The Evidence-Free Claim that the Covid Vaccines Saved 20 Million Lives is Easily Debunked Tue Jan 28, 2025 13:00 | Nick Rendell
The Covid vaccines saved 20m lives. That's the Lancet figure that gets quoted uncritically by media and politicians. But it's easy to show it's junk, says Nick Rendell. The projections of Covid deaths are off the scale!

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3You always know you're being shafted when the best reason to vote yes is you're scared to vote No. not a concrete reason, not a logical argument, not even a financial calculation enters into your decision. The mythical fear of 'them' being annoyed at you and somehow punishing the nation and you as well is the only real reason you can see for voting yes.
What could we not live without in the Nice treaty?
Amsterdam allows enlargement. Nobody has told me any other good things that will actually be caused by this treaty as opposed to the absence of people being annoyed at me.
Our reputation? In negotiations, you need to be able to walk away to have strength. We walked away from this treaty already - this gives us strength in future negotiations.
What will happen if we vote yes?
History will record that during the period of the Flood and Moriarty tribunals, when we finally realised our Taoiseach was on the take and our laws were bought and sold for, we handed over control of our state services to the biggest ongoing swindle the world has ever seen (utilities and services companies, the people who will run our water and electricity and waste etc., the enrons and the vivendis have been involved in all the really big rip offs over the last few years).
... it will give time more time for more people to find out how
the current runaway system of robber-baron destroyer-of-the-earth
Capitalism is doing to us all and where it is rapidly heading.
Since a joint WTO - EU meeting follows immediately on the Monday
after the NICE vote, the full whack of the GATS treachy will be
signed up to very quickly by our 'representatives' in the un-elected
EU Commission, not that even if they were elected they still wouldn't
sign, since elected politicians in every other EU countries never even
bothered to ask their citizens if they wanted to sign up to NICE too.
Dont forget the EU has even more corruption than the domestic political scene has, it has more loot for a start. Why else would P Flynn,David Byrne, Pat Cox, Geraghty, De Rossa and no doubt soon Ruari Quinn be so desperate to hop aboard the gravy train, once the Irish electorate gets tired of their broken promises and lying arguaments?
