UK Column Member Rachel — In Conversation with Brian Gerrish | UK Column Interviews
UK Column Member Rachel — In Conversation with Brian Gerrish | UK Column Interviews► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialBrian Gerrish sits down with UK Column member Rachel for a wide-ranging discussion about the state of our world and what we can do about it.This is the second time Rachel has talked with Brian. UK Column supporter and member Rachel last visited the UK Column studio in November 2024 (https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/rachel-speaking-out-from-new-zealand) when she came into our studio for a sit down interview. She called in to say thank you for all of UK Column’s work, especially for keeping her sane during the very dark days of the Covid ‘plandemic’ lockdown. At that time, British-born Rachel was living in New Zealand and visiting the UK. She described to Brian the horrors she saw first hand in New Zealand under Covid restrictions and the public pushback that followed. At the start of 2026, in a relaxed Sunday morning chat, Brian Gerrish again caught up with Rachel and her new life in Australia. Rachel covered a range of topics, including the more relaxed atmosphere ‘down under’ compared to New Zealand, the conversations on the beach, meeting neighbours, the loss of Christmas, being an immigrant, young teenagers banned from social media, her treasured book from the Wellington New Zealand lockdown protests, and more. Rachel is a loyal member of UK Column because she values our news and analysis. Despite seeing people and society changing at a frightening rate, she stays cheerful, spreading a UK Column-style ‘wide awake’ message to her new countrymen and women down under. Thank you to Rachel and her family.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

Plumbing, not vaccines, decreased mortality - Roman Bystrianyk | Jerm Warfare
Plumbing, not vaccines, decreased mortality - Roman Bystrianyk | Jerm Warfare► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialJerm and Roman chat about the long-standing debates around vaccines, especially the smallpox vaccine, questioning the dominant narrative that credits vaccines alone for eradicating disease.They suggest that improved living conditions, sanitation, and nutrition during the 19th-century health revolution played a far bigger role in reducing illness than vaccines did. In fact, there’s no evidence that vaccines had any positive net benefit.Roman’s book, Dissolving Illusions, has been influential in shifting how people see vaccination, highlighting historical data that challenges the idea of vaccines as the primary saviour of public health . The conversation touches on how public perception can take on a cult-like fervour, often ignoring complex factors in favour of simplistic stories.They stress that how data is presented shapes beliefs, and that lifestyle choices are crucial to preventing disease.Ultimately, they argue for greater awareness and education to help people look beyond mainstream claims and think critically about health.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news
