Did King Charles just die from cancer at the age of 75?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : King Charles III Just Died From Cancer!
Some people are claiming that King Charles III just died from cancer at the age of 75! Here are just some examples:
TRACKER DEEP : BREAKING: SOURCE REPORTS KING CHARLES HAS DIED AFTER SUCCUMBING TO PROSTRATE CANCER AT THE AGE OF 75
US Civil Defense News : 🚨🚨🚨Update: British King Charles III has died of cancer at age 75!! 🔥🔥🔥
US Civil Defense News : 🚨Update: The Royal Family is saying the news of King Charles death is still not public or ‘official.’ They are still planning a major news conference soon…
THE NAIROBIYAN™ : Who will takeover as the king or queen now that King Charles III has died
Ghost Ezra : BREAKING: SOURCE REPORTS KING CHARLES HAS DIED AFTER SUCCUMBING TO PROSTATE CANCER AT THE AGE OF 75
If King Charles III actually died from any cause, it would have officially announced on the official website, and on the BBC. Yet, there has been no such announcement.
On the other hand, the UK Embassy in Ukraine officially announced that King Charles is not dead:
News about King Charles III death is fake
Fact #2 : King Charles III Death Announcement Is Fake
Other people are sharing what appears to be an official announcement by Buckingham Palace, which states simply:
THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE BY ROYAL COMMUNICATIONS
The King passed away unexpectedly yesterday afternoon.
Monday, 18th March 2024
Even though this announcement was dated today – Monday, 18 March 2024, it was not posted by Buckingham Palace. We also know that it’s fake, because:
The announcement does not appear to be formatted properly as previous official statements.
Statements issued by Buckingham Palace would not be labelled as issued by Royal Communications.
Fact #3 : King Charles III Does Not Have Prostate Cancer
Here’s another clue why this is a fake claim – King Charles does not have prostate cancer.
On 5 February 2024, Buckingham Palace issued a statement informing the public that when King Charles underwent a procedure for benign prostate enlargement, his doctors discovered an unspecified cancer.
During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
Buckingham Palace declined to reveal what type of cancer King Charles was diagnosed with, and would only confirm that it was not prostate cancer.
No further details are being shared at this stage, except to confirm that His Majesty does not have prostate cancer.
Fact #4 : No One Offered Any Evidence
Quite a number of people are claiming that an unnamed “source” reported that King Charles died from prostate cancer. However, none of them actually offered any evidence such a source exists.
Interestingly, this rumour appears to have first appeared in Russian media, instead of the notoriously inquisitive and free media in the United Kingdom!
Russia’s Gazeta, for example, reported on its Telegram channel that Russian media reported King Charles III died, only to later update it with an announcement that:
Buckingham Palace told TASS that Charles III is alive. He continues to perform work duties and engage in private affairs.
Fact #6 : Rumour Came Right After Major Announcement Fake News
Coincidentally (or perhaps not), this rumour came right after people falsely claimed that the British Royal Family told people to look out for an impending major announcement.
Fact #7 : This Is Just Royal Family Fake News!
This appears to be yet another example of fake news about the British Royal family, like these examples:

Did the British Royal Family just say there will be a major announcement soon?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Royal Family Will Make A Major Announcement Soon!
Some people are claiming that the British Royal Family will make a major announcement soon! Here are just some examples:
Global Eye News : The British Royal Family has said there will be a Major Announcement at any moment.
SR ⁶⁹ : The British Royal Family has said there will be a Major Announcement at any moment. Fingers crossed 🤞
No Evidence Royal Family Will Make A Major Announcement Soon!
This appears to be another example offake news circulating on social media platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Royal Family Never Said There Will Be Major Announcement Soon
Let me start by simply pointing out that the British Royal Family has not said anything about a major announcement soon.
There may, or may not be, a major announcement soon, but the British Royal Family has not said anything. It certainly did tell people to watch out for an impending major announcement!
Fact #2 : Royal Experts Never Said Anything Either
Not even the usual royal experts / commentators have said that the Royal Family is about to make a major announcement.
They would never have kept quiet about such a juicy gossip. Yet none of them confirmed that any major announcement was forthcoming from the Royal Family.
None of those who claimed that the British Royal Family “said there will be a Major Announcement” soon, or at any moment, actually provided any evidence to back up their claims.
That’s because it didn’t happen. Even those who should known better did not appear to have done any basic verification, before posting it on their social media accounts.
Or perhaps, they were merely interested in trolling or gaslighting people for traffic and engagement, because that’s what makes money!

Is Kate Middleton planning to retire from her royal duties after undergoing abdominal surgery?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Kate Middleton Plans To Retire From Royal Duties!
People are sharing a Music Mundial article (archive) which claims that Kate Middleton is planning to retire from her royal duties after undergoing abdominal surgery!
Kate Middleton is reportedly planning to retire from her royal duties due to the pressures of royalty
The Princess of Wales would be tired of having a public life as a royal
Among the recent controversies in the British monarchy, it was also revealed that Kate Middleton is reportedly planning to retire from her royal duties due to the pressures of royalty during her recovery process after she underwent abdominal surgery.
According to recent reports, the Princess of Wales shook her marriage to Prince William after living a “desperate struggle with the constant pressures of life in the royal fishbowl, which has clearly taken a terrible toll on her physical and mental health“.
Following Kate’s abdominal surgery, she spent a month and a half away from public duties, which “only strengthened her resolve to quit“. For his part, given the situation, “William is beside himself over her decision” and he is also concerned that “she’s become emotionally unstable“.
Kate Middleton “knew when she married William her life would change forever, but never in her wildest dreams thought it would be this intense!“. Over the years, she has been “painted the villain, a racist” and that is the reason she “wants to retreat“.
No Evidence Kate Middleton Plans To Retire From Royal Duties!
This appears to be nothing more than celebrity rumour created to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Rumour Started At The National Enquirer
Let me start by pointing out that the rumour appears to have started at The National Enquirer, the infamous tabloid that falsely reported that Kate Middleton was pregnant with twins! The rumour was then posted by Radar Online:
While Kate reportedly hasn’t officially decided, the 42-year-old keeps pushing back the date when she’ll return to public life.
“Kate’s desperate struggle with the constant pressures of life in the royal fishbowl has clearly taken a terrible toll on her physical and mental health,” a senior palace source told the National Enquirer.
“She spent weeks staying out of the public eye after her operations — and it’s only strengthened her resolve to quit,” the source added.
“William is beside himself over her decision,” the source told the outlet. “He’s stunned his wife could ever consider such a move.”
“He made sure she knew what she was getting into when she married him and she’s done a brilliant job,” the source continued. “He’s concerned she’s become emotionally unstable, but she insists she’s finally seeing clearly!”
Interestingly – no one else has been able to corroborate this new claim by The National Enquirer. Neither royal experts, or reputable media outlets. Not even other tabloids!
Fact #2 : Kate Middleton Should Start Royal Duties By Easter
Instead, palace sources refuted those claims, stating on 12 March, that Kate Middleton is “recovering well and will be back by Easter“. That’s just over 2 weeks away – on March 31.
Another palace source also toldUS Weekly that the Princess of Wales is “extremely eager to get back to work“:
Kate’s extremely keen to get back to work. This has been one of the most challenging months for Kate as a royal, and she’s praying the fuss [over the Mother’s Day photo] dies down as soon as possible.
Kensington Palace had earlier stated, back in January, that the Princess Catherine would only return to public life after Easter. So, it appears that the Kate Middleton is eager to return to royal duties, and is not trying to delay her return to public life.
But whether the Princess of Wales starts working by the end of this month, or in April, multiple sources have indicated clearly that Kate Middleton fully intends to return to her royal duties.
Again, no one has been able to actually show any evidence Kate Middleton intends to retire from royal duties.
In fact, the UK Ministry of Defense announced on March 5, that the 2024 Trooping the Colour would be “reviewed by Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales” on June 2024. It was another indication she fully intends to return to royal duty.
That post, and related information, were removed the next day though, probably because they preceded the official announcement by Kensington Palace that the Princess of Wales was officially returning to her royal duties.
Fact #3 : Kate Middleton Posted The Mother’s Day Photo
Let us not forget (even though she probably wished it never happened!) that Princess Catherine posted that infamous Mother’s Day photo that Prince William took on his Canon camera, which she later edited.
Princess Catherine even posted the photo with her personal message (indicated by her C sign-off):
Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.
Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. C
That is not the sign of someone who wants to leave the (harsh) limelight of royal duties and public life. If Princess Catherine wanted to retire, as some have claimed, she would not have bothered to have that photo taken, never mind actually edit the photo herself, and then post it with a personal message!
Instead, it appears that the couple decided to post that informal photo and message to reassure the public that the Princess of Wales was recovering well, and would soon be returning to public life.
Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.
— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) March 10, 2024
Fact #4 : Kate Middleton Is An Adult
Let me just end by pointing out that Princess Catherine is an adult. She’s 42 years-old, and the mother of three children. No one can force her to return to royal duties if she doesn’t want to.
If she wants to retire from her royal duties, she will do so, regardless of what the British royal family wants. What are they going to do if she refuses? Bound and gag her and push her out with a smiley face mask???

Did a palace aide admit that Kate Middleton was placed into a medically-induced coma, after post-surgical complications?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Palace Aide Admitted Kate Middleton Was In Medical Coma!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that a palace aide admitted that Kate Middleton was placed into a medically-induced coma, after post-surgical complications!
Palace Aide Admits Royals Placed Kate Middleton In ‘Medically Induced Coma’
Kate Middleton’s life is in “grave danger” following unexpected complications following surgery earlier this year and the royal family’s decision to put her in a medically induced coma, according to a member of Prince William’s royal household.
Spanish journalist Concha Calleja, a former royal reporter for Buzzfeed before they shuttered, is standing by her claims that Princess Kate was put into a “medically induced coma” after her abdominal surgery earlier this year.
According to Spanish news outlet Casa de Borbon, the reporter responded to a palace source denying the ordeal.
“I reaffirm what I said…This happens when you touch a nerve, it is annoying. I fully trust my source. What happens is that they feel upset because we have discovered the truth,” she said, as per English translation.
The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic for abdominal surgery last month, and according to the palace, she was released after a fortnight of recovery.
According to the official narrative, Middleton is currently on a bed rest at her home in Windsor and isn’t expected to return to royal duties until after Easter.
However, following a series of PR gaffes and bizarrely photoshopped images, the number of people in the world who currently believe anything coming out of the palace right now is zero.
According to Calleja, the royal household has not been honest about Kate’s dire predicament.
Citing an “aide from the royal household,” Calleja claims Kate’s life is in “great danger” due to postoperative complications that the doctors “didn’t expect” and the royal household’s decision to induce a coma.
No Evidence Palace Aide Admitted Kate Middleton Was In Medical Coma!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : It Was An Old Claim
Let me start by pointing out that this isn’t a new story. The claim that Kate Middleton was placed in a medically-induced coma was made more than 1.5 months ago!
On 28 January 2024 – a day before Kate Middleton was discharged from the hospital after her abdominal surgery, Spanish journalist Concha Calleja claimed on the Fiesta show (archive) that the Princess of Wales’ life was “in great danger” after the operation, and they placed her in a coma.
The doctors had to take drastic decisions at that moment because of the complications that arose. The decision was to put her in an induced coma. They had to intubate her. There were serious complications that they didn’t expect because the operation went well, but the postoperative period didn’t go so well.
Concha Calleja then claimed that Kate Middleton’s recovered was “possibly going to require a lot of assistance“, and that “practically an entire hospital is being set up” in her home.
Fact #2 : The Claim Was Quickly Refuted
Calleja’s shocking claims were quickly refuted by Kensington Palace, with a palace source calling it “total nonsense”, and pointing out that she never even attempted to verify with the palace.
It’s total nonsense. No attempt was made by that journalist to fact-check anything that she said with anyone in the household. It’s fundamentally, totally made-up, and I’ll use polite English here: it’s absolutely not the case.
The very next day after Calleja made her shocking claims, Kensington Palace said that Kate Middleton. was discharged from the hospital, and had already returned home to continue her recovery.
The Princess of Wales has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery. She is making good progress.
If she was ever in a medically-induced coma, it wasn’t for very long, because Kate Middleton only stayed for 13 days in the hospital!
But to be clear – there is no actual evidence that Kate Middleton was ever in a medically-induced coma.
Fact #4 : Concha Calleja Never Provided Any Evidence
Despite the denial by palace sources and Kate Middleton’s discharge from the hospital, Concha Calleja stuck to her guns.
I still stand by everything I’ve said, despite the regrets. I have touched nerves, and nerve always hurts, and that is what has happened. There has not been a single statement denying this, not a single one. I trust my source.
However, she noticeably did not provide any evidence to back up her claim, beyond what was allegedly said by an anonymous palace source. It is also uncertain how the palace aide would be privy to Kate Middleton’s condition, as she was still in the hospital at that time.
Fact #5 : Concha Calleja’s Claimed Were Never Corroborated
I should also point out that no other royal expert or journalist have been able to corroborate Concha Calleja’s claims. And it was not for the lack of trying, that’s for sure!
To date – the only person to ever claim that Kate Middleton was placed in a medically-induced coma due to post-surgical complications was Concha Calleja.
Fact #6 : Kate Middleton Was Seen Alive + Well
The People’s Voice article claimed that “the palace did not provide any proof to show that the Princess of Wales is alive and well“. Perhaps that’s because Kate Middleton was already seen in public… at least TWICE!
On 4 March (more than a week ago!), paparazzi took photos of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, sitting in a vehicle being driven by her mother, Carol, near Windsor Castle.
On 11 March – 3 days ago, she was seen leaving in a car with Prince William, just hours after she apologised for digitally editing her Mother’s Day photo.
These two photos clearly show that Kate Middleton is alive and well enough to go out without medical staff present. They suggest that Kensington Palace was telling the truth when it stated that the Princess of Wales was recovering well.
On top of that, Kate Middleton herself posted a photo taken by Prince William for Mother’s Day:
Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.

Fact #7 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did Kate Middleton hinted at a divorce after she was spotted not wearing her wedding ring in the controversial Mother’s Day photo?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Kate Middleton Hinted At Divorce By Not Wearing Wedding Ring!
Some websites and people are suggesting that Kate Middleton hinted at a divorce from Prince William, after she was spotted not wearing her wedding ring in the controversial Mother’s Day photo!
Music Mundial : Kate Middleton confirms she didn’t wear her wedding ring in her new photo. Neglect or declaration of divorce?
The new post for Women’s Day of the princess with her three children had a small signal of editing, which she later apologized for, confirming the photo is real and that she was conscious of the lack of her important jewel that symbolizes her union with Prince William.
Harry will have all the fun then : Why isn’t Kate Middleton aka Princess of Wales wearing her wedding ring, though? Has she served divorce papers on Prince William?
Daily Diaries Friday : Prince william wants to divorce kate middleton and that’s why kate doesn’t have a wedding ring
No Evidence Kate Middleton Hinted At Divorce By Not Wearing Wedding Ring!
Let’s take a look at the claims, and see what the facts really are!
Fact #1 : Kate Middleton Edited Mother’s Day Photo
First, let me just give you a quick recap on the Kate Middleton Mother’s Day photo controversy.
In order of Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom, Kensington Palace shared a new photo of Kate Middleton with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Soon after, multiple photo agencies recalled the photo because it appeared to be a “manipulated” photo. In other words – there were signs that it was edited.
On 11 March 2024, Kate Middleton posted on their official @KensingtonRoyal account that she edited the photo herself.
Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C
To be clear – Kate Middleton never said that she edited out the ring. In fact, she made no mention of her engagement ring!
— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) March 10, 2024
Fact #2 : Photo Was Taken By Prince William
I should also point out that the photo was taken by Prince William. If you look at the original post, you can see that it was labelled as taken by The Prince of Wales.
The exact date was not provided, only that he took it in 2024. So it could hypothetically been taken before her planned abdominal surgery on 16 January 2024.
If they were in the midst of a divorce, I highly doubt Kate Middleton would ask Prince William to take that photo!
Fact #3 : It Was A Mother’s Day Photo!
People are wondering – why isn’t Prince William in the photo? Simply explained – that was a photo for Mother’s Day. It would be very odd if Prince William was in that shot!
In fact, when it was Father’s Day, the couple released a photo of Prince William (alone!) with his three children, taken by portrait photographer, Millie Pilkington.
Does this Father’s Day photo, which was not taken by Kate Middleton, suggest that Prince William wanted to divorce the Princess of Wales??? Of course, not!
— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) June 18, 2023
Fact #4 : Kate Middleton Does Not Always Wear Her Rings
Kate Middleton does not normally wear her engagement ring – the massive (in size and cost!) sapphire ring that she inherited from Princess Diana. Instead, she often wears a Welsh gold wedding band.
Neither were seen in the Mother’s Day photo, but that’s not something shocking, because she was at home when Prince William took that photo. Many people don’t wear their wedding rings at home.
Others have pointed out that it is also possible that Kate removed her ring before her surgery, and had yet to put it back on because of swelling that had not subsided.

