High Court Judge decides Parents do not need to know number of kids who’ve died due to the Covid-19 Vaccine because they’re too stupid to understand the data
BY THE EXPOSÉ ON FEBRUARY 1, 2022 • ( 86 COMMENTS )
https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/02/01/judge-decides-kids-covid-vaccine-deaths-confidential/
Parents have been denied the right to know the rate of adverse reactions to the Covid-19 vaccination in children.
A High Court judge in the UK has sided with government policy to keep secret the number of children who have suffered adverse reactions—including any who have died—as a result of having the vaccine.
Why not invite Russia to join NATO?
Not sure that fits the narrative these days.
That opportunity is long gone.

Russia is very interesting. Ekaterinburg was a haven for Mafia but has likely cleaned up some. The place is vast and some enormous industrial complexes, complete cities. But with the accompanying toxic waste.The women are ruthless when they have their hooks into you. Some great people , putting up with very substandard infrastructure mostly. I was there in the 2000’s working. The medical situation was rather poor for the proles.

Eating white bread is racism.
PM’s comments about white bread seen as a ‘manifestation of white privilege and patriarchy’ (13 Feb)
Sky News host Rowan Dean says Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s comment about liking white bread was a “confronting manifestation of white privilege and patriarchy” for Professor Nareen Young.
This comes after Prime Minister Scott Morrison said during his appearance on Sunrise that he likes “normal white bread”.
…
Professor Young on her The Drum appearance said she thought the white bread comment showed “a deep lack of understanding as to who works in this country” and “a deep intersection of race and class”.
I would’ve thought eating brown bread was worse.
What if I make a sandwich where the top slice is white and the bottom slice is brown?
It’s fake news, you doofus. No kidding , I don’t want you to go anywhere and that’s because I want to see how long it takes for you to post an accurate comment. I’m patient as I think we’ll see this miracle in the next decade.

It has since been reported by fact checkers PolitiFact that these figures, extracted from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), were a result of a glitch in the database.
The data had been cited by an Ohio lawyer, representing three “whistleblowers” during a panel discussion on Covid-19 vaccines on 24 January.
Peter Graves, spokesperson for the Defense Health Agency’s Armed Forces Surveillance Division, told PolitiFact that “in response to concerns mentioned in news reports” the division reviewed data in the DMED “and found that the data was incorrect for the years 2016-2020.”
Oh, right, internet “fact checkers” and they conveniently had a “glitch in the database” for the previous 5 years. Pretty big glitch which went unnoticed for 5 years.
Don’t let anyone sell you any bridges.

UpTicking your own comments now, Knuckle Dragger?
The West hasn’t helped this situation in Ukraine.
1. Russia has long opposed Ukraine joining NATO.
2. Russia has asked for assurance that Ukraine will not join NATO.
3. Russia has asked that NATO doesn’t expand further east.
4. The West has rejected Russia’s demand.
5. The West maintains any independent country is free to join NATO.

What is the ideal distance for estimating crowd numbers?
I don’t know who said 3 million, but that might be a tad over-cooked.
About the antagonist who abused the Canberra protester: what that antagonist revealed is that it is not as if such persons are in the dark about the truth. Rather, they know the truth, clearly; and they know that the msm is not about conveying the truth. The phenomenon, then, is not that people are unaware that they are lied to, but that lies and hate and greed are the preferred and willed modes of existence. Some phenomenon.

Not sure that’s an excuse for KKK.
Gillard was running the Government and had the toxic dwarf Rudd huffing and puffing in the undergrowth.

You make an excellent case and put it so cogently.
Do continue.
BTW, obviously you are double vaxxed. Any thoughts on the booster?

