From cancelled Prime Ministers to cancelled babies

Can we save our species by learning to be more civilised?

Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister of the UK, had his role cancelled on 6 September. His successor, Liz Truss, was cancelled yesterday. I don’t wish to criticise or defend any of the actions that led to the downfall of these leaders – all in the space of 6 weeks – principally because this blog is about health, not politics.

But what is certain is that neither Johnson nor Truss were solely responsible for the events that led to their respective face plants. Every PM and country leader is surrounded by advisors, ministers and bureaucrats, and most of these have run down their respective burrows in Westminster, only to resurface when they next see an opportunity.  Somehow people think that cancelling an influential person will resolve the underlying, systemic problem.  

Cancel culture

Of course, we don’t need to look very far from politics to see numerous other examples of cancel culture. JK Rowling was cancelled by social media after being accused of being transphobic. Her ‘sin’ was questioning the use of the phrase ‘people who menstruate’ in place of the word ‘women’.  Actress Jodie Comer was cancelled and shamed for her choice of partner, who happened to be a Trump supporter. Taylor Swift was shamed and cancelled after an ill-informed Chinese whispers campaign referring to her as a ‘snake’ exploded on social media. Then there’s the less famous among us, including the many millions who have exercised their right to refuse a gene therapy covid-19 shot.  

The word ‘cancel’ in ‘cancel culture’ apparently comes from the world of TV, where shows get cancelled if people don’t like them. It’s then been enthusiastically picked up and deployed to control communications between human beings by the omni-present social media giants. These companies have in turn been endowed with the powers to cancel anyone who proffers a view that doesn’t align with their own arbitrary, so-called ‘community guidelines’. These take not the blindest bit of notice of any fundamental rights or freedoms that evolved as the bedrock of what we once thought were civilised societies.

Lost civilisation

And here’s the crux of the point I’m leading you to: It is now nothing less than civilisation, and humanity that created it, that is at risk. Cancel culture is but one of many symptoms of the rapidly accelerating decay of civilisation. The human response to covid, that we predicted just a day after the World Health Organization announced the ‘pandemic’ on 11 March 2020 might be counterproductive to the interests of society, was just the warm-up act. One that would make billions of people fearful of existential threats and become malleable to manipulation by ‘paternalistic’ authorities and states.

Now we have erupting cost of living and energy crises layered onto sky-rocketing inflation rates that could destroy businesses and cause many to lose their homes. Let’s not forget the threat of a nuclear war. That’s if a new virus or a SARS-CoV-2 variant doesn’t get us first.   

Many now look to their governments in much the same way a child might look to their parents. A lot has been learned over the years about the psychology of abuse within families and relationships, and we know many who are abused remain dysfunctionally co-dependent on their abusers. People’s relationship with the state can be similar. Their need for familiarity – however gruesome the experience – eclipses all else.

The British people didn’t cancel Boris Johnson or Liz Truss because they were looking for them to be replaced by a new, charismatic disruptive leader who might draw us out of the madness of the last few years and lead us into some kind of wonderful, Utopian future. No, they wanted the old, familiar decrepit system back. The one that is responsible for the very environmental, political, economic and social devastation that is all around us. Why not then insert one of those trusted alumni of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders program in the UK’s top job?

From women….

‘People who menstruate’, and especially ‘gestational parents’ (these, incidentally, being accepted woke terms for ‘women’ and ‘pregnant women’ respectively) and their ability to produce viable progeny, are essential to the continuation of our species. I make this bold statement as a biologist, ecologist and health scientist of some 40 years standing. But I will also make it with one proviso: we actually won’t need women and men to come together in the manner of our parents and ancestors before them throughout our half million or so years of evolutionary history.

