Omicron, clinical picture (7th December)

Dr Angelique Coetzee, South African Medical Association

First to raise alarm about the new omicron

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtELl7-zE_w

Totally different symptoms

Can be easily missed

Body aches and pains

Muscle pains

Headache

Tiredness (1 to 2 days)

Slight sore throat

No severe cough 

No runny nose

Decrease in patients coming to doctors

South Africa vaccines

Pfizer

J and J

Hospitalizations, 99% unvaccinated

Symptoms more intense in unvaccinated

More intense but not severe

Body aches and pains

Muscle pains

Headache

Lateral flow testing and Omicron

Becomes positive after 24 hours up to 5 days

Very accurate

Omicron prevalence in SA

Ref for graphics (3rd December data)

https://www.nicd.ac.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Update-of-SA-sequencing-data-from-GISAID-3-Dec-21-Final.pdf

SGTF has increased from 0.9% in October to 96.3% for November. 

Children under the age of 12 years accounted for 7.9% of the SGTF positives,

and those 13 – 18 years old for 6.1%.

Omicron and common cold

https://osf.io/f7txy/

Omicron has insertion mutation ins214EPE

(From the common cold, HCoV-229E coronavirus)

Could have been acquired by switching

Involving the genomes of other viruses that infect the same host cells as SARS-CoV-2

It is plausible that the Omicron insertion
could have evolved in a co-infected individual

PFIZER AND BIONTECH PROVIDE UPDATE ON OMICRON VARIANT

https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-and-biontech-provide-update-omicron-variant

Preliminary laboratory studies demonstrate that three doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine neutralize the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529 lineage),

while two doses show significantly reduced neutralization titers

Data indicate that a third dose of BNT162b2 increases the neutralizing antibody titers by 25-fold compared to two doses against the Omicron variant;
 
titers after the booster dose are comparable to titers observed after two doses against the wild-type virus which are associated with high levels of protection

As 80% of epitopes in the spike protein recognized by CD8+ T cells are not affected by the mutations in the Omicron variant, two doses may still induce protection against severe disease

The companies continue to advance the development of a variant-specific vaccine for Omicron and expect to have it available by March

in the event that an adaption is needed to further increase the level and duration of protection – with no change expected to the companies’ four billion dose capacity for 2022

https://osf.io/f7txy/

Omicron has insertion mutation ins214EPE

(From the common cold, HCoV-229E coronavirus)

Could have been acquired by switching

Involving the genomes of other viruses that infect the same host cells as SARS-CoV-2

It is plausible that the Omicron insertion
could have evolved in a co-infected individual

PFIZER AND BIONTECH PROVIDE UPDATE ON OMICRON VARIANT

https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-and-biontech-provide-update-omicron-variant

Preliminary laboratory studies demonstrate that three doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine neutralize the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529 lineage),

while two doses show significantly reduced neutralization titers

Data indicate that a third dose of BNT162b2 increases the neutralizing antibody titers by 25-fold compared to two doses against the Omicron variant;
 
titers after the booster dose are comparable to titers observed after two doses against the wild-type virus which are associated with high levels of protection

As 80% of epitopes in the spike protein recognized by CD8+ T cells are not affected by the mutations in the Omicron variant, two doses may still induce protection against severe disease

The companies continue to advance the development of a variant-specific vaccine for Omicron and expect to have it available by March

in the event that an adaption is needed to further increase the level and duration of protection – with no change expected to the companies’ four billion dose capacity for 2022<p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <description>High infection rates in UK, going down in US

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/10/19/people-must-cautious-day-to-day-interactions-covid-cases-climb/

Lower functional immunity in our population than most other 
Western European countries

Early vaccine roll out

AstraZeneca protects slightly less well than Pfizer against infection and transmission, particularly delta variant

Slightly lower overall vaccination coverage, particularly vaccinating teenagers

Fewer social restrictions

High rates of testing

UK, ONS

 https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19/latestinsights

Two vaccine doses give similar protection as previous infection 

Two doses of either Pfizer-BioNTech or Oxford-AstraZeneca

Provided a similar level of protection as having had a previous natural infection of coronavirus

During delta variant times

Vaccination reduced the risk of testing positive, 

both when the alpha variant was dominant in the UK (1 December 2020 to 16 May 2021) 

and when the delta variant was dominant (17 May to 14 August 2021)

Two doses of Pfizer-BioNTech

Reduced the risk of testing positive by 73% in the delta period

Two doses of Oxford-AstraZeneca

Reduced the risk of testing positive by 62% in the delta period

Two vaccination doses, more effective than one at preventing symptomatic infection in both periods. 

Three weeks after vaccination

Two doses always more protective than one

(75% v 58%)

Inconsistent with covid symptom study

https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/do-i-need-a-covid-vaccine-if-ive-had-covid

Two doses of the Pfizer

87% protection against infection

Two doses of the AstraZeneca

71% protection against infection

Natural infection alone

Only gave 65% protection against catching it again

Israeli data consistent with ONS but inconsistent with covid symptom study

Protection of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection is similar to that of BNT162b2 vaccine protection: A three-month nationwide experience from Israel

      <title>Lab viral origins report </title>
      <description>The Lancet Commission on lessons for the future from the 
COVID-19 pandemic, 14th September 2022
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)01585-9/fulltext

https://covid19commission.org

Viral origins

The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2 remains unknown. 

There are two leading hypotheses: 

that the virus emerged as a zoonotic spillover from wildlife or a farm animal, 

possibly through a wet market, 

in a location that is still undetermined; 

or that the virus emerged from a research-related incident, 

during the field collection of viruses,

or through a laboratory-associated escape. 

No independent, transparent, and science-based investigation has been carried out regarding the bioengineering of SARS-like viruses that was underway before the outbreak of COVID-19. 

The laboratory notebooks, databases, email records, and samples of institutions involved in such research have not been made available to independent researchers. 

Independent researchers have not yet investigated the US laboratories engaged in the laboratory manipulation of SARS-CoV-like viruses, 

nor have they investigated the details of the laboratory research that had been underway in Wuhan.

US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has resisted disclosing details of the research on SARS-CoV-related viruses that it had been supporting,

providing extensively redacted information only as required by Freedom of Information Act lawsuits.

In brief, there are many potential proximal origins of SARS-CoV-2, but there is still a shortfall of independent, scientific, and collaborative work on the issue. 

The search for the origins of the virus requires unbiased, independent, transparent, and rigorous work by international teams in the fields of virology, epidemiology, bioinformatics, 

and other related fields, and supported by all governments.

In the absence of an unbiased, independent, and rigorous search for a natural origin by a multidisciplinary team of experts alongside an unbiased, independent, and rigorous investigation of the research-related hypotheses, 

the public's trust in science will be imperilled, 

with potentially grave long-term repercussions. 

It is therefore crucial to investigate all hypotheses fully, 

not only to ascertain the source of the pandemic and to protect against future emerging infectious diseases, 

but also to ensure the integrity of science itself. 

The perceived lack of transparency to date by leading scientific agencies and laboratories is troubling and needs to be addressed.

Strategies to prevent research-related releases should include stronger international and national oversight of biosafety, 

biosecurity, and biorisk management, 

including the strict regulation of gain of function research of concern.

When investigating the origins of any novel pathogen, 

potential hypotheses should not be prematurely rejected to ensure that time-sensitive data—

such as early case information and laboratory records—are collected.

WHO provide a helpful guide on how to report misinformation online

Inaccurate information spreads widely and at speed, 

making it more difficult for the public to identify verified facts and advice from trusted sources, such as their local health authority or WHO.

As a starting point in the UK, only NHS organisations are being invited to self-certify against the NHS Standard for Creating Health Content. 

By completing the self-certification process, an NHS organisation channel will be eligible for information panels indicating NHS credibility. 

From FDA to MHRA: are drug regulators for hire?

Regulatory agencies, large proportions of their budgets,

funded by the industry they are sworn to regulate

US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

1992, Prescription Drug User Fee Act, allowing industry to fund the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) directly through “user fees” 

Net PDUFA fees collected

$29m in 1993

$884m in 2016 (65% of budget)

FDA, 9 out of 10 of its past commissioners between 2006 and 2019 went on to secure roles linked with pharmaceutical companies

European Medicines Agency (EMA)

Industry fees funded 20% European Medicines Agency (EMA), in 1995

By 2010, 75%

Today, 89%

Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)

86% of funding from Pharmaceutical Industry

Australia

It was expected that Newspeak would have finally superseded Oldspeak (or Standard English, as we should call it) by about the year 2050

The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible.

The C vocabulary was supplementary to the others and consisted entirely of scientific and technical terms. These resembled the scientific terms in use today, and were constructed from the same roots, but the usual care was taken to define them rigidly and strip them of undesirable meanings.

From FDA to MHRA: are drug regulators for hire?

https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1538.full

Regulatory agencies, large proportions of their budgets,

funded by the industry they are sworn to regulate

US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

1992, Prescription Drug User Fee Act, allowing industry to fund the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) directly through “user fees” 

Net PDUFA fees collected

$29m in 1993

$884m in 2016 (65% of budget)

FDA, 9 out of 10 of its past commissioners between 2006 and 2019 went on to secure roles linked with pharmaceutical companies

European Medicines Agency (EMA)

Industry fees funded 20% European Medicines Agency (EMA), in 1995

By 2010, 75%

Today, 89%

Have you ever felt the covid story did not entirely add up? Expired contains multiple eye-opening revelations about covid with compelling evidence that provides a coherent, sober and clear explanation that better fits the data we have so far. 
Meticulous research by pathologist Dr Clare Craig sheds light on the largely overlooked evidence of airborne virus transmission, examining twelve related beliefs on spread, lockdowns, asymptomatic infections, and masks. In addition, Expired champions the importance of Western ethical principles, damaged by pandemic actions and calls for their restoration. 
The covid debate has proved incredibly polarising. One side believed every intervention was saving lives, while the other emphasised the harms caused. Biased modelling based on a worst-case scenario led to fearful assumptions presented as fact. By dint of sheer repetition these ‘facts’ became unquestionable.

      <description>Do not introduce Digital ID cards, https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/730194

1-year risks of cancers associated with COVID-19 vaccination: a large population-based cohort study in South Korea

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-second-massive-population
https://biomarkerres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40364-025-00831-w

Large-scale population-based retrospective study in South Korea

To estimate the cumulative incidences and subsequent risks of overall cancers 1 year after COVID-19 vaccination. 

Data N= 8,407,849

Between 2021 and 2023

Korean National Health Insurance database. 

The participants were categorized into two groups based on their COVID-19 vaccination status. 

Cancers significantly increased, 1 year post-vaccination

Thyroid HR, 1.351 
(95% CI, 1.206–1.514)

Gastric HR, 1.335 
(95% CI, 1.130–1.576)

Colorectal HR, 1.283 
(95% CI, 1.122–1.468)

Lung HR, 1.533 
(95% CI, 1.254–1.874)

Breast HR, 1.197 
(95% CI, 1.069–1.340)

Prostate HR, 1.687 
(95% CI, 1.348–2.111)

cDNA vaccines

Associated with the increased risks of:

Thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, prostate cancers

mRNA vaccines

Linked to the increased risks of:

Thyroid, colorectal, lung, breast cancers

Heterologous vaccination

Related to the increased risks of:

Thyroid, breast cancers. 

Observed associations between COVID-19 vaccination and cancer incidence

Vaccinated men

More vulnerable to gastric and lung cancers

Vaccinated women

More susceptible to thyroid and colorectal cancers. 

Population under 65

More vulnerable to thyroid and breast cancers

Population over 75

More susceptible to prostate cancer

COVID-19 vaccination-associated cancer risk was likely more elevated among individuals aged ≤ 65 

(except prostate cancer)

Booster doses

Gastric and pancreatic cancers
Mechanisms from the paper
Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system
Mutagenicity
Inflammatory cascade
Underlying molecular mechanisms 

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

      <description>Vaccine and drug inquire … postponed

https://covid19.public-inquiry.uk/news/update-on-the-inquirys-investigation-into-vaccines-and-therapeutics/

Public hearings for the Inquiry’s fourth investigation, into vaccines and therapeutics (Module 4), will be rescheduled.

The hearings were provisionally scheduled to take place in the summer of 2024. They will now take place at a later date,

to enable organisations to prioritise providing evidence for the Inquiry’s third investigation on the impact of the pandemic on healthcare (Module 3).

There will be no preliminary hearing for Module 4 on 8 February.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12947575/Covid-Inquirys-probe-vaccines-delayed-indefinitely-chair-admits-postponement-disappointing-some.html

Covid Inquiry's probe into vaccines is delayed indefinitely as chair admits postponement will be 'disappointing for some'

Hearings for fourth module of the official inquiry were set to begin this summer

A long-awaited probe into the development of Covid vaccines and drugs was today postponed indefinitely.

Baroness Heather Hallett

'I know the postponement of these hearings will be disappointing for some’

'I wish to reassure you that we will hold these hearings as soon as possible.'

Baroness Hallett, to ensure the inquiry doesn't run beyond summer 2026.

Thought to have cost taxpayers £145million already

November 2022

Paul Burrell (Her Majesty Elizabeth II)

"There are powers at work in this country about which we have no knowledge,"


Disease X is looming

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/07/diseasex-pandemic-preparedness-cepi/

The world needs to be better prepared to tackle a future pandemic,

By mapping viruses with the potential to become the next “Disease X”, the global health community and governments can be more responsive the next time a pandemic looms

Global collaboration and adequate funding are needed to improve pandemic preparedness and ensure fast action to keep a viral outbreak at bay

“You can get a long way towards being able to produce something that will target a novel virus before that virus even emerges.”

“It’s a virus that we don't know yet, but we do know is out there, and we do know has the potential to spill over from an animal population potentially into humans, perhaps mutate or adapt itself and then begin spreading and killing people faster than we can contain it.”

… carrying out research and vaccine development for known viral “families” that could impact humans – of which there are 25 – would give humanity a decided advantage over the next Disease X.

'I know the postponement of these hearings will be disappointing for some’

'I wish to reassure you that we will hold these hearings as soon as possible.'

The world needs to be better prepared to tackle a future pandemic,

By mapping viruses with the potential to become the next “Disease X”, the global health community and governments can be more responsive the next time a pandemic looms

Global collaboration and adequate funding are needed to improve pandemic preparedness and ensure fast action to keep a viral outbreak at bay

“You can get a long way towards being able to produce something that will target a novel virus before that virus even emerges.”

“It’s a virus that we don't know yet, but we do know is out there, and we do know has the potential to spill over from an animal population potentially into humans, perhaps mutate or adapt itself and then begin spreading and killing people faster than we can contain it.”

… carrying out research and vaccine development for known viral “families” that could impact humans – of which there are 25 – would give humanity a decided advantage over the next Disease X.

        <![CDATA[Vaccine and drug inquire … postponed

https://covid19.public-inquiry.uk/news/update-on-the-inquirys-investigation-into-vaccines-and-therapeutics/

Public hearings for the Inquiry’s fourth investigation, into vaccines and therapeutics (Module 4), will be rescheduled.

