You Don’t Say! Boris Johnson Admits He’s ‘Not Sure’ Coronavirus Lockdowns Actually Worked
Breitbart ^ | 09/29/2024 | Kurt Zindulka

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has belatedly admitted that he is “not sure” if the draconian lockdown measures imposed on the nation by his government during the Chinese coronavirus were effective in stemming the tide of the illness.

In an excerpt of his upcoming memoirs published in the Daily Mail, Mr Johnson appears to have admitted to being swept up in the panic of the Wuhan virus, sensationally revealing that he considered a literal invasion of The Netherlands to obtain covid vaccines being blocked by the EU, as well as admitting that he had growing doubts about the effectiveness of the lockdown regime he foisted upon the British people.

I just talked with a former co-worker. He said that both his wife and a close friend were both vaccine injured. After taking the second shot, both of them had mini strokes, are disabled and can no longer work. Even he doesn’t feel as good as he once did after getting both shots.

On the other hand, I got three shots with no effects, but have now gotten COVID three times. The second case provoked all sorts of problems including pulmonary blood clots, vitiligo, hives, and “COVID fingers and toes” (micro clots in the extremities).

I never got the shots but got Covid and pneumonia at the same time in Feb 2022. Been suffering with Long Covid since Oct/Nov 2022. I am waiting for the day when we can all sue for the injuries we’ve all suffered because of it.

He should be executed for the damage done by lockdowns.

Damage control.

Somehow he thinks this is going to work out in his favor.

There are many that deserve the same fate. Arguably, Fauci up first.

Sorry for your long illness. The Chinese should pay for this global disaster.

I’m sure his timing has to do with polling.

It’s probably getting difficult to stand on the side he was on at this point.

I do not believe these people actually give a rats ass about the truth, civil rights or even what economic havoc and hardships they create with their decisions.

It’s just about money and power.

If I remember correctly, he got COVID and was quite ill. His “in country” & the world’s medical establishments were producing “studies” that made Black Plague look warm and fuzzy. Then factor in he is in an “at risk” category - overweight. He probably has several other risk factors we don’t know about. All of this probably combined to panic him into making those decisions.

Of course it was. People had enough.

But they managed 6 January extremely well.

Instead of it being an event which questions the legitimacy of Biden who probably did not win the elections in 2020, they managed to turn this into a purge for their political opposition, discredit those people questioning the elections, and intimidating those people who most fervent support Trump.

In one swoop, they managed to eliminate the head of the Proud Boys, Oath Takers and one more organization which would have been a pain in Biden’s ass over the last four years. This was a literal Stalin like purge. But on the bright side, we at least didn’t take all the opposition out back and shoot them in the head as is often done elsewhere: https://youtu.be/kLUktJbp2Ug?si=xtz86a2aRLjq5PN3

***This was ONLY possible because most of the government bureaucracy and MSM/big tech backed Biden so much so that they became party to the elections and let themselves become tools in what was a political purge.***

well, to be honest, Johnson did say that the lockdowns saved lives...but what was unforseen was that the virus came in waves, a 'double hump'. "All that privation, all that seclusion – it was starting to deprive the virus of targets; we were protecting the NHS and ­saving lives...It was only later that I started to look at the curves of the pandemic around the world – the double hump that seemed to rise and fall irrespective of the approaches taken by governments. There were always two waves, whether you were in China, where lockdowns were ruthlessly enforced, or in Sweden, where they took a more voluntary approach".. See the full article here

For more on Johnson's personal bout with covid, (with honorable mention of Nixon and Trump) see here

and for the real story on why the EU maliciously held up sending a vaccine developed and paid for by England to the Brits, infuriating Johnson, see this exerpt

Fauci should be #1 to be tried.
