I’m sitting listening to “It’ll be freezing this Christmas” by “Sir Starmer and the Granny harmers” who give us “foreign wars and open doors” whilst OAPs freeze at home.

Then I read this. Reading the comments in the data results table I felt I had to do my bit to let others know about them. Why? When I know nothing except that there was blatant fraud with the covid “jab”.  After which there can be no doubt that similar fraud affects all vaccines and pharmaceuticals. “Vaccines” are particularly suspect as those making money cannot be sued and the result is they don’t care about the safety … it’s just profit & no risk. AND I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A Global-lying type marketing campaign attacking anyone who dares to publicise (potential?) harms.

It is now time that most vaccines should be suspended till a proper scientific enquiry (and I mean science … not a bunch of people in the pocket of Big Pharma) has validated any/some.

The only exception would be some very specific vaccines like Hepatitis B … and even those have to be validated as a priority and MASSIVE health warnings given to any considering them.

Within 24 hours of 2 year old vaccines our child developed 105 temp and went blank on us unresponsive to his name and out of it. Over the course of 10 days he lost all language, developed autistic traits like stimming, started having major tantrums, and stopped sleeping more than 4 hours a night.

It was the MMR vaccine that caused my son’s autism. He was vaccinated ‘on time’ according to the schedule in 1997. He is 28 now and nobody will admit the truth about him. My younger son had the separate vaccines as a young child. He has dyslexia. When he had the MMR booster at age 11 he collapsed in the doctor’s waiting room and was taken to hospital by ambulance. Neither of them has ever had any further MMR vaccines, and the elder one has had NO further vaccines of any kind since that day in 1997, a day i will regret for the rest of my life.
I am second generation “Aspie.” Even my doctor couldn’t see it with my masking at age 50+. I didn’t know until my doctor diagnosed my Dad twenty years ago at which point I suspected and tested myself. It was 45 years ago when my son, who I suspect to be ASD (and ADHD) as well, suddenly couldn’t speak well. I couldn’t make the connection at that time, and can only suspect it now, without estimating, for he had had a vaccine prior to onset. However, Dad was born in 1919.
Final vax was a flu shot 365 days after onset, before we realised what was happening.

Despite the links between aluminum adjuvants and autism, my daughters autism diagnosis cannot be associated with vaccines as she was not vaccinated at all.
My son threw up the oral polio at the office after, and they dosed him again, just to be sure. Look at the rise of autism in the UK ten years after introduction graphed next to the the same schedule and manufacturer (Merck) in the US ten years earlier. They lay over each other perfectly. 😡. I have before and after vaccine video, and photos of laxity in his facial muscles, and his wrists curled up immediately after. Called the peds office. Said it was normal so they never reported to VAERS. Turns out it caused Aphasia. Probably lots of misdiagnosis of autism for aphasia because of lack of speech. Still, a brain injury from the vaccines.
Second child has also been affected but came on differently. First child a boy, second child a girl. The boy was very sensitive to sounds (singing), speech development stopped, child because very sensitive to change in environment. The child missed a set of vaccinations so the doctor doubled up and daughter feels the aluminum in the vaccines may be to blame. The double up on vaccines happened at about 10 months old.
“My son was very high functioning before his MMR vaccine in Tennessee on February 17th 1993 and was ahead in all his milestones. At 6 months of age he got his first vaccine (DPT) which caused a very high fever and high pitched screaming for 2 days and it took him six weeks to recover from this so he never got another DPT vaccine again. Three days after his one and only MMR vaccine at 17 months of age he broke out in a mild fever and measles rash but was still happy as he was breastfed and had immunity passed on from me. Ten days after the MMR vaccine encephalitis set in and he started screaming and banging his head on the wall and floor. From that day on he no longer played appropriately with his toys, started running around in circles on his tip toes and lost the 25 words he had in his vocabulary. By the age of 2 he was totally non verbal and in his own world. He also was very hyperactive and was very difficult to settle to sleep.
He is 33 years old now and is totally dependent on support from us (his ageing parents) and one support worker. He has very little functional speech which we have tried to teach him over the years but he cannot tell us how he feels or if he is in pain. He cannot dress himself properly in spite of years of therapies. We have to shower, shave, brush his teeth, wipe his bottom and cut up his food. He has meltdowns and can’t communicate the cause and he will run out of the house and on to the road or jump in a pool. He does not sleep peacefully getting up a lot through the night. He developed stomach issues and struggles with recurrent parasite infections and experienced Helicobacter Pylori infections twice 15 years ago. In 1993, seven months prior to his autism diagnosis at 2 years and 7 months of age in Australia (where we now live), medical specialists we took him to at the Children’s Hospital gave him every test possible to find out why he developmentally regressed. They could not find a reason such as such as genetic, viral, metabolic, brain structure or bacterial. We told the doctors then that his regression started after the MMR vaccine back in 1993 before it was known that this vaccine can cause autism. We can only put our son’s regression down to the MMR vaccine which caused the encephalitis of the brain and did permanent damage at 17 months of age. He has not had any vaccines since then. He functions as a 2 year old today and has no abstract thought or theory of mind. He is our only child and we love him dearly and will look after him until the day we die. ”

