Ivermectin: The Sir Humphrey Tapes
'Episode One: Silence is Golden
SIR HUMPHREY: You asked to see me, Minister?
MINISTER: Ah, Humphrey. I’ve just learned something that has left me deeply concerned. Actually, I’m appalled.
SIR HUMPHREY. Oh yes, the cap on ministers’ emoluments. Absolutely shocking, Minister.
MINISTER: No, Humphrey, this is much more serious. It seems we, the government, have been holding back an anti-viral drug that could have nipped the Covid pandemic in the bud. Thousands of lives and billions of pounds could have been saved. Any mention of the drug has been rigorously kept out of the media.

The Safety of COVID-19 Vaccinations - We Should Rethink the Policy
Abstract
Background: COVID-19 vaccines have had expedited reviews without sufficient safety data. We wanted to compare risks and benefits. Method: We calculated the number needed to vaccinate (NNTV) from a large Israeli field study to prevent one death. We accessed the Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) database of the European Medicines Agency and of the Dutch National Register (lareb.nl) to extract the number of cases reporting severe side effects and the number of cases with fatal side effects. Result: The NNTV is between 200–700 to prevent one case of COVID-19 for the mRNA vaccine marketed by Pfizer, while the NNTV to prevent one death is between 9000 and 50,000 (95% confidence interval), with 16,000 as a point estimate. The number of cases experiencing adverse reactions has been reported to be 700 per 100,000 vaccinations. Currently, we see 16 serious side effects per 100,000 vaccinations, and the number of fatal side effects is at 4.11/100,000 vaccinations. For three deaths prevented by vaccination we have to accept two inflicted by vaccination. Conclusions: This lack of clear benefit should cause governments to rethink their vaccination policy.

'...The MHRA now has more than enough evidence on the Yellow Card system to declare the COVID-19 vaccines unsafe for use in humans....'
9 June 2021
OPEN LETTER TO DR RAINE, THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE MHRA FROM DR TESS LAURIE (Director, Evidence-based Medicine Consultancy Ltd and EbMC Squared CiC Bath, UK)
'...We are sharing this preliminary report due to the urgent need to communicate information that should lead to cessation of the vaccination roll out while a full investigation is conducted....'
'...The MHRA now has more than enough evidence on the Yellow Card system to declare the COVID-19 vaccines unsafe for use in humans. Preparation should be made to scale up humanitarian efforts to assist those harmed by the COVID-19 vaccines and to anticipate and ameliorate medium to longer term effects. As the mechanism for harms from the vaccines appears to be similar to COVID-19 itself, this includes engaging with numerous international doctors and scientists with expertise in successfully treating COVID-19.
There are at least 3 urgent questions that need to be answered by the MHRA:
1 How many people have died within 28 days of vaccination?
2 How many people have been hospitalised within 28 days of vaccination?
3 How many people have been disabled by the vaccination?
EbMC Squared CiC remains at your service to assist with further analysis. We kindly request full access to the Yellow Card database with immediate effect to enable a comprehensive, independent and accurate evaluation of the Yellow Card data, which will be undertaken in collaboration with clinical experts…'

Should Government mandate COVID-19 vaccines?
February 2021.
The following questions (in red type), or very similar, have been posed to JABS since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic back in March 2020.
To respond to these questions it has been necessary to provide some examples of the current technical issues and concerns as well as scientific, medical and legal opinions from here and abroad which may offer the reader of these limited notes a starting point to conduct their own research.
- What do you think are the main reasons for vaccine hesitancy or refusal of the currently available Coronavirus vaccines?
Vaccines are a complex mixture of biological and reactive chemicals that are injected into adults and children. Injection allows the ingredients to bypass the natural portals of entry and the normal protective filters such as the lungs, digestive organs and the skin. This method of delivery permits the ingredients contained in vaccines to enter the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier.
I believe the general public, through their own research, are now becoming aware that vaccines contain known neurotoxins like aluminium, chemically and genetically altered viruses, antibiotics, preservatives, detergents, stabilisers, neutralisers, carrying agents, Polysorbate 80, PEG, MSG, formaldehyde, glyphosate and other potentially harmful ingredients.
Of growing concern for the public is the lack of science when vaccines have not been tested for carcinogenicity – the ability to cause cancer; toxicity – the degree to which a substance can damage an organism; genotoxicity – the ability to damage genetic information; mutagenicity – ability to change the genetic material; the impact on fertility, or for long-term adverse reactions.
America’s Frontline Doctors White Paper On Experimental Vaccines For COVID-19

Simone Gold, MD, JD, James Todaro, MD, Lee Merritt, MD, Richard Urso, MD, Robin Armstrong, MD, Scott Barbour, MD, Jeff Barke, MD, Mark McDonald, MD, Teryn Clark, MD, Shelley Cole, MD, Geoff Mitchell, MD, JD
“…This document represents the preliminary findings of an investigation conducted by the member-physicians of America's Frontline Doctors.
We are recommending caution for patients and policy makers and employers. Additional transparency and more research are needed before we ask Americans to embark on the largest experimental medical program in US history. The unknowns must be addressed through a scientifically rigorous process.
Mandates for experimental medical therapies are neither permissible nor advisable. Ordinary Americans should not be compelled to sign up for a "vaccine passport" or similar mandate just to travel on an airplane or see a concert with friends. The potential for third-party abuse of private health information and real medical risk to individuals remains much too high. Concentrations of private power pose a threat to privacy and other civil liberties and policy makers must proceed with caution…”
Alliance for Natural Health write:
“…Many people have become familiar with 3 vaccines, all based on novel, ‘next generation’, rather than ‘classical’, platforms. Two of them are messenger RNA (mRNA) based, one by Pfizer/BioNTech, the other from Moderna. These contain a synthetic sequence of messenger RNA that is concealed within novel lipid nanoparticle delivery systems that, after entering the ribosomes (that house the transcription machinery of the cells) of the muscle cells into which the vaccine is injected then instruct the muscle cells to produce a copy of the spike protein of the virus. In essence, it means that the human body becomes the vaccine factory and there is no longer a need to grow the virus on hens’ eggs, the current production system still widely used for many more classical vaccines like the seasonal flu vaccine.
The third frontrunner is the Non-Replicating Viral Vector vaccine by the AstraZeneca/Oxford University group, using a genetically modified (non-replicating) chimpanzee common cold Trojan horse into which is inserted a synthetic sequence of spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
However, according to the World Health Organization’s Draft landscape of COVID-19 candidate vaccines there are currently 64 candidate vaccines in clinical development with a further 173 in pre-clinical development, these relying on 8 different vaccine platforms in addition to the two already relied on by the 3 frontrunners. Most (31%) rely on the more conventional protein subunit platform that has been widely used for seasonal influenza vaccines…
…There has been no public debate on the ethics around introducing synthetic genetic material directly into humans by injection, bypassing the human gut, that, during our evolution, has been the primary interface with the capacity to determine what molecules, organisms or viruses are friend or foe, a task that is performed admirably by a coalition of commensal human and microbial cells (our microbiome).
Democracy has been suspended as the world is held for months on end in an emergency state, supported by the World Health Organization’s continued declaration of pandemic status. Selective reporting by the media and censorship of social media have obfuscated any possibility of scientific and public discourse. Any discourse that has occurred has been easily disregarded by the establishment as pseudoscience or conspiracy theory. This doesn’t bode well for an open or transparent world in which diverse views and ideas are shared with the hope of reaching consensus. It is divisive and polarising.
There has been grossly inadequate research on the effects of the nanomaterial delivery systems being used in the mRNA vaccines. It is quite extraordinary, and certainly disproportionate, that any food or supplement manufacturer that wants to deliver nano-sized (sub 100 nm diameter) particles via the oral route, has to go through extensive and onerous testing to verify the safety of their nano-sized particles, even if they are chemically identical to their non-nano counterparts. Yet foods are inherently many times safer than drugs and are not administered directly to the circulation like injected vaccines. So how did the vaccine makers manage to fast-track the onerous process of proving safety of their nanomaterial delivery system for their synthetic mRNA when so much is asked of food manufacturers and all of the opinions and decisions by regulators are placed in the public domain? Is it anything to do with that well-known revolving door?..."
In a recent article in the Defender (Children’s Health Defence)
Could Spike Protein in Moderna, Pfizer Vaccines Cause Blood Clots, Brain Inflammation and Heart Attacks?
Dr. J. Patrick Whelan, a pediatric rheumatologist, warned the FDA in December that mRNA vaccines could cause microvascular injury to the brain, heart, liver and kidneys in ways not assessed in safety trials.
“…In his public submission, Whelan sought to alert the FDA about the potential for vaccines designed to create immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to instead cause injuries.
Specifically, Whelan was concerned that the new mRNA vaccine technology utilized by Pfizer and Moderna has “the potential to cause microvascular injury (inflammation and small blood clots called microthrombi) to the brain, heart, liver and kidneys in ways that were not assessed in the safety trials.”
While Whelan did not dispute the vaccines’ potential to quickly arrest the spread of the virus (assuming that the vaccines prove to actually prevent transmission — also not assessed in the clinical trials), he cautioned that “it would be vastly worse if hundreds of millions of people were to suffer long-lasting or even permanent damage to their brain or heart microvasculature as a result of failing to appreciate in the short-term an unintended effect of full-length spike protein-based vaccines on other organs.”…
…Worryingly, several studies have found that the spike proteins alone have the capacity to cause widespread injury throughout the body, without any evidence of virus.
What makes this finding so disturbing is that the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines manufactured by Moderna and Pfizer and currently being administered throughout the U.S. [also in the UK] programs our cells to manufacture this same coronavirus spike protein as a way to trigger our bodies to produce antibodies to the virus.
According to Whelan’s letter to the FDA, the “Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is composed of an mRNA that produces a membrane-anchored full-length spike protein.”
A landmark study in Nature Neuroscience, published a few days after Whelan’s letter, found that the commercially obtained COVID-19 spike protein (S1) injected into mice readily crossed the blood-brain barrier, was found in all 11 brain regions examined and entered the parenchymal brain space (the functional tissue in the brain).
The researchers acknowledged that such widespread entry into the brain could explain the diverse neurological effects of S1 such as encephalitis, respiratory difficulties and anosmia (the loss of smell). The injected spike protein was also found in the lung, spleen, kidney and liver of the mice.
A second study published in December, 2020, in Neurobiology of Disease reported that the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins showed a direct negative impact on endothelial cells and provide “plausible explanations” for the neurological consequences observed in patients with COVID-19.
The researchers demonstrated that the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a known binding target for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, is “ubiquitously expressed throughout various vessel calibers in the frontal cortex.”
In another investigation, researchers studying brain tissues from 13 fatal COVID-19 cases found pseudovirions (spike, envelope and membrane proteins without viral RNA) present in the endothelia of microvessels of all 13 brains. They concluded that ACE2+ endothelial damage is a central part of SARS-CoV-2 pathology and may be induced by the spike protein alone. Injection of the full-length S1 spike subunit in the tail vein of mice, as part of the same study, led to neurologic signs (increased thirst, stressed behavior)…”
2. What could be done to address these concerns?
Pre-licensure testing: Generally, all drugs licensed by the MHRA undergo long-term double-blind pre-licensure clinical trials during which the rate of adverse reactions in the group receiving the drug under review is compared to the rate of adverse reactions in a group receiving an inert placebo, such as a sugar pill or saline injection.
In contrast, vaccines in general are not required to undergo long-term double-blind inert-placebo controlled trials to assess safety. Further, most vaccines currently in use in the UK have been approved based on studies with inadequate follow-up periods of only a few days, weeks or months. The real vaccine trials begin when the vaccines are rolled out over the population. This is the case with the experimental COVID-19 vaccines.
3. Do you think reluctance to be vaccinated may change over time once vaccines have been used for longer periods in the population, and if found effective and safe?
Post licensure surveillance: The lack of long-term comprehensive pre-licensure safety data leaves the assessment of vaccine safety to the post-licensing period when they are being administered to the public on a routine basis. In theory the system should work to flag up all serious problems with these experimental products - the guidelines advise that all suspected reactions should be reported.
In the past the passive surveillance system has been largely ineffective in reporting the serious suspected side effects of vaccinations, estimated to be between 2 and 10 percent in the UK and as little as 1% in the US.
It should be a legal requirement for all suspected vaccine adverse reactions, not just COVID vaccine reactions, to be reported instead of medical professionals making their own on-the-spot judgement, this would help to avoid the problems of under-reporting. Currently medical practices and organisations may well be conflicted by the financial entitlements paid to doctors and medics for vaccinating those registered with the practice/organisation. This type of target based payment system may contribute to the high level of under-reporting of yellow cards.
All reported suspected adverse reactions should be routinely followed-up by the MHRA making contact with the patient’s doctor to ensure the individual has fully recovered or to assess the situation further. This could provide invaluable information and help to clarify which vaccines might cause harm and to whom, potentially avoiding future injuries and deaths.
There is also the concern that COVID vaccine might contribute to ‘pathogenic priming’. According to Alliance for Natural Health:
“…’Pathogenic priming’ is a term that is more scientifically described as antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of disease. In short form, it means that after infection or vaccination, a person can experience more serious, enhanced disease after being exposed to the pathogen to which they have either become immune, or that the vaccine was intended to protect against. When the enhancement is specifically related to a vaccine, it’s often called vaccine-associated hypersensitivity (VAH).
It’s an unsettling reality because it’s caused by the antibodies that normally do a great job in quelling the pathogen. It doesn’t occur in the case of most viruses (or vaccines), but has been found to occur in the case of 40 viruses. Among these are dengue viruses and coronaviruses, including SARS and MERS. The mechanisms by which it occurs are both varied and complex, but central is either an enhancement of viral entry and subsequent inactivation of innate immune cells, and/or the enhancement of infection via a key receptor on immune cells known as the Fcγ receptor (FcγR) to which Fc portions on antibodies bind. Five different mechanisms causing this to happen have been identified so far.
VAH or ADE is one reason why dengue vaccines as well as those for SARS and MERS, the latter being caused by coronaviruses, haven’t made it commercially. They were just too dangerous, no longer necessary (because SARS and MERS had waned naturally) or they were too late in being delivered. There was no Operation Warp Speed for SARS and MERS.
There should be genuine concern over the risk of VAH/ADE with covid vaccines, yet the results from Phase 3 trials that triggered emergency authorisation around the world are not sufficient to properly evaluate its risk. The fact that only hundreds (not tens of thousands) of people for each vaccine who have been vaccinated have also been exposed to wild SARS-CoV-2 is not sufficient to know if particular sub-groups of people could be susceptible to disease enhancement following exposure to the virus.
Nowhere near enough time has elapsed either. The Phase 3 trial results are only enough to know that VAH/ADE isn’t going to affect the majority and that’s at least something. But those in the community who are currently being vaccinated with the experimental vaccines are in essence the ‘guinea pigs’, and the existence or the extent of the problem will not be known until many of those vaccinated have already been exposed to the virus. That’s months and years away…”
4. Rights to employment, education, travel and social life could potentially be restricted for people refusing to be vaccinated against the Coronavirus. Does this amount to de facto mandatory vaccination and, if so, why?
Coercion and blackmail hold no place in a democratic, civilised society and would actually break the law.
According to Medical Freedom Alliance
The Montgomery Judgement and Informed Consent
This Supreme Court judgement of Montgomery v Lanarkshire (2015) changed the standards of consent. The key passages from Montgomery Judgement state:
“...The doctor is therefore under a duty to take reasonable care to ensure that the patient is aware of any material risks involved in any recommended treatment, and of any reasonable alternative or variant treatments....”
“The test of materiality is whether, in the circumstances of the particular case, a reasonable person in the patient's position would be likely to attach significance to the risk, or the doctor is or should reasonably be aware that the particular patient would be likely to attach significance to it.”
Before Montgomery, a doctor's duty to warn patients of risks was based on whether they had acted in line with a responsible body of medical opinion - known as the “Bolam test”. Now, doctors must provide information about all material risks to which a reasonable person in the patient's position would attach significance. This puts the patient at the centre of consent process, as their understanding of material risk must be considered.
If doctors fail to properly discuss the risks and alternative treatments with the patient, this renders them personally responsible for damages. e.g.
General Medical Council Guidance - Decision Making and Consent (2020)
https://www.gmc-uk.org/ethical-guidance/ethical-guidance-for-doctors/decision-making-and-consent)
This states that doctors MUST attempt to find out what matters to patients, so they can share information about the benefits and harms of proposed options and reasonable alternatives.
Note the word MUST makes this a legally binding directive.
GMC Guidance states doctors MUST address the following information:
- a) Recognise risks of harm that you believe anyone in the patient’s position would want to know. You’ll know these already from your professional knowledge and experience.
- b) The effect of the patient’s individual clinical circumstances on the probability of a benefit or harm occurring. If you know the patient’s medical history, you’ll know some of what you need to share already, but the dialogue could reveal more.
- c) Risks of harm and potential benefits that the patient would consider significant for any reason. These will be revealed during your discussion with the patient about what matters to them.
- d) Any risk of serious harm, however unlikely it is to occur.
- e) Expected harms, including common side effects and what to do if they occur.
5. Could some restrictions be justified? For example, would mandating Coronavirus vaccination for employees in sensitive jobs like health or aged care be acceptable (allowing for reasonable exemptions for those unable to be vaccinated)?
A reasonable question to ask employers is: are they aware of the known short-term and long-term side effects of the experimental vaccines and have they conducted or commissioned risk-assessments for adverse vaccine reactions for each employee? All vaccines should be on a totally voluntary basis as none are risk-free and none are guaranteed to work. The right to informed consent is on the statute books and that should be respected by employers.
In such circumstances comprehensive information should be made available to all employees regarding available prophylaxis treatments (e.g. Ivermectin), which must be subject to an individual medical risk-assessment and informed consent, as alternatives to experimental vaccines only.
The current development of alternative treatments for coronavirus:
1. Ivermectin
“…The FLCCC then recently discovered that ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medicine, has highly potent anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties against COVID-19…”
2. Nasal sprays
“…A nasal spray that can provide effective protection against the COVID-19 virus has been developed by researchers at the University of Birmingham, using materials already cleared for use in humans…”
“…Australian researchers are testing a breakthrough treatment for Covid-19 derived from the humble pineapple. Cancer specialist Professor David Morris, from St George Hospital in Sydney, and his team have repurposed a drug he had already developed to treat cancer patients…”

Immunologist: Pfizer, Moderna Vaccines Could Cause Long-Term Chronic Illness
In new research published in Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, immunologist J. Bart Classen warns the mRNA technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines could create “new potential mechanisms” of adverse events that may take years to come to light.
“…In a new research article published in Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, veteran immunologist J. Bart Classen expresses similar concerns and writes that “RNA-based COVID vaccines have the potential to cause more disease than the epidemic of COVID-19.”
For decades, Classen has published papers exploring how vaccination can give rise to chronic conditions such as Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes — not right away, but three or four years down the road.
In this latest paper, Classen warns that the RNA-based vaccine technology could create “new potential mechanisms” of vaccine adverse events that may take years to come to light.
Classen’s study establishes the potential for the messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna to activate human proteins to take on “pathologic configurations” — configurations associated with chronic degenerative neurological diseases. Although his specific interest is in prion diseases (conditions associated with misfolded versions of normal proteins), Classen also outlines a handful of other mechanisms whereby RNA-based vaccines could give rise to “multiple other potential fatal adverse events.”
Ensuring that patients clearly understand risks — including known risks as well as potential unknown risks — is an important component of the informed consent process. This is all the more true when the intervention is experimental and lacks long-term safety data, as is the case with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines against COVID-19. The FDA authorized the two vaccines for widespread emergency use based on just two months of clinical trial data..."
The UK Medical Freedom Alliance has written to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Security:
Re: Urgent warning re Covid-19 vaccine-related deaths in the elderly and Care Homes
“In our Open Letter of 23 November 2020, addressed to the MHRA, JCVI and Matt Hancock, we outlined our concerns of potential public health risks from a mass roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccines because of only limited short-term safety data and no long-term safety data.
In this letter we draw to your attention the mounting evidence that the public health risks we identified may be materialising.
We now call for an immediate and urgent audit of deaths that have occurred since the beginning of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to ascertain if Covid-19 vaccines (in general or any one brand in particular) are leading to an increased number of deaths (Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 related), Covid- 19 cases or increased risk of death in certain age groups or cohorts.
Among our concerns in our previous Open Letter, we raised the potential issues of:
1. Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) induced by the vaccines causing more severe Covid-19, with increased hospitalisations and deaths in the weeks or months after vaccinations.
2. The lack of safety data on elderly people with multiple comorbidities. This cohort was under represented and a statistically insignificant group in the clinical vaccine trials . We postulated that there may be increased vaccine side-effects in this group, which would only become apparent when many thousands of them had received vaccinations.
3. The absence of any safety data regarding those who have already had Covid-19, and the possibility that prior immunity may lead to increased side-effects from the Covid-19 vaccines….”
6. The right to bodily integrity is not absolute, and mandating vaccination to protect a population in a public health pandemic can sometimes be justified under international law, for example to protect the lives of others. Where do you think the line should be drawn between individual and group rights?
The right to bodily integrity is absolute. This is fully supported by the UK’s Supreme Court ruling on the right to informed consent. With experimental COVID-19 vaccines other international rulings like the Nuremberg code would also apply.

Can the government force you to have the coronavirus vaccine?
Barrister Daniel Barnett
'...During this video, you'll learn:
- whether there's ever been compulsory vaccination in the UK
- whether the current law allows for compulsory vaccination
- whether Parliament could pass legislation to compel vaccincations
- whether there's truth in the rumour that the government could use the Mental Health Act to section people who refuse to have the vaccine
- what's happening in the US ..'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baBrzN7d3qw
7. Some travel companies and airlines are planning to request vaccination travel certificates in order to use their services. Is this different from government-imposed restrictions, and if so why? Is it acceptable?
It would be wholly unacceptable. The article below from the BMJ clearly explains that ‘none of the trials currently under way are designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospital admissions, use of intensive care, or deaths….nor are the vaccines being studied to determine whether they can interrupt transmission of the virus’.
In response to the pathologisation of perfectly healthy people, I would put forward these two large and official epidemiological studies showing zero transmission from so called asymptomatic carriers.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-19802-w... and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32513410/.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, U.S. Director of National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease stated: "In all the history of respiratory-borne viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person." - https://youtu.be/JIOzN03ZWXY
If a travel company or airline wants to persist with this biologically implausible position that a perfectly healthy person showing no symptoms whatsoever, is a risk to others then the onus is on the company or airline to provide actual scientific studies (not models or conjecture or imaginings) showing otherwise.
8. The UK (and other) governments have exempted Coronavirus manufacturers from liability for vaccine damage, citing the urgent need for speedy development and low prices for vaccines (while offering limited government compensation). Is such an exemption justified? Is adequate compensation an important factor influencing willingness to accept a vaccination?
Such an exemption is not justified. If the manufacturers have faith in their products to be both safe and effective they should be prepared to back this up with their own money. The government’s limited vaccine damage payment awards are funded by the tax-payer.
The Department of Health, unfortunately, is in charge of two competing duties. On one hand it is responsible for vaccine safety. On the other hand it is responsible for promoting vaccine development, uptake and also defending against any claim of vaccine damage.
Regrettably, it appears that the Government has chosen to focus almost entirely on its vaccine promotion and defence function to such a degree that it has essentially abandoned its vaccine safety responsibility.
To restore balance, the Government must take serious steps to create an “ethics firewall” between these competing functions. The Government must also take action with regard to the JCVI and those in the MHRA (committee members/employees) that have direct and indirect conflicts of interest with vaccine manufacturers. In the interests of transparency and clarity the regulatory authorities should be totally independent of government and pharmaceutical industry influence.
Covid-19: politicisation, “corruption,” and suppression of science

“When good science is suppressed by the medical-political complex, people die Politicians and governments are suppressing science. They do so in the public interest, they say, to accelerate availability of diagnostics and treatments. They do so to support innovation, to bring products to market at unprecedented speed. Both of these reasons are partly plausible; the greatest deceptions are founded in a grain of truth. But the underlying behaviour is troubling.
Science is being suppressed for political and financial gain. Covid-19 has unleashed state corruption on a grand scale, and it is harmful to public health.1 Politicians and industry are responsible for this opportunistic embezzlement. So too are scientists and health experts. The pandemic has revealed how the medical-political complex can be manipulated in an emergency—a time when it is even more important to safeguard science…”

“…Appearing in the midst of these struggles for and against mandatory vaccination, the outbreak of COVID-19, whatever may have caused it, has provided the drug industry and its seemingly philanthropic, wealthy benefactors the perfect, almost heaven-sent opportunity to achieve their ultimate goals, as grandly set forth in the WHO Prospectus:
Immunization is a global health and development success story, saving millions of lives every year. It is the foundation of the primary health care system, an indisputable human right, and one of the best investments that money can buy. With the support of countries and partners, WHO is leading the creation of a new global strategy for the next decade. It envisions a world in which everyone, everywhere, and at every age fully benefits from vaccination to improve health and well-being.56
By proclaiming COVID-19 to be a pandemic, and a global health emergency, the CDC, the WHO, the vaccine industry, and their super-rich donors have succeeded not only in creating an atmosphere of fear and urgency, but in prolonging the economic shutdown that it inspires, and thereby bringing about the real-world conditions for the general public in most of the world to long for a vaccine as their only hope to escape from the crisis and return to a semblance of the life they were forced to leave behind…”
9. There has been some negative publicity concerning the views of often loosely-defined ‘anti-vaxxers’. For example, some are propagating the idea that vaccines implant micro-chips or are associated with companies are trying to selling alternative health products. Have you encountered prejudice towards your organisation for questioning the need for vaccination (regarding the Coronavirus or other vaccines)? Is social media helpful or otherwise for circulating information on the Coronavirus vaccine?
It is common practice for governments and the pharmaceutical industry to try and silence and alienate those who challenge their narrative that all vaccines are “safe and effective”. Hence, leading politicians resort either directly or indirectly, through a compliant media, to attack groups or individuals by labelling them as “anti-vaxxers”. This is a blatant tactic to embarrass, expose, encourage and convince people that their views and concerns are misguided. I would certainly question why any person would challenge or refuse a totally “safe and effective” medical intervention that was risk-free and without complication if that was indeed the case.
Without being disrespectful to the vast majority of journalists who write or broadcast on the subject of vaccination, it is a very complex issue that has been politicised and manipulated to such an extent it is difficult for anyone to get to the truth. Politics, censorship and propaganda now rule the roost.
In my opinion, since the Leveson Inquiry in the UK, the media has been steered into a "biased" position of following the government's narrative. Part of this enquiry in 2012, which was supposed to be about the phone hacking scandal, reported on how the press gave too many column inches to vaccine damage cases/parents’ opinions and not enough emphasis on the government's/pharmaceutical industry's science: "vaccines are safe and effective" full stop.
https://discoverleveson.com/evidence/Submission_by_Sense_about_Science/11654/media
https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/tag/covid-19/
Not liking the overtones of the threat to press freedoms the media has been blatantly "encouraged" to follow the government's version of "the science." Current newspaper headlines demonstrate this perfectly by playing up the fact that UK citizens are the first in the world to be offered inadequately safety tested vaccines as a positive whilst ignoring the ability of COVID-19 vaccines to prevent serious disease or transmission and demonstrates a callous disregard for the known short-term and potential long-term side-effects these new experimental vaccines may cause.
“PROBLEM - REACTION - SOLUTION” or the “Hegel's Dialectic” from the German philosopher - Georg Wilhelm Frederich Hegel
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger” - Herman Goering
So, what is going on here with the Coronavirus crisis? The manipulating body (government) creates a problem and then directs the media to incessantly focus on it without recourse. The media can create a false perception that a big problem exists even if it doesn’t. Once you have created this problem you make sure that an individual group or an aspect of society is blamed. The solution to the problem is always a further curtailment of freedom and/or manipulation of an agenda - the continuation of restrictions, lockdowns and further curtailments of our freedoms. As an example:
Problem: People not complying with draconian rules or not taking the COVID vaccination whilst the Government’s agenda is to “nudge” the whole UK population into acceptance through fear.
Reaction: Government makes an aggressive attempt to close down the rights of people, including doctors and scientists, to question and challenge policies which includes the safety and efficacy of the inadequately tested experimental COVID vaccines.
Solution: Government creates a media frenzy over those they claim are “anti-vaxxers” or sceptics that dare challenge the official narrative. The Government attacks social media and condemns alternative opinions as “fake news”.
A perfect example of this government lead compliant media propaganda is the BBC Panorama programme aired on the 15 February 2021 which was accurately criticised by Hugo Talks:

At present we live in a democracy and therefore the people of this country have the right to freedom of expression and to engage and challenge those who make the decisions with regard to COVID-19 emergency measures and vaccination.
For democracy to work people need to trust those in positions of power and expect them to act in the best interests of the public’s health and wellbeing, and not be beholden to public/private partnerships or other corporate interests, e.g. vaccine production and marketing. Forcing questionable public health policies that trample on personal human rights, for the claimed greater good, also threatens the liberties of the individual and community which are the very foundation of a civilised democratic society which should be coveted and protected by everyone.

