Yesterday’s all-day conference at St Pierre Park was hosted by GB News presenter Neil Oliver and included a packed agenda of speakers. All 350 tickets were sold in advance and organisers admitted a large number of people on the day who had missed out on tickets online.
Jo Robinson, one of the organisers, said they had been pleased but not surprised by the turnout.
‘The conference was considerably bigger than originally planned, but in a good way, because there has been so much interest and so much people need to share,’ she said.
‘These two days are about trying to return some debate and some science to the issue, and talking about what’s been suppressed up to now.’
She said she understood why some people might have chosen to stay away from what they saw as controversial or a conspiracy.
‘It’s a propaganda term. It’s very easy, the easiest thing, if you’re feeling threatened, just to label someone. We saw this throughout the pandemic, it was the pandemic of the unvaccinated, and I think most people now realise that not everything we were told was correct.
‘We all understand it was a difficult time for everybody. But if we’re not learning from what’s coming out and emerging since then, engaging with the emerging data and evidence, and helping those who are saying that this is strange, then, as a society, where’s our humanity gone?’
Speakers tackled subjects from cancer protocols, treatment innovations for vaccine injuries, Long Covid and spike-related illness.
One of the attendees, who asked not to be named, said that he was well aware his views on Covid had caused rifts within his own family and friends.
‘I just ask people to do their own research. It’s perfectly clear there is a change in the perception and the public are hearing the incorruptible facts that are emerging,’ he said.
‘Most of the facts that are being discussed I was well aware of, but what has been striking is to hear everything together in such tremendous detail.’
Another attendee said they had gone in to the conference with an open mind.
‘I just wanted to find out more. While some of what I’ve heard I thought wasn’t completely convincing, I don’t think you can ignore the genuine belief from speakers that the pandemic was mishandled and that we have not been told the absolute truth.’