Is the UK about to give away its powers and sovereignty to the WHO by signing the Pandemic Treaty?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : UK Is Giving Up Its Powers + Sovereignty To WHO!
People are sharing a video posted by British MP Andrew Bridgen, in which he claimed or suggested that the UK is about to give away powers and sovereignty to the WHO through the Pandemic Treaty.
Andrew Bridgen MP : This morning, I asked @PennyMordauntif we could have a statement on why this House is so content with giving away powers and sovereignty to the unelected, undemocratic, diplomatically immune World Health Organization.
And why did the Petitions Committee reject Petition 648609 which called for the UK to leave the WHO?
Previously, similar claims were made by other people and websites regarding countries giving up their powers and sovereignty if they sign the WHO Pandemic Treaty, which I covered in these articles:
Truth : UK Is Not Giving Up Its Powers + Sovereignty To WHO!
Let’s take a look at the claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Fact #1 : Penny Mordaunt Called It Invented Drama
In the video, Penny Mordaunt – the current Leader of the House of Commons) called Andrew Bridgen’s question invented drama, because the Petitions Committee is responsible for such petitions, and not the House of Commons itself.
Well, I think there is enough to worry about, and focus on, and debate about, health-related issues, and all sorts of other issues, without inventing crises and drama where there is none.
The Honourable Gentleman has already acknowledged in his question that the petition he refers to is a matter for the Petitions Committee. That is a committee of this House. I am not responsible for the decisions it takes.
I would facilitate and help the Honourable Gentleman secure debates, raise questions, and anything else that he wants to do on any topic he wishes to campaign on. And he would know because he has secured debates in this space, and indeed, they have been well-attended debates, that this House is very open to discussing all sorts of issues, including the World Health Organization, including the treaty that I know the Honourable Gentleman is concerned about.
So let’s just focus on the real issues, and the substance and matters at hand, and not pretend that this House or anyone in it, or any of its committees, has any other hidden agenda because the Honourable Gentleman knows that is not true.
Such petitions are sent to the relevant department responsible for the subject matter (source), with that department usually issuing a response (known as an “observation”) within two months. The Petitions Committee may then recommend further actions on the petition, or it may not.
In short – Penny Mordaunt pointed out that Andrew Bridgen knows that Public Petition 648609 would be decided by the Petitions Committee, and not the House of Commons itself.
The Petitions Committee declined to schedule a debate for Public Petition 648609 (End the UK’s membership of the World Health Organization), because the House had already discussed the same issue in two earlier debates:
The Petitions Committee has decided not to schedule a debate on this petition.
The Committee recognised the support that this petition has received. However, the issues raised by this petition have recently been discussed by MPs in other debates, including:
Fact #3 : UK Is Not Giving Up Powers Or Sovereignty To WHO
The UK government had already responded to this petition on 17 November 2023, pointing out that it will never cede sovereignty to the WHO through any partnerships.
The UK Government will not end our WHO membership. We are committed to working with the WHO to tackle the world’s health issues. We do not and will never cede sovereign powers through our partnership.
In its full response, the UK Department of Health and Social Care also pointed out that:
… the UK has been and will continue to be clear that we would not agree any amendments to the IHR or sign up to an Accord that would cede sovereignty to the WHO in relation to making domestic decisions on national measures concerning public health, such as, domestic immunisation programme rollouts and other similar measures.
Any new or amended domestic legislation necessary to reflect new international obligations under the IHR or the Accord would be made through the applicable parliamentary process. In all circumstances, the sovereignty of the UK Parliament would remain unchanged.
Fact #4 : WHO Pandemic Treaty Does Not Affect Sovereignty!
If you download and read the zero draft, you will realise that it clearly states in Pages 10 and 11 that countries like the UK will continue to have the right to “determine and manage” their own healthcare initiatives, including how to tackle future pandemics.
3. Sovereignty – States have, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, the sovereign right to determine and manage their approach to public health, notably pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery of health systems, pursuant to their own policies and legislation, provided that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to their peoples and other countries. Sovereignty also covers the rights of States over their biological resources.
Unless Andrew Bridgen and those who signed up for Public Petition 648609 did not read the Zero Draft, it seems impossible that they would not be aware that the WHO Pandemic Treaty would not affect any country’s sovereignty!

Did a British study confirm that over 1 billion people now have VAIDS from the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : British Study Confirmed 1 Billion People Now Have VAIDS!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed that a British study confirmed that over 1 billion people now have VAIDS (Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) from the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine!
British Gov’t Bombshell: ‘One Billion Vaccinated People Now Have VAIDS’
An official British study has confirmed that over one billion people worldwide now have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS) as a direct result of taking the mRNA Covid jab.
According to a group of scientists at Cambridge University, at least 25% of the fully vaxxed population are now suffering extreme immune responses to the toxic chemicals found in the Covid shots.
The sharp decrease in immunity following vaccination is caused by “altered cytokine responses”. Cytokines are small proteins that are produced by our immune system in response to infection. The more jabs a person receives, the more depleted the immune system becomes, resulting in VAIDS.
mRNA jabs, such as the ones created by Moderna and Pfizer, use a string of genetic material to tell the body to create a specific protein that safely imitates an infection.
Research in the field, spanning decades, had been slow work. It often stalled because RNA itself is often attacked by the body as a foreign invader.
But in 2023, the Nobel Prize for Medicine went to the pair of scientists who had spent years working to fix the problem. It was done by taking one of the RNA bases, uridine, and swapping in a very similar synthetic alternative.
This breakthrough allowed scientists to create proteins in the body without the immune system attacking the jab.
It allows for quick and precise vaccines that are highly effective and was the backbone of the Covid vaccine response.
It was thought the minor tweak to uridine caused no problems in cells, but a team of researchers at the University of Cambridge’s Medical Research Council (MRC) Toxicology Unit have now found when this partially synthetic code is read, the protein-making machine in the body sometimes struggles with the uridine analogues.
Because it is not a perfect fit for what is expected, there can be a momentary pause which causes the process to stutter and a letter in the code can get skipped, much like a bike slipping a gear.
This process, called frameshifting, throws out the way the code is interpreted as it relies on groups of three bases, known as codons, being read in the right order.
This issue, caused by the jab’s code, throws the process completely out of sync and the entire subsequent code becomes garbled.
In the case of the Covid jabs, the end result is a nonsensical and harmless protein, the team found, which the body attacks and leads to an immune system flare-up. The new study, published in Nature, found this occurred in around 25-30 per cent of people.
Truth : British Study Did Not Confirm 1 Billion People Have VAIDS!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Vaccine AIDS Does Not Exist
Let me start by pointing out that there is no medical disease called Vaccine AIDS or VAIDS – Vaccine-Induced Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It appears to be something made-up by anti-vaccination activists to scare people.
AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Nothing else causes AIDS. Certainly no vaccine, not even the COVID-19 vaccine, causes AIDS.
Robert Charles Gallo – one of the two scientists who independently discovered that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was responsible for AIDS, said in response to the 2021 claim by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro that COVID-19 vaccines cause AIDS:
[I]t’s hard to believe anyone would claim that the covid-19 vaccine causes AIDS. We know what causes AIDS.
I don’t know what your president said. So I don’t want to be too critical. But it is obvious that neither the covid-19 vaccine nor any other vaccine causes AIDS.
Fact #2 : British Study Does Not Even Mention VAIDS!
Curiously, The People’s Voice article does not link to the British study (N1-methylpseudouridylation of mRNA causes +1 ribosomal frameshifting), which you can read here.
Perhaps it’s because anyone who even skims through the study will quickly realise that it does not mention anything about VAIDS (Vaccine-Induced Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome). That’s not a surprise because VAIDS does not even exist!
So why would anyone claim that this study showed that mRNA vaccines cause Vaccine AIDS or VAIDS?!
Fact #3 : Study Did Not Say 25% Of Vaccinated Are Now Suffering
The People’s Voice article claimed that the British scientists said that “at least 25% of the fully vaxxed population are now suffering extreme immune responses to the toxic chemicals found in the Covid shots”.
That’s not true – the British researchers did not say that 25% of vaccinated people are now suffering from extreme immune responses to the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
For one thing – it was ⅓, not 25% of the 21 vaccinated people in the study who developed “off-target proteins” caused by ‘slips’ along the mRNA sequence. On top of that, the researchers clearly pointed out that those “off-target proteins” did not produce any ill effects:
In collaboration with researchers at the Universities of Kent, Oxford and Liverpool, the MRC Toxicology Unit team tested for evidence of the production of ‘off-target’ proteins in people who received the mRNA Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19.
They found an unintended immune response occurred in one third of the 21 patients in the study who were vaccinated – but with no ill-effects, in keeping with the extensive safety data available on these COVID-19 vaccines.
To be clear – the British study did not conclude that any vaccinated person was harmed by the “off-target proteins” that can be produced by the current Pfizer mRNA vaccine.
Fact #4 : No Evidence mRNA Vaccines Cause Altered Cytokine Response
The People’s Voice article referred to another study which supposedly showed that a “sharp decrease in immunity following vaccination is caused by altered cytokine response“. That is not true either.
Here’s the gist – the study also did not mention anything about VAIDS, and was only conducted on blood samples. The children participating in that study did not report any side effect or disease from their COVID-19 vaccinations.
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did Mel Gibson say the global elites like King Charles and Kate Middleton are being killed to make way for the Antichrist, Prince William?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Mel Gibson Said Elites Will Die To Make Way For Antichrist!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that Mel Gibson said that the elites are dying or being sacrificed to make way for the Antichrist, who is purportedly Prince William!
Mel Gibson: Global Elites Will Keep Dying To Make Way For The Antichrist
High-ranking global elites will continue dying in unprecedented numbers according to Mel Gibson who warns that the season of Illuminati blood sacrifices has arrived, and the old guard of the global elite are in the process of being slaughtered like cloven-hoofed beasts.
We have seen an extraordinary number of high-ranking global elites pass from this earth to the next in recent times. Queen Elizabeth, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger and most recently Lord Jacob Rothschild himself.
According to Gibson, these elites are returning to their demonic form in order to better support the Antichrist from the lower realms as he assumes his position on the world’s throne as the king of kings.
If Gibson is correct, Francis, Soros and Schwab are next in line to pop their clogs. But it’s not all good news. The devil is not even bothering to hide anymore and yet people still don’t want to believe he exists.
Where is Kate Middleton? It is safe to say that something very strange is taking place at the highest echelons of occult globalist power.
While the mainstream media tried to convince the masses that there was an innocent explanation for the event, those who understand the Royal’s connections to the occult knew that it was a sign that something very important was about to happen at the top of the Illuminati power hierarchy.
As it turns out, they were right and the mainstream media were wrong. Again.
The very next day, Lord Jacob Rothschild himself, international financier and key figure in the Rothschild dynasty, was pronounced dead.
Lord Jacob Rothschild’s death wasn’t the only peculiar incident to follow the highly symbolic pageantry of the white horse in Whitehall last weekend.
Earlier this week Prince William pulled out of an important event for the Royal Family with no further explanation given. This is very unusual behavior for a senior Royal, much less the heir to the throne who has never been known to break royal etiquette in the past.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton hasn’t been seen in public since the 25th of December. Not a peep.
‘Then on Tuesday it was announced that a senior member of the Royal Family with links to global finance had been found dead at his residential address in the Cotswolds. While the Royal Family have kept the details of Thomas Kingston’s death private, family statements suggest the son-in-law of the Duke of Kent took his own life.
This is noteworthy because the Duke of Kent is considered to be the most powerful Freemason not just in England but one of the most powerful in the world.
Now we have Kate Middleton completely missing from the public eye, King Charles’s cancer declaration, Jacob Rothschild dead, Duke of Kent’s Son-in-Law dead, Henry Kissinger dead, David Rockefeller dead, all in the wake of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, the most blatant and shameless occult event of the last hundred years.
As Mel Gibson explains, this is simply a demonic changing of the guard making way for something much more dark and powerful, the Antichrist and the New World Order.
Along with Lord Rothschild, the old guard are now departing en masse to the demonic realms of the lower Astral to be welcomed home by their fellow demons who have been manipulating human society for aeons.
A demonic changing of the guard – for now. Making way for something much more dark and powerful. The antichrist himself.
According to Gibson, the Illuminati elite have gone into overdrive in recent years promoting their evil agenda on the world stage, preparing humanity for the next stage of their Luciferian master plan.
Explaining that he has met Prince William twice and the heir to the throne always has demonic entities trailing along behind him, Gibson also claims that William has already taken up the role behind the scenes and this fact is an open secret among the global elite.
However, a quick check showed that it is the only source for this claim of elites dying to make way for the Antichrist attributed to Mel Gibson. This is surprising since celebrity blogs and mainstream media outlets have, and certainly would have, reported on such controversial claims… if he actually made them.
Yet, no one else has apparently seen or heard Mel Gibson claim that elites are dying or being sacrificed to make way for the Antichrist! There is also no evidence Mel Gibson ever met Prince William twice, never mind actually seeing demonic entities trailing behind him.
Unfortunately, but perhaps not surprisingly, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claims.
Fact #2 : Kate Middleton Isn’t Dying Or Missing
The People’s Voice article claimed that Kate Middleton hasn’t been seen in public, or heard from, since 25 December, suggesting that she “may never return”, or “she will be a different fallen angel in the same body”.
Never mind it offered no evidence Kate Middleton was being killed or sacrificed to make Prince William the Antichrist… Kate Middleton was actually seen in public!
On 4 March 2024, paparazzi spotted Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, sitting in a vehicle being driven by her mother, Carol, near Windsor Castle. So she most definitely has not been sacrificed to make Prince William the Antichrist…
Fact #3 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Find out why Thomas Kingston – Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband, did not die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine, and what was his real cause of death!
Claim : Thomas Kingston Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that Thomas Kingston died suddenly at just 45 years of age, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, and Pippa Middleton’s ex died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine!
𝕏NEWS NANCY𝕏 : 🚨UK — Thomas Kingston, has died suddenly. He was 45. Reports: No foul play. Source: Buckingham Palace
We all know how common it is for a healthy 45-year-old man to die. Oh wait — it’s only BECOME common since the MANDATED rollout.
I’d like to say rest in peace, but NO ONE should be resting in peace until their family cares enough to INSIST on using the available vaccine technology to trace the death of origin.
🔄 Share this or just consider yourself complicit.
Cillian : Since Prince William pushed the COVID jabs, urging the “younger generations” to take it and claiming that “social media is awash with misinformation”:
• Two Royals – including his father, King Charles – have been diagnosed with cancer.
• His paternal grandparents (Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip) have both died.
• Thomas Kingston – his cousin-in-law – has “died suddenly” at 45.
• His wife, Kate Middleton, was hospitalised and has not been seen for more than two months.
At what stage does it become more than just a coincidence? 🤔💉
Herd Immunity News : News: Where is WEF KC3 On Excess Deaths?: The Death Of Thomas Kingston: Inquest to open into death of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent’s son-in-law. All we know so far is that Mr Kingston #DiedSuddenly.
For a Monarch who increasing speaks out on ‘climate change’, support for the meat grinder of Ukraine and doing more for illegal migrants KC3 is remarkably silent on the JAB deaths, in particular, involving a member of the Royal Family. Perhaps this is due to his Royal Majesty’s hearty backing for these faulty, inadequately tested medical interventions himself?
Yet again, like so many other untimely deaths, millions of people around the world will conclude that this is yet another death related to the CV19 JAB. We know that 90% of the UK population took at least ONE of these deadly trial meds. However we don’t know if Moderna, AstraZeneca or Pfizer played a part in this poor man demise?
The sudden death of the 45-year-old financier came as a “great shock”, his wife and family said in a joint statement. #Excessdeaths are sitting around 110k since 2021, as record numbers perish well before their time.
As the elites focus their attention of endless, pointless wars and genocide, it’s no surprise that the silence is deafening on these sickening stats.
Thomas Kingston : Cause Of Death Was Not Vaccine SADS!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on social media platforms like Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Thomas Kingston Died From Gun Shot
Let me start by simply pointing out that Thomas Kingston did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine, because he died from a “traumatic head wound“, with a gun found near his body.
This was revealed at the Gloucestershire Coroner’s Court on 1 March 2024, in an inquest into his sudden death, after a post-mortem was conducted.
According to senior coroner Katy Skerrett, Thomas Kingston had lunch with his parents at their family home in the Cotswolds on Sunday, 25 February 2024. His father then took their dogs on a walk, and on his return, Thomas was not in the house.
His father later found Thomas Kingston with “a catastrophic head injury”, after forcing entry into a locked outbuilding, and a gun was found at the scene. Police and paramedics were called to the scene at about 6 PM, after an unnamed family member made a 999 call.
These brief circumstances are as follows. Mr Kingston was visiting his parents’ home in the Cotswolds. On February 25 2024 he ate lunch with his parents. His father went out to walk the dogs.
On his return Mr Kingston was not in the house and after approximately 30 minutes his mother went to look for him. His father forced entry on a locked out building when no reply could be gained.
He found Mr Kingston deceased with a catastrophic head injury. A gun was present at the scene. Emergency services were called. Police are satisfied the death is not suspicious.
post mortem has been undertaken by Dr Jones, a consultant histopathologist, and a provisional cause of death has been given as a traumatic wound to head.
Having been satisfied with identification, initial cause of death and the brief circumstances surrounding Mr Kingston’s death, I can formally open this inquest. I now adjourn it to a date to be fixed. That concludes the opening of the inquest into the death of Thomas Henry Robin Kingston.
The official cause of death for Thomas Kingston was “a traumatic wound to the head“. While the inquest did not expressly say so, it appears that Thomas Kingston committed suicide by gun.
Obviously, no vaccine – not even the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine – can pull the trigger of that gun to cause a traumatic wound to Thomas Kingston’s head!
Until and unless his family (or the authorities) reveal his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Thomas Kingston was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.
Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Thomas Kingston was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses more than two years ago! He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination. Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did McDonald’s just lose its legal battle against Jamie Oliver over its toxic pink slime meat?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : McDonald’s Loses Legal Battle With Jamie Oliver!
People are claiming on social media that McDonald’s just lost its legal battle against British chef Jamie Oliver over its toxic pink slime meat!
Keep it Real : [McDonald’s loses the legal battle with chef Jamie Oliver, who proved that the food they sell is not fit to be ingested because it is highly toxic.
Chef Jamie Oliver has won a battle against the world’s largest junk food chain. Oliver proving how buyers are made.
Colin Young : Did anyone hear Jamie Oliver took McDonald’s to court last week and winning the case stating their food wasn’t suitable for human consumption
Didn’t think you would but it’s true
Absolutely disgusting 🤮
Amanda RN :🚨 [McDonald’s loses the legal battle with chef Jamie Oliver, who proved that the food they sell is not fit to be ingested because it is highly toxic.
Chef Jamie Oliver has won a battle against the world’s largest junk food chain. Oliver proving how burgers are made.
According to Oliver, the fat parts of meat are “washed” with ammoniac hydrogen and then used in the packaging of the meat “cake” to fill the burger. Before this process, according to the presenter, already this meat was not suitable for human consumption.
Oliver, a radical activist chef, who has waged a war against the food industry, says: We’re talking about meat that would be sold as dog food and after this process it’s served to humans. In addition to the quality of meat, ammonium acid is harmful to health. Oliver says this: “The process of the pink crap”.
What sane human being would put a piece of meat soaked in ammonium hydrogen in the mouth of a child?
In another of his initiatives Oliver has demonstrated how chicken nuggets are made: after selecting the “best parts”, the rest: fat, skin, cartilage, visuals, bones, head, legs, are subjected to a mec split smoothie canica – it’s the euphemism that engineers use in food, and then that blood pink paste is deodorant, bleached, re-refreshed and repainted, dipped in flour and fried melcocha, this is left in usually partially hydrogenated oils, that is, toxins.
The food industry uses ammonium hydrogen as an anti-microbial agent, which allowed McDonald’s to use meat in its burgers, which is not suitable for human consumption.
But even more disturbing is the situation that these substances based on ammonium hydrogen are considered ‘lawful components in the production process’ in the food industry with the blessings of health authorities worldwide. So consumers will never be able to discover what substances they put in our food.
Truth : McDonald’s Did Not Lose Legal Battle With Jamie Oliver!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on WhatsApp, and social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : There Was No McDonald’s – Jamie Oliver Lawsuit
Let me start by pointing out that there was no legal battle between McDonald’s and Jamie Oliver. McDonald’s did not sue Jamie Oliver, and Jamie Oliver also did not sue McDonald’s.
Fact #2 : Jamie Oliver Did Not Target McDonald’s
Jamie Oliver did not actually target McDonald’s. So there is really no reason for McDonald’s or Jamie Oliver to sue one another.
In the episode of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution that aired on 12 April 2011, Jamie Oliver spoke out against Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB), which he derisively referred to as “pink slime”.
Fact #3 : Jamie Oliver Did Not “Discover” Pink Slime
While much has been made about Jamie Oliver’s “battle” against pink slime, he did not create that term, and he wasn’t even amongst the first to speak out against LFTB, which has been sold since 2001.
The term “pink slime” was reportedly coined by USDA microbiologist Gerald Zirstein in a 2002 email to his colleagues. He was, arguably, also the first to criticise LFTB.
I do not consider the stuff to be ground beef, and I consider allowing it in ground beef to be a form of fraudulent labeling.
Michael Moss from The New York Times posted not one article, but at least two articles on the safety of LFTB – on 3 October 2009, and then on 30 December 2009,.
Two years later, ABC News would air a series of reports on LFTB in March 2011. It was only after the extensive coverage by ABC News that Jamie Oliver actually featured LFTB on his show.
Despite its gross sounding name and look, LFTB is simply meat that has been separated from the fat in beef trimmings, and treated with ammonia to kill pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli.
The LFTB technology basically recovers meat that would otherwise be wasted and thrown away. Think of LFTB as low-fat beef paste. Regular ground beef consists of about 30% fat, while LFTB only has about 5% fat.
Fact #5 : McDonald’s Stopped Using LFTB In 2011
McDonald’s announced on 31 January 2012, that it stopped adding Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB) to its burgers since the beginning of 2011, and that it was no longer available in its products since August 2011:
At the beginning of 2011, we made a decision to discontinue the use of ammonia-treated beef in our hamburgers. This product has been out of our supply chain since August of last year. This decision was a result of our efforts to align our global standards for how we source beef around the world.
In other words – McDonald’s made the decision to stop using LFTB in its burgers in early 2011 – months before ABC News or Jamie Oliver covered LFTB. It was only in August 2011 that all of its LFTB-based products were cleared out of its supply chain.
Fact #7 : Ammonia In LFTB Isn’t Toxic
Even though McDonald’s no longer uses “pink slime” in their burgers, I should point out that the amount of ammonia used in LFTB isn’t dangerous.
The amount of ammonia present in Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB) is actually comparable to ammonia levels present in existing foods:
Food
Ammonia Level
American Cheese
813 ppm
Unblended LFTB
400-500 ppm
Ketchup
411 ppm
Onions
342 ppm
Blended Beef Patty
with 15% LFTB
200 ppm
Ground Beef
101 ppm
Ammonium hydroxide isn’t just used to treat LFTB meat trimmings, it is also used to produce a wide variety of foods like cheese, puddings, chocolate, and even as a leavening agent in bread. In fact, the ammonium hydroxide is classified as GRAS (Generally Recognised as Safe) by the US FDA, when used in appropriate concentrations.
Fact #8 : LFTB Uses Ammonium Hydroxide Gas
In his viral video, Jamie Oliver is seen showing a front loading washing machine filled with meat, with ammonia-based cleaning products in the background. He then pours from a bottle marked with “Ammonia” and a skull and crossbones symbol into a large tub filled with pieces of beef.
That is not an accurate reflection of how LFTB products are made, because the ammonium hydroxide used in the LFTB process is gaseous, not liquid. In addition, the LFTB process only uses the ammonium hydroxide gas to increase the pH of the separated meat trimmings, from 5.7 to 9.6 (source).
If there ever is a lawsuit over that Jamie Oliver video, he would be hard-pressed to explain how that demonstration accurately replicates how LFTB meat is really produced.