Son was developing normally until soon after getting his MMR vaccinations, then his development stopped and even regressed in some ways.
My child has also had chronic progressive health problems
My daughter went from at 3 mos old (very few vaccines) performing at the 9 months level on the ASD awareness chart on the wall of the examination room to performing less than the 3 months mark on the same chart at 8.5 months old after the aforementioned vaccines were previously administered. These vaccines contained thimerasol. Even though this was all recorded in her medical chart at the time, not a single healthcare professional said anything about it to me. It was several years later and at a different medical office that we discussed ASD regarding this child. I have 3 children and only the youngest has never been vaccinated. Both of my older 2 kids have what I believe to be vaccine damage. The youngest has no neurological anomalies and enjoys a more robust immune system as well as accelerated development that has never lagged or reverted. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for his older sisters. My children are now in their later teens to early adulthood.
My son was perfectly healthy and happy. After he was vaccinated. Just over a year old his behaviour changed dramatically. When he was about 7 he was diagnosed ASD. I do believe it was vaccination.
Asd signs after dpt but paediatrician denied dx. Had to seek private psychiatrist for dx – recieved at 17 months old
My son had the MMR and almost immediately had some travel vaccinations. His behaviour changed almost over night. This was 27 years ago so hard to remember what he had and when but he went from an easy baby who slept well to a child who was constantly on the go, wouldn’t sleep and energy levels through the roof.
These were the 15 month vaccines, 25 years ago. After the 2,4,6, and 12 month vaccines. This was the mercury decade – the kids born in the 1990s. He is fully recovered – through diet, detox, gut healing, etc. I think the mercury decade was easier to clean up than the mess that happened with the addition of even more vaccines that started after the 90s.

Older brother exhibited similar but milder developmental symptoms leading to an Asperger’s diagnosis with severe anxiety and depression leading to his ultimate suicide.
This son was highly intelligent (gifted), scholarly and academically accomplished yet deteriorated into severe depression and generalized and social anxiety leading to his ultimate suicide. Younger brother also impacted severely developmentally.
The doctor lied to my face telling me it’s more than safe and that there were no serious side effects and I am actually increasing the likelihood my son will live a more robust life and be healthier without a doubt. The lady pediatrician next to USC Arcadia hospital should be sued and held accountable for lying to me repeatedly and finally pulled the “he won’t be able to be enrolled in public grade school if you don’t do this for him now” card. Never trust a doctor 99.8% of the time. We (the patients) are literally the target audience that allows them to amass fortunes and scholastic elitist snobbism to the max at our own or our children’s health and longevity/lifespan. It takes a very wicked mind to come up with and put into place the laws that stipulated referral bonuses per each vaccine administered to a minor within a specific age group. I wish I knew then what I’ve come to know now, then maybe my son would’ve been more capable and less dysfunctional.
My son was saying a few words at 10 months of age. Day of MMR vaccine at 12 months old he got very high temperature. His soft spot on his head was bulging. He stopped saying his words and started screaming when I took him to noisy shopping places etc. I realised after his hearing had become oversensitive, another autism trait. He did learn to speak but as an adult suffers from a lot of anxiety, panic attacks and now can’t function without being on antidepressants.
“The tried to
Diagnose my daughter with regressive autism at 14 after a TDAP vaccination!!! It was neuroinflammation!! She’s still
Disabled by this vaccine! ”
This was a long time ago – 2008, my son is 18 now. He was born neurological, normal birth and gestation time. He looked at me one day, soulfully like “what’s happening to me” and I panicked because I knew something had changed but no one believed me until late fall 2008, he was diagnosed December 2008 at 2-1/2 years. He had ear tube surgery that summer. He started talking after a year but then it stopped. He is severely autistic, despite so much intervention. No one believes it was from the from vaccines. In Canada they give a few grouped vaccines: Pertussis and Pentacel. I believe it was the result of too much antibiotics due to ear infections (ear tube surgery was delayed too long) that made the gut leaky combined with too many vaccines too early. 😞 What are they doing to out children 💔
Sorry. Hard to remember. My guys are 29 and 27

My sons now an adult, I noticed a change in him around age 5, he is now considered autistic, on the Aspergers spectrum.
5-7 days after the mmr my son basically changed overnight. He was a functioning normal child & basically ceased talking & became irritable straight away.
My child was thriving until she received the MMR vaccines at the age of 12 months old. She shut down after that and was non verbal until 4 years of age. We live in the UK so I am not sure if childhood vaccine schedules are different to US. Thanks for doing great work on exposing the harms of childhood vaccines and the Covid vaccines – I am a huge fan.
“My child started exhibiting symptoms at 6 months. She started “”humming”” which continued on for many years until public ridicule caused her to stop.