The hearings were provisionally scheduled to take place in the summer of 2024. They will now take place at a later date,

to enable organisations to prioritise providing evidence for the Inquiry’s third investigation on the impact of the pandemic on healthcare (Module 3).

There will be no preliminary hearing for Module 4 on 8 February.

      <description>Covid antibodies found in stored blood samples

Milan Institute for Tumour Diseases, Coronavirus antibodies, September, 2019

Unexpected detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the prepandemic period in Italy (October 2021)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33176598/

Full text version

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8529295/

Screening and Multiple Intervention on Lung Epidemics (SMILE
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03654105

There are no robust data, coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and spread, prepandemic period worldwide

We investigated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD)-specific antibodies

Blood samples of 959 asymptomatic individuals,

enrolled in a prospective lung cancer screening trial,

between September 2019 and March 2020

Plasma samples repository

Results

SARS-CoV-2 RBD-specific antibodies were detected in,

111 of 959 (11.6%) individuals

All the patients were asymptomatic at the time of blood sample collection.

Actual timeframe

First positive test, 3rd September

September 2019 23/162 (14.2%) 

October 2019 27/166 (16.3%) 

Second week of February 2020, (more than 30%)

By the end of September, Lombardy, Veneto, Piedmont, Emilia Romagna, Liguria, Lazio, Campania, Friuli.

Official timeframe

End of December 2019, coronavirus 2 identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China

January 30th 2020 Italy’s first two cases, 

(two tourists from China tested positive in Rome)

February 20, 2020 Lombardy, 38-year-old man, no history of travel

Authors

This study shows an unexpected very early circulation of SARS-CoV-2 among asymptomatic individuals

Several months before the first patient was identified

Finding SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in asymptomatic people before the COVID-19 outbreak in Italy may reshape the history of pandemic.

Phenomena 1

Underestimation of prevalence

Swabs and serology, focused on symptomatic cases

Therefore, an underestimation of overall COVID-19 infections

(Selection bias)

Therefore overestimation of mortality rate

May 25 and July 15 (2020)

SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence study, n = 64,660

Prevalence rate was 2.5%

Approximately 1.5 million, (many of whom were asymptomatic)

Estimate almost 5 times higher than official reports

Phenomena 2

Onset of the epidemic, likely to have preceded identification of the first case

November–December 2019

Doctors reporting, severe respiratory symptoms in elderly and frail,

with atypical bilateral bronchitis, 

which was attributed to aggressive forms of seasonal influenza

Based on these findings, a prior unnoticed circulation of the virus among the Italian population could be hypothesized.

October 2019 to February 2020

Louise Restaurant and Bar, night of 26th November

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2021/12/07/europes-biggest-omicron-outbreak-appears-mild-say-norway-covid/

Oslo, Norway, Christmas party

Scatec solar power company

One or two returned traveller

Had returned days earlier

120 people (all double vaccinated)

Mingled with outside groups later

70 of the 120 plus 50 others tested positive

Half tested positive for omicron

13 proven in sequencing

Dr. Tine Ravlo, Oslo, infectious diseases

They have symptoms like fever, cough, headache, muscle pain,  fatigue, 

but for now none of them have become severely ill and none of them have been treated in hospital

The next day, one of two employees,

recently returned from South Africa tested positive

Norway's state epidemiologist, Frode Forland

Sheer number of people infected at a single event, omicron considerably more infectious than delta

Prof Forland, Norwegian Institute of Public Health

One of three scenarios for omicron,
it would be both very mild and very transmissible

That is the hope 
That is the best scenario we can have

That it's getting minder, 

most people will get it, 

and they will get a natural immunity

It might be that it has now replicated and mutated so many times,

that this is the optimal position from the virus' point of view, 

to spread widely and not kill the hosts 

That's what we've seen with other diseases beforehand. 

And of course, then it gets into more like an endemic phase

Now this is not the end
Nor is it the end of the beginning
Rather it is the beginning of the end

Sally
I've had Delta, this time last year (pretty rough, took 6 months to fully recover) and I have Omicron now. The symptoms of Omicron are as you state. I am vaccinated.

Have you ever felt the covid story did not entirely add up? Expired contains multiple eye-opening revelations about covid with compelling evidence that provides a coherent, sober and clear explanation that better fits the data we have so far. 
Meticulous research by pathologist Dr Clare Craig sheds light on the largely overlooked evidence of airborne virus transmission, examining twelve related beliefs on spread, lockdowns, asymptomatic infections, and masks. In addition, Expired champions the importance of Western ethical principles, damaged by pandemic actions and calls for their restoration. 
The covid debate has proved incredibly polarising. One side believed every intervention was saving lives, while the other emphasised the harms caused. Biased modelling based on a worst-case scenario led to fearful assumptions presented as fact. By dint of sheer repetition these ‘facts’ became unquestionable. Those scientists who dared to question were proclaimed dangerous. Welcome to Cloud-Covid-Land.
Let’s bring back nuance. It’s time to return to reality."

      <title>Boston gain of function virus </title>
      <description>Please share this video, this research must STOP. Gain of function research in the USA today using enhanced potential pandemic pathogen (ePPP) research

Professor Shmuel Shapira, lead scientist, Israeli Government

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11323677/Outrage-Boston-University-CREATES-Covid-strain-80-kill-rate.html

This should be totally forbidden, it's playing with fire

Dr Richard Ebright, Rutgers University, New Brunswick

The research is a clear example of gain of function research.

If we are to avoid a next lab-generated pandemic, 

it is imperative that oversight of enhanced potential pandemic pathogen research be strengthened.

it is imperative that officials at US-government agencies,

who repeatedly have placed the public at risk by repeatedly violating the existing policies be held accountable

Prof David Livermore, microbiology, University of East Anglia

given the strong likelihood that the Covid pandemic originated from the escape of a lab-manipulated coronavirus in Wuhan, 

these experiments seem profoundly unwise

Role of spike in the pathogenic and antigenic behavior of SARS-CoV-2 BA.1 Omicron

14th October 2022

Boston University School of Medicine

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.10.13.512134v1

Predominant SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (BA.1) is highly transmissible, 

even in fully vaccinated individuals, 

and causes attenuated disease compared with other major viral variants recognized to date

The Omicron spike (S) protein, unusually large number of mutations, 

is considered the major driver of these phenotypes

We generated chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2

A chimera or chimeric virus

One virus containing genetic material derived from two or more distinct viruses

US Center for Veterinary Biologics

https://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/vet_biologics/publications/notice_05_23.pdf

A new hybrid microorganism,

created by joining nucleic acid fragments from two or more different microorganisms,

in which each of at least two of the fragments,

contain essential genes necessary for replication 

We generated chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2

Encoding the S gene of Omicron in the backbone of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 isolate,

and compared this virus with the naturally circulating Omicron variant. 

The Omicron S-bearing virus robustly escapes vaccine-induced humoral immunity, 

mainly due to mutations in the receptor-binding motif,

yet unlike naturally occurring Omicron, 

efficiently replicates in cell lines and primary-like distal lung cells. 

In K18-hACE2 mice

https://www.jax.org/strain/034860

K18-hACE2 transgenic mice express human ACE2, 

including airway epithelia where infections typically begin. 

Because K18-hACE2 are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV viruses, they are useful for studying antiviral therapies to COVID-19 and SARS.

In K18-hACE2 mice

Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, 

the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80%. 

This indicates that while the vaccine escape of Omicron is defined by mutations in S, 

major determinants of viral pathogenicity reside outside of S.

      <title>British Heart Foundation release </title>
      <description>Early heart disease deaths rise to 14-year high
 
Over 100,000 excess deaths involving cardiovascular conditions in England since February 2020

Heart and circulatory diseases cause around a quarter of all deaths in England,

Over 140,000 deaths each year,

or one death every four minutes.

Healthcare costs relating to heart and circulatory diseases, £8.3 billion each year.

The cost of cardiovascular disease to the wider economy in England,

(including premature death, disability and informal costs),

is estimated to be £22 billion each year.

Latest NHS England figures show that the number of people waiting for cardiac care at the end of November in England was 402,208.

The heart care waiting list is 72% larger than in February 2020. 

This is an increase of 169,000 people – enough to fill Wembley stadium nearly twice over.

In 2022

Over 39,000 people in England died prematurely of cardiovascular conditions,

heart attacks, coronary heart disease and stroke,

an average of 750 people each week. 

It is the highest annual total since 2008.
 
Since 2020, the premature death rate for cardiovascular disease has risen year-on-year

This is the first time there has been a clear reversal in the trend for almost 60 years.
 
The BHF says more analysis is needed to understand what is driving the trend. 

Dr Sonya Babu-Narayan, Associate Medical Director at the BHF and Consultant Cardiologist, said: 

We are still seeing more people than expected die from cardiovascular conditions overall – more than any other disease group. 

It’s clear to me that urgent intervention is long overdue.
 
In January 2023, the Government announced a Major Conditions Strategy to tackle the biggest drivers of ill health and early death in England

Drugs Shown to Inhibit SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 Disease: Comparative Basic and Clinical Pharmacology of Molnupiravir and Ivermectin
 
https://austinpublishinggroup.com/pharmacology-therapeutics/fulltext/ajpt-v9-id1149.pdf

https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslie-adesuyi-ajayi-md-phd-fbpharmacols-fwacp-69154a38/

There are still many nations where vaccines are not yet widely available, 

There is a gradual shift in focus, to antiviral drugs, 

Adjunctive chemoprophylaxis

Active treatment of new SARS-CoV-2 infections

Post -vaccination breakthrough COVID-19 cases

The two ways to get new drugs

Develop novel antiviral drugs for SARS-CoV-2 

Repurpose existing FDA -approved drugs to treat COVID-19

Ivermectin is the most studied “repurposed” medication globally, 

in randomized clinical trials, retrospective studies and meta- analyses. 

Molnupiravir and Ivermectin Anti-SARS- CoV-2 Mechanisms, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics 

Molnupiravir is a broad spectrum antiviral agent against SARS- CoV-2, SARS-CoV,

seasonal or pandemic influenza and MERS corona virus

Ivermectin is an FDA-approved, WHO essential drug used as broad spectrum antiparasitic, antibiotic 

and which has demonstrated broad spectrum antiviral activity against RNA viruses, including HIV, Zika, MERS corona virus

The FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166354220302011

5000-fold inhibition of SARS-CoV-2, (99.98% at 48 hours

The inhibitory concentration IC50 of Molnupiravir shows it to be a more potent anti-SARS-CoV-2 agent, compared to Ivermectin in vitro. 

Both molnupiravir and ivermectin are well absorbed after oral dosing

Tmax of molnupiravir being 1-1.75 hours,

With a half life of 7 hours

Tmax of ivermectin is 4-6 hours

Very long half life of 81-91 hours
Ivermectin, being lipophilic has a large volume of distribution

Ivermectin has the ability to accumulate in the lungs

The anti-SARS-CoV-2 actions, both of molnupiravir and ivermectin, are dose and concentration dependent

Molnupiravir active metabolite (NHC-5’ Triphosphate), acts as a competitive alternative substrate for viral RNA

causing viral mutagenesis or mutations, which leads to viral error catastrophe and extinction of replication

There is some concern about the safety of NHC -nucleoside triphosphate, which is also mutagenic to mammalian cells

Ivermectin, multifarious actions, 

Binding to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S

Reducing cell entry via human ACE2 receptors 

Reducing viral transcription

Inhibition of cytokine production and inflammation
(not yet been shown for molnupiravir) 

Complimentary pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drugs

May be additive or synergistic

This should be further investigated in anti-SARS- CoV-2 antiviral combination therapy.

A combination of molnupiravir with Ivermectin putatively, in effects on RdRP or cytokine release. 

Cost

https://www.who.int/selection_medicines/committees/expert/21/reviews/Ivermectin_Review1.pdf

The cost for a package of 100 tablets of 3 mg ivermectin is $2.96.

Say, 12mg per day for 5 days = $0.53

There are still many nations where vaccines are not yet widely available, 

There is a gradual shift in focus, to antiviral drugs, 

Adjunctive chemoprophylaxis

Active treatment of new SARS-CoV-2 infections

Post -vaccination breakthrough COVID-19 cases

The two ways to get new drugs

Develop novel antiviral drugs for SARS-CoV-2 

Repurpose existing FDA -approved drugs to treat COVID-19

Ivermectin is the most studied “repurposed” medication globally, 

in randomized clinical trials, retrospective studies and meta- analyses. 

Molnupiravir and Ivermectin Anti-SARS- CoV-2 Mechanisms, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics 

Molnupiravir is a broad spectrum antiviral agent against SARS- CoV-2, SARS-CoV,

seasonal or pandemic influenza and MERS corona virus

Ivermectin is an FDA-approved, WHO essential drug used as broad spectrum antiparasitic, antibiotic 

and which has demonstrated broad spectrum antiviral activity against RNA viruses, including HIV, Zika, MERS corona virus

The FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166354220302011

5000-fold inhibition of SARS-CoV-2, (99.98% at 48 hours

The inhibitory concentration IC50 of Molnupiravir shows it to be a more potent anti-SARS-CoV-2 agent, compared to Ivermectin in vitro. 

Both molnupiravir and ivermectin are well absorbed after oral dosing

Tmax of molnupiravir being 1-1.75 hours,

With a half life of 7 hours

Tmax of ivermectin is 4-6 hours

Very long half life of 81-91 hours
Ivermectin, being lipophilic has a large volume of distribution

Ivermectin has the ability to accumulate in the lungs

The anti-SARS-CoV-2 actions, both of molnupiravir and ivermectin, are dose and concentration dependent

Molnupiravir active metabolite (NHC-5’ Triphosphate), acts as a competitive alternative substrate for viral RNA

causing viral mutagenesis or mutations, which leads to viral error catastrophe and extinction of replication

There is some concern about the safety of NHC -nucleoside triphosphate, which is also mutagenic to mammalian cells

Ivermectin, multifarious actions, 

Binding to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S

Reducing cell entry via human ACE2 receptors 

Reducing viral transcription

Inhibition of cytokine production and inflammation
(not yet been shown for molnupiravir) 

Complimentary pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drugs

May be additive or synergistic

This should be further investigated in anti-SARS- CoV-2 antiviral combination therapy.

A combination of molnupiravir with Ivermectin putatively, in effects on RdRP or cytokine release. 

Cost

https://www.who.int/selection_medicines/committees/expert/21/reviews/Ivermectin_Review1.pdf

The cost for a package of 100 tablets of 3 mg ivermectin is $2.96.