With many thanks to the “Airline Pilot"
Dear Andy Burnham
I am appalled to read in today’s Daily Mail the headline “NO JAB? YOU’RE BARRED”:
Yet again the psychological pressure is being ramped up by this Government to comply with their disproportionate diktats which are breaking laws and minds whilst attempting to take away our human rights.
In my opinion, no one should be consenting to any jab until these experimental vaccines have gone through long-term, double-blind placebo trials in volunteers to determine the absolute safety and efficacy for the target population.
Clearly the mainstream media is now carrying implied government threats against anyone who declines the vaccines.
Here are some of our concerns:
1. You must be vaccinated or you will be barred
All vaccines against the SARS-COV-2 virus are still officially on trial. Pfizer trials, for instance, won’t be completed until January 29th 2023. (1)
All the proposed vaccines, by definition, are novel. No candidate vaccine has been in development for more than several months and several utilise novel technology which has not previously been used. There is therefore no long-term safety data whatsoever which can either be relied upon or used to form the basis of any argument in favour of coercion - “or else”- mandates. Anyone having the vaccine once it is rolled out in the coming weeks will be part of a wider ongoing medical experiment.
Under the Nuremberg Code voluntary consent of the human subject in any medical experiment is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent and should be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion, and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him or her to fully understand and make an informed decision.
In simple terms, informed consent affords someone the absolute right to say no, and the threats of loss of access, employment or other democratic rights and privileges constitutes coercion.
2. Your right to autonomy over your own body does not include your right to ‘infect’ others.
This is a hypothetical, pseudoscientific and very manipulative tactic, intended as a psychological guilt trip to support their straw man statements.
This article from the BMJ which clearly explains that: ‘none of the trials currently under way are designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospital admissions, use of intensive care, or deaths….nor are the vaccines being studied to determine whether they can interrupt transmission of the virus…’ (2)
Additionally, Moderna’s chief medical officer states that: “they do not show that they prevent you from potentially carrying this virus transiently and infecting others” (3)
The reality is that according to their own data there is only a 0.76% absolute risk reduction (in the end user only) against the onset of mild cold symptoms against a total of 2% of all participants who reported significant systemic adverse events akin to influenza.
3. Asymptomatic spread is real and dangerous
In response to this pathologisation (over diagnosis) of perfectly healthy people, here are two large and official epidemiological studies showing zero transmission from so called asymptomatic carriers (4)(5).
Dr. Anthony Fauci, U.S. Director of National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease stated:
"In all the history of respiratory-borne viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person." -(6)
If this Government wants to persist with this biologically implausible position that perfectly healthy people showing no symptoms whatsoever, are a risk to others then the onus is on them to provide evidence with actual scientific studies not models or conjecture showing otherwise.
4. You cannot fulfil your employment role unless you are vaccinated
The MHRA has stated that they are expecting high volumes of adverse events (7).
Employers have a duty of care to their employees, which means that they should take all steps which are reasonably possible to ensure their health, safety and wellbeing. Demonstrating concern for the physical and mental health of workers shouldn't just be seen as a legal duty - there's a clear benefit to building trust and reinforcing commitment to their welfare.
Legally, employers must abide by relevant health and safety and employment law, as well as the common law duty of care. They also have a moral and ethical duty not to cause, or fail to prevent, physical or psychological injury, and must fulfil their responsibilities with regard to personal injury and negligence claims.
If there is an implied requirement or instruction from a third party outside of the organisation that the employees of that organisation must be vaccinated, then it is up to the company to provide an exemption against such measures.
Organisations should provide the scientific studies that prove SARS-COV-2 even exists and is proven to cause the syndrome known as COVID-19. There have now been several FOIA documents which show that no government body holds this information. Additionally, there is the ethical standpoint that the vaccines not only contain, or are produced, using human foetal cells but also involve the widespread use of animal experimentation.
To therefore coerce someone into having a medical intervention as part of an ongoing experiment with potentially extremely serious side effects and where neither the safety profile or efficacy has been established and for which there is little substantiated data or scientific evidence even suggesting a reduction in transmission is quite simply untenable (8).
I will state again, for democracy to work people need to trust those in positions of power and expect them to act in the best interests of the public’s health and safety and not be beholden to public/private partnerships or other corporate interests, e.g., pharmaceutical industry vaccine production and marketing. Forcing questionable public health policies that trample on personal human rights, for the claimed greater good, also threatens the liberties of the individual and community which are the very foundation of a civilised democratic society which should be coveted and protected by everyone.
I would appreciate it if you could consider the above points and opinions carefully and raise any/all of these points with the Prime Minister, Chief Medical Officer and other appropriate authorities. I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely

The BMJ Opinion 26 November 2020
Peter Doshi: Pfizer and Moderna’s “95% effective” vaccines—let’s be cautious and first see the full data
Only full transparency and rigorous scrutiny of the data will allow for informed decision making, argues Peter Doshi
In the United States, all eyes are on Pfizer and Moderna. The topline efficacy results from their experimental covid-19 vaccine trials are astounding at first glance. Pfizer says it recorded 170 covid-19 cases (in 44,000 volunteers), with a remarkable split: 162 in the placebo group versus 8 in the vaccine group. Meanwhile Moderna says 95 of 30,000 volunteers in its ongoing trial got covid-19: 90 on placebo versus 5 receiving the vaccine, leading both companies to claim around 95% efficacy.
Let’s put this in perspective. First, a relative risk reduction is being reported, not absolute risk reduction, which appears to be less than 1%. Second, these results refer to the trials’ primary endpoint of covid-19 of essentially any severity, and importantly not the vaccine’s ability to save lives, nor the ability to prevent infection, nor the efficacy in important subgroups (e.g. frail elderly). Those still remain unknown. Third, these results reflect a time point relatively soon after vaccination, and we know nothing about vaccine performance at 3, 6, or 12 months, so cannot compare these efficacy numbers against other vaccines like influenza vaccines (which are judged over a season). Fourth, children, adolescents, and immunocompromised individuals were largely excluded from the trials, so we still lack any data on these important populations.
I previously argued that the trials are studying the wrong endpoint, and for an urgent need to correct course and study more important endpoints like prevention of severe disease and transmission in high risk people. Yet, despite the existence of regulatory mechanisms for ensuring vaccine access while keeping the authorization bar high (which would allow placebo-controlled trials to continue long enough to answer the important question), it’s hard to avoid the impression that sponsors are claiming victory and wrapping up their trials (Pfizer has already sent trial participants a letter discussing “crossing over” from placebo to vaccine), and the FDA will now be under enormous pressure to rapidly authorize the vaccines.
But as conversation shifts to vaccine distribution, let’s not lose sight of the evidence. Independent scrutiny of the underlying trial data will increase trust and credibility of the results. There also might be important limitations to the trial findings we need to be aware of.
Most crucially, we need data-driven assurances that the studies were not inadvertently unblinded, by which I mean investigators or volunteers could make reasonable guesses as to which group they were in. Blinding is most important when measuring subjective endpoints like symptomatic covid-19, and differences in post-injection side-effects between vaccine and placebo might have allowed for educated guessing. Past placebo-controlled trials of influenza vaccine were not able to fully maintain blinding of vaccine status, and the recent “half dose” mishap in the Oxford covid-19 vaccine trial was apparently only noticed because of milder-than-expected side-effects. (And that is just one of many concerns with the Oxford trial.)
In contrast to a normal saline placebo, early phase trials suggested that systemic and local adverse events are common in those receiving vaccine. In one Pfizer trial, for example, more than half of the vaccinated participants experienced headache, muscle pain and chills—but the early phase trials were small, with large margins of error around the data. Few details from the large phase 3 studies have been released thus far. Moderna’s press releasestates that 9% experienced grade 3 myalgia and 10% grade 3 fatigue; Pfizer’s statement reported 3.8% experienced grade 3 fatigue and 2% grade 3 headache. Grade 3 adverse events are considered severe, defined as preventing daily activity. Mild and moderate severity reactions are bound to be far more common.
One way the trial’s raw data could facilitate an informed judgment as to whether any potential unblinding might have affected the results is by analyzing how often people with symptoms of covid-19 were referred for confirmatory SARS-CoV-2 testing. Without a referral for testing, a suspected covid-19 case could not become a confirmed covid-19 case, and thus is a crucial step in order to be counted as a primary event: lab-confirmed, symptomatic covid-19. Because some of the adverse reactions to the vaccine are themselves also symptoms of covid-19 (e.g. fever, muscle pain), one might expect a far larger proportion of people receiving vaccine to have been swabbed and tested for SARS-CoV-2 than those receiving placebo.
This assumes all people with symptoms would be tested, as one might expect would be the case. However the trial protocols for Moderna and Pfizer’s studies contain explicit language instructing investigators to use their clinical judgment to decide whether to refer people for testing. Moderna puts it this way:
“It is important to note that some of the symptoms of COVID-19 overlap with solicited systemic ARs that are expected after vaccination with mRNA-1273 (eg, myalgia, headache, fever, and chills). During the first 7 days after vaccination, when these solicited ARs are common, Investigators should use their clinical judgement to decide if an NP swab should be collected.”
This amounts to asking investigators to make guesses as to which intervention group patients were in. But when the disease and the vaccine side-effects overlap, how is a clinician to judge the cause without a test? And why were they asked, anyway?
Importantly, the instructions only refer to the first seven days following vaccination, leaving unclear what role clinician judgment could play in the key days afterward, when cases of covid-19 could begin counting towards the primary endpoint. (For Pfizer, 7 days after the 2nd dose. For Moderna, 14 days.)
In a proper trial, all cases of covid-19 should have been recorded, no matter which arm of the trial the case occurred in. (In epidemiology terms, there should be no ascertainment bias, or differential measurement error). It’s even become common sense in the Covid era: “test, test, test.” But if referrals for testing were not provided to all individuals with symptoms of covid-19—for example because an assumption was made that the symptoms were due to side-effects of the vaccine—cases could go uncounted.
Data on pain and fever reducing medicines also deserve scrutiny. Symptoms resulting from a SARS-CoV-2 infection (e.g. fever or body aches) can be suppressed by pain and fever reducing medicines. If people in the vaccine arm took such medicines prophylactically, more often, or for a longer duration of time than those in the placebo arm, this could have led to greater suppression of covid-19 symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection in the vaccine arm, translating into a reduced likelihood of being suspected for covid-19, reduced likelihood of testing, and therefore reduced likelihood of meeting the primary endpoint. But in such a scenario, the effect was driven by the medicines, not the vaccine.
Neither Moderna nor Pfizer have released any samples of written materials provided to patients, so it is unclear what, if any, instructions patients were given regarding the use of medicines to treat side effects following vaccination, but the informed consent form for Johnson and Johnson’s vaccine trial provides such a recommendation:
“Following administration of Ad26.COV2.S, fever, muscle aches and headache appear to be more common in younger adults and can be severe. For this reason, we recommend you take a fever reducer or pain reliever if symptoms appear after receiving the vaccination, or upon your study doctor’s recommendation.”
There may be much more complexity to the “95% effective” announcement than meets the eye—or perhaps not. Only full transparency and rigorous scrutiny of the data will allow for informed decision making. The data must be made public.

Forced Vaccination Law in Denmark Abandoned After Public Protests
Would have given authorities power to have police restrain and inject refusniks.
'A law in Denmark that would have given authorities the power to forcibly inject people with a coronavirus vaccine has been abandoned after nine days of public protests.
The ‘epidemic law’ would have handed the Danish government the power to enact mandatory quarantine measures against anyone infected with a dangerous disease, but it was the part about vaccinations that caused the biggest uproar.
“The Danish Health Authority would be able to define groups of people who must be vaccinated in order to contain and eliminate a dangerous disease,” reports the Local.
“People who refuse the above can – in some situations – be coerced through physical detainment, with police allowed to assist.”
However, after nine straight days of protests against the new law, it has now been scrapped.
With a coronavirus vaccine within sight, governments across the world are mulling over what punitive measures to bring against those who refuse to take it.
Last week we highlighted how both Ticketmaster and airline companies are considering barring people from entering venues and flying if they cannot prove they have taken the vaccine.
So while public protests may be able to prevent authorities carrying out forced vaccinations, people who refuse to take the shot may find it virtually impossible to enjoy any kind of social life, use public transport, or even find employment.’

Re: Covid-19: GPs told to be ready to deliver vaccine from next month
Rapid Response By Jackie Fletcher, JABS
Dear Editor
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care. This body is responsible for issuing an emergency licence to allow the use of Covid-19 vaccines in the UK if the licence is required urgently.
The MHRA should NOT authorise Covid-19 vaccines when the agency is already anticipating 'high volume of Covid-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs)'. (1)
Neither should the agency authorise Covid-19 vaccines when the agency admits that it does not have the technology in place to process ADRs and '...it will be unable to process these ADRs effectively. This will hinder its ability to rapidly identify any potential safety issues with the Covid-19 vaccine and represents a direct threat to patient life and public health....'. (1)
In my opinion, the MHRA has already been failing the public; on its website it states that: '..It is estimated that only 10% of serious reactions and between 2 and 4% of non-serious reactions are reported...'. (2) I cannot find any information to show that they are addressing this potentially dangerous finding.
During a meeting with the MHRA which I have attended, officers have stated that the reports that they do receive are not routinely followed-up by contacting the reporting health professional, six months to 12 months later, to determine if the individual fully recovered from the reaction or has further deteriorated.
Without this information neither the MHRA nor doctors have any accurate safety data on vaccines. A point that has been raised with the Government time and time again. (3) (4)
Currently anyone who takes a Covid-19 vaccine may not be aware that the procedure is loaded with risks for the above reasons and also because there is no financial safety net for anybody harmed in the process. The vaccine manufacturers have sought and been given indemnities to protect them from potential vaccine damage claims. (5) I understand that health professionals who administer the vaccines will also be protected against claims.
The proposed Covid-19 vaccine, as with all vaccines, will carry a risk of serious injury or death. Vaccine manufacturers' product information sheets attest to this with other vaccines. A recent example is the H1N1 vaccine which was introduced quickly into the population in 2009 and was found to be linked with narcolepsy and Guillain Barre syndrome (6) (7)
Contrary to how most MPs and the Prime Minister presents people who complain of vaccine damage and labels them as: 'anti-vaxxers are nuts' (8), the Government is fully aware of the risks that vaccines pose to the public. Vaccine damage payments of over £74 million have been awarded to people severely damaged. However, Covid-19 vaccine is not listed on the eligible to claim section. (9) The Vaccine Damage Payment Act 1979 would need to be amended to include all people over the age of 21 years and the awards should be made appropriate to the damage sustained on a par with current product liability claims.
As it stands, the Covid-19 vaccine is being promoted as the saviour of the country and according to the media reports, no serious concerns have shown up in the trials.The MHRA, with the authority to licence this vaccine, admits in tender documents that they are expecting a high volume of ADRs but don't have the technology to cope which they say is a direct threat to patient life and public health.
Meanwhile, the only people taking any risk whatsoever are the people holding their arms out.

Graham Hutchinson, ex-Senior Chief Biomedical Scientist, Public Health UK - 5th November 2020
JABS Transcript:
Hi Anna (Brees), my name is Graham Hutchinson and I just want to thank you for you setting up these platforms so people like me can speak about our feelings about what’s going on with COVID-19.
A little bit about myself, I really don’t like talking about myself, but who does? I was one of the Senior Chief Biomedical Scientists at the Centre of Public Health laboratory at Colindale. I worked in the Division of Hospital and Respiratory Infection and Anti-microbial Reference Unit.
We were responsible for the day-to-day monitoring of outbreaks of infection throughout the country. I was responsible for the running of the MRSA Reference Unit, the GRAM Negative Unit, the Molecular PCR Typing Unit, the Identification Unit, Hospital Hygiene Unit and other various laboratories within our division.
I was also personally responsible for the global reference service for the category three organisms francisella tularensis and burkholderia pseudomallei.
Just, I know people like to verify who people are: I’m, whist there, I worked with Professors Hodson and Gedis at the Royal Brompton Hospital doing research on home used nebulisers of cystic fibrosis patients and burkholderia cenocepacia lethal pathogen for them, there being a primary source thereof, and you can google that I also worked with Professor Nolan of New Zealand on the effect of Manuka honey being bactericidal against MRSA strains vancomycin resistant enterococci and other organisms, and various other works I did here.
Before that I was the Chief Biomedical Scientist at the Royal Brompton Hospital, responsible for the day-to-day running of the Microbiology Department, Bacteriology, Tuberculosis Laboratory, parasitology, media, that kind of stuff. And again, if someone wanted to verify they can. I did a paper with Chadwick and Gaia on a team of sitting activity against haemophilia influenza.
This is only going to be a short video, there’s, I don’t think there’s any use these days of videos going on but on, five or ten minutes at most. so I’m gonna keep this very short and just concentrate on three areas which I think are currently being missed.
The first one and most important I would say is virus attenuation. When vaccines are produced they are passed through cell lines and they go from cell line to cell line to cell line passaging, and as the virus passages it gradually gets weaker and weaker and weaker until it is to such a stage that it can be used as a live vaccine.
Back in April, Guarde et al had already noted that there was what they termed as viral drift amongst the genomes where the COVID-19 was changing and Yayo et al were showing that there were changes in the spike of the virus - and regards to pathogenicity he also said that because most of the strains have been submitted for genome analysis were from highly dangerous cases and that people that were heavily infected that there was probably even more viral drift because they weren’t looking at genomes from mild cases. So that’s the first thing that I think really needs to be looked at.
We’re seeing a lot more cases and a lot less deaths all over the world and in my view COVID-19 is not the same organism as it was when it was first isolated and has now very low pathogenicity. I would recommend everybody to go to and look at a website called https://nextstrain.org and just look at the numbers of genomes and what’s going on is there are thousands and thousands now of different strains of COVID-19.
So when someone says COVID-19 as a virus it’s not, it is now a huge family of viruses derived from the first Wuhan strain - and when you think about it bats carry the organism - normally they’re not cured by the virus - what point is there to a species if it kills its host? So I believe we are now seeing a less virulent but more contagious virus that is spreading everywhere.
The next thing I’d like to talk about is influenza vaccine. Cowling et al did a study where they showed that those who were given influenza vaccination were significantly more likely to develop other non-influenza respiratory infections after getting the influenza vaccination. Currently we’re seeing in South Korea there have been 83 deaths following influenza vaccination mostly in elderly people and Singapore have actually stopped giving influenza vaccination.
There were so few cases in the southern hemisphere this year that the World Health Organisation literally had to guess what strains to put in the vaccine for the northern hemisphere. So I think there should be a watch or a warning, an alert going on where, if anyone does fall sick following a flu vaccination this should be flagged very urgently and the last thing I want to talk about and in a way connected, is masks.
There’s a Danish study which we’re all waiting to be published which I’m sure is going to show that masks are useless. There was a study by McIntyre where he did a randomised controlled trial on sixteen hundred healthcare workers and found that those with cloth masks were more likely to be infected with the influenza virus than those with no masks. So let me just say that again, that those with cloth masks were more likely to get influenza infection than those with no masks. Influenza virus is actually larger than COVID-19.
There was also a South Korean study which was very quickly retracted which, where they took four heavily infected patients with COVID-19 and got them to cough with various masks and no masks, and they found that COVID-19 went through the masks - and not only that the virus actually aggregated on the outside of the mask - so all this touching of masks when people are out shopping and touching things is actually more dangerous than no masks and the aggregation on the outside has been shown by other studies too.
So that brings me to a connection between the influenza and mask because if we are seeing influenza disappearing throughout the world, yet we know that masks are not effective in stopping influenza, then where have the cases gone? My view is that there is some severe misdiagnosis going on and once again this PCR test needs to be looked at.
So those are my three areas - I’ll go through them again - it’s virus attenuation, I think we’re now looking at low pathogenic strain compared to the original strain; masks are not working and flu vaccination is something we should be aware of.
So I hope people can do some research on these and try and make these more in the public domain. So thanks once again for giving me this opportunity and I totally endorse everything that Doctor Mike Yeadon has been saying - it’s crazy times and sadly we’ve lost the science somewhere.
Okay - thanks - bye-bye

Money Talks Part 3 - Dr Reiner Fuellmich 13 October 2020
With thanks to Gareth Hawker for this transcript taken from the youtube video which he punctuated:
Money Talks part 3 Dr. Reiner Fuellmich class action case against Pandemic scandal
Since the German PCR test, (first pushed by Professor Drosten of the Charité hospital in Berlin, and produced and marketed by a German company by the name of Tib-Molbiol) was, on the recommendation of the World Health Organization, also one of the first tests to be marketed worldwide including in the US, the US courts have jurisdiction for a class action to be filed against Drosten, Charité, Tib-Molbiol, and the World Health Organization.
If such a class action then leads to a decision in favour of the representative plaintiff - and the judgment becomes final - then this judgment is binding for the defendants with respect to every other member of the class too. Now, our corona committee's primary political goal is to start the long overdue public scientific discussion about, among other things: the true danger of the virus; the reliability of the tests; and, above all, the collateral damage caused by the anti-corona measures - both from a health and economic point of view.
And this political goal will be reached faster, we believe, if a very loud bang ends the current stampede of panic and confusion; and that is in fact the political purpose of this class action. If hundreds of thousands or even millions of people decide to go to court over this, this sends a signal that will, I believe, interrupt and stop the stampede; and will make this badly needed public scientific discussion possible.
So the higher the price tag of the damage claims, the louder this bang becomes.
By the way, making the victims of the anti-corona measures whole is not only legally possible, but it also makes very clear sense economically; and that is because if we don't reimburse those small and medium-sized corporations and the self-employed for the damages they suffered, and they then all filed for bankruptcy, this would trigger enormous tax losses; but also enormous social transfer payments for (among other things) long-term unemployment payments; and that would, in any case, be much more expensive than to compensate the injured parties now, and to immediately end the measures so that those injured parties have a fair chance of restarting their businesses.
Thank you

Money Talks Update - 15 October 2020
With thanks to Gareth Hawker for this unofficial transcript.
Money Talks Update 1. 15 October 2020
By Dr Reiner Fuellmich
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kod8XTnhKGE&fbclid=IwAR1c-zETiDSyhGpqvMea4NDmC6lNHETI756h-zE_xtSOml-lGlnmVI5RnjwHello,
I am Reiner Fuellmich and for 26 years I have worked as a trial lawyer in Germany and in California, representing consumers and small corporations against fraudulent large corporations like Deutsche Bank, VW and Kuehne and Nagel, the world's largest shipping company - the latter one for bribery.
There is a new very positive development in this corona scandal which I would like to share with you.
1. The Off-Guardian reported on October 8, 2020 that the World Health Organization, the WHO, disclosed in a meeting on October 5th 2020 that it assumes that around 10 percent of the world's population is infected with SARS-COV-2. This means that SARS-COV-2 is roughly as dangerous as the seasonal flu.
I'll read this to you from the Off-Guardian article:
“The global population is roughly 7.8 billion people. If 10 percent have been infected (that is 780 million people) the global death-toll currently attributed to SARS-COV-2 infections is one million sixty one thousand five hundred and thirty nine. That's an infection fatality rate of roughly point one four percent (0.14%)- right in line with the seasonal flu, and the predictions of many experts from all around the world.
2. It must be emphasized once again, however, that the notorious Wuhan virus has not been isolated by anyone in a scientifically correct manner. Nowhere has the virus been isolated according to Koch's postulates even the CDC reported in a document dated July 13, 2020, on page 39, that (and I quote): “No quantified virus isolates of the 2019 encounter are currently available”.
Quantified means measured. This means that no measurable amount of the virus is available. So what is being treated out there if it isn't SARS-COV-2? Is it the flu with a little more corona than usual? Is the flu being treated with a lockdown, a mask requirement and quarantine? Even the WHO seems to be having second thoughts. Now Dr David Nabarro from the WHO appealed to world leaders telling them last week to stop (and I quote): “Using lockdowns as your primary control method.”
Let me quote a little more from his message: “Lockdowns have just one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.”
He also says: “Look what's happened to smallholder farmers all over the world. Look what's happening to poverty levels. It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.”
His message is timely. In a world-first, a number of health experts from all over the world came together calling for an end to coronavirus lockdowns earlier last week. They created a petition called the Great Barrington Declaration which said that lockdowns were doing irreparable damage. As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists, they say we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing Covid-19 policies, and recommend, “an approach we call focused protection.”
Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. Against this backdrop the fact remains that there's no corona pandemic but only a PCR test pandemic (as I explained in my last video) and that means that those who deliberately make false statements claiming that PCR tests can detect infections, with whatever, will be held responsible.
By the way what happened and what continues to happen here is nothing new. At the beginning of the last century the US judiciary had to intervene vigorously to stop the massive abuse of power by corporations - at that time the financial industry and the oil companies. My personal legal hero Justice Lewis D. Brandeis, at the supreme court, became the so-called people's lawyer, because he got that job done for the people. This time we will do that.
Thank you.

Mark Dolan: "Herd immunity might have saved lives, not taken them"
Mark Dolan: "Herd immunity might have saved lives, not taken them"
During the run-up to the Brexit referendum of 2016, feels like the good old days now, doesn’t it, Michael Gove in that campaign said: “He had had enough of experts.” Now at the time, well I thought he was a bit of a silly sausage for saying that. Well, now, I know exactly what he means. Wherever you look, data, not projections or imaginary graphs, but data suggest lockdowns may be having little effect. They may, in fact, be counterproductive and at the moment the areas that have seen the strictest restrictions are producing the highest numbers of cases. It’s funny that, isn’t it, it’s almost as if you can’t halt the spread of an infectious virus, like it has got its own curve, its own trajectory, who knew?
Now, let’s talk about the Nightingale hospitals, this is important: when they were constructed at lightening speed early in the pandemic the Nightingale hospitals were considered a proud national achievement, however, months on they lie empty, they were never used. Far from being a great national achievement the Nightingale hospitals now stand as expensive monuments to scientific miscalculation. We didn’t want to use them, of course not, but it’s telling that we never got close to having to, and don’t get me started on ventilators. Do you remember the hysterical clamour for ventilators? We’ve got to have ventilators! We’ve got to have ventilators! Well, we have those ventilators, half a billion pounds worth, that’s right, half a billion pounds worth, almost every single one of them unused and gathering dust. It’s not an achievement, it’s a scandal.
Now in my book, everyone gets a free pass for what happened in March; COVID was an unknown quantity and a three or four week lockdown to ensure our wonderful NHS is not overwhelmed, it’s got to be worth a punt. At this point I will remind you the virus peaked in April.
So, here we are now in October and the madness continues unabated. Bars and restaurants in central Scotland have shut down; a devastating hammer blow to the economies of Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond. It’s borderline criminal.
It’s pretty clear that first minister Sturgeon, sorry - sorry, General Sturgeon, we have upgraded her, remember Scotland is now just a semi-democracy. General Sturgeon is actually in charge of UK COVID strategy because when General Sturgeon locks down, corporal Johnson, her underling in Westminster, follows suit. But it’s actually, it’s not for Boris or for Nicola, or any of the politicians that I reserve my ire today. I have reserved my ire, and I’ve got loads of ire, so much ire and I have reserved it for the so-called experts.
Pick Messrs Whitty and Vallance, the worst double-act since Hale and Pace, with their projections of doom and the graph that wasn’t a graph, or the randy Prof., Neil Ferguson, a man who terrified the Prime Minister all those months ago with a projected death toll of half-a-million. This is a crisis of politics, certainly, but it’s an even bigger crisis of science.
Sweden, a surprisingly highly densely populated country, that did not lock down, kept its schools, hospitality and offices open and never mandated face coverings, well Sweden, a bit like those Nightingale hospitals, serves as a potentially huge embarrassment to the science and projections that we followed here. Sweden, by the looks of it, shames us. Now, perhaps everyone in Sweden is suddenly going to get COVID in the next ten minutes and if so, fair enough. But according to most experts the Swedes are out of the woods now and life there is more or less back to normal, no curfews, no masks, no arrows in shops. Are you sick of those arrows?
Voices of dissent are growing. The University of Edinburgh have just published a report in which they say that our failure to achieve herd immunity by attempting to control the virus, may now, cause more deaths in the long-run because we have lower community immunity. Now, do you remember the moral backlash about how brutal and Darwenistic and cruel the concept of herd immunity was? Do you remember that moral backlash? Well, we are now hearing that the much maligned herd immunity might have saved lives not cost them. Yes, it turns out that viruses aren’t Woke. They don’t look at Twitter. They’re not on Facebook. They don’t care what we think and, as we have been attacked by viruses throughout our natural history, they never have.
There are growing concerns from many thousands of globally renowned scientists and medics, who have signed up to the campaign called the Great Barrington Declaration, to change course and they fear we are going to hell in a handcart, with at best flaky and at worst wrong science and the folly continues as we await this famed vaccine. Now, I can tell you, I’ll give you an exclusive, on Drive, on what the main ingredient of this vaccine currently is - snake oil. Because to have a strategy that presides over the destruction of economies, societies and peoples way of life for hope of a vaccine is like watching your house burn down in the hope that someone will eventually come along and retro-fit a sprinkler system.
And so now, as Rome metaphorically burns, businesses closing, shops and restaurants boarded up, unemployment spiralling, national debt exploding and many thousands of other illnesses going undiagnosed and untreated, our Prime Minister is considering further draconian lockdowns in the north of England producing further economic and social devastation and perpetuating the north-south divide for at least another generation. Kind of the opposite of levelling up, I think you will agree.
We need a far wider diversity of views on this. We need a national conversation and I want to have it here at TalkRADIO.
Local Mayors and city officials are already digging their heels in, we’ve spoken to them on this programme. I’m following a court case in Spain, the City of Madrid have just said: No! We have to stop the madness and the only way to do that is to look at the data, have a wider range of voices advising the Government and work out where we are going wrong.
This, actually, isn’t politics and it shouldn’t be up to the politicians. It’s the science, stupid!

