Dr. Yeadon, are you aware of the paper Fauci coauthored in 2009 on the 1918 influenza pandemic titled, “Predominant Role of Bacterial Pneumonia as a Cause of Death in Pandemic Influenza: Implications for Pandemic Influenza Preparedness” (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2599911/)? They concluded that a substantial portion of the deaths were not caused by the virus but rather by bacterial pneumonia—which, as you know, can be caused by mask-wearing (a fact Fauci no doubt knew when he pivoted to the pro-masking talking point).

Yes, thank you, I had seen it & was aware that arguably there’s never been a respiratory viral pandemic as we’d previously have defined it (very many deaths over & above the usual elevated winter levels).

As you rightly point out, 1918 appears to have involved mass scale bacterial pneumonias in a pre-antibiotic era.

The 1950s & 1960s flu bugs had many deaths ascribed to them, but painstaking research by Canadian Dr Denis Rancourt found that none gave a rise in all-cause mortality.

Fascinating info about the 1950s and 60s bugs and all-cause mortality! I assume those passed with minimal fanfare due to the development of natural herd immunity. Thank you for the pointer to Dr. Denis Rancourt.

On another note, I’m not sure if you saw my previous comments asking about the possibility of doing an interview. CJ will be my first subject in this new series, but I’d love to interview you after that. If you’re interested, you can sign up for my blog (which I think you’d appreciate if you haven’t already peeked) and reply to the welcome email so we can discuss in more detail. Thank you!

Thank you for the invitation but I’m choosing not to do new interviews at the moment and doing a bit more here. I’ve been interviewed perhaps 50X, and while Dr McCullough is over 500 !!!! I’m just all done in at the moment. I was quite ill over the late summer & my wife asked me to slow down rather than make myself unwell. I’d retired early, in 2017, because I’d already experienced a life-threatening illness, rescued by skilful surgery, but all far from ideal when facing this nonsense.

I might change my mind (I will feel guilty soon, I expect) so if you notice new interviews, do get in touch.

I post often through a Telegram channel called “Robin Monotti + Dr Mike Yeadon”. In fact, I just shared the paper you reminded me of already!

Best wishes, Mike

Ps: I’m told the interview which was most seen was given to DayStar TV with Joni & Marcus Lamb, evangelists with an audience over 100 million, if I’ve recalled it correctly. I’ve not been good at keeping copies of interviews & articles, but a kind guy in Russia has scoured the net & found half of them!

Yesterday, I bumped into a young woman who recognised me & says she was Polish & had been following me for over a year. She’d added Polish subtitles to one of my interviews & said her mother in Poland had just been red-pilled after watching it. I was no more than 2km from home, so that was a helluva coincidence.

I'm curious about you visa problems -- you should be able to get an O1A without any trouble. (immigration's my job, unless they fire me soon for being unvaxxed...)

I got the O-1 speedily enough. The barrier is securing a non immigrant visa interview, after which the visa is physically franked into the passport.

I’ve not found a US embassy / consulate which would agree an appointment earlier than 8 months away.

Oh, I see. You're not already in the states.....do still make your appointment, anyway, even if it's a lost cause. If you can get here in a visitor status (B1/B2) you can file for a change of status into O1 once you're here. I see it all the time. I do wonder how people are getting in. There might be a small window before we mandate vax for all entries.

Dr. Yeadon (Mike, if I may :-), thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful response. You absolutely should not feel guilty for doing what is best for you! I am so sorry about your health challenges and am glad you are doing what is necessary to care for yourself. We desperately need you in this fight and want to ensure you stay healthy—especially considering what a grave risk you’re taking by speaking out like you have.

I recently declined an invitation to do a livestream interview with a prominent former YouTuber (now banned), so I totally understand your decision. Having spent the previous week trying to recover from the deluge that occurred after three of my articles went viral (thanks to Lew Rockwell, The Burning Platform, ZeroHedge, and American Digest publishing them, among others), I realized I wasn’t quite ready for that level of visibility. I had two 24-hour marathons in a row last week just trying to keep up, and it was taking a toll on both my health and creative time, which I try to be very protective of.

That said, if and when you change your mind, know that I conduct interviews in written form, so I would send the questions to you, and you would have the luxury of answering them at your convenience, even if it takes months. I’m in no hurry as I have a massive number of articles, interviews, and other projects on my todo list.

Meanwhile, I hope to see you at my blog if and when you have time to explore :-) My fairy tale (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/the-vapor-the-hot-hat-and-the-witches) was partly inspired by what I learned from you, as are most of my other pieces, such as Letter to a Colluder: Stop Enabling Tyranny (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-colluder-stop-enabling) and Letter to a Covidian (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-covidian-a-time-travel). Perhaps you can share Letter with a Colluder to all your scientific colleagues you mentioned who are too afraid to speak out :-)

How wonderful to hear you’ve teamed up with Robin Monotti! I have referenced his excellent documentary work and will continue to do so, I’m sure. I’m not on Telegram as of yet but may need to investigate at some point, time permitting.

Will you be starting a Substack blog? Or is there a way to sign up for your existing newsletter? I had trouble finding it when searching but learned about its existence when OffGuardian published a piece from it a while back.

If you are able to share the links to the DayStar TV interview as well as the Polish-translated one you mention below, I’d love to see them!