Say, 12mg per day for 5 days = $0.53

A few of John’s notes on immunity, from my books, free download site, 
http://159.69.48.3/
(You will need to cut and past this address into  search engine)

Acquired or adaptive immunity only develops after there has been contact with a particular antigen. An individual is said to be immune to a particular pathogen when it may be introduced into the body, without causing illness. In contrast to innate immunity, the immune system is changed as a result of exposure to a particular antigen. 
Acquired immunity is specific to a particular antigen. For example, previous exposure to the measles virus will have allowed the immune system to adapt, generating immunity to any future measles infection. However, because the response is specific, the individual may still suffer from mumps, influenza, or indeed any other antigenic organism it has not previously been exposed to. 
Antigens (antibody generators) 
An antigen is anything the immune system recognises as being foreign. When detected, antigens generate an immune response in the body. It is antigens which stimulate the production of antibodies, which are the immune proteins. Usually an antigen is a foreign protein that the body recognises as non-self. The outer coatings of bacteria and viruses contain such foreign proteins. Non-protein large molecules (with a molecular mass of over 1000) will also be antigenic if introduced into the body. So a wide variety of living and non living things can act as antigens; such things are said to possess antigenicity. The specific component of an antigen the immune system recognises as foreign is termed an epitope. 
Cells involved in adaptive immunity 
The important classification of white cells involved in adaptive immunity is the small lymphocytes. Small lymphocytes have a large nucleus with only a small area of cytoplasm. In addition to being found in the blood, there are many small lymphocytes in the structures of the lymphatic system, such as the spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes. 
Small lymphocytes are able to recognise antigenic material, this is essential if they are to mount an immune response. It is estimated that small lymphocytes are capable of producing 100 million different shapes of surface receptors in order to recognise 100 million different forms of antigen. This diversity seems to allow the immune system to recognise all of the possible antigens on the surface of the planet.

      <title>Omicron, across the world</title>
      <description>Cases of omicron doubling every 2 to 3 days in UK

Sajid Javid, Community transmission of Omicron

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59553460

Multiple regions of England

with no links to international travel

21 Omicron cases in England linked to travel from Nigeria

Cases + 90 = 336 confirmed

No hospital admissions

Could not guarantee omicron would not knock us off our road to recovery

Incubation period may be shorter

So a person will become infectious sooner

Omicron to become dominant in the next few weeks

UK response

10,000 vaccinators were being recruited

450 military

Pre-departure tests

Red lists

Masks in shops and public transport

Omicron case contacts required to self-isolate for 10 days, regardless of vaccine status

UK Health Security Agency, 500,000 tests per day

Dominic Raab

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/59559623

Plan B. not required because of success of the vaccination programme. 

Government is taking, targeted and proportionate approach

Denmark

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/05/world/europe/britain-denmark-omicron-cases.html

Omicron, 183 confirmed on Sunday
Triple the Friday estimate

Henrik Ullum, Danish Statens Serum Institut

The time we gain, we must use to get as many people vaccinated as possible

And the shots will be aspirated (JC)

Dr Jeffrey Barrett, director Covid-19 genomics initiative, Wellcome Sanger Institute

Omicron spreading faster than Delta

UK's dominant variant within a matter of weeks

It is too early to make this assumption (on severity)

If only a small proportion of people get seriously ill with Omicron,

a small faction of a really big number can still cause problems

Prof Paul Hunter

New variant could be spreading faster than the currently dominant Delta variant,

would probably start to overtake Delta within the next few weeks

Prof Tim Spector

UK omicron, probably at least 1,000 to 2,000

New variant can only be picked up by 30-40% of PCR tests

Symptoms from Omicron appear at the moment more similar to a cold, 

rather than the classic Covid symptoms of a high temperature, a new, continuous cough or a loss of sense of taste or smell

This means many cases may be missed

Omicron cases are expected to double around every two days

Anthony Fauci on omicron

https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-digest-us-expert-fauci-cautiously-optimistic-over-omicron-reports/a-60029060

Thus far, it does not look like there's a great degree of severity to the omicron variant

But we have really got to be careful before we make any determinations that it is less severe or it really doesn't cause any severe illness, comparable to delta

Mayor Bill de Blasio (NY)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59552524

All New Yorkers will need to be vaccinated if they want to go to work

Public sector employers already

Mandate will now be extended to all private sector employees

From 27th December, 184,000 businesses

Omicron (10 cases so far)

Holiday gatherings

Cold weather

Should be assumed, already community spread in New York

Already mandating

Morgan Stanley, Blackrock and Goldman Sachs, McDonald's, Walgreens, Walmart

President Cyril Ramaphosa, SA

We are experiencing a rate of infections that we have not seen since the pandemic started

Argentina

First case on Sunday

Also Brazil, Mexico, Chile

Russia

First confirmed cases on Monday

Ten people tested positive returning from SA

Two had omicron variant

Asia

Thailand, Nepal, first cases on Monday

India

Up to 21 cases

Cases + 90 = 336 confirmed

No hospital admissions

Could not guarantee omicron would not knock us off our road to recovery

Incubation period may be shorter

So a person will become infectious sooner

Omicron to become dominant in the next few weeks

UK response

10,000 vaccinators were being recruited

450 military

Pre-departure tests

Red lists

Masks in shops and public transport

Omicron case contacts required to self-isolate for 10 days, regardless of vaccine status

UK Health Security Agency, 500,000 tests per day

Dominic Raab

Plan B. not required because of success of the vaccination programme. 

Government is taking, targeted and proportionate approach

Omicron, 183 confirmed on Sunday
Triple the Friday estimate

Henrik Ullum, Danish Statens Serum Institut

The time we gain, we must use to get as many people vaccinated as possible

And the shots will be aspirated (JC)

Dr Jeffrey Barrett, director Covid-19 genomics initiative, Wellcome Sanger Institute

Omicron spreading faster than Delta

UK's dominant variant within a matter of weeks

It is too early to make this assumption (on severity)

If only a small proportion of people get seriously ill with Omicron,

a small faction of a really big number can still cause problems

Prof Paul Hunter

New variant could be spreading faster than the currently dominant Delta variant,

would probably start to overtake Delta within the next few weeks

Prof Tim Spector

UK omicron, probably at least 1,000 to 2,000

New variant can only be picked up by 30-40% of PCR tests

Symptoms from Omicron appear at the moment more similar to a cold, 

rather than the classic Covid symptoms of a high temperature, a new, continuous cough or a loss of sense of taste or smell

This means many cases may be missed

Omicron cases are expected to double around every two days

Anthony Fauci on omicron

https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-digest-us-expert-fauci-cautiously-optimistic-over-omicron-reports/a-60029060

Thus far, it does not look like there's a great degree of severity to the omicron variant

But we have really got to be careful before we make any determinations that it is less severe or it really doesn't cause any severe illness, comparable to delta

Mayor Bill de Blasio (NY)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59552524

All New Yorkers will need to be vaccinated if they want to go to work

Public sector employers already

Mandate will now be extended to all private sector employees

From 27th December, 184,000 businesses

Omicron (10 cases so far)

Holiday gatherings

Cold weather

Should be assumed, already community spread in New York

Already mandating

Morgan Stanley, Blackrock and Goldman Sachs, McDonald's, Walgreens, Walmart

President Cyril Ramaphosa, SA

We are experiencing a rate of infections that we have not seen since the pandemic started

Argentina

First case on Sunday

Also Brazil, Mexico, Chile

Russia

First confirmed cases on Monday

Ten people tested positive returning from SA

Two had omicron variant

Asia

Thailand, Nepal, first cases on Monday

India

Up to 21 cases

      <title>Vit D research, conclusive and important</title>
      <description>Vitamin D supplementation has a protective effect, against the incidence of COVID-19 in RCT studies,

OR 0.403, (95% IC 0.218, 0.747)

In the RCTs performed on HCWs, the overall reduction in risk in the population supplemented with vitamin D was approximately 80%

Against the incidence of COVID-19 in analytical studies

OR = 0.592, (95% IC 0.476–0.736)

Against the incidence of COVID-19 ICU admission

OR 0.317, (95% IC 0.147–0.680). 

Our meta-analysis suggests a definitive and significant association between the protective role of vitamin D and COVID-19 incidence and ICU admission.

Preventive Vitamin D Supplementation and Risk for COVID-19 Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/16/5/679

(28th Feb 2024)

Vitamin D, crucial roles

Bone homeostasis, muscle function, oncogenesis, immune response and metabolism. 

In the context of the COVID-19

Numerous researchers have tried to determine the role vitamin D in the immune response to the virus. 

Systematic review and meta-analysis, 15th May 2023

Preventive vitamin D supplementation, 16 publications

N = 1,262,235 participants,

A protective role in

Incidence of COVID-19

Mortality

Admission to intensive care units (ICUs). 

We calculated the Odds Ratios

The assessment of potential bias and the evaluation of study quality will be conducted independently by two researchers. 

Extra information

The majority of the effects of vitamin D are mediated by the VDR, which promotes the expression of genes containing specific DNA sequences and is expressed in almost all nucleated cells

Approximately 3 percent of the human genome is under the control of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D

Vitamin D has been observed to contribute to the synthesis of defensins, 

to be pivotal for enhancing the phagocytic activity,

and to modulate the immune system response by regulating the inflammatory cascade

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-pfizer-biontech-vaccine-for-covid-19/summary-public-assessment-report-for-pfizerbiontech-covid-19-vaccine

Updated, 16th August, 2022

Reproductive and developmental toxicity

Fertility and early embryonic development and embryofoetal development

A combined fertility and developmental study (including teratogenicity and postnatal investigations) in rats is ongoing.

Prenatal and postnatal development, including maternal function

No such studies have been done.

Studies in which the offspring (juvenile animals) are dosed and/or further evaluated

No such studies have been done.

Local tolerance

No such studies have been done. 

The assessments made as part of the general toxicity study should suffice and a separate study is not needed.

Other toxicity studies

No such studies have been done.

Toxicity conclusions

The absence of reproductive toxicity data is a reflection of the speed of development to first identify and select COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 for clinical testing and its rapid development to meet the ongoing urgent health need. 

In principle, a decision on licensing a vaccine could be taken in these circumstances without data from reproductive toxicity studies animals, 

but there are studies ongoing and these will be provided when available. 

In the context of supply under Regulation 174, 

it is considered that sufficient reassurance of safe use of the vaccine in pregnant women cannot be provided at the present time: 

however, use in women of childbearing potential could be supported,

provided healthcare professionals are advised to rule out known or suspected pregnancy prior to vaccination. 

Women who are breastfeeding should also not be vaccinated.

Pregnancy 

There is no known risk associated with giving inactivated, recombinant viral or bacterial vaccines or toxoids during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding (Kroger et al, 2013). 

Developmental and reproductivity testing of the Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines in animals have not raised any concerns. 

JCVI has therefore advised that women who are pregnant should be recommended to receive primary immunisation, 

and that pregnancy is considered a clinical risk group for the autumn booster programme. 

Routine questioning about last menstrual period and/or pregnancy testing is not required before offering the vaccine. 

Surveillance of the inadvertent administration of COVID-19 vaccines in early pregnancy is being conducted for the UK by the UK Health Security Agency Immunisation and Vaccine Preventable Diseases Division, to whom such cases should be reported.1 

This surveillance is being undertaken to document safety in women who unknowingly receive a vaccine in early pregnancy

      <description>Long covid seems to be the same as any other post viral syndrome

https://www.scimex.org/newsfeed/expert-reaction-long-covid-may-be-no-different-to-other-long-term-virus-effects

From: European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2024, Barcelona, Spain, 27-30 April).

Queensland data

Long COVID ‘indistinguishable’ from other post-viral syndromes and other respiratory virus a year after infection

Comparison with influenza and other respiratory illnesses 

Australia, Queensland,

During Omicron wave

No evidence of worse post-viral symptoms or functional impairment a year after infection.

Long COVID may have appeared to be a distinct and severe illness because of high numbers of COVID-19 cases.

N= 5,112 adult symptomatic individuals

(Fatigue, brain fog, cough, shortness of breath, change to smell and taste, dizziness, rapid or irregular heartbeat)

PCRs conducted between 29 May and 25 June 2022

PCR-confirmed infection for COVID-19 = 2,399

PCR negative for COVID-19 = 2,713

Influenza positive = 995

Results collected, May and June 2023

Overall

Still reporting symptoms, 16% (834/5,112)

Still reported moderate-to-severe functional impairment, 3.6% (184)

Those still reporting any symptoms after a year

Post Covid
    No difference
Post Influenza

Those with moderate-to-severe functional limitations a year after diagnosis

None covid adults, 3%

Covid positive adults, 4.1%

Influenza positive adults, 3.4%
 
https://bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/bmjph/1/1/e000060.full.pdf

Comparison at 12 weeks post infection

Ongoing symptoms after covid, 21.4%

Ongoing symptoms after influenza, 23%

Moderate to severe functional impairment after covid, 4.1%

Moderate to severe functional impairment after influenza, 4.4%

Obvious question not addressed!!

Presence of spike protein antibodies

Dr John Gerrard, Queensland’s Chief Health Officer

These findings underscore the importance of comparing post-COVID-19 outcomes with those following other respiratory infections, and of further research into post-viral syndromes.

Furthermore, we believe it is time to stop using terms like ‘long COVID’. 

They wrongly imply there is something unique and exceptional about longer term symptoms associated with this virus. 

This terminology can cause unnecessary fear

      <title>Long-term disease in children post-vaccination</title>
      <description>Henry Ford vaccine study. Senator Ron Johnson’s hearing, titled “How the Corruption of Science has Impacted Public Perception and Policies Regarding Vaccines,”

https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/events/committee-hearings/how-corruption-science-impact-public-perception-policies-vaccines/

After multivariate adjustment 

57% of vaccinated children developed at least one chronic health condition (often multiple)

17% of unvaccinated children were chronically ill.

Exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an increased risk of developing a chronic health condition (HR 2.53, CI 2.16-2.96). 

Exposure to vaccination

Overall, the development of a chronic health condition occurred more often in the group exposed versus unexposed to vaccination.

(p less than 0.0001) IRR 2.48, 
(CI 2.12-2.91). 

Risk independently associated with an increased risk of:

Asthma HR 4.25, (CI 3.23-5.59)

Autoimmune disease HR 4.79, 
(CI 1.36-16.94)

Atopic disease HR 3.03, 
(CI 2.01-4.57)

Eczema HR 1.31, (CI 1.13-1.52)

Neurodevelopmental disorder 
HR 5.53, (CI 2.91-10.51)

(mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders including developmental delay and speech disorder)

Ear infection IRR 6.63, 
(CI 5.73-7.66)

Chronic ear infection IRR 5.67, 
(CI 4.37-7.37)

Anaphylaxis IRR 8.88, 
(CI 1.24-63.47)

Asthma attack or bronchospasm IRR 6.30, (CI 3.85-10.31)

There were no chronic health conditions associated with an increased risk in the unexposed group.

Statistical comparisons could not be conducted for certain conditions, such as diabetes and ADHD, because there were no cases in the unexposed group. 
 
Ten years of follow up

The overall probability of being free of a chronic health condition at 10-years of follow up:

43% in the group exposed to vaccination

83% in the unexposed group.

Impact of Childhood Vaccination on Short and Long-Term Chronic Health Outcomes in Children: A Birth Cohort Study

Objective: To compare the short and long-term health outcomes, within a captured payer environment, of children exposed to one or more vaccines to those unexposed.

