WATCH: Prof Sunetra Gupta on LockdownTV

Professor Sunetra Gupta was one of the first scientists to publicly criticise the now widely-discredited Imperial Model. Her team’s work at Oxford suggested both that the coronavirus had been in the country much earlier than expected, and that consequently the infection fatality rate was far lower than either WHO or Imperial College had estimated. (She also appeared in our second list of experts coming out against the coronavirus hysteria).

In a wide-ranging interview with Unherd.com‘s Freddie Sayer, Prof Gupta talks antibodies, R0 numbers and much more.

Here are a few choice quotes:

  • “Different countries have had different lockdown policies, and yet what we’ve observed is almost a uniform pattern of behaviour”
  • “Infection Fatality Rate is less than 1 in 1000 and probably closer to 1 in 10,000.”
  • “Remaining in a state of lockdown is extremely dangerous”

Excerpt from an article which disagrees with Oxford’s COVID analysis – quoting economist Tim Hartford. Would appreciate peoples comments: https://www.medicalbrief.co.za/archives/debate-rages-over-severely-flawed-imperial-study-that-sparked-the-uk-lockdown/ “Commenting on this University of Oxford research, Tim Hartford, UK economist writes in a Financial Times report that according to John Ioannidis, an iconoclastic epidemiologist, we know less than we think. But, writes Hartford, we are not completely ignorant. He writes that alongside the COVID-19 death total, there are other clues to the truth. For example, thousands of people were evacuated from Wuhan city in late January and February and most of them were tested. A few tested positive and several were indeed symptom-free, but not the large majority the Oxford version of the tip-of-the-iceberg hypothesis would imply. The entire population of the town of Vò in Italy was repeatedly tested and, while half of the positive cases were asymptomatic, that is still much less than the Oxford model might… Read more »

Anyone remember the infamous “AIDS virUS”?
We are all being played and it’s always the same song. Follow the money and the agenda.
To the masters of the universe….we are the virus and they want us gone, but meanwhile the milking of the herd goes on and the herd is grateful to the industrious pigs overseeing our Animal Farm dystopia.

The problem lies in nature itself…like the wolf pack that humanity unfortunately is.
Do you want to live in a “society” with 99 sheep in the pack and one wolf culling at its will or survive in a pack of wolves tearing one sheep to bits?
Blame nature that the sheeple are too meek, lazy and dumb to go on living and too blind to see the yellow fangs of the presstitutes, political bancksters and political filth that herd them around the slaughter house at their will.

With the best will in the world, I cannot find it in me to blame Nature for anything. You might as well blame a wolf for killing a sheep, as if the wolf had a serious choice there – perhaps something along the lines of, “Well, perhaps I should be a more decent wolf and look for alternative means of satisfying my hunger besides slaughter. What about developing my agricultural skills a bit, so that I could cultivate turnips or something?” A wolf is a wolf, a sheep is a sheep, and Nature is Nature. What’s remarkable about us humans, on the other hand, is that we have individual choices which the wolf and the sheep do not have. We can contemplate your question: Do you want to live in a “society” with 99 sheep in the pack and one wolf culling at its will or survive in a pack… Read more »

Thanks Maxwell. I remembered seeing some of this information a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn’t remember the name. I’m old enough to remember my father spraying DDT on our garden vegetables, but my mother was trained as a fever nurse, so no viruses, bacteria, or insecticides of any description ever survived a scrupulous washing by her hands. That’s probably why I’m still alive, and in good health…

I think (I keep no copies) I previously posted in one of the Off-Guardian’s COVID-19 BTLs (I have insufficient time to scroll through so many) that a/the etiological pathogen that causes COVID-19 was isolated as a virus by a team at McMaster University.

In the above video, Kaufman mentions that claim but does not go into much analysis of the it because the Sunnybrook team had not (either then or to his knowledge) published a detailed academic paper on their methodology. They have (since?) done so.

If you accept Rivers’ viral update of Koch, as interpreted by Kaufman then, while they may well have isolated a/the causative virus as claimed, they have not provably done so.

The point that Kaufman makes is that the ‘methodology’ used by the McMaster team — which to Kaufman is ascertainable from what little has been publicized by the team and which is really the crux of the issue — cannot result in the degree of purification and visualisation necessary to establish that anything like a virus has been isolated, let alone underpin any ‘proof’ that a virus is the causative agent of COVID-19 or any other disease.