I suspect this coincided with her 6 month vaccines. I put 5 in the number of days because I am really not sure & she was definitely vaccinated at 6 months. She had all of her prior vaccinations up until that point as well.”
Before 12 month shots, my child was speaking the normal words, dog, cat, mama, daddy, bye-bye. Almost immediately stopped talking. He was 4 before he could say anything that we could understand.
Noticed symptoms appeared almost overnight right at 1year old ! After first round of rotovirus vaccine 2months her stools went from healthy to overly large a constantly had to get suppositories that lasted up to 1year old had 2rounds of rotovirus! Not sure if that’s what caused constipation but definitely happened overnight after 2month shots! Went un talkative an personality change over night! Confusing now she’s 26 months still struggling to get a word out! At 9 months she was saying 8 words ! Lost
One year shots. So quite a few. The symptoms kept coming even after the first obvious ones showed up, like losing words, then banging head on wall, years later a seizure. Finding someone to believe and help was very hard.
He was fine. He slept 14 hours and changed. Stopped looking at me, started pulling my arm and was irritable. I was told it was terrible twos early. He got the DPT after hit 107 fever and never heard him say momma again.
One of my twin girls has ASD. They both were given all their childhood vaccines. It was around 7 months when my daughter woke up screaming and her back was rigid, bent backwards. Her body was rigid ever since. I noticed her staring off at nothing but never realized she could be autistic until she was about 3. She had major sensory issues and didn’t speak until she was about 5. Once I started learning about vaccines that is when it felt like someone punched me in the gut. I knew she was vaccine injured.

3 days after MMR, a light switch went off. He wasn’t behind his eyes anymore. He used to eat all kinds of food and then became very picky. No doubt this was a brain injury caused by vaccine.

My two daughters both developed autism gradually. One visibly regressed after her second MMR shot.
child was perfectly normal- ahead of the milestones. talking in 3-4 word phrases and then irritable, routine was a must, spoke only using one word nouns then became echolalic , terrible sleeping , couldn’t leave my side- not even my husband could stay with him, lining cars up .. i believe it started at the 18 month vaccinations and then progressively got worse . By 24 months e didn’t understand what was happening and certainly by 36 months we knew we had a serious problem. We sought all different kinds of treatment from alternative doctors as well as specialists. One was a neurologist doing research on kids with sudden onset autism. He felt our son now had encephalitis and absent seizures. Another doctor felt it was viral. Our son is 31 yrs old today – it was not the traditional medical community that helped us. He is very functional, has a landscaping business, friends, loves animals, sports, drives… everything they told me he would NOT do. I KNOW it was the vaccinations and I believe it was the MMR. Our family videos show the decline, our Nanny saw the decline as well as members of our family and friends. Our family is extremely skeptical of all vaccines….
My daughter is 47 years old and lives with us and we are her caregivers., She spiked a high fever the night after her vax at 171/2 months. Before she was saying words and starting to combine words for short sentences. Her speech ceased within a week of the vax and eye contact ceased as well. I am allergic to iodine and suspect she is as well. She had to relearn walking, climbing stairs, etc. She was right handed but lost the use of her right hand and is now left handed, with right hand useless. THEY KNEW what they were doing and did not publish all the ingredients in the vax. Then they lied for years and covered up their treachery. They destroyed our daughter’s life. They need to be punished for what they have done.
I am the grandparent, not the parent. I only know my grandson went from a healthy one-year-old to withdrawal and non-communication after he received the MMR vaccine at 18 months. Before that we would play together and laugh together, but he stopped looking at us and playing with us. He received a total of 27 vaccines by the age of 3 1/2 when he was diagnosed with autism.
Homeopathy can reverse vaccine damage. It can reverse autism. There’s hope. There are vaccine clears. Congress was going after homeopathy . It’s cheap & effective. It can even reverse genetic damage from COVID vaccines.
Metals, formaldehyde, poly-anything- number and other species’ dna are not good for anyone who wants to live.
5 days after the MMR vaccine my son launched into autism. He had 15 words at 2 and went to nothing. Hitting his head on the floor etc
Autistic tendencies slowly subsided until MMR booster was administered at age 5, when autistic signs immediately intensified, and gradually decreased again over a period of years.
If I had known and the pediatrician had been honesf about the possible cause of his symptoms, we would have stopped.vaccinations right then. However, it took us another eight months to figure it out ( he was a year old), and he hasn’t had another vaccine since. Nor will he ever have another. Fortunately, he’s homeschooled, so we don’t have to deal with government school mandates. We’ve also been educating our children about the dangers of vaccines, so that hopefully when they’re adults, they will avoid them and also not vaccinate our future grandchildren.
My son was developing normally. At 18 months he got his MMR shot. The decline was almost immediate.

