chemical either!
Don’t let the facts interfere with your opinion.

Over 50,000 deaths now (probably over 60,000 in reality) in the last nine months. And still the worst three months of the year to come for this type of virus. We could be near 100,000 deaths in a calendar year by March.
For those of you who claim that the figures are not unusual in a normal year, please show me a year when the deaths from flu approached these levels.

The pandemic has resulted in an unparalleled worldwide response in trying to find a vaccine. I am not surprised in the least that the "experts" have delivered the goods, and I am more than confident that if it gets the green light then it will be safe.

Given the scale and nastiness of the virus I will certainly take it, but it will be up to each individual whether they have it. I read somewhere that 25% of the population won't take it. this may reduce when it finally gets a clean bill of health.

But there will still be a group of people who will refuse. Their choice. If they calculate that the odds of a serious side effect are greater that getting covid then I won't try to convince them. If they won't listen to the "experts" what chance does a bloke on the internet have? Trouble is, they are getting their info from other blokes on the internet to make their decision.

Trouble for me 59er is I seriously question which is true or in accordance with empirically proven fact or someone's "reality" which is made up to suit an agenda.

I simply refuse to trust anything that comes out of the mouths of this Cabal of Cabinet Minister Conservative and Unionist Cretins or their goons from SAGE.

And the agenda is???

From their website
“SAGE is responsible for ensuring that timely and coordinated scientific advice is made available to decision makers to support UK cross-government decisions in the Cabinet Office Briefing Room (COBR).
We The advice provided by SAGE does not represent official government policy.

The membership of SAGE depends on the nature of the emergency but it typically includes leading experts from within government and leading specialists from the fields of academia and industry.”

Yeah right and the moon is made of green cheese.

Significantly Cummings was a regular attendee at SAGE meetings and TWO members refuse to be disclosed.

We should have a guessing contest I reckon.

This is the rest of the gaggle with whom I am advised to trust my own and my family's life too.
