The Irish have not yet woken up to the fact that they have been duped by the
government, the national broadcaster (RTE), the mainstream media, and certain
senior figures in the medical profession. The so-called ‘Covid pandemic’ is not and
never was a pandemic. Rather it is a deliberately engineered social experiment –
designed and directed by people outside this country – to introduce radical changes in
the way the country is “run”.
People are dying – yes. But they are dying at much the same rate and for much the
same reasons that they have always died. Pathogenic respiratory viruses have been
around for decades. The one called ‘Covid-19’, if it differs at all from other respiratory
viruses, is no more dangerous than the rest. The only difference between this “flu”
season and others is that the number of infection cases has been grossly
misrepresented, the number of deaths that have been attributed to this pathogen is
being greatly exaggerated, and the public have been fed a continuous stream of fearladen propaganda about the so-called dangers posed by the pathogen.
This is how one dupes a gullible, unthinking public – If both the government and the
media are saying something is true, then it must be true; why bother with a critical
examination of the evidence?

How much of what we are being told is based on science?
Instead of focusing in this paper on the motivation behind this destructive social
experiment, or the methods that are being used to keep the show in motion, we will
look instead at the scientific basis to the measures that are being implemented by the
government to contain the spread of the virus.
We could speculate as to the range of scientific studies that have been carried out to
show that social distancing, mask-wearing, home isolation, and travel restrictions are
effective, safe and reliable. But why speculate? Why not simply ask the Health Service
Executive (HSE) – the organization established in law to approve and oversee all
aspects of the national health strategy in Ireland – what studies it has used to confirm
that it is doing what is best for the Irish people? So we asked them.

On behalf of Anti-Corruption Ireland – who are doing a stellar job alerting a sleeping
nation to the appalling level of corruption that prevails in this country – we wrote to
the HSE and, under the Freedom of Information Act 2014, requested specific
information under 8 headings. If nothing else, we wanted assurance that the country
was following the best scientific advice and that the dreadful collateral damage being
inflicted on our economy and our people through the government’s draconian Covid
restrictions was somehow justified.
The HSE admits that it has no relevant scientific information
Nothing could have prepared us for what we found. Even the most cynical among us
believed that some effort was made by the HSE to ensure, on sound medical and
scientific grounds, that the various measures being taken by the government, with
their support and approval, were duly warranted and would not inflict direct harm on
any category of our citizens. But we were wrong.
Replies received from the HSE to our 8 FOI requests show that the top people in the
organization had NO SCIENTIFIC BASIS for what they did. None whatsoever.

This is not an inference on our part. We are not twisting their words. You can read the
evidence for yourself.
Here are the 8 FOI requests (The complete text of each is set out in Appendix A):

1. Lockdowns – effectiveness
   Please provide me with a full, accurate and complete list of records, including the
   date of the record, held by the HSE or under your authority, which describe the
   proven scientific effectiveness of lockdowns as a means of containing the spread
   of SARS-COV2 (Covid-19) or similar viral pathogens.
2. Lockdowns – impact on the elderly
   Please provide me with a full, accurate and complete list of records, including the
   date of the record, held by the HSE or under your authority, which show in a
   scientific way that the social isolation and restricted mobility caused by
   lockdowns do not have a materially adverse effect on the physical and mental
   health of the elderly (persons aged 70 above).
3. Masks – effectiveness
   Please provide me with a full, accurate and complete list of records, including the
   date of the record, held by the HSE or under your authority, which describe the
   proven scientific effectiveness of masks or face-masks as a means of limiting or
   containing the spread of SARS-COV2 (Covid-19) or similar viral pathogens.

4. Masks – safety
   Please provide also the title, author, date, journal, weblink etc. of any document,
   online or otherwise, held on record by the HSE or under your authority, which
   describes the proven scientific safety of masks or face-masks for this purpose,
   with particular reference to the duration the mask is worn.
5. Social distancing – effectiveness
   Please provide me with a full, accurate and complete list of records, including the
   date of the record, held by the HSE or under your authority, which describe the
   proven scientific effectiveness of social-distancing as a means of limiting or
   containing the spread of SARS-COV2 (Covid-19) or similar viral pathogens.
6. Vaccines – effectiveness
   Please provide me with a full, accurate and complete list of records, including the
   date of the record, held by the HSE or under your authority, which describe the
   proven scientific effectiveness of the vaccine or vaccines which the HSE has
   approved as a means of limiting or containing the spread of SARS-COV2 (Covid19) or providing the recipient with personal immunity against it.
7. Vaccines – safety
   Please provide me with a full, accurate and complete list of records, including the
   date of the record, held by the HSE or under your authority, which describe the
   proven scientific safety of the vaccine or vaccines which the HSE has approved as
   a means of limiting or containing the spread of SARS-COV2 (Covid-19) or
   providing the recipient with personal immunity against it.