Here is a short monograph by Kevin P. Corbett MSc PhD that makes essentially the same argument that Kaufman makes, that is to say, methodologically speaking:

Where is the Evidence for the Existence of the Novel Coronavirus?

I must admit, I only discovered David Crowe during the Covid-19 saga, but looking back on his work, he’s been active in tracing viral panics since the days of HIV-AIDs, which was the first thing he became suspicious about. It’s a long story, but from his perspective, the SARS-CoV-2 “viral panic” is just one more in a series of viral panics which take place from time to time, and was to some extent predictable.

“no matter what the cost” is precisely the kind of so called thinking that resulted in the adoption of the “lockdown” measures in the first place.
“no matter what the cost” would only be a reasonable approach to policy-making in a world of unlimited resources. Trying to do something “no matter what the cost” will inevitably result in more harm than benefit.

Of course our motivations are determined by our education and a lot of other things, but the practical fact of being able to ponder and compare different courses of action, then be able and let to choose after premeditation which one to follow, is what we refer to when speaking of freedom.

Acting impulsively and without restraint is not freedom, as I conceive it; it’s exactly the opposite, for, one is acting thoughtlessly; but I understand that in this day and age it is perceived as being a manifestation of one’s “freedom”.

However, by the same token, you can’t forbid me, or anyone else, to know something, on the grounds that it might not coincide with other people’s experience.

ROUND ONE Professor Sunetra Gupta correctly summed up the situation when she said lockdowns are a middle-class luxury which the poor cannot afford. It’s also a luxury small businesses can’t afford or small property owners who count on rental income for their economic survival. But most importantly, lockdowns are a predicament liberal democracies cannot enforce without becoming totalitarian. And this brings me to the millions donated by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to the Imperial College. In 2018, the Imperial College received $14.5 million in grants from the Gates Foundation to improve and expand access to health care in developing countries. Euphemistically this means testing new and improved vaccines on indigenous populations.

The small number of serological tests’ errors are procedural only while most of these are interpretative errors due to confusion about immune response lag. Say Monday one may test IgA negative but by Friday becomes test positive for IgA then in some time later tests negative for IgA but positive for IgM and/or IgG. It is not a failure of serological test as supposedly “confusing” for laymen results are due to 7-10 days of lag between inoculation and development of specific group of antibodies which… Read more »

I suppose as a Professor at Oxford, she may have to tread a little carefully so I don’t hold it against her or think the omission unduly diminishes the credibility of the other points she made. I was actually quite surprised she went as far as she did with some of her points.

Loved your story, Harry. I have also found that the more highly educated my good friends are, in general, the more they show gullibility. And I thought they were intelligent! Another friend of mine has not been well educated (except by life), and she is far more aware. Most gullible friend, am sad to say, is a medical doctor living in Germany who I’ve known and liked for over 30 years.

This is exactly my experience. Most of my friends on Facebook and Twitter are very pro lock down. They find my attitude and posts really baffling but what I’ve found is that there are also many who disagree with the lock down but remain silent. I started off quietly, posting an alternative view here and there but now I’ve gone unapologetically full rant anti lockdown. But the other day I decided to just start talking to random people in the street about this crazy situation and most of them agreed. I think there is a danger of being too infected by social media and msm thinking that it is real life attitudes when in fact most normal people are much more sensible and less brain washed than we imagine. It gives me hope.

Prof Gupta seems to be basically saying that there are too many variables, too many unknowns to model it accurately. Half an hour to not say very much at all. It was good though to see her suggesting that the ending of “lockdown” would be a good thing.

I hoped that the exposing of Cummings and earlier Ferguson, indicates a battle at the top of government between British Loyalists and the CIA patsies who have destroyed the UK economy, but I won’t hold my breath. I think the UK became pretty much under total US control in 2005. It looks more like just scapegoating to protect Johnson, as the people realise most of the lockdown was a scam, even if they don’t realise it was a scam to cover up for the 9 trillion stollen from the American people and we were just cover.