BJ, I’m sure I’ll hear much more at family dinner tomorrow night, but Daughter’s observations so far:
Everything from their arrival to departure was very well organised.
They turned up (in a school bus) near midnight Friday, greeted by a vocal crowd and ushered to their campsite, shown where toilets, showers, free coffee, food and clothes (for those not accustomed to Canberra nights) could be found and almost immediately fell asleep.
Saturday morning they were briefed prior to the march. They were told that counter-protestors would probably try to disrupt the day, and warned not to engage in confrontations or any breaches of law. But these people had no intention of causing trouble. They were a committed crowd of young people, singles, oldies and family groups, of all colours from many nationalities. And they were all of one mind: to protect the young from the CHOs’ orders, to reject the restrictions imposed on their lives and recaim their freedom.
Daughter commented on ‘the vibe’; a buzz of optimism and determination that united all and made friends of strangers. She truly felt proud to be walking with these people, everyday Australians who have had enough of tyranny. Sat morning she spoke of ‘soldiers’ mingling with the crowd. These were the servicement and veterans who finally led the march, earning praise and respect every step of the way.
She is just over an hour away now. I can’t wait to see her and Son in Law, and tell them again how immensely proud I am of them.
PS: I must also mention my wonderful Grandies, who have been caring for his aged, dementia-stricken mother while they were away. This care included preparing her meals and endless cups of tea, administering her diabetes tests and medications, sitting and chatting with her and doing the pants down/pants up thing after they’ve taken her to the toilet. Quite extraordinary for 19, 15 and 13 year old girls. We were just a phone call away, of course, but they managed brilliantly.

Also multiply due to the fact that larger distances in Aus means the people that do turn up from interstate have a bigger investment in terms of kms travelled than other parts of the world.

Canberra Freedom Convoy demands, ‘Sack them all!’
The Canberra Freedom Convoy is an awful lot bigger than the mainstream press would like you to believe. Although they have been in Canberra for nearly two weeks, today’s rally grew to an extraordinary size with the lawn outside Parliament House filling to hold tens of thousands.
Trucks – adorned with banners, messages, and flags – meandered slowly through the pedestrians. Their playful horns had to compete with cheers and wolf-whistles from a crowd in high spirits.
‘No more mandates!’ read one sign. ‘End tyranny. Free Australia!’ said another. ‘Freedom convoy to Canberra. Since 2020 I’ve lost my business.’
And there it is – the heart of the issue. People have joined the Canberra Freedom Convoy because they have lost more than they can tolerate. It is not a piece of clever political incitement, or some kind of alt-right witchcraft.
Organic movements like this rise for the same reason Australian politics is awash with minor parties – Labor and Liberal have lost touch. By cracking down on Covid, those in charge constructed cages of safety that not everybody wants to live in.
The frantic search for something better has spawned political diversity. If left to its own devices, these parties and rallies will condense into a coherent opposition and cause the ‘big two’ some serious problems at the federal election.
One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson was on the ground amongst protesters, while United Australia Leader Craig Kelly signed protesters into Parliament House four days ago so that they could deliver their demands to the Prime Minister. Nationals MP George Christensen livestreamed from Canberra last week, calling for an independent federal investigative body to address misconduct during Covid which led to people losing their jobs due to vaccine mandates. Liberal Democrats candidates have also been busy, voicing their admiration for the convoy on social media.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison re-iterated that he supports mandatory vaccination only for workers in high-risk situations with vulnerable people, yet during National Cabinet he has done nothing whatsoever to stop state premiers and chief ministers mandating three shots for almost all workers – including the implementation of vaccine passports which effectively leaves the unvaccinated locked out of their own economy.
Despite what the Prime Minister says, vaccines are mandatory unless you want to live on the street.
Why hasn’t Morrison been pressed on this question by reporters with access? Where is the journalistic integrity of ‘trusted’ news organisations who fail – repeatedly – to point out the obvious untruth in the Prime Minister’s words? Indeed, why haven’t they asked the state premiers to justify vaccine mandates when their workforces are full of double-dosed, Covid-infected staff? Australians do not require a medical degree or strings of letters after their names to sense that something has gone amiss.
This silence from the press is one of the reasons ordinary people made their way down the avenue leading toward the lawn where a stage had been set up to host the afternoon’s events. Independent press and livestreamers shot footage revealing protesters peacefully waving thousands of Australian flags in the perfect Summer weather in scenes that looked more like a music festival than a ‘terrorist event’.
Their message was clear.
‘Sack them all!’ blared out in front of Parliament House, shouted at such volume that it must have been audible through the foundations.
Politicians should be worried. Even in Canberra, a city dominated by public servants supposedly loyal to those ensconced in the halls of power, there were plenty of vehicles honking and tooting in support of the rally. Could it be that the silent majority are a lot louder when they have a horn beneath their palm?
What may have started out as a few brave ‘fringe dwellers’ has gathered speed, spurred on in no small part by the enormous truck protest taking place in Ottawa.
The crowd was littered with ‘solidarity’ banners, flown in sympathy with their Canadian counterparts. Another wave of cheers erupted for them. Canadian truck drivers have suffered through freezing conditions after police confiscated their fuel, their crowdfunding money, and then threatened to take away their children.
Livestreamers and independent media reported poor service coverage in Canberra, with most enduring constant interruptions to their broadcast. With so many people in attendance, the towers could not handle the traffic. It didn’t matter. The beauty of social media means that technical difficulties and selective reporting from the legacy press can no longer stifle coverage. While they put up pictures and say ‘thousands’, the audience flocks to Twitter and Facebook to count tens of thousands.
If anything, the spread of Omicron appears to have loosened the shackles of fear. Even with most states over 93 per cent double-dosed, it does not mean that the figure was achieved ‘freely’. The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation’s decision to reclassify ‘fully vaccinated’ as three shots last week, after lobbying from state premiers, has exasperated the spirit of rebellion.
‘Enough is enough!’ reads a common placard.
People are fed up. Let’s be honest, Australians have never liked politicians very much and after two years of wall-to-wall Covid control, they want their lives back.

