I was very pleased to be a guest on the fabulous Kate Wand podcast, asking: was there a pandemic?
The YouTube video of the discussion can be accessed below.
It is also on Spotify.

No. There was no pandemic.
The answer, as Denis Rancourt resoundingly pronounced in a July 2023 substack, There was No Pandemic. Or, as Martin Neil's fellow statisticien, Pierre Chaillot, points out: a pandemic of PCR tests.
I enjoyed this interview and for what it's worth happen to agree with everything Martin Neil says in it, except towards the end, where I find his tea more than a little weak in that he seems to agree with the statement: “it wasn’t necessarily that it was, like, a couple of people at the top who had this plan to take over the world”. Surely not (though a couple of names come immediately to mind). More like several thousand!
Starlings may not make plans but human beings do. Hitler and fascism's rise wouldn’t have been possible without the industrialists’/international establishment’s support. Ditto for the new techno totalitarianism. Neither are a majority of psychologists themselves immune to crowd think, even as they “nudge” entire populations into it. On the other hand, no less than Jung warned of the threat to humanity posed by “psychic epidemics… manipulated in the name of State policy by those occupying the highest positions in the government… likely, however, to be the slaves of their own fictions.” Written, of course, in a time before Big Pharma, Big Tech and High Finance had taken complete control of said occupants.
Already during fascism's premier era Fromm asserted that “an enormous though secret power over the whole of society is exercised by a small group, on the decisions of which depends the fate of a large part of society”. While today, Desmet’s updated ideas on mass formation are as satisfying an explanation as we'll ever get as to why a majority of people went along with the absurdities and crimes of our very own psychic pandemic.