8. Virus – isolation
   Please provide me with a full, accurate and complete list of records held by the
   Health Service Executive (HSE) or under the authority of the HSE which describe
   the isolation of the SARS-COV-2 virus (Coronavirus COVID-19), taken directly
   from a symptomatic patient with COVID-19, where the sample was not combined
   or mixed with any other source of genetic material (such as, for example, monkey
   kidney cells or cancer cells), thereby eliminating contamination as a possible
   alternative source of sampling.
   How did the HSE respond?
   In response to requests 1-7 the HSE said:
   “This body does not hold the records which you have sought…
   records concerned do not exist.”
   In response to request 8 the HSE said:
   “Following consultation with my colleagues, both from the
   scientific and medical areas of HPSC [we] can confirm that we
   would hold no records in relation to your request.”
   [Note: HPSC refers to the Health Protection Surveillance Center]
   A copy of the three letters received from the HSE in relation to these requests may be
   found in Appendix B.
   The letters of 7 and 10 January, respectively, contain the following, rather ambiguous,
   paragraphs:
   7 January: This body does not hold the records which you have sought. However,
   I have determined that these records are held by the, Health Protection Regulatory
   Authority (HPRA) and can confirm that I have notified the FOI National Lead
   Office of same who have transferred your FOI request to this body today, 7th
   January 2021.
   10 January: This body does not hold the records which you have sought. However,
   I have determined that these records are held by the, Health Protection Regulatory
   Authority (HPRA) and can confirm that I have notified the FOI National Lead
   Office of same who have transferred your FOI requests FOI C846 – C850 to this
   body today, 8th January 2021. FOI C852/20 will be transferred on Monday 11th
   January 2021.
   

By claiming that an entirely separate organization, the HPRA, does have the records,
the HSE is conceding that NONE of the records are held in any of its own
organization’s files or achives and that critical decisions affecting a number of major
public health policy initiatives were taken by the HSE management in the absence of
such records (including copies thereof).

Under Section 7(1) of the Health Act 2004, which established the HSE as a statutory
body, its “object and functions” are defined as follows:
7.—(1) The object of the Executive is to use the resources available to it in the
most beneficial, effective and efficient manner to improve, promote and
protect the health and welfare of the public.
The HSE is required in law to ensure that the national health policies advocated or
implemented by the government “improve, promote and protect” the health and
welfare of the Irish public. It is inconceivable that the government formulated its
various Covid rules and regulations without consulting the HSE. In fact, given their
impact on national health policy and national health service delivery, it would be illegal
for it to do so. Thus the HSE is legally obliged to retain on its files records and
information which relate to advice provided by it to the government. This would
include all relevant scientific and medical studies which corroborated the professional
judgment exercised by the HSE. And yet, in its replies to our FOI requests, it states
that it has no such records!

It is deeply disturbing to think, for example, that school-children across Ireland are
required to wear face masks for several hours each day on the basis of advice given to
the government which has no scientific validity whatever. Or that schools across
Ireland were shut – in three nationwide lockdowns to date – on the basis of
professional advice provided by the HSE which has no scientific validity. It is even
more disturbing to realize that the HSE approved these highly controversial measures
without bothering to establish whether or not they might, in fact, be harmful!
We could go on and list the countless ways in which normal human behavior has been
constrained, impeded and even rendered illegal in our country on foot of policies
approved by the government, and given the force of law in many instances, on the basis
of professional advice provided by the HSE, advice which – by its own admission –
had no objective scientific support in relation either to its efficacy or to its safety.
The harm inflicted outstrips the largely imaginary benefits
Let us reflect for a moment on the harm that these draconian policies have caused. Our
economy has suffered severe damage, with many otherwise thriving sectors either
driven out of business or brought to the brink of insolvency. Owners of hotels,
restaurants, cafes, bars, cinemas, theatres, catering suppliers, hospitality and tourist
services, and countless other enterprises, have seen their life’s work destroyed. Many
families, which were once self-supporting, are now surviving on government handouts
(‘Covid dole’) and faced with the real prospect of penury if this artificial form of
support is taken away. Social isolation has caused levels of depression to escalate and,
if anecdotal reports are true, a serious increase in the number of suicides and cases of
self-harm. There are also credible anecdotal reports of a marked increase in substance
abuse and domestic violence. Churches have been forced to close or, during times of
official leniency, to conduct their services before small, scattered, mask-wearing
congregations.

Normal human activities have been criminalized and healthy social contact and
interaction within the community, which is essential for our mental and emotional
well-being, is now outlawed or curbed to such a degree that it serves no purpose. Our
elderly are effectively locked in their homes, often living alone, with little prospect of
a visit from anyone outside their “bubble”. The people who built our nation and left a
wonderful heritage to their children, often on foot of much hardship and strife, are
being corralled like livestock. In addition, people who might otherwise have had
serious ailments diagnosed and treated are being neglected by the very hospitals
which, in January 2020, were catering to patients sleeping on trolleys in corridors. The
need is there, and the need is great, but the voices of those most affected have been
silenced.
We are now in our third national “lockdown” – a term normally used only in relation
to prisons and penitentiaries – and there is not the slightest sign that this vile social
experiment is likely to end, at least until everyone takes the vaccine and “merits” a
Covid passport. There will always be another “deadly mutation” to terrify the nation
and keep the masses under subjection.
While most of our population continues to listen to RTE, to read The Irish Times, and
to swallow the bilge which our corrupt government dispenses daily, there is not the
slightest possibility that Ireland will survive the coming disaster. We can only hope
and pray that enough people will come to their senses before this dreadful spiritual
malaise devours the very soul of our nation.

CONCLUSION
The top people in Irish politics are criminals. So too are many top public servants. They
are orchestrating a wicked attack on the Irish people, a crime which they have been
trying to conceal behind impressive medical language and scientific terminology. The
8 FOI requests reveal that the HSE is an emperor with no clothes, that there is no
science behind any of this, and that – if we ever again have an honest government – a
lot of corrupt, well-heeled people are going to spend a long, long time in prison.