Crimes against Humanity 3 October 2020
Reiner Fuellmich - admitted to the bar in Germany and California for 26 years - explains the background for a worldwide class action suit against the perpetrators of the coronavirus scandal.
A team of worldwide lawyers and scientists are investigating the illegality of the coronavirus pandemic.
Lord Jonathan Sumption and Dr Mike Yeadon are quoted in the video.
Please click on picture
This is the transcript taken from the video. Please accept our apologies if any of the names are incorrect - with thanks to Gareth Hawker for his considerable help with this.
Hello. I am Reiner Fuellmich and I have been admitted to the bar in Germany and in California for 26 years.
I have been practicing law primarily as a trial lawyer against fraudulent corporations such as Deutsche bank, formerly one of the world's largest and most respected banks, today one of the most toxic criminal organisations in the world; VW, one of the world's largest and most respected car manufacturers, today notorious for its giant diesel fraud; and Cunard and Niagara the world's largest shipping company. We're suing them in a multi-million-dollar bribery case.
I'm also one of four members of the German Corona Investigative Committee. Since July 10, 2020, this committee has been listening to a large number of international scientists and experts' testimony - to find answers to questions about the corona crisis which more and more people worldwide are asking.
All the above mentioned cases of corruption and fraud committed by the German corporations pale in comparison in view of the extent of the damage that the corona crisis has caused and continues to cause.
This corona crisis, according to all we know today, must be renamed a corona scandal; and those responsible for it must be criminally prosecuted and sued for civil damages.
On a political level, everything must be done to make sure that no one will ever again be in a position of such power as to be able to defraud humanity, or to attempt to manipulate us with their corrupt agendas. And, for this reason, I will now explain to you how and where an international network of lawyers will argue this biggest tort case ever - the corona fraud scandal - which has meanwhile unfolded into probably the greatest crime against humanity ever committed.
Crimes against humanity were first defined in connection with the Nuremberg trials after World War II, that is when they dealt with the main war criminals of the Third Reich. Crimes against humanity are today regulated in section 7 of the International Criminal Code.
The three major questions to be answered in the context of a judicial approach to the corona scandal are:
1. Is there a corona pandemic or is there only a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test pandemic, specifically does a positive PCR test result mean that the person tested is infected with COVID-19, or does it mean absolutely nothing in connection with the COVID-19 infection?
2. Do the so-called anti-corona measures such as the lockdown, mandatory face masks, social distancing and quarantine regulations serve to protect the world's population from corona, or do these measures serve only to make people panic - so that they believe without asking any questions that their lives are in danger, so that in the end the pharmaceutical and tech industries can generate huge profits from the sale of PCR tests, antigen and antibody tests and vaccines, as well as the harvesting of our genetic fingerprints?
3. Is it true that the German government was massively lobbied more, so than any other country, by the chief protagonists of this so-called corona pandemic?
Dr Christian Drosten, virologist and Director of the Institute at Charité Hospital in Berlin;
Mr Lothar Wieler, veterinarian and head of the German equivalent of the CDC, the RKI;
and Mr Tedros Adhanom, head of the World Health Organisation or WHO,
Because Germany is known as a particularly disciplined country and was therefore to become a role model for the rest of the world - for its strict and of course successful adherence to the corona measures?
Answers to these three questions are urgently needed because the allegedly new and highly dangerous coronavirus has not caused any excess mortality anywhere in the world and certainly not here in Germany; but the anti-corona measures whose only basis are the PCR test results (which are in turn all based on the German Drosten test) have in the meantime caused the loss of innumerable human lives, and have destroyed the economic existence of countless companies and individuals worldwide.
In Australia, for example, people are thrown into prison if they do not wear a mask or do not wear it properly as deemed by the authorities. In the Philippines, people who do not wear a mask, or do not wear it properly in this sense, are getting shot in the head.
Let me first give you a summary of the facts that they present, as they present themselves. Today the most important thing in a lawsuit is to establish the facts; that is, to find out what actually happened. This is because the application of the law always depends on the facts at issue. If I want to prosecute someone for fraud, I cannot do that by presenting the facts of a car accident. So, what happened here regarding the alleged corona pandemic?
The facts laid out below are to a large extent the result of the work of the corona investigative committee. This committee was founded on July 10th by four lawyers in order to determine through hearing expert testimony of international scientists and other experts:
1. How dangerous is the virus really?
2. What is the significance of a post-positive PCR test?
3. What collateral damage has been caused by the corona measures both with respect to the world's population's health, and with respect to the world's economy?
Let me start with a little bit of background information: what happened in May 2019 and then in early 2020, and what happened 12 years earlier with the swine flu, which many of you may have forgotten about.
In May of 2019, the stronger of the two parties which govern Germany in a grand coalition, the CDU, held a congress on global health, apparently at the instigation of important players from the pharmaceutical industry and in the tech industry.
At this congress the usual suspects (you might say) gave their speeches. Angela Merkel was there and the German secretary of health, Jens Spahn, but some other people whom one would not necessarily expect to be present at such a gathering were also there. Professor Drosten, virologist, from the Charite hospital in Berlin; Professor Wieler, veterinarian, and head of the RKI (the German equivalent of the CDC) as well as Mr Tadros Adhanom, philosopher, and head of the world health organisation (WHO). They all gave speeches there.
Also present and giving speeches were the chief lobbyists of the world's two largest health funds, namely, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Welcome Trust. Less than a year later these very people called the shots in the proclamation of the worldwide corona pandemic, made sure that mass PCR tests were used to prove mass infections with COVID-19 all over the world, and are now pushing for vaccines to be invented and sold worldwide.
These infections, or rather the positive test results that the PCR tests delivered, in turn became the justification for worldwide lockdowns, social distancing and mandatory face masks. It is important to note at this point that the definition of a pandemic was changed 12 years earlier. Until then, a pandemic was considered to be a disease that spread worldwide and which led to many serious illnesses and deaths. Suddenly, and for reasons never explained, it was supposed to be a worldwide disease, only, many serious illnesses and many deaths were not required anymore, to announce a pandemic.
Due to this change the WHO, which is closely intertwined with the global pharmaceutical industry, was able to declare the swine flu pandemic in 2009, with the result that vaccines were produced and sold worldwide, on the basis of contracts that have been kept secret until today.
These vaccines proved to be completely unnecessary because the swine flu eventually turned out to be a mild flu and never became the horrific plague that the pharmaceutical industry and its affiliated universities kept announcing it would turn into, with millions of deaths certain to happen, if people didn't get vaccinated. These vaccines also led to serious health problems: about 700 children in Europe fell incurably ill with narcolepsy and are now forever severely disabled.
The vaccines bought with millions of taxpayers' money had to be destroyed, with even more taxpayers' money.
Already then, during the swine flu, the German virologist Drosten was one of those who stirred up panic in the population; repeating over and over again that the swine flu would claim many hundreds of thousands, even millions of deaths, all over the world. In the end, it was mainly thanks to Dr Wolfgang Wodarg and his efforts as a member of the German Bundestag and also a member of the Council of Europe, that this hoax was brought to an end, before it would lead to even more serious consequences.
Fast forward to March of 2020, when the German Bundestag announced an epidemic situation of national importance which is the German equivalent of a pandemic, in March of 2020, and based on this, the lockdown - with the suspension of all essential constitutional rights for an unforeseeable time. There was only one single opinion on which the federal government in Germany based its' decision. In an outrageous violation of the universally accepted principle audiator at ultra parse, which means that one must also hear the other side. The only person they listened to was Mr Drosten, that is, the very person whose horrific panic-inducing prognosis had proved to be catastrophically false 12 years earlier.
We know this because a whistle-blower named David Siva, a member of the green party, told us about it. He did so first on 29 August, 2020 in Berlin in the context of an event at which Robert F Kennedy Junior also took part, and at which both men gave speeches; and he did so afterwards in one of the sessions of our corona committee.
The reason he did this is that he had become increasingly sceptical about the official narrative propagated by politicians and the mainstream media. He had therefore undertaken an effort to find out about other scientists' opinions and had found them on the internet. There he realised that there were a number of highly renowned scientists who held a completely different opinion which contradicted the horrific prognosis of Mr Drosten. They assumed, and still do assume, that there was no disease that went beyond the gravity of the seasonal flu; that the population had already acquired cross or T-cell immunity against this allegedly new virus; and that there was therefore no reason for any special measures and certainly not for vaccinations.
These scientists include Professor John Ioannidis of Stanford University in California, a specialist in statistics and epidemiology as well as public health, and at the same time the most quoted scientists in the world; Professor Michael Levitt, Nobel prize winner for chemistry, and also a biophysicist at Stanford University, the German Professors Karin Mulling, Sucharit Bhakdi, Klud Wittkowski as well as Stefan Homburg and now many, many, more scientists and doctors worldwide; including Dr Mike Yeadon. Dr Mike Yeadon is the former vice president and scientific director of Pfizer, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. I will talk some more about him a little later.
At the end of March, beginning of April, of 2020 Mr Sieber turned to the leadership of his green party with the knowledge he had accumulated and suggested that they present these other scientific opinions to the public and explain that contrary to Mr Drosten's doomsday prophecies there was no reason for the public to panic. Incidentally, Lord Sumption, who served as a judge at the British Supreme Court from 2012 to 2018, had done the very same thing, at the very same time, it had come to the very same conclusion, that there was no factual basis for panic and no legal basis for the corona measures.
Likewise, the former President of the German Federal Constitutional Court expressed, albeit more cautiously, serious doubts that the corona measures were constitutional. But instead of taking note of these other opinions and discussing them with David Sieber, the green party leadership declared that Mr Drosten's panic messages were good enough for the German party. For the green party, remember, they're not a member of the ruling coalition; they're the opposition. Still that was enough for them, just as it had been good enough for the federal government as a basis for its lockdown decision, they said.
Subsequently, the green party leadership called David Sieber a conspiracy theorist, without ever having considered the content of his information and then stripped him of his mandates.
Now, let's take a look at the current, actual situation regarding the virus's danger; the complete uselessness of PCR tests for the detection of infections; and the lockdowns based on non-existent infections.
In the meantime, we know that the health care systems were never in danger of becoming overwhelmed by COVID-19. On the contrary, many hospitals remain empty to this day and some are now facing bankruptcy.
The hospital ship Comfort which anchored in New York at the time, and could have accommodated a thousand patients, never accommodated more than some 20 patients. Nowhere was there any excess mortality.
Studies carried out by Professor Ioannidis and others have shown that the mortality of corona is equivalent to that of the seasonal flu; even the pictures from Bergamo and New York that were used to demonstrate to the world that panic was in order proved to be deliberately misleading.
Then, the so-called ‘panic paper’ was leaked which was written by the German Department of the Interior. Its classified content shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that in fact the population was deliberately driven to panic by politicians and mainstream media. The accompanying irresponsible statements of the head of the RKI, remember the CDC, Mr Wieler who repeatedly and excitedly announced that the corona measures must be followed unconditionally by the population, without them asking any question shows that he followed the script verbatim. In his public statements he kept announcing that the situation was very grave and threatening although the figures compiled by his own institute proved the exact opposite.
Among other things, the panic paper calls for children to be made to feel responsible and, I quote, for the painful tortured death of their parents and grandparents if they do not follow the corona rules; that is, if they do not wash their hands constantly and don't stay away from their grandparents.
A word of clarification: in Bergamo, the vast majority of deaths, 94 percent to be exact, turned out to be the result, not of COVID-19, but rather the consequence of the government deciding to transfer sick patients, sick with probably the cold or seasonal flu, from hospitals to nursing homes - in order to make room at the hospitals for all the COVID-19 patients, who ultimately never arrived. There at the nursing homes, they then infected old people with a severely weakened immune system, usually as a result of pre-existing medical conditions, in addition, a flu vaccination which had previously been administered had further weakened the immune systems of the people in the nursing homes.
In New York only some, but by far not all, hospitals were overwhelmed. Many people, most of whom were again elderly and had serious pre-existing medical conditions and most of whom had it not been for the panic mongering would have just stayed at home to recover, raced to the hospitals. There many of them fell victim to healthcare-associated infections, or nosocomial infections on the one hand and incidents of malpractice on the other hand, for example: by being put on a respirator rather than receiving oxygen through an oxygen mask.
Again to clarify, COVID-19, this is the current state of affairs, is a dangerous disease, just like the seasonal flu is a dangerous disease and of course COVID-19, just like the seasonal flu may sometimes take a severe clinical course and will sometimes kill patients.
However, as autopsies have shown, which were carried out in Germany, in particular by the forensic scientist Professor Klaus Püschel, in Hamburg, the fatalities he examined had almost all been caused by serious pre-existing conditions and almost all of the people who had died, had died at a very old age, just like in Italy, meaning they had lived beyond their average life expectancy.
In this context the following should also be mentioned: the German RKI, that is again the equivalent of the CDC, had initially, strangely enough, recommended that no autopsies be performed and there are numerous credible reports that doctors and hospitals worldwide had been paid money for declaring a deceased person a victim of COVID-19 rather than writing down the true cause of death on the death certificate, for example a heart attack or a gunshot wound. Without the autopsies we would never know that the overwhelming majority of the alleged COVID-19 victims had died of completely different diseases but not of COVID-19.
The assertion that the lockdown was necessary because there were so many different infections with SARS-CoV-2 and because the healthcare systems would be overwhelmed is wrong, for three reasons, as we have learned from the hearings we conducted with the Corona Committee and from other data that has become available in the meantime.
a) the lockdown was imposed when the virus was already retreating. By the time the lockdown was imposed the alleged infection rates were already dropping again.
b) There's already protection from the virus because of cross or t-cell immunity, apart from the above mentioned lockdown being imposed, when the infection rates were already dropping there is also cross or t-cell immunity in the general population against the coronaviruses contained in every flu or influenza wave. This is true, even if this time around a slightly different strain of the coronavirus was at work, and that is because the body's own immune system remembers every virus it has ever battled in the past, and from this experience it also recognises a supposedly new but still similar strain of the virus from the corona family.
Incidentally that's how the PCR test for the detection of an infection was invented by the now infamous Professor Drosten. At the beginning of January of 2020, based on this very basic knowledge, Mr Drosten developed his PCR test which supposedly detects an infection with SARS-CoV-2. Without ever having seen the real Wuhan virus from China, only having learned from social media reports that there was something going on in Wuhan, he started tinkering on his computer with what would become his corona PCR test.
For this he used an old SARS [severe respiratory syndrome] virus hoping it would be sufficiently similar to the allegedly new strain of the coronavirus found in Wuhan. Then he sent the result of his computer tinkering to China to determine whether the victims of the alleged new coronavirus tested positive. They did, and that was enough for the WHO to sound the pandemic alarm and to recommend the worldwide use of the Drosten PCR test for the detection of infections with the virus now called SARS-CoV-2.
Drosten's opinion and advice was, this must be emphasised, once again the only source for the German Government when it announced the lockdown, as well as the rules for social distancing and the mandatory wearing of masks; and this must also be emphasised once again, Germany apparently became the centre of, especially, massive lobbying by the pharmaceutical and tech. industry because the world, was referenced to the allegedly disciplined Germans, should do as the Germans do in order to survive the pandemic.
c) and this is the most important part of our fact-finding. The PCR test is being used on the basis of false statements, not based on scientific facts with respect to infections. In the meantime, we have learned that these PCR tests, contrary to the assertions of Messrs. Drosten, Wieler and the WHO, do not give any indication of an infection with any virus let alone an infection with SARS-CoV-2.
Note: not only are PCR tests expressly not approved for diagnostic purposes, as is correctly noted on leaflets coming with these tests, and as the inventor of the PCR test, Kary Mullis, has repeatedly emphasised. Instead they're simply incapable of diagnosing any disease. That is, contrary to the assertions of Drosten, Wieler and the WHO, which they have been making since the proclamation of the pandemic, a positive PCR test result does not mean that an infection is present. If someone tests positive, it does not mean that they're infected with anything let alone with the contagious SARS-CoV-2 virus. Even the United States CDC, even this institution, agrees with this and I quote directly from page 38 of one of its publications on the coronavirus and the PCR tests dated July 13 2020.
First bullet point says: detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019 nCoV [novel coronavirus] is the causative agent for clinical symptoms
Second bullet point says: the performance of this test has not been established for monitoring treatment of two threat 2019 nCoV infection
Third bullet point says: this test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens
It is still not clear whether there has ever been a scientifically correct isolation of the Wuhan virus so that nobody knows exactly what we're looking for when we test; especially, since this virus, just like the flu viruses mutates quickly.
The PCR swabs take one or two sequences of a molecule that are invisible to the human eye and therefore need to be amplified in many cycles to make it visible. Everything over 35 cycles is, as reported by the New York Times and others, considered completely unreliable and scientifically unjustifiable.
However, the Drosten test as well as the WHO recommended tests that followed his example are set to 45 cycles. Can that be because of the desire to produce as many positive results as possible and thereby provide the basis for the false assumption that a large number of infections have been detected?
The test cannot distinguish inactive and reproductive matter: that means that a positive result may happen because the test detects, for example, a piece of debris, a fragment of a molecule, which may signal nothing else more than the immune system of the person tested won a battle with a common cold in the past.
Even Drosten himself declared in an interview with a German business magazine in 2014, at that time concerning the alleged detection of an infection with the MERS virus allegedly with the help of the PCR test, that these PCR tests are so highly sensitive that even very healthy and non-infectious people may test positive. At that time, he also became very much aware of the powerful role of a panic and fear-mongering media, as you'll see at the end of the following quote, he said then in this interview: “If for example such a pathogen scurries over the nasal mucosa of a nurse for a day or so without her getting sick, or noticing anything, then she's suddenly a MERS case.”
This could also explain the explosion of case numbers in Saudi Arabia. In addition, the media there have made this into an incredible sensation. Has he forgotten this or is he deliberately concealing this in the corona context because corona is a very lucrative business opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry as a whole, and for Mr Alford Lund, his co-author in many studies, and also a PCR test producer.
In my view, it is completely implausible that he forgot in 2020 what he knew about the PCR tests and told the business magazine in 2014. In short this test cannot detect any infection, contrary to all false claims stating that it can, an infection, a so-called hot infection requires that the virus or rather a fragment of a molecule which may be a virus is not just found somewhere, for example, in the throat of a person without causing any damage that would be a cold infection, rather a hot infection requires that the virus penetrates into the cells, replicates there and causes symptoms such as headaches or a sore throat. Only then is a person really infected; in the sense of a hot infection; because only then is a person contagious, that is able to infect others, until then it is completely harmless for both the host and all other people that the host comes into contact with.
Once again, this means that positive test results, contrary to all other claims by Drosten, Wieler or the WHO mean nothing, with respect to infections, as even the CDC knows as quoted above.
Meanwhile, a number of highly respected scientists worldwide assume that there has never been a corona pandemic but only a PCR test pandemic. This is the conclusion reached by many German scientists such as Professors Bhakdi, Rice, Mölling, Hockerts, Wallach and many others including the above mentioned Professor John Ioannidis and the Nobel laureate, Professor Michael Levitt, from Stanford University. The most recent such opinion is that of the aforementioned Dr Mike Yeadon, a former vice president and chief science officer at Pfizer, who held this position for 16 years. He and his co-authors, all well-known scientists, published a scientific paper in September of 2020 and he wrote a corresponding magazine article on September 20th 2020.
Among other things, he and they state, and I quote: “We're basing our government policy, our economic policy and the policy of restricting fundamental rights presumably on completely wrong data and assumptions about the coronavirus. If it weren't for the test results that are constantly reported in the media, the pandemic would be over, because nothing really happened.”
Of course, there are some serious individual cases of illness but there are also some in every flu epidemic. There was a real wave of disease in March and April but since then everything has gone back to normal. Only the positive results rise and sink wildly again and again, depending on how many tests are carried out, but the real cases of illnesses are over. There can be no talk of a second wave. The allegedly new strain of the coronavirus is, Dr Yeadon continues, only new in that it is a new type of the long known coronavirus; there are at least four coronaviruses that are endemic and cause some of the common colds we experience, especially in winter. They all have a striking sequence similarity to the coronavirus and because the human immune system recognises the similarity to the virus that has now, allegedly, been newly discovered, a t-cell immunity has long existed in this respect, 30 percent of the population had this before the, allegedly, new virus even appeared. Therefore, it is sufficient for the so-called herd immunity that 15 to 25 percent of the population are infected with the allegedly new coronavirus to stop the further spread of the virus, and this has long been the case.
Regarding the all-important PCR tests, Yeadon writes in a piece called: ‘Lies, Damned Lies and Health Statistics - the Deadly Danger of False Positives’, dated September 20th 2020 and I quote: ‘…The likelihood of an apparently positive case being a false positive is between 89 to 94 percent or near certainty…’. Dr Yeadon, in agreement with the professors of immunology, Camera from Germany, Capel from the Netherlands and Cahill from Ireland as well as a microbiologist, Dr Harvey from Austria, all of whom testified before the German corona committee, explicitly points out that a positive test does not mean that an intact virus has been found.
The authors explain that what the PCR test actually measures is, and I quote: "Simply the presence of partial RNA sequences present in the intact virus which could be a piece of dead virus, which cannot make the subject sick, and cannot be transmitted and cannot make anyone else sick - because of the complete unsuitability of the test for the detection of infectious diseases - tested positive in goats, sheep, papayas and even chicken wings.
Oxford Professor Carl Heneghan, director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine writes that the COVID-19 virus would never disappear, if this test practice were to be continued, but would always be falsely detected, in much of what is tested. Lockdowns as Yeadon and his colleagues found out, do not work.
Sweden with its laissez-faire approach and Great Britain with its strict lockdown, for example, have completely comparable disease and mortality statistics. The same was found by US scientists concerning the different US states; it makes no difference to the incidence of disease whether a state implements a lockdown or not.
With regard to the now infamous, Imperial College of London’s, Professor Neil Ferguson and his completely false computer model; models warning of millions of deaths; he [Yeadon] says that, and I quote: “No serious scientist gives any validity to Ferguson's model.” He points out, with thinly veiled contempt, again I quote: “It's important that you know most scientists don't accept that it, that is Ferguson's model, was even faintly right but the government is still wedded to the model.”
Ferguson predicted 40 000 corona deaths in Sweden by May and a hundred thousand by June but it remained at five thousand eight hundred which, according to the Swedish authorities, is equivalent to a mild flu. If the PCR tests had not been used as a diagnostic tool for corona infections there would not be a pandemic and there would be no lockdowns but everything would have been perceived as just a medium or light wave of influenza these scientists conclude. Dr Yeadon in his piece: ‘Lies, Damned Lies and Health Statistics - the Deadly Danger of False Positives’ writes: “This test is fatally flawed and must immediately be withdrawn and never used again in this setting, unless shown to be fixed.” And towards the end of that article: “I have explained how a hopelessly performing diagnostic test has been, and continues to be used, not for diagnosis of disease but it seems solely to create fear.”
Now, let's take a look at the current actual situation regarding the severe damage caused by the lockdowns and other measures. Another detailed paper written by a German official in the Department of the Interior, who is responsible for risk assessment and the protection of the population against risks, was leaked recently. It is now called the False Alarm paper. This paper comes to the conclusion that there was, and is, no sufficient evidence for serious health risks for the population, as claimed by Drosten, Wieler, and the WHO. But the author says there's very much evidence of the corona measures causing gigantic health and economic damage to the population which he then describes in detail in this paper. This he concludes will lead to very high claims for damages, which the government will be held responsible for. This has now become reality but the paper's author was suspended.
More and more scientists but also lawyers recognise that as a result of the deliberate panic-mongering and the corona measures enabled by this panic, democracy is in great danger of being replaced by fascist totalitarian models.
As I already mentioned above, in Australia people who do not wear the masks, which more and more studies show are hazardous to health, or who allegedly do not wear them correctly, are arrested, handcuffed and thrown into jail. In the Philippines they run the risk of getting shot but even in Germany and in other previously, civilised countries, children are taken away from their parents if they do not comply with quarantine regulations, distance regulations and mask wearing -regulations.
According to psychologists and psychotherapists who testified before the corona committee, children are traumatised en masse, with the worst psychological consequences yet to be expected in the medium and long term. In Germany alone, 500 000 to 800 000 bankruptcies are expected in the fall to strike small and medium-sized businesses which form the backbone of the economy. This will result in incalculable tax losses and incalculably high and long-term social security money transfers for among other things unemployment benefits. Since in the meantime, pretty much everybody is beginning to understand the full devastating impact of the completely unfounded corona measures, I will refrain from detailing this any further.
Let me now give you a summary of the legal consequences; the most difficult part of a lawyer's work is always to establish the true facts. Not the application of the legal rules to these facts. Unfortunately, a German lawyer does not learn this at law school but his Anglo-American counterparts do get the necessary training for this, at their law schools, and probably for this reason, but also because of the much more pronounced independence of the American, Anglo-American judiciary, the Anglo-American law of evidence is much more effective in practice than the German one.
A court of law can only decide a legal dispute correctly if it has previously determined the facts correctly, which is not possible without looking at all the evidence and that's why the law of evidence is so important. On the basis of the facts summarised above, in particular, those established with the help of the work of the German corona committee, the legal evaluation is actually simple. It is simple for all civilised legal systems regardless of whether these legal systems are based on civil law, which follows the Roman law more closely, or whether they are based on Anglo-American common law which is only loosely connected to Roman law.
Let's first take a look at the unconstitutionality of the measures; a number of German law professors including Professors Kingreen, Morswig, Youngblood and Foskarau have stated either in written expert opinions or in interviews in line with the serious doubts expressed by the former president of the federal constitutional court with respect to the constitutionality of the corona measures, that these measures, the corona measures, are without a sufficient factual basis and also without a sufficient legal basis and are therefore unconstitutional and must be repealed immediately.
Very recently, a judge, Torsten Schleife is his name, declared publicly that the German judiciary, just like the general public has been so panic-stricken that it was no longer able to administer justice properly. He says that the courts of law, and I quote: “Have all too quickly waved through coercive measures which for millions of people all over Germany represent massive suspensions of their constitutional rights.” He points out that German citizens, again I quote: “Are currently experiencing the most serious encroachment on their constitutional rights since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949. In order to contain the corona pandemic federal and state governments have intervened, he says, massively and in part threatening the very existence of the country, as it is guaranteed by the constitutional rights of the people.
What about fraud, intentional infliction of damage and crimes against humanity? Based on the rules of criminal law asserting false facts concerning the PCR tests or intentional risk misrepresentation, as it was committed by Messrs Drosten and Wieler as well as the WHO, can only be assessed as fraud. Based on the rules of civil tort law, this translates into intentional infliction of damage. The German Professor of civil law, Martin Schwab, supports this finding in public interviews in a comprehensive legal opinion of around 180 pages. He has familiarised himself with the subject matter like no other legal scholar has done thus far and in particular has provided a detailed account of the complete failure of the mainstream media to report on the true facts of this so-called pandemic.
Messrs Drosten, Wieler and Tedros of the WHO all knew, based on their own expertise, or the expertise of their institutions, that the PCR tests cannot provide any information about infections but asserted over and over again to the general public that they can; with their counterparts all over the world repeating this. And they all knew, and accepted, that on the basis of their recommendations the governments of the world would decide on lockdowns, the rules for social distancing and mandatory wearing of masks. The latter, representing a very serious health hazard as more and more independent studies and expert statements show.
Under the rules of civil tort law, all those who have been harmed by these PCR tests, PCR tests induced lockdowns are entitled to receive full compensation for their losses. In particular, there is a duty to compensate, that is, a duty to pay damages, for the loss of profits suffered by companies and self-employed persons as a result of the lockdown, and other measures.
In the meantime, however, the anti-corona measures have caused and continue to cause such devastating damage to the world's population's health and economy that the crimes committed by Messrs Drosten, Wieler and the WHO must be legally qualified as actual crimes against humanity, as defined in Section 7 of the International Criminal Code.
How can we do something? What can we do?
Well, the class action is the best route to compensatory damages and to political consequences. The so-called class action lawsuit is based on English law and exists today in the USA and in Canada. It enables a court of law to allow complaint for damages to be tried as a class action lawsuit at the request of a plaintiff, if:
- as a result of a damage inducing event
- a large number of people, suffer the same type of damage
Phrased differently, a judge can allow a class-action lawsuit to go forward if common questions of law and fact make up the vital component of the lawsuit. Here, the common questions of law in fact revolve around the worldwide PCR test based lockdowns and its consequences; just like the VW diesel passenger cars were functioning products but they were defective due to a so-called defeat device because they didn't comply with the emissions standards, so too, the PCR tests, which are perfectly good products in other settings, are defective products when it comes to the diagnosis of infections.
Now if an American or Canadian company or an American or Canadian individual decides to sue these persons in the United States or Canada for damages, then the court called upon to resolve this dispute may, upon request, allow this complaint to be tried as a class action lawsuit. If this happens all affected parties worldwide will be informed about this through publications in the mainstream media and will thus have the opportunity to join this class action within a certain period of time to be determined by the court. It should be emphasised that nobody must join the class action, but every injured party can join the class action. The advantage of the class action is that only one trial is needed, namely, to try the complaint of a representative plaintiff who is affected in a manner typical of everyone else in the class.
This is firstly cheaper, and secondly faster, than hundreds of thousands or more individual lawsuits and thirdly it imposes less of a burden on the courts, fourthly as a rule, it allows a much more precise examination of the accusations than would be possible in the context of hundreds of thousands or, more likely in this corona setting, even millions of individual lawsuits.
In particular, the well-established and proven Anglo-American law of evidence, with its pre-trial discovery, is applicable. This requires that all evidence relevant for the determination of the lawsuit is put on the table. In contrast to the typical situation in German lawsuits with structural imbalance, that is, lawsuits involving on the one hand a consumer and on the other hand a powerful corporation; the withholding or even destruction of evidence is not without consequence, rather the party withholding or even destroying evidence loses the case under these evidence rules.
Here in Germany, a group of tort lawyers have banded together to help their clients with recovery of damages. They have provided all relevant information and forms for German plaintiffs to both estimate how much damage they have suffered and join the group or class of plaintiffs who will later join the class action when it goes forward either in Canada or the US.
Initially, this group of lawyers had considered to also collect and manage the claims for damages of other non-German plaintiffs but this proved to be unmanageable.
However, through an international lawyers’ network, which is growing larger by the day, the German group of attorneys provides to all of their colleagues, in all other countries, free of charge, all relevant information, including expert opinions and testimonies of experts showing that the PCR tests cannot detect infections and they also provide them with all relevant information as to how they can prepare and bundle the claims for damages of their clients so that they too can assert their clients claims for damages either in their home countries, courts of law, or within the framework of the class action as explained above.
These scandalous corona facts gathered mostly by the corona committee and summarised above are the very same facts that will soon be proven to be true, either in one court of law or in many courts of law, all over the world. These are the facts that will pull the masks off the faces of all those responsible for these crimes.
To the politicians, who believe those corrupt people, these facts are hereby offered as a lifeline, that can help you readjust your course of action and start the long overdue public scientific discussion and not go down with those charlatans and criminals.
Thank you

