In 2020 Dorset Eye had the temerity to question Boris Johnson and his corporate spinners over his narrative about having Covid. We were accused of all types of things by those who find thinking an inconvenience. That’s okay we are used to it. When any media or voice confronts the propaganda they have to be prepared for a backlash and a sting.
However, at the time some odd things were happening. The propagandists were slipping up and leaving chasms in their stories that invited closer inspection.
And who else but Nadine Dorries started it all off:
As a result the snowball became an avalanche and finally Boris Johnson and his cabinet of liars have been exposed. Boris Johnson cooked a goose for the public but it turned out to be no more than a rat’s arse.
Thanks to Skwawkbox and Stop Lying in Politics our original accusation turns out to be right on the nose.
Follow the trail and see where it takes us:

GLOBAL EXCLUSIVE: Prime Minister Boris Johnson misled the public about the severity of his Covid-19 condition.
Now that we have all had a chance to process #Partygate it is time to reveal what I’m calling #Deathgate.

What were we told about the severity of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Covid-19 condition?
We were previously told that his condition was so severe that his doctors had prepared to announce his death.

Did @BorisJohnson really make this claim?
If not, did the PM benefit from this claim that he did NOT correct for over two years?

Confidential Poll: At the time that it was reported, did you believe that the Prime Minister’s condition was so serious that his doctors prepared to announce his death?

Why I began to question what we had been told about the severity of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Covid-19 condition.

The ITU consultant I spoke to also told me that a Covid patient who had been close to death would likely have a recovery profile that included lung damage and difficulty speaking at length.

I decided I had to investigate.
St Thomas’s did confirm he’d been admitted there so I was wrong to suspect that. It wasn’t the best written tweet!
But, I was right about something.https://t.co/dRi0MKzzBx

And @BarristerSecret was of the view I had misunderstood the FOI Act. https://t.co/SAyHCrbQ2E

Was I a “stupid twat” who didn’t understand the FOI Act? Or was I onto something?
As far as I know, nobody has ever used the FOI Act to successfully request a search of somebody’s medical records before, certainly not a PM’s. But that’s exactly what we did.

So, did St Thomas’s Hospital hold any evidence of preparations to announce @BorisJohnson‘s death?

But what if the recorded preparations/strategy/or contingency plans to announce the Prime Minister’s death had been deleted? Or what if they were made vocally?
Luckily, the hard work had already been done. Read these emails for the answer: pic.twitter.com/Ns9ndDwyEs

Why would PM Johnson have pushed the story that he almost died when actually, according to him now, his condition was“…really mild…”?

Could a severe health threat cause once critical journalists and members of the public to completely change their attitude?@piersmorgan was trying to do the right thing here. Was he used?https://t.co/2fo9OAUkW4

Confidential Poll: After you heard that the Prime Minister almost died and that his condition was so severe that his doctors were preparing to announce his death, did you feel more sympathetic towards him &/or less angry about his failings at the beginning of the pandemic?

Confidential Poll:
For you, was #Partygate or #Deathgate a bigger abuse of the public trust invested into the duties and powers of our public office holding Prime Minister by bringing his office into disrepute?
From at death’s door to mild just because people bothered to properly investigate the lie.
And Boris Johnson admits it himself:
Johnson to MPs, “I nearly died from covid”
— Farrukh (@implausibleblog) March 23, 2023
Johnson to gb news, “Whatever happened to me was really mild by comparison with the experience of so many other people, so many thousands of other people in this country.” pic.twitter.com/qG6JKwwEby
The moral of the story?
Don’t believe the corporate distraction and lie machine. Only the Independent media really cares about the truth.