My son met his milestones until he got a series of vaccines that I believe led to his autism. he regressed serverely, was non-verbal for many years.
The vaccines listed “before onset” were given in January and March, age 2 months and 4 months. After the 2-month shots, child had pronounced reaction – howling, fever, constipation, gas, spitting up. After 4-months shots, child went silent…for many months, while GI distress continued. We got hearing test, EEG, both perfect. Neurologist said child was unusually quiet but “still in normal range”. GI distress continued – gas, spitting up, constipation. I took child to a specialist in autism – not because I truly believed the silence was due to autism, because child’s eye contact and engagement were very high, just no vocalizing. I went to the autism specialist because all autistic kids have GI trouble, so maybe he had some ideas. This specialist immediately said that the GI distress was likely “casein sensitivity”, recommended Nestle’s Good Start (99% casein free). He recommended to PAUSE vaccines, and space them out as much as possible. We went right to the store and bought the Good Start formula, and child was immediately improved. The lack of vocalizing continued. Specialist recommended day care at 15 months for more socialization with peers. I continued to track the size of child’s vocabulary until entering school, and it was always at the low end. But by age 10 she was then very much at the high end. The other concerning event came when the child’s father filed for divorce when child was age 4. He had been EVERN MORE freaked out by child’s reaction to the 2 & 4-months shots, and had been totally in favor of pausing vaccines and going as slow as possible on future shots. His divorce lawyer evidently recommended that he go get the child caught up on shots to try to paint me as a negligent parent and HE the responsible parent. Without telling me, he took the child twice to get shot full of vaccines, two months apart. She came home with WELTS. Beginning at age 15, child was borderline disabled with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS, IBS, Fibromyalgia, persitent nausea and vomiting. A Midwestern Doctor (on Substack) has pointed to vaccines having these outcomes.
It was severe depression in my 3 yo with no other known etiologies.
“My son, now 15, is diagnosed with ASD. When he was about a year and a half old, my wife had him vaccinated against tetanus. Before that day, he was aware of his surroundings, made eye contact, and both gave and responded to verbal cues. But the next morning, I found him awake in his crib, eyes open, yet completely unresponsive to verbal communication. It was a 180° shift from the way he had been before the vaccine.

From that point, it’s been an uphill struggle. Several daycares dismissed him due to behavior issues, and we eventually had to hire a nanny to care for him at home. Over the years, he slowly began displaying more neurotypical behaviors. By the time he was 12, his ASD symptoms had lessened significantly. He occasionally toe-walked and sometimes struggled with eye contact, but he was able to communicate effectively at both home and school.

Then, after an accident in the backyard involving a rusty nail, my wife had him receive a tetanus booster in 2021. Following the shot, he experienced a major regression. He lost eye contact, became increasingly withdrawn into his own world, began toe-walking constantly, and his behavior issues at school resurfaced.”

I saw a difference in my daughter the night she got vaccinated, her eyes glazed over and she just stopped thriving and would hum a lot and she had 7 or 8 shots combined

Within hours she become agitated, and ran a slight fever that lasted 1 year. My daughter also has Down syndrome so was in Early intervention since babyhood. She did not have autism until the MMR vaccine. She’s now 16.

“Had several shots containing multiple vaccines abt 10 days after 1st birthday. Was never the same. Immediately stopped babbling, went silent for abt a year. Lost eye contact within a few days. Suddenly had sensory issues he never had before. These included screaming (like terror)/incessant crying/hard to comfort, meltdowns, being upset by sounds, lights, and all light touch. Normal bowel movements stopped within a day or two at most. He became constipated for the next 10 years, including 1 fecal impaction that required hospitalization despite Miralax and other laxatives and the appropriate diet w lots of veggies, fruit, and fiber. He was very vocal and cooed a lot prior to those shots, Within a day or two, he went silent, as ub completely silent for over a year. Speech came in VERT slowly and it was difficult. We had to hire three diff speech therapy with different techniques. The specialist doctor thought he might never talk. Of course we got him well using holistic medicine for years and now he talks just fine. later developed poor balance, sensory seeking (proprioceptive).
My personal opinion and our experience says it is not necessarily the vaccine per se. I feel the main problem is specifically the adjuvants that are heavy metals, including mercury and aluminumm and who knows what else. He started on a major detox (sauna) at age 4, and the more metal we got out, the better he got. This was all confirmed by before and after urine toxic metal testing–initially there were very high levels of mercury and other metals and then as they went down, his symptoms improved, If you need to contact me, plz use the email I provided. “

I was just rereading my own article “Is don’t quit the best survival strategy” when I realised that I had absolutely no evidential base for making any assertions, except perhaps the observations of programs like Naked and Afraid, which are heavily narrated for a “story line” that is often patently false.