“….The epidemic is over
The statistics from around the world show that the COVID-19 emergency is effectively over. Data from NHS England shows COVID-19 deaths in England reached its peak around April.

JABS SUBMISSION to consultation document: changes to Human Medicine Regulations to support the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines (ends Friday 18 September 2020)
My name is Jackie Fletcher and I am from the JABS (Justice, Awareness & Basic Support) group, a support group for parents of vaccine-damaged children.
I wish to submit some comments for consideration and I thank you for this opportunity.
I regard the Government’s current measures, and the proposed changes to legislation in the new consultation document as deeply flawed and dangerous. In my opinion, the emergency measures should now be repealed as they are no longer warranted or proportionate to the situation.
The interventions which were introduced in a lock-step fashion under the emergency measures have been a strategic disaster, not only for all the people affected but for the economy and the Government’s credibility. These measures have had a catastrophic effect on millions of people, including the healthcare sector, with little or no debate from opposition parties in Parliament or challenges from mainstream media. In my opinion there cannot have been any adequate risk-assessment of the potential cost to people’s mental wellbeing, overall health and livelihoods, all in response to a perceived threat of a virus (which has never been isolated) similar to a virulent seasonal flu.
There clearly has been some kind of pathogen circulating worldwide causing severe illness in some vulnerable people with underlying health conditions. However, time has moved on and these vulnerable groups should now have access to widely available proven treatments such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) plus Zinc and others.
We now find that as hospitalisations and deaths associated with the virus have fallen to negligible levels the measures have increased and the narrative has changed to cases rather than deaths. There is also an inflated emphasis on a potential second wave with threats of further lockdowns and an escalating plan for mass vaccination programmes. This is not proportionate to the given situation.
Natural life-long herd immunity from the wild virus is far more effective than vaccine derived herd immunity which may only provide short-term protection (1). Note the forecasts of booster COVID-19 vaccines (2).
In my opinion, there is no compelling case, on public health grounds, for using a vaccine before it is given a product licence.
In the late '90's single antigen rubella vaccines and single antigen mumps vaccines became unlicensed although they had been available for use in the NHS since 1970 and 1972 respectively and ran alongside the MMR vaccines for anyone who declined the combined vaccines. Doctors and health professionals were warned not to give these now unlicensed vaccines, even though there was a huge demand for them from parents and had a history of use for over 25 years.
Now it is being proposed that brand new COVID-19 vaccines, with no track record of use, that we are led to believe only became a concept a few months ago, should be considered for use before a product licence is sanctioned.
Q. 1 Is this not a dishonest and dangerous double standard?
The JCVI will advise the Government on which COVID-19 vaccines the UK should use, and on the priority groups to receive the vaccine. Andrew Pollard, Professor of Paediatric Infection and Immunity is currently co-chair of the JCVI, he is also Chief investigator of the Oxford Vaccine Trial at Oxford University and co-author of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 AZD 1222 vaccine trial.
Q. 2 In terms of clarity and transparency is there a potential conflict of interest here with regard to one foot in each camp?
Medical practitioners, agents and the vaccine manufacturers have sought and been given liability free status and indemnity against prosecution by the Government.
Q. 3 Why is it that the only people taking any risk whatsoever are the people holding their arms out?
The Prime Minister must be aware that the proposed COVID-19 vaccine, as with all vaccines, will carry a risk of serious injury or death. Vaccine manufacturers' product information sheets attest to this with other vaccines. A recent example is the H1N1 vaccine which was introduced quickly into the population in 2009 and was found to be linked with narcolepsy and Guillain Barre syndrome (3) (4)
The Government is fully aware of the risks that vaccines pose to the public with regard to serious adverse events. Vaccine damage payments have been awarded to the sum of over £74 million and the DWP lists all the vaccinations currently eligible to be assessed. (5)
Q. 4 Will those overseeing this consultation document lobby Government to update the vaccine damage payment scheme to include all people over 21 years of age, include all vaccinations, and make the awards appropriate to the damage sustained on a par with current product liability claims?
In a recent letter to the British Medical Journal (BMJ), Arvind Joshi a Physician (Medicine and Therapeutics) wrote:
"There seems to be a great rush for bringing SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines in market. People are also eager for the Vaccine. In ordinary course a drug takes about 10 years from concept to market. If a drug is fast-tracked, it still takes about 3 years to be approved for use.
One has to be wary of haste in marketing Vaccines. Following points must be kept in mind:
1) How long the Immunity conferred by the Vaccine will last?
2) If the virus mutates, will the Vaccine protect against the new mutant?
3) Will the vaccine protect people of all geographic and ethnic origins equally well?
4) Will the vaccine be suitable for people of all ages?
5) Will there be very late onset adverse effects of the vaccine?
Very late onset adverse effects such as Subacute Sclerosing Pan Encephalitis (SSPE), cannot be ruled out with short duration trials.
Adverse effects like Subacute Sclerosing Pan Encephalitis, Ascending Polyneuritis, Myopathies, Autoimmune Diseases, and rarer chance of triggering development of malignancies are most dreaded possibilities.
Also worrisome prospects are that should any of these adverse effects develop, people will lose faith in vaccination and anti-vaccine campaigns will get a stick to beat with.
The rush for the vaccines should not lead to disaster." (6)
There is also the important issue of Informed Consent.
According to the British Medical Association: "In March 2015, a unanimous decision in the United Kingdom Supreme Court (Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board) made it clear that doctors must ensure their patients are aware of the risks of any treatments they offer and of the availability of any reasonable alternatives.....
...Doctors must 'take reasonable care to ensure that the patient is aware of any material risks involved in any treatment, and of any reasonable alternative or variant treatments'.
A 'material risk' is one in which 'a reasonable person in the patient's position would be likely to attach significance to the risk, or the doctor is or should reasonably be aware that the particular patient would be likely to attach significance to it'...
...When assessing risks, doctors cannot rely on percentages. The significance of a risk cannot be reduced to its likelihood.
Important factors will include:
- the nature of the risk, the effect which its occurrence would have upon the life of the patient
- the importance to the patient of the benefits sought to be achieved by the treatment
- the alternatives available and the risks involved in those alternatives…” (7) (8)
Unfortunately, some five years after the ruling stated above, this important legal advice is being ignored by the Government, not being followed by all doctors or disseminated to the public.
Q. 5 What measures will be put in place to ensure that all people will be allowed their right to make an Informed Consent?
In the consultation document it states: '...There is a possibility that both the flu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine will be delivered at the same time...'.
Q. 6 Where is the medical evidence to support that trials have been conducted to show giving both vaccines at the same time is safe and effective?
Q 7. The flu vaccine is known to challenge the immune systems of vaccinees and can leave them temporarily vulnerable to other upper respiratory infections including other circulating coronaviruses and flu viruses. Will this be a danger with the 2020 vaccines and which demographics could be adversely affected? (9)
Q. 8 If a person has an adverse reaction following the administration of both injections at the same time, how will a treating physician determine which vaccination has caused the adverse reaction?
Q 9. With regard to experimental, unlicensed COVID-19 vaccines and the 2020 flu vaccinations being offered are those doctors and all agency staff aware of the contents, ingredients, contraindications and risks of the vaccines given singly or in close combination and will this information be made known to individuals?
On the subject of vaccine safety data:
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the body that performs the functions of the UK's 'licensing authority'.
Q. 10 Are those in positions of public responsibility aware that currently health professionals only report between 2% and 10% of vaccine adverse reactions to the MHRA? (10)
Q. 11 Do those in positions of public responsibility know that the medicines watchdog, the MHRA, fails to follow up on every adverse reaction reported?
During meetings with the MHRA which I have attended, officers have stated that they do not routinely contact the reporting health professional, six months to 12 months later, to determine if the child or adult has fully recovered from the reaction or has further deteriorated.
Without this information neither the Department of Health nor doctors have any accurate safety data on vaccines. A point that has been raised with the government time and time again. (11) (12)
In the haste to speed up and implement vaccines for children and adults under the guise of emergency measures, caution is being thrown to the wind. People have a right to make informed consent. Doctors and anyone else authorised to vaccinate the public have a duty to facilitate this right under international agreements, conventions, and European and British law.
I thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the consultation.
I would appreciate it if you could consider the above questions and points carefully.

JABS OPEN LETTER - 30 August 2020
Please find below a letter which can be used as an example or adapted to write to medical professionals, health authorities, politicians or others regarding COVID-19 if it helps in any way.
Dear Doctor,
The current COVID-19 emergency measures.
I am writing with regard to the Government’s “emergency measures” which are to be reviewed in September 2020 and, in my opinion, should now be repealed as they are no longer warranted or proportionate to the current situation.
The interventions which were introduced in a lock-step fashion under the emergency measures have been a strategic disaster, not only for all the people affected but for the economy and the Government’s credibility. These measures have had a catastrophic effect on millions of people, including the healthcare sector, with little or no debate from opposition parties in Parliament or challenges from mainstream media. In my opinion there cannot have been any adequate risk-assessment of the potential cost to people’s mental wellbeing, overall health and livelihoods, all in response to a perceived threat of a virus (which has never been isolated) similar to a virulent seasonal flu.
The forced social distancing, isolation and face coverings imposed on healthy people have never been mandated on the British population in my lifetime. We were told these emergency measures were initially intended to be a short-term solution to protect the NHS’s ability to cope with a potential exponential rise in the infection rate of COVID-19.
There clearly has been some kind of pathogen circulating worldwide causing severe illness in some vulnerable people with underlying health conditions. However, we now find that as hospitalisations and deaths associated with the virus have fallen to negligible levels the measures have increased and the narrative has changed to a potential second wave with further lockdowns and mass vaccination programmes being threatened.
The virus (as attested in Sweden) has followed exactly the same path as other similar coronaviruses and flu - it has peaked, then declined to very low levels leaving those who were infected with some degree of natural immunity, without the need for vaccines or severe lockdowns.
Natural life-long herd immunity from the wild virus is far more effective than vaccine derived herd immunity which may only provide short-term protection (1). Note the forecasts of booster COVID-19 vaccines (2).
However, the Government is now further exaggerating the dangers of COVID-19 and raising to the next level to justify the rollout of fast-tracked, unlicensed vaccines which are by all accounts no longer warranted.
Under any reasonable, fact based, risk-assessment these emergency measures are now causing more physical and psychological damage than the virus itself and now need to be repealed as quickly as possible. I am certain the opposition from a growing number of well-informed doctors, scientists and public, worldwide. will escalate through increasing protests and legal challenges (3). Governments will not only lose credibility over their COVID-19 strategies but will also lose the trust of those who voted them into power. This has happened recently in Canada (4) and in Poland (5)
In a tweet received on the 23 August a nurse messaged: “I work for the NHS. If they make vaccines mandatory in the UK to continue my role, I will quit in a heartbeat and happily work in a warehouse. I’m not alone. How many good doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals are the NHS prepared to lose if this goes ahead?”
You will be aware that this crisis is not just happening in the UK. There are increasing numbers of protest marches taking place worldwide and a common theme is developing of a deep mistrust of the UK Government’s handling of the crisis. People want their lives to return to normal - not the ‘new normal’ the media keeps referring to - just normal. Normal doctor’s visits, normal workplace, normal schools, normal child-care facilities etc.
We now know so much more about the situation than we did at the beginning. Only those in certain vulnerable groups need to continue to be vigilant. However, they should now have access to potential proven treatments such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) plus Zinc.
I feel it is essential that the Government must conduct an open and independent public inquiry into the following COVID-19 issues:
Since 2004 a number of treatments in the form of HCQ, zinc with antibiotic (and other therapies) were known to be effective against coronavirus variants (e.g. SARS-CoV-1), but these treatments were recently politicised worldwide, then summarily dismissed as ineffective and dangerous, mainly as a result of World Health Organisation’s (WHO) funded studies which were later found to be fraudulent. These were published in eminent journals such as the Lancet (6) and the New England Journal of Medicine in the US which attracted wide public media attention, then had to be subsequently retracted.
It is now a growing concern that the treatment viability studies were stopped prematurely to clear the way for COVID-19 vaccine developments worldwide. The close co-operation between WHO, large corporations, governments and their agencies ensured investments of hundreds of millions of pounds, including tax-payers’ money, into fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccine development and production programmes.
The result of this close collaboration, and dismissal of HCQ, was to ensure the vaccine was accepted by the public as the only saviour from the coronavirus scourge and the only way to get back to normal. The greatest tragedy here is that effective treatments have been withheld from thousands of early stage COVID-19 patients whose lives could have been potentially saved.
Q 1. Should those responsible for producing the falsified data used in the retracted studies be investigated, exposed and prosecuted?
Q 2. Who was responsible for authorising medical studies (experiments) in which up to six times the safe dose of HCQ was given to patients even though such high levels were known to be toxic?
Q 3. Medics and scientists from across the globe have reported on front-line experiences of successful treatments with HCQ but they have been censored from the media and the internet. (7) Who is responsible for the collusion with the media to conduct such censorship on free speech?
Q 4. The aforementioned treatments have proven capable of helping patients in the early stages of COVID-19 infection and were widely available. Why were patients denied the choice of potential life saving treatments?
Over the course of this COVID-19 outbreak in the UK the scientific advice has been co-ordinated by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) co-chaired by a former GlaxoSmithKline employee and a recipient of a $40 million research grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation respectively, Sir Patrick Vallance and Professor Chris Whitty.
The Scientific Pandemic Influenza group on Behaviour (SPI-B) was convened in February 2020, which provided advice to SAGE on “helping” people adhere to government interventions and demands (8). In other words, psychology and coercion have been used to frighten the British public to conform to the emergency measures. (9)
Q 5. What was the Government’s overall objective by increasing the fear factor in the population?
Q 6. Was the fear that was generated used to lay the groundwork for the introduction of a compulsory COVID-19 vaccination?
Q 7. Why was it necessary to employ a strategy of social disapproval on people who failed to comply with the government’s guidelines and policy which was in essence inciting hatred against a minority group? (10) A minority group that might have very good reasons for not complying.0)
It appears that from the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak there has been a concerted effort by Government and a compliant mainstream and social media to ramp up the fear factor within the public. People had become increasingly concerned in the face of Public Health England’s (PHE) figures demonstrating a relentless daily toll of more than a hundred COVID-19 associated deaths several days a week. This was in stark contrast to the reports coming from neighbouring regions (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), when there were days with no COVID-19 associated deaths whatsoever. (9)
Q 8. Who was responsible in PHE for selecting this method of collecting the data in this misleading way?
In a recent study by Williams, Crookes, Glass and Glass they addressed the question of how many deaths in England and Wales are due to COVID-19. They suggest that the numbers of deaths associated with COVID-19 are overstated and that over their study period deaths were between 54% to 63% lower on average per week.
Another important consequence raised by the above authors is the number of deaths due to lockdown measures:
“…The finding that the Government’s lockdown policy increased mortality in net terms is likely to be of particular interest, but is unremarkable. As noted, the lockdown rationale was not to reduce mortality in the first place, but rather, to ‘flatten the curve’. When one then considers the possibility that the policy might cause mortalities through unintended consequences, such a result is entirely plausible. This suggests further avenues of work to better understand the nature of the unintended consequences may be important. For example, unintended consequences may relate to a reduction in the provision of, and access to, other forms of critical healthcare. They might also include individuals choosing not to access healthcare during the lockdown, say because they perceived the risk from COVID to be greater than other critical medical conditions. What is directly observable, however, is a large reduction in said critical healthcare during the lockdown period. This has profound implications for both future policymaking and behavioural science. On the former, it raises questions about the merits of blanket policy responses that contrast with material variances in the actual risk by age and demographics. On the latter, one must consider whether the design of Government communications to encourage citizens to comply with lockdown in the first place inadvertently drive other, more harmful, behaviours….’ (11)
Q 9. Why has the Government recently reduced the death rates attributed to COVID-19 by only 10% when other studies indicate a much lower figure, less than half? (12)
In a recent written report authored by the COVID-19 Whistle-Blower Doctors they have signed off on the following statement (13):
- As there is no dangerous virus in the COVID-19 pandemic, we can all just go back to our normal way of living.
- The worldwide Corona mass hysteria must end now.
- There is no reason to keep distance from anybody because of COVID-19. It is not dangerous even for very old people, if they do not have a serious disease threatening their life already.
- There is no reason to avoid being infected.
- There is no way you can avoid getting the infection if you live in a city, but most likely you will not even notice it, as 99% or so of infections are subclinical.
- There is no reason for closed borders, and lock downs, closed restaurants, workplaces, schools, etc.
- Getting the COVID-19 infection will strengthen your immune system, so you also will be immune to the next common cold you attract.
- Every healthy carrier spreads the harmless COVID-19 virus to countless other people through very small droplets (4-0.01m) we exhale.
- There is no reason for the use of facemasks, as a facemask cannot filter these small droplets.
- There is no way we can avoid getting the infection if we live in a city. There is therefore no reason for hygienic and antiseptic procedures to try to avoid COVID-19.
- There is no need for drugs or vaccines against COVID-19; vaccine has adverse effects and a general, global vaccination programme for the harmless COVID-19, which the World Health Organisation (WHO) has suggested will not benefit but only harm countless people.
- The politicians and media responsible for the unfortunate situation of the world must do their best to undo the damage they have caused, by uncritically believing in the WHO and following its advices.
- Common, immediate and strong efforts on a global scale must focus an avoiding lasting harm on the wellbeing of the people, the economy, and the culture of human relations.

“We wish to express our deepest gratitude for their courage to speak against the authorities that have chosen to follow the WHO instead of the scientific experts, in a time where many who know do not dare to speak.” (13)
Q 10. If growing numbers of doctors and scientists around the world are making similar claims as stated above regarding COVID-19 and criticising the WHO, government politicians and the healthcare sector how can the UK Government defend its current position of enforcing emergency measures, mass vaccination plans or extending lockdown beyond the next review?
At the moment the government appears to be hell-bent on continuing with stringent measures until a COVID-19 vaccine is available (14). This is, in my opinion, totally ruinous.
The Prime Minister is currently trying to convince the country to get back to work and for children to get back to school. However, at the same time he is saying the situation is so perilous that every single standard for a (fast-tracked, inadequately safety tested) vaccine has to be abandoned and expects everybody to take it or any other medicine he chooses to dole out.
A new consultation document has just been produced: “Changes to Human Medicine Regulations to support the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines”. (15)
This consultation paper is about the changes to the UK regulatory framework for human medicines, which are being introduced to clarify the regulatory context that is relevant to mass vaccination.
The JCVI will advise the Government on which COVID-19 vaccines the UK should use, and on the priority groups to receive the vaccine. Andrew Pollard, Professor of Paediatric Infection and Immunity is currently co-chair of the JCVI, he is also Chief investigator of the Oxford Vaccine Trial at Oxford University and co-author of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 AZD1222 vaccine trial.
Q 11. In terms of clarity and transparency is there a potential conflict of interest here with regard to one foot in each camp?
The medical practitioners, agents and the vaccine manufacturers have sought and been given liability free status and have been given indemnity against prosecution by the government.
Q 12. So why is it that the only people taking any risk whatsoever are the people holding their arms out.
The Prime Minister must be aware that the proposed COVID-19 vaccine, as with all vaccines, will carry a risk of serious injury or death. The manufacturers’ product information sheets attest to this with other vaccines. A recent example is the H1N1 vaccination which was introduced quickly into the population around 2009 and was found to be linked to narcolepsy and Guillain Barre syndrome (16) (17).
According to the British Medical Association: “In March 2015, a unanimous decision in the United Kingdom Supreme Court (Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board) made it clear that doctors must ensure their patients are aware of the risks of any treatments they offer and of the availability of any reasonable alternatives….
…Doctors must 'take reasonable care to ensure that the patient is aware of any material risks involved in any treatment, and of any reasonable alternative or variant treatments’.
A 'material risk' is one in which 'a reasonable person in the patient’s position would be likely to attach significance to the risk, or the doctor is or should reasonably be aware that the particular patient would be likely to attach significance to it’…
…When assessing risks, doctors cannot rely on percentages. The significance of a risk cannot be reduced to its likelihood.
Important factors will include:
- the nature of the risk, the effect which its occurrence would have upon the life of the patient
- the importance to the patient of the benefits sought to be achieved by the treatment
- the alternatives available and the risks involved in those alternatives…” (18) (19)
Unfortunately, some five years after the ruling stated above, this important legal advice is being ignored by the Government, not being followed by all doctors or disseminated to the public.
Q 13. With regard to experimental COVID-19 vaccines and the 2020 flu vaccinations are doctors aware of the contents, ingredients, contraindications and risks of the vaccines given singly or in close combination and will this information be made known to individuals?
Public Health press statements have claimed that: “…vaccines are perfectly safe and perfectly effective…. That some COVID-19 vaccines might only be twenty to thirty per cent effective and recipients may need a course of up to four vaccines per year…”
Q 14. These kinds of generalised statements are grossly irresponsible and need to be challenged by all medical professionals. Will you as a doctor adhere to your oath of “first do no harm” and challenge all those who ignore good practice and medical ethics?
Q 15. In usual circumstances a patient is offered advice and information by the doctor regarding the safety and efficacy of medicines being prescribed for a particular illness or condition. However, a vaccination for COVID-19 and the new flu vaccination will be classed as medical interventions for which no long term safety trials have been conducted. Are you as a doctor comfortable with this fast-tracked approach to vaccinating the public with unlicensed and inadequately safety tested vaccines?
The government is fully aware of the risks vaccines pose to the public with regard to serious adverse events. Vaccine damage payments have been awarded to the sum of over £74 million and the DWP lists all the vaccinations eligible to be assessed. (20)
Q 16. Will doctors lobby Government to update the vaccine damage payment scheme to include all people over 21 years of age, and all vaccinations?
With regard to vaccine safety data:
Q 17. Are doctors aware that health professionals only report between 2% and 10% of vaccine adverse reactions? (21)
Currently medical practices may well be conflicted by the financial entitlements paid to doctors for vaccinating children registered with the practice.
Q 18. Do you consider that his type of target based payment system may contribute to the high level of under-reporting of yellow cards and be a source of conflicts of interest?
Q 19. Do all doctors know that the medicines watchdog, the MHRA, fails to follow up on every adverse reaction reported?
During meetings with the MHRA which I have attended, officers have stated that they do not routinely contact the reporting health professional, six months to 12 months later, to determine if the child or adult has fully recovered from the reaction or has further deteriorated.
Without this information neither the Department of Health nor doctors have any accurate safety data on vaccines. A point that has been raised with the government time and time again. (22) (23)
In the haste to speed up and implement vaccines for children and adults under the guise of emergency measures, caution is being thrown to the wind. People have a right to make informed consent. Doctors and anyone else authorised to vaccinate the public have a duty to facilitate this right under international agreements, conventions, European and British law.
As you know we live in a democracy and therefore the people of this country have the right to freedom of expression and to engage and challenge those who make the decisions with regard to COVID-19 emergency measures and vaccination.
For democracy to work people need to trust those in positions of power and expect them to act in the best interests of the public’s health and not be beholden to public/private partnerships or other corporate interests, e.g. vaccine production and marketing. Forcing questionable public health policies that trample on personal human rights, for the claimed greater good, also threatens the liberties of the individual and community which are the very foundation of a civilised democratic society which should be coveted and protected by everyone.
I would appreciate it if you as our family doctor, could consider the above points and opinions carefully and raise any/all of these points with the Chief Medical Officer, Medical Defence Unions and other appropriate authorities. I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely

Price of living in fear - wrecked economy, millions jobless, young without hope and old in penury
By Frederick Forsyth - 28 August 2020, Daily Express
![274](_Media/274_med.jpeg)
There are some books that are well worth re-reading, even many years later. I have just finished such a one. It is called The Last Enemy, written by Richard Hillary. He was a young Australian who came here as a boy, went to school here and to Oxford in the late Thirties. At the outset of war he joined the RAF and quickly qualified as a pilot, assigned to Spitfires.
He flew as one of The Few in the Battle of Britain but was shot down and horribly burned as his fighter flamed out of the sky.
He spent many months, horribly disfigured (he had been drop-dead handsome), in surgery and on emerging insisted on going back into the air, though he qualified for permanent grounding. He crashed again and died, but he left his manuscript.
In it he said the last enemy was fear itself, and if you could conquer that bastard, you could beat all the others.
He was right, so right.
Which is why it makes me so sad to see our people, once the bravest in the world, consumed by a knicker-wetting panic, deliberately preached over many months by people who are supposed to be leading us.
Revelation after revelation shows the COVID-19 pandemic actually has a far lower death toll than we have been told. The books have been cooked, the figures doctored (which is more than we have been) and the lethality grossly exaggerated.
In the process our booming economy has been damaged almost beyond repair, hundreds of thousands of small and medium businesses destroyed, giants reduced to shells consumed by debt, millions made redundant and the hopes of the young smashed. The pending taxes alone will reduce millions expecting a comfortable old age to penury.
I suspect that one day the final, and accurate, picture will reveal the extra death toll to be 10 or 15 per cent more than the annual norm.
I doubt the spirit of Richard Hillary would even recognise us.