Winston, at 7.52:
Appreciate the unpaywalled article about QR codes and Colesworth people. It’s interesting reading, but it says nothing like the assertion that the supermarkets will ‘integrate the QR code with your bank account’.
The reason they’re interested is that paying using a QR code (which had been around for months now, but if you don’t go to a supermarket you wouldn’t know that) through a mobile phone it gets around them forking out for Apple Pay fees.
This is simple. It is not splitting the atom. It is not new, despite what some would have you believe – if said people have only just found this out, it is not the fault of other people so exploding with rage just makes it funny.
If you have a phone you can be tracked. Facial recognition technology exists. If you use a rewards card, and/or are on social media your data is harvested – this is why you receive offers ‘suited to you’.

“ The court recognizes the… participation in the phase three experiment, …as voluntarily taking a fatal risk and legally recognized as suicide”
The West maintains any independent country is free to join NATO.
Yep. So they should. It’s a defensive alliance not an offensive one.
So pray tell, why were NATO counties in Afghanistan? The Afghans didn’t attack anyone, they sheltered Bin Laden after the fact. Is that in fact an act of aggression? Sure the Americans had every right to say “hand him over, or else” and then carry through on the “or else” but nothing to do with NATO.
“Yeah. But I still like him a lot better than biden or scomo.”

Vladimir Putin and Religion
https://religionfacts.com/putin
Rubbish, Cassie. I am amazed you are so naive to say something like that. Putin is a very smart man and a strategic thinker. He is not a believer. He realized that the Orthodox Church is a very useful glue for Greater Russia. Any examination of Russian history will show that. It’s also a good counterbalance to the endless threat of Islam from the east and south. He persecutes other forms of Christianity, that fits with the state religion theory of classic nationalism. He doesn’t believe, but he knows very well that a lot of people do.
The guy shows his Marxist-Leninist upbringing and training quite clearly, although I don’t think any of that took. But the lessons of the greasy pole in the KGB certainly took. A more cunning operator would be hard to find on the planet right now.
What this sabre-rattling is about I do not know. I think he could probably recite Sun Tzu from memory though. Thus the idea of a frontal assault on Ukraine seems rather odd, which makes me think something else is in the wings. In the past I’ve said a coup de main on Belorussia would seem to be easier, and that would be in keeping with his apparent aims.
But he is getting old. And old powerful men have a propensity to go loopy. Especially if mere humans defy them.