Setting: Integrated healthcare system in Michigan.
 
Participants: 18,468 children born between 2000 and 2016,

enrolled in the health system insurance plan. 

Main Outcome Measures: Development of a chronic health condition over time.

Results: 

18,468 consecutive subjects

1,957 had no exposure to vaccination

16,511 had received at least one vaccine (various levels of exposure). 

In exposed subjects, the median number of vaccinations was 18 (IQR 2-28). 

Conclusion: This study found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold increase in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition, 

when compared to children unexposed to vaccination. 

This suggests that in certain children, exposure to vaccination may increase the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition, particularly for one of these conditions.

Omicron is displaying a significant growth advantage over Delta, 

likely to outcompete Delta in the UK and become the dominant variant.

If the growth rate and doubling time continue,

at least 50% of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases to be caused by Omicron variant by mid-December

One million by end of December

1% = 10,000

Omicron displays a reduction in protection offered by having had a previous infection or vaccination.

There is insufficient data to make any assessment of protection against severe disease, 

or to assess the severity of illness caused by Omicron. 

Further studies are underway in the UK and abroad.

Hospital admissions from Omicron should be expected to follow soon (high confidence).

Though there remain some important uncertainties, 

Early verbal reports indicate that hospitalisations due to Omicron are now increasing in South Africa.

The doubling time for new Omicron infections is currently around 3 days in England

It is unlikely to be any slower than a 5-day doubling time (high confidence)

Household studies show higher secondary attack rates (high confidence).

Why is omicron more transmissible?

Combinations of transmissibility and immune escape

Some early indications from South Africa suggest less severe disease in those hospitalised

A modest reduction in severity would not avert high numbers of hospitalisations if growth rates remained very high.

One thousand per day be end of month

The peak is highly likely to be higher than 1,000 to 2,000 Omicron hospital admissions per day without intervention

For it to be below this level there would need to be only a small degree of immune escape and very high protection from boosters against Omicron

With very rapid doubling times a large wave could occur leading to synchronous absences from work.

At least one UK Omicron death

I think the idea that this is somehow a milder version of the virus, 

I think that’s something we need to set on one side and just recognise the sheer pace at which it accelerates through the population. 

So the best thing we can do is all get our boosters.

I am in the Western Cape province in SA where we have just entered our fourth wave, behind other provinces like Gauteng, which seems to have just peaked. 

Even though our area hasn’t been hit badly by Omicron infections yet, cases are rising quite quickly. Compared to Delta, where you could feel people were very anxious about contracting that variant and almost everyone knew someone in hospital and most knew someone who had died, the mood is definitely different. 

We are just not hearing about mass hospitalisations like in the third wave and those that are testing positive are mainly feeling flu like symptoms for a few days and then recovering. We are really hopeful that Omicron is definitely much milder.

      <title>Covid Inquiry displays fundamental bias</title>
      <description>Covid Inquiry appears fundamentally biased, say scientists

55 professors and academics

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/12/covid-inquiry-biased-say-scientists/

An open letter to Baroness Hallett, Chair of the UK Covid Inquiry 

The Inquiry must urgently address its apparent biases, assumptions, impartiality, &amp; lack of evidence-based approach 

First, the Inquiry gives the impression of being fundamentally biased. 

there has been little opportunity for petitions to be brought by those who have suffered from the negative effects of pandemic policy decisions. 

This is preventing a more holistic assessment of impacts on population health and wellbeing. 

This lack of neutrality appears to have led to biased reasoning and predetermined conclusions, for example, to lockdown faster next time. 

Second, the Inquiry is taking key assumptions for granted

instead of examining and critiquing them in light of the evidence.
 
The consensus position in pre-2020 pandemic plans was that non-pharmaceutical interventions, including lockdown, had weak evidence of effectiveness, and were predicted to cause substantial harm to society, especially if used for prolonged periods. 

This informed the initial response to Covid in early 2020. Yet, the Inquiry assumes that these measures are effective and appropriate. 

As a result, it downplays the harms to society caused by two years of emergency infection control mandates. 

Third, the Inquiry lacks impartiality in the selection and questioning of expert witnesses. 

It has given preferential treatment to scientific advisers on SAGE,

who have a vested interest in maintaining the justification for their policy recommendations. 

Very few scientists with an alternative position have been asked to testify, and the Inquiry has been confrontational rather than inquisitorial in its questioning of these views. 

The Inquiry has not seriously questioned the hypotheses and assumptions offered to government, especially from government appointed modelers, which were used to justify Covid policies. 

Neither has it seriously examined the social and economic costs of lockdown. 

It has also stuck to an agenda of UK exceptionalism failing to recognize the experience elsewhere in the world. 

Fourth, the format of the Inquiry is impeding investigation into the key scientific and policy questions. 

The Inquiry has adopted a legal format that prevents a systematic evaluation of the evidence by biomedical and social scientists on the harms of restrictions to the British public, 

the impact on Covid from policies such as mandatory NPIs, and the state of evidence for best practice. 

It is focused on who did or said what, rather than asking fundamental scientific questions. 

Yet investigating the interplay between harms, benefits, and best practice is critical to preparing for the next pandemic. 

The Inquiry, as currently functioning, appears unsuited to this task of national importance. 

Fifth, the Inquiry risks reducing public trust

in the impartiality and independence of government accountability and oversight. 

Its size and cost (by some estimates £300-500 million) will make it the largest public Inquiry ever undertaken to date, and yet its shortcomings, if not addressed, risk compromising the credibility of future public inquiries.
 
We believe the Inquiry has a significant and important mission and we would like to see it succeed. 

However, if it is to do so, these shortcomings need to be urgently addressed. 

The Inquiry must invite a much broader range of scientific experts with more critical viewpoints. 

It must also review the evidence on diverse topics so tha

      <description>Excess mortality in England post Covid-19 pandemic: implications for secondary prevention

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666776223002211?via%3Dihub

Many countries, including the UK, have continued to experience an apparent excess of deaths long after the peaks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. 

Numbers of excess deaths estimated in this period are considerable. 

The UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) has calculated that there were 7.2% or 44,255 more deaths registered in the UK in 2022 


OECD, UK

https://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?queryid=104676

Excess deaths in 2022, 52,514 (9.26%)

This persisted into 2023 with 8.6% or 28,024 more deaths registered in the first six months of the year than expected.

OECD, UK, weeks 1 – 44, 2023

Excess deaths, 49,389 (9.44%)

The causes of these excess deaths are likely to be multiple and could include the direct effects of Covid-19 infection,

acute pressures on NHS acute services resulting in poorer outcomes from episodes of acute illness,

and disruption to chronic disease detection and management.

Further analysis by cause and by age- and sex-group may help quantify the relative contributions of these causes.


Office for Health Improvement and Disparities

3rd June 2022 to 30th June 2023

Excess deaths for all causes were relatively greatest for 50–64 year olds (15% higher than expected)

11% higher for 25–49 and under 25 year olds,

and about 9% higher for over 65s

Several causes

3rd June 2022–30th June 2023

All cardiovascular diseases, 12%

Heart failure, 20%

Ischaemic heart disease, 15

Liver diseases, 19%

Acute respiratory infections, 14%

Diabetes, 13%
 
For middle-aged adults (50–64)

Cardiovascular diseases, 33% higher than expected

Ischaemic heart disease, 44%

Cerebrovascular disease, 40%

Heart failure 39% higher

Deaths involving acute respiratory infections, 43% higher

Diabetes, deaths were 35% higher

The pattern now is one of persisting excess deaths which are most prominent in relative terms in middle-aged and younger adults

Timely and granular analyses are needed to describe such trends and so to inform prevention and disease management efforts.

      <description>Covid deaths down 90% in 2022

https://www.who.int/director-general/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing---9-november-2022

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/media-resources/press-briefings

Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

9,400 covid linked deaths last week

Almost 90% less than in February of this year

(February 2022, 75,000 a week, globally)

We have come a long way, and this is definitely cause for optimism. 

But we continue to call on all governments, communities and individuals to remain vigilant

Almost 10,000 deaths a week is 10,000 too many for a disease that can be prevented and treated

WHO continues to urge caution, and we continue to urge everyone to be fully vaccinated – including getting your next dose if it’s due.

https://www.who.int/westernpacific/emergencies/covid-19/information/transmission-protective-measures
Get all the recommended doses of COVID-19 vaccine
Keep a safe distance from others, especially in closed spaces
When indoors, open windows if possible
Wear a mask if you’re or those around you are at high risk of severe illness
Keep hands clean
Cover coughs and sneezes
Stay home when feeling unwel

Maria Van Kerkhove

substantial underestimate of the true circulation of the virus

still a pandemic, and it’s still circulating quite rampantly around the world
China, moves towards reality

ONS release, 2nd November 2022

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/bulletins/populationandhouseholdestimatesenglandandwales/census2021unroundeddata

On Census Day, 21 March 2021, the size of the usual resident population in England and Wales was 59,597,542

56,490,048 in England and 3,107,494 in Wales

https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/patients-registered-at-a-gp-practice/november-2022

So

Five and a half more people registered with a GP than the total population

We also know there are millions in England not registered with a GP

      <description>Amid Growing Evidence of Conflicts of Interest and Obdurate Groupthink in Medical Journals, Researchers Must Entertain Contrarian Ideas

https://www.cureus.com/articles/336128-amid-growing-evidence-of-conflicts-of-interest-and-obdurate-groupthink-in-medical-journals-researchers-must-entertain-contrarian-ideas#!/

Mainstream medicine, like other academic fields, is shaped by prevailing paradigms and the dominant narratives they create. 

Over the past half-century, these paradigms have increasingly reflected the growing commercial influence of the pharmaceutical industry. 

Dominant narratives are closely tied to groupthink, to which medical journals are often subject. 

In addition, more “prestigious” medical journals tend to have further financial conflicts of interest with the pharmaceutical industry. 

These dynamics limit scientific progress by suppressing awareness of the iatrogenic aspects of industry products,

and the benefits of alternative non-patentable and unpatentable medical products and therapeutic interventions. 

Journals need to adopt a more open policy to manuscripts that encompass contrarian perspectives to dominant narratives while still adhering to time-tested scientific values and methods.

Thomas Kuhn (1962)
https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/S/bo13179781.html?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=transaction

Scientific endeavour is subject to “paradigms” that restrict what ideas are considered valid

Scientists and the peer-reviewed literature, influenced by groupthink processes as by dispassionate rationality. 

Science v “The Science”

Groupthink theories can be vociferously held and enforced with brutal censorship, e.g.

Nicolaus Copernicus (c, 1500)

Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis (c, 1860)

Dismissed due to conflicts of interest. 

Considered a misinformation merchant in his own time, he is now an icon of medical science, innovation, and courage.

During the past half-century, the profitability of large pharmaceutical companies has enabled them to dispense enormous financial investments into….

research, universities, medical education, medical journals, political parties, drug regulators, medical colleges and associations, and supranational institutions such as the World Health Organization. 

They can create the medical groupthink consensus.

Internal pharmaceutical industry documents released in litigation from criminal trials, 

where the industry has been fined $122 billion since 2000,

have revealed companies invest in shaping narratives to dominate a particular medical field in favour of their products, 

understating harms and overstating benefits.

Conflicts of interest now bedevil every level of pharmaceutical/medical science. 

Pharmaceutical companies tend to oversee the trials for their own products

Large pharmaceutical companies provide the majority of funding to the regulators tasked with considering the evidence of clinical trials and granting or denying licensure.

A few journal chief editors have stated that their publications are effectively part of Big Pharma’s marketing departments

and the benefits of alternative non-patentable and unpatentable medical products and therapeutic interventions. 

Journals need to adopt a more open policy to manuscripts that encompass contrarian perspectives to dominant narratives while still adhering to time-tested scientific values and methods.

Thomas Kuhn (1962)

Scientific endeavour is subject to “paradigms” that restrict what ideas are considered valid

Scientists and the peer-reviewed literature, influenced by groupthink processes as by dispassionate rationality. 

Science v “The Science”

Groupthink theories can be vociferously held and enforced with brutal censorship, e.g.

Nicolaus Copernicus (c, 1500)

Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis (c, 1860)

Dismissed due to conflicts of interest. 

Considered a misinformation merchant in his own time, he is now an icon of medical science, innovation, and courage.

During the past half-century, the profitability of large pharmaceutical companies has enabled them to dispense enormous financial investments into….

research, universities, medical education, medical journals, political parties, drug regulators, medical colleges and associations, and supranational institutions such as the World Health Organization. 

They can create the medical groupthink consensus.

Internal pharmaceutical industry documents released in litigation from criminal trials, 

where the industry has been fined $122 billion since 2000,

have revealed companies invest in shaping narratives to dominate a particular medical field in favour of their products, 

understating harms and overstating benefits.

Conflicts of interest now bedevil every level of pharmaceutical/medical science. 

Pharmaceutical companies tend to oversee the trials for their own products

Large pharmaceutical companies provide the majority of funding to the regulators tasked with considering the evidence of clinical trials and granting or denying licensure.

A few journal chief editors have stated that their publications are effectively part of Big Pharma’s marketing departments

Editors of major medical journals have received payments from large pharmaceutical companies

Peer reviewers have also received payments

      <title>Vaccine trial whistle blower </title>
      <description>Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial, 
Revelations of poor practices at a contract research company
https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2635

Pfizer’s pivotal covid-19 vaccine trial, 

raise questions about data integrity and regulatory oversight

This was the original paper

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2034577

 Autumn 2020

Pfizer’s chairman and chief executive, Albert Bourla

As I’ve said before, we are operating at the speed of science

Ventavia Research Group

https://www.ventaviaresearch.com

Researchers were testing Pfizer’s vaccine at several sites in Texas

A regional director, Brook Jackson has told The BMJ that the company

falsified data

unblinded patients

employed inadequately trained vaccinators

was slow to follow up on adverse events reported in Pfizer’s pivotal phase III trial

Staff who conducted quality control checks were overwhelmed by the volume of problems they were finding. 

US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were informed

Ventavia fired her later the same day. 

The BMJ has been provided with dozens of internal company documents, photos, audio recordings, and emails.

She repeatedly informed her superiors

poor laboratory management

patient safety concerns

data integrity issues

that drug assignment confirmation printouts were being left in participants’ charts, accessible to blinded personnel (later corrected)

company wasn’t able to quantify the types and number of errors they were finding when examining the trial paperwork for quality control

ICON, the contract research organisation

https://www.iconplc.com/services/clinical-research-services/data-management/?creative=528047015643&amp;keyword=small%20clinical%20research%20organizations&amp;matchtype=b&amp;network=g&amp;device=c&amp;campaignid=6471798703&amp;adgroupid=124362508020&amp;feeditemid=54055202224&amp;adposition=&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwz5iMBhAEEiwAMEAwGB-tlgJ18Rir0V_YfW6YdQNvt33JmuRwwwZiAkL22Zh99BWJbYLb2xoCWKUQAvD_BwE

ICON then highlighted over 100 outstanding queries older than three days

Worries over FDA inspection

Concerns raised

Participants placed in a hallway after injection and not being monitored by clinical staff

Lack of timely follow-up of patients who experienced adverse events

Protocol deviations not being reported

Vaccines not being stored at proper temperatures

Mislabelled laboratory specimens

Targeting of Ventavia staff for reporting these types of problems.