Look at the current situation in Italy, 13th August 2020, the premier and ministers are being held to account following more than 200 hundred complaints from citizens -
Translation of the last paragraph, with thanks to John Stone:
“As mentioned, there are more than two hundred complaints and complaints from citizens about the government's actions during the lockdown and the Coronavirus emergency. The complaints, passed to the pm Eugenio Albamonte and Giorgio Orano, concern two areas of management by the government: on the one hand, the executive is accused of not having been able to deal with the emergency. In the second strand, the complaints have been inserted in which crimes of abuse of office and attack against the political rights of the citizen for the imposition of the rules related to the lockdown.“

In Poland, 18 August 2020, the Health Minister and Deputy Health Minister have both resigned because of growing criticism for the ministry's handling of the coronavirus crisis.
https://uk.reuters.com/…/polands-health-minister-resigns-af…
Governments and Members of Parliament are in power because enough people voted for them. I am reminded again of the source of their power:
"The People Don't Know Their True Power"
"This is a cartoon that depicts politicians and where their source of power comes from - the people. The text on the cartoon is the main message. "The People Don't Know Their True Power." And it's true. The people don't. In our world today, politicians gain the support of the people, prime ministers and presidents are elected, dictators govern countries, but where is their power truly coming from? The people. Eloquence and manipulation plays a huge part in obtaining power over the people but if there were no people or if none gave in to support, eventually, the one trying to hold power will crash. In the cartoon, there is a politician at the very edge of a wide plank. If all the people stepped off that plank, gravity would pull him down and he would be nothing. He is nothing without the people. The one man that steps off the plank is enough to enforce the idea that if they all stepped off, he would fall. It also gives us the idea that it is the people's decision whether or not the politician stands or falls but they seem too oblivious to even notice what is beneath them as their heads are towards him. Supporting has great power as well. Without supporters, there would be no one to hold power over. Dictators would have no one to dictate to and no one following them if there were no supporters. The people believe that they need the leader, where in fact, the leader needs the people."

BMJ RRs: Informed Consent, Fluenz/Flumist, the politicization of COVID vaccination
…."According to Reuters, Ruud Dobber, a member of Astra's senior executive team, said "This is a unique situation where we as a company simply cannot take the risk if in...four years the vaccine is showing side effects".[4]
So AstraZeneca has been granted protection from future product liability, and children around the world will be left with the risk of side effects in order to supposedly protect the elderly.
In my opinion this is not ethical…..”

Aha. Now I understand why they are fighting Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) so fiercely… if there's an approved treatment, they can’t issue an Emergency Use Authorisation for a rushed vaccine.
One of the stipulations to getting emergency approval for a vaccine is there must be no adequate, approved, and available alternative.
Is this the reason they are squashing and censoring any talk of effective treatments? Follow the money!
The document below refers to the USA. It will be interesting to find out how many other countries have included the same stipulations in their emergency measures.

COVID Coercion: Boris Johnson's Psychological Attack on the UK Public
Coercion: the practice of forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner by use of threats or force
Over the course of the Covid-19 ‘crisis’, scientific advice to the UK Government has been co-ordinated by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE). SAGE is co-chaired by Sir Patrick Vallance (the Government Chief Science Advisor) and Professor Chris Whitty (the Chief Medical Officer).
We have already seen how SAGE has used external advisors to help direct the medical and social response. But the UK government also claims that “many issues around the coronavirus response relate to behaviour”.
SPI-B
During the 2009/10 ‘swine flu’ pandemic, SAGE received advice from a subgroup called the Scientific Pandemic Influenza group on Behaviour and Communications (SPI-B&C).
That group was reconvened on 13 February this year. This time, its remit was limited to behaviour and it was renamed the Scientific Pandemic Influenza group on Behaviour, or SPI-B……..

Britain's gone from lockdown to la-la-land! Doctor JOHN LEE says that as the devastation to our health and wealth becomes clear, our leaders are still in a fantasy world, in thrall to dodgy science
By DR JOHN LEE FOR THE DAILY MAIL
PUBLISHED: 23:17, 5 August 2020 | UPDATED: 09:17, 6 August 2020
Grounded in dubious science and cowardly politics, the grievous wounds we have inflicted upon ourselves with the Covid-19 lockdown are becoming more evident every day.
Britain's economic outlook is dire and job losses are mounting daily. It is clear many of those currently bankrolled by the Government's furlough scheme to lie on the beach, lawn or sofa will soon discover that they have no employment to return to in the autumn.
Meanwhile, disturbing figures reported in the Mail yesterday, reveal how alarm is spreading among doctors and patients at the continued mothballing of sectors of the NHS.
Measures designed to help the health service withstand coronavirus cases served their purpose. But now tens of thousands of people with cancer, heart disease and diabetes find themselves consigned to ever-longer waiting lists, left undiagnosed and untreated.
The damning survey by the Royal College of Physicians showed more than two-thirds of senior doctors and consultants were experiencing delays accessing outpatients' diagnostic tests and procedures.
Damning
Typically some 30,000 cases of cancer are diagnosed every month; since lockdown it has been roughly half that. And the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics reveal cancer deaths were almost four times higher than they should have been in June.
What this means in reality is that tens of thousands more people will die of cancer due to counter-measures for a virus that, according to the latest figures, is killing less than a tenth of the number it was at its peak and overall has resulted in a similar number of fatalities to those we'd expect during a bad influenza season. At the same time, waiting times nationwide for routine and even acute surgery are lengthening alarmingly.
In London alone, those waiting for procedures for more than a year have shot up to almost 20,000 from just 1,154 across England 18 months ago.We may never know precisely how many people in Britain have died and will die of Covid-19, but we know the death rate globally is very low, between 0.1 and 0.5 per cent of those infected, according to research group Swiss Policy Research.
We know that the majority of deaths occurred in people with pre-existing conditions and we also know that in England, the median age of those who died from Covid is above 80.
Every death is sad but should the country have been brought to such an abrupt halt — with catastrophic consequences?
In the eyes of many in the political and scientific establishment it was necessary. But as I warned on these pages back in May, the Government's eagerness to lockdown amounts to nothing more than the medicine of the madhouse.
There were no demands for a national shutdown in Britain in the winter of 2014/15, when more than 28,000 people died from seasonal flu; or during the Hong Kong flu epidemic of 1968, when a million people died worldwide, some 80,000 of them in Britain.
To put that in perspective, when Boris Johnson saw fit to implement total lockdown on March 23 there had been just 335 Covid deaths in Britain.
Of course, we are much more risk-averse today than in the Sixties, far less willing to accept death as our ultimate destiny or able to have a grown-up public discussion about it.
Part of the story has also been bad luck, with Boris Johnson contracting the virus and falling seriously ill in April. Clearly he was scarred by his ordeal, and since then, normal politics has been in abeyance, as a small group of Cabinet ministers absolve themselves of responsibility by deferring to what they call 'The Science’.
Yet the advice emerging from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) committee has been markedly unimpressive.
The problem with epidemiologists is that they are essentially modellers of the progress of a disease, so they are only as good as the assumptions and data they put in their models.
Parallels can be drawn with the models used by the banks before the 2008 financial crisis. Their creators thought they had modelled every eventuality. But their inputs were faulty, so they reached entirely the wrong conclusions about the solidity of global banks.
Apocalyptic
The same fate befell Professor Neil Ferguson, whose record for apocalyptic forecasting didn't stop the Government taking unprecedented action based on his data.
Yesterday, I listened in disbelief as Ferguson, a member of SAGE until he was forced to resign for allowing a girlfriend to visit him in defiance of a lockdown he helped devise, appeared on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme to warn that reopening schools next month risked increasing the infection rate.
His shamelessness is astounding. Here we had a scientist who has been proven wrong on countless predictions, pronouncing on the futures of millions of schoolchildren who have been out of school for six months, and whose chances of succumbing to the virus are minuscule.
He isn't alone in his doom-mongering. The day before his appearance, Dr David Nabarro, the World Health Organisation's special envoy on Covid-19, told the same programme we will see 'very bad surges' if more action isn't taken.
Throughout this crisis, watching the Prime Minister and his committee of experts puts me in mind of the brilliant Sky series Chernobyl, about Ukraine's nuclear disaster.
In it, we see ultimate rule by committee, the failure of political accountability and all the hallmarks of totalitarianism that have characterised our own handling of Covid-19.
Farcical
We like to believe we are better than the Soviet Union. But time and again we have seen the same totalitarian impulse in the Government's instructions, from Stay Home, Save Lives, Protect the NHS, to social distancing and wearing face masks — all in the absence of reliable evidence these measures do any real good and plenty to suggest harm.
In this crazy world, citizens who thought they lived in a sane, civilised country are treated like imbeciles, unable to make everyday risk assessments for themselves.
As a result, they are bound by farcical rules, exemplified by those governing the re-implemented Northern lockdown, where it is permitted to meet a lover with whom you do not co-habit in a hotel, but not in either of your private homes.
Meanwhile, no one dares to admit the lockdown itself may be completely misguided, because then everything that has been done in its name will be seen to have been pointless.
For months it has been clear that our own government and administrations internationally are in a fantasy world, determined to contain a virus which cannot be stamped out. Yet rather than face the uncomfortable truth we may have to learn to live with Covid-19, politicians are intent on pursuing policies which have devastating real-world effects.
No one can predict the precise course of this pandemic, but we can be certain many thousands will die who would not have but for the draconian Covid counter-measures.
And even for those who do survive, many of the experiences that make life worthwhile may become things of the past — unless we wake up to the fact that lockdown could have a higher cost than Covid itself.

Urgent Request For Support
Petition created by Scott Allmark
25 July 2020
"An extremely SIGNIFICANT petition has just been expedited through the petitions committee here in the UK, approved and published yesterday. Here it is in detail:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/332460/
Publish all scientific evidence and advice that informs policy decisions.
Publish and make publicly available the scientific advice and evidence that informs policy decisions. This would mean these were available for challenge and peer review.
The Government's Covid-19 Policy Responses are a prime example of the problem. Health and social care policies such as this affect everyone, and evidence continues to emerge which brings huge question and doubt as to whether the science-informed, science-led policies are empirically correct. Society is not a testing ground for theories. Science-informed policies need to be based upon scientific fact and peer-reviewed consensus.”

In response to The Express column writer, Judy Finnegan's, piece in today's newspaper (25/7/20), we have written this to the letters' page.
Dear Sir,
Re: Needled By Anti-Vaxxer Poppycock.
In this column piece at the weekend, Judy Finnegan, hailed the potential arrival of a Covid-19 vaccine as “fantastic news”. Oxford University researchers stated tests show this vaccine has stimulated “robust immune responses” with no serious side effects.
This new vaccine has not been tested against an inert placebo. It is being tested against a meningitis vaccine. As long as the vaccine doesn’t cause any greater number of problems than the meningitis vaccine it is deemed acceptable. The vaccine recipients have been chosen for their good health. How confident can any scientist be that they can extrapolate findings to show the new vaccine will be safe for the elderly and those with underlying health problems? The very group deemed to be more at risk from the illness.
Ms Finnegan refers to a survey which revealed: “that more than a quarter of Brits would probably refuse a vaccine, even if it had been proved safe.” She calls these people ‘crazy’ and refers to them as anti-vaxxers without pausing to consider why people might be reluctant to take a fast-tracked, already in production vaccine, before long-term safety trials across a section of the community deemed to need it most have had it, and been found to suffer no long-term consequences.
And on the subject of anti-vaxxers, I do not believe that anyone wakes up in the morning and suddenly decides: “Oh, I’m going to be an anti-vaxxer.” In my experience, and that of many thousands of British parents who have related their experiences to our group JABS, most have started as pro-vaxxers taking their children to be vaccinated. Their children, like my son, suffered a severe reaction to a vaccine and then developed serious long-term disabilities.
The cruel irony of this is that if the parents had been anti-vaxxers their children would not have been damaged by the vaccines. These parents, if you want to label them, should be called ex-vaxxers. They should not be insulted on top of injuries their children have suffered. These parents did not know they were exposing their children to such risks as, like me, we were told the vaccines were "perfectly safe" and the diseases the vaccines covered were deadly.
These children have taken a devastating hit (parents unknowing) for the sake of ‘herd immunity’ and the least journalists should do is speak with the ‘vaccine hesitant’ parents before forming a judgement.
I will end my response to Ms Finnegan’s column piece by stating that she should be aware that there is an intense debate in the scientific community on whether there is any unequivocal proof that this virus actually exists. She may find it of interest to read the attached monograph by Kevin Corbett MSc PhD. There is more to this story than meets the eye.

By PETER HITCHENS FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY
PUBLISHED: 00:09, 19 July 2020 | UPDATED: 00:13, 19 July 2020It
In the name of Covid, the State has already thrust itself into every corner of our existence.
It has come between husbands and wives at the ends of their lives. It has forbidden the old to embrace their grandchildren.
It has denied us funerals and weddings, locked the churches, silenced the ancient monastic music of cathedral choirs and prevented the free worship of God for the first time in 800 years, and banned us (unless we are Left-wing) from holding or attending public meetings.
It has ordered us to stay at home, scolded or fined us for sunbathing, going on country rambles or even entering our front gardens.
The Government began its wild, disproportionate shutdown of the country by spreading fear of a devastating plague that would destroy the NHS and kill untold thousands. Now, as many people find that Covid-19 is, in fact, nothing of the kind, new ways have to be found to keep up the alarm levels. Commuters are pictured above on the London Underground
It has forced millions of us to stop working, sabotaged the educations – at school and university – of untold numbers of young people and has become our boss and paymaster in the biggest state takeover of life and work ever attempted by non-Communists.
Soon we will discover that it has also wrecked an already wobbly economy and separated untold numbers of us from jobs and businesses we thought were safe. Soon, too, it will also separate us from our savings, through punishing tax and savage inflation, to pay for the disaster it has caused.
Now it presumes to tell us what to wear. And what it wants us to wear is a soggy cloth muzzle, a face-nappy that turns its wearer from a normal human into a mumbling, mouthless submissive.
And this, it seems, is popular. Is there nothing the modern British people will not put up with? Britain’s muzzle consumption is now so high that six months from now there will be reports of dolphins and whales floundering about in an ocean made sticky by millions of gallons of hand-sanitiser, as they choke on congealed clumps of used muzzles. These items are set to become the new plastic bags.
Why is this frenzy taking place?
Here is a clue. On July 12, Deborah Cohen, the medical correspondent of BBC2’s Newsnight, revealed an astonishing thing. The World Health Organisation (WHO) had reversed its advice on face masks, from ‘don’t wear them’ to ‘do wear them’.
But the key fact was that it had not done so because of scientific information – the evidence had not backed the wearing of face coverings – but because of political lobbying.
She revealed on Twitter that: ‘We had been told by various sources [that the] WHO committee reviewing the evidence had not backed masks but they recommended them due to political lobbying.’ She said the BBC had then put this to the WHO, which did not deny it.
In March, the WHO had said: ‘There is currently no evidence that wearing a mask (whether medical or other types) by healthy persons in the wider community setting, including universal community masking, can protect them from infection with respiratory viruses, including Covid-19.’
The American TV news channel CNN reported on March 31 that Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO health emergencies programme, had said at a briefing in Geneva: ‘There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit.
'In fact, there’s some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly.’
A few weeks ago, the WHO changed its advice to say it ‘advises that governments should encourage the general public to wear masks where there is widespread transmission and physical distancing is difficult, such as on public transport, in shops or in other confined or crowded environments.’
Earlier that same month, England’s chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, had said that wearing face masks would do little to combat the outbreak.
While noting that if someone was infected, they might reduce the danger of spreading the disease by covering their faces, Prof Whitty said wearing a face mask had almost no effect on reducing the risk of contracting the illness.
He stated: ‘In terms of wearing a mask, our advice is clear: that wearing a mask if you don’t have an infection reduces the risk almost not at all. So we do not advise that.’
People are seen walking down London's Oxford Street. There is plenty of research showing that the case for muzzles is poor, especially a survey done for the dental profession four years ago, which quietly vanished from the internet after mask opponents began to cite it
Also in March, the Advertising Standards Authority banned two firms’ advertisements for masks, saying that the adverts were ‘misleading, irresponsible and likely to cause fear without justifiable reason’.
At about the same time, Dr Jenny Harries, a Deputy Chief Medical Officer, warned that people could be putting themselves more at risk from contracting Covid by wearing muzzles. She said masks could ‘actually trap the virus’, and cause the person wearing it to breathe it in. She explained: ‘For the average member of the public walking down a street, it is not a good idea.’
On April 3, the other Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, said he did not believe healthy people wearing them would reduce the spread of the disease in the UK.
The British Government has also zig-zagged. As recently as June 24, in a series of official pamphlets for reopening shops and services, the Department for Business and Enterprise said repeatedly: ‘The evidence of the benefit of using a face covering to protect others is weak and the effect is likely to be small.’
This was true at the time and it is still true. The evidence is indeed weak. There is plenty of research showing that the case for muzzles is poor, especially a survey done for the dental profession four years ago, which quietly vanished from the internet after mask opponents began to cite it.
The scientific papers in favour of muzzling are full of weak, hesitant words such as ‘probably, ‘could’ and ‘may’ – which can equally well be expressed as ‘probably not’, ‘could not’ or ‘may not’.
There has not been any great discovery in the past few days.
Generally, the main way of discovering if something works is the Randomised Control Trial (RCT), in which the proposed treatment or method is tested directly and thoroughly.
This hasn’t been done with muzzles, probably because it would be a bit difficult and possibly because muzzle zealots fear the results would not help their case.
Amazingly, the chief spokesman for science in this country, who should surely support proper rigour, has dismissed such RCTs.
Venki Ramakrishnan, president of the Royal Society, sneered at ‘inappropriate’ RCTs as ‘methodological fetishism’. He did this while advocating more compulsory muzzle-wearing when he appeared on Radio 4’s Today programme on July 7 – as the political lobbying for muzzles intensified. All that has changed is the politics.
Why are they changing?
Interestingly, Health Secretary Matt Hancock’s muzzle edict was the first action by the London Government which actually copied a move made by Nicola Sturgeon’s extremely Left-wing Edinburgh administration.
There are many signs that it has not been thought through, at least by scientists.
Why are we more likely to spread Covid in a shop than we are to do so in a pub or restaurant? The question cannot be answered.
What evidence there is certainly suggests that the risk of transmission is greater if we linger longer, but the Government does not dare close down the catering trade again, because it would be wildly unpopular and because these businesses are on the point of bankruptcy – and such an action would shut them.
The truth is that the muzzle policy is all about power and fear.
The Government began its wild, disproportionate shutdown of the country by spreading fear of a devastating plague that would destroy the NHS and kill untold thousands
.Now, as many people find that Covid-19 is, in fact, nothing of the kind, new ways have to be found to keep up the alarm levels.
One was exposed on Friday by the superb scientists of the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. Puzzled by the way that Covid death figures in England continued to pour in, while they had all but ceased in Scotland, they looked at the figures from Public Health England (PHE).
And they found, in their own devastating words ‘It seems that PHE regularly looks for people on the NHS database who have ever tested positive, and simply checks to see if they are still alive or not.
‘PHE does not appear to consider how long ago the Covid test result was, nor whether the person has been successfully treated in hospital and discharged to the community. Anyone who has tested Covid positive but subsequently died at a later date of any cause will be included on the PHE Covid death figures.
‘By this PHE definition, no one with Covid in England is allowed to ever recover from their illness. A patient who has tested positive, but been successfully treated and discharged from hospital, will still be counted as a Covid death even if they had a heart attack or were run over by a bus three months later.’
This problem would be avoided by having a simple cut-off, where those who tested positive more than 28 days ago were no longer counted as Covid deaths. Scotland does this. That is why its figures are lower.
Findings are now also pouring in which suggest that a horribly high number of the excess deaths during the last few months were not caused by Covid, but by people failing to seek treatment for heart attacks, strokes and cancer.
Despite the propagandists of the BBC, which has tried as hard as it can never to mention the legions of dissenting scientists who dispute the Government’s policy, people are beginning to wonder, in increasing numbers, if they might have been taken for a ride.
This Government has no great authority. It is a Cabinet of undistinguished, inexperienced unknowns, headed by an exhausted and empty Prime Minister whose sparkle, such as it was, is fast fading.
In a few weeks’ time, the Government faces the onset of what may be the worst economic crisis since 1929. It needs to keep the fear levels up to maintain its authority.
One way of doing this is the ceaseless promotion of an alleged ‘second wave’ of Covid, for which there is no evidence.
Another is to undertake a ferocious testing policy. This is now happening in Leicester where testers go from door to door to discover people who are ‘infected’ with Covid, even if they have no symptoms (which is usually the case) and are perfectly healthy. Then they can raise the alarm and close down the city.
But muzzling the populace is even better. People such as me, who think Ministers’ response to the virus is wildly out of proportion, have until now been able to live amid the propaganda, trying to stay sane.
But the muzzle is a badge of subservience and submission. Anyone who dons it publicly is agreeing to the Government’s crazy assessment of the level of danger.
Societies in which citizens are discouraged from speaking out against the regime, as this has become, are pretty disgraceful. But countries where the citizens are compelled to endorse the opinion of the state are a serious step further down the path to totalitarianism.
It is even worse than that.
Look at the muzzled multitudes, their wide eyes peering out anxiously from above the hideous gag which obscures half their faces and turns them from normal human beings into mouthless, obedient submissives. The psychological effect of these garments, on those who wear them, is huge.
In a few weeks’ time, the Government faces the onset of what may be the worst economic crisis since 1929. It needs to keep the fear levels up to maintain its authority. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is pictured wearing a mask
And it also has another nasty result for society as a whole.
Dissenters, who prefer not to muzzle themselves, are made to stand out from the surrendered majority, who then become quite keen on pressuring the non- conformists to do as they are told, and on informing against them.
I predicted the same outcome during the House Arrest period in April, and was mocked for it, but it came true.
When all this began, I felt fear. But it was not fear of the disease, which was clearly overstated from the start.
It was fear of exactly what is happening to us, the final closing down of centuries of human liberty and the transformation of one of the freest countries on Earth into a regimented, conformist society, under perpetual surveillance, in which a subservient people scurries about beneath the stern gaze of authority.
It is my view that, if you don that muzzle, you are giving your assent to that change.