But he is getting old. And old powerful men have a propensity to go loopy. Especially if mere humans defy them.
And particularly if they do not believe in an afterlife?
putin is 69, hardly old and decrepit and who are you to decide his faith is insincere?
Why Does the Russian Orthodox Church Support Vladimir Putin?
https://restoftheiceberg.org/posts/2018/4/2/why-does-the-russian-orthodox-church-support-vladimir-putin
[…] in the 1500’s, as Russia finally banished the Mongols who had ruled them for 200 years. Political and religious leaders started to call the country Holy Russia. They claimed that God favoured their land and that he would bless the rest of the world through them. This idea has never gone away. In the 1800’s, the author Dostoevsky claimed that it was the destiny of Russia “to revive and save the world.”
G.K. Chesterton made the same prediction as Dostoevsky.
Where has Putin stashed his cash? Who gets it after he gone? After the first billion, why do they bother?
And I might add Adam has lost the plot.
I don’t know a single person who has been vaccinated who is wringing their hands about their decision.
Just wishing our politicians will put the last nails in the lockdown, mandate, passport, coffin.
How many here predicted we would be in full lockdowns again by now?
LOL. How about focusing on our own cesspit of tyranny and corruption.
“putin is 69, hardly old and decrepit and who are you to decide his faith is insincere?”
Indeed.
Our Lady of Fatima promised the conversion of Russia.
history here
BoN, do you believe that Putin is more cynical than Biden or Scomo? Or BoJo, Macron, et ceteris? Do you believe that any of the above are genuine Christians? Do they behave like Christians?
They are politicians, successful ones, and hence duplicitous arseholes one and all.
Just watched this Fox clip on Youtube.
Canadian protester slams Trudeau: ‘Does not deserve’ to be prime minister.
At the 2min 40 secs point reporter picks a random man holding Canadian flag outside Parliament House in Ottawa.
The 60 year old man then gives a very emotional account of what has happened to him and his family due to the mandates and gives his view on Trudeau. Compelling interview and there will be plenty like this in Australia.
Unfortunately I have no trust in our Governments not to push the mandates further.
Are there any other black belt presidents or pm’s on the planet?
You’re obviously of those “some” as you’re usually the one ever so keen to declare who YOU consider is NOT Roman Catholic enough to be Christian.
Why so coy with Cassie?
Rhetorical.
Getting old. He has things to do and time is running out. And in Russia 69 is indeed old. For men their life expectancy is 68 at best.
I have no idea what his health situation is like, that would be a state secret buried so deep you’d never find it.
“Getting old.”
Yet above you described him as “decrepit”. I wouldn’t describe Putin as decrepit, that’s a description for the Sniffer in Chief….who is actually more than decrepit, he’s a walking rotting corpse.
They will. The Sheep love to be governed hard. The overlords will keep pushing to test the boundaries. It’s all part of WEF plan.
You will own nothing and be happy.
They must be body doubles playing ice hockey & taking part in exhibition judo matches.
I really wonder what they pump into Biden at his lakehouse each weekend.
Xiden reminds me of the bloke who chose the wrong cup in Indiana Jones and last crusade.

I may be a biased Orthodox Christian, but who are we to see into the heart of another man and judge him? The fact is that Russia is more of Christian nation than any of the Western nation. I do understand you have problems with the Protestantising of Russia, but the ways the Russians see it, Russia is the third Rome.
The Orthodox and the Catholics trace apostolic succession from the first century. If you really want to experience what Christianity is like in ancient time, just invite yourself to an Orthodox or a Byzantine Eastern Catholic Divine Liturgy on Sunday. You may see a different side of Putin.
Adrenochrome, mixed with Milo.
I made no such claim, bare faced liar.
I have objected many times, to the evangelical, baptist, sda etc denial that Catholics are are even Christian.
And of course I believe the Catholic church is the one holy apostolic church, it’s the creed.

Rosie.
McClown was salivating today on introducing new “ measures” soon.
Rosie you fine with the double mastectomy and hysterectomy for all ladies over 50 years old?
It will save lives you know.
I don’t even know why NATO is still in business- it’s not 1975 and there’s no Soviet Union. Western Europe aren’t the good guys anymore. The empty suits in DC, Westminster and Brussels really seem to want a war though. This constant demonization of Russia is a sign of this. I’d rather have Putin any day than the hollow men of the West with their whispers like rats’ feet on broken glass in our dry cellar.
The pumped Hitler full of meth, 100% he’s on something.
It was Putin and the Russians that stepped in to save the Christians in Syria….whilst the UK, France and the US stood by and did nothing.
I agree. The West will have big problems with Fifth Columnists.
The West is pretty much circling the drain at this point.
Putin is pretty happy with the price of oil & gas & uranium over the past 12 months.
If you see than Keith Suter chap on TV this week saying their break even is 55/60 bucks a barrel, mark your Russia retard bingo card.
That’s last decade thinking.
Large parts of the Russian oil ecosystem now produce at less than 20/b which is lower than a lot of the global giants produce at.
No one wants a war apart from a few Ukrainian billionaires who are trying to squeeze Biden for a a few more bucks before the party’s over.
The West is pretty much circling the drain at this point.
I’m sorry to say I think you are correct- just say Australia did get its act together, who do we pal up with? I reckon Japan, Taiwan, S Korea. Russia? No sure.

