From independence, freedom and truth

Health / Covid

Veritas filia temporis

Fernando del Pino Calvo Sotelo

March 18, 2025

Truth is the daughter of time. Five years after the start of Covid, the official narrative is crumbling. The overwhelming weight of scientific evidence and the publication of revisionist official reports dismantling the hegemonic political-media narrative since 2020 has prompted some Spanish media outlets to sound a meritorious, albeit insufficient, mea culpa. One of them recognizes that “what was fake news from some of those labeled as denialists is now in line with proven facts,” and proposes that, from now on, “we should listen to other voices, even if they do not agree with the narrative of the State, the media, the fact-checkers (…), or our most deeply rooted ideology” (eloquent, this last one, isn’t it?)[1].

Something similar has happened in other countries. Recently, one of the journalists from the New York Times titled his article: “We were badly misled”[2]. Another repentant admitted in the British The Times that he no longer believes “that lockdown saved a single life, and it may indeed have caused the deaths of many.” After asking that next time “we keep our critical faculties about us and do not treat as pariahs those who beg to differ from the approved paradigm”, he ends with a reflection: “We should remember that the greater the consensus, the more doubting we should be”[3]. Amen.

In reality, it was the politicians, the EU, the media, the clownish fact-checkers and part of the medical establishment, that is to say, the political-media-pharma collusion, the denialists who endlessly propagated hoaxes.

The origin of Covid: a lab leak

The establishment’s first hoax was the alleged zoonotic origin of Covid with that invented pangolin that still survives in the forest escaping from its pursuers, like Rambo. Common sense made us wonder two years ago what the a priori probability was that, of all the inhabited places on the planet, the virus would emerge precisely in a city where there were laboratories that were working precisely with that type of coronavirus.

Today, no serious source questions that the pandemic was in all likelihood caused by an escape from a biological lab in Wuhan that the Chinese authorities and the US concealed with the help of the corrupt WHO while China exported the virus to the rest of the world. The US had a twofold interest: the American scientists and institutions that had funded coronavirus research in Wuhan wanted to cover their tracks, and the Deep State wanted to weaken the chances of re-election for Trump, who had defended the lab leak theory.

The truth — which was censored — had been known or at least suspected since 2020, but was hidden from the general public. German intelligence services gave an up to 95% probability from the outset that the virus came from the Chinese laboratory, but former Chancellor Merkel decided to keep the report secret[4]. Similarly, the former director of MI6 presented the British government with a classified report stating that “it is now beyond reasonable doubt that Covid-19 was engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” but the establishment buried it[5].

The tightly controlled medical journals contributed to this cover-up, with one exception. In 2021, the British Medical Journal published that “the suppression of the lab leak theory was not based on any clear evaluation of the science,” and that it had occurred “despite no good counter-evidence for the alternative: natural spillover from animals to humans.” The BMJ concluded by criticizing the failure to investigate the “plausible” laboratory escape as the origin of COVID[6].

In 2022, the US Senate published an extensive scientific report reaching the same conclusions, which were corroborated months later by the FBI director when he acknowledged that “most likely” the origin of COVID was artificial[7]. Finally, in November 2024, the US Congress reached the same conclusion with a relevant report that questioned almost all the measures taken to combat the pandemic[8].

Despite this, some “experts” continue to be frozen in the official narrative and frighten people with the possibility of the recurrence of an epidemic of similar proportions. If it were to happen, it would be the first major natural pandemic in a century, since COVID, I repeat, was not a naturally occurring epidemic, but a biological accident caused by a lab leak. In other words, Covid was the Chernobyl of biological weapons.

So what is the solution to prevent it from happening again? It is certainly not to empower the WHO to create a health dictatorship, as the globalists intend, nor to give more power to governments with theirs sinister digital IDs, nor more money to the corrupt Big Pharma, but something very simple: to ban biological weapons research worldwide and, in particular, gain-of-function technology that genetically manipulates viruses from the animal world to make them more dangerous and contagious to humans, as they did with COVID[9].

Recalcitrant cheeky chappies

Despite everything, in Spain some of those responsible for the biggest public health scandal in history have used the fifth anniversary of the start of the pandemic to shamelessly congratulate themselves, which shows the impunity with which they have misbehaved: five years later, no one has been fired nor fined and no one has been prosecuted (except for the politicians who were paid to promote the mask mandates). Naturally, no one has set foot in jail.

This commemorative parade of cheeky politicians and pompous doctors abusing the authority of the white coat tries to whitewash a fraud of gigantic proportions. As Peter C. Gøtzsche, professor emeritus of medicine in Denmark and co-founder of Cochrane (once the gold standard for evidence-based medicine), said, “Healthcare is much more corrupt than people think, and industry money goes everywhere, to politicians, medical journals, newspapers, other media, etc.”[10].

That etcetera is very broad, as the slimy tentacles of Big Pharma reach members of medical colleges around the world[11], many doctors, directly or indirectly[12], and drug agencies, with their revolving doors. Maybe you missed that Pfizer has just hired one of the top FDA officials during the pandemic[13].

The script of the pandemic

The pandemic followed a script. First, the population was terrorized with the complicity of the media, which launched a campaign of terror and guilt that was perfectly designed to tame the population. Specialized advertising agencies were hired for this purpose[14] and they managed to create a real sense of collective hysteria in order to facilitate the acceptance of arbitrary, liberticidal, absurd and completely unscientific measures. The lockdowns, social distancing and face masks were useless. They did, however, make some people mentally ill.