Then, I realised that we do have an evidential base: the survival of the human species and what is encoded into our DNA and expressed through out behaviour is clearly the result of millions of years of successful survival.

That means, that whether or not you like it, whatever you are, whatever your mental attitude, is likely to be the result of your DNA and that has proven to be the best survival strategy. So, if you are lazy, or if you are heroic, or if you are altruistic or if you are a Fauci, your DNA expresses what evolution has found by numerous trials and errors, to be the best survival strategies, at least in the natural world, and during many thousands of years of human technological-human living.

OK, evolution hasn’t had much time to work out the best strategy to cope with a nuclear bomb, because, except for a few in japan, there has been no opportunity for evolution to pick the best survival strategy. And, in any case, evolution picks the best strategy “most of the time”, which can also mean that some times, the strategy that works “most of the time” is the worst in that situation.  But that is why we have a brain!

However, I realise there is a big issue here. Evolution picks the best survival strategy for our genes. That doesn’t necessarily mean the longest life. So, (for men) that may mean, valiantly spreading our genes to as many gullible hero-worshipping women as possible, with a high risk that sooner or very soon we will die very early. So, the genes survive … but the hero worshipped man, gets eaten by a croc … but at least the numerous kids had a “great dad”. Of course I exaggerate a tiny bit, but the principle is still true. The best survival strategy for our genes, may be for us to take risks that are more than likely going to lead to an earlier death. So “being yourself” may spread more genes, but lead to an earlier death.

Another problem is that genetic survival mostly stems from a time when humans were much more active. So, “being lazy” … when someone had to be active 10 hours a day on minimal food, was good. But “being lazy” when food and labour saving devises are in abundance with the result you are so massively overweight you couldn’t make it 100m to safety because you are so unfit, is not.

Another huge problem, that evolution cannot provide an answer for, is new technology or new situations, or indeed rare situations that need a different survival strategy than normal. For these, we cannot rely on our “inbuilt DNA survival strategies” because in these situations evolution has not had the numerous trials it needs to pick the best strategy so there is no reason to believe evolution is going to help us. Instead, we need that new fangled device called a brain giving us skills, knowledge and communication … and above all else, the ability to adapt our survival strategy outwith what is encoded into our DNA.

Addendum

I realised after finishing the above, that whilst it is true that evolution provides the average person the best survival strategy for a fit, healthy individual facing the wild (with a lifetime’s knowledge of surviving in a similar environment), the average person usually has the “sense” to avoid doing things that would then later lead to them being in a survival situation.

So, if a plane full of (fit) holiday makers dropped them all onto a deserted island, on average, “being themselves” was the best survival strategy (in the past when everyone had more knowledge of the natural world).

But, if the SAS in their mission to assassinate Lenin in Moscow** were shot down … would the best advice to them be “be yourselves”? The average person would have been on the holiday flight, not on the flight to start WWIII. Indeed, I would hazard a guess that the average person in the SAS would hate being on the holiday flight and instead welcome the chance to start WWIII and “survive” in a rat and lice infested trench … so, I would argue that “being yourself” may not be the best way for the SAS to survive long term.

… I wonder if anyone has any data for “average age of death” for those who joined the SAS versus a similar “normal” group?

**It would be based on the very best UK “Intelligence” … which is only slightly behind the times.

I’ve been following a few mRNA “vaccine” sceptics, because they are rightly sceptics of a “treatment” that killed more than it saved, and that fact was hidden from the public for money. I also contribute to climate sceptics, who likewise know the criminal behaviour of those in climate.

However, I do expect climate sceptics to be climate sceptics and “vaccine” sceptics to be “vaccine” sceptics. But recently, I’ve noticed a growing trend that “vaccine” sceptics are increasingly vocal about their climate scepticism, and climate sceptics are increasingly vocal about their “vaccine” scepticism.

Indeed, there are forums, where they are supposedly neither “vaccine” nor climate sceptics … but they too are increasingly vocal about their “vaccine” and climate scepticism. Scepticism seems to be becoming very popular!

At the height of the covid evil, there were idiots calling for anyone questioning the safety of the jab to be put into concentration camps, not for killing people like Fauci, but just for questioning the safety of the improperly tested “vaccine” … just as there were idiots calling for similar concentration camps for anyone sceptical of the adjusted temperature data and the false conclusions drawn.

I wonder what those same people are going to be demanding, when they finally realise that they were conned into taking a jab that increased their chances of dying?