Correct.
I’m waiting for him to start reimposing abritrary and gratuitous LockDans on us all again.
That’ll get Kerry Stokes for being a big meanie to him…
The third vaccination shot.
Over the past month open interest in 150/b & 200/b calls hit a decade high.
At that price Russia laughs so hard.
It sells subsidised product into their domestic market.
And exports to those morons in Western Europe.
See the footnotes.
It was in the Courte de Kangarou.
With a REAL JURDGE presiding.
Some lightweight (PPE Oxford need I say more) called Liz Truss from the BlowJob government flew over to Moscow for the day to just abuse them.read all about it. I really despise England sometimes.
The old Anglophone alliance idea still has its merits.
Albeit all members have to de-woke themselves and develop long-term immunity to that particularly nasty strain of Marxism first.
Then we can look at an ASEAN/SEATO arrangement again. But Australia will need the economic and cultural maturity to understand that it needs to pay the necessary costs and have a competent and well-resourced ADF and diplomatic service if it is going to be the ‘good neighbour’ it frequently tells us it aspires to be…
Probably more London than the whole of England.
I may be a biased Orthodox Christian, but who are we to see into the heart of another man and judge him?
Are you concerned with pronouncing on the fate of his immortal soul, or on trying to anticipate what he’ll do as a head of state of a major military power.
If the former, I agree with you.
If the latter, I also agree in the sense that I think it wise to suspend judgment and plan for any possibility.
It had standing?
Considering this week was spent on trans rights, you know Australia has their priorities right.
That’s new? Locking out the twice-envenomated from life after May, perhaps.
But the 3rd stab to keep your job has been round since late November.
they aren’t business partners?
No one wants a war apart from a few Ukrainian billionaires who are trying to squeeze Biden for a a few more bucks before the party’s over.
I presume “Biden” is shorthand for “.. squeeze the US taxpayer for a few more bucks (less 10% for the big guy)…”.
I’m not sure Russia will invade Ukraine. Putin is sabre rattling. He knows Russia be subject to massive sanctions if he does.
The only country that can ever invade another country without economic consequences and the threat of sanctions is the US.
More standing than you could poke a baguette at, mon ami.
Albeit all members have to de-woke themselves and develop long-term immunity to that particularly nasty strain of Marxism first.
yes- if someone like Farage was UK PM then absolutely
ScoMo piping up about Ukraine is hilarious.
It’s like when Krudd suspended his campaign to get briefed on the gas attack in Syria.
A gas attack which was proven to be a hoax (h/t Aaron Mate for exposing & to Jimmy Dore for amplifying it).
Seriously, it’s none of our business.
Plenty of people here predicted this, Rosie.
DrB – The difference between Putin and the others is that Putin has more money than Croesus. That box is ticked. So he has no need for any more lucre.
A long time ago I mentioned on the old Cat the masters thesis Putin wrote. Long before the fall of the Soviet Union. It was on national control of the mining industry. When he got power he then did exactly what he outlined in his thesis. The mining and petrochemical industries in Russia are thus now effectively controlled by the state, if not so much owned. It’s the fascist model again: the industries are clients of the state but not centrally planned like communism. A more sanitary term might be mercantilism, which fits also with the use of the Orthodox Church as a nation building force.
I don’t think Putin is cynical at all. I think he is the best diplomatic operator on Earth, but with a relatively weak economy and a disunited polity. He is rectifying the economy rather well. The muslim situation is quiet right now, but has sometimes popped up, like in Kazan and the Caucasus republics.
Given the effort and money he has spent on moving the Middle East into the shape he wants it (ie. with no gas pipelines to Europe), and the work he has done to establish effective control over the EU energy sector, it would be very strange to throw all that away by starting an inane war. Which again suggests to me there’s something else going on. I suppose we’ll see Wednesday.