The illegal and sadistic lockdowns were epidemiologically useless and damaged our mental health and our immune system precisely when we needed it most[15]. On the other hand, the useless masks[16], especially cruel to children in schools[17], were not imposed to control the virus: they were imposed to control the population, and in this they succeeded.

Likewise, in order to approve the emergency use of “vaccines”, any promising treatment whose existence would have prevented, for regulatory reasons, such a profitable business was torpedoed or silenced. This was the case, for example, with vitamin D used preventively[18] or in patients already admitted to hospital[19], ivermectin[20], or hydroxychloroquine, effective in early treatment[21], in combination with azithromycin[22]. Although it reduced covid mortality, it was withdrawn from the market[23].

Finally, after denying against all evidence the superior natural immunity of those who had already passed the disease[24], an indiscriminate vaccination program was launched with rushed vaccines and gene therapies that did not meet any of the three usual requirements for a vaccine (necessity, effectiveness and safety), but did meet the only requirement that mattered: profit.

The “vaccine” scandal

The vaccines and mRNA gene therapies were unnecessary for the vast majority of the population for whom COVID was a mild disease[25],a fact that had been known since 2020 but which the media stubbornly concealed. For children, COVID was milder than the flu[26], yet they were scandalously included in the vaccination program.

The vaccines were also ineffective, as they did not prevent transmission or death. A study carried out in Japan (one of several[27]) even claims that the Covid vaccines had negative effectiveness, i.e. that those who were vaccinated became infected more than those who were not[28]. Furthermore, the likelihood of becoming infected increased with each additional dose, as a macro study by the Cleveland Clinic had concluded[29].

We were told that the vaccines protected against infection and transmission. Thus, they tried to justify the persecution and apartheid of the unvaccinated and the infamous Covid passport. It was another lie, and when it became clear that they did not prevent infection and transmission at all, they backtracked, changing the narrative and claiming that at least they did protect against severity and death. This was also untrue: in March 2022, 84% of those who died from COVID-19 in Spain had been fully vaccinated, according to data from the Ministry of Health itself[30]. A recent study confirms that “the mortality of the vaccinated was 14.5% higher than the mortality of the unvaccinated”, so the idea that the Covid vaccines saved lives “contradicts statistical data”[31].

The vaccines were also unsafe, as we continue to pay for their adverse side effects, especially ischemic and cardiovascular[32]: stroke, thrombosis and thrombocytopenia, pulmonary embolism, myocarditis, pericarditis, atrial fibrillation; but also menstrual disorders, ocular, dermatological, autoimmune and neurological effects, such as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, Bell’s palsy, acute transverse myelitis and cancer[33]. The scandalous truth is that mRNA vaccines and genetic therapies have in all likelihood caused the deaths of many people: autopsies suggest a causal relationship[34].

Today, specialists in the United Kingdom[35] and health authorities in some countries[36] are calling for the suspension of mRNA Covid vaccines, while the British Medical Journal is demanding an investigation into the “unprecedented” excess mortality recorded worldwide in 2021 and 2022 following the rollout of these vaccines[37].

The doctors failed us

Against all caution and against what scientific evidence supported, most doctors in Spain recommended that their patients be vaccinated even if they did not belong to the at-risk population or had already passed the disease. Of course, they did so verbally, without informed consent, prescription or signature.

The reality is that, faced with enormous social and peer pressure and the mimicry that plagues the profession, many chose the easy path, hiding behind the “protocols” of the Orwellian Ministry of Health. How many have accepted any responsibility? And what about the Medical Colleges, who persecuted and threatened the few brave doctors who refused to accept the deception?

It seems logical, therefore, that the credibility of the profession has fallen dramatically: in the US, trust in doctors and hospitals has collapsed, from 72% in 2020 to 40% in 2024[38]. There has also been a logical decline in public confidence in vaccines[39].

A tribute to the brave

Three things I remember with great gratitude in these five years of arduous struggle against the collective hysteria so deliberately created and against the deniers of the political-media collusion, who stubbornly refused to see what the statistical data and scientific evidence were clearly showing.

Firstly, the response of my kind readers, who maintained their sanity in the midst of the collective madness, demonstrating uncommon resilience, strength and courage in defending their independence of opinion and their physical and mental health (and that of their loved ones).

Secondly, the public support of some well-known writers and a few doctors and immunology experts who, in private, offered me very important support, focusing on the message and not on the messenger, that is, on the seriousness of my sources and the rigor of my analysis and not on my lack of credentials. Although medical literature has been one of my hobbies for 20 years, they overlooked my intrusiveness, which is doubly commendable (because it is Spain and because it is the medical profession).

Finally, I remember with admiration the courage of the few doctors who publicly opposed The Big Fat Lie and paid a price for it. After all, I only suffered censorship once from the journal in which I had been publishing peacefully for ten years, which led me to decide ipso facto to stop publishing there if articles could be manu militari withdrawn without any explanation.

But as the saying goes, wise men live in gratitude for grievances. As so often happens in this mysterious and providential life, that minor annoyance turned out to be a disguised blessing, as it pushed me to develop this successful blog.

Those brave doctors, however, paid a high personal and professional price for defending the truth and being true to their Hippocratic oath: they were unjustly stigmatized, threatened, persecuted and ostracized by the media, by the opaque and sinister Medical Colleges and by some of their own colleagues. It is to them that I want to pay special tribute with this article.