It is hardly surprising that Fauci is so scared of the people he treated like dirt, that he demanded the demented Bidem give him a pardon for all the crimes he has committed, despite, not having been accused on any crimes during the time of the criminal Bidem regime. He knows what is coming …. and he is scared. Quite right!

And having set the precedent of sending those responsible for the jab to the electric chair … because I really see no alternative … they are then coming for those behind the climate scam.

I wonder what punishment they will get?

Maybe they’ll be lucky and get “renewable” electricity which only works intermittently? Two days waiting for the wind to blow and then slowly cooked?

I have been looking at how to survive a nuclear war and I’m not at the stage of attempting to validate my approach by looking around to see what others have done. And, I’m frankly aghast.

I just could not find anyone in the UK who is taking the subject seriously. Indeed, I have sent many emails, and people just do not respond … total head in the sand approach.

The reason is clear from a discussion on Mumsnet. Everyone that piled on at the beginning (co-ordinated coincidence?) stated that a nuclear war of any kind simply wasn’t survivable and everyone should just kill themselves immediately. That might be news to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors.

Likewise on various so called “prepper” forums, there was a complete lack of discussion. They will discuss ad nauseum the “horrific” effect of “climate change” equivalent to walking up a small hill and the disastrous impact of sea level rise of 1mm/year which will flood somewhere 10m above sea level in 10,000 years times (well after the next ice-age starts). They will praise this or that new bit of equipment, clearly showing that “prepping” is really a big business and many prepper sites are paid to push people toward the many expensive gadgets on sale.

However no discussion of a nuclear war, that could start tomorrow and could seriously impact everyone’s life in a very dramatic way.

So, the first step to surviving a nuclear war, is this – ignore the idiots and doomsayers who pretend to be preppers, but aren’t:

Accept it could happen, and that you are more than likely to survive, and that you could do a lot now to improve your chances of surviving then.

Indeed, the overwhelming feeling that most people will have just after a nuclear exchange is this: “I thought we were supposed to die?” quickly followed by: “if I knew I was going to survive I would have spent a little bit more time learning what to do now and making life easier for me now”.

20 years after the event, most people will regret their behaviour before the event.

Many survival experts tell us the key to survival is “don’t quit”. Yet what does that really mean? And is it really good advice?

What does “don’t quit” mean? Does it mean doggedly continuing on the path you are taking despite it going over a cliff? Obviously not! Does it mean repeatedly attempting the same action despite it failing each and every time? Or, does it mean sitting still and doing nothing and waiting to be rescued?

The last is a very viable strategy, particularly if in a vehicle stranded in an Australian desert and you left someone details of your route. “Don’t give up” means don’t give up on your plans. Your plan was to finish your journey so “quitting” is giving up on your plan to keep going. So “Don’t quit” must mean finishing your journey by getting out. Thus staying with your vehicle is “quitting”. That means quitting is not just the recommended advice, but the best advice.

So, does that mean the right advice is “Do quit”?

But, if you are a few days walk from help in a place where no one goes, and no one even knows you left your home, let alone where you went, there is no chance of anyone looking for you. It would be daft if you could easily walk to safety for you to just sit and wait in a place that no one goes for the miracle of someone coming to your isolated spot and finding you! You should quit waiting – quit quitting – and continue your original plan and make your way to safety.  Clearly if no one is going to find you where you are, you have to make your own way out or at least get somewhere where someone will see you.

A more apt piece of advice would be as follows:

Assess your situation, then make a plan. The two best options tend to be to either stay put and wait for help or to make your own way out. Once you decide which, stick to your plan and make it happen, but don’t be afraid to change if circumstances change. If you expect help within a few days, and none appears after a week, then perhaps something went wrong and no help is coming and then you must attempt to make your own way out. If, however you attempt to make your own way out, and that turns out to be impossible, then making your way back and staying put may still be your best option.

But now, I am saying “be adaptable”, which is tantamount to “be ready to quit your plan”.

So why are we told by so many people that “to survive you mustn’t quit”? The reason it seems to me, is that when people look for heroic stories of survival, they don’t want to hear the story of a person who broke down in the desert and then sat by their car until someone came to rescue them. Instead, they want to hear a story of a person that struggled against all odds to complete some form of miraculous escape. That is the story people want to tell and want to hear, and that is the story of someone “not quitting”.

So, the reality is the people who “don’t quit” aren’t better survivors, they are just better stories of “heroic” survival.

Thus the truth is this: if you want to survive, be prepared to be flexible and prepared to quit what you are doing. If however, you want to be the hero of someone’s story (possibly after you die trying to escape a situation you would have survived if you’d just sat down and waited for help) then doggedly pursue the path you have chosen wherever it leads and don’t quit.