Did an insider reveal that Pfizer plans to make trillions off turbo cancer caused by its mRNA vaccine for COVID-19?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Pfizer Plans To Make Trillions Off mRNA Turbo Cancer!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims or suggests that an insider just revealed that Pfizer plans to make trillions off turbo cancer caused by its mRNA vaccine for COVID-19!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Pfizer To Rake In Trillions From Turbo Cancer Deaths, Insider Claims
Turbo cancer is set to claim the lives of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people in the next few years, according to a Pfizer insider who warns that everybody vaccinated with mRNA is a walking, talking time bomb waiting to explode.
According to the insider, the Covid pandemic and the mRNA roll out was an operation with decades of planning, with the express purpose of injuring people, maiming, and killing vast numbers of people deliberately.
But it gets even worse. The mRNA roll out is only in its infancy. The sick and twisted ghouls responsible for the massive spike in turbo cancers are now set to reap massive financial benefits by forcing the entire world to get vaccinated against the problem they caused in the first place.
First, it must be understood that Pfizer and Moderna Covid mRNA vaccines are causing turbo cancers at rates previously unseen in the history of the world.
And second, it must be understood that Pfizer are investing in stocks and companies in health care on specific issues that they KNOW will happen because they caused it with their agenda in order to profit off the global elite’s depopulation agenda.
With that in mind, take a look at Pfizer’s latest attempt to lull the ignorant masses into a state of complacent bliss. This Super Bowl commercial will go down in history as one of the darkest pieces of propaganda in history.
Dr. Mike Yeadon, who served as Pfizer’s vice president and chief scientist, explained that the COVID pandemic and the subsequent mRNA vaccination campaign was a “supranational operation” years in the making and designed “to injure people, to maim and kill deliberately.”
Dr. Yeadon said he came to the conclusion that the COVID pandemic was a depoulation plot by the globalists when he started seeing his Pfizer colleagues appearing on TV and telling blatant lies to the masses. He spoke to a reporter from Children’s Health Defense while attending a Truth be Told Rally in London.
Truth : Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Does Not Cause Turbo Cancer!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Turbo Cancer Does Not Exist!
Let me start by pointing out that there is no such thing as “turbo cancer”, and there is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can cause cancer, or make cancer go “turbo”.
Many cases of cancer go undetected until they become symptomatic. And sometimes, patients ignore those symptoms until they worsen.
Some cancers are also known “silent killers”, because they show no symptoms until they are already in an advanced stage, and have spread to other parts of the body. Such patients often die soon after diagnosis.
Hence, many people that were claimed to have died of turbo cancers were suffering from such “silent killer” cancers, or their cancers were actually diagnosed long before the COVID-19 vaccines were invented.
Needless to say, anti-vaccine activists provide no evidence to back their claims that vaccinated people are dying from turbo cancer. Ironically, they even accused unvaccinated people (and fellow anti vaxxers) like Kirstie Alley of dying from turbo cancer!
Fact #2 : Mike Yeadon Lost Pfizer Job In 2011
Anti-vaccine activists and articles often label Mike Yeadon (born Michael Yeadon) as a Pfizer insider, or Pfizer’s Vice President and chief scientist. That’s not really true.
For one thing – Mike Yeadon lost his job as a vice-president of Pfizer’s allergy and respiratory research unit in Kent when it was shut down in 2011. So Yeadon is hardly a Pfizer insider, having left the company more than 12 years ago!
On top of that, Mike Yeadon never worked on vaccines. His former Pfizer research unit only developed drugs for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If he had any insight into Pfizer’s “evil plans”, it would have been limited to its asthma and COPD drugs, not COVID-19 vaccines.
Fact #3 : Truth Be Told Rally Was Held In January 2023
It is odd that The People’s Voice article should only quote what Mike Yeadon said at the Truth Be Told Rally in London, because that event occurred more than a year earlier – on 21 January 2023!
Why would anyone dig up an old claim to resurrect in February 2024? They must be running out of new material to scare people…
Needless to say – there is still no evidence to back up any of those old claims. Even after more than a year, where is the evidence?
Fact #4 : No Evidence COVID-19 Pandemic Was Planned
According to The People’s Voice article, Mike Yeadon claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic was planned years ago. Neither The People’s Voice, nor Mike Yeadon, have ever provided any evidence to back up those claims.
If Mike Yeadon knew of such a plan as a former Pfizer Vice-President and chief scientist, why did he not reveal this before the COVID-19 pandemic? Why did he only mention this after the COVID-19 pandemic was declared?
He had a good 12 years to announce such a dastardly plan, from the time he lost his job at Pfizer, to the COVID-19 pandemic. If he exposed Pfizer before the COVID-19 pandemic, imagine how many lives he could have saved! So why did he not expose Pfizer earlier?
Fact #5 : Mike Yeadon Never Said Pfizer Plans To Make Trillions Off Turbo Cancer
The People’s Voice article claimed or suggested that Mike Yeadon was the insider who said that Pfizer plans to make trillions of dollars off turbo cancer caused by the mRNA vaccines.
Not only do mRNA vaccines not cause turbo cancer, it does not appear that Mike Yeadon ever made such claims at the Truth Be Told rally in London last year!
In fact, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence that Mike Yeadon ever said anything about turbo cancer, or plans by Pfizer to make trillions of dollars from turbo cancer caused by mRNA vaccines.
According to The People’s Voice article, Mike Yeadon claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic was a depopulation plot by the globalists. If that is the case, the COVID-19 vaccines have ruined that evil plot, because they have proven to be safe and effective at preventing hospitalisation and death from COVID-19.
In fact, the world’s population has continued to increase throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, breaching the 8 billion point in November 2022. It is expected to exceed 8.1 billion people in July – a 0.91% increase from 2023.
In short – there is zero evidence of any depopulation efforts, with the world population increasing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the off-chance that you are worried that COVID-19 or the vaccines are causing a drop in population growth, that has been dropping since its peak in 1963.
Fact #6 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did the British government secretly euthanise elderly hospital patients to boost COVID-19 deaths?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Britain Secretly Euthanised Elderly To Boost COVID Deaths!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims or suggests that a new study showed that the British government secretly euthanised elderly hospital patients to boost COVID-19 deaths!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
New Study: British Gov’t Secretly Euthanized Elderly Hospital Patients To Boost ‘Covid Deaths’
A new study has revealed that tens of thousands of elderly British people were secretly euthanized by the state to boost the nation’s number of official Covid-19 deaths during the early days of the pandemic.
According to the preprint research study, elderly hospital patients were euthanized with a fatal injection of Midazolam, however the cause of death was listed as “COVID,” allowing the government to artificially inflate the number of Covid deaths and convince the public that the disease was far more dangerous than was actually the case.
Described as the “crime of the century,” the bombshell data from the report was released to the public by Australian politician Craig Kelly, the national director of the United Australia Party and former member of parliament.
The information suggests that a significant number of elderly individuals were allegedly killed through the administration of the end-of-life medication Midazolam.
According to Kelly, these deaths were inaccurately attributed to Covid, forming the basis for fear-inducing campaigns that justified lockdowns and the widespread administration of mRNA vaccines, an experimental medical intervention lacking long-term safety data, even in the case of children. Kelly made these statements in a post on X, accompanying receipts of the data.
Truth : Britain Did Not Euthanised Elderly To Boost COVID Deaths!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Paper Was Preprint Article
Let me start by pointing out that the paper that are being quoted is an article called Excess Deaths in the United Kingdom: Midazolam and Euthanasia in the COVID-19 Pandemic by Wilson Sy – an investment analyst.
This article does not appear to have undergone peer review. It’s listed as a preprint on ResearchGate, and was accepted for publication in Medical & Clinical Research (which charges $3,916 for each paper) in less than a week:
Submitted : 20 Jan 2024
Accepted : 25 Jan 2024
While that does not mean its findings are necessarily wrong, such preprint papers should not be relied upon as “established information”. It very much needs to be investigated, analysed, and verified.
Even the peer-review process is merely the first step in the scientific review process, which would be followed by replication, verification, and criticism by other researchers.
Fact #2 : Paper Does Not Show Deaths Caused By Midazolam
You might expect that the paper would at least show evidence for tens of thousands of deaths that were caused by Midazolam. Unfortunately, it shows nothing of the sort.
Did it look at death certificates or medical records to determine that those deaths were caused by Midazolam, and not COVID-19? No, that would be far too much work…
All it appears to do is try and prove some kind of correlation between excess deaths and the number of Midazolam injections in the United Kingdom. And when it could not show a correlation, it adjusted the chart temporally by one month, and voilà! that looks like correlation!
The only problem is – Midazolam is a short-acting drug, with a half-life of just 1.5 to 2.5 hours. It cannot possibly kill someone one month after injection!
Not only does this paper not show that any of the deaths were actually caused by Midazolam, it does not even show any correlation between Midazolam usage and excess deaths in the UK!
Midazolam is infamous for being used to execute people sentenced to death, as well as an end-of-life medication. However, it has far more common and less morbid uses.
Midazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine that is frequently used to sedate patients before they undergo surgeries, as well as medical /dental procedures. It is also used to treat prolonged seizures, or sedate agitated patients.
It is not surprising that Midazolam usage should spike during the COVID-19 pandemic, as it is one of the two most commonly-used drugs used to sedate patients in the ICU. It is also used to sedate patients before they are intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation.
Many of us may forget, but many ICUs were overwhelmed with patients who had to be intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation during the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, many hospital wards (and even parking lots!) were converted into temporary ICUs to accommodate the surge of patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
In fact, if you think about it – it makes sense for excess deaths to spike days, weeks, or months, after a spike in Midazolam usage. It would suggest that people were dying after receiving Midazolam while critically ill in the ICU, or being intubated for mechanical ventilation.
Fact #4 : Many Deaths From COVID-19 Were Confirmed
Just over 73,000 people died from COVID-19 in the United Kingdom in 2020, with the vast majority – 94.6% confirmed as “deaths due to COVID-19”.
Deaths listed as “Confirmed COVID-19” were confirmed through tests, while deaths that were clinically determined to be caused by COVID-19 were listed as “Suspected COVID-19” if no test was available at that time, or the test result was not conclusive (source).
Regardless of whether you believe that Midazolam had any hand in these deaths, one thing is for sure – the vast majority of these deaths were confirmed to have been caused by COVID-19.
Fact #5 : Many Critially-Ill COVID-19 Patients Died
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many critically-ill patients had to be intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation as they could no longer breathe on their own. Midazolam is used to sedate such critically-ill patients, so its use would go up with the number of critically-ill patients being treated in the ICU, or placed on mechanical ventilation.
Unfortunately, a large percentage of patients on ventilator died, with some hospitals reporting mortality rates of 50% to 97%. An early report on the mortality of patients on ventilator at three hospitals in Georgia showed that approximately 30% of patients dying after being ventilated, and another 8.5% remaining on ventilation.
Just because many of those patients died while in the ICU or on mechanical ventilation does not mean that those machines, or the oxygen they provided, caused their deaths. It certainly does not mean that the Midazolam they received for sedation killed them.
Fact #6 : Euthanasia Is Illegal In United Kingdom
Finally, I should point out that both euthanasia and assisted suicide are illegal throughout the United Kingdom, and can be prosecuted as murder or manslaughter.
Doctors in the UK can only assist their patients in hastening their deaths by withholding treatment and reducing pain, and even then, only when they feel that “death is only a few days away”.
Fact #7 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

أبو عمّار (Maajid Nawaz) :The CRIME OF THE CENTURY: Midazolam Murders – Euthanizing The Elderly
“If the data is correct, the only conclusion is that tens of thousands of elderly ENGLISH were MURDERED with an INJECTION of the end-of-life drug MIDAZOLAM.”
Andrew Bridgen MP :This report supports evidence I have been provided with over the last 12 months by relatives of those who were ‘treated’ under NG163And along the way, a small group pushing the need for mass mandated injections made billions.
Craig Kelly :THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY : THE MIDAZOLAM MURDERS
If the data is correct, the only conclusion is that tens of thousands of elderly English were murdered with an injection of the end of life drug Midazolam.
These deaths were then falsely blamed on Covid, which was the basis of the public fear campaigns used to justify the lockdowns and mass mandated injections of the public (including children) with an experimental medical intervention that had zero long term safety data.
And along the way, a small group pushing the need for mass mandated injections made billions.
Robin Monotti : ‘The Crime Of The Century: Midazolam Murders – Euthanizing The Elderly’
“You may recall the fact that during COVID, the elderly were forced to remain in hospitals, and, according to more reports, the doctors were using Midazolam to “treat” them, resulting in their deaths. This has also happened in nursing homes as well, and it’s definitely a scandal of enormous proportions that no one seems to address anymore.