Biotechnology including gene editing – of which mRNA technology represents just the thin end of the wedge – is more than capable of growing babies in women, in men, or even in laboratories. While they’re at it, you can have your own, gene-edited designer baby or a hire a new member of your team who’s brain is implanted with an artificial memory. This isn’t science fiction. They’re working on it as I write this blog, these being among the many emerging technologies described in Klaus Schwab’s Fourth Industrial Revolution book (2017). For many business and political leaders, Schwab’s view of the so-called fourth industrial revolution offers the blueprint for our transhuman future. Just don’t count me in.  

Back to woke terminology: the term chest-feeding is to replace breast-feeding. Is this the transhumanist future you had in mind?  

….to dead babies

Now to a highly topical and important issue. Midwives started reporting major anomalies in pregnancy and births last year in many heavily vaccinated countries, the reports being dismissed as scientific misinformation and anecdote. Now we’re seeing some unequivocal signs of spikes in deaths of newborns – the latest reports emerging last month from Scotland, a country that keeps tight records on such things.

The most likely culprit, we were told, was covid. Turns out there wasn’t enough of this disease around to have been a contributor. Members of the public responded on social media with more reports of babies born to relatives and friends dying shortly after birth. Some, understandably you might think, asked if it might be possible that covid-19 vaccines were responsible.

That’s when cancel culture again raised its ugly head. Such babble had to be shut down immediately and forcibly in the tried and tested way, being labelled as conspiracy theorist drivel perpetrated by “anti-vaxxers”. Predictable you might say.

But then, in a response from Public Health Scotland (PHS), there followed another indicator of the breakdown of what we might call civilisation. The Scottish Herald reported PHS stating the following:

“….identifying the vaccination status of the mothers, even at aggregate level, would result in harm to those individuals and others close to them, through actual or perceived judgement of the effects of their personal vaccination decision”. 

PHS added, “the outcomes of such analysis, whilst being uninformative for public health decision making, had the potential to be used to harm vaccine confidence at this critical time”. 

All the systems that should be slamming on the brakes of this almost ubiquitous mRNA technology, have been deliberately paralysed. The anecdotes that used to provide societies with early warnings have been silenced. Mothers have been repeatedly told (lied to) by people in white coats that the covid-19 jabs are safe. When there is an accumulation of data suggesting otherwise, some of it admirably collated on the website Totality of Evidence, they turn a blind eye.

Mothers who decline vaccination will continue to be side lined by the mainstream medical system and sometimes by their friends and families. Most are insufficiently empowered to exercise their right of refusal and cannot face the marginalisation and discrimination that results, an issue the woke brigade are purposefully ignoring.

Without any safety data, babies who escape the potential lethality of their mothers’ jabs will then get hit with the same jab at 6 months of age, courtesy of the latest decisions by US and European regulators. Possibly several times a year for life. Have we forgotten the foundational principle of toxicology as laid down by Paracelsus some 450 years ago? The one that says it is the dose that makes the poison?

Escaping the matrix

The events of the last two and a half years have placed critical thought, common sense and respect for our fellow humans in suspended animation. This situation is at risk of endangering the survival of our own species. It can only be righted when enough of us have woken up to the surrealism of the current era that many reluctantly accept as the ‘new normal’. We have to learn, and teach those around us, to protect ourselves from the abuse of the state and its accomplices in Big Pharma, Big Biotech and Big Social.

We may also want to understand better why it is deemed by some in a woke world to be OK, or even the ‘right thing’, to disrespect and discriminate against women, then lie to pregnant women and deny them rights when they lose their babies. In a sane world such behaviours would be regarded as criminal.

Many of us have no intention of ever giving up on women’s rights, the rights of unborn or newly born children, or our species. But to be effective, we will need to learn to speak up and speak out with open hearts and minds, in ways that don’t cancel or shut others down. We need to keep those who have ‘drunk the Kool Aid’ receptive to new, accurate, live-saving information bearing in mind they now inhabit an environment that has been carefully crafted to make them shut down to any information that diverges from the narratives set by their authoritarian masters who are also their abusers. More on that next time.