An Open Letter to Mr Geordie Greig
The Editor of the Daily Mail, Northcliffe House, 2 Derry Street Kensington London W8 5TT
Dear Sir
Re: Daily Mail Campaign - “MMR myths and online scare stories”; “The MMR Middle Class Revolt”; “Fatal Infection Of Fake News”; “Don’t Take Vaccines For Granted”
Just to introduce some balance, I am the mother of an MMR vaccine damaged son, Robert Fletcher, who was awarded a vaccine damage payment in 2010 by the DWP Vaccine Damage Payment Unit Tribunal Service. (1)
Robert received his MMR vaccine in 1992 when he was 13 months old and as a result suffered an epileptic encephalopathy and severe brain damage. He has severe learning difficulties, has uncontrolled seizures, is wheelchair bound, doubly incontinent, can’t talk and requires 24 hour care. Following Robert’s catastrophic reaction to his baby vaccines I decided to research the adverse events reported to the medical authorities after childhood vaccines and found that Robert was not the only “coincidence” or “one-in-a-million” victim.
Following advice given by Sir Ian McCartney, the then Labour MP for Makerfield and Shadow Health Minister, I set up a support group with other parents at the beginning of 1994 called Justice, Awareness & Basic Support (JABS). Sir Ian addressed the meeting at its launch at Wigan Town Hall.
Since the group was formed in January 1994 families have reported severe adverse reactions to many vaccinations in their children. These parents are, in the main, stating similar time frames, symptoms and long term problems consistent with the vaccine manufacturers’ own data sheets. In the vast majority of cases the parents have been told, as we were: “It’s just a coincidence”.
According to the critics of our group it seems we parents are suffering from a delusory syndrome. I would put it to you that the advisory agencies to the Department of Health are themselves suffering from a syndrome - “The Emperor’s New Clothes Syndrome”. They are busily advising the government and medical professionals that everything is fine - so therefore it is. Like the little boy in the story parents can clearly see the obvious - not what they are told to see over and over again.
We, as a group, are often accused of scaremongering, but think about it, if there is any suspicion of a problem with any vaccine or drug product why should we as parents close our eyes and our minds and accept blindly what we are told?
The DM states as fact that: “numerous studies have confirmed that MMR does not harm babies immune systems or cause autism”.
No links between autism and vaccines: Really?
a) Dr Andrew Zimmerman, paediatric neurologist, a world-renowned pro-vaccine expert medical witness for the US government has issued a sworn affidavit which says that he spoke with Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys and specifically the lead DOJ attorney during a break in the court proceedings to explain that he'd discovered "exceptions in which vaccination could cause autism.”
"More specifically, I explained that in a subset of children with an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction, vaccine induced fever and immune stimulation that exceeded metabolic energy reserves could, and in at least one of my patients, did cause regressive encephalopathy with features of autism spectrum disorder.”
"I explained that my opinion regarding exceptions in which vaccines could cause autism was based upon advances in science, medicine, and clinical research of one of my patients in particular.” (2)
It has recently been discovered that Dr Zimmerman was selected by the US Department of Justice to act as an expert witness in the 2007 Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP).
In the US the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) has Special Masters, not judges, that preside over cases. At the time, 5,400 petitioners brought claims that vaccine injury had caused their children's autism. The cases were collected and became known as the OAP.
Hearings were established by the Special Masters to address all the cases through six test cases which would be used to test three theories of autism causation via vaccine damage.
b) Julie Gerberding, at the time the US Director for the Centers for Disease Control, told Sanjay Gupta on CNN:
"Now, we all know that vaccines can occasionally cause fevers in kids. So if a child was immunized, got a fever, had other complications from the vaccines. And if you’re predisposed with the mitochondrial disorder, it can certainly set off some damage. Some of the symptoms can be symptoms that have characteristics of autism.” (3)
c) On separate occasions the Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration told journalists Sharyl Atkisson (4) and David Kirby (5) :
"The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actually caused by vaccines. We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures.” (4)
Unfortunately, until the safety science is done the numbers of vaccine hesitancy parents will continue to grow irrespective of your campaign, not because they are suffering from some illogical syndrome, but because they are rational, straight thinking people who have had enough of successive governments not listening.
The middle classes, your target readership, are not stupid or gullible. They are pushing back against the growing number of attacks on their intelligence and integrity by critics who choose to ignore that a growing number of families are experiencing serious vaccine adverse reactions in their own children. The government must be open and act to investigate their complaints, not vilify them as “anti-vaxxers” as this will only convince them the authorities have something to hide.
Government and health professionals are responsible for advising the public about the risks and benefits of vaccinations and should be held to account for their information and advice. Likewise the media has a responsibility to hold our policy-makers to account by scrutinising their claims, not to automatically endorse the government line and join in the condemnation of parents.
In my opinion the government is massively conflicted as it is in charge of two competing duties. On one hand it is responsible for vaccine safety and on the other is responsible for promoting vaccine uptake and also defending against any claim of vaccine damage.
Regrettably, it appears that the government has chosen to focus almost entirely on its vaccine promotion and defence function to such a degree that it has essentially abandoned its vaccine safety responsibility.
There are major flaws in the childhood vaccination programme that need to be addressed. The DM is in a good position to champion this.
We need well-balanced and objective journalism. Why have your reporters not asked parents for their reasons with regards to vaccine hesitancy; not discussed the latest published science; not questioned the increasing demand for special education places; nor held the government to account for the lack of vaccine safety studies against inert placebos or made a comparison against unvaccinated groups?
We have a number of questions, that if answered, could help resolve this issue without further polarising the situation and creating greater hostility towards people who have genuine concerns.
Please ask the government ministers, medical experts, university organisations and charity spokespeople you have quoted in your campaign to answer the following questions:
Q1. Have MMR and other vaccines ever been trialled against inert placebos, widely accepted as the gold standard for testing of medicines? (6)
Q2. If the government is concerned about measles cases rising why haven’t they offered the alternative of single measles, mumps and rubella as separate vaccines as a choice for children and adults? (7)
Q3. Has the government added into the statistics those who have opted to have the single measles vaccines through private clinics?
Q4. Why does the government not take action against health professionals who only report between 2% and 10% of vaccine adverse reactions? (8)
Q5. Why does the government’s agency, the Medicines Healthcare Regulatory Authority fail to follow-up on every adverse vaccine reaction reported?
During meetings with the MHRA which I have attended, officers have stated that they do not routinely contact the reporting health professional, six months to 12 months later, to determine if the child fully recovered from the reaction or has further deteriorated.
Q6. Why is it that Public Health England can tell us how many laboratory confirmed measles and mumps cases there are but not how many serious adverse reactions to vaccines have occurred?
Q7. Why does the government accept a lack of comprehensive and accurate safety data on vaccines?
Q8. Should the DM ask all the vaccine advocates being quoted in the campaign, including government ministers, whether they receive direct or indirect funding from the pharmaceutical industry to rule out any conflict of interest?
Q9. Could the DM confirm that ex-head of Research and Development, GSK, Sir Patrick Vallance, has become Chief Scientific Adviser to the British government and, if so, is there any potential conflict of interest here?
Q10. Why is the Public Health England’s MMR pamphlet (which sanitises and downplays the risks of vaccines) widely available to parents rather than the vaccine manufacturers’ patient information leaflets? (9) (10) (11)
Q11. Parents have a right to make an informed consent. The standard for Informed Consent is set by the Supreme Court’s Montgomery ruling of 2015. According to the British Medical Association when doctors are seeking consent they need to ask themselves three questions:
Is the patient aware of any risks relevant to his or her decision regarding the proposed treatment?
Is the patient aware of any reasonable alternatives and their associated risks and benefits?
Have I taken all reasonable measures to ensure that I have presented this information in a form the patient understands? (12)
Has the government put in place necessary procedures and instructions for health professionals to follow this legal requirement and for patients and parents to have time for a considered decision?
Q12. Where is the science to show vaccines have been tested: for: carcinogenicity – the ability to cause cancer; toxicity – the degree to which a substance can damage an organism; genotoxicity – the ability to damage genetic information; mutagenicity – ability to change the genetic material; the impact on fertility, or for long-term protection?
The people you label as “anti-vaxxers” or “vaccine hesitant” are usually, in my experience, well read, informed parents who have either experienced vaccine damage first hand or are close to someone who has been a victim of vaccine damage.
They will be aware that vaccines are a complex mixture of biological and reactive chemicals that are injected, which allows the ingredients to bypass the natural portals of entry and the normal protective filters such as the lungs, digestive organs and the skin. They will be aware that this method of delivery permits the ingredients contained in vaccines to enter the bloodstream and potentially cross the blood-brain barrier.
They will be aware that vaccine manufacturers’ product sheets list known neurotoxins like aluminum, chemically and genetically altered viruses, antibiotics, preservatives, detergents, stabilisers, neutralisers, carrying agents, Polysorbate 80, MSG, formaldehyde, glyphosate and other potentially harmful ingredients.
Although I disagree with DM’s sensationalist and blitz approach to its campaign I am sure the DM is not suggesting parents need to accept adverse vaccine reactions as normal, to ignore the markers for potential neurological damage, to simply let their children take a hit for the community, to accept that vaccine damage is nothing but a coincidence to protect and defend the vaccination programme.
This is not a simple for or against vaccine issue, it is complex and can’t be resolved by trying to persuading the public that a “one-size-fits-all” programme is safe and effective for everyone. No child or adult is immune to potential vaccine damage as many, including health professionals, have found to their cost. Vaccine damage does not discriminate whatever your views on the vaccine issues may be.
Again, without the safety science and accurate safety data no one, including government and all the so-called experts presented here, are able to assess the risks and benefits of vaccination to the satisfaction of the public.
The parents of vaccine damaged children, like myself:
listened to their doctor’s advice and accepted, when told, that the vaccines and the schedule was perfectly safe
witnessed their child’s serious, life changing or life ending adverse event
realised too late that they had not made an informed decision
had been misinformed by medical professionals who were either complicit or ignorant of the facts
have been attacked and vilified by vaccine advocates for exposing the massive flaws in vaccination policy and practice in the UK
did not realise that medical professionals who follow government guidelines take no responsibility for vaccine damage whatsoever
was unaware that government policy-makers and regulators have direct and indirect conflicts of interest through public/private partnerships
didn’t know that the government’s policy makers accept and sanction childhood vaccines without comprehensive, accurate data on the safety of vaccines
UK history demonstrates that in the early part of the 20th century measles was indeed a killer, however, by the time the single measles (1967) and MMR vaccines (1988) were introduced it had become a relatively mild disease and mortality was very low. (13) (14)
In the pre-vaccine era we know natural measles led to life-long immunity for most people and provided maternal immunity for babies under twelve months of age. MMR vaccines do not create sufficient maternal immunity which has resulted in measles being potentially much more dangerous for babies of this age group. Measles could also be more dangerous in adults where vaccine immunity has waned (15)
In 1988 the Government’s health minister promised only one MMR vaccine would be necessary to provide life-long immunity. (16) That turned out to be wrong as a second MMR was soon deemed necessary at pre-school age to offer ‘full’ protection. (17)
Mr Stevens the head of NHS England has accepted recently that children vaccinated with two MMR vaccines can still catch mumps as teenagers and adults which also contradicts government’s claims of efficacy for the MMR vaccine. The woman reported in the DM campaign is a prime example.
Public Health press statements have claimed that: “…[MMR] is perfectly safe and perfectly effective.” “That may mean that some young children will have three MMR jabs…That is not a problem. It is perfectly safe and perfectly effective.” and one of the strongest claims: “There’s no adverse effect to this extra jab [3rd MMR]….” (18) (19)
These statements are totally at odds with the MMR vaccine manufacturers’ product sheets and dismiss out of hand the acceptance and payments made by the Government’s DWP Vaccine Damage Payment Unit, over £74 million has been awarded to date even with its extremely strict criteria. (20) (21)
A recent study sponsored by vaccine-makers compared two MMR vaccines:
Merck’s MMR II and GSK’s Priorix, both used in the UK. The children in the study were given a version of MMR and other vaccines and the results of the study were published. Adverse events resulting in emergency room visit: 10.1% in one group 10.4% in the other group. New onset chronic diseases following the vaccinations: 3.4% in one group 3.7% in the other group. Given that our vaccine policy-makers usually quote the chance of a severe reaction as 1 in a million, using the figures in the study this could mean if you vaccinated 1 million children with either MMR vaccine, 34,000 in one group and 37,000 in the other group were at risk of new onset chronic diseases. (22) (23)
Do these extraordinary figures not give anyone cause for concern?
The US government created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program in 1986 and the pharmaceutical companies had to contribute to the scheme. Up until August 1997, ‘… these taxes were imposed on each vaccine using a risk-based formula in which DTP, DTaP, or any pertussis containing combination was taxed at $4.56 per dose; DT, Td, or TT was taxed at $0.06; MMR, MR, M, or R was taxed at $4.44; and polio (both OPV & IPV) was taxed at $0.29….’ (24)
This gives an indication of which vaccines the US government and the pharmaceutical companies deemed carried the highest risk of a serious adverse reaction. Since the inception of the NVICP the US authorities have paid out over $4.1 billion.
In recorded outbreaks of measles in the US where laboratory testing has been conducted up to 38 percent of cases were confirmed as vaccine strain measles in the Disneyland outbreak. The vaccine virus is known to shed and in a highly vaccinated population people may well pose a greater danger to those who are immune compromised or cannot be vaccinated for other medical reasons. (25)
When we study the UK government statistics we find that contrary to the World Health Organisation’s claim of our “measles free” status (in 2017) the UK has never been completely measles free. Over the last twenty years the numbers of measles notifications have fluctuated up and down. In the period 1996 to 2016 according to PHE there were approximately 70,000 notifications at an average of 3,500 cases per annum. If the laboratory confirmed cases averaged 20 percent of that figure that would equate to 700 cases per year as actual measles. As a percentage of the population of 65 million that is 0.001%. The fatalities from measles over that period of 20 years would equate to 1.1 per annum or 0.0000016% in the population. (26) (27)
To make sense of these figures government would need to compare these with the numbers of vaccine damage cases and vaccine fatalities. However, as mentioned above health professionals are failing to report all suspected adverse reactions and the MHRA is failing to follow up on the reports the agency does receive. Therefore, I repeat, they are conducting a vaccination programme without any accurate safety data on which to determine the risks and benefits of vaccination.
The government has a history of dismissing high levels of serious adverse reactions. In November 1994 seven million children aged 5 – 16 years were vaccinated in a national measles/rubella campaign. When they reviewed the campaign 12 months later the then Committee on Safety of Medicines (C.S.M.) stated that serious reactions to the vaccine were very rare, but then admitted there had been 530 serious reactions.
Given that the chief medical officer’s figure of ‘one in a million’ for vaccine encephalitis is usually quoted for adverse reactions and only seven million – not 530 million – pupils were vaccinated, there appears to be something wrong with their definition of ‘rare’.
The C.S.M. tried to qualify the statement by reporting that cases of encephalitis, convulsions and Guillain-Barre syndrome were lower than the background prevalence of those conditions. The actual numbers are irrelevant. If previously, healthy children reacted within the measles/rubella incubation period with symptoms and long-term problems listed in the drug companies’ own data sheets, the most important factor is whether the life-changing health problem was caused by the injection.
So the question that must be asked is: why are the government, media and the other organisations quoted in the DM campaign trying to panic, press and coerce parents to accept all vaccines as safe and effective in a one-size-fits-all method when they do not have the data or evidence to support this?
It should be of interest to the Daily Mail to note that a lawsuit involving 100 people in Ireland citing narcolepsy and the human swine flu vaccine has just begun before the Irish High Court. The news item reported that the defendants are the Minister for Health, the HSE, HPRA and the Pandemrix vaccine manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SA GSK. (28)
In June 2017 it was reported that the European Courts of Justice had ruled that a vaccine can be considered defective - and thus the cause of a disease - if there is "specific and consistent evidence" related to when the vaccine was administered, the patient's previous state of health, the lack of family history of the disease, and a significant number of reported cases of the disease occurring following vaccination. The court went on to state that such factors could lead a court to determine that "the administering of the vaccine is the most plausible explanation" for the disease, and that "the vaccine therefore does not offer the safety that one is entitled to expect,”. (29)
For those who want to promote vaccines and downplay the risks without any guarantees of safety and efficacy for a medical intervention should take note of this Irish legal action. It may take a successful vaccine lawsuit to make private industry and public healthcare organisations sit up and take notice of people’s concerns and anger.
We can’t as a society continue to treat our children as statistics and acceptable casualties caught in the crossfire in the war against childhood disease. I would ask you as a major media influence to please open your eyes, open your minds and see for yourselves what is in front of you.
Yours faithfully

Child vaccination rates in England fall across the board, figures show
https://www.bmj.com/content/366/bmj.l5773/rapid-responses
Rapid response by Jackie Fletcher, Founder of JABS
According to the British Medical Association:
“In March 2015, a unanimous decision in the United Kingdom Supreme Court (Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board) made it clear that doctors must ensure their patients are aware of the risks of any treatments they offer and of the availability of any reasonable alternatives….
…Doctors must 'take reasonable care to ensure that the patient is aware of any material risks involved in any treatment, and of any reasonable alternative or variant treatments’.
A 'material risk' is one in which 'a reasonable person in the patient’s position would be likely to attach significance to the risk, or the doctor is or should reasonably be aware that the particular patient would be likely to attach significance to it’…
…When assessing risks, doctors cannot rely on percentages. The significance of a risk cannot be reduced to its likelihood.
Important factors will include:
the nature of the risk, the effect which its occurrence would have upon the life of the patient
the importance to the patient of the benefits sought to be achieved by the treatment
the alternatives available and the risks involved in those alternatives…” (1)
Unfortunately, some four years after the ruling stated above, this important legal advice is still not being followed by all doctors and disseminated to parents.
With regard to vaccinations are all doctors aware of the contents, ingredients, contraindications and risks of vaccines posed for the individual child before attempting to advise the individual parent?
Public Health press statements have claimed that: “…[MMR] is perfectly safe and perfectly effective.” “That may mean that some young children will have three MMR jabs…That is not a problem. It is perfectly safe and perfectly effective.” and one of the strongest claims: “There’s no adverse effect to this extra jab [3rd MMR]….” (2) (3)
Parents AND doctors are bombarded with this type of misinformation.
If a parent is offered any information by the doctor it will be the Public Health England pamphlet which is designed to promote the vaccine and allay any fears a parent (or doctor) might have about the product. (4)
However, the vaccine manufacturers’ patient information leaflets (PIL) supplied with the vaccines carry details of contraindications, warnings and risk of serious side effects. (5) (6)
The government is fully aware of the risks as vaccine damage payments have been awarded to the sum of over £74 million and the DWP lists all the childhood vaccinations eligible to be assessed. (7)
But parents are not routinely given the PIL and are never informed of the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme at the time of vaccination.
With regard to vaccine safety data:
Are doctors aware that health professionals only report between 2% and 10% of vaccine adverse reactions? (8)
Currently medical practices may well be conflicted by the financial entitlements paid to doctors for vaccinating children registered with the practice. This type of target based payment system may contribute to the high level of under-reporting of yellow cards. In my opinion, a major conflict of interest.
Do all doctors know that the medicines watchdog, the MHRA, does not follow up on every adverse reaction reported? During meetings with the MHRA which I have attended, officers have stated that they do not routinely contact the reporting health professional, six months to 12 months later, to determine if the child fully recovered from the reaction or has further deteriorated.
Without this information neither Public Health England nor doctors have any accurate safety data on vaccines. A point that has been raised with the government time and time again. (9) (10)
In the haste to speed up and streamline more and more vaccines for children the right to informed consent is being ignored. This is not only dangerous for the child from a health point of view but also for the health professional from a potential litigation point of view.
Parents have a right to make informed consent. Doctors have a duty to facilitate this right.

13 September 2019
An Open Letter to The Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP
The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care,
Houses of Parliament
Westminster
London SW1A 0AA
Dear Sir
I refer to the recent press coverage in the Guardian and Daily Mail newspapers (September 2019) where GP chairpersons of clinical commissioning groups in London have written to you promoting compulsory MMR vaccines for four and five year old pre-school children. It is reported that this suggested “shift in policy” is to “tackle ‘complacency’ among parents”.
In my experience parents are anything but complacent when it comes to the health of their children. It is the parents who hit a brick wall when they ask their doctors important questions about the real risks of the vaccines compared to the real risks of the illnesses.
In my opinion the signatories to the letter, and Mr Stevens (NHS Chief Executive) and the writers of these one-sided biased articles present a very simplistic understanding of the capacity of vaccines to prevent disease, and show either ignorance or callous disregard for the harm vaccines can and do sometimes cause.
To give an example of the harm caused by vaccines Professor Peter Aaby, ASc DMSc reported on a retrospective study for mortality in children given the DTP vaccine in Guinea Bissau, Africa: The Introduction of Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis and Oral Polio Vaccine Among Young Infants in an Urban African Community: A Natural Experiment.
The conclusions stated: “DTP was associated with 5-fold higher mortality than being unvaccinated. No prospective study has shown beneficial survival effects of DTP. Unfortunately, DTP is the most widely used vaccine, and the proportion who receives DTP3 is used globally as an indicator of the performance of national vaccination programs.
It should be of concern that the effect of routine vaccinations on all-cause mortality was not tested in randomized trials. All currently available evidence suggests that DTP vaccine may kill more children from other causes than it saves from diphtheria, tetanus or pertussis. Though a vaccine protects children against the target disease it may simultaneously increase susceptibility to unrelated infections.”(1)
History demonstrates that in the early part of the 20th century measles was indeed a killer, however, by the time the single measles (1967) and MMR vaccines (1988) were introduced it had become a relatively mild disease and mortality was very low. (2) (3)
Natural measles led to life-long immunity for most people and provided maternal immunity for babies under twelve months of age. MMR vaccines do not create sufficient maternal immunity which has resulted in measles being potentially much more dangerous for babies of this age group. Measles could also be more dangerous in adults where vaccine immunity has waned (4)
In 1988 the Government’s health minister promised only one MMR vaccine would be necessary to provide life-long immunity. (5) That turned out to be wrong as a second MMR was soon deemed necessary at pre-school age to offer ‘full’ protection. (6)
Mr Stevens has accepted recently that children vaccinated with two MMR vaccines can still catch mumps as teenagers and adults which also contradicts Government’s claims of efficacy for the MMR vaccine.
Public Health press statements have claimed that: “…[MMR] is perfectly safe and perfectly effective.” “That may mean that some young children will have three MMR jabs…That is not a problem. It is perfectly safe and perfectly effective.” and one of the strongest claims: “There’s no adverse effect to this extra jab [3rd MMR]….” (7) (8)
These statements are totally at odds with the MMR vaccine manufacturers’ product sheets and dismiss out of hand the acceptance and payments made by the Government’s DWP Vaccine Damage Payment Unit, over £74 million has been awarded to date. (9) (10)
And the questions being asked by parents?
Have MMR products ever been trialled against inert placebos, widely accepted as the gold standard for testing of medicines? (11)
Has the government forgotten that parents are supposed to be allowed to make an informed consent for any vaccine? Parents, if they are given anything, receive Public Health England’s (PHE) pamphlet on MMR rather than the vaccine manufacturers’ patient information leaflets. The standard for Informed Consent is apparently set by the Montgomery decision of 2015 and currently seems to be ignored. (12)
Has the government forgotten that health professionals only report between 2% and 10% of vaccine adverse reactions? (13)
Do the government’s ministers know that the medicines watchdog, the MHRA, fails to follow up on every adverse reaction reported? During meetings with the MHRA which I have attended, officers have stated that they do not routinely contact the reporting health professional, six months to 12 months later, to determine if the child fully recovered from the reaction or has further deteriorated.
Do government ministers not find it odd that PHE can tell us how many laboratory confirmed measles and mumps cases there are but not how many serious adverse reactions to vaccines have occurred?
Without this information the government has no accurate safety data on vaccines. A point that has been raised with the government time and time again. (14) (15)
And on the subject of safety data, a recent study sponsored by vaccine-makers compared two MMR vaccines: Merck’s MMR II and GSK’s Priorix (16). The children in the study were given a version of MMR and other vaccines and the results of the study were published. Adverse events resulting in emergency room visit: 10.1% in one group 10.4% in the other group. New onset chronic diseases following the vaccinations: 3.4% in one group 3.7% in the other group. Given that our vaccine policy-makers usually quote the chance of a severe reaction as 1 in a million, using the figures in the study this could mean if you vaccinated 1 million children with either MMR vaccine, 34,000 in one group and 37,000 in the other group were at risk of new onset chronic diseases. See Supplementary table 6 (17).
![70250159 1529512657190848 3716014788355031040 n](_Media/70250159_1529512657190848_3_med.jpeg)
Do these figures give anyone in Government cause for concern?
Media reports have stated that the uptake rate for the first MMR is currently 92% but it falls to 87% for the second. Has anyone asked the parents why they didn’t return for the second dose?
My son suffered a severe reaction to his first MMR vaccine leaving him with devastating brain damage and long-term disabilities. (This has been accepted by the Government’s vaccine damage tribunal system.) When he reached pre-school age we received notifications that his second MMR dose was due. We refused, therefore you surely have to ask how many of the current pre-school children’s parents have declined for similar reasons?
And on the subject of compulsory vaccines: mandatory vaccinations were tried once before in the UK in the late 1800s. It did not go well. There was great hostility and considerable resistance and the plans had to be abandoned.
There is no mandate in the UK for any government to impose compulsion for any vaccine. Without democratic consent such a policy would face escalating opposition.
You only need to see what is going on in Italy, France, Germany, Poland, the United States and other countries following government plans to pass laws quickly, without proper public consultation, for mandatory vaccinations and the removal of exemptions. Threats of heavy fines, children to be excluded from nurseries, potential prison sentences for non-payers and the diabolical suggestion that children could be forcibly removed from their parents and vaccinated. Ever since plans were announced people have been taking to the streets of their major cities to protest against this attack on civil liberties. Is this really the way UK doctors want to take us?
And how could compulsory vaccinations be enforced? My son, who is severely vaccine-damaged (by MMR), has had many hospital emergencies because of his conditions. From being a baby through infancy to adulthood every time we are in the A & E department bloods need to be taken and staff have told us many times over the years that they are not allowed to restrain our son. My husband and I are expected to hold and calm him whilst they draw blood with our consent. If a doctor is faced with parents who refuse to give such consent and are under pressure to vaccinate a distressed child who is refusing to co-operate, how does the doctor vaccinate the child safely? And how does the doctor expect that child or the parents to ever trust him/her again?
Why does it need to be MMR or nothing? Dr Liam Fox when he was shadow health secretary stated that a Tory government would fund single dose vaccines to increase the inoculation rate. "We will be less doctrinaire and more pragmatic,” “…we would have to see whether we should make single dose vaccines available in certain areas to certain groups to get inoculation rates up…” (18)
What needs to be remembered is the question of MMR safety has never been resolved in the UK courts. Despite a multi-party MMR/MR legal action involving some 1400 children being brought over a number of years, the cases ended in 2007 because legal aid was withdrawn. The High Court judge, Mr Justice Keith stated in his closing remarks: “It is important for the claimants’ litigation friends to understand why their children’s claims are not being allowed to proceed. It is not because the court thinks that the claims have no merit. Although this litigation has been going on for very many years, the question as to whether the claims have merit has never been addressed by the court. The reason why the claims have not been allowed to proceed is because everyone has realistically recognised for some time that it is just not practicable for the claims to proceed without public funding…’ (19)
The way to resolve this issue is, not to accuse parents of complacency, or to attack those who question the safety and efficacy of vaccines or to smear them as “anti-vaxxers”. The majority of those people have vaccinated their children and have suffered the consequences. I believe the way forward is to hold vaccine manufacturers and policy-makers accountable and seek the answers to the points raised.
To conclude: In a recent presentation of his work Professor Peter Aaby stated: “I guess most of you may think we know what our vaccines are doing - we don’t.” If such an eminent vaccine expert holds this opinion on a number of widely used global vaccines how can anyone claim, including the Government, the science is settled with regard to the safety and effectiveness of any vaccine. Science is never settled, therefore no childhood vaccine should be made compulsory.

Should measles vaccination be compulsory?
Rapid response by Jackie Fletcher, Founder of JABS
The simple answer is: No, of course not.
I'd like to point out that Eleanor Draeger makes no distinction between a measles vaccination and the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination. Thousands of parents who have contacted our group JABS, a support group for parents of vaccine-damaged children, have told us they want the separate measles vaccination and are prepared to use private clinics to access a choice. I doubt that the numbers for single measles vaccines have been included in the calculations quoted in the article.
Likewise, many thousands of parents have contacted us when the repeat vaccines were due at pre-school age. Many have opted to have blood tests which have shown that their children have produced antibodies for measles. I doubt that these details have been included in the second dose calculations.
In my opinion there are a number of important safety issues that should be addressed.
Currently all drugs licensed by the MHRA undergo long-term double-blind clinical trials during which the rate of adverse reactions in the group receiving the drug under review is compared to the rate of adverse reactions in a group receiving an inert placebo, such as a sugar pill or saline solution. Even these tests sometimes fail to pick up rare serious events.
In contrast vaccines, I understand, are not required to undergo long-term double-blind inert-placebo controlled trials to assess safety. (They are usually tested against other vaccines.) Shouldn't proper safety trials be compulsory?
Further, most paediatric vaccines currently in use in the UK have been approved based on studies with inadequate follow-up periods of only a few days, weeks or months. The real vaccine trials begin when the vaccines are rolled out over the population. Shouldn't long-term trials against unvaccinated groups be compulsory?
The lack of accurate pre-licensure safety data leaves the assessment of vaccine safety to the post-licensing period when they are administered to children on a routine basis. In theory the 'yellow card' system should work to flag up any serious problems with drug products - the guidelines advise that all suspected reactions should be reported. In practice the system was and still is wholly ineffective because health professionals seem to make their own arbitrary decisions on whether to report suspected side effects of vaccinations. This may lead to serious problems of under-reporting. Currently, it is questionable whether the reporting system collects any reliable data on which to determine the safety of any vaccine. Shouldn't reporting of all suspected adverse reactions be compulsory?
The DH and MHRA have not improve this scheme to ensure accurate adverse events reporting. Furthermore, the limited number of reports the MHRA does receive seem not to be investigated thoroughly nor routinely followed-up with the reporting doctor several months later to ensure the individual has fully recovered or to assess the situation further. Shouldn't an automatic follow-up of reported reactions be compulsory?
At the moment assessing which vaccines cause which serious injuries is based on inaccurate and insufficient data.
I find it disturbing that Public Health England tell us how many laboratory confirmed cases of measles there have been in any period but do not tell us how many serious vaccine adverse events have occurred.

In an analysis of his own practice records he found only one case of autism in 715 unvaccinated children and one case in 440 children following his “vaccine friendly plan”. This is in direct comparison with CDC figures of one in 42 for autism where the full US schedule of vaccines is implemented.

Letter to the editor
Our vaccine-damaged son is proof we must do more to improve safety
Simon Stevens, the head of NHS England, said he was concerned by stalling vaccination uptake and the dangers that 'fake messages' posed to children.
I would like to know how he has determined the messages are fake.
I am the mother of a son who is severely brain-damaged by vaccines given when he was thirteen months old. Robert had MMR and HiB meningitis vaccines and ten days later was hospitalised with a seizure. His life changed from that point. He went from a healthy, happy, little boy into a child who suffered seizures, repeated infections, lost his speech and communication, developed a left-sided weakness and autistic traits. It took until he was 19 for his case to be properly investigated by the Government's vaccine damage tribunal service. It was accepted by the tribunal that he had suffered epileptic encephalopathy caused by the measles part of his MMR.
Now, aged 27, he is still mentally like a 13-month-old infant. He has uncontrolled epilepsy, can't talk, can't walk and needs round-the-clock care.
It was because of Robert's experience and meeting other parents in hospitals who complained that their children's lives had changed following MMR vaccinations that I founded the support group JABS (Justice, Awareness & Basic Support). Many parents have shared their children's vaccine experiences online to try to help others to make safer choices.
Since 1994 we have had meetings with ministers at the Departments of Health and Work & Pensions in the interests of obtaining justice and recognition for the damaged children. Equally important, we hope to improve the safety of the vaccination programme to safeguard children in the future.
Many of the parents in our group say their children, who were previously healthy, have reacted with symptoms known to the manufacturers in the recognised incubation periods and have developed long-term problems also reported in the vaccine-makers' patient information sheets, regardless of the age when given.
We have called for clinical investigation of the children; for all suspected serious reactions to be reported and routinely followed-up; for the ever expanding vaccination schedule to be safety tested in its entirety; for parents to be allowed to make an informed consent; and for a proper compensation programme to help families whose children have paid the price for the community.
And for our efforts we get labelled as 'anti-vaxxers'. How ironic - if we had been anti-vaxxers, our children would not have been damaged by vaccines.

'HYDERABAD:
A toddler died and 26 other children were hospitalised in Hyderabad on Thursday after they developed complications a day after being administered vaccine at an urban primary health centre, officials said.
The baby boy was brought dead, while two of the 26 children admitted to the Niloufer Hospital so far are in critical condition. Several children who were vaccinated at the public health centre in Nampalli were brought to the hospital with complaints of fever, an official release said but did not give details of the vaccine or the age group of the children…..'