Was Boris Johnson’s wife, Carrie Johnson, just exposed as an Aleister Crowley worshipping occult Satanist?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Carrie Johnson Was Just Exposed As Occult Satanist!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims or suggests that Boris Johnson’s wife, Carrie Johnson, was just exposed as an Aleister Crowley worshipping occult Satanist!
Former British PM Boris Johnson’s Wife Exposed as Aleister Crowley Worshiping Occult Satanist
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s wife Carrie Johnson has been exposed an occult Satanist who worships Aleister Crowley, the unabashed occultist and self-described “wickedest man in the world.”
The revelations comes days after Vladimir Putin revealed to Tucker Carlson that Johnson as prime minister scuppered a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Photos of Johnson’s wife engaged in ritual Satanic acts have now emerged, with the former prime minister’s wife pictured next to a man with “Do as thou wilt” and “Big beast” scrawled on his body.
During Johnson’s time as prime minister, Bradshaw capitalized on her public persona by campaigning against single use straws.
Truth : Carrie Johnson Was Not Just Exposed As Occult Satanist!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : The Daily Mail Posted Them in 2018
The People’s Voice article claimed or suggested that photos of Carrie Johnson engaging in ritual Satanic acts were revealed “days after” the Vladimir Putin – Tucker Carlson interview was released.
That’s simply not true, because The Daily Mail posted those photos on 12 September 2018 – more than 5 years earlier!
Fact #2 : Photos Were Posted On Carrie Johnson’s Social Media
The photos were not leaked or exposed, because it appears that Carrie Johnson posted them on her own social media account! As per The Daily Mail article:
She may have gone to ground since finding herself at the centre of a political storm, but there was a time when Carrie Symonds was rather less camera-shy, as these pictures show.
Taken from Miss Symonds’s social media posts, they show the 30-year-old former Tory aide, who has been linked to Boris Johnson, in a variety of glamorous poses on holiday, and even starring in a ‘satanic sex cult’ theatre production during her university days.
Fact #3 : It Was A University Play
The photos also do not show Carrie Johnson (born Caroline Louise Beaver Symonds on 17 March 1988) engaging in “ritual Satanic acts” as The People’s Voice article claimed.
The photos showed her acting in a play at Warwick University, where she was a drama student from 2006 to 2009. The theatre production was based on the writings of the self-styled mystic Aleister Crowley, who died in 1947.
Carrie Johnson was just acting in the play, and wasn’t actually engaging in Satanic acts… just like how Tom Cruise was only acting in the Mission Impossible movies, and isn’t actually an agent of the Impossible Missions Force (IMF).
Despite being described as a Satanist, Aleister Crowley stated that he did not consider himself one, and he did not worship Satan, because he doesn’t even believe the Christian worldview that Satan exists!
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News

Were King Charles and his close friends just exposed for raping hundreds of children in an explosive new testimony?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : King Charles + Close Friends Raped Hundreds Of Children!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims King Charles and his close friends was just exposed by an explosive new testimony of raping “hundreds of children”!
Here is an excerpt from the long, and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
King Charles and Close Friends Raped ‘Hundreds of Children’ – Explosive New Testimony
King Charles has been implicated in a massive decades-old pedophile ring at an “elite” British boarding school, according to revelations by a former student and whistleblower who has blown the lid off the horrific scale of the elite’s chosen vice.
According to an award-winning journalist who attended the school as a boy, children at the elite school are routinely beaten, harassed, raped, and driven to suicide.
Inevitably with pedophilia, all roads lead to Rome. In this case Rome’s latest incarnation: the British ‘royal’ family, who, in the words of Stevens, regularly visit Aldenham School to “feed” on children.
According to Stevens, who know goes by the name Phoenix Kaspian, the British royal family led by Charles are “unable to resist raping anything that smells like a child.”
Prince Charles was best friends with Britain’s most notorious pedovore Jimmy Savile, regularly hosting him at royal estates and using him as a sounding board for advice. Charles even asked Savile, who raped hundreds of children over the course of decades in the public eye, to write an etiquette guide to be followed the Queen.
King Charles’s great-uncle and mentor Lord Mountbatten was also accused of raping an 11-year-old boy at a notorious children’s home in the 1970s, adding weight to allegations that the British royal family practice child sacrifice and ritualistic pedophilia as one of their ancient rites and customs.
What are the chances of Charles and Andrew both being best friends with the most notorious international pedophiles of their generation? And what are the chances of King Charles’ mentor also being accused of raping young boys?
Truth : King Charles Was Not Exposed For Raping Children!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : King Charles Was Not Exposed For Raping Children
Let me start by simply pointing out that King Charles was not exposed in any testimony of raping hundreds of children with his close friends.
The People’s Voice referred to an article by Voice of Liberated Children, but even that article does not offer any actual evidence of King Charles raping any children, much less “hundreds of children” with his close friends.
In short – there simply is no evidence, or testimony, by any victim or witness to the raping of any child or children by King Charles and his close friends.
Fact #2 : One Aldenham Teacher Was Convicted Of Rape
There has been no evidence of child abuse at the Aldenham School, as far as I can tell. There was only one known case of rape involving an Aldenham school teacher called Alun Pickford.
Alun Pickford was convicted on 21 July 2023 of raping an 18 year-old girl in the early 1990s, while he was a junior teacher at the Aldenham School. While the girl was a student at that time, she does not appear to be studying at Aldenham.
According to the Hertfordshire Constabulary, Alun Pickford invited the teenage girl to stay overnight at his one-bedroom flat on the Aldenham school estate, offering to sleep on the sofa while she slept in his bed. However, he entered the bedroom that night and got into bed with her.
The teenage girl confided in a friend about the incident, but did not take the matter further until she reported the rape to police in 2020.
There is no evidence of other rapes at the Aldenham School, or that other teachers were involved. There is also no evidence of any child sex ring at Aldenham School, with hundreds of children getting raped.
Fact #3 : King Charles Was Not Involved With Aldenham
King Charles never went to the Aldenham School, and was never involved in the governance of the school.
In fact, he appears to have only met once with student ambassadors (Head Boy Subhan Iqbal and Head Girl Sarah Dean) from the Aldenham School in March 2016.
Therefore, it is odd that anyone should accuse him of raping children studying at Aldenham when he has zero involvement with that boarding school.
Fact #4 : Prince Andrew Screenshot Is Fake
The People’s Voice article and video used a cover photo which appears to feature a screenshot of a social media post by Prince Andrew. That is most certainly fake, because Prince Andrew no longer has any social media accounts.
He never had any official Facebook page, and deleted his official Twitter and YouTube accounts, and took his Instagram account private in January 2022, after Queen Elizabeth II stripped him of his military titles.
Needless to say, The People’s Voice provided no evidence Prince Andrew called King Charles’ recent cancer diagnosis “fake”, and said that ‘kids were killed”.
And it is odd that the screenshot was censored with only two statements visible. Why censor it if it’s genuine?
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Did Hong Kong independence activist Fion Ho Yik King commit suicide after fleeing to the United Kingdom?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : HK Activist Fion Ho Committed Suicide After Fleeing To UK!
CCP supporters, as well as the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), are sharing this message on WhatsApp, as a warning to Hong Kong residents who are planning to migrate to the United Kingdom.
The viral message claims that Hong Kong independence activist Fion Ho Yik King committed suicide after foolishly fleeing to the United Kingdom. It’s a very long message, so you should skip to the next section for the facts!
MISS FION HO YIK KING
You are not alone if you did not know Miss Ho Yik King because I didn’t know her either and neither did any of my friends. However her suicide in the United Kingdom on November 2022 suddenly pushed her to the headline and many were compelled to read about her and to determine what it was that drove her to end her life in the manner it did.
Miss Ho was an intelligent 27 year old HongKong girl who achieved a degree from a HongKong university in 2017 and a master degree from Switzerland in 2019. A bright future was before her had she stayed on as a normal citizen of HongKong.
But youth and wisdom are at times not packaged together and she fatally follows her rebellious nature to confront the Authorities in HongKong on human rights and the Extradition laws etc. Most of her university mates were doing it and so why not her.
Swept along by the reckless HongKong student movement and a constant stream of propaganda from the West on human rights, democracy and freedom she “marched” with the rebels and determinedly wrecked HongKong whilst demanding for independence. For months and years the Western media portrayed them as freedom fighters and as heroes whilst denouncing the Authorities and China as evil.
They destroyed malls, train stations, shops and banks. By engaging hit and run tactics they successfully disrupted airport activities and brought the city centre to a stand still.
With funds and supplies from the West they relentlessly pursued their destructive activities. They used knives, paved stones , arrows, Molotov bombs as weapons . They even killed an innocent citizen through their projectiles, stabbed one on the neck and engulfed another in flame.
The United Kingdom fueled the mind boggling chaos by offering British national overseas visas to the activists which encouraged them to march with extra vigor . But this was only a visa and one that is tailored for HongKong citizens who were bent on leaving HongKong albeit with lots of money in their suitcases.
But the students were blind to the British visa nuance and to the cost of living in the UK . They stayed on the course of destruction . On paper the visa offered them a choice of escape from HongKong but they did not read the fine prints if they ever existed. Remember the saying ” the devil is in the details”.
Finally the HongKong Authority had enough of the student movement and chaos and issued the New Security Law in 2022 .Those who had a reason and the means to leave HongKong did so by way of the British magical visa.
Miss Ho was one of them. She sold everything and left HongKong and took the flight into the safe arms of Britain in April 2022 . She envisaged starting life afresh , getting a good job, getting married and all of her dreams would be fulfilled because she would be a British subject after five years of stay and she would qualify for social benefits that come with citizenship.
No, that dream didn’t work out! Instead her real nightmare just started.
For whatever the reason she found difficulty in opening a bank account upon arrival. Her British visa did not qualify her to open one. She allegedly found out she needed a UK identification card number which she didn’t have.
Next, she found out that house rental in Britain was not only prohibitively expensive but that she was regarded by astute landlords with suspicion. Of course they would . Why would a British landlord accept a Chinese girl as tenant when her name was associated with a notoriously rebellious history. Eventually she lived in a modest flat in Richmond that came with a shared and unhygienic toilet.
Miss Ho was a picture of delusion. Britain was not meeting her minimum expectations. With limited funds she was allegedly often surviving on one meal a day . She needed help but found the visit to a psychologist was too exorbitant.
Finally , when living costs soared due to rising cost for food and heating, Miss Ho , with nowhere to turn to, decided to end her life in her rented flat. Days later her lifeless body was discovered along with a suicide note.
When alive she was regarded by the British as an unwanted immigrant and she lived a miserable life in Britain but when she died the coroner was full of praise for her. He said ” Fion is an excellent example of the high calibre of person who is so welcome in England…”
This is the reality. Fiona’s destiny was potentially one of distinction until she joined the band of delusional activists of HongKong who believed in western propaganda only to find out the dream was nothing but a damning mirage.
Hopefully there is a lesson here for the Taiwanese, the Philippines, the Japanese and the South Koreans. If the lesson is learnt then Fion’s life story and death will not have gone to waste.
This appears to be yet another example of PROPAGANDA created or promoted by CCP supporters and/or the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Her Name Was Fion Ho Yee-King
First, let me just point out that a Chinese lady did indeed commit suicide in the UK, after migrating from Hong Kong. However, her name was not Ho Yik King or Ho Yit King or Ho Yi King.
She was known as Fion Ho in the UK, and her name in Hong Kong was Ho Yee-King.
This is important, because if you search for “Ho Yik King” or “Ho Yit King” or “Ho Yi King”, you will get links to the same propaganda story on multiple Chinese websites and social media. But if you search for “Ho Yee King” or “Fion Ho”, you will get links to her true story.
Fact #2 : Fion Ho Was Not A Hong Kong Independence Activist
Fion Ho Yee King was a 27 year-old Hong Kong native who migrated to the United Kingdom in April 2022, but sadly committed suicide in November 2022.
However, she was not a Hong Kong independence activist. You won’t find her in any list of activists associated with the Hong Kong protests or independence movement.
In fact, Fion Ho was working in Jordan as an Assessment Officer from September 2019 to October 2020 – during the time of the Hong Kong protests.
Fact #3 : Fion Ho Did Not Flee Hong Kong
Fion Ho certainly did not flee Hong Kong to escape its National Security law. After all, she was in Jordan when the controversial National Security Law was passed on 30 June 2020.
If she wanted to avoid the National Security Law, she would have just remained in Jordan, or migrated to the UK. Instead, she returned to Hong Long in December 2020 – after the National Security Law was in effect!
As far as I can tell – Fion Ho Yee King did not have trouble getting a job in the UK. In fact, she appears to have migrated to the United Kingdom for a job.
She was working as an International and Relief Service Officer for the Hong Kong Red Cross from December 2020 to March 2022, before migrating to the UK the next month to work for a charity promoting education for women and girls internationally.
Fact #5 : Fion Ho Had Financial Trouble
According to her brother, Tommy Ho Yiu Hang, Fion suffered from stress and mental health issues due to the cost of living crisis in the UK.
Fion Ho had been paying £900 a month to rent a room in a South West London flat, which she described as “unhygienic”. She was worried about her income, and ability to make ends meet.
She mentioned to me on September 7, 2022 that since July, she was worried about her income and was not able to sustain her life in the UK and felt depressed.
The hygiene condition of the bathroom made her feel uncomfortable…This made her pressure build up and fall to a loss of strength to work from home and live at home. And she seldom left her room.
She was scared she will be laid off from work due to stress and face a loss of income due to her poor working performance.
After her death, Tommy found her diary, in which she detailed the days when she would eat only lunch or dinner to save money.
Due to insufficient income, I think she had begun to limit her meals per day.
Fion Ho Yee King was not found several days after her suicide. When she failed to turn up for work and did not answer her phone, her brother Tommy asked one of the other three tenants of her flat to check on her.
That was when Fion was discovered to have taken her own life. She was pronounced dead on 3 November 2022, and Coroner Dr. Anton van Dellen listed her death as a suicide on 24 January 2023.
Fact #7 : UK ID Not Required To Open Bank Account
There is no evidence that Fion Ho Yee King faced any issue opening a bank account. UK banks do not require a UK ID to open an account. Common forms of identification that they accept include:
Passport
UK birth certificate (for applicants under 18 years old)
EU / EEA National Identity Card
UK photo card driving licence
UK Residence Permit
Fact #8 : BNO Passport Was Established In 1987
The British National (Overseas) passport is not available only to Hong Kong independence activists. In fact, the BNO passport was created in 1987 – after the enactment of the Hong Kong Act 1985, conferring British Overseas Territory citizen status for Hong Kong permanent residents (and their children) who register for the status by 30 June 1997.
The BNO visa does not confer you British citizenship. However, since 31 January 2021, BNO visa recipients can stay for up to 5 years, and extend that as many times as they wish. They can also apply to live in the UK permanently after living there for at least 5 years.
This is just ultimately just another example of CCP propaganda, created / spread by CCP supporters and the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛). Here are other examples:

Did Hong Kong independence activist Ho Yi King commit suicide because of her terrible living conditions in the United Kingdom?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Hong Kong Independence Activist Committed Suicide In UK!
CCP supporters, as well as the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), are sharing and promoting a video, which claims that a Hong Kong independence activist called Ho Yi King just committed suicide because of her terrible living conditions in the United Kingdom!
The Exciled & Educated Hong Kees Running Dogs For Regimes Eville Satanic Demonic UK & USA Were Abandoned By The Regimes & Died in Misery….Lessons For All Oriental Chinese To Learn…
Here is a transcript of what was said, or posted, in the viral video, which continues to be available on YouTube. It’s very long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
It is a truly a poignant and regrettable story. This is a real life account [of] Hong Kong independence activist Ho Yi King.
After selling her domestic properties, joined the United Kingdom. However to her surprise, she couldn’t even afford rent after arriving in the UK, surviving on just one meal a day. Under immense pressure, she chose to leave a suicide note.
Hoyitking’s life was quite remarkable. In the first half of her life, she freely roamed the ocean of knowledge under the Protection of the Chinese government, witnessing the world’s most glamorous side.
However, in the latter half of her life, she became a Hong Kong independent activist under the encouragement of the UK government, engaging in a series of treasonous acts before entering university.
Hoyitking was always very well behaved during her studies at the University of Hong Kong. She even obtained a bachelor’s degree in Asian and International Studies. Furthermore, fuelled by her passion for researching international relations, she pursued further studies at the University of Geneva.
After graduating, earning a Master’s degree, it’s a tragic turn for someone with such an outstanding background to veer to the wrong path.
In 2018, Hong Kong experienced internal turmoil, primarily due to the proposed amendment of the Extradition Law, which posed a threat to the interests of radical individuals in Hong Kong. To oppose the amendment, these radicals organized continuous protests on the streets with no response from the Hong Kong government.
The protestors escalated their actions, resorting to vandalism and even attacks on ordinary citizens. During this period, under the influence of her peers, Ho Yi King was completely indoctrinated and actively joined the anti-extradition movement.
Perhaps driven by her inherently competitive nature, she became a prominent figure among these radicals utilising online platforms to express radical views, and participating in confrontations with the Hong Kong government.
The chaos caused by these radicals persisted until the enactment of the National Security Law in Hong Kong last year when authorities decided to take strict measures against the radicals. They finally ceased their disruptive activities.
At this point, Ho Yit King realised she was widely condemned in Hong Kong. Feeling there was no place for her to stand and nothing worth staying for, to seek an alternative and temporarily escaping scrutiny, she decided to go to the United Kingdom, a place she had long admired.
After the establishment of the National Security Law in Hong Kong in 2022, the end seemed near for Hong Kong independence activists. As an elite member, Ho Yit King had received advanced notice and managed to escape, arriving in the UK with joy.
Holding the British National Overseas (BNO) passport issued by the UK government, she expected favourable treatment, based on her background in China. She believed that by spending five years in the UK, she could become a British citizen and leave behind the troubles of Hong Kong.
However, Hoyitking’s journey to the UK turned out to be a nightmare. The BNO passport given to Hong Kong independence activists was merely a means for the UK government to profit. By issuing BNO passports to these activists, the UK government encouraged sentiment of rebellion, making them believe they had an escape route, even if things went awry in Hong Kong.
The UK government, by officially issuing 500,000 BNO passports, aimed to capitalise on this situation, and generated a staggering 300 million. From the beginning, these Hong Kong independence activists causing social unrest were mere pawns in the hands of of the UK government for financial gain.
Certainly, Ho Yikking was not surprised, but unfortunately at that time, she didn’t understand this truth. She thought she had contributed to the British government and with the BNO passport, she could find a decent job in the UK. She envisioned a happy life for the rest of her days.
However, upon arriving in the UK, she realised it was just a fantasy. To successfully rent a house in the UK, one needed a UK bank account which required a UK ID. When Ho Yik King tried to open a bank account with her BNO passport, she was informed by the bank staff that her passport wouldn’t be recognised, and without a bank account, she couldn’t rent a house.
Feeling helpless, Ho Yik King had to find a suitable job quickly to earn money. She believed that with her high education, she could secure a well-paying and respectable job. However, things didn’t go as planned.
Ho Yik King not only lacked a formal UK ID, but was also someone who betrayed her own country. No country would welcome a traitor, so her hopes of finding a good job were shattered. Her higher education received in China proved to be of no use in the UK. Eventually, after numerous setbacks, Ho Yit King finally found a job at a charity organisation.
She initially thought her life would gradually improve after finding a job, but events that followed shattered all her hopes. What exactly happened after arriving in the UK. The high cost of renter utility bills consumed her entire monthly salary. To save her money, Ho Yit King had to survive on just one meal a day.
As winter approached, the European energy crisis led to a significant increase in heating costs, making her situation even more challenging. However, the most fatal blow was the attitude of the British people towards her. Without a formal UK ID and her Chinese appearance, she felt like garbage discarded beside a trash bin, met with cold stares from everyone in the UK.
The combination of the British people’s attitudes, the burden of life and the inability to make ends meet left Ho Yit King breathless. This was starkly different from her expectations when she first came to the UK. She lost hope in living but didn’t want to die. In an attempt to change her circumstances, Ho Yit King started seeking help from a psychologist, actively addressing the mental and life pressures she faced.
However, due to the exorbitant fees of the psychologist, she couldn’t afford the sessions. After enduring seven months in the UK, Ho Yit King chose to end her life in her rented accommodation. About a week later, when neighbours noticed a strange smell and investigated, they discovered Ho Yit King’s lifeless body.
Before her death, the British government did not provide humanitarian assistance to Ho Yit King. It was only after her death, they offered assistance, helping with the handling of her body, and even stating that she was a good person. One cannot help but find this statement somewhat ironic, considering that someone who betrayed their country cannot be deemed a good person.
Ho Yit King who strayed from the right path must have faced moments of regret during her final illness. As a highly-talented graduate of the University of Hong Kong, she had excellent prospects whether she chose to stay in Hong Kong or returned to the mainland for work. With her abilities, she could have had a bright future, even becoming a prominent figure. However, due to one wrong decision, she forfeited her promising future.
Truth : Ho Yit King Was Not Hong Kong Independence Activist!
This appears to be yet another example of PROPAGANDA created or promoted by CCP supporters and/or the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Her Name Was Fion Ho Yee-King
First, let me just point out that a Chinese lady did indeed commit suicide in the UK, after migrating from Hong Kong. However, her name was not Ho Yi King or Ho Yit King or Ho Yik King.
She was known as Fion Ho in the UK, and her name in Hong Kong was Ho Yee-King.
This is important, because if you search for “Ho Yit King” or “Ho Yi King” or “Ho Yik King”, you will get links to the same propaganda story on multiple Chinese websites and social media. But if you search for “Ho Yee King” or “Fion Ho”, you will get links to her true story.
Fact #2 : Fion Ho Was Not A Hong Kong Independence Activist
Fion Ho Yee King was a 27 year-old Hong Kong native who migrated to the United Kingdom in April 2022, but sadly committed suicide in November 2022.
However, she was not a Hong Kong independence activist. If you look up the list of activists associated with the Hong Kong protests or independence movement, you won’t find any reference to her name.
In fact, Fion Ho was working in Jordan as an Assessment Officer, from September 2019 to October 2020 – during the time of the Hong Kong protests.
Fact #3 : Fion Ho Did Not Flee Hong Kong
Fion Ho certainly did not flee Hong Kong to escape the National Security law. After all, she was in Jordan when the controversial National Security Law was passed on 30 June 2020.
If she wanted to avoid the National Security Law, she would have just remained in Jordan, or migrated to the UK. Instead, she returned to Hong Long in December 2020 – after the National Security Law was in effect!
Fact #4 : Fion Ho Had A Job In The UK
As far as I can tell – Fion Ho Yee King did not have trouble getting a job in the UK. In fact, she appears to have migrated to the United Kingdom for a job.
She was working as an International and Relief Service Officer for the Hong Kong Red Cross from December 2020 to March 2022, before migrating to the UK the next month to work for a charity promoting education for women and girls internationally.
According to her brother, Tommy Ho Yiu Hang, Fion suffered from stress and mental health issues due to the cost of living crisis in the UK.
Fion Ho had been paying £900 a month to rent a room in a South West London flat, which she described as “unhygienic”. She was worried about her income, and ability to make ends meet.
She mentioned to me on September 7, 2022 that since July, she was worried about her income and was not able to sustain her life in the UK and felt depressed.
The hygiene condition of the bathroom made her feel uncomfortable…This made her pressure build up and fall to a loss of strength to work from home and live at home. And she seldom left her room.
She was scared she will be laid off from work due to stress and face a loss of income due to her poor working performance.
After her death, Tommy found her diary, in which she detailed the days when she would eat only lunch or dinner to save money.
Due to insufficient income, I think she had begun to limit her meals per day.
Fact #6 : Fion Ho Was Found By Fellow Tenant
Fion Ho Yee King was not found by neighbours after they noticed a strange smell. When she failed to turn up for work and did not answer her phone, her brother Tommy asked one of the other three tenants of her flat to check on her.
That was when Fion was discovered to have taken her own life. She was pronounced dead on 3 November 2022, and Coroner Dr. Anton van Dellen listed her death as a suicide on 24 January 2023.
Fact #7 : NHS Offers Free Counselling For Depression
The video claimed or suggested that Ho Yit King / Ho Yee King was started seeing a psychologist, but stopped because she could not afford the exorbitant fees.
The truth is – there is no evidence Fion Ho ever saw a psychologist, psychiatrist, or counsellor. She was booked for a psychological counselling session for depression, but she never made it to the session – she committed suicide four days before the appointment.
A private counselling session with a private psychologist / psychiatrist would be expensive, but the NHS offers free counselling for depression.
Fact #8 : UK ID Not Required To Open Bank Account
There is no evidence that Fion Ho Yee King faced any issue opening a bank account.
UK banks do not require a UK ID to open an account. Common forms of identification that they accept include:
Passport
UK birth certificate (for applicants under 18 years old)
EU / EEA National Identity Card
UK photo card driving licence
UK Residence Permit
Fact #9 : BNO Passport Was Established In 1987
The British National (Overseas) passport is not available only to Hong Kong independence activists. In fact, the BNO passport was created in 1987 – after the enactment of the Hong Kong Act 1985, conferring British Overseas Territory citizen status for Hong Kong permanent residents (and their children) who register for the status by 30 June 1997.

Did Irish singer Sinead O’Connor die suddenly from vaccine SADS, suicide, or a drug overdose?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Updated @ 2024-01-09 : Added Sinead O’Connor’s cause of death.
Updated @ 2023-08-12 : Added new details about Sinead O’Connor’s autopsy and mental health.
Updated @ 2023-08-08 : Added new details about her funeral, and other details.
Updated @ 2023-07-31 : Added new details about her death, and upcoming autopsy. Originally posted @ 2023-07-27
Claim : Sinead O’Connor Died Suddenly From Vaccine / Suicide!
Right after news broke that Sinead O’Connor died unexpectedly at just 56 years old, some people immediately claimed that the Grammy-winning Irish singer died suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS), while others suggested that she committed suicide.
Carl E. Miller : Another fully vaccinated celebrity SINEAD O’CONNOR does [dies] at 56 years old. Of course the vaccine may not be the cause, but it may be the cause too. At least worth noting that she took several doses of an experimental vaccine. Seems reasonable to point that out.
Driver 47 : Fully jabbed up muslim convert and vaccine promoter Sinead O’connor Died Suddenly today aged 56. Oh dear…
“The Irish singer, who goes by the name Shuhada Sadaqat, took to Twitter to announce that she had received her second Covid-19 jab”.
Solar Melt : At least double vaxxed, Irish music legend, Sinead O’Connor dead at 56. I guess nothing compares to the vax. #Veterans #Covid #MAGA #Jab #Vax #WEF #NWO $MRNA $PFE #mRNA #VaccineSideEffects #VaccineDeath #VaccineGenocide #DiedSuddenly #DiedSuddenlyVaccine
Truth : Sinead O’Connor Did Not Die From Vaccine Or Suicide!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…
Fact #1 : Sinead O’Connor Was Found Dead In London
Born Sinéad Marie Bernadette O’Connor on December 8, 1966, Sinead O’Connor was an Irish singer and musician who released ten studio albums, and won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance after receiving several nominations.
On Wednesday, 26 July 2023, her family announced that Sinead O’Connor died at the age of 56, in a statement to The Irish Times:
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad.
Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.
Later, it was revealed that Sinead O’Connor was found dead in her flat in South London. She only recently returned to London after a long absence.
Sinead O’Connor (Shuhada’ Sadaqat) was laid to rest in Bray, in County Wicklow, Ireland, on Tuesday, 8 August 2023. A private funeral service followed a public procession past her family home, which was attended by Irish President Michael D. Higgins and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, as well as Bob Geldof and Bono.
Fact #2 : Her Cause Of Death Was Natural
Sinead O’Connor’s family did not announce her cause of death, because an autopsy had been ordered to look into her death.
The coroner later revealed that it did not know when Sinead O’Connor actually died, and an autopsy had been ordered to determine her cause of death. However, the Metropolitan Police said at that time that it was not treating her death as suspicious.
On 3 August 2023, Sinead O’Connor’s remains were released to her family, after the autopsy was completed. However, the autopsy report would not be completed “for some weeks”, according to a statement issued by John Thompson, the clerk of the London Inner South district for Southwark Coroners Court. It also said that the conclusion will be publicly disclosed if an inquest is opened into her death.
It was many weeks later – on Tuesday, 9 January 2024, when the Southwark Coroner’s Court in London issued a brief statement, ruling Sinead O’Connor’s cause of death as “natural”:
This is to confirm that Ms O’Connor died of natural causes. The coroner has therefore ceased their involvement in her death.
The coroner did not mention her official cause of death, but a ruling that she died of natural causes ruled out dying from unnatural causes like a suicide, or a vaccine side effect.
Fact #3 : Sinead O’Connor Had Mental Health Problems
Sinead O’Connor had been open about her mental health struggles for many years now, even sharing them publicly on social media.
On 4 October 2007, she revealed on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder four years earlier.
In 2012, she cancelled a tour after suffering from a “very serious breakdown”. Her mental health also suffered after she underwent a radical hysterectomy in 2015.
In 2021, she told The Guardian that she was also diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and borderline personality disorder, and had been in and out of the hospital for mental health treatment. She even called the St. Patrick’s psychiatric hospital in Dublin her second home:
Thank God I spent a lot of the last six years there, because otherwise I wouldn’t be alive.
I’m 10% bipolar, apparently, 40% complex traumatic stress and the rest is borderline personality disorder.
In January 2022, she was devastated by news that her 17 year-old son, Shane, committed suicide after escaping from a hospital in Bray while on suicide watch.
Bob Geldof later said that Sinead O’Connor had sent him text messages in the weeks before her death, which were “laden with desperation, despair and sorrow“, while others were “ecstatically happy“, suggesting that she was suffering from bipolar mood swings.
There’s no other option, as all of you know, than to just keep on. Many, many times Sinead was full of a terrible loneliness and a terrible despair.
She was a very good friend of mine. We were talking right up to a couple of weeks ago. Some of her texts were laden with desperation and despair and sorrow and some were ecstatically happy. She was like that.
However, we now know that Sinead O’Connor did not commit suicide.
Fact #4 : Sinead O’Connor Attempted Suicide Several Times
Sinead O’Connor battled thoughts of suicide for many years, and even attempted suicide several times. This September 2011 tweet even resulted in a visit by the police:
I want to go to heaven SO bad. Have for [years] … Can’t manage any more. Badly wish [could] die without it ruining kids’ lives.
She would later tell The Guardian that she attempted suicide several times in the past:
In the past I have made several suicide attempts. I would take the pills and say to God: ‘OK it’s up to you, you decide’ and then of course I would wake up three or four days later.
She also became suicidal after her hysterectomy in 2015, telling The Guardian:
Nobody had explained to me or my family that she’s going to be a crazy bitch because we took her ovaries for no reason. So the children were terrified of me. Angry. Raging. I was furious. I was completely gone. I was suicidal.
A week after her son’s death in January 2022, Sinead was briefly admitted to the hospital after posting several tweets that she had “decided to follow” his path.
Just weeks before her death, Sinead O’Connor tweeted about the pain of losing her son, saying that she was “living as undead night creature” since he died:
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#lostmy17yrOldSonToSuicidein2022. Been living as undead night creature since. . He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul. We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the bardo without him.
Of course, now that the coroner has ruled Sinead O’Connor died of natural causes, we know for sure she did not commit suicide as some have speculated.
Sinead O’Connor had a long history of drug use. She smoked cannabis for some 34 years, and only went to a rehabilitation centre in 2016 to treat her addiction.
In 2021, Sinead O’Connor recounted how she and her fourth husband, Barry Herridge, ended up scoring some crack cocaine on their wedding night in Las Vegas.
In November 2020, she entered a drug rehabilitation facility for a year to seek treatment for “trauma and addiction” to a different drug:
I had a very traumatic six years and this year was the end of it but now recovery starts.
This year I lost someone beloved and has affected me so badly that I became briefly addicted to a drug other than weed.
While it is plausible given her history of drug use, this does not mean that Sinead O’Connor died suddenly from a drug overdose.
Of course, now that the coroner has ruled Sinead O’Connor died of natural causes, we know for sure she did not die from a drug overdose, as some have speculated.
Fact #6 : Sinead O’Connor Was Fully-Vaccinated Against COVID-19
In May 2021, Sinead O’Connor tweeted a (now deleted) photo with her son, Shane, and shared that they both received their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine:
2nd vaccine today, my lovely 17 yr old son coming with me 🙂 Behold Nevi’im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor.
However, that does not mean she died from any COVID-19 vaccine side effect. After all, she received that dose more than two years earlier! The coroner also determined that Sinead O’Connor died of natural causes.
Fact #7 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Sinead O’Connor cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not years later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.
Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITTdevelop within days or weeks.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.
Fact #8 : This Is Just Celebrity Fake News
Ultimately, this is just another example of fake news created about celebrities, like these other recent examples:
Will these fake news creators apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity fake news…