“[The UK’s] Pirbright institute has coronavirus patent through Serco…”

In the decade and a half from Wall Street’s early mass-investor realization of the profit potential of gentech neary 20,000 patents of human DNA were registered, many thousands more of animal, plant and microbial DNA, including many on aspects of the use of coronaviruses as vehicles for the delivery of gene therapy and adjuvant sensitivity and thousands related to the technology of gene manipulation. Only a very small proportion of those are part of the currently-despised Gates Gang’s coronavirus and generalized vaccination portfolio. Suggest you get some background or get a life.

With the supposed pending availability of antibody tests for all to access (albeit I’m not sure how reliable any result they produce can be) I really relish the prospect of everybody who takes one being found to be positive. I’d really like to see the Government explain that away. Unfortunately I suspect it’s probably more likely that the tests will just throw out random positive/negative results.

Hi Judy Virologists and paleovirologists disproved ” germ theory ” in the new study of human virome also . Both the PCT tests and antibody tests are meaningless . Antibody tests do not prove anything . If you have corona antibody you may have current infection or you may be immune ( antibody says you have corona antibody so you either have it or had it and are immune or maybe you are not immune). Antibody test just says you have an antibody. As you mentioned there are also false positives and negatives , cross contamination with other viruses, on top of the contaminated unpurified rna transcription . Usage of PCR test does not determine cause of disease and cannot be used to . It is not surprising they did not test everyone to start with as the bogus fatality rate( probably influenza and other sickness and age)was only based… Read more »

Its a bureaucrat war against open society and free, unrehearsed, spontaneous movement of individuals in the environment the bureaucrats want to control. Its a militarized design seeking to centralise control of each the behavior and access to information of individuals at the nano levels. Identity of, and gated access control, requiring each person to buy a ticket from them in order to negotiate one’s self in the bureaucratic society is their goal. Total dependency on a fully controlled system,, barter would queer their deal, as would a more efficient block chain.. invention.
What is needed is an independent financial system and system of providing support to the independents that fail and need support. Support in time of need is the only reason people put up with the cronies that run the state.

My calling was never to study science, but to help people. That I ended up in science is coincidence. I started my medical career in Australia. At that time Australia had a shortage of doctors and it was fairly easy for a Dutch doctor to work there. The positions offered weren’t the ‘best’ places, like Sydney or Melbourne, but far off places like Tasmania or Outback Queensland. For me that was not a problem, in fact it was adventure! So I ended up in the outback, first in a small city in the outback where I worked on A&E for 2 times 3 months (I made rotations every 3 months) and then as rural GP for 3 months. And I learned about the Australian medical system where Australian graduated doctors had a gag clausule saying that they had to work in rural places for, I think, 4 years, or else… Read more »

Very interesting and thoughtful, as usual Willem.

Trivial point: when I was a kid there was a drama series on the radio called “Flying Doctor”, set in Australia, and with Australian actors, but made by the BBC in England. I think there was a TV version, but I never saw that.

I presume they still have such a service. It was aimed at remote farmsteads or sheep stations in the outback, and in those days, they’d communicate with them via radio. Perhaps it would be done via the internet now, and perhaps a lot of remote diagnosis can be done that way.

Willem. Just picking-up on one point about the harm of smoking. King James the I of England (James VI of Scotland) wrote a Counterblast agains the evils of tobacco: it blackens the heart, lungs and brain. I wondered how James knew that, and then recalled he always had a front seat at the execution of traitors (Hanging, drawing and quartering) in which the victims heart was removed (sometimes still beating). He clearly took a very close interest in proceedings. The Guy Fawkes gang and Walter Raleigh were all committed pipe-smokers and thus James may already have been quite anti-smoking, preferring the tea that was introduced by his Portugese wife, Catherine of Braganza….

This week it was explained to us that the company sees the lockdown as a 3 phase process at least. Phase 1 was that everyone went home. Phase 2 was the imposition of social distancing measures at work. One way corridors, screens around desks removal of all fridges and microwaves to prevent communal gathering etc. Phase 2 is that 25-30% of workers will return to work as many as social distancing will allow.

The fear and propaganda pandemic is merely a distraction from that. As to Bill Gates and Big Pharma etal, being the vultures that they are, they are cashing in on all the bribes they made over the years to their sleazy political operatives.