Addendum

Of course, I fell into my own trap. The best survival strategy, is not the person who stayed with their vehicle and was rescued a couple of days later  or the one that “heroically” waded across crocodile infested swamps for a month losing both arms and legs to crawl out … barely alive … but the guy who prepared for their journey, and when the vehicle got stuck in soft sand, knew to simply let down the tyre pressure and drove out and had nothing much to tell the guys at the pub that night.

The best survival strategy, is preparation so that you never have to quit … and you have no story worth telling.

I have been trying to go through a list of symptoms of infections that are likely in large 3rd degree burns, something that would be very common amongst many people after a nuclear exchange.

What the ££££  is:

“Erythematous necrotic lesions (ecthyma gangrenosum) in unburned skin”?

I can see why so many people just stick their head in the sand and sing “laa laa laa laa laa” whenever someone tries to seriously discuss how to prepare for a nuclear exchange. It is completely overwhelming.

And, I can see why doctors are sociopaths with no empathy … because how could you carry out surgery on a patient if you had any empathy with the blob of flesh you are cutting into?

I am beginning to realise, the reality, is that knowing what is killing someone, isn’t going to stop them dying. Even in the context of a hospital, a large burn with “Ecthyma gangrenosum” would be challenging, but, someone in a dirty hole somewhere with no medical training … not a chance.

The reality, is that having tried available disinfectants, you have to scrub the open wound with a very stiff brush to remove all dead flesh or cut the flesh off – and the patient will feel every bit of it. I don’t know if I could do that.

The truth is that so called “Prepping” isn’t about buying gadgets or even the scrubbing brush or knife to do the job … the real preparation is preparing yourself mentally for the challenge of scrubbing raw flesh of a child whilst they scream and all the other horrific things that survival entails after a nuclear war. I am not ready for it.

I read a preparation leaflet from some Scandinavian country. It sounded like a list of items to take to a church picnic. It was as different as chalk is from cheese from the reality of nuclear war. In no way was it preparing the people for the reality. In contrast, it was making surviving war sound like following Ikea assembly instructions.

Indeed, it made no mention at all of government. What Covid showed, is that it is government that will fall apart, followed by the medics who’ll shelter in their bunkers, probably joined by the army generals trying to find a safe space to discuss their gender equality as the missiles rain down. It’s that class of public servants producing these leaflets who will be least prepared of everyone. Especially mentally! Because they are the ones reliant on “government” to spoon feed them everything. Without government, they will be completely lost. They have been trained to be institutionally incapable of self-reliance – they simply won’t be able to function without someone sending them a memo or writing down detailed instructions.

I have been writing what now amounts to a book on “how to cope with a nuclear event”. Not “how to prepare”, but what to do if one happens. Because I start from the assumption that no preparation has been done (except reading the book).

As someone who has studied physics and survival, I felt competent to write on the physics of a nuclear war and survival. But, when it came to medical treatment I felt totally inadequate for the role. However, needs must … which is probably what the section on medical care should be titled.

The section on medical care is now 32 pages long and I have something, which I think is worth saying, on all the main medical categories. I’ve not yet worked out what that means in terms of items I would want to have in my own medical supplies, so it still needs work, but I am getting there.

To give a flavour this is the start of a random section from about half way through:

The primary aims of treatment for trauma are as follows:

1. To stop external bleeding using bandages and reduce internal bleeding with rest
2. To prevent and treat infection
3. To stabilise damaged limbs
4. etc.

Hopefully, it’s all common sense. Now having worked out what “should be done”, I have the task of working out what “can be done” by someone who has not prepared. This may be interesting. Not quite “the idiots guide to brain surgery”, but the reality of a nuclear conflict is that people with no experience of severe injuries will be left to deal with them. And, I am trying to work out what I can possibly say that will make life easier for them.

Let’s put it this way: you can’t do worse than the doctors who advocated the deadly covid jab. Well, statistically, that might be wrong but not morally, they were paid to know how to do it better and to treat people when ill and they ignored the data telling them they were wrong and most didn’t even bother to turn up to work when they said people were ill and needed them.

I don’t think I’ve come up with any magic solution. Because there is very little that can be done for many injuries specific to a nuclear event, so there is no point preparing to treat them. So, what are the priorities?

• Burns
• Infections
• General cleanliness to avoid illnesses found during disasters.
• Plenty of clean water
• Healthy food and shelter
• I assume a good medical box

I know a lot about the details of what is required to survive a nuclear war, which is a cross between “good luck”, “just the same basic common sense and preparation as any other natural disaster” and a few specifics for nuclear.

I’ve spent the day (like many before) trying to find other people who have a genuine knowledge of the problems of surviving a nuclear war and/or have useful skills and an interest and a pragmatic outlook … ideally within travel distance of me in Scotland. I have TOTALLY failed to find anyone that I would genuinely want to talk to.

There are some people with common sense. Yes! But they are the shops selling “prepper” equipment to “preppers”. They have the common sense to tap into and help create this “fear” market and at least some are making money by selling hot air “prepping” with little to no real real idea of what would be needed in a nuclear war. But at least they have enough common sense to turn it into a business!