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS reated and propagated by people to generate income from page views and YouTube advertising, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported His Death
These YouTube videos have been circulating for weeks and months, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media has reported Barry Gibb’s death.
Barry Gibb is more than just an international celebrity, he is a living legend. Even if he only tripped in public and grazed his shin, it would have been breathlessly reported on by the celebrity blogs, if not the mainstream media.
No legitimate media outlet reported that Barry Gibb was sick or hospitalised, never mind mysteriously dying suddenly. That’s because it never happened!
Fact #2 : Barry Gibb Is Still Alive + Well!
Sir Barry Alan Crompton Gibb (born 1 September 1946) is very much alive, as of Friday, 29 December 2023. But of course, you want “proof of life”, don’t you?
Well, on 22 December 2023, CBS Mornings posted a video clip of Barry Gibb telling their reporter, Anthony Mason, about his legacy, and how fame impacted his relationship with his brothers.
As you can see, Barry Gibb is not only alive, he looks to be very healthy and in good shape!
.@GibbBarry has one of the most enduring catalogs in the history of popular music — and now, he is a @kencen honoree.
Barry Gibb earlier posted a photo of himself at his 2017 concert on June 24, 2023, after thanking the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for selecting to honour him for lifetime artistic achievements this coming Sunday, December 3, 2023.
I am beyond honored to share I am going to be recognized as part of the 46th class of Honorees at the Kennedy Center. #KCHonors
Meet all the Honorees being celebrated in December, and stay tuned for the broadcast on @CBS ➡ tkc.co/Honors The Kennedy Center CBS
I analysed the photos used in these videos, and traced the origin of three examples used in many of these videos.
This photo that purportedly shows Barry Gibb’s funeral procession, was edited from a real photo of the funeral procession for Jade Goody – an English television personality who died of cancer on 22 March 2009.
The photo was taken by Chris Rayburn for the Associated Press on Saturday, 4 April 2009, as her funeral procession passed through Loughton, on the way to St. John the Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, England.
If you look carefully at the original photo on the right, you can see pink balloons spelling out “Jade From Bermondsey“. Jade Goody was born on 5 June 1981 in Bermondsey, London.
The fake news creator cropped that out, and added a super-large photo of Barry Gibb to the top of the hearse, to trick you.
The photo which is being used to show Barry Gibb’s funeral is actually a screenshot from the Women and Death episode from the TV drama, Desperate Housewives, which aired on Sunday, March 18, 2012.
The “photo” shows Susan Mayer (played by Teri Hatcher) crying over the coffin of Mike Delfino (played by James Denton).
It certainly does NOT show Teri Hatcher crying over Barry Gibb’s funeral, that’s for sure!
This photo does not show the Barry Gibb’s coffin being carried during his funeral. It was actually edited from a photo of the John Gotti funeral, taken outside the Papavero Funeral Home by Chet Gordon of TopFoto.
Mob boss John Gotti was laid to rest on June 15, 2002, after dying of cancer in a federal prison hospital in Missouri. Obviously, that was not Barry Gibbs’s funeral because he was very much still alive in 2002!
The fake news creator just added a large photo of Barry Gibb to trick you into thinking that it was his funeral.
Fact #4 : Barry Gibb Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too
This Barry Gibb death hoax is, ironically, also being driven by a fake fact check article by the MediaMass Project, which keeps “updating” the dates in their fake fact check article:
News of singer Barry Gibb’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the December 2023 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, Bee Gees singer is alive and well.
Rumors of the singer’s alleged demise gained traction on Wednesday after a ‘R.I.P. Barry Gibb’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the British singer’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday (December 27, 2023), our beloved singer Barry Gibb passed away. Barry Gibb was born on September 1, 1946 in Douglas. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”
Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 77-year-old singer, musician and producer was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.
Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major British network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a singer of Barry Gibb’s stature would be major news across networks.
Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Barry Gibb Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.
He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet.
Hidden in the description page for the MediaMass Project is a disclaimer that they are a “satire” website. That’s the usual “cover” for websites peddling fake news.
Regardless of their reasons, anything posted by MediaMass.net must be considered as fake news, until proven otherwise.

Did President Joe Biden say that America “lost” the Revolutionary War, because it “didn’t have enough airports”?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Biden Said America Lost Revolutionary War Over Lack Of Airports!
On 21 December 2023, Joe Rogan claimed on his show that President Joe Biden said that America “lost” the Revolutionary War because “we didn’t have enough airports”!
During that episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, he argued that recent statements by Joe Biden disqualified him from running for re-election in the 2024 Presidential elections. He claimed that Biden voters were regretting their choice in 2020 to elect Biden, saying “What did I do? What did I choose?“.
His guest, mixed martial arts fighter Bo Nickal then chimed in, “You just can’t listen to an interview [with Biden] where he’s saying some of the things he’s saying, it makes no sense at all.”
That was when Joe Rogan claimed that Joe Biden recently said that America “lost” the Revolutionary War because “we didn’t have enough airports”.
Joe Rogan mimicking Joe Biden : One of the reasons why we lost the Revolutionary War… one of the problems in the Revolutionary War was they didn’t have enough airports.
Bo Nickal appeared to agree with him, laughing and saying, “Yeah, what the hell? It’s crazy.”
Joe Rogan then continued, “If you had any other job, and you were talking like that, they would go, ‘Hey, you’re done.’”
Joe Biden Did Not Say America Lost Revolutionary War Over Lack Of Airports!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created or promoted by American conservatives of the MAGA persuasion, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : America Did Won The Revolutionary War
First, let me just point out America did not lose the Revolutionary War against the British. If that happened, there wouldn’t be any United States of America today. It would still be part of the United Kingdom.
The Revolutionary War is also called the American War of Independence for a very good reason – the Americans won their independence from the British.
Interestingly, the clip that was shared on The Joe Rogan Experience did not show Joe Biden saying that America lost the Revolutionary War. Why would Joe Rogan claim that Biden said that America lost its War of Independence against the British. Perhaps he will “clarify” that in a future episode?
Fact #2 : Joe Biden Was Mocking Donald Trump
The video clip that was featured in The Joe Rogan Experience does not show Joe Biden saying that America “lost” the Revolutionary War, or that the American colonies “did not have enough airports”.
The truth is – the video clip shows President Joe Biden mocking former President Donald Trump, who was the one who actually made those claims about airports during the American Revolutionary War!
Fact #3 : Donald Trump Made Airports In Revolutionary War Comments
On 5 July 2019, Donald Trump was giving a speech commemorating the War of Independence, when he claimed that the American Continental Army flew planes and seized airports (from the British) – more than 120 years before airplanes were invented and airports existed!
Donald Trump : The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown.
Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts. It took over the airports.
For the record – the Wright brothers made their historic first flight only on December 17, 1903… and the oldest airport in the United States – College Park Airport was established in 1907 to train military pilots. Both events took place more than 120 years after the American Revolutionary War ended on September 3, 1783.
I should also point out that the viral video clip was edited to make it look like he was saying that the biggest problem America faced in the Revolutionary War was a lack of airports.
The video is also not recent, as Joe Rogan and other people have claimed. Instead, it was taken from his speech mocking Donald Trump during a 2020 campaign rally in Tampa, Florida.
Donald Trump when he thinks of climate change, he says hoax. Well, guess what? Speaking of hoaxes, remember what he said about these increasing violent hurricanes and the frequency? He actually said, maybe we should detonate a nuclear bomb over the Atlantic.
By the way, the same stable genius who said the biggest problem we had in the Revolutionary War is we didn’t have enough airports.
Embarrassingly, Joe Rogan got corrected on-air by his own producer, Jamie Vernon, who belatedly stepped in with a fact check after airing the viral edited Joe Biden video clip.
Jamie Vernon : Just for the record…
Joe Rogan : Is that fake?
Jamie Vernon : It’s not fake, but he was referencing Trump saying that. Here is what Trump was saying that in 2019.
Joe Rogan : Ohhh….
Jamie Vernon then played a video clip of Donald Trump claiming that American Continental Army “manned the air” and “took over the airports“.
But instead of admitting he and his guest fucked up on-air, Joe Rogan only laughed and said, “Oh, so he [Donald Trump] fucked up….”
Nickal then somehow suggested that it was the fault of the media, saying “That’s the thing about media these days. You gotta look into it.”

Did Tom Lockyer collapse during a Premiere League match from cardiac arrest caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Tom Lockyer Collapsed From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!
Right after news broke that Tom Lockyer collapsed suddenly during a Premiere League match, some people immediately suggested that the Welsh professional footballer suffered a cardiac arrest caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!
Neil McEvoy : Dreadful. Investigation of collapses and the covid jab must begin.
Tom Lockyer: Luton-Bournemouth game abandoned after Lockyer collapses on pitch –
The All American : Tom Lockyer, suffered a massive heart attack at the young age of 29. Is this normal to you? While millions who have received the Covid vaccine have died, there are billions who are currently suffering from its deadly side effects. #vaccineInjuries #vaccineDeaths
Martha : Meet Tom Lockyer, a victim of COVID-19 vaccine mandate
In May, he collapsed on the pitch. He suffered an atrial fibrillation. He later had heart surgery
Today, another cardiac arrest on the pitch
In his 17 year career, he had no history of heart problems
Tom Lockyer celebrating Luton Town’s Championship play-off final win from his hospital bed in May 2023, after collapsing earlier
Truth : Tom Lockyer Did Not Collapse From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists…
Fact #1 : Tom Lockyer Suffered A Cardiac Arrest
Tom Lockyer (born Thomas Alun Lockyer on 3 December 1994) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays for Luton Town – a Premiere League soccer club.
On 16 December 2023, Luton Town was playing against Bournemouth, when Tom Lockyer suddenly collapsed on the pitch during the second half, after suffering a cardiac arrest.
He was responsive, but was stretchered off the field, and taken to a hospital. Luton Town later announced that Lockyer was “stable and currently undergoing further tests“.
Fact #2 : Tom Lockyer Was Discharged With An ICD
On Thursday, 21 December 2023, Luton Town announced that Tom Lockyer was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday, after getting an ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) fitted.
We are thankful to report that our captain Tom Lockyer has now begun a period of rehabilitation from the comfort of his own home after he was discharged from hospital on Wednesday.
This encouraging news follows a successful procedure that took place on Tuesday whereby Tom had an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) device fitted to prevent a repeat of Saturday’s incident.
The clinical advice Tom and the Club has taken since the Championship play-off final has been conducted by the most renowned cardiologists, who have been involved at every step, along with a team of supporting multi-disciplinary consultants.
Fact #3 : Tom Lockyer Collapsed In May For Different Reason
This isn’t the first time Tom Lockyer collapsed while playing on the pitch. On 27 May 2023, he collapsed just 12 minutes into a game against Coventry City.
He was treated by the medical team, and was conscious when he was taken off the field, and taken to a hospital for further tests. Eventually, he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, and underwent ablative surgery.
His most recent collapse in December 2023 though has nothing to do with his prior heart condition. This was confirmed by his club, Luton Town:
We can now confirm that the tests taken this week had revealed that the issue Tom experienced on Saturday was different to the atrial fibrillation he suffered in May.
Needless to say – no COVID-19 vaccine is known to cause atrial fibrillation, or any other cardiac electrical conditions.
Fact #4 : Athletes Are At Higher Risk Of Cardiac Arrest
While student athletes appears to be the epitome of healthy young people, many are at risk of dying from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
In fact, studies show that sudden cardiac arrest is the leading medical cause of death in young athletes. On average, about 2,000 young people in the United States (less than 24 years old) die from sudden cardiac arrest every year, and many do not have previously-known heart disease.
That’s why many states in the United States enacted laws requiring automated external defibrillators (AED) to be made available in health clubs, gyms, schools, and other public places.
Until and unless he (or his family) reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Tom Lockyer was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.
Fact #6 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Tom Lockyer was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses more than two years ago!
He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.
Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did top doctors just warn the UK Parliament about the deadly COVID-19 vaccines, asking for them to be removed from market?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Top Docs Just Warned UK Parliament About Deadly Vaccines!
People are sharing an article by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), claiming / suggesting that it shows top doctors warning the UK Parliament about the deadly COVID-19 vaccines, and asking for them to be removed from market!
Here is an excerpt from the article (archive), which is really long. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Top Doctors Plead For Deadly Covid Jabs To Be Removed From Market In Address To UK Parliament
In video messages played before for the British Parliament on Monday, some of the world’s top doctors issued warnings to the politicians about the deadly Covid-19 jabs that have been pushed on the public.
British MP Andrew Bridgen hosted the event to share with fellow poiticians information that has been censored or withheld by the Big Tech and mainstream media gatekeepers.
Texas cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough delivered a video message to the UK politicians, stating the Covid shots have created alarming increases in excess mortality in America and the UK.
The doctor even suggested data is showing the jabs actually killed more people than the engineered Chinese Covid-19 virus.
“The vaccine is worse than the infection itself in terms of injuring the population,” he asserted, calling on the UK politicians to “do the right thing” by removing the shots from the market and to “do an investigation” into the mRNA “vaccines.”
Truth : Most Of UK Parliament Declined To Join Their Event!
This appears to be yet another MISLEADING article by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : It Was Not UK Parliament Event
Let me start by pointing out that the session COVID-19 vaccines was a small, private event hosted by British MP Andrew Bridgen in a rented room of the Portcullis House.
To raise funds, the U.K. Parliament has allowed companies and individuals to rent certain rooms for private events since January 2014. The session on COVID-19 vaccines was held in the Wilson Room, in Portcullis House, which is part of the Parliamentary estate, but not part of the Houses of Parliament.
On top of that, the meeting / event/ address / debate was short – lasting just 2 hours, from 5 PM to 7 PM.
To be clear – it was not an official UK Parliament event. It was just a private event held in a small, rented room in Portcullis House. On top of that, they were not even allowed to livestream or record the event!
In short – the speakers at that event were only “testifying” to the few attendees in the room, not to the U.K. Parliament… unless it was by telepathy?
Fact #2 : It Was A Small Private Event
Even though the private COVID-19 vaccines event was hosted by UK MP Andrew Bridgen, it appeared that he had trouble getting his fellow MPs to attend. In fact, Andrew Bridgen had to ask the public to write to their MPs to ask (beg?) them to attend that meeting!
The choice of The Wilson Room also suggests that Andrew Bridgen did not expect many to attend. The Wilson Room appears to be a small meeting room, with a maximum capacity of 12-16 delegates, with sitting room for another 30 or so people.
Although Steve Kirsch claimed that some 12-16 MPs, other people said that the MPs only popped in for a few minutes. For example, MP Desmond Swayne left “disapprovingly” after the first 5 minutes, and just two minutes into David Martin’s presentation.
For context, the United Kingdom has 650 Members of Parliament in the House of Commons, and 784 members in the House of Lords.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, for one, not only declined to attend, he pointed out (archive) that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.
Firstly, whilst I am unable to attend the debate, the arrival of safe, effective and medically approved vaccines brought about a dramatic shift in our fight against Covid-19, not only in the UK but across the globe. I am incredibly proud of the strong role the UK played internationally in producing a viable vaccine, and also the incredible speed at which the NHS rolled it out domestically.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) followed rigorous procedures to ensure the vaccines met the necessary high standards in safety and efficacy.
The MHRA is one of the most respected regulators in the world and the World Health Organisation not only backed its approach, but also commended its work.
As I have alluded to previously, any Covid-19 vaccine that is approved must go through rigorous clinical trials and safety checks. Millions of people have been given a Covid-19 vaccine and reports of serious side effects, such as allergic reactions, have been very rare.
Data has shown that the vast majority of reported side effects are mild and in line with most types of vaccine, including the seasonal flu vaccine. The MHRA continues to monitor potential side effects of all vaccines in the UK. Routine safety monitoring and analysis of the approved Covid-19 vaccines by the MHRA shows that the safety of these vaccines remains as high as expected from the clinical trial data that supported the approvals.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me.
Cat Smith, the Member of Parliament for Lancaster and Fleetwood, also declined to attend, noting that the overwhelming evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe, and MPs would be legitimising the debate by participating:
Thank you for your emails regarding excess deaths and next week’s debate in Parliament.
The overwhelming evidence demonstrates that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe for the overwhelming majority so no I will not be legitimising this debate by participating in it.
Regardless of what the 7 “experts or top doctors” may have said during that short 2-hour private meeting in The Wilson Room of the Portcullis House, they cannot refute the overwhelming evidence that COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be safe and effective for the vast majority of people who took them.
Tens of billions of doses have already been administered over the past 3 years, and verified cases of serious side effects and deaths have been few and far in between. In fact, the risk of developing myocarditis after a COVID-19 infection, for example, was shown to be hundreds of times higher than with multiple doses of the vaccines.
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did Dr. David Martin just testify to the UK Parliament at the House of Commons on the true origins of the COVID-19 pandemic?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Truth : David Martin Did Not Testify To UK Parliament On COVID-19!
This appears to be yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on WhatsApp and social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter, and here are the reasons why!
Fact #1 : It Was A Short Private Meeting
Let me start by pointing out that the video does not show Dr. David Martin giving testimony to the U.K. Parliament at the House of Commons. He was speaking at a private meeting in Portcullis House.
To raise funds, the U.K. Parliament has allowed companies and individuals to rent rooms for private events since January 2014. This COVID-19 meeting was conducted in the Wilson Room, and it was short – lasting just 2 hours.
To be clear – that was not an official U.K. Parliament event, and was merely a private event held in a rented room in Portcullis House. The speakers at that event were only “testifying” to the few attendees in the room, not to the U.K. Parliament.
The private meeting was hosted by UK MP Andrew Bridgen, but it was not an official U.K. Parliament event or meeting. In fact, Andrew Bridgen asked the public to write to their MPs to ask (beg?) them to attend that meeting.
Andrew Bridgen : Tomorrow, I’m hosting a historic meeting in Parliament at which doctors and analysts will give expert testimony on the pandemic and its consequences.
All MPs & Lords have been formally invited. Ask your MP to attend using the template below
The choice of Wilson Room though suggests that he did not expect many to attend. After all, the Wilson Room appears to be a small meeting room, with a maximum capacity of 12-16 delegates, with sitting room for another 30 or so people. Obviously, the vast majority of UK Members of Parliament did not attend.
Dr. David Martin claimed that “[UK] Parliament turned off the livestream but several [people] recorded it. However, it appears that there was no livestream of the meeting, because the Wilson Room does not permit public footage, except in certain circumstances:
Photography/Filming for private functions: (Committee sessions have different arrangements)
If the chairperson and the other Members present are content, photography is permitted at any meeting in a committee room.
Filming is also OK as long as the members and chairperson are content, the material is for internal use only, the film crew brings in its own hand-held equipment and a permit has been issued by the Events Team. In the case of informal meetings of committees of the House, footage may be made publicly available at the chairman’s discretion. For all other meetings, footage may not be made publicly available.