Whilst, I skim listened to this interview, I find it almost completely irrelevent to the real issues facing us all. So far as I am concerned, I came to the conclusion, based on the numerical evidence, that COVID was no more dangerous, than any other cold/like flu, long before the lockdown, when I myself was largely in self isolation, cos I probably had it. In my case, mild flu like symptoms, but nothing like as bad as the worst flu, I have had about 3 times in my life. So I rapidly came to the conclusion, that COVID, was just a smokescreen and a distraction, from something far more serious, that was going on. Whilst everyone I knew was terrified, about the virus, and I tried to joke with them, which did not go down at all well, I myself, was in reality, even more terrified than them, for reasons… Read more »

Personally I think that it does exist, but it doesn’t matter anyway, because as I say, the virus is not the real issue here. As you say, while it is not the flu, it’s symptoms are similar to those of the flu in most respects. From what I can make out it is rather like a mild version of the flu for most people.

With one exception, I agree with the above John. The politicians were and are stupid, yes, but worse, I think they lost their nerve. Partly thanks to Neil Ferguson of course. They should have kept their nerve and asked around other experts. What is surprising is that the governing party became notorious for not trusting “experts” on things like Brexit, which makes it all the more surprising that they fell for that expert, especially as he had a bad track record. But even if they only half-believed Ferguson, surely common sense (and experience) should have told them that his more extreme predictions were likely to be highly exaggerated? But what they should have known (and surely did know?), is that a long lockdown would surely crash the economy, possibly irrevocably.

No, instead they quite rightly worry about – “us” – the citizens of the nations they rule through unaccountable power, corruption, greed and through the monetary and propaganda fueled manipulation of our so called “democracies.” We are the only ones that can challenge or contain their rule so we are ipso facto – “the enemy.” It’s not ‘rocket science’ as they say. Sadly many fail to see, or to comprehend, this rather basic relational fact – and will quite gladly line… Read more »

Im afraid I did not much appreciate Gupta’s interview. The very first point is that science is not about truth. This was mistakenly thought to be the case in modern times until quantum theory, when this came to be recognized. Physicist Max Born, and since then, plenty have clearly stated this. Science is based on plenty of assumptions, then we are ourselves limited, both our senses and mind, and hence, as was well explained by Heisenberg, “man’s argument … cannot simply speak of nature ‘in itself’. Science always presupposes the existence of man and … we must become conscious that we are not merely observers but also actors on the stage of life.” Our theories, even those seemingly most satisfying, are ridden with weaknesses. Unpredictability and uncertainty are an integral part of a scientific approach. There is nothing we can do to get rid of that. We can try improving… Read more »

Biologists pretend to study Life, but what they are really studying are forms of life.
Life itself (with a capital L), cannot be studied, measured or quantified.
It can only be experienced.

Thank you hope. I think true scientists do not pretend to know what reality is; they realise that theories are based on assumptions and interpretations and hence their pretentions cannot go much further beyond being just useful. And they are: No one could ignore the extent to which this very imperfect and modest science when applied to the inert world has benefitted human existence on earth. When applied to the living and specially to human life, I think scientists ought to be very careful in applying theories based on the same views, because they shouldn’t afford approximations when life and death are the stakes. Common sense (which may be a vestige of our ability to grasp wholly what reality is) must be the guiding light that makes the final decision. The scientists who use common sense in their work are the humble ones: they are always ready to learn and… Read more »

Game Theory teaches that when you wish to make a *powerful* move, you are forced to reveal critical information about your hand to your opponent. In other words, one can perceive crucial data from the ‘best’ propaganda outlets. Like a lot of you here, RT has been my daily go-to for ‘news’ (alongside the Daily Mail, which is the new dumping ground for UK governmental ‘truth’- which proves just how much reach that online outlet has over dying mouthpieces like the BBC). RT, PressTV etc, the pseudo foreign news services, were actually all begun in the UK as a MI6/BBC World Service project, and have never been more that a ‘different’ form of deep state media, but until recently their coverage was ‘interesting’. But for the period of the SARS2 false-flag, RT has been in-you-face appalling- revealing of course just how much Team Putin is part of the game. But… Read more »

She believes in the existence of viruses as external agents that cause disease and are transmissible from one human to another. That is reason enough to dismiss her as a genuine scientist since the evidence is overwhelming that germ theory is not just wrong.

