Testimony highlights
Atmosphere prior to government making the decision to lockdown.
Herd immunity strategy not correct approach.
WHO advice should have been followed.
The next pandemic is ‘inevitable.’
‘‘I fundamentally disagreed with the approach in Britain by Boris Johnson was one that was akin to herd immunity and i did not agree with that approach.’’
‘‘People with disabilities were not heard by their political representatives…it will be to the forefront of our minds as an Executive should a pandemic strike again.’’
Statement highlights
‘‘It is notable that outbreaks of infection and deaths did not occur within the prison system here in contrast, I believe, to prison systems in Britain and the Republic of Ireland.’’
-Paragraph 120
‘‘The Regulations which we introduced imposed criminal sanctions for breaches of lockdown…The possibility of sanction for breach of the restrictions was, in my view a necessary element in ensuring compliance.’’
-Paragraph 127
‘‘Convincing people of the necessity and effectiveness of the measures was the best way to achieve widespread compliance and therefore protect public health. The police were the only organisation with the capacity and the resources to enforce the Regulations across society.’’
-Paragraph 128
‘‘I have been asked about the impact my attendance at the Bobby Storey funeral may have had on adherence to the Regulations. I have referred, in previous statements to this Inquiry, to my attendance at the funeral of my close friend, Bobby Storey, in a personal capacity. I fully accept that my actions caused hurt to many families who had lost a loved one during the pandemic at that time.’’
-Paragraph 130
‘‘I recognise that my attendance at the funeral may have resulted in a diluting or undermining of the public message to adhere to the Regulations. I also fully acknowledge that my actions compounded the hurt that bereaved families went through and for that I am truly sorry.’’
-Paragraph 131
‘‘I have previously addressed my concern and the concern of my Ministerial colleagues to the effects of lockdown on vulnerable groups in our society…we were alive to the adverse impact of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions generally, including the requirement to isolate, on vulnerable communities.’’
-Paragraph 135
‘‘Vulnerable groups included women and children at risk of domestic violence, those on low income and/or social security benefits, the elderly, the disabled and the isolated.’’
-Paragraph 136
‘‘We clearly identified the elderly and people requiring care assistance as a particularly vulnerable group who would require particular help, because of the imposition of NPI's including the need to isolate.’’
-Paragraph 141
‘‘I am also conscious of the criticisms made of the Executive during Module 2c by groups representing people with disabilities, and their sense that people with disabilities were not heard by their political representatives. That is something 1, as First Minister take seriously, and it will be to the forefront of our minds as an Executive should a pandemic strike again.’’
-Paragraph 155
Thoughts
There has been a noticebale increase in witnesses mentioning ‘the next pandemic’ these past weeks from testimonies at both UK and Scottish inquiries. A prelude of what is to come soon i think.

They all lack any ability to see that none of the measures put in place, isolation, distancing , masks made any positive impact , just misery . Was it even a pandemic or just overuse of PCR testing ?The dismissal of herd immunity but wanting to vaccinate anyone still breathing, to create a herd immunity.
LIES AND CHEATING MADE THE SCAMDEMIC but the PUTRID MUTTON fell HOOK LINE AND SINKER FOR IT!? Sheep do have brains an dthey got out of the fold!-----Covid Red Flag Alerts
14/11/2021-----By Roy R M McIntosh
Yes, red is very appropriate as it seems to have kicked off in ‘red’ China. People falling dead in the street and over publicised emergency hospitals being built. But it fooled the masses, and I was also taken in for a short spell. But I knew that the politicians/establishment could be evil but at time, just did not realise how evil!
Early on though I saw things that did not add up and also read a book called Web of Deceit by Mark Curtis, and boy, did that spell out the evil in the politicians, and they were aided in many cases by the media. Red flag flapping and alarm bells ringing!
The first thing that made me uneasy was the fact that they were taking people from hospitals to care homes, which just did not seem right. Then when I started going out after the first week, I saw police driving around in vans. They were out walking in twos and threes and more or less holding hands. I was going to some shop and none of the staff were dropping dead. All the drunks, junkies and homeless wonders were housed in various hostels and hotels and one was right in the middle of Princes Street, Edinburgh. Now, if this ‘covid’ was so dangerous and contagious would you be housing them right in the middle of a city? I shall add that a good few times I passed, they were out drinking and police vans were there. There were a few places that drunks etc. congregated, and they were not dropping like the Chinese.
On one occasion, closer to home, there was a body lying on the ground near to the local Co-op and the store was open. I do not have a mobile, so when I got home, I phoned the police. Now, I would think that the calls are recorded. I was told I was wasting police time and then asked if I could go and have a look at the body. I said: ‘Are you flipping joking? You are asking me to go and check, and this is meant to be so dangerous.’ I asked: ‘Are we just being told a load of crap?’ At that the person said I shall get the police to go and check it out. I gave it an hour and phoned Co-op. Was told by a person at Co-op that the police came but said they could do nothing about it! More like they could not be bothered…
Another flap of the red flag was the sudden decision to open emergency hospitals – Nightingale Hospitals. Now two points in this. We know that the NHS is struggling for qualified staff, so where were they going to get the staff? Were the politicians going to pull them from their rectums, the rectums they are? The other point and bigger in my eyes: If this ‘covid’ was so dangerous, would you build an emergency hospital right in the middle of the biggest city? Plenty more obvious and safer options like a military base or get ships anchored at sea or in Clyde etc. Shall end this part with would you put people with the most dangerous virus ever in hospitals beside other people?
Regarding the deaths of the elderly, it is common knowledge to some that DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) was used, but ask the average Joe or Jessie in the street and they do not have a scooby about that. Mention Midazolam or Remdesivir and 90% have never heard of it. Those are points that need to be brought out into the public arena!
Now on a personal note I had a nurse visit my home. A couple of my sons go to raves, or what ever you call them, and they have various friends. One of them is a nurse of about 40 years old and works in the Western General in Edinburgh. In first lockdown I played the game of painting shells and stones for the NHS. Now I paint stones all the time, so it broadened my wee childish hobby. I said to Lauren in conversation, and she said, oh, she would like them. So after her shift one evening she said she would come and get them. Now I was not frightened of the ‘Chinese Wizard Covid’ so, said: ‘Yes, come and get them!’
What happened was a real big flap, wave of the red flag and drums were banging! When the nurse arrived at my flat I opened the door and I said: ‘Come in!’ Thinking, she would say: ‘Oh no, I cannot do that,’ but she just walked right in! Now I wished I had a tape recording of what was said. The nurse said that the Western General was very quiet and so was the St John’s, I am sure she said. Now I stand by that, as for on social media, she had another story saying: ‘Oh it is real…’ What was real, the lies and bull crap?
But there were lots of other red flags like the royals still travelling about, politicians and advisors cheating on the public and their partner in one case and that is only the ones we found out about!
So what was it all about – a virus, pharma or bankers cracking the whip, or a plan for world control? Make your mind up folks and enjoy your future of facial recognition. Two or three pokes from the pharma every year, Universal Basic Income, Build Back Better, a cashless society.
Now that would take the shine of your ginger bread – but so many are just walking right into it with a big smile!