FDA advisory committee meeting held on 10 December 2020

Problems at Ventavia not mentioned

The next day the FDA issued the authorisation of the vaccine
 
In August this year, after full FDA approval of Pfizer’s vaccine

FDA published that 9 of the trials 153 sites were inspected

FDA, full trial swabs were not taken from 477 people with suspected cases of symptomatic covid-19

Other employees’ accounts

everything that you complained about was spot on

Two former Ventavia employees spoke to The BMJ anonymously for fear of reprisal and loss of job prospects in the tightly knit research community

I don’t think it was good clean data

It’s a crazy mess

Pfizer has hired Ventavia as a research subcontractor on four other vaccine clinical trials

covid-19 vaccine in children and young adults

pregnant women

a booster dose

an RSV vaccine trial

NCT04816643,  NCT04754594,  NCT04955626,  NCT05035212).

      <description>Stanley Milgram’s original publication

https://theunconsciouscurriculum.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/milgram-original-paper.pdf

https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fh0040525

18 studies, 1961 to 1963

Wide range of participants, $4.50 (turn up fee, no conditions)

Yale University

Victim was a 47year old accountant.

Predicted compliance was 0 to 3% (1.2%)

Actual number was 65%

Later work

Six degrees of separation

Correlation between watching TV and anti-social behaviour

Learning from Milgram

Only bad people do bad things

No, ordinary people can do bad things in the wrong context

We rationalise and diffuse responsibility

It’s not my fault, it’s that guy who gave me the orders, anyway, I’m just a small cog in a big machine I can’t control.

Beware of gradual escalation

That small compromise can lead on to the next slightly bigger compromise. Do not give moral compromise a ‘foot in the door’.

(Milgram’s machine had 30 graduations of shock, started at a mere 15 volts).

Okay, you don’t want to do that, well just do this little bit…

Well, you did that little bit last week, what’s the problem now?

Make no mistake, conscience can be blunted.

People carried on despite personal distress

The procedure created extreme levels of nervous tension in some …

A degree of empathy was possible, but overridden by conformity, (all had been given a 45 Volt demo shock)

Pressure of a situation

Do not let the pressure of people or a situation override your moral stance. Use your rational intellect to avoid confusion generated by others.

Authority can be wrong

An establishment that was once good can go bad. The power of an institution or state can be weaponised against the individual.

No matter how apparently credible the source it can be wrong. Academics, doctors, researchers can all be wrong.

Some academics, doctors, researchers can be bought.

Obedience to authority can override personal morality.

Feel free to appeal to absolute authority.

Do to others as you would have them do to you (Luke 6, 31)

The four standard prods

How many times have you heard these?

Sometimes our orders are explicit, other times much more covert

That which sound credible is often not

Milgram’s subjects were given apparently authoritative information on the relationship between learning and punishment, 

We should challenge apparent axioms

Well, someone has to do it … You are just passing on the dirty job to the next guy, where is your consideration?

What’s your field?

Military, justice system, education, corpriate, healthcare?

‘The point of rupture is the act of disobedience’.

Look around, talk around, you will find your ethical prospective is not a currently unacceptable minority or hateful position. Many of us ordinary people share your morality.

Classification of subjects

‘Defiant subjects’, refused after 12 shocks

‘Obedient subjects’, administered all shock levels commanded.

Milgram’s subjects received a dehoax

      <title>UK Omicron emergency confirmed</title>
      <description>Omicron emergency

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59631570

No one should be in any doubt, there is a tidal wave of Omicron coming

It is now clear that two doses of vaccine are simply not enough to give the level of protection we all need. 

But the good news is that our scientists are confident that with a third dose, a booster dose, we can all bring our level of protection back up

At this point our scientists cannot say that Omicron is less severe

a wave of Omicron through a population that was not boosted would risk a level of hospitalisation that could overwhelm our NHS and lead sadly to very many deaths

Aged 18 and over, in England, third jabs from this week
Three months since second dose

A third booster dose prevents around 75% of people getting any Covid symptoms from Omicron

Live data, hospital patients who have tested positive

https://www.nicd.ac.za/diseases-a-z-index/disease-index-covid-19/surveillance-reports/daily-hospital-surveillance-datcov-report/

Omicron cases have now been found in hospital

Nadhim Zahawi

Warned of the danger of tens of thousands of hospitalisations,

even if omicron were to prove half as severe as delta

SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation in England 

Technical briefing 31 

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1040076/Technical_Briefing_31.pdf

Data cut off, 6 December

260 confirmed cases of Omicron VOC-21NOV-01 (B.1.1.529), 

Identified through sequencing or genotyping in England. 

Additional possible cases identified through S gene target failure

Higher risk of transmission from secondary attack rates

Risk of household transmission from an Omicron index case compared to a Delta index case 3.2 

Risk of a close contact becoming a secondary case, adjusted odds ratio 2.09

Household secondary attack

Omicron, 21.6%

Delta, 10.7% 

Three to eight-fold increased risk of reinfection with the Omicron variant. 

A 20 to 40-fold reduction in neutralising activity by Pfizer 2-dose vaccinee sera for Omicron

At least 10 fold loss of activity when compared to Delta

Greater reduction in activity was seen for AZ 2- dose sera

An mRNA booster dose resulted in an increase in neutralising activity irrespective of primary vaccination type

Data are urgently required on the durability of neutralising activity 

A moderate to high vaccine effectiveness of 70 to 75% is seen in the early period after a booster dose. 

With previous variants, vaccine effectiveness against severe disease, has been higher than effectiveness against mild disease
 
Lateral flow, similar sensitivity to detect Omicron compared to Delta

Modelling the potential consequences of the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant in England

Growth rate of the Omicron variant

Level of immune escape

Intrinsic transmissibility

Immune escape of Omicron

5.1-fold to 12.8-fold reduction in neutralisation relative to Delta

Intrinsic transmissibility

Omicron variant is growing in England at an exponential growth rate of r = 0.29 per day

This corresponds to a 2.4-day doubling time

Reproduction number Rt = 4.0

Generation interval of 5.5 days

Surge in SARS-CoV-2 transmission beginning in late December 2021

Infections exceeding peak levels recorded during the January 2021 wave in England

The most optimistic scenario, 1 December to 30 April in England

Omicron has low immune escape and booster jabs are highly effective

20.9 million infections

175,000 hospital admissions

24,700 deaths

Most pessimistic scenario, 1 December and 30 April in England

34.2 million infections

492,000 hospital admissions

74,900 deaths

Conclusions and discussion 
Without the implementation of further control measures,

Apologies and correction.

In this video I wrongly say the scabies mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) are insects, they are not and are correctly classified as Arachnida. This is because the adult mites have 8 legs, so are in the same group as spiders. Insects of course have 6 legs.

They are 0.2 to 0.45 mm in size, not 10 times bigger as I said, always important to put the decimal point in the correct place.

I hope to resume normal service in the next video.

Implications of the Office for National Statistics estimates of Covid-19 vaccine take up in England on the representativeness of its sample population

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/364310694_Implications_of_the_Office_for_National_Statistics_estimates_of_Covid-19_vaccine_take_up_in_England_on_the_representativeness_of_its_sample_population?channel=doi&amp;linkId=63459d419cb4fe44f31d90fd&amp;showFulltext=true

Is it important to collect quantitively data to learn about a population group?

Why do we need a representative sample of a population to collect valid data for the population as a whole?

Can you give an example of how a representative sample of a population should be selected?

Which sample is used by the ONS to generate their estimates of covid vaccine take up?

Is this then a skewed sample?

Given that to be included an individual had to have been in the 2011 census and must currently be registered with a GP, how many people are missed out?

Of these 8 million people that are missed out from the ONS data, what proportion of these are unvaccinated?

Are there any other estimates of the proportion of the population vaccinated for comparative purposes?

Does this mean that the sample is not as representative as would be ideal?

If the sample is not representative, how does this effect the validity of their data and hence their conclusions?

      <title>Prevalence remains high </title>
      <description>UK, high prevalence maintained

https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/covid-not-showing-signs-of-dropping

End of September

Based on 39,742 recent swab tests, between 11th and 25th 
September 2021

58,126 new daily symptomatic cases

Based on PCR and LFT test data

In the fully vaccinated population, 14,352 new daily symptomatic cases

Overall UK Prevalence

On average 1 in 93 people in the UK have symptomatic COVID

Increase mostly in under 19s

Uptick in the number of active cases in people aged 20-50

Cases remain low and stable in contributors over the age of 50

UK R around 1.1

England, 1.1

Wales, 1.1 (currently increasing)

Scotland, 1.0

ZOE’s predicted Long COVID incidence rate

804 people a day will go on to experience symptoms for longer than 12 weeks

Professor Tim Spector

We’re seeing infections being passed up the generational ladder, likely from school children to their parents. 

Most of these new adult infections are in the under 50s, who still have a relatively low risk of being admitted to hospital, especially if they’ve been fully vaccinated.

As the winter approaches, it’s important parents of school-aged children and students don’t pass the virus on to more vulnerable grandparents by not recognising simple cold-like symptoms as a possible COVID infection. 

This is a critical time and a little caution could make all the difference in avoiding a winter crisis for hospitals.

      <description>Excess deaths AND long-term sickness dramatically increased in the UK

New Hope Children's Centre

This is a great organisation I have been involved with for 12 years now. I fully attest to the veracity and dedication of all the staff I have met. The founder is Anne Chege, who my brother and I know well. Anne worked with Barclays Bank for 28 years, looking after orphans and abandoned children within her own home. On retirement she opened this centre and has dedicated her life to the work.

      <title>Pandemic failures </title>
      <description>The Lancet Commission on lessons for the future from the 
COVID-19 pandemic 

14th September 2022

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)01585-9/fulltext

https://covid19commission.org

WHO response

WHO acted too cautiously and too slowly

Several important matters

To warn about human transmissibility of the virus

To declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern

To support international travel protocols designed to slow the spread of the virus

(This delay contributed to the spread of the virus and limited the possibilities for risk mitigation.)

To endorse the public use of face masks as protective gear

To recognise the airborne transmission of the virus.

(These delayed and vague recommendations from WHO continued until late April, 2021.) 

Just 1 example, after receiving an open letter

From 238 scientists in July, 2020,

asking the organisation to address airborne transmission

WHO did not change until April 30, 2021.

Multiple failures of international cooperation

Too many governments have failed to adhere to basic norms of institutional rationality and transparency, 

and the world's major powers have failed to collaborate to control the pandemic.

Specific points

Lack of timely notification of the initial outbreak of COVID-19

Costly delays in acknowledging the crucial airborne exposure pathway of SARS-CoV-2, 

and in implementing appropriate measures at national and global levels to slow the spread of the virus.

Lack of coordination among countries regarding suppression strategies

Failure of governments to examine evidence and adopt best practices for controlling the pandemic,

and managing economic and social spillovers

Shortfall of global funding for low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs)

Failure to ensure adequate global supplies and equitable distribution of key commodities,

protective gear, diagnostics, medicines, medical devices, and vaccines

Lack of timely, accurate, systematic data

Infections, deaths, viral variants, health system responses, and indirect health consequences

Again the report raised lab leak possibility

Poor enforcement of appropriate levels of biosafety regulations in the lead-up to the pandemic, 

raising the possibility of a laboratory-related outbreak

Failure to combat systematic disinformation

Lack of global and national safety nets to protect populations experiencing vulnerability.

As of May 31, 2022

There were 6·9 million reported deaths and 17·2 million estimated deaths from COVID-19

Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation

https://covid19.healthdata.org/global?view=cumulative-deaths&amp;tab=trend

This staggering death toll is both a profound tragedy and a massive global failure at multiple levels. 

Sustainable development process

Set back by several years, 

Deep underfinancing, Sustainable Development Goals and,

aims of the Paris Climate Agreement.

UK faces a huge spike in omicron infections

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/covid-news-vaccine-booster-jab-restrictions-latest-cases-figures/

Mr Javid

https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/health-and-social-care-secretary-oral-statement-on-covid-19

No variant of COVID-19 has spread this fast

4,713 confirmed cases of Omicron in the UK

UK Health Security Agency, cases of omicron, + 200,000 per day

Over 20% percent of cases in England

London, 44%

10 confirmed hospitalised in England with Omicron

Hospitalisations and deaths lag infections by around two weeks,

dramatically increase in the days and weeks that lie ahead

NHS England, return to its highest level of emergency preparedness: Level 4 National Incident.

Third dose is 70% percent effective at preventing symptomatic infection

COVID, should wait 28 days from their positive result to get their booster

Fully vaccinated contacts of a COVID-19 case will now be able to take daily lateral flow tests instead of self-isolating

Dr Susan Hopkins, UK Health Security Agency

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/14/uk-omicron-infections-one-million-a-day-end-december-covid-christmas

This is growing very fast with a growth rate of initially two to three days, 

and that growth rate seems to be shortening rather than lengthening

we are going to have a very difficult four weeks ahead

Risk of infection, omicron variant, eight times higher than the delta

Million cases per day by end of December

Professor Graham Medley, infectious disease modelling, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
The number of infections means that even though individually we are at less risk, at population level, the number of people ending up in hospital could get very large

Amanda Pritchard, NHS England chief executive, Stephen Powis, NHS Improvement chief executive

Patients medically fit to be sent home

Managing oxygen supplies

Increasing critical care capacity

Football

Manchester United cancelled game

Premier league, 42 players positive

Professor Chris Whitty
Every adult needs to get a booster jab in the face of the highly infectious variant
Boosters give you the best possible protection against the virus and should significantly reduce your risk of serious illness and hospitalisation

      <title>Vitamin D, Safe and Reliable</title>
      <description>Association between vitamin D supplementation and COVID-19 infection and mortality

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24053-4

(12th November 2022)

National Bureau of Economic Research
Department of Medicine, University of Chicago

Department of Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago

Vitamin D deficiency, associated with reduced immune function,

can lead to viral infection

Vitamin D deficiency, associated, increases the risk of COVID-19

But is it a treatment / prognosis improver?

Population of US veterans, we show that Vitamin D2 and D3 fills

Associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection

After applying all restrictions

220,265 supplemented with vitamin D3

34,710 supplemented with vitamin D2

407,860 untreated patients.

Study design

Retrospective cohort

Supplemented (before and during the pandemic),

versus untreated controls

One to one matches

D2, D3, or calcifediol

Veterans Administration Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) electronic health records. 

Vitamin D levels typically respond to treatment following two months of exposure

D3 cohort

COVID-19 rates for the treated = 2.66%

COVID-19 rates for the untreated = 3.30%

D3 20%, reduction

D2 28% reduction

Mortality within 30-days of COVID-19 infection

Infection ending in mortality within 30 days

D3 group

Treated group death rate after infection = 0.23%

Untreated group death rate after infection = 0.35%

Vitamin D3 33% mortality lower (HR, 67%)

P  less than  0.001

Vitamin D2  25% lower (HR, 75%) (but not significant)

Veterans receiving higher dosages of Vitamin D obtained greater benefits from supplementation than veterans receiving lower dosages. 