Hurrah Cassie! It is Putin that saved the road to Damascus from the marauding infidels. And of course, Damascus is where the other famous jew, Saul who became Paul preached to the Gentiles. And thanks to Paul (with no disrespect to you), we can still eat pork and not get snipped. He was also responsible for the widest distribution of the Torah in the world.
The Orthodox see Putin as someone who has saved the ancient Christian lands. Well, almost. Iraq had ancient Christian communities going back to the early days that were left in ruins. So much for the Americans helping stabilise the world.
Blessings..
Milton Freidman: nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program…
Considering Russia already controls the parts of Ukraine it wants/needs, what would it gain from invading.
Never say never, but I look at it as a low probability.
If I’m wrong, I’ll be the first to say I’m wrong.
The question is, if we roll forward a month & there’s no invasion, will all these pro war chicken hawks dial down their cheerleading ?

This is the third stab to allow you to go to the bottleshop, the pub, have dinner somewhere…
Thanks Davey Boy.
That looks like assault can be added to the list of charges.
Free crack pipes anyone?
“Saul who became Paul preached to the Gentiles. And thanks to Paul (with no disrespect to you), we can still eat pork and not get snipped. He was also responsible for the widest distribution of the Torah in the world.”
Saul was very practical. Getting rid of dietary restrictions and circumcision was the key.
Iraq had ancient Christian communities going back to the early days that were left in ruins. So much for the Americans helping stabilise the world.
yep I wonder if Bush, Howard and Blair ever lose any sleep over this.

I hope she doesn’t have a job tomorrow.
Actually Iraqi Christians seem to go in for cleaning businesses in Melbourne- strike me as very good people with all the right ideas when you chat to them!
Watched 60 Minutes with Jenny Morrison.
She politely destroyed Grace Tame and her bitch crew.
Wrongselen gets his miserable arse handed to him as well.
Let’s see them try to respond. Good luck grubs.
Why would you put yourself through it Farmer Gez?
Sorry bern. As predicted, and unfortunately, it was just a ticket (Mix 106.1):
She was fined for negligent driving.
Gentlepeople, please.
Can we refrain from using the words ‘dietary requirements’ and ‘circumcision’ in the same sentence.
I had calamari rings for dinner.
Thank you.
Tsarist Russia included Ukraine, Belorussia and Poland. If Putin wants to be the new Tsar those places would be on his wish list.
I think he’s a lifelong Russian patriot rather than a wannabe Tsar. But who knows? As I said he’s getting old. He has no sons that we know of.
The trouble of course for Ukraine is to be confronted by a lifelong Russian patriot with a big army and more nukes than anyone else. The art for Putin is to get what he wants without the expected costs (which range from merely horrible to severely radioactive).
Taking one for the team Gez.
Love it.
Evidently that other towering intellect, @spacebunny was unavailable.
Probably scrutinising the REAL EVIDENCES.
she may be a psycho but at least her ideas are mainstream

Jenny is as impressive as Scott is useless. She’s basically caring for a special needs Prime Minister.
Yep.
Mrs Panzer was watching the Married to Raise my Insta Profile show when the Tick-Tock came on.
I almost got a PB for hitting the remote.
1.2 seconds.
Good, but I don’t think I’ll ever get down to my best ever times, which were all during the Andrew O’Keefe era.

I’ve never watched MAFS.
Year after year it’s top 10 in the ratings.
I can’t imagine what people get out of it.
There must be better guilty pleasures.

I’m thinking this would be best when spoken in South Park style: They took our jerbs !
The other fun thing is the hyper hype about Ukraine which is coming from the White House smells awfully like a squirrel exercise. Which the Dems desperately need.
We’ll see this week I suppose. One possible reason for telegraphing an invasion so openly is to set it in peoples’ minds that this is inevitable, therefore unavoidable, therefore to be accepted. Hitler did it with Sudetenland. That only works if the opposition lets it happen, and is a ferociously dangerous stratagem. But Putin is the best on the planet. Who knows, maybe he thinks he can pull it off.