Senator in epicenter of U.S. measles outbreak thinks the vaccine isn’t safe. (She’s wrong.)
"Wilson said the current outbreak is under control. Moreover, she suggested that the people who were infected will benefit from the experience. “We didn't have any deaths, and we didn't have any hospital stays. So I don't know that it’s unacceptable,” she said. “I mean, now these people have full immunity for the rest of their lives.”

The One Way To Spot Vaccine Propaganda 19th February 2019
‘….Whatever your views on vaccines, the fact (don’t take my word for it, go and look for yourself) that only one side of the controversy is reported in the mainstream media ought to give you pause. If what the proponents of vaccines say about them is true, if they really are “safe and effective”, if adverse reactions really are so very rare, and if the science really is settled, then why can’t journalists report honestly about this? If those who have concerns about vaccine safety really are just kooks and frauds, then why are the people who cover the topic afraid to speak to them?…'

JABS PRESS RELEASE 8 February 2019
A WORLD-RENOWNED, PRO-VACCINE PAEDIATRIC NEUROLOGIST IN THE FIELD OF AUTISM RESEARCH HAS STATED THAT THERE ARE 'EXCEPTIONS IN WHICH VACCINATION COULD LEAD TO AUTISM'
Dr Andrew Zimmerman, paediatric neurologist, a world-renowned pro-vaccine expert medical witness for the US government has issued a sworn affidavit which says that he spoke with Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys and specifically the lead DOJ attorney during a break in the court proceedings to explain that he'd discovered "exceptions in which vaccination could cause autism."
"More specifically, I explained that in a subset of children with an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction, vaccine induced fever and immune stimulation that exceeded metabolic energy reserves could, and in at least one of my patients, did cause regressive encephalopathy with features of autism spectrum disorder"
"I explained that my opinion regarding exceptions in which vaccines could cause autism was based upon advances in science, medicine, and clinical research of one of my patients in particular.”(1)
***
It has recently been discovered that Dr Zimmerman was selected by the US Department of Justice to act as an expert witness in the 2007 Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP). In the US the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) has Special Masters, not judges, that preside over cases. At the time, 5,400 petitioners brought claims that vaccine injury had caused their children's autism. The cases were collected and became known as the OAP. Hearings were established by the Special Masters to address all the cases through six test cases which would be used to test three theories of autism causation via vaccine damage:
1) Did thimerosal, the mercury preservative, cause autism?
2) Did the MMR vaccine cause autism?
3) Did a combination of thimerosal and the MMR vaccine cause autism?
Dr Zimmerman wrote reports on the first and second of the test cases.
In the first test case his opinion was that vaccines did not cause the child's autism but in the second test case he found that it did.
During the first test case he was present during the testimony from the plaintiff's expert medical witness, Dr Marcel Kinsbourne, a paediatric neurologist. During a break, Dr Zimmerman spoke with the DOJ attorneys and made it clear that his opinion on the first case was specific to that child and should not be used as a blanket opinion for all the cases.
The second test case due to be heard next was removed as a test case. The government conceded the case out of court declaring that the vaccines the girl had received caused an encephalopathy, seizures and 'features of an autism spectrum disorder'. As this child had been removed as a test case it could not be used to establish precedent on any of the others.
During a third test case, Dr Zimmerman wrote in his affidavit that the DOJ attorney made 'highly misleading' statements in his closing argument using part of Dr Zimmerman's testimony from the first case to dismiss the third case.
Robert F Kennedy Jr., Chairman of Children's Health Defence and Rolf Hazlehurst, the father of a vaccine-injured child have petitioned Michael Horowitz, the Inspector General of the Department of Justice to investigate the conduct of two DOJ attorneys involved in the cases.
This information has only recently become public knowledge when Dr Zimmerman revealed the details of the DOJ's attorneys' actions when giving a deposition in a medical malpractice case brought against the doctor who administered Yates Hazlehurst's vaccines. Dr Zimmerman gave the opinion that Yates Hazlehurst's regression into autism mirrors that of the regression in the child of the second, removed, test case. (3)
Further science used by Special Masters in the OAP deserves greater scrutiny. Poul Thorsen produced research for the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which seemingly exonerated thimerosal and the MMR vaccine in causing autism and has now been shown to have serious flaws. Thorsen is currently a fugitive from justice due to his indictment for stealing over one million dollars of CDC grant money and is on the Department of Health and Human Service’s most wanted list.
If the US Inspector General of the DOJ finds the attorneys guilty of misconduct this would not only undermine the decisions in the US Omnibus Autism Proceedings which involved at the time some 5,400 children but should also undermine the withdrawal of Legal Aid for the UK multi-party class action which involved 1,400 children many of whom were suffering from neurological conditions on the autistic spectrum.
This revelation about the DOJ's attorneys and Poul Thorsen follows on from the disclosure in 2014 that the CDC’s researchers had manipulated the design of the study and destroyed data that showed that the MMR vaccine did cause autism. William T. Thompson, PhD, a co-author of the CDC's research has since written a statement about his involvement in the 2003 study.(2)
If the US CDC's scientists had published their work as it was originally produced this could have had an important impact not only on the US OAP but also on the UK MMR class action.
The time period is crucial. In 2003/2004 the UK multi-party class action test cases were due to be put before the High Court where the details of individual cases would at long last be scrutinised. However, the Legal Services Commission withdrew public funding on the grounds that the litigation was likely to fail. It said that medical research had failed to provide a conclusive link with the MMR vaccine and the symptoms experienced by the children, notably autism.
The presiding judge at the tribunal in 2007, Mr Justice Keith, emphasised that: “It was the funding issues rather than the merits of the case, which had driven the decision not to allow the claims to proceed: it is not because the court thinks the claims have no merit”. He added “Although this litigation has been going on for very many years, the question whether the claims have merit has never been addressed by the court”.
Given that:
A) William T Thompson, Senior Scientist with the Vaccine Safety Division of the CDC and the lead statistician and co-author of the 2004 CDC study on MMR vaccine and autism took whistleblower status in 2014 to reveal CDC scientists colluded to obscure the link between the MMR vaccine and autism. (8)
B) The Poul Thorsen CDC research involving thimerosal and MMR has been shown to have serious flaws
C) Dr Zimmerman has now stated that DOJ attorneys misled the vaccine court on his statement and that he supports a causal link between vaccines and autism in certain children
D) US politicians and staff have publicly stated that the pharmaceutical industry lobby has corrupted and killed any meaningful discussions or investigations on vaccine safety on Capitol Hill. (4)
E) New information from the US questions the safety of vaccine trials where vaccines appear not to have been tested against inert placeboes. Please see background information below.
F) There are more than 128 studies that show a relationship between vaccines and autism. (7)
Points for consideration
JABS would like the UK Government and Public Health England to review its terms of reference. All claims of vaccine damage should be re-evaluated based on individual medical histories in the light of these new findings and as per the recent European Courts of Justice ruling which in practice re-enforces the criteria laid down in the VDP Act 1979.(6)
JABS would like a health select committee to take up parents’ concerns about the absence of any inert placebo in pre-licensure trials, the failure of the post-licensure adverse event surveillance system and the lack of detailed follow-up of reports of serious adverse reactions with the Public Health England.
JABS would like a health select committee to question the JCVI on the merits of introducing a Hepatitis B vaccination into the childhood programme. Pregnant women are already routinely screened for this disease and if they are found to be carriers their new-born babies are targeted for treatment. Hepatitis B is a disease that can be transmitted through injecting drugs/sharing needles, sexual contact with an infected partner or working in an ‘at-risk’ profession e.g prison officer, doctor, nurse etc.
JABS has major concerns about the growing amount of aluminium contained in paediatric vaccines which is highly likely to be contributing to the rising incidence of autoimmune and neurological disease leading to long term, chronic, debilitating conditions. Where is the independent scientific research that demonstrates the safety of injecting increasing levels of aluminium adjuvants into 8, 12 and 16 weeks old babies through the new hexavalent vaccine?
JABS maintains that only solid, verifiable scientific evidence of vaccine safety and effectiveness should be provided to parents considering vaccines for their children. Recent reviews of the available scientific literature on vaccine safety and testing is all but absent. The absence of real scientific evidence of vaccine safety leads many parents to conclude that the mantra “vaccines are safe and effective” is ideology rather than real scientific, evidence based medicine. The time has come for the UK Government to take their responsibility for vaccine safety seriously and take action against those putting pressure on families to vaccinate their children with products not adequately tested for safety.

Background Information
Jabs campaigns for safe vaccines and a full range of choice. JABS is an acronym and stands for Justice, Awareness and Basic Support. The aims of Jabs is to seek justice for the victims of vaccine damage, to increase the awareness of all relevant information about vaccines and to provide basic support for those families who have been affected.
The group was founded by Jackie Fletcher in 1994 whose own son Robert was brain damaged following MMR and HiB vaccines given together in 1992. Robert Fletcher’s vaccine damage claim was accepted by the DWP Vaccine Damage Payment Unit in 2010.
Placeboes
In a recent (2017/18) exchange of papers in the US between Del Bigtree, an advocate for safe vaccines, and US health agencies the then acting Director of the National Vaccine Program Office, Melinda Wharton, claimed some paediatric vaccines had been trialled against a genuine placebo and provided all necessary references as evidence. Mr Bigtree and his team took virtually twelve months to scrutinise and cross check the references and research supplied and came to a negative conclusion. They established that none of the “some” vaccines or any other vaccines on the US schedule had been trialled against a genuine placebo. Vaccine products were only being compared with other vaccine products, rather than with an inert saline solution. The exception to this was with an HPV vaccine (Gardasil) where the placeboes used were aluminium adjuvant and a saline solution tested in a small group of some 306 people. This recent research finding has fundamentally challenged the claims that vaccines are safe and effective as the safety was never established before marketing and widespread use in the world.(5)

The Vaccine Debate
'Today we investigate one of the biggest medical controversies of our time: vaccines. There’s little dispute about this much-- vaccines save many lives, and rarely, they injure or kill. A special federal vaccine court has paid out billions for injuries from brain damage to death. But not for the form of brain injury we call autism. Now—we have remarkable new information: a respected pro-vaccine medical expert used by the federal government to debunk the vaccine-autism link, says vaccines can cause autism after all. He claims he told that to government officials long ago, but they kept it secret.'

No US Childhood Vaccines Were Placebo Tested: Why The Pharma/Government Complex Is Getting Desperate To Shut Down The Web
By John Stone, UK Editor
__________________________
ESSENTIAL READING
How to End the Autism Epidemic presents an intellectual, fact-based argument on how vaccines trigger autism, drawing on scientific evidence that has emerged in the past five years from researchers outside the United States. In it, author J.B. Handley confronts and dismantles the most common rhetoric from the AAP and CDC: 1. Vaccines are safe and effective. 2. The rate of autism isn t actually increasing. 3. The science is settled. Handley then presents his argument for where the truth actually lies: 1. The Department of Health and Human Services Vaccine Compensation Program has actually acknowledged that vaccines do cause autism and he lays out the legal proceedings in which this happened. 2. Scientific evidence in mounting that links autism-triggering immune activation to the aluminum adjuvant used in most vaccines, including findings of elevated levels of aluminum in the brains of autopsied autistic children and adults. 3. Research has shown parents to be highly reliable reporters of their children s wellness and while these experiences are often dismissed, thousands have reported and documented their children s vaccine injuries for campaigns such as Hear This Now and the Vaxxed Bus. Also of note: Big Pharma is expected to be worth $60 billion by 2020, compared to $170 million in the early 1980s, a 350-fold increase.* In the 1960s, the CDC vaccine schedule called for 5 total vaccines. Today it s 72.* Autism rates have gone from 1 in 10,000 in the 1970s to 1 in 36 today.* In 2009, Julie Gerberding left her position as the head of the CDC, where she presided over both a massive explosion in the number of vaccines and a massive explosion in cases of autism, to head up Merck.While his argument is unsparing, Handley s position is ultimately moderate: We must continue to investigate the safety of vaccines, we must adopt a position of informed consent, and every vaccine must be considered on its own merits.

The HPV Vaccine On Trial: Seeking Justice for a Generation Betrayed
By Mary Holland, Kim Mack Rosenberg and Eileen Iorio
In 2006, following an expedited review, the Food and Drug Administration approved Merck & Co.'s Gardasil vaccine, a "preventive" vaccine targeting a limited range of strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), including two strains that are linked to the possible development of cervical cancers. In 2009, the FDA, in another "fast track" review, approved Cervarix, a similar vaccine by another pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline. In The HPV Vaccine, Mary Holland and Kim Mack Rosenberg, expert researchers on the making, marketing, and safety of vaccines, assess the quick popularity of the HPV vaccine. They reveal the business behind the pharmaceutical and medical industries' push for it and how this effects the population it's most targeted toward, girls and women ages eleven to twenty-six. The insightful text is geared toward providing parents and young adults with the information they need to know to decide whether to give their children the vaccine or get it themselves. It's also for women's health organizations, health professionals, and members of the medical industry, who need to know what the effects of the vaccine on patients will be and the disturbing reasons that the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA released it despite disconcerting results.

Re UK doctors re-examine the case for compulsory vaccines Rapid responses
https://www.bmj.com/content/358/bmj.j3414/rapid-responses
Rapid Response by Jackie Fletcher, JABS Founder
The motion has been raised to look at the advantages and disadvantages of making childhood immunisation mandatory. I'd like to share some thoughts to help the discussions.
Our group JABS is a support group of parents of vaccine-damaged children and I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that doctors' children are not immune to vaccine damage. We have parents from many groups of the medical establishment (consultants, doctors, nurses etc) that have reported serious life-changing events following reactions to routine vaccinations. Some of the doctors have actually vaccinated their own children and now have to live with the consequences. We have asked some if they will speak out but they have told us of their fears for their reputations, promotion prospects even their final pension plans. I can understand this.
Parents have reported to us that their children were healthy and developing well and regardless of the age when vaccinated the children have suffered adverse reactions within the incubation periods of the vaccines and developed long-term problems also recognised by the manufacturers' in their own product information sheets. Treating physicians have been unable to give an alternative explanation for the children's medical decline other than it was coincidental to the vaccinations.
We have a strange double standards in operation. When a child is due for a vaccination medical staff are happy to discuss the minor reactions and state that they are very common but the serious reactions also known to the drug companies are supposedly so 'rare' that background prevalence of a disease is always the answer. Yet if a child were to have a vaccine preventable disease and suffer the exact same symptoms and long-term consequences medical staff would have no hesitation in blaming the disease and the parent for not vaccinating.
Where do medical staff get their information on how 'rare' a serious reaction is? The passive surveillance system is recognised as a poor collection service with less than 5-10 per cent of serious reactions being put forward through the yellow card system.
And those reactions that are put forward to the MHRA? In conversations with staff I have been told that if a card contains details of a reaction known to be associated with the vaccine, for example a febrile convulsion, it is just ticked off and no further action taken. There apparently is no follow-up six to 12 months later to determine if the child fully recovered from the reaction or if the child's health and mental state has seriously changed. I know this from personal experience.
Mandatory vaccinations were tried once before in the UK in the late 1800s. It did not go well. There was great hostility and considerable resistance and the plans had to be abandoned. There is no mandate in the UK for any government to impose compulsory vaccination. Without democratic consent such a policy would face escalating opposition.
You only need to see what is going on in Italy right now following government plans to pass laws quickly through its parliament, without public consultation, for mandatory vaccinations with threats of heavy fines, children to be excluded from nurseries, potential prison sentences for non-payers and the diabolical announcement that children could be forcibly removed from their parents and vaccinated.
Ever since the plans were announced, Italian people have been taking to the streets of their major cities each weekend in huge numbers (thousands and thousands) to peacefully protest against this attack on civil liberties. Is this really the way UK doctors want to take us?
And how could compulsory vaccinations be enforced? My son, who is severely vaccine-damaged, has had many hospital emergencies because of his conditions and from being a baby through infancy to adulthood every time we are in the A & E department bloods need to be taken and staff have told us many times over the years that they are not allowed to restrain our son. My husband and I are expected to hold and calm him whilst they draw blood. If you as a doctor are faced with parents who refuse to give consent and a distressed, screaming child who is thrashing their arms about and refuses to co-operate, how do you vaccinate the child safely? And how do you expect that child or the parents to ever trust you again?

The news item below appeared across the UK media on the 18th March 2017
The Telegraph heading: ‘New evidence in claims against pregnancy-test drugs linked to birth defects that affected hundreds of families’
‘Explosive new evidence has emerged over claims that thousands of children suffered birth defects after their mothers took a controversial pregnancy-testing drug...’
The parallels with vaccine-damaged children are astounding:
Note the long battle for recognition and compensation.
The recent discovery of previously unseen documents that could lead to important developments in the cases and the damning allegation that ‘..The files, which had been stored in archives for decades, showed that in January 1975, Doctor William Inman, principal medical officer for the British Government had found that women who took a hormone pregnancy test “had a five-to-one risk of giving birth to a child with malformations”...’
‘Dr Inman wrote to Primodos’s German manufacturer, Schering, so the firm could “take measures to avoid medico-legal problems”, rather than recall the drug. A later document �explains that Dr Inman destroyed the materials on which his findings were based, “to prevent individual claims being based on his material”...’
‘..A Sky Atlantic documentary to be broadcast on Tuesday discloses that a separate document showed a warning had been placed on Primodos packets by UK regulators in June 1975.
‘It stated that the drug should not be taken during pregnancy because of the risk that it may cause malformations. These documents were found by Karl Murphy, 44, who was born with shrivelled hands and feet and whose mother, Pam, had been part of a campaign group that attempted to prove Primodos had harmed their babies....
‘..Despite the evidence accumulated over the years, an attempt to bring the case to court by the alleged victims in 1982 collapsed and legal aid was withdrawn from the 700 families who were suing the drug’s manufacturer, Schering, for compensation.
‘It was deemed unlikely that they would be able to prove a causal link between the drug and the malformations suffered by their children...’
Compare this with the plight of vaccine damaged children:
In the Telegraph 1/2/1974 Vaccine ‘Risk to Children’
http://www.jabs.org.uk/vaccine-risk-to-children--.html
Mr Jack Ashley then the MP for Labour, Stoke on Trent South said: ‘the Government's "shattering complacency" was revealed when the Parliamentary Secretary admitted in a written reply that the majority of adverse reactions were not reported.
"The Minister has already admitted to me that the machinery for notification is not working properly. He is, therefore, conducting a national immunisation service without full knowledge of the terrible risks involved for some children."...’
Now, when you watch Vaxxed the movie (see in earlier posting below) it reveals that the CDC in the US had collected data on MMR and children on the autistic spectrum and were due to publish in 2001/2002 but according to the scientist whistleblower his superiors gave orders to change the data and destroy the original evidence. The timing of this is so significant because the UK MMR multi-party legal action came to a halt and UK legal aid was withdrawn in 2003 because there apparently wasn’t sufficient scientific evidence to support a link between MMR and autism.
How about that for coincidence!

Warning as up to 15 kids COLLAPSE and one rushed to A & E after ‘duff jabs’ at school
HORROR unfolded at a secondary school after paramedics were called out to treat up to 15 pupils who collapsed after having vaccinations.
Between ten and 15 Year 10 students keeled over after having a meningitis jab at Northampton School for Boys yesterday. One boy was taken to A&E as a "precaution".
One parent, whose son saw the drama unfold, told how children were seen "on their backs on the floor with their legs up on chairs".
The mum, who didn't want to be named, added: "Vaccines were being administered, and around 10 to 15 pupils keeled over and paramedics were called.

Schoolgirls should stop being given HPV vaccine until investigation into side effects, campaigner says
Schoolgirls should stop being given a vaccine which helps protect them from cervical cancer until a "proper investigation" is held into side effects, a campaigner has insisted.
Freda Birrell, of UK Association of HPV Vaccine Injured Daughters (AHVID), called for a moratorium on the use of the controversial HPV vaccine until more is known about "serious adverse reactions

Boy wins £120,000 damages for narcolepsy caused by swine flu vaccine
Ruling comes after government claimed illness was not serious enough to merit payment, and opens door for up to 100 families to seek compensation
A 12-year-old boy has been awarded £120,000 by a court that agreed he had been left severely disabled by narcolepsy triggered by the swine flu vaccine, following a three-year battle in which the government had claimed that his illness was not serious enough to merit payment.
The ruling is expected to lead to as many as 100 other families of people affected by the sleeping disorder after receiving the vaccine bringing fresh compensation claims, in a dispute where the government’s initial hostility was described by the family’s legal team as offensive…………………..

Mandatory vaccination would violate our human rights

We all have the human right to freedom of informed medical consent, writes Anna Watson. However this right is violated in 40% of EU countries which impose mandatory vaccination under threat of fines or imprisonment.

AUTISM MEDIA CHANNEL 1 September 2014
Introduction to Hear This Well
On 8/27/14, CDC Scientist Bill Thompson issued a statement addressing his regret that he and his co-authors omitted “statistically significant information” in a 2004 study on the MMR vaccine causing autism.
CNN reporter Deborah Goldschmidt then published an article which embedded a CNN video where health correspondent Elizabeth Cohen states that within all of the dangerous side-effects of vaccines, autism is not listed. She then rephrased saying, “Some people don’t hear this well: vaccines do not cause autism.”
Outraged that CNN would choose to embed such a statement within Dr. Thompson’s confession that he and his co-authors had omitted evidence that African American males were at increased risk for autism from journal publication, autism parents across the country and across the globe responded to a call from the Autism Media Channel. These parents addressed the CNN correspondent directly, informing her that in their own families, vaccines had, in fact, caused autism.

MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS: Further Comments on the 2004 CDC Study (DeStefano et al 2004) By Martin Hewitt
Dr Brian Hooker claims that the CDC suppressed findings of a higher risk of autism in Afro-American boys receiving MMR at 24 and 36 months, a claim based on the concerns of Dr Bill Thompson, co-author breaking ranks with the authors of the 2004 CDC paper. In response to the controversy, and Hooker’s reworking of the CDC data(Hooker 2014), the CDC issued a statement (here) claiming it had only published data on race from a subsample of children with birth certificates because this provided richer data than the larger sample used. Hooker has countered saying the statement raises more questions than answers. The questions and answers the CDC raises and the claim of suppressed evidence can be seen more clearly if we revisit the 2004 paper (DeStefano 2004) and focus specifically on its research design, which will reveal a gaping omission where questions should have been asked but weren't. The question is what is the risk of autism faced by black children in the US who receive the MMR vaccine. We will see that it is inconceivable that the CDC researchers didn't use its total sample to ask this question. It would also be illogical if the relevant data required to answer this question weren't part of the CDC's design… FOR FULL ARTICLE SEE HERE: http://www.ageofautism.com/2014/09/more-questions-than-answers-further-comments-on-the-2004-cdc-study-destefano-et-al-2004.html

While mainstream media have ignored the flurry the past two weeks after the Focus Autism Press Release, the Peer Reviewed Research paper by Brian Hooker, PhD, and the Autism Media Video, several online media outlets and social media have been a blaze with the news of a CDC employee reaching out to Dr. Hooker and coming clean about what I consider a well-orchestrated cover up of information about increased risks associated with vaccines. Specifically the timing of certain vaccines, the use of thimerosal in vaccines, and what is known about risks of brain injury from vaccines in general. Those who led this activity showed significant malfeasance and disregard for the health and well-being of children. They have violated the public trust and have dragged this entire controversy out for 15 years rather than address with integrity and openness the issue and move forward with solutions that improve the safety of vaccines and respect the individual person’s unique medical condition and rights to personal medical choice… FOR FULL ARTICLE SEE HERE: http://bethclay.com/when-you-know-you-are-being-lied-to/

Measles-mumps-rubella vaccination timing and autism among young african american boys: a reanalysis of CDC data
Abstract
Background
A significant number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder suffer a loss of previously-acquired skills, suggesting neurodegeneration or a type of progressive encephalopathy with an etiological basis occurring after birth. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectof the age at which children got their first Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine on autism incidence. This is a reanalysis of the data set, obtained from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC), used for the Destefano et al. 2004 publication on the timing of the first MMR vaccine and autism diagnoses.
Methods
The author embarked on the present study to evaluate whether a relationship exists between child age when the first MMR vaccine was administered among cases diagnosed with autism and controls born between 1986 through 1993 among school children in metropolitan Atlanta. The Pearson’s chi-squared method was used to assess relative risks of receiving an autism diagnosis within the total cohort as well as among different race and gender categories.
Results
When comparing cases and controls receiving their first MMR vaccine before and after 36 months of age, there was a statistically significant increase in autism cases specifically among African American males who received the first MMR prior to 36 months of age. Relative risks for males in general and African American males were 1.69 (p=0.0138) and 3.36 (p=0.0019), respectively. Additionally, African American males showed an odds ratio of 1.73 (p=0.0200) for autism cases in children receiving their first MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age versus 24 months of age and thereafter.
Conclusions
The present study provides new epidemiologic evidence showing that African American males receiving the MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age or 36 months of age are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis.

"...A first measles vaccine given at 12 or 13 months of age is less likely to provide lasting protection than a shot at 15 months or later, researchers reported.
In a case-control study conducted in the wake of a large measles outbreak, people who received the shot earlier were about six times as likely to become ill as those whose vaccination was later, according to Gaston De Serres, MD, PhD, of the Quebec National Institute for Public Health in Quebec City.
That's important, Harrison noted, because mothers with actual measles disease will pass more antibodies to the fetus and the infant will carry them longer, likely reducing the impact of an early vaccination.

High Court orders two sisters must receive MMR vaccine

"The court also has to consider their level of understanding of the issues involved and what factors have influenced their views. I do not consider there is a balanced level of understanding by them of the issues involved."
The mother's lawyer Philippa Dolan told Newsnight that the girls had not yet been vaccinated despite the deadline to do so having passed on Thursday.
She said: "There are practical difficulties in enforcing the order and that is at the moment an ongoing issue. There's not a legal deadline that's a serious issue the parents are in discussion and everyone hopes it will be resolved without any more litigation…"

See Public Health England statistics for January to December 2012 which states that 116 measles cases have been laboratory confirmed for this period:
The Health Protection Agency also states this:
'....The last major measles outbreak was in in 1994, up until then measles cases were counted through notifications – where a doctor would report based on symptoms. Studies of notifications during the early 1990s suggested that not all of these clinical cases were measles and that the proportion that was due to other causes was increasing. Following the November 1994 mass campaign to immunise school aged children a new system of testing every notified case to confirm whether or not it was genuine measles case was introduced. From 1995 onwards, therefore, only confirmed cases are counted….'

Stop Blaming Dr. Andrew Wakefield
By F. Edward Yazbak, MD, FAAP
http://www.vaccinationnews.com/2013-4-15-stop-blaming-wakefield-YazbakFE
Several British news outlets including The Guardian, The Telegraph and the BBC appear to have decided, for reasons unknown, to renew their bullying of Dr. Andrew Wakefield.
The sudden new wave of coordinated attacks on Dr. Wakefield essentially blamed him again for causing a recent outbreak of measles in the United Kingdom because of an article he published in February 1998, FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.
Interestingly, I had commented on such frivolous allegations as early as December 22, 2003 [i], when I conclusively demonstrated, using UK Official Health Documents, that starting in 1995, three years before The Lancet paper, MMR vaccination rates in the UK had started to drop at a faster rate than other vaccination rates.
I had also commented at the time that the vaccine authorities in England were likely to cause further drop in measles, mumps and rubella vaccination rates by not offering the single vaccines along with the MMR vaccine and thus increasing the risk of disease outbreaks.
***
Eight years later, on December 8, 2010, I published a second research paper that further proved that the Wakefield Lancet publication had not caused any increased incidence of measles in the United Kingdom.
In that publication [ii] titled “Measles in the United Kingdom - The Wakefield Factor”, I documented the fact that a “Wakefield Factor” did not exist because according to official UK Government and WHO reports, the number of notified measles cases in England had actually decreased from 1998 to 1999 to 2000 to 2001 and that fewer cases of measles had been reported during the ten years that followed the Wakefield paper than in the preceding ten years.
I also documented the fact that in recent years, measles outbreaks occurred in the United Kingdom when they also occurred in Europe and elsewhere in the world, often in well vaccinated populations.
***
The continued allegations that measles outbreaks are occurring in the United Kingdom in 2013 because Dr. Andrew Wakefield published an article in 1998, are not based on scientific evidence, as I have clearly demonstrated years ago.
These wild accusations make absolutely no sense and they must stop.
Enough is enough!