Foreign visitors are now required to complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC)prior to arrival in Malaysia! Here is what you need to know…
Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) Requirement
From 1 December 2023 onwards, the Immigration Department of Malaysia (JIM) requires foreign visitors to complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) prior to their arrival in Malaysia.
The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) replaces the physical white arrival card that foreign visitors usually complete before or on arrival in Malaysia.
This new rule applies to all foreign visitors, except:
people transiting / transferring through Singapore without seeking immigration clearance,
Malaysian Permanent Resident, and
Malaysian Automated Clearance System (MACS) holders
As an added benefit, foreign visitors from 10 countries can register their fingerprint at the immigration country, and will thereafter be able to use the Autogate (Egate) at Malaysian airports and other ports of entry to quickly get through immigration!
Australia
Brunei
Germany
Japan
South Korea
New Zealand
Saudi Arabia
Singapore
United States
United Kingdom
But please note that the MDAC is not a visa. Neither is it an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) that some countries use to pre-register visitors for multiple entries.
All foreign visitors (except those who were explicitly exempted above) will need to register for the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) for the first time.
Enrol for the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) at this official link.
Complete and submit the MDAC within three days (3) prior to your arrival in Malaysia.
You will be required to fill in these information:
a) Full name
b) Passport number
c) Nationality
d) Sex
e) Date of Birth
f) Date of Passport Expiry
g) Email address
h) Mobile Number
i) Date of Arrival : Must be within 3 days (including date of submission)
j) Date of Departure
k) Mode of Travel : Air / Land / Sea
l) Last Port of Embarkation
On arrival in Malaysia, you will need to enroll and verify your passport manually at the Malaysian Immigration Department counter.
After that manual enrolment, you will be allowed to use the Egate autogate system when you depart Malaysia.
On Subsequent Visits
On subsequent visits, foreign visitors will need to:
Complete and submit the MDAC within three days (3) prior to your arrival in Malaysia.
Use the Autogate system on arrival and departure
As you can see, the new Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) does more than just eliminate waste and improve efficiency through digital transformation of the physical arrival card. It also streamlines the immigration process for foreign visitors, and allows some of them to breeze through using the Egate system!
But again – please note that you can only submit the MDAC within 3 days of your trip, and this includes the date of submission.
Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) : Other Important Things
Here are other things about the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card that may be important:
You can check the status of your MDAC registration information here.
You can check the visit pass record for the latest 3 months here.
You can check your Egate eligibility status here. *
* Please note that Egate eligibility is only open to business and social travellers from these 10 countries, who have an e-Passport, and will only start after you have enrolled your fingerprints (biometric verification) at the immigration counter.

Do UK government data show that young people are dying of turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccine at “explosive” rates?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : UK Gov Data Show Explosive Hike In Cancer Deaths From Vaccine!
People are sharing a Children Health Defense article that appears to suggest that UK government data show that young people are dying of turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccine at “explosive” rates!
Here is an excerpt from the very long article:
New Report: Young People Dying of Cancer at ‘Explosive’ Rates, UK Government Data Show
An analysis of U.K. government data shows an unprecedented increase in cancer deaths among 15- to 44-year-olds following the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, according to a new report by data analyst Edward Dowd. The report has prompted renewed calls for further investigation.
Teenagers and young people in their 20s, 30s and 40s in the U.K. are dying from rapidly metastasizing and terminal cancers at an unprecedented rate since mass COVID-19 vaccination began, according to a new analysis by Edward Dowd.
The 45-page report by Dowd, a former Wall Street hedge fund manager and author of “‘Cause Unknown’: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022,” alarmed some oncologists who characterized it as a sharp reversal of decades of mortality data.
Dowd based his analysis on readily available government statistics from the U.K.’s Office for National Statistics.
In an interview with The Defender, Dowd said he and his research partners, who include a handful of high-level scientists, data analysts and financial experts, examined all International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, (ICD-10) codes for cause of death in the U.K. in the study period of 2010-2022 to investigate trends in malignant neoplasms (C00 to C99 codes).
The study’s results in the rate of cancer deaths above the historic norm in 2022 for ages 15-44 in the U.K. included:
A 28% rise in fatal breast cancer rates in women.
An 80% increase in pancreatic cancer deaths among women and a 60% increase among men.
A 55% increase among men in colon cancer deaths and a 41% increase in women.
A 120% increase in fatal melanomas among men and a 35% increase in women.
A 35% increase in brain cancer deaths among men and a 12% rise in women.
A 60% increase in cancer death rates among men in cancers “without site specification” and a 55% increase among women.
No Evidence UK Gov Data Show Explosive Hike In Cancer Deaths From Vaccine!
Let’s take a look at the claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Fact #1 : It Was Just Statistical Analysis
Firsts, I should just point out that the “study” was just a statistical analysis of data from the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS). This is important to note because it does not actually show a correlation between the “excess deaths” caused by cancer, and mRNA vaccines.
Interestingly, the paper itself does not even mention the words “vaccine” or “mRNA” even once! So why would the Children Health Defense article suggest that the paper showed a link between those deaths and mRNA vaccines?
If there are actually increases in cancer deaths after the COVID-19 pandemic, could they not be caused by a lack of screening, laboratory investigations, or patients seeking diagnosis during the lockdowns?
The paper itself certainly offered no evidence linking any of the cancer deaths to the mRNA vaccines, or any COVID-19 vaccine for the matter.
Fact #2 : UK Data Showed No Increase In Cancer Deaths
On top of that, the UK excess mortality data (link) for the last 3 years (October 2020 to October 2023) showed no increase in deaths from all causes of cancer in the United Kingdom.
In fact, the data showed that weekly cancer deaths (dark grey bars) were generally LOWER than expected (dotted purple line). The light grey bars show cancer patients who died from other causes.
Does that mean that the COVID-19 vaccines were somehow protecting people in the UK from cancer deaths? Of course, not. So why should any excess death be attributed to the COVID-19 vaccines? Think about that.
There is zero evidence to back up the claims that mRNA vaccines, or even DNA fragments in those vaccines, can change our DNA.
Let me just point out that messenger RNA (mRNA) cannot enter the nucleus of our cells. Therefore, it cannot possibly change our cell DNA, or deactivate genes that suppress tumours – the basis for claims mRNA vaccines cause turbo cancers.
For that to happen, two things must occur – the mRNA must be “converted” into DNA by a reverse transcriptase enzyme, which does not exist in human cytoplasm (but exists in viruses). Even after that happens, the transcribed DNA cannot enter the cell nucleus without an integrase enzyme (that viruses produce).
Unlike mRNA vaccines, viruses not only insert their genome into our cell nucleus, they literally take over our cells to turn them into virus factories. So anyone who is worried about “alien” RNA / DNA entering our cell nucleus should worry about viruses, instead of mRNA vaccines!
Fact #4 : There Is No Such Thing As Turbo Cancer
There is no such thing as “turbo cancer”, and there is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can cause cancer, or make cancer go “turbo”.
Many cases of cancer go undetected until they become symptomatic. And sometimes, patients ignore those symptoms until they worsen.
Some cancers are also known “silent killers”, because they show no symptoms until they are already in an advanced stage, and have spread to other parts of the body. Such patients often die soon after diagnosis.
Hence, many people that were claimed to have died of turbo cancers were suffering from such “silent killer” cancers, or their cancers were actually diagnosed long before the COVID-19 vaccines were invented.
Ironically, Kirstie Alley refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Yet, it did not stop people from claiming that she died from turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!

Did a senior Ukrainian pilot just defect to Russia with his Su-27 fighter loaded with NATO missiles, and electronics?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Ukrainian Su-27 Pilot Defected To Russia
People are sharing two photos of a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jet, claiming / suggesting that it was just flown to Russia by a defecting Ukrainian flight commander, fully-loaded with NATO missiles, radar, and electronic warfare equipment.
A Ukrainian “flight commander” flew a SU-27 jet over the Russian border and landed in one of our bases.
Can’t wait for the F-16…
Intelligence FRONT : A senior pilot who served as a squadron commander in the Ukrainian Air Force escaped with a Su-27 jet and took refuge in Russia. It is said that the pilot arrived with a large amount of information, documents and some intact western-made missiles, radar and electronic warfare pod on the plane. This is the first time such an incident has occurred, and the fact that the incoming pilot is a high-ranking figure with plenty of documentation, and that the planes are already NATO integrated and carry NATO equipment and missiles, constitutes a historical opportunity for the Russians regarding NATO air equipment and missiles. It was also a chance to obtain extensive information about the situation of the Ukrainian Air Force and air defense forces, as well as NATO activities in the country.
US Civil Defense News :🚨Update: Ukrainian flight captain decided he wanted to live and defected to Russia, flying and landing his fighter jet in Russia. They realize the war is over. They lost. It’s time to move on!!!
No Evidence Ukrainian Su-27 Pilot Defected To Russia!
This appears to be another example of FAKE NEWS / VATNIK PROPAGANDA circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Photos Were Taken At RIAT 1996
First, let me just point out that the claim or suggestion that a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jet with the tail number 48 just defected to Russia is definitely false.
The two photos of the same Ukrainian Su-27 aircraft with the tail number 48 were not taken recently, or even in Ukraine or Russia.
The photos are of a Ukrainian Su-27S at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) show, was held at RAF Fairfore in Gloucestershire in the UK. They were taken in July 1996 – more than 27 years ago!
The photo above was taken by Mike Freer, who captioned it as a Ukrainian Su-27S “departing RIAT 96”.
The photo below was taken by Peter Fothergill, who took his photo on 19 July 1996, but only uploaded it to the AirFighters website on 1 September 2020.
Fact #2 : No Evidence Of Pilot Defecting With Su-27
Claims that a senior Ukrainian officer or flight commander defected to Russia with a Su-27 fighter jet loaded with NATO missiles and electronics have been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) since 18 November 2023.
However, none of those who posted the news have actually provided any evidence that such a defection took place.
The defection of a senior Ukrainian pilot would have been major news, especially if he flew a Su-27 fighter jet loaded with NATO missiles and electronics to Russia. Yet, Russian news media have not mentioned such a stunning development.
The claims appear to be based on a short report by the Russian state news agency, TASS. On 18 November 2023, TASS reported that a Ukrainian military pilot defected to Russia.
According to Alexey Voyevoda – a Ka-52 helicopter pilot who organised the flight, the pilot is now “consulting with the Federal Security Service”.
MOSCOW, November 18. /TASS/. A military pilot of the Ukrainian armed forces has defected to Russia, a Ka-52 helicopter pilot, who organized the flight, told TASS.
“The Ukrainian military pilot is in Russia, consulting with the Federal Security Service,” Alexey Voyevoda said.
Voyevoda explained that he cannot yet disclose the details of this operation.
You will note that the TASS report never said that it was a senior pilot, or a flight commander. It also never said that the pilot flew to Russia with a Su-27 fighter jet, much less one loaded with NATO missiles or electronics.
Fact #4 : Ka-52 Extraction Is Plausible
The Kamov Ka-52 Alligator (Hokum B) is a two-seater helicopter, seating a pilot and a gunner side-by-side.
While it is not capable of carrying any passengers, it is possible for a Ka-52 pilot like Alexey Voyevoda to fly into Ukraine without a gunner, to extract a defecting Ukrainian pilot.

Duangphet Phromthep, the former captain of the football team that was rescued from a flooded Thai cave, died suddenly in the United Kingdom.
Take a look at the viral claims about his sudden death, and find out what the facts really are!
Updated @ 2023-11-04 : Added the official cause of death for Duangphet Phromthep Originally posted @ 2023-02-16
Claim : Duangphet Phromthep Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that Duangphet Phromthep died suddenly, people immediately claimed that the 17 year-old former captain of the Wild Boars football team that was rescued from a flooded Thai cave died from vaccine SADS!
Another Sudden cardiac arrest with unknown cause especially in the young— after Covid infection/Covid vaccine era — spooky
The Vaccine has killed another person in there sleep this time it was the Thai Captain who was 17
Now offical that taking the shitty mRNA jab is more dangerous than being trapped a mile underground in a flooded cave. #DuangpetchPromthep
Steve Kirsch : Captain of Thai Soccer Team Rescued From Cave Dies at 17. No known cause. Lot of kids dying. Never seen anything like this. Worldwide effect.
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Duangphet Phromthep Was Found Unconscious In His Dorm
Duangphet Phromthep was the 13 year-old captain of the Wild Boards (Moo Pa) football team that was rescued two weeks after a flash flood trapped them in a Thai cave on 23 June 2018.
Also known as Dom and Nong Dom, Duangphet Phromthep went to Chiang Mai to study sports, and received a scholarship to study at the Brooke House College Football Academy in Leicester, England, last year.
A teacher found Dom unconscious in his dorm on Sunday, 12 February 2023, and called the police. A Leicestershire police spokesperson confirmed this, stating:
Shortly before 1pm on Sunday, police were called to a boarding school in Leicester Road, Market Harborough by the East Midlands Ambulance Service.
The call concerned the welfare of a pupil. The pupil – a 17-year-old boy – was taken to hospital. He has since died.
Duangphet Phromthep was then sent to the Kettering General Hospital. However, he was unresponsive and died on Tuesday, 14 February, 2023. Ian Smith, the principal at Brooke House college released this statement:
This event has left our college community deeply saddened and shaken. We unite in grief with all of Dom’s family, friends, former teammates and those involved in all parts of his life, as well as everyone affected in any way by this loss in Thailand and throughout the college’s global family.
The college is liaising with statutory authorities and the Royal Thai embassy in London, and dedicating all resources to assist our student body, as they as young people process Dom’s passing. Beyond that, we are unable to comment further at this time and would ask for privacy and compassion as we continue to support the students in our care at this time, drawing on the kindness and assistance of the Market Harborough community.
Fact #2 : Duangphet Phromthep Allegedly Had A Head Injury
Claims that Duangphet Phromthep died from a cardiac arrest, or in his sleep from SADS, appear to be completely unfounded.
According to Supatpong Methigo – a Buddhist monk who taught him earlier, Duangphet’s grandmother told him he had died, after hitting his head in an accident.
Phra Khu Prayut Jetiyanukarn, abbot of Wat Phra That Doi Wao in Chiang Rai, said Duangphet’sthat mother phoned him around 6 AM and told him that her son had died. The abbot said according to initial reports, there was an accident, a fall, and Duangphet was injured. He was admitted to the hospital, and put on a ventilator, but later died.
Other relatives told Thai reporters that they were informed that Duangphet had been injured in an accident that led to his death, and that details would be given by his football club in England.
Fact #3 : Duangphet Phromthep’s Death Was Not Suspicious
The cause of death for Duangphet Phromthep was initially not officially confirmed, but the Leicestershire police said that his death was not suspicious, and a file would be prepared for the coroner.
The boy’s death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
Fact #4 : Duangphet Phromthep Died From Suicide
On 4 October 2023, an inquest into Duangphet’s death was held at the Leicester Coroner’s Court. Professor Catherine Mason, the senior coroner for Leicester city and South Leicestershire, recorded a conclusion of suicide.
She said that Duangphet “was not known to mental health services, and it is not known why he took the actions that he did“, so “it could not have been foreseen or prevented“. She also stated that the “police investigation has found no evidence of third-party involvement or suspicious circumstances“.
The boy’s death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
It may seem obvious now, but I have to point out that Duangphet Phromthep most definitely did not die from any COVID-19 vaccine side effect, as claimed or suggested by many anti-vaccine proponents.
Fact #5 : UK Never Had A Vaccine Mandate For Travellers
The United Kingdom never instituted a vaccine mandate for travellers. Travellers were required to test before flying to the UK, and quarantine on arrival.
The testing requirement was only lifted on 11 February 2022 for fully-vaccinated travellers. Even so, travellers who were not fully-vaccinated could still continue to travel to the UK. They just had to undergo a pre-departure COVID-19 test, and a PCR test on the day of arrival, or the next day.
Fact #6 : Unknown If Duangphet Phromthep Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
It is unknown if Duangphet Phromthep was ever vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.
Unless his family reveals his vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Duangphet Phromthep was fully-vaccinated is likely lying to you. For certain – he did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine.
Fact #7 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine are often proven false. Here are some other examples:
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next athlete tragedy…

