Was Boris Johnson sick in 2020?

From death's door to really mild

The following extract is from a previous article entitled Is the Freedom Movement Together? but for direct reference it needs its own link.

In March of 2020 the British public was informed that the Prime Minister, the Health Secretary, and the Prince of Wales, had all contracted the alleged novel coronavirus in the week that the country was asked to lockdown. The lockdown officially began on the 23^rd March. Charles returned a positive test on the 26th, with Johnson and Hancock reporting theirs the following day. This remarkable turn of events presented something of a publicity coup for advocates of the lockdown, reminding the public that nobody was immune from the much vaunted pestilence. Furthermore the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was admitted to St. Thomas Hospital in London and reported to be in intensive care.

On April 12th, 2020 Johnson made a video statement asserting that “the NHS has saved my life, no question.” On May 2^nd, 2020 he told the Sun on Sunday newspaper that doctors had “prepared to announce his death as he battled coronavirus.” This does not appear to have been true. As Johnson made this comment in the public domain, investigative journalist Marcus J Ball was able to query it by FOI request. St Thomas Hospital confirmed that no preparations had been made to announce Johnson's death.

After Johnson became aware of Ball's investigation and St Thomas Hospital's FOI response, he described his illness as “really mild,” when talking to Esther McVey and Philip Davies of GB News in April 2022.

In a document dated 22^nd March, 2020, (a few days before the beginning of the spate of illnesses among high profile british political figures), SAGE had discussed how “A substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened” and advised the government to “use media to increase sense of personal threat.”

From this document alone, it is clear that the public were being monitored and that it is possible that there were plans to manipulate their responses.