Health: Measles
Question
Asked by Lord Taylor of Warwick
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of recent increases in the number of cases of measles; and what assessment they have made of any link to a reduction in the uptake of MMR vaccinations ten years ago.[HL5511]
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Earl Howe): Data from the Health Protection Agency show that, in 2012, 2,016 laboratory confirmed cases of measles were reported in England and Wales. This is the highest annual total since enhanced laboratory confirmation commenced in 1994.
Almost 70% of all cases in 2012 were in children between the ages of one and 18 years, with the highest proportion (592 cases) occurring in those under five years of age. There were 429 cases occurring in those aged 10 to 14 years, the age group who were routinely offered measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine when coverage was at its lowest level. Therefore, a minority of cases in 2012 can be attributed to the fall in coverage with MMR vaccine in the early part of this century. [Jabs emphasis]
However, although MMR vaccination uptake is currently at historically high levels, while measles is circulating unvaccinated individuals of any age will be at risk of contracting measles. [Jabs emphasis]. Therefore, it is important that parents of unvaccinated children, as well as older teenagers and adults who may have missed MMR vaccination, should make an appointment with their general practitioner to get vaccinated.

Jabs comment: An excellent article by Peter Hitchens that puts into context the current wide divide between vaccine safety campaigners and the tactics of the medical authorities who want to blame Dr Wakefield, worried parents and the press for the predictable outcome of not providing vaccine choices during the current measles outbreak in Wales. Parents want single vaccines to protect their children against measles but the DH policy-makers are enforcing MMR or nothing, thereby putting children at risk. UK parents should complain to their local MP and demand the right to choose. If you don't know who he/she is you can check the following:

![6a00d8357f3f2969e2017eea244eb8970d-pi](_Media/pasted-file_med.png)
The British government is entirely culpable for measles outbreak In the wake of further media distortion, misrepresentation and ignorance in relation to the measles outbreak in Wales, it is important to clarify some key facts.
In 1998, following an analysis of all pre-licensing studies of MMR vaccine safety I recommended the use of single measles vaccine in preference to MMR. This remains my position.
At that time, in contrast with the false assertions of many commentators, including Richard Horton, Editor of the Lancet, and vaccine millionaire Paul Offit, the single vaccines were licensed in UK and freely available to the British public.
While vaccination uptake fell from February 1998, there was a reciprocal increase in the uptake of single measles vaccine – a fact that is never acknowledged in the press. Vaccination clinics administered many thousands of doses of measles vaccine and children were “protected”.
Six months later, in September 1998, the British Government withdrew the importation license for the single vaccines, effectively blocking this option for parents.
Measles cases in the UK rose when the government withdrew the importation license for the single measles vaccine leaving concerned parents with no choice.
When I demanded to know why, if the government’s principal concern was to protect children from measles, it would prevent parents with genuine safety concerns over MMR from protecting their children, Elizabeth Miller of the Health Protection Agency responded “…..if we allowed parents the choice of single measles vaccines it would destroy our MMR program.” The government’s concern seemed to be to protect the MMR program over and above the protection of children.
MMR vaccine is not safe.Despite the claim of David Salisbury, head of the UK’s Immunization Division, that MMR has, “an exemplary safety record,” two of the three brands introduced in 1988 had to be withdrawn for safety reasons – they caused meningitis.
Government officials had approved these dangerous vaccines – Pluserix and Immravax – giving them the great majority of the UK market despite knowing they were high risk and despite having been warned explicitly of their dangers. These government officials put price before children’s health and have been seeking to cover up this shameful fact ever since.
MMR can cause autismThe US government have paid out millions of dollars to children whose autism followed vaccine-induced brain damage. A recent government concession in the US Vaccine Court confirms that the parents’ claims were valid all along.
In a recently published December 13th 2012 vaccine court ruling, hundreds of thousands of dollars were awarded to Ryan Mojabi, whose parents described how “MMR vaccinations”, caused a “severe and debilitating injury to his brain, diagnosed as Autism Spectrum Disorder (‘ASD’).”
Later the same month, the government suffered a second major defeat when young Emily Moller from Houston won compensation following a vaccine-related brain injury that, once again, involved MMR and resulted in autism.
The cases follow similar successful petitions in the Italian and US courts (including Hannah Poling, Bailey Banks, Misty Hyatt, Kienan Freeman, Valentio Bocca and Julia Grimes) in which the governments conceded or the court ruled that vaccines had caused brain injury. In turn, this injury led to an ASD diagnosis. MMR vaccine was the common denominator in these cases.
Live Public DebateThe more light that is shone on this subject by way of informed, balanced debate, the better. I am offering to debate any serious challenger on MMR vaccine safety and the role of MMR in autism, live, in public and televised.

MEASLES HITS THE HEADLINES AGAIN
http://www.informedparent.co.uk/mmr/measles-hits-the-headlines-again
By Magda Taylor, editor of The Informed Parent. April 2013
We are now experiencing yet another outbreak of measles and MMR propaganda via the media, resulting in a lot of parents becoming fearful and worried as to whether they should allow their children to receive the MMR.
In all the years I have been looking into the subject I have observed so many of these measles scares – they seem to be more regular than the measles outbreaks themselves.
It is extremely difficult to get any balanced information out in the public arena and the radio and TV coverages are almost all very biased. For example, on Tuesday 9th April I was invited to participate in a morning programme for BBC RadioScotland as one of the guests. This turned out to be a most frustrating experience as apart from a short intro earlier in the programme I had to sit through around half an hour’s worth of discussion without being able to contribute. The doctor and bacteriologist that had also been invited on were given the opportunity to respond to the various callers on the programme whilst I was left on the line not being able to give an alternative comment. Finally, right at the end of the slot I was suddenly invited to speak again. Knowing that I was going to be cut off at any time I attempted to try and make as many points as I could, which is not ideal as there was not enough time to give proper explanation. This is typical of how most of these programmes are broadcast these days, in fact, it more common now not to invite any guests that will be challenging the present established views. Back in the 1990s The Informed Parent, JABS and other vaccination researchers were given much more opportunity to get involved with some healthy discussion on the subject. This is certainly not the case these days.
Measles is being described in such a scary way at the moment it is no wonder parents are running scared.
Here is an example of how measles was described back in 1959, nine years before a measles vaccine was introduced in theUK. I have also taken extracts from a few doctors describing their experiences of measles at that time. This paints a very, very different picture of the disease compared to the ones we are being given at the moment. I have highlighted some of the more significant comments in bold type.
Measles Epidemic
Taken from: BMJ, Feb 7 1959, page 354
In the first three weeks of this year about 41,000 cases of measles were recorded inEnglandandWales. This is well above the corresponding figures of the last two years-namely, about 9,000 in 1958 and 28,000 in 1957 -though it is below the highest levels reached in the last nine years. To give some idea of the main features of the disease as it appears to-day and of how it is best treated, we invited some general practitioners to write short reports on the cases they have seen in their practices recently.
These appear at p.380 (extracts from this page follow this article). It is interesting to note, first, that the distribution of the disease is rather patchy at present. It has not yet reached the areas where two of these doctors practise (in South Scotland andCornwall), and other areas are known to be free of the disease so far. On the other hand, inKentit is reported to have arrived in time to put the children to bed over Christmas. These writers agree that measles is nowadays normally a mild infection, and they rarely have occasion to give prophylactic gamma globulin. As to the treatment of the disease and its complications, the emphasis naturally varies from one practice to another. Amount of bed-rest, when to administer a sulphonamide or antibiotic, the use of analgesics and linctuses-all these may still be debatable problems in the treatment of what is said to be the commonest disease in the world. But there is probably much in the opinion which one of the writers expresses: “It is the frequent visiting by the interested clinician and not the therapy which produces the good results.”
MEASLES
REPORTS FROM GENERAL PRACTITIONERS
BMJ February 7 1959, Page 380
EXTRACTS
We are much indebted to the general practitioners whose names appear below for the following notes on the present outbreak of measles.
Dr G. R. WATSON (Peaslake,Surrey) writes: Measles was introduced just before Christmas by a child from Petworth…….Treatment of Attack.-No drugs are given for either the fever or the cough; if pressed, I dispense mist. salin. B.N.F. as a placebo. Glutethimide 125 mg. may be given in the afternoon if the child is restless when the rash develops; 250 mg. in single or divided doses at bedtime ensures a good night’s sleep in spite of coughing. I encourage a warm humid atmosphere in the room by various methods: some electric fires and most electric toasters allow an open pan of water to rest on top; an electric kettle blows off too much steam to be kept on for more than short periods. Parents, conscious of the need to darken the room and to forbid reading, may carry this to an unnecessary extreme, starting even before the rash appears. To save a mother some demands, the wireless is a boon to children in darkened rooms. They are allowed up when the rash fades from the abdomen-usually the fourth or fifth day-and may go outside on the next fine day. Apart from fruit to eat.solid food is avoided on the day the rash is appearing; fruit drinks or soups are all they appear to want. Complications.-So far few complications have arisen. Four cases of otitis media occurred in the first 25 children, but only one had pain. No case of pneumonia has occurred, but one child had grossly abnormal signs in the chest for a few days after the fever subsided, uninfluenced by oral penicillin. One girl had a tear-duct infection and another an undue blepharitis. Of three adult males with the disease, two have been more severely affected than any of the children.Dr. R. E. HOPE STMPSON (Cirencester, Glos) writes: We make no attempt to prevent the spread of measles, and would only use gamma globulin to mitigate the severity of the disease in the case of the exposure of a susceptible adult or child who is already severely debilitated. Bed rest, for seven davs for moderate and severe cases and of five to six days in mild cases, seems to cut down the incidence of such complications as secondary bacterial otitis media and bronchopneumonia. We have not been impressed by the prophylactic or therapeutic use of antibiotics and sulphonamides in the first week of the disease. As soon as the patient is out of bed we allow him out of doors almost regardless of the weather. Otitis Media and Bronchopneumonia.-These conditions often appear so early, sometimes even before the rash, that in such cases one can only conclude that the responsible agent is the virus itself.Despite their initial alarming severity, they tend to resolve spontaneously, and treatment apart from first principles seems useless. When, on the other hand, otitis media or bronchopneumonia comes on after the subsidence of the initial symptoms of measles, it is probably due to a secondary bacterial invader, and we find antibiotics or sulphonamides useful…..
MILD AILMENT
Dr. JOHN FRY (Beckenham,Kent) writes: The expected biennial epidemic of measles appeared in this region in early December, 1958, just in time to put many youngsters to bed over Christmas. To date there have been close on 150 cases in the practice, and the numbers are now steadily decreasing. Like previous epidemics, the primary cases have been chiefly in the 5- and 6-year-olds, with secondary cases in their younger siblings. No special features have been noted in this relatively mild epidemic. It has been mild because complications have occurred in only four children. One little girl aged 2 suffered from a lobular pneumonia, and three others developed acute otitis media following their measles. In the majority of children the whole episode has been well and truly over in a week, from the prodromal phase to the disappearance of the rash, and many mothers have remarked ” how much good the attack has done their children,” as they seem so much better after the measles. A family doctor’s approach to the management of measles is essentially a personal and individual matter, based on the personal experiences of the doctor and the individual character and background of the child and the family. In this practice measles is considered as a relatively mild and inevitable childhood ailment that is best encountered any time from 3 to 7 years of age. Over the past 10 years there have been few serious complications at any age, and all children have made complete recoveries. As a result of this reasoning no special attempts have been made at prevention even in young infants in whom the disease has not been found to be especially serious.

Groundbreaking new research examines the molecular structure of inflammatory material taken from the bowels of autistic children. It compares the structure of diseased biopsies in the autistic children with biopsies from three groups of non-autistic children with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and histologically normal (the controls).
Previous research confirmed the pathological and immunological make-up of biopsies of autistic children, but had not to date identified its specific molecular structure. Children with the four different conditions have been found to have similar findings of inflammation. But it was not clear if this was the same condition shared by all four groups; or if a distinct condition was specific to autistic children alone; or if indeed there was no disease in the autistic group. A molecular analysis of the genetic structure found in the inflamed bowel tissue of children in each group would provide initial answers to these questions.
To date government and medical scientists continue to deny an association between autism and bowel disease. In the UK there is currently no research into the association between autism and chronic bowel disease. This has been the predicament since the government and medical profession waged a campaign to discredit research from the Royal Free Hospital led by Dr Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and the early 2000s that first identified the presence of bowel disease in autistic children.
Following years of denial from government and the medical profession, new research published in the leading online journal PLOS ONE confirms the presence of intestinal disease in autistic children and supports reports from many parents of ongoing painful gastric problems in their autistic children.
The research studied bowel samples from 25 autistic, 8 Crohn's, 5 ulcerative colitis and 15 normal control children and found that inflammatory material obtained from the biopsies of autistic children had a distinct molecular structure that was different from the other three groups.
This is an important finding of the distinct genetic expression that has now been identified in autistic children as distinct from non-autistic children with Crohns, ulcerative colitis and normal bowels. It paves the way for future research into the specific molecular structure of the inflammation affecting autistic children and hopefully will lead to new interventions and treatment.
Background Notes
1. The first paper to bring to public attention the presence of bowel disease in autistic children was Wakefield AJ, (1998) 'Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children'.The Lancet published this paper in 1998 but subsequently retracted it in 2010 after the GMC found Dr Wakefield and Professor Walker-Smith guilty of serious professional misconduct.
2. Several former colleagues went on in the early 2000s to study the nature of the bowel disease in autistic children, focusing on the pathology of gut tissue and the presence of autoimmune features in the bowel (eg Furlano et al (2001) 'Colonic CD8 and γδ T-cell infiltration with epithelial damage in children with autism', Journal of Pediatrics, Vol. 138, 3).
3. The senior research leader of the Lancet and subsequent papers was Professor John Walker-Smith who in March 2012 had all the charges of professional misconduct made by the GMC quashed on appeal by Justice Mitting in the High Court.

Controversial Doctor and Autism Media Channel Director Proven Right
March 8, 2013 Austin, TX
Two landmark events - a government concession in the US Vaccine Court, and a groundbreaking scientific paper – confirm that physician, scientist, and AMC Director, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, and the parents were right all along.
In a recently published December 13, 2012 vaccine court ruling, hundreds of thousands of dollars were awarded to Ryan Mojabi,[i]whose parents described how “MMR vaccinations," caused a "severe and debilitating injury to his brain, diagnosed as Autism Spectrum Disorder ('ASD')."
Later the same month, the government suffered a second major defeat when young Emily Moller from Houston won compensation following vaccine-related brain injury that, once again, involved MMR and resulted in autism.
The cases follows similar successful petitions in the Italian and US courts (including Hannah Poling[ii], Bailey Banks[iii], Misty Hyatt[iv], Kienan Freeman[v], Valentino Bocca[vi], and Julia Grimes[vii]) in which the governments conceded or the court ruled that vaccines had caused brain injury. In turn, this injury led to an ASD diagnosis. MMR vaccine was the common denominator in these cases.
And today, scientists and physicians from Wake Forest University, New York, and Venezuela, reported findings that not only confirm the presence of intestinal disease in children with autism and intestinal symptoms, but also indicate that this disease may be novel.[viii]
Using sophisticated laboratory methods Dr. Steve Walker and his colleagues endorsed Wakefield’s original findings by showing molecular changes in the children’s intestinal tissues that were highly distinctive and clearly abnormal.
From 1998 Dr. Wakefield discovered and reported intestinal disease in children with autism.[ix] Based upon the medical histories of the children he linked their disease and their autistic regression to the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR vaccine). He has since been subjected to relentless personal and professional attacks in the media, and from governments, doctors and the pharmaceutical industry. In the wake of demonstrably false and highly damaging allegations of scientific fraud by British journalist Brian Deer and the British Medical Journal, Dr. Wakefield is pursuing defamation proceedings against them in Texas.[x]
While repeated studies from around the world confirmed Wakefield’s bowel disease in autistic children[xi] and his position that safety studies of the MMR are inadequate,[xii] Dr. Wakefield’s career has been destroyed by false allegations.X Despite this he continues to work tirelessly to help solve the autism catastrophe.
The incidence of autism has rocketed to a risk of around 1 in 25 for children born today. Meanwhile governments, absent any explanation and fearing loss of public trust, continue to deny the vaccine-autism connection despite the concessions in vaccine court.
Speaking from his home in Austin, Texas, Dr. Wakefield said, “there can be very little doubt that vaccines can and do cause autism. In these children, the evidence for an adverse reaction involving brain injury following the MMR that progresses to an autism diagnosis is compelling. It’s now a question of the body count. The parents’ story was right all along. Governments must stop playing with words while children continue to be damaged. My hope is that recognition of the intestinal disease in these children will lead to the relief of their suffering. This is long, long overdue.”
Dr. Andrew Wakefield is a best selling author,9 founder of the autism research non-profit Strategic Autism Initiative (SAI), and Director of the Autism Media Channel.

Banned Wakefield Films From British TV Emerge on Youtube After Nearly a Decade
By John Stone for Age of Autism
Three controversial television films suppressed as part of the continued persecution of Andrew Wakefield are now available to watch on YouTube. The drama ‘Hear the Silence’ starring Hugh Bonneville as Andrew Wakefield and Juliet Stevenson as a mother trying to find the truth about what happened to her child was seen once on British television in December 2003 and then disappeared. Two months later the allegations of Brian Deer began to appear in the media. It has now been posted on the web by ‘ScienceIsrael’ in the original English with Hebrew subtitles.

HPV vaccines and cancer prevention, science versus activism:
By Lucija Tomljenovic
Abstract
The rationale behind current worldwide human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination programs starts from two basic premises, 1) that HPV vaccines will prevent cervical cancers and save lives and, 2) have no risk of serious side effects. Therefore, efforts should be made to get as many pre-adolescent girls vaccinated in order to decrease the burden of cervical cancer. Careful analysis of HPV vaccine pre- and post-licensure data shows however that both of these premises are at odds with factual evidence and are largely derived from significant misinterpretation of available data.

African Children Still Paralyzed After Vaccines, Government Says "All in Their Head"
By Christina England
It has now been officially confirmed that in December 2012, 38 children were hospitalized after receiving the meningitis vaccine, MenAfriVac, during a vaccination campaign arranged by the Chadian government. News program France 24 stated that Saleh Ahmat Bodoumi, a former Member of Parliament in Chad, confirmed that seven of the most seriously affected children have since been evacuated from hospitals in the capital city of Ndjamena to the Republic of Tunisia in northern Africa to undergo further investigation and specialized treatment.

A Population-Based Cohort Study of Undervaccination in 8 Managed Care Organizations Across the United States
http://archpedi.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleID=1558057#qundefined
Abstract
Objectives To examine patterns and trends of undervaccination in children aged 2 to 24 months and to compare health care utilization rates between undervaccinated and age-appropriately vaccinated children.
Design Retrospective matched cohort study.
Setting Eight managed care organizations of the Vaccine Safety Datalink.
Participants Children born between 2004 and 2008.
Main Exposure Immunization records were used to calculate the average number of days undervaccinated. Two matched cohorts were created: 1 with children who were undervaccinated for any reason and 1 with children who were undervaccinated because of parental choice. For both cohorts, undervaccinated children were matched to age-appropriately vaccinated children by birth date, managed care organization, and sex.
Main Outcome Measures Rates of undervaccination, specific patterns of undervaccination, and health care utilization rates.
Results Of 323 247 children born between 2004 and 2008, 48.7% were undervaccinated for at least 1 day before age 24 months. The prevalence of undervaccination and specific patterns of undervaccination increased over time (P < .001). In a matched cohort analysis, undervaccinated children had lower outpatient visit rates compared with children who were age-appropriately vaccinated (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 0.89; 95% CI, 0.89- 0.90). In contrast, undervaccinated children had increased inpatient admission rates compared with age-appropriately vaccinated children (IRR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.18-1.23). In a second matched cohort analysis, children who were undervaccinated because of parental choice had lower rates of outpatient visits (IRR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.93-0.95) and emergency department encounters (IRR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.88-0.94) than age-appropriately vaccinated children.
Conclusions Undervaccination appears to be an increasing trend. Undervaccinated children appear to have different health care utilization patterns compared with age-appropriately vaccinated children.

Proffer on Award of Compensation; MMR vaccine; Table Injury; Encephalitis.
'...Petitioners alleged that as a result of "all the vaccinations administered to [Ryan] from March 25, 2003, through February 22, 2005, and more specifically, MMR vaccinations administered to him on December 19, 2003 and May 10, 2004," Ryan suffered "a severe and debilitating injury to his brain, described as Autism Spectrum Disorder ('ASD')."..... Petitioners specifically asserted that Ryan "suffered a Vaccine Table Injury, namely, an encephalopathy" as a result of his receipt of the MMR vaccination on December 19, 2003....
On June 9, 2011, respondent filed a supplemental report pursuant to Vaccine Rule 4(c) stating it was respondent's view that Ryan suffered a Table injury under the Vaccine Act - namely, an encephalitis within five to fifteen days following receipt of the December 19, 2003 MMR vaccine....this case is appropriate for compensation under the terms of the Vaccine Program...'

Vaccine Court Awards Millions to Two Children With Autism
by David Kirby
'...The federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, better known as "vaccine court," has just awarded millions of dollars to two children with autism for "pain and suffering" and lifelong care of their injuries, which together could cost tens of millions of dollars.
The government did not admit that vaccines caused autism, at least in one of the children. Both cases were "unpublished," meaning information is limited, and access to medical records and other exhibits is blocked. Much of the information presented here comes from documents found at the vaccine court website...'

American parents awarded £600,000 in compensation after their son developed autism as a result of MMR vaccine
Saeid and Parivash Mojabi claimed their son suffered a 'severe brain injury'
The Californian couple said that son Ryan was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder
By DAVID GARDNER PUBLISHED: 01:32, 15 January 2013
Parents who claim their 10-year-old boy developed autism as a result of being injected with an MMR vaccine when he was a baby have been awarded more than £600,000 in a landmark court decision in America.
Saeid and Parivash Mojabi claimed that son Ryan suffered a ‘severe and debilitating injury to his brain’ after being administered with two measles-mumps-rubella vaccinations in December, 2003 and in May the following year.
They said in court papers that Ryan was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.The ruling comes months after a judge in Italy awarded £140,000 to an Italian couple who said their son had autism after his routine childhood MMR inoculation.
The American decision - although it doesn’t lay fault for the child’s disability with the drug - fuels anti-MMR campaigners challenging the view of the majority of the medical profession that holds the vaccinations are safe.
The claim was against the US government which set up a Vaccine Programme. Although a judgement rules whether or not each case is eligible for compensation and the amount - in this case against the US Health Department - it does not apportion blame.
The San Jose, California, based family took their case to the US Court of Federal Claims in 2006.
Under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Programme, parents can petition the US government for compensation for injuries or deaths allegedly caused by compulsory childhood vaccines.
A judgement in Ryan’s case, which was first filed in 2006, was made on December 13 last year by the Office of Special Masters set up by US Congress to decide on compensation claims. The defendant in the case was the US Secretary of Health and Human Services.
The damages payment takes into account the boy’s future loss of earnings because it’s unlikely he will be able to work.
In statements to the court, Ryan’s grandmother Paravaneh Shah-Mohammadi and his aunt Pooran Vahabi told how the boy appeared ‘lethargic’, ‘hardly responsive to noises and people around him,’and ‘unable to hold himself upright’ after having the first MMR vaccination.
The number of autism cases in the UK has soared over the past four decades. At the last count researchers found one in 64 British children have some kind of autistic condition.In the Eighties, only four in every 10,000 children showed any signs of autism.
The Department of Health and NHS doctors insist that better diagnosis of autism and environmental factors are responsible for the dramatic rise in the number of cases and dismissed MMR vaccinations as a cause.
No link between the jabs and autism has been found in the British courts.
In America, nearly 5,000 families blame the MMR injection for causing their children’s autism.
In 2008, a girl called Hannah Poling was awarded £1 million damages by the US government when a court ruled that receiving nine vaccines in one day, including the MMR, had caused her autistic condition.
But the court said that Hannah had an underlying cell disorder, mitochondria, which had been aggravated by the vaccinations and manifested itself as autism.
In Ryan’s case, Chief Special Master Patricia Campbell-Smith decided his family was eligible for damages under the US government’s Vaccine Programme.

From the Scottish Sunday Mail - 23/12/2012 (Not online)
AUTISM HAS DOUBLED IN FIVE YEARS.
Call for probe into rise.
The number of school pupils classified as autistic has more than doubled in five years.
Scottish government figures show 8650 school kids were this year recorded as having an autistic spectrum disorder, characterised by relationship and behavioural problems.
The number has soared from 3919 in 2007, with children on the autism spectrum now making up more than one per cent of the school population.
A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: "The rise in number of pupils with autism may be partly down to better and more consistent recording. Schools are increasingly becoming better at recognising and recording those pupils with autism, and those children have improved access to diagnostic services. The Scottish Strategy for Autism was launched in November 2011 and funding of £13.4 million was announced to implement the strategy".
But campaigners yesterday called for an inquiry into the reason for the rise.
Tory MSP Murdo Fraser said: " The Scottish Government must sanction detailed research into these findings. Increases could be related to better diagnosis but at the same time could be linked to unknown medical or social issues".

Opinion: Scientist fires latest shot in mandatory flu vaccine debate
BY TOM JEFFERSON, SPECIAL TO THE SUN - NOVEMBER 19, 2012
Dr. Perry Kendall’s responses to my comments (in Monday’s Vancouver Sun) are as disturbing as his original misreporting of my research.He states that the influenza vaccine is “60 per cent effective” and concludes that it reduces the chances somebody will pick up the virus and pass it on to patients. The figure of 60 per cent is a relative estimate which gives an inflated impression of performance. The best evidence of the performance of the influenza vaccine comes from trials in healthy adults. The relevant Cochrane review was first published in 1999 and has been updated several times since. The review shows that you need to vaccinate between 33 and 99 adults to avoid the onset of symptoms in one person. On average the vaccines prevent the loss of half a working day. There is no evidence in any literature that the vaccine avoids person-to-person spread as (chief health officer for B.C.) Kendall seems to imply. Another of his statements shows just how ideologically-driven his policies are. “When asked how many patients die each year because they pick up viruses like the flu, Kendall said he didn’t know because the information is not routinely collected.” If he does not know how many people die because of influenza, how does he know it’s a problem of such proportion to justify coercive policies? Also, how will he evaluate his policy which has caused so much resistance? If he does not know what the “before” looks like, how is he going to compare it with any “after” to assess whether Canadian taxpayers’ cash is well spent?
Perhaps the most bizarre of the statements made is that The Lancet, the British Medical Journal, the Canadian Medical Association Journal, the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology in the United States, they’ve all called for mandatory immunization of health care workers. Could Kendall please give us references to the BMJ and Lancet endorsement of mandatory immunization with influenza vaccines? The Canadian Medical Association Journal recently published an editorial with a misquote of our Cochrane review which was as distorted as Kendall’s.
The points made by Dr. Paul van Buynder and colleagues are equally vague. Van Buynder and colleagues state that the Cochrane Collaboration has a “narrow evidentiary standard.” Had they bothered to read our reviews they would have discovered that all relevant studies comparing vaccination of children, adults, elderly and health care workers with no vaccination have been included.
The problem is not inclusion, it’s the quality of what is included, as I have already explained. The are many studies in literature that conclude that vaccination of health care workers and healthy adults works well, but bias in these studies is so great that the vaccines appear to work against death for all causes, but not against death from respiratory infections.
Following this perverted logic would have inactivated vaccines save lives from accidents, strokes, accidental poisoning, hypothermia and falls, but not from influenza and pneumonia? Either the inactivated vaccines are miracle workers or there is something very wrong with the evidence. Cochrane reviews weigh the evidence by its quality, not by their conclusions, to allow interpretation of the study results with some confidence — this has nothing to do with “good” or “perfect.”
The statement that “the logic is indisputable” reveals a high degree of dogmatism. The inactivated vaccines should work in theory, just like many things work in theory, but real evidence suggests they are not having the desired effect. So far we have distortion of research findings, evidence-free statements and evidence-free policies supporting coercion of human beings. What next?
Dr. Tom Jefferson is with the Cochrane Respiratory Infections Group in Rome, Italy.