Did Rome and Thor actor Ray Stevenson die from COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Updated @ 2023-10-18 : Expanded section on Ray Stevenson dying from a heart attack and pneumonia.
Updated @ 2023-09-07 : Addressed claim that Ray Stevenson died from a heart attack caused by anaphylaxis. Originally posted @ 2025-05-25
Claim : Ray Stevenson Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that Ray Stevenson died after being hospitalised, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the Irish actor died from COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!
RIP Ray Stevenson A real shocker – a big man in every sense of the word, his career in full flow no indications of any illness! Taken ill while working – all in the era of covid vaccines
Ray Stevenson just died yesterday at the age of 58. Clean bill of health, but just dropped dead yesterday for no apparent reason, cause of death has not yet been disclosed which is normally the case of Vaccine related deaths.
One of my favorite actors, Ray Stevenson, has died. A gentle giant, he will be sorely missed.
Sudden illness? Again. The jab took another good person.
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Ray Stevenson Died While Filming In Italy
Ray Stevenson (born George Raymond Stevenson on 25 May 1964) was an Irish actor who starred in King Arthur, the Thor movies, as well as the HBO series, Rome, and the Star Wars series, Ahsoka.
According to Italian newspaper, La Repubblica, Ray Stevenson was filming Cassino in Ischia in Italy, when he suffered “a sudden illness that required hospitalisation” on Saturday afternoon, 20 May 2023.
His condition was “very serious” when he was hospitalised, and worsened the next day, and he died on Sunday morning, 21 May 2023 – four days before his 59th birthday.
Ray Stevenson was survived by his wife, Italian anthropologist Elisabetta Caraccia, and their three sons.
Fact #2 : Ray Stevenson’s Cause Of Death Is Unknown
Ray Stevenson’s cause of death is currently unknown. Neither his representative, nor his family, have publicly announced his cause of death.
Ray Stevenson could have died suddenly from any number of reasons – a heart attack or a stroke, for example, which could hypothetically explain his hospitalisation before his death.
Until and unless his representative, family, or the Italian authorities, publicly reveal his cause of death, anyone who tells you that Ray Stevenson died from this or that cause is just likely lying to you.
Fact #3 : Ray Stevenson May Have Died Of Heart Attack
It has been said that the Italian media reported that his death was caused by a heart attack precipitated by an anaphylactic shock, and severe pneumonia.
He was on set Saturday afternoon when he was rushed to the hospital for a heart attack linked to a serious one anaphylactic shock: He was immediately transported to the recovery room, but doctors discovered that his lungs were seriously compromised. So much so that a post announcing his death had already appeared on the net that day.
According to the Italian newspapers Il Corriere della Sera and Il Mattino, the Northern Irish actor Ray Stevenson died of a heart attack caused by a severe anaphylactic shock.
While it is certainly plausible Ray Stevenson died from a heart attack, it is impossible to find any corroboration of these claims.
Of course, if Ray Stevenson died from a heart attack, it would certainly rule out the claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccine SADS, or a vaccine side effect. COVID-19 vaccines do not cause heart attacks.
mRNA vaccines can cause anaphylaxis in rare cases, but within minutes of administration. Unless Ray Stevenson received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine mere minutes before his “medical emergency”, it is unlikely COVID-19 vaccines had anything to do with his death.
Fact #3 : Unknown If Ray Stevenson Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
Ray Stevenson did not publicly mention his COVID-19 vaccination status, so it is currently unknown if he was vaccinated against COVID-19. His family has also not mentioned his vaccination status.
Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Ray Stevenson died from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.
Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Ray Stevenson was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it does not mean he died from the COVID-19 vaccine, as he would have received his doses many months ago!
He cannot possibly be suffering from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.
Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITTdevelop within days.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.
Fact #5 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Was there mass looting at London’s Oxford Street, as part of a crime wave in Western countries?!
Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Mass Looting At London’s Oxford Street!
Pro-CCP netizens, as well as the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), are sharing a video which appears to show mass looting at London’s Oxford Street, with claims that this is part of a crime wave in Western countries!
Looting London, Oxford St
Also happens in US,France and Australia.Now,also in Sweden.
Truth : There Was No Mass Looting At London’s Oxford Street!
This is yet another example of misinformation and propaganda created by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), and shared by anti-West netizens, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Video Originated In TikTok
First, the video originated in TikTok, with the poster describing it as a “mass looting stunt” that was planned on social media:
Chaos erupts on Oxford Street amid reports of ‘mass looting stunt’ planned on social media #london #oxfordstreet #clash #chaos #looting #stunt #shopping #shops #uk #news #fyp #foryoupage
Fact #2 : It Only Targeted JD Sports
The so-called looting did not occur at multiple stores at London’s Oxford Street. Rather, it only targeted one store – the JD Sports outlet nearest to Oxford Circus.
There are actually three JD Sports outlets along Oxford Street, but the outlet at 197-203 Oxford Street is the closest to Oxford Circus.
This was not the typical looting that has been going on in certain cities like San Francisco, for example.
The truth is – this was initiated by posts on TikTok and Snapchat calling on users to take part in an “Oxford Circus JD Robbery” at 3 PM on Wednesday, 9 August 2023.
The TikTok and Snapchat posts encouraged yobs (British slang for louts) to follow the dress code of balaclavas and gloves, with the warning – “Don’t come if you can’t run. Don’t come if you’re loud. Don’t come with any weapons“.
London mayor, Sadiq Khan, even issued a warning about the TikTok craze:
I am worried about this nonsense we have seen on TikTok encouraging people to go to Oxford Street.
The viral TikTok and Snapchat posts caught the attention of the Metropolitan Police, which sent dozens of police officers to proactively prevent the “mass looting” event, should it actually take place.
We are aware of online speculation about opportunities to commit crime around Oxford Street. There will be a significant number of our officers in the area over the next 24 hours.
Mounted police officers on horses patrolled Oxford Street, while police officers formed human shields around shops. In the end, hundreds of teenagers gathered outside the JD Sports outlet, but no actual looting took place.
Just after 3 PM, two young men were detained outside McDonald’s near JD Sports. By 8 PM, the Metropolitan police issued 34 dispersal orders and arrested nine people.
Four people were arrested on suspicion of breaching the dispersal order, one person was arrested on suspicion of going equipped to steal, one person arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, and one person was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence.
Earlier in the afternoon, officers arrested two people in Essex for conspiracy to commit robbery following online social media posts.
However, no actual looting took place at JD Sports or any other store along Oxford Street that day.
Fact #5 : Most People Were There To Take Photos / Videos
While several people were arrested at the “mass looting” event, it appears that most people were there to take photos or videos of any looting that might actually occur due to the “TikTok craze”.
When British media interviewed people at the scene, many said that they were just there to record the “event”:
Harry, 14, from Islington : I’m not here to steal anything, I’ve been raised better than that. I just want to record it.
CJ, 16, from Hertfordshire : We’re not here to steal stuff – there’s loads of famous people making videos. We just saw loads of police and want to see what it’s about.
Many teenagers shared the photos and videos they took on TikTok and Snapchat, some of which appear in the video above.
Fact #9 : This Is Just CCP Propaganda
This is really nothing more than yet another example of CCP propaganda created / promoted by the infamous Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛).
All of the wumao articles that I looked at so far have proven to be false in most instances. So please watch out for such false claims. Here is just the latest dozen,.

Find out why many Western countries repeatedly voted against a UN resolution calling for global action against racism and discrimination!
Updated @ 2023-09-29 : Refreshed after message went viral again Originally posted @ 2023-04-30
Claim : The West Voted Against UN Anti-Racism Bill!
Pro-CCP netizens, as well as the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), are claiming that many Western countries like the US, the UK, and Canada voted against a UN resolution calling for global action against racism and discrimination!
UN introduced a bill that called for global action against racism and discrimination
Here’s Why The West Voted Against UN Anti-Racism Bill!
At first glance, it is easy enough to see why some netizens actually believe that Western countries are being hypocrites, with many sharing comments like these:
Hypocrites who tell you you have freedoms but actually you don’t. But you still think you do.
But the truth is – this is just another example of misinformation and propaganda created by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), and shared by anti-West netizens, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : It Was A 2020 UN Resolution Against Racism
First, let me just give you some context on the resolution (not a bill) in question.
The claim refers to the 2020 UN resolution called A global call for concrete action for the elimination of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance and the comprehensive implementation of and follow-up to the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action.
This resolution is not new, and has actually been introduced and voted on every year since 2014.
Fact #2 : It Was A Non-Binding Resolution
That UN anti-racism resolution is also non-binding, which means countries are not compelled to abide by it.
Fact #3 : Many Western Countries Voted Against UN Racism Resolution
Let me confirm that most Western countries voted No to that 2020 UN resolution against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance.
Total voting membership : 193
Members voting Yes : 106
Members voting No : 14
Members abstaining : 44
Members who did not vote : 29
Countries that voted No that year were Australia, Canada, Czechia (Czech Republic), Congo, France, Germany, Guyana, Israel, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Netherlands, Slovenia, United Kingdom, and United States.
If this UN resolution seems familiar, that is because it is similar to the Anti-Nazi resolution that Russia has submitted every year since 2012, and one which many Western countries consistently voted against, or abstained from voting.
Like this anti-racism UN resolution, that anti-Nazi resolution was hypocritical in nature. Russia did not introduce it to fight Nazism or neo-Nazis, but to justify its annexation of Crimea in March 2014, and its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Russia claims that it had to invade Ukraine to “denazify” it, and is using that UN resolution to justify its invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking to European Voice before the vote, Lithuania’s foreign minister, Linas Linkevičius, said that “no one should doubt that we are condemning fascism”, but, he continued, “under cover of this condemnation, Russia is pursuing its own agenda”.
Fact #4 : Western Countries Were Against Durban Declaration
Western countries have long boycotted the 2001 Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA), and the resulting Durban Review Conference that was called to implement it.
Even though the DDPA ostensibly has laudable goals – to eliminate “racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance”, it is being used to promote anti-Semitism, impose restrictions on free speech, and does not address discrimination against the LGBT community.
Our concerns about the 2001 Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA) are well-known, including its unfair and unacceptable singling out of Israel and its endorsement of overbroad restrictions on freedom of expression that run counter to the U.S. commitment to robust free speech. But we will always stand ready to work with others in the effort to combat racism, bigotry, and racial discrimination.
After another vote on the same resolution in 2021, the Biden Administration reiterated that the United States remain opposed to the DDPA and its “restrictions on freedom of speech and expression“.
As in previous years, we deeply regret that we cannot support this resolution, which does not genuinely focus on countering racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. Among our concerns are the resolution’s endorsement of the Durban Declaration and Program of Action (DDPA), the outcome of the Durban review conference and its endorsement of overbroad restrictions on freedom of speech and expression.
We reject any effort to advance the “full implementation” of the DDPA. We believe this resolution serves as a vehicle to prolong divisions , rather than providing an inclusive way forward for the international community to counter the scourge of racism and racial discrimination.
The United States also opposed the UN anti-racism resolution which called for UN States to implement Article 4 of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD).
And why is Article 4 of the CERD so offensive to the United States? After all, it calls for UN States to declare an offence punishable by law “all dissemination of ideas based on racial superiority or hatred”, amongst other things.
That’s because the United States Constitution provides the right to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly and association, and this includes even offensive beliefs like Nazism and racism.
As Nicholas Hill, the Deputy US Representative for ECOSOC explained on November 12, 2021, when the United States voted No on the similar Anti-Nazi UN resolution :
The United States Supreme Court has consistently affirmed the constitutional right to freedom of speech and the rights of peaceful assembly and association, including by avowed Nazis, whose hatred and xenophobia are vile and widely scorned by the American people. We nevertheless firmly defend the constitutional rights of those who exercise their fundamental freedoms to combat intolerance and express strong opposition to the odious Nazi creed and others that espouse similar hatreds.
For these reasons, the United States has voted against each new version of this resolution since 2005 and is, again, compelled to vote “No” on this resolution, and calls on other States to do the same.
Fact #6 : Western Countries Do Not Want To Pay Reparations
The United States also objected to the resolution because it called for “former colonial powers” to provide reparations. That is arguably one of the reasons why so many Western nations voted against the resolution, or at least abstained against it.
We also reject the resolution’s call for “former colonial Powers” to provide reparations “consistent with” the DDPA.
Regardless of the harm colonialism has done in the past, reparations have nothing to do with eliminating racism today and in the future, does it?
Fact #7 : Western Countries Are Less Homogenous Than China
Since the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) appears to be pushing this narrative, I should point out that Western countries are much less homogenous than China.
Most Western countries have a mix of different races, with a significant number of foreign immigrants. Hence, incidents of racism can appear to be more common, simply because their societies are less homogenous than China’s.
According to the China National Bureau of Statistics, there were 2.77 million foreigners living in China at the end of 2019. That may sound like a lot, but that is less than 0.2% of its population of 1.4 billion!
China proudly declares that it has many ethnic groups, but some 91.5% of its native population are Han Chinese. The 55 ethnic minorities constitute a mere 8.5% of its population.
In other words – China is an extremely homogenous society, so there are very few opportunities for racism. It doesn’t mean the Chinese are not racist. It just means that they just don’t have enough engagement with other races to show their tolerance or intolerance to different looks, cultures and beliefs.
Fact #8 : Western Countries Are More Equitable Than China
I should also point out that Western countries are more open to foreign immigrants, with many of them ending up in positions of political and economic power.
The United States, for example, allow foreigners who become its citizens to run for public office, and many do:
Mazie Hirono from Japan : Lieutenant Governor, US Representative, and US Senator for Hawaii
Pramila Jayapal from India : US Representative for Washington, and Washington State Senator
Young Kim from South Korea : US Representative for California
Ted Liu from Taiwan : US Representative for California
Ilhan Omar from Somalia : US Representative for Minnesota
Victoria Spartz from Soviet Union : US Representative for Indiana
It is the same even in business, where many foreign immigrants were able to rise to the top of their industries:
Sundar Pichai from India : CEO of Google
Satya Nadella from India : CEO of Microsoft
Elon Musk from South Africa : CEO of SpaceX, Tesla and Twitter
Jensen Huang from Taiwan : CEO of NVIDIA
Dr. Lisa Su from Taiwan : CEO of AMD
Even though there are many examples of racism in the United States, it remains far more equitable than China, where foreign immigrants do not have the same opportunities as the native Chinese.
Try asking your local pro-CCP activist to name any foreign immigrant who has rose to prominence in politics or business in China, and watch as they gape in stunned silence.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a central committee that consists of 205 full members, and 171 alternate members. Everyone of those 376 central committee members are Chinese natives – there are no foreign immigrants or their children. Not even a token immigrant just for show.
When the CCP Central Committee and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) proudly released their list of top 100 outstanding private entrepreneurs in 2018 – they were all Chinese natives as well. No foreign immigrants or their children were in the list.
This is really nothing more than yet another example of Chinese propaganda created by the infamous Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛).