Otherwise, zilch.

The problem is this: I am trying to prepare a sensible response plan (not a Zombie Apocalypse plan), that is ready to bring out if it is time to start preparing. I don’t want to add to the panic, there isn’t any point making money in a real nuclear disaster, so that is not high on my agenda. I certainly don’t want to direct people to spent pointless money on pointless gadgets, none of which they would actually use. I just want a sensible thought out plan and a response based on the best science (hopefully).

I am becoming increasingly frustrated.

So, I think the reason I’m writing this, is in the hope that I suddenly have an idea about who to contact, or what to search for to finally be able to track down other people like me. Because by now, I’m sick to death of seeing the same sites, especially some forums which I left because I thought it stupid to stay whilst being censored for saying that it is possible to survive a nuclear war. What is the point in a “prepper” site that censors posts for saying war can be survived?

You are either preparing to live … or you are preparing to die.

What is the point preparing to die? They clearly don’t genuinely believe in the idea of surviving so what are they preparing for? Nothing as far as I can tell. There is something seriously wrong with the so called “prepper” sites I’m found, they seem to deliberately dissuade people from the small practical steps that can make a difference.

Why can’t I find any serious person looking at how to improve chances of surviving a nuclear war?

Options:

• Start a forum … no point! The old altruistic internet has been shut down by US big Corpse.
• Run a course … no point unless I am in contact with people with a genuine interest
• Wait till people have a genuine interest … at which point, I will not have a genuine interest in helping others, because I will be too busy helping my own family.
• Try to contact people who ought to be interested …  but who? The big problem is that I’d be effectively becoming a “consultant”, but approaching the subject seriously, can’t be done without money. But there is no money for serious consideration of how to prepare. It’s a catch 22 … there is no money available … and there will be no money available. All we have is a load of crazy “Zombie apocalypse preppers” who seem to be spending their money on crossbows to kill the Zombies (I thought Zombies couldn’t die twice?)

Realism

No one is going to start doing serious preparation until AFTER they need to prepare. And, given the rapid developing phase  of a nuclear war, serious preparation is going to take longer than they will have when they realise they need to prepare.

The only realistic approach is the head in the sands attitude that most people have: let’s hope nothing happens.

Plan

I am just going to have to work on this on my own. At worst, I have something for those people I know … better … I am just waste my time. Maybe if we headed to nuclear war, it might get some use, but if government etc., have no interest now, they are going to have zero interest in the face of an actual nuclear war.

I thought today I would try to find any sensible group that has looked at preparing for a nuclear war … now that there is a realistic possibility of one.

The result of this search is that I found:

• Lots of articles about the cons of nuclear everything by Scottish this and that
• I found many articles about “cold war” “nuclear secrets” such as bunkers
• I found a fascist book group of “preppers” based in Scotland … who failed the first test of common sense preparation, which was that they using fascist book. Anyone who knows anything knows the last place anyone should look for useful information on contentious subjects is on manipulative censoring fascist book.
• And I found several links to articles on this website, which was  rather disconcerting.

That means, unless there is a sensible discussion on the “Scotland preppers” or whatever they are called on fascist book, I seem to be the only person in Scotland who has seriously looked at the subject.

Which begs the question: Should I, knowing as little as I do, offer myself as an “expert”?

But then reality hits me. What covid showed, is that in such a situation, government will consult the worst possible people (SAGE) and the result is that the response is the worst possible response. Why would I want to be part of the worst possible response?

Fortunately, the reality is that despite being the only person in Scotland I can find who has done serious research on the subject, I am highly unlikely to get consulted or influence government response.

So, whilst I might (reluctantly) offer myself to “help” … I am not expecting that offer to be taken up. Instead I will not be doing anything except my own and my family’s preparation. Which, to be fair, at this stage, is not a lot. It’s a plan to start doing something … at some future point in time … a bit like a New Year’s weight reduction resolution … except my plan will definitely start when certain conditions are met.

This is a difficult topic to talk about, because any specifics could influence the insane people who might trigger a nuclear war to kill more people. So, I will not talk about specifics.

But, one of the key things to know, is what will actually happen in terms of how many strikes and where.

One thing is clear, is that the “all out war” destroying everything is a total load of codswallop. I don’t whether it is deliberately false, or that the people who game planned it are sociopaths who expressed their own views of what they would like to do, but it makes no military sense.

So, I have been wondering what would actually happen. That affects timescales … as in from the point of the first knowledge that nuclear devices are going to be used, how long on average, do we have as individuals to respond? And, that depends on how the devices will be used, which depends on understanding the military strategy of those who are most likely to fire the devices on the UK.

…  and now I find I cannot say more.
