I’ve made a video on Sweden’s death figures. Because it’s taken me longer to make than I thought it would, and because I think it’s important, I’ve decided to just release it straight away rather than going through Patreon and SubscribeStar. You can watch it on any of these links (please share it, especially with […]
John Church, who published a lot here in 2020, has done a video interview with PANDA (aka PanData). He’s very good. If you don’t know about PANDA then they are a fantastic international anti-lockdown group with some top people on their advisory board – Gupta, Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, Townsend, Yeadon, Levitt, and Scott Atlas as well […]
My Wednesday night livestream/podcast the Guff Stream is going very well, and you can tune in tonight to listen at 8pm GMT if you fancy: https://www.youtube.com/HectorDrummondVideos (If you’re late you can still start streaming it.) You can also listen to past episodes at the same place, or at Odysee (a video site like YouTube), or if […]
Note: I’m making this article available to everyone because I think these figures are so important. For a large part of 2020 anti-lockdown proponents argued that Sweden’s death figures showed that Covid-19 wasn’t anywhere near as dangerous as the lockdown fanatics were making out. Such claims were met by an avalanche of trolls who shouted […]
The Guff Stream is going to continue, with myself and co-host Simon Roberts rambling on about the latest guff at 8pm GMT on Wednesdays. You can listen live (or later) on my YouTube channel, where you can also find last week’s episode. This livestream isn’t in the style of my more serious and […]
Now that I’m getting set up to do videos I thought I might as well start doing livestreams/podcasts as well, so I have created a weekly livestream called “The Guff Stream”, where myself and a guest or two will discuss the latest guff in a light-hearted fashion. The first one will be on Wednesday 27th […]
The USA, and the West in general, are in a very bad place. They may never get out of it as the left and Big Tech exerts the control it now has through the White House, Congress and the Senate. 1984 is definitely on the horizon, but before we get too pessimistic, let’s get things […]
There are certain corners of the internet where a very different narrative is going on about what’s going to happen in Washington this week, most notably at Quodverum. There the likes of Thomas Wictor are absolutely convinced that Trump has something up his sleeve for this coming week. These are not the QAnon numpties, in […]
This is a post which has just gone up at my Patreon and Subscribe Star pages. As it’s the the first one in the ‘New Drummond Era’ I’m making it available to everyone so it can act as a sample of my content to people interested in subscribing. For that reason I am happy for […]
I’ve changed the cost per month of a Hector Drummond subscription: the new charge is a measly £2 a month (GBP) at Patreon, or the slightly cheaper price of $2.50 (USD) at SubscribeStar. Less than the cost of a half-pint in a pub, and you can’t even buy those any more. I’d rather have more […]
It didn’t take long from me departing the scene for everything to go to shit, so I’ve decided that duty requires me to return to the front line. It won’t be the same as before, because that was becoming less and less effective, required enormous effort, and wasn’t working financially, so I’m going to change […]
One of the regular contributors on this site in 2020, John Church, has had an academic paper on Covid-19 that he wrote with Prof Raj Bhopal of Edinburgh University accepted by the Lancet. Well done John. The paper can be found at https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3745174.
I’ve now finally accepted, with a very heavy heart, that Hector Drummond is just not viable, and as someone who is not independently wealthy (independently broke is more like it) I can’t justify spending any more of my life on it (both the fiction and the blog). The blog numbers are steadily dwindling after a […]
Here are some new Covid-19 graphs from Christopher Bowyer. These graphs are based on ONS week 44 data (week ending 30 Oct 2020). All graphs can be clicked to enlarge. England and Wales total deaths with Covid-19, by detailed age range. ONS England and Wales Covid-19 deaths as a proportion of all […]
Here are some new Covid-19 graphs from Christopher Bowyer. These graphs use data from NHS England data, which can be found here. (One of the graphs also uses ONS data, and that can be found here.) All graphs can be clicked to enlarge. England deaths with Covid-19 by absence (yellow) or presence (green) of […]
Hector Drummond Magazine reader and contributor Christopher Bowyer has done some more Covid-19 test result graphs based on the data at https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ and NHS England. (All graphs can be clicked to enlarge.) Be aware that the positive test data comes from PHE/NHS Track and Trace, and the reliability of that data is questionable, so take […]
Dustin blogs at www.thecogent.org, and his Twitter is TheCogent1. The controlled demolition of society, named COVID-19, places us at the gates to hell, somewhere between freedom and slavery, fighting a battle for humanity against a government who have become the occupational hazard of being human. In little under eight months, those who go under […]
I’m not sure how long I can keep this blogging and Tweeting going for, I’m spending all my time on Covid and politics and there’s only so long that you can spend all day every day until 4 in the morning and neglecting everything else in your life when you’re not being paid for it. […]
Mark Ashby has sent me a very interesting graph using ONS data. It’s for all-cause deaths per million occurring between January and September (inclusive) for 2006-2020, for England and Wales (click to enlarge). If it were deaths per thousand we’d be looking at about 7.5 per thousand for 2020 vs 7.0 per thousand for […]
Reader Laurence Hodge has sent through (in response to a request made in comments) some graphs looking at SARS-CoV-2 tests done versus positive results. Of course we have to take the positive result numbers with a pinch of salt, but it’s still interesting to see what the relationship is. Here’s the first graph (all graphs […]