Vitamin D blood levels between 0 and 19 ng/ml,

exhibited the largest decrease in COVID-19 infection and mortality following supplementation

(0–19 ng/ml, 20–39 ng/ml, and 40 + ng/ml)

Dosage options, 20 IU, 40 IU, 100 IU, 125 IU, 200 IU, 250 IU, 400 IU, 500 IU, 800 IU, 1000 IU, 2000 IU, 5000 IU, 8000 IU, and 50,000 IU

Black veterans received greater associated COVID-19 risk reductions, with supplementation than White veterans

As a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment, Vitamin D may help to reduce the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.

More background

Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency affect approximately half of the US population, 

with increased rates in people with darker skin, 

reduced sun exposure, 

people living in higher latitudes in the winter, 

nursing home residents, 

and healthcare workers

Populations with low levels of Vitamin D have also experienced higher rates of COVID-19

New mechanism

Vitamin D is needed to allow T helper cells to control and reduce Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) production

Conclusions

These associated reductions in risk are substantial and justify more significant exploration and confirmation using RCTs. 

This is particularly important given the high rates of vitamin D deficiency in the US population and COVID-19.

Extrapolate, D3 supplementation to the entire US population in 2020

4 million fewer COVID-19 cases (19,860,000 actual cases)

116,000 deaths avoided (351,999 actual deaths)

Given our findings, 

the absence of severe side effects, 

the widespread availability of vitamin D3 at low cost, 
 
vitamin D3 presents a unique opportunity to reduce the spread and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.

K2, MK-7

Supplement, probably 100 micrograms per day

Nato, 1,000 micrograms per 100 g

Cheese, typically 50 micrograms per 100 g

Safe and effective

UK, GP incentives to vaccinate

Home, £30

Standard reimbursement to Primary Care Networks (which then gets passed to GPs) £15 

New contract, £12.58 each

D3 cohort

COVID-19 rates for the treated = 2.66%

COVID-19 rates for the untreated = 3.30%

D3 20%, reduction

D2 28% reduction

Mortality within 30-days of COVID-19 infection

Infection ending in mortality within 30 days

D3 group

Treated group death rate after infection = 0.23%

Untreated group death rate after infection = 0.35%

Vitamin D3 33% mortality lower (HR, 67%)

P  less than  0.001

Vitamin D2  25% lower (HR, 75%) (but not significant)

Veterans receiving higher dosages of Vitamin D obtained greater benefits from supplementation than veterans receiving lower dosages. 

Vitamin D blood levels between 0 and 19 ng/ml,

exhibited the largest decrease in COVID-19 infection and mortality following supplementation

(0–19 ng/ml, 20–39 ng/ml, and 40 + ng/ml)

Dosage options, 20 IU, 40 IU, 100 IU, 125 IU, 200 IU, 250 IU, 400 IU, 500 IU, 800 IU, 1000 IU, 2000 IU, 5000 IU, 8000 IU, and 50,000 IU

Black veterans received greater associated COVID-19 risk reductions, with supplementation than White veterans

As a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment, Vitamin D may help to reduce the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.

More background

Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency affect approximately half of the US population, 

with increased rates in people with darker skin, 

reduced sun exposure, 

people living in higher latitudes in the winter, 

nursing home residents, 

and healthcare workers

Populations with low levels of Vitamin D have also experienced higher rates of COVID-19

New mechanism

Vitamin D is needed to allow T helper cells to control and reduce Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) production

Conclusions

These associated reductions in risk are substantial and justify more significant exploration and confirmation using RCTs. 

This is particularly important given the high rates of vitamin D deficiency in the US population and COVID-19.

Extrapolate, D3 supplementation to the entire US population in 2020

4 million fewer COVID-19 cases (19,860,000 actual cases)

116,000 deaths avoided (351,999 actual deaths)

Given our findings, 

the absence of severe side effects, 

the widespread availability of vitamin D3 at low cost, 
 
vitamin D3 presents a unique opportunity to reduce the spread and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vitamin D deficiency, associated with reduced immune function,

can lead to viral infection

Vitamin D deficiency, associated, increases the risk of COVID-19

But is it a treatment / prognosis improver?

Population of US veterans, we show that Vitamin D2 and D3 fills

Associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection

After applying all restrictions

220,265 supplemented with vitamin D3

34,710 supplemented with vitamin D2

407,860 untreated patients.

Retrospective cohort

Supplemented (before and during the pandemic),

versus untreated controls

South Africa, omicron situation and trends

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4EwCFqiJag

Cases, + 26,976

Will increase for the next few weeks

Positivity, 32.2%

Deaths, + 54

Professor Shabir Madhi

Gauteng 

Cases probably peaked

More transmissibility 

Combined with more population prior immunity

Three to four weeks, down from 8 weeks in previous waves

Uncoupling of cases severe disease and death rate

Delta

20,000 reported cases per day resulted in with 250 to 300 deaths 

Omicron

Deaths 10 times less

Omicron not less virulent

But more community immunity

Antibodies and T cells

Omicron is antibody evasive

T cytotoxic immunity is relatively well conserved

This is what is causing the uncoupling

T cells come from infection and vaccination

Gauteng, serum survey 73% have been infected by the virus, this has led to a lot of T cell immunity

Both will protect against severe disease

Data from the first three weeks of the Omicron-driven wave in South Africa

Data, spanning clinical records, vaccination records, pathology test results

3.7 million people

Omicron: A highly transmissible variant causing rapid community spread

The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2

Fuelling South Africa’s fourth wave

Genomic Surveillance, Omicron over 90% of new infections

Has displaced Delta variant

The Omicron-driven fourth wave has a significantly steeper trajectory of new infections relative to prior waves. 

National data show an exponential increase in both new infections and test positivity rates


Vaccine effectiveness during the current Omicron wave

SAMRC, n= 211,000 positive tests

41% from adult members who had received two doses of the Pfizer

78,000 of these COVID-19 test results were attributed to Omicron infections

To-date laboratory analysis has provided early insights into potential reduction in the effect of neutralising antibodies against the Omicron variant

Two doses of the Pfizer

Two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination provides significant protection against hospitalisation in individuals with Omicron variant infection 

33% protection against infection, relative to the unvaccinated

(down from 80% protection against infection)

70% protection against hospital admission

(down from 93% with delta)

Protection against hospital admission is maintained across all ages

Protection against admission is consistent across a range of chronic illnesses

Diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, cardiovascular diseases

Reinfection risk

Omicron reinfection risk significantly higher compared to prior variants

Overall, the risk of re-infection (following prior infection) has increased over time
Infected with Delta, a 40% relative risk of reinfection with Omicron

Infected with Beta, a 60% relative risk of reinfection with Omicron

Infected in first wave, a 73% risk of reinfection

Risk of severe disease and hospitalisation significantly lower in Omicron infection compared to prior variants

This lesser severity could, however, be confounded by the high seroprevalence levels of SARS CoV-2 antibodies in the general South African population

Risk of hospital admission among adults diagnosed with omicron is 29% lower

Hospitalised adults, lower propensity to be admitted to high-care and intensive-care units, relative to prior waves

Preliminary observations on Omicron experience in children

Under 18 have a 20% higher risk of admission when infected with Omicron

Also increase in admissions for children under five

Many are incidentally discovered in hospital

Children were 51% less likely to test positive for COVID-19 relative to adults in the Omicron period

Where children require admission for complications of COVID-19

Bronchiolitis

Pneumonia

Part 22

We recognize that the extensive COVID-19 immunization is a global public good

Section 23

We recognize the need for strengthening local and regional health product manufacturing capacities

We support the WHO mRNA Vaccine Technology Transfer hub

We acknowledge the importance of shared technical standards and verification methods, 
to facilitate seamless international travel, 

interoperability, and recognizing digital solutions and non-digital solutions, 

including proof of vaccinations. 

Establishment of trusted global digital health networks,

that should capitalize and build on the success of the existing standards and digital COVID-19 certificates. 

Part 24

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation of the digital ecosystem and digital economy. 

We recognize the importance of digital transformation in reaching the SDGs. 

We also reaffirm the role of data for development, economic growth and social well-being.

From a doctor in Austria

It is currently a very emotional situation in my hospital 

(and in general in hospitals in Austria) 

because many of us in the health care sector are more or less forced to get a fourth vaccine dose. 

Even in my case as a physician who has received three doses and one infection just 6 months ago. 

The rule is that if the last vaccination is more than one year and/or the last infection is more than 6 months ago you either have to test all 72 hours or to get an additional vaccine dose; 

if not you are at risk of having to pay 500 to 3600 Euros and may even get fired.

Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum (WEF) Chair

Attended

From a doctor in Austria

It is currently a very emotional situation in my hospital 

(and in general in hospitals in Austria) 

because many of us in the health care sector are more or less forced to get a fourth vaccine dose. 

Even in my case as a physician who has received three doses and one infection just 6 months ago. 

The rule is that if the last vaccination is more than one year and/or the last infection is more than 6 months ago you either have to test all 72 hours or to get an additional vaccine dose; 

if not you are at risk of having to pay 500 to 3600 Euros and may even get fired.

Dr Angelique Coetzee, South African Medical Association

First to raise alarm about the new omicron

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr-v-bT8X38

a storm in a teacup

Why everyone up in arms

So far, what we have seen is very mild cases

17 to 18 November, noticed a change in clinical picture

After 10 week of low numbers

For not its extremely mild cases that we are seeing

Looking at the mildness of these symptoms, I think it’s been missed in other countries

Severely mild, headache

What is different is the extreme tiredness

Body aches

Mostly men under 40s

I really think the vaccine plays a role here, breakthrough infections, but very very mild

You can call all of the hospitals in Pretoria you will see there is not a huge influx of patients with this omicron

If Africa is not going to be vaccinated you will see new variants coming up

Rudo Mathivha, head of the intensive care unit at Soweto’s Baragwanath hospital

We’re seeing a marked change in the demographic profile of patients with Covid-19

Young people, in their 20s to just over their late 30s, are coming in with moderate to severe disease, 

some needing intensive care.
 
About 65% are not vaccinated and most of the rest are only half-vaccinated

I’m worried that as the numbers go up, the public health care facilities will become overwhelmed

Urgent preparations are needed to enable public hospitals to cope with a potential large influx of patients needing intensive care

Omicron variant may be responsible for as many as 90% of the new SA cases

24% fully vaccinated

Omicron variant

50 mutations overall

32 on spike protein

10 on RBD (delta has 2 RBD mutations)

Presumed high viral load

Time for vaccinations and boosters

More African countries added

Red list, 10-day hotel quarantine

PCR test by 2nd day in the country, isolate until then

All contacts of a detected case of omicron to self-isolate, regardless of vaccination status

Increase face coverings in public

Vaccines will give protection, boosters will help

Boost the booster campaign

      <description>Professor Angus Dalgleish, mRNA Vaccines Must Be Banned Once and For All

https://dailysceptic.org/2023/10/01/mrna-vaccines-must-be-banned-once-and-for-all/

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/mrna-vaccines-must-be-banned-once-and-for-all/

At the end of last year I reported that I was seeing melanoma patients who had been stable for years relapse after their first booster (their third injection). 

The number of my patients affected has been rising ever since.

Other oncologists have contacted me from all over the world including from Australia and the U.S. 

After boosters

The consensus is that it is no longer confined to melanoma but that increased incidence of:

After boosters

Lymphomas, a cancer of the lymphatic system

Leukaemias, a group of cancers that affect the blood

Kidney cancers

My colorectal cancer colleagues report an epidemic of explosive cancers (those presenting with multiple metastatic spread in the liver and elsewhere). 

Those of us who knew from the beginning that the sequence of SARS-CoV-2 contained inserts which could not have possibly occurred naturally, and were similar to ones that had already been published from the Wuhan laboratory

The ‘vaccine’ did not stay at the site of injection as promised

Batch-to-batch variability

These alarming concerns seem to have been brushed off by the regulators when they should have immediately begun investigating them in depth.

Yellow Card and U.S. VAERS adverse event reports to be nothing to be worried about.

DNA contamination

So why are these cancers occurring?

T cell suppression was my first likely explanation.

However we must also now consider DNA plasmid and SV40 integration in promoting cancer development, 

Reports that mRNA spike protein binds p53 and other cancer suppressor genes. 

To advise booster vaccines, as is the current case, is no more and no less than medical incompetence.

No ifs or buts any longer. All mRNA vaccines must be halted and banned now.

JAMA Pediatrics

(September 26, 2022)

Initial messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine clinical trials excluded several vulnerable groups, 

young children and lactating individuals

Current FDA website, re children over 6 months

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-moderna-and-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-vaccines-children

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine,

and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine,

for the prevention of COVID-19 to include use in children down to 6 months of age. 
From the JAMA paper

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/pregnancy.html

COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for all people 6 months and older. This includes people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant now, or might become pregnant in the future. 

Back to the JAMA study

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends offering the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines to breastfeeding individuals

although the possible passage of vaccine mRNAs in breast milk resulting in infants’ exposure at younger than 6 months was not investigated. 

This study investigated whether the COVID-19 vaccine mRNA can be detected in the expressed breast milk (EBM) of lactating individuals

receiving the vaccination within 6 months after delivery.

N =11

Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine (n = 5)

Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccine (n = 6)

Samples of EBM were collected before vaccination (control),

and for 5 days postvaccination. 

131 EBM samples were collected

(1 hour to 5 days after vaccine administration)

The presence of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA in different milk fractions

assayed using 2-step quantitative reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction. 

Results

Trace amounts of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were detected in 7 samples from 5 different participants,

at various times up to 45 hours postvaccination

No vaccine mRNA was detected in prevaccination

Discussion

The sporadic presence and trace quantities of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA detected in EBM suggest that breastfeeding after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination is safe,

particularly beyond 48 hours after vaccination. 

These data demonstrate for the first time the biodistribution of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA to mammary cells,

and the potential ability of tissue EVs to package the vaccine mRNA that can be transported to distant cells. 

In rats

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0168365915300535?via%3Dihub

Up to 3 days following intramuscular administration, 

low vaccine mRNA levels were detected in the heart, lung, testis, and brain tissues, indicating tissue biodistribution

Vaccine administration ---- lipid nanoparticles containing the vaccine mRNA ----- mammary glands (hematogenous and/or lymphatic routes)

Vaccine mRNA released into mammary cell cytosol ---- recruited into developing EVs ------ secreted in EBM

Caution is warranted about breastfeeding children younger than 6 months in the first 48 hours after maternal vaccination until more safety studies are conducted.

Reduced socialisation will slow spread down

If it kept on this doubling every two days, you get to 11 million on Christmas Day,

and the entire country on New Year's Eve

Now, this is not sensible

I taught bespoke health care as a fundamental principle for decades.