Everything in the mainstream fear and control narrative hinges on the virus theory being asserted and reinforced as fact – by every means – and in the same way climate was woven into everything – excepting germ theory goes back a lot further and most were born into it as their normal. I don’t thing becoming a ‘flat earthlike’ germ denier helps. Nor being right by pointing out wrongs. The invested identity in the protection (racket) is Too Big To Fail – in the general population – let alone Trillion dollar medical industrial complex. It really is a godless sense of being locked down into a weak or inadequate body that has to be protected from retribution masked as random genes or malign viruses or Chinese markets or anything anywhere ELSE. There is a weak and inadequate mind that is disconnected from the heart of wholeness in connected purpose as… Read more »

I disagree with what you say about the origin of the foreign English language news services having helped to set up two of them. I do think your comments about scientists are spot on, especially when you demolish the tendency to trust scientists just because they’re scientists. They ARE no different to the rest of the population, meaning that ….

“Most so-called scientists are utterly crap at every aspect of their job- as with most fields. You can automatically discard the opinions of 90% of them, especially those with ‘woke’ credentials. The remaining 10% are better, but the true alphas will be a tiny fraction of this group, and experience of psychology has proven the very best are usually obssessed people with a very narrow focus, and poor awareness outside this cone. “

I just wanted to add something while I remeber it, the reason for 5G is that, if and when we are to be chipped, it maybe an pasive “screener”, etc, but to read that in real time they need an over lapping frequency admitter and the 4G was/is not that good and then we get the much better, of course from their side, screening with the 5G since it operates on much higher level and penetrate more than 4G and can thereby read the pasive chipp they have and will induce into our blood stream or just place it under out skin much easier. And dont forget this, China is and do have an high rate of vaccinated people, up to ranges of 95% of the population, like other regions like Italy and most of the problems with elderly I am certain comes from the previous vaccines regimes they had… Read more »

More news from the nodemic: This is from the comments section of Japan Today. Three of the Tokyo prefectures are still under lockdown. Today 01:53 pm JST 23/05/2020 But despite the low testing and obviously inaccurate numbers of cases one thing stands out that has not been reported as widely as the lack of testing. That is that the number or deaths (from all causes) during the first 4 months of this year have not gone up despite all predictions from all the so-called expert especially those from the west. How on earth can you come to that conclusion…. your own post you say, correctly, that little testing has been DONE. So there is no way to know if deaths are happening to the virus or not! The only way we can get an idea is to compare deaths in 2020 to those prior to 2020, even then if there… Read more »

I’ve already had a holiday cancelled and no doubt many other have had too – yet, according to the guardian Boris is off on another break: “Why should the prime minister explain anything to anyone during the worst health crisis in 100 years? It was a nice afternoon, he was about to go on a 10-day Whitsun break with Carrie, Dilyn the dog and some baby that had mysteriously appeared in Downing Street, and he could do without the hassle. And it had been a whole two months since he’d taken 10 days off right at the beginning of the pandemic. In any case, he’d already had coronavirus, so he was just fine.” It is very clear that the present government have very different rules to the rest of the population – the scam continues and the british people are mostly still asleep – which is probably why the lockup… Read more »

Now what we need is contact tracing to find Patient Zero of the psychopathogen that infected all the world’s leaders. Sieges to starve a territory into submission were a military tactic until Feb 2020, when sieges suddenly became a public health technique. Where did it come from? How did nearly all leaders get infected INSTANTLY? Blackmail? Bribes? Threats of assassination? Or have they all been working in synchrony for many decades?

It would seem that most people would sooner be beaten, robbed, chained to a stake and have their eyes poked out than to have to take the time to actually think about something – let alone to question the motives of the authority figures they ascribe so much worldly wisdom to. The actions of the “herd” give the lie to the notion of herd immunity – at least so far as ruling class schemes are concerned. They might develop an immunity to a virus; but never to a plan to enslave them.

Mind capture operates such that we think we are thinking – but we are not. We think we are conscious but we are not. Habits run a mind set in its own pattern of acquired adaptation and the forces that set it up, maintain it as an auto-defence. A mask cannot become who we are, but we can so invest in a masking persona as to become blind to anything BUT what its filters tell us or rather comply us by reaction to think we made a choice when it was a default that effectively made us. This is testable. Look at yourself. Not judge yourself. But watch the thoughts the emotions the reactions and watch how they are mostly available in the moment you recognise you were lost in identifying in them, and even this is then judged as a way to resume ‘normal service’.
