About this episode
Tom interviews British doctor Clare Craig about her new book (including a newly released audiobook) and her involvement in a European Court of Human Rights case. Craig describes being smeared and censored during COVID, alleging UK information operations involving the 77th Brigade and a Counter Disinformation Unit, and cites claims of UN/UNICEF-funded influencer campaigns and problematic WHO priorities. She argues COVID policies (lockdowns, masking, distancing) and vaccines failed to stop infection, severe disease, or death, critiques scientific publishing and peer review, and recounts a dispute with The Lancet over a myocarditis paper she says misused data. Craig discusses ethical drift toward utilitarian public health, revisits historical narratives on smallpox vaccination and the 1918 “Spanish flu” (including a possible aspirin-toxicity role), and outlines the Finnish “Mika” case over vaccine restrictions.00:00 Meet Clare Craig09:26 Losing Trust In Institutions18:42 Ethics Nuremberg To Helsinki24:51 Smallpox Vaccine Origins29:10 Crude Early Vaccines29:58 Pushback and Belief30:49 Smallpox Vaccine Reality31:59 Monkeypox Emergency Politics33:57 Spanish Flu Numbers36:02 Two Pathologies Explained38:12 Aspirin Toxicity Theory42:24 Covid Wave Math45:00 Aerosols Everywhere48:05 Household Data and Vaccines52:18 Where Did Flu Go54:03 Dashboards and Modeled Data56:20 Human Rights Case Closinghttps://x.com/ClareCraigPathSpiked: A shot in the dark: https://a.co/d/4W8P2JD========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