Does natural and hybrid immunity obviate the need for frequent vaccine boosters against SARS-CoV-2 in the endemic phase?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36366946/

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/eci.13906

Stefan Pilz   John PA Ioannidis 

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has entered its endemic phase

We observe significantly declining infection fatality rates due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). 

Now

It is crucial but challenging to define current and future vaccine policy,

in a population with a high immunity against SARS-CoV-2,

conferred by previous infections and/or vaccinations. 

Vaccine policy must consider the magnitude of the risks conferred by new infection(s),

with current and evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants, 

how these risks vary in different groups of individuals, 

how to balance these risks against the apparently small, but existent, risks of harms of vaccination, 
and the cost-benefit of different options. 

More evidence from randomized controlled trials,

and continuously accumulating national health data is required,

to inform shared decision-making with people who consider vaccination options. 

Vaccine policy makers should cautiously weight what vaccination schedules are needed, 

and refrain from urging frequent vaccine boosters unless supported by sufficient evidence.

The key issue

Whether and how to consider natural immunity after SARS-CoV-2 infections, and hybrid immunity

It is very likely that the large majority of the global population has been infected with SARS-CoV-2,

at least once by late 2022

(Excluding China)

Risk of reinfection and disease after SARS-CoV-2 primary infection: Meta-analysis

91 studies, n = 15,034,624

Infections n = 158,478 reinfections

During the first 3 months of Omicron wave, 

the reinfection rates reached 3.31%. 

Overall rates of severe/lethal COVID-19 were very low,

(2-7 per 10,000),

and were not affected by strain predominance.

Conclusions

A strong natural immunity follows the primary infection and may last for more than one year, 

suggesting that the risk and health care needs of recovered subjects might be limited. 

Although the reinfection rates considerably increased during the Omicron wave, 

the risk of a secondary severe or lethal disease remained very low. 

The risk-benefit profile of multiple vaccine doses for this subset of population needs to be carefully evaluated.

Back to Pilz, PA loannidis paper

Compared to vaccination by two doses, 

natural immunity was associated with a significantly higher protection against SARS-CoV-2 infections before the emergence of Omicron, 

when identical times have elapsed since the last immune conferring event.

Does natural and hybrid immunity obviate the need for frequent vaccine boosters against SARS-CoV-2 in the endemic phase?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36366946/

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/eci.13906

Stefan Pilz   John PA Ioannidis 

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has entered its endemic phase

We observe significantly declining infection fatality rates due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). 

Now

It is crucial but challenging to define current and future vaccine policy,

in a population with a high immunity against SARS-CoV-2,

conferred by previous infections and/or vaccinations. 

Vaccine policy must consider the magnitude of the risks conferred by new infection(s),

with current and evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants, 

how these risks vary in different groups of individuals, 

how to balance these risks against the apparently small, but existent, risks of harms of vaccination, 
and the cost-benefit of different options. 

More evidence from randomized controlled trials,

and continuously accumulating national health data is required,

to inform shared decision-making with people who consider vaccination options. 

Vaccine policy makers should cautiously weight what vaccination schedules are needed, 

and refrain from urging frequent vaccine boosters unless supported by sufficient evidence.

The key issue

Whether and how to consider natural immunity after SARS-CoV-2 infections, and hybrid immunity

It is very likely that the large majority of the global population has been infected with SARS-CoV-2,

at least once by late 2022

(Excluding China)

People who have never been infected have probably become a rarity.

      <title>Big pharma and covid vaccines, Illusion of knowledge, </title>
      <description>With Dr. Aseem Malhotra, Links to article

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/13/aseem-malhotra-interview/
https://doctoraseem.com/its-time-for-the-medical-establishment-to-admit-they-made-a-terrible-mistake/

Ancient wisdom teaches us that evil is rooted in ignorance but as Steven Hawking alluded to, the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge. 

In other words the greatest barrier to the truth is psychological, not intellectual. Two of those major psychological barriers have become most prevalent at an individual, population and institutional level over the past 5 years since the world was turned upside down at the start of the covid pandemic. The first of these which we can all relate to is the emotional phenomenon of fear. Then in a state of fear it impedes one’s ability to engage in critical thinking and simultaneously makes us more compliant to authoritarian rule. 

For example leaked WhatsApp messages (published on the front page of the Daily Telegraph) revealed as regards to covid the Secretary of State’s plan was to “ frighten the pants off the public”. Such tactics replicated by government bodies around the world amplified by the media grossly exaggerated covid risk in the minds of the public. 

For example 30-50% of American’s when surveyed believed their risk of being hospitalised with covid was 50%, when the actual risk was much below 1% even during the worst strain. Cutting through all the noise research from the most cited medical researcher in the world ( someone I describe as the Stephen Hawking of medicine) Professor John Ioannidis revealed that by the end of 2020 in under 70’s the infection fatality rate was 0.05%, in other words 1 in 2000, less than the overall infection fatality rate than the flu at 1 in 1000. 

As the director of health literacy at the Max Planc institute in Berlin, Gerd Gigerenzer has previously stated “ without understanding the numbers involved the public are vulnerable to exploitation of their hopes and fears by political and commercial interests”.

The second psychological barrier to the truth which we are all potentially susceptible to is one of wilful blindness. This is when human beings turn a blind eye to the truth in order to feel safe, avoid conflict, reduce anxiety and to protect prestige and fragile egos. Examples of this on an individual level can be turning a blind eye to the affair of your partner. On an institutional level historical examples include the BBC and Jimmy Saville, Hollywood and Harvey Weinstein, and the Catholic Church and child molestation. 

Why do I mention this? Because it is in my view these psychological barriers ( which I also temporarily suffered from)  that are hindering policy makers, journalists and influential sections of the medical establishment to acknowledge the greatest medical mistake with ongoing catastrophic harm to public health that we will likely witness in our lifetime. 

Yes, I’m talking about the covid mRNA vaccine which in reality is more accurately a prophylactic gene therapy. As someone who took two doses and supported its use for high risk and the elderly on Good Morning Britain in February 2021 my revelation came the hard way. On the 26th of July 2021, my father, Dr Kailash Chand Malhotra OBE,  retired GP and honorary vice president of the British Medical Association, a very fit and healthy man in comparison to his 73 year old peers suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.

Subsequent post mortem confirmed severe coronary artery disease that had significantly accelerated within a few years of having relatively mild disease. As an expert in coronary artery disease and its progression, this didn’t make any sense to me and I even remember angrily blocking someone on twitter who suggested this was because of the covid vaccin

Moderna and Johnson &amp; Johnson can now have boosters

Rochelle Walensky

Choose any of the three boosters now authorized, regardless of original shot

The evidence shows that all three COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States are safe,

as demonstrated by the over 400 million vaccine doses already given

And, they are all highly effective in reducing the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even in the midst of the widely circulating delta variant

FDA, did not recommend any particular combination of vaccines and boosters

to switch or to stick

CDC, still working it out

Advisory panel member Pablo J. Sanchez, pediatrician, Ohio State

I agree that those who received a [Johnson &amp; Johnson] vaccine should receive a second dose, 

I would prefer that those individuals get an mRNA vaccine

FDA has authorized

A third shot of Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech

anyone 65 and older

any adults at high risk of severe, underlying conditions, job exposure, institutional settings

At least six months since their second dose

Johnson &amp; Johnson recipients

Anyone 18 and older

At least two months since getting the shot

In the fully vaccinated

105 million people, Pfizer series

70 million people, Moderna series

15 million people, Johnson &amp; Johnson single shot
More than 11 million people boosted so far

Risk posed by further viral evolution,

that becomes dominant globally is a very real possibility

Therefore need for:

Capacity to monitor for variants

Conduct predictive vaccinology

Winter and into 2022

Hospital admissions above the level seen in January 2021 are increasingly unlikely

Uncertainties, behaviour change and waning immunity 

Co-circulation and co-infection of SARS-CoV-2 with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and influenza

Symptoms of any respiratory infection, stay at home 

Russia

Deaths, + 1,000 per day

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58998366

Vologda, Hospital Number One

26% of patients vaccinated

Covid patients, 750
Unvaccinated, 700

The scale of new infections and deaths has alarmed authorities so much that 

All workplaces, shut down for a week from the start of November

Moscow, closing non-essential services for 11 days from next Thursday

Very low vaccine uptake

Years of scepticism of authorities

So the heart is a muscular structure, tell us about this muscle

What happens if this myocardium becomes inflammed?

What can cause myocarditis?

How would you recognise myocarditis?

What are the possible outcomes of myocarditis?

How much myocarditis are we seeing now and has this incidence changed of late?

Then much the same series of questions for pericarditis

Getting back to the myocardium, if this is an actively contractile muscle, I guess it needs a good blood supply?

What can go wrong with these coronary arteries?

What is this atherosclerosis and atheroma?

How long does it take for this furring up of the coronary arteries to develop?

Any changes in the rate of development in recent times?

What is a coronary arterial plaque, how can this lead to clots?

Can inflammatory processes lead to plaque instability?

What is a MI, is this the same as a heart attack?

What is a cardiac arrest?

How would a cardiac arrest be treated?

What is the difference between a heart attack and heart failure?

      <title>Deliberate destruction of biosamples </title>
      <description>With Professor of Medicine, Dr. Wendy Hoy and the aborted QoVax study. 

If we shed some light on events, perhaps a way forward might be devised.    

The Intent of this program was to study the effects and benefits of Covid Vaccines, through a prospective study over several years of a representative sample of adults in Queenland, which has one fifth of the Australia’s population and an area seven times that of the UK. 

Several of the major research and health care institutions in QLD were collaborators in the study. The Estimated cost over several years was to be Aus $20 million. It was a show-cased as a “real time study” with few to compare internationally.    

Participants gave detailed informed consent. Their vaccine status and Covid histories were recorded at baseline and ongoing (15% were unvaccinated at enrolment): and biosamples were gathered at baseline and ongoing. Biosamples included DNA, with the intern of evaluating potential genomic associations of susceptibility to Covid, as well as to reactions to and efficacy of the vaccines.  

In parallel, all hospital admissions, outcomes, deaths and costs, were to be followed through the existing linked data system built and maintained by Queensland Health, the state’s single public health service provider.  

Enrolment started in late July 2021: 10,600 participants  were ultimately recruited: baseline observations and biosamples were acquired. Then longitudinal surveillance &amp; intermittent biosampling began. 

It was suddenly announced in mid-2023,  when many participants would have been followed for less than a year, that enrolment would cease, that the surveillance data would be indefinitely quarantined and the stored biosamples would be destroyed within 12 months. This occurred without advance notice or consultation of participants or of the study team. 

Explanations offered to the participants for this abrupt change in plan included competing needs for funding, and the claim that most of study questions had already been answered.  However, questions about vaccine safety and efficacy have only ballooned over time, making this study a uniquely valuable resource of real time information to which there is little comparable, internationally.

Perhaps Queensland Health was discouraged by early signals of vaccine harm in the program. The potential influence of pharma companies which have made major commitments to funding research in Queensland has been mentioned by Rebecca Weisser in the links provided. 

Over the following 12 months, the study team of 27 people was disbanded.  Then, in May 2025, study participants were notified that the biosamples would be destroyed within the next 2 weeks, and the study data would be quarantined indefinitely.    

Protests about the action have included attempts to share this story more broadly : Sen Malcolm Roberts has made a powerful video presentation and several journalists have written powerful articles

They also include actions to prevent destruction of samples and data. 

• On June 10, a petition was presented to Queenland parliament to halt the destruction of the samples and to protest cessation of the study. The Chief Petitioner was Mr Allen Ballard, with about 6,800 signatures

• Mr Julian Gillespie, acting for legal firm, PJ O’Brien, has protested, on behalf of study participants, about destruction of the biosamples, arguing that it constitutes the criminal offence of destruction of evidence and of potential evidence. Notably, Mr Gillespie has for more than 2 years, been a global leader in promoting understanding and awareness of the DNA contamination of the mRNA vaccines, and its long term persistence in recipients.

Biosamples included DNA, with the intern of evaluating potential genomic associations of susceptibility to Covid, as well as to reactions to and efficacy of the vaccines.  

In parallel, all hospital admissions, outcomes, deaths and costs, were to be followed through the existing linked data system built and maintained by Queensland Health, the state’s single public health service provider.  

Enrolment started in late July 2021: 10,600 participants  were ultimately recruited: baseline observations and biosamples were acquired. Then longitudinal surveillance &amp; intermittent biosampling began. 

It was suddenly announced in mid-2023,  when many participants would have been followed for less than a year, that enrolment would cease, that the surveillance data would be indefinitely quarantined and the stored biosamples would be destroyed within 12 months. This occurred without advance notice or consultation of participants or of the study team. 

Explanations offered to the participants for this abrupt change in plan included competing needs for funding, and the claim that most of study questions had already been answered.  However, questions about vaccine safety and efficacy have only ballooned over time, making this study a uniquely valuable resource of real time information to which there is little comparable, internationally.

Perhaps Queensland Health was discouraged by early signals of vaccine harm in the program. The potential influence of pharma companies which have made major commitments to funding research in Queensland has been mentioned by Rebecca Weisser in the links provided. 

Over the following 12 months, the study team of 27 people was disbanded.  Then, in May 2025, study participants were notified that the biosamples would be destroyed within the next 2 weeks, and the study data would be quarantined indefinitely.    

Protests about the action have included attempts to share this story more broadly : Sen Malcolm Roberts has made a powerful video presentation and several journalists have written powerful articles

They also include actions to prevent destruction of samples and data. 

• On June 10, a petition was presented to Queenland parliament to halt the destruction of the samples and to protest cessation of the study. The Chief Petitioner was Mr Allen Ballard, with about 6,800 signatures

• Mr Julian Gillespie, acting for legal firm, PJ O’Brien, has protested, on behalf of study participants, about destruction of the biosamples, arguing that it constitutes the criminal offence of destruction of evidence and of potential evidence. Notably, Mr Gillespie has for more than 2 years, been a global leader in promoting understanding and awareness of the DNA contamination of the mRNA vaccines, and its long term persistence in recipients.

      <title>Omicron, Everyday cold symptoms</title>
      <description>the medical people I interact with at the hospital are far more optimistic than I've seen them since this all began in April last year

https://www.nicd.ac.za/diseases-a-z-index/disease-index-covid-19/surveillance-reports/daily-hospital-surveillance-datcov-report/

Nobody want's to tempt fate or speak to loudly just yet ,,,its like walking on egg shells at the moment – 

But there are open beds and they're not filling up just yet  - in fact there are 2 more beds now than last weekend.

