4. What was most unusual about Li Wenliang was that Li was apparently at deathโs door whilst seemingly in perfectly good health.
Images of him were shared across the world with the sole aim of terrifying people due to this killer virus.

5. These images of Li in a hospital bed, connected up to a ventilator appeared at the same time of people collapsing and dying in the streets in China.
This was only the start of what was going to become a propaganda war.

6. In Ireland this is best conveyed by looking at what the Irish Times (IT) did. It is one of Irelandโs biggest newspapers. From March/April 2020 the IT has a section called Covid-19: Lives Lost.
It was undoubtedly the most visited section in the early days of the โpandemicโ.

7. It used to have pride of place in the IT, you could access
it from the main page. Hundreds of stories were told of the people who died of Covid. What was rarely mentioned was the fact that 99% of these people were elderly & more than unlikely had underlying health conditions.

8. However, the โCovid-19: Lives Lostโ section has an underlying purpose which was quite ghoulish. Donโt get me wrong any death is very sad. What they did though was in very poor taste. At the root of it was how they used psychology.

11. This to me is in very poor taste. Not only are they getting people to write in at their most vulnerable but they are also getting the reader to create their content for others to read.
This was a very clever ploy to get the public to buy into the narrative early on.

12. Across the pond in the UK the worst culprit is The Daily Mail.
There have been many common themes running throughout the propaganda campaign for the last 20 months especially when it comes to hospital settings. Hereโs what normally happens. You see a picture of a person..

16. The language in these stories just like in the IT is very emotive where the patients were in a "blind panic" and "gasping for air".
They are often depicted as โvaccine scepticโ who wanted to โturn back timeโ and wished that theyโd had the jab.

17. The most recent propaganda example was the story of the lady whose heart stopped 8 times.
She was then wheeled out in front of the cameras telling everyone to get the v.

18. But it isn't just in Ireland & UK where this is happening. Children are included in the propaganda as well which is unforgivable. The Washington Post ran this story.
Everything seems to be fair game.

19. Non English speaking countries also run the same stories as is evidenced by the story of the 19 stone vegan who died of Covid. The fact that he was 19 stone was omitted from the Irish version of the article
23. It was Shakespeare who wrote "All the world's a stage"
It was also a gentleman by the name of William Shakespeare who was the first male to get the vaccine in the UK in Coventry, 20 miles from Stratford-Upon-Avon, the birthplace of his namesake.
