Needled: Spiked Online

It's not the first time Spiked has attacked those who 'question everything' about the mRNA injections.

‘Spiked is the magazine that wants to change the world as well as report on it’ - claims the online magazine whose motto is ‘question everything.’

If only that were the case.

Spiked and its deputy editor Fraser Myers have had it in for those who ask questions about the Covid 19 injections (‘vaccines’) for some time now. Spiked removed a comment that the unvaccinated were “wrong and anti-social” but they are at it again in another round of ad hominem smears.

Fraser Myers openly castigated Andrew Bridgen in Spiked with the piece: ‘The Delusions of Andrew Bridgen.’ Myers condemns what he refers to as conspiracy theorists “whose beliefs corrode reason, democracy and humanism.” He says: “We cannot allow them to fester unchallenged.”

Amongst those who have publicly sided with Myers are Joanna Williams whose book How Woke Won critiques an ‘elitist movement that threatens democracy, tolerance and reason.’ You might assume by this that she is a critical thinker. Instead, she has unambiguously tweeted that Fraser Myers is “absolutely right.” She provided no links to supporting evidence for this of course.

Additionally Andrew Doyle’s re-tweeting of Claire Fox’s tweet saying she was “far more with Fraser Myers than Andrew Bridgen” speaks volumes.

Doyle performs what now must be his latest comedy character, the ‘disinterested interviewer’ for ‘Free Speech Nation’ on GB News. On the show he recently interviewed both Bridgen and Myers. Where Myers provided little more than emotional gestures and name-calling, Bridgen is the one who cited evidence and has the academic credentials with which to make his case. Myers accused the scientifically trained Bridgen of using ‘pseudo-science’ and when asked if he had read the 32 papers Bridgen cited in his December speech to Parliament, Myers replied to Bridgen, ‘you can send me all the papers you like; they are complete outliers in terms of vaccine safety and things like that.’ He may as well have said ‘I won’t bother to read them as I’ve made up my mind already.’

Doyle’s chairing of the debate was on the weak side. He should have been firmer when both men spoke over each other and the event was too rushed for such an important subject. It has to be said that Bridgen did well to speak as well as he did under such pressure.

Doyle himself is careful not to wade into the Pharma debate online notwithstanding that it has clearly become a free speech matter. As such, it is surely one of importance to him given the subject of his first book, Free Speech: And Why it Matters. Doyle, an DPhil from Oxford, simply cannot pretend he does not understand or does not know what has been happening here. As he recounts the religious tropes of ‘woke’ in his book, The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World, he neatly sidesteps the very same in the Pharma wars.

It appears that Andrew Bridgen is making some headway because the powerful are acting as though they are worried. In the most obvious way, they are coming for those who give Bridgen a platform and thus reveal their sinister motives at every turn.

An example of this is what happened to the most strait laced of commentators over the past few years, Dr John Campbell. He has just had his first YouTube ‘strike’ for ‘medical misinformation.’ Additionally, Dr Suneel Dhand in supporting Campbell, received a YouTube warning in return. You could not have found a more careful commentator than Campbell. He bent over backwards to give the medical establishment the benefit of the doubt at every stage of this debacle and many found his generosity of approach frustrating. And yet his so-called ‘red pill’ moment was all the more powerful for this. There came a point where the data revealed the many problems associated with the injections that Dr Campbell (a nurse with a research PhD) could no longer endorse the injections for anyone. (The offending interview with Andrew Bridgen can be found on Rumble).

None of Andrew Bridgen’s critics are able to provide any evidence to support their smears and criticisms, and they know it. Pathetically, they resort to ad hominem attacks and assume that their followers will feel inclined to disassociate themselves from ‘conspiracy theories.’ The problem is that these so-called theories have had a habit of coming true these past three years. There was a time when a central bank digital currency was a conspiracy theory, vaccine mandates and passports were once conspiracy theories, the concept of a great reset was a conspiracy theory, and all have come to pass in one form or another. The mainstream media has been adamant in its refusal to cover protests about lockdowns, vaccine mandates or to consider challenging viewpoints or even the plight of the vaccine injured and killed. It has been left to alternative media outlets who are now threatened by some version or other of an ‘online harms’ bill in Britain.

It is no wonder that some of us are immune (pardon the pun) to the name calling. Yes, through repeated exposure we’re becoming inoculated against the smears.

People have been hurt and killed worldwide by mandated experimental injections and instead of investigating this, Spiked Online has sided with the big boys of Pharma and their ‘friends.’

I’m happy to quote Fraser Myers back to himself. It is Fraser Myers ‘whose beliefs corrode reason, democracy and humanism.’ And about Spiked’s frequent attacks upon those who refuse or question jabs, I say ‘We cannot allow them to fester unchallenged.’ Indeed.