When you have a larger number of people getting infected, the total amount of hospitalizations is going to be more. That's just simple math 





Omicron and cold-like symptoms rapidly taking over in London

https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/omicron-and-cold-like-symptoms-rapidly-taking-over-in-london

Data up to 11th December 2021

https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/omicron-and-cold-like-symptoms-rapidly-taking-over-in-london

In people with at least two doses in the UK

Currently 27,000 new daily symptomatic cases 

An increase of 6% from 25,411 new daily cases last week
 
London is currently seeing a rapid rise in positive cases

Driven by omicron

Prevalence in the UK

One in 57 currently have symptomatic COVID

ZOE’s predicted Long COVID incidence rate

1,418 people a day will go on to experience symptoms for longer than 12 weeks 

Omicron symptoms

Initial analysis of symptom data from positive cases in London

To compare Delta and Omicron symptoms

London data was selected from a week in October

With the most recent week ending 10th December

This initial analysis found no clear differences in the early symptoms (3 days after test) between Delta and Omicron. 

The top five symptoms reported in the ZOE app

runny nose

headache

fatigue (either mild or severe)

sneezing

sore throat

SA Patients presentations

Blocked or runny nose

Headache

Tiredness

Scratchy or sore throat

Body aches


NHS official symptoms

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/symptoms/main-symptoms/

The main symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are:

a high temperature 

a new, continuous cough 

a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste

Professor Tim Spector

Omicron is set to be the dominant strain in the UK by Christmas, 

and in the New Year cases could hit a peak higher than anything we’ve ever seen before. 

Hopefully people now recognise the cold-like symptoms which appear to be the predominant feature of Omicron. 

Ahead of Christmas, if people want to get together and keep vulnerable family members safe,

I’d recommend limiting social contact in the run up to Christmas,

and doing a few Lateral Flow Tests just before the big family gathering.

Have you ever felt the covid story did not entirely add up? Expired contains multiple eye-opening revelations about covid with compelling evidence that provides a coherent, sober and clear explanation that better fits the data we have so far. 
Meticulous research by pathologist Dr Clare Craig sheds light on the largely overlooked evidence of airborne virus transmission, examining twelve related beliefs on spread, lockdowns, asymptomatic infections, and masks. In addition, Expired champions the importance of Western ethical principles, damaged by pandemic actions and calls for their restoration. 
The covid debate has proved incredibly polarising. One side believed every intervention was saving lives, while the other emphasised the harms caused. Biased modelling based on a worst-case scenario led to fearful assumptions presented as fact. By dint of sheer repetition these ‘facts’ became unquestionable.

In addition, Expired champions the importance of Western ethical principles, damaged by pandemic actions and calls for their restoration. 
The covid debate has proved incredibly polarising. One side believed every intervention was saving lives, while the other emphasised the harms caused. Biased modelling based on a worst-case scenario led to fearful assumptions presented as fact. By dint of sheer repetition these ‘facts’ became unquestionable. Those scientists who dared to question were proclaimed dangerous. Welcome to Cloud-Covid-Land.
Let’s bring back nuance. It’s time to return to reality."<p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://megaphone.fm/adchoices">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a></p>]]>

Australia, Key statistics
https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/health/causes-death/provisional-mortality-statistics/latest-release
In 2022, there were 111,008 deaths that occurred by 31 July,

and were registered by 30 September, which is 16,375 

(17.3%) more than the historical average.

In July there were 17,936 deaths, 

2,503 (16.2%) above the historical average.

There were 300 (22.5%) fewer deaths due to COVID-19 in August than July.

Since the pandemic began

Over 30,000 excess deaths involving heart disease

(average over 230 additional deaths a week)

Heart disease is among the most prominent diseases involved in the high numbers of excess deaths since the start of the pandemic. 

While Covid-19 infection was likely a significant factor

Covid infections no longer a driving force

      <title>FDA approves BA. 5 vaccine </title>
      <description>U.S. Food and Drug Administration, amended the emergency use authorizations (EUAs),

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-moderna-pfizer-biontech-bivalent-covid-19-vaccines-use

of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine

to authorize bivalent formulations

BA.4 and BA.5 lineages of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. 

Omicron booster shots, with lots of questions

 https://www.science.org/content/article/omicron-booster-shots-are-coming-lots-questions

United Kingdom has authorized Moderna Omicron subvariant BA.1

Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, have submitted data about their BA.4/BA.5 vaccines 

Biden administration

Has already placed an order for 170 million doses

What do the new boosters contain?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) coding for the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2

Bivalent, Wuhan strain and BA.1 or BA.4 and BA.5 (which have identical spikes)

What sort of data have the companies collected?

Human data, only available BA.1 booster

BA.1 trails did not look for protection against severe disease, (People trials are very expensive)

For the BA.4/BA.5 boosters, the companies have submitted animal data. 

(not released publicly)

Pfizer presented preliminary findings in eight mice given BA.4/BA.5 vaccines as their third dose, (for EMA)

Showed an increased antibody response to all Omicron variants tested: BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4, and BA.5.

Clinical trials for the BA.4/BA.5 vaccines will begin next month

Why still target the ancestral strain?

Probably for new variants, more polyclonal response

Still has some neutralising power against the new variants

If the benefits are limited, do we really need the new boosters?

Some scientists don’t think we do. 

Paul Offit, vaccine researcher, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

COVID-19 vaccines still prevent the most severe outcomes

If the goal is to stop infections, even updated vaccines will have little impact

(Incubation period is too short)

(Measles or rubella, 2-week incubation period, so can stop spread)

even if 100% of the population were vaccinated,

and the virus hadn’t evolved at all, 

vaccines would do very little to stop transmission

the agency is beholden to the biopharmaceutical industry

Given this level of support, one might assume that the FDA would bend over backwards to meet the needs of its financial backers.

Dr. Thomas Marciniak

(former FDA medical team leader)

You don’t survive as a senior official at the FDA unless you’re pro-industry

The FDA has to pay attention to what Congress tells them to do, and the industry will lobby to get somebody else in there if they don’t like you

Pfizer

has made nearly $26bn (£21bn) in revenues in the first three months of the year

Covid-19 vaccines and treatments

Expects record sales of $98bn to $102bn this year, 

half of which will come from Covid products, Comirnaty and Paxlovid

prompting fresh accusations of pandemic profiteering.

      <title>DW Omicron talk</title>
      <description>Thanks to Marianna and DW. This would have been a better answer to the question I messed up:
Two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination provides some protection against symptomatic infection with omicron, but significant protection against hospitalisation (South Africa data)

33% protection against infection with omicron, relative to the unvaccinated

(down from 80% protection against infection with delta)

70% protection against hospital admission in omicron infection, relative to the unvaccinated

(down from 93% protection with delta)

      <title>Excess deaths debate 16 January </title>
      <description>Direct link to parliament TV, https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/5e1f14d2-72b3-488f-a53c-fc94fee92dac

Link to Hansard full transcript, https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2024-01-16/debates/152B485D-812D-43CC-9D25-C2B651564810/ExcessDeathTrends?highlight=westminster%20hall#contribution-46059AFE-9A03-472B-9364-0BF972E2E7D8
I thank the Backbench Business Committee for scheduling this debate and my 17 colleagues from across the House who supported the application for a debate on the trends on excess deaths. This debate follows on from my Adjournment debate on 20 October on the same issue.

The eyes of history are upon us. Every generation looks back in wonder at the incredible mistakes of its forebears. They will ask questions such as, “How could they possibly not have realised how wrong they were?”, “What on earth happened to them?”, “Why did they ignore the evidence for so long, as well as their values and every opportunity to learn from the mistakes of yesteryear?” and “What madness captures men?”

From 2010 to 2019, annual death rates in England and Wales oscillated between 484,000 and 542,000. In 2020, there were 607,000 deaths, which is 65,000 more than the maximum figure in 2018. In 2021, there were 586,000 deaths, which is 44,000 more than the 2018 figure. After such a rise, there should be a significant deficit. In fact, our most vulnerable and elderly, who might have lived a while longer, were sadly taken from us early. In 2022, there were 577,000 deaths in England and Wales, and in 2023 there were 581,000. That is a huge rise when a significant deficit would, and should, have been expected. The deficit has been filled not with the extremely old and vulnerable, but has been filled—and then some—with many, many others who are often young or in the prime of their lives.

Some people might want to ascribe the excess deaths in 2022 and 2023 to the virus, but that would be a mistake; that is not what their death certificates say. Moreover, far too many young people are dying. Far from being below the recent rolling average, excess deaths in 2022 were above that average: 6% above. In 2023, when one might have expected deaths to finally fall below the average, the excess was also 6% above. Those numbers are higher in the younger age groups.

No one with integrity can fail to be troubled by those figures. What is actually going on? That is why we need to have this debate. This problem affects us all. It affects every community in every constituency across the country. I thank all right hon. and hon. Members attending this debate, and we need to thank the public for their interest, which has stirred the interest of colleagues. I am very encouraged by the turnout for today’s debate, which is considerably better than we have seen in the past.

Not everyone in this room will be comfortable with analysing scientific data and figures, but that is not my position. I was fortunate enough to take a degree in
Toggle showing location of Column 212WH
biological sciences from Nottingham University many years ago. I specialised in biochemistry, genetics, behaviour and virology.

Of course we should be using the most accurate figures that we have. Later in the speech, I will talk about the data we really want, which would settle this matter once and for all beyond reasonable doubt.

I thank the public for their pressure and interest in these statistics, the people who have attended in person today and the thousands who will be watching on television or online.

There is a burning question at the heart of this debate. After excess deaths, there should be a deficit: where is it? When will we have it? Worse, why is the deficit being not just filled but significantly exceeded? Why are the institutions, whose job it is to notice, record, publicise and call attention to such matters, apparently asleep at the wheel?

A second burning question is

Over 100,000 excess deaths involving cardiovascular conditions in England since February 2020

Heart and circulatory diseases cause around a quarter of all deaths in England – over 140,000 deaths each year or one death every four minutes.

In 2022

Over 39,000 people in England died prematurely of cardiovascular conditions,

heart attacks, coronary heart disease and stroke,

an average of 750 people each week. 

It is the highest annual total since 2008.

HKUMed finds Omicron SARS-CoV-2
can infect faster and better than Delta 
in human bronchus

https://researchnews.cc/news/10606/HKUMed-finds-Omicron-SARS-CoV-2-can-infect-faster-and-better-than-Delta-in-human-bronchus#.Yb8Nai-l2QV

First information on how Omicron SARS-CoV-2 infect human respiratory tract. 

Omicron infects and multiplies 70 times faster than the Delta in human bronchus, 

which may explain why Omicron may transmit faster

Omicron infection in the lung is significantly lower than the original SARS-CoV-2, 

which may be an indicator of lower disease severity. 

This research is currently under peer review for publication. 

Pioneered the use of ex vivo cultures of the respiratory tract,

for investigating many emerging virus infections since 2007

Lung tissue removed for treatment of the lung

Dr Chan and his team successfully isolated the Omicron SARS-CoV-2,

and used this experimental to compare infection with the original and Delta variants

24 hours after infection

Omicron variant replicated around 70 times higher than the Delta variant and the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. 

In contrast, the Omicron variant replicated less efficiently (more than 10 times lower) in the human lung tissue than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus, 

which may suggest lower severity of disease.
 
Dr Chan

It is important to note that the severity of disease in humans is not determined only by virus replication but also by the host immune response to the infection,

which may lead to dysregulation of the innate immune system, i.e. “cytokine storm”

It is also noted that, by infecting many more people, 

a very infectious virus may cause more severe disease and death even though the virus itself may be less pathogenic. 

Therefore, taken together with our recent studies showing that the Omicron variant can partially escape immunity from vaccines and past infection, 

the overall threat from Omicron variant is likely to be very significant.

Koch's postulates 
The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease but should not be found in healthy organisms.

The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture.

The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.

The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.

The Shroud of Turin is purported to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, and its
authenticity has thus aroused intense and sometimes hostile debate between those who
believe that the Shroud is authentic, and those who do not. Accepting or rejecting the
authenticity of the Shroud is to many an issue of Christian or anti-Christian conviction.
This is especially true for anti-Christians - if the Shroud is a fake it doesn't really affect
the pro-Christian side, but if it is authentic then it is dramatic evidence in favor of it.
So the Shroud of Turin is the most highly and intensively studied artifact in the history of
the world. "Somewhere between 100,000 and 150,000 scientific man-hours have been
spent on it, with the best analytical tools available” according to one source.
2. Please note that this is not about "proof" in the scientific sense because it is not possible
to prove anything historical. For example, we can't prove that Julius Caesar lived, so
likewise we can't prove that the Shroud was the burial cloth of Christ. What we can do is
examine the evidence that supports or challenges that assertion. Regardless of conviction,
those who seriously seek to study the Shroud should approach it with an open mind and
suspend their religious persuasions as they examine the evidence, both pro and con.
3. Regardless of our convictions, it is right that we should question the Shroud and
approach it with skepticism because the history of religious artifacts is filled with
fraudulent attempts to make money at the expense of naïve worshippers. Many fake
shrouds have been produced, and in 1902 a researcher claimed that there were forty-two
medieval shrouds of Christ around Europe. However, they were not intended to deceive
anyone - most were either simply pieces of cloth or artistic copies, and some of these
“shrouds” still exist.
Scientific challenges
1. There have been many attempts to debunk the Shroud, and perhaps the main one is in
regard to dating. The Carbon 14 dating in 1988 indicated that the cloth was medieval
(1260 to 1390 AD). However, it was later discovered that the pieces used for testing
contained rewoven fibers that had been used to repair the cloth, so the C14 dating was
discredited.

A new non-destructive method of dating ancient textiles known as WAXS (wide-angle x-
ray scattering) has been developed which operates by detecting the degree of structural

degradation of threads from a cloth. Using that method a thread from the Shroud was
dated to the same period as a line fragment from the siege of Masada (55-74 AD), so it
places the Shroud in the era of Christ's death and resurrection, ca. 33 AD. No other grave
cloth in history has ever had an image on it like the Shroud.
Other scientific challenges have claimed that the Shroud was:

ray scattering) has been developed which operates by detecting the degree of structural

degradation of threads from a cloth. Using that method a thread from the Shroud was
dated to the same period as a line fragment from the siege of Masada (55-74 AD), so it
places the Shroud in the era of Christ's death and resurrection, ca. 33 AD. No other grave
cloth in history has ever had an image on it like the Shroud.

The Shroud of Turin is purported to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, and its
authenticity has thus aroused intense and sometimes hostile debate between those who
believe that the Shroud is authentic, and those who do not. Accepting or rejecting the
authenticity of the Shroud is to many an issue of Christian or anti-Christian conviction.
This is especially true for anti-Christians - if the Shroud is a fake it doesn't really affect
the pro-Christian side, but if it is authentic then it is dramatic evidence in favor of it.
So the Shroud of Turin is the most highly and intensively studied artifact in the history of
the world. "Somewhere between 100,000 and 150,000 scientific man-hours have been
spent on it, with the best analytical tools available” according to one source.
2. Please note that this is not about "proof" in the scientific sense because it is not possible
to prove anything historical. For example, we can't prove that Julius Caesar lived, so
likewise we can't prove that the Shroud was the burial cloth of Christ. What we can do is
examine the evidence that supports or challenges that assertion. Regardless of conviction,
those who seriously seek to study the Shroud should approach it with an open mind and
suspend their religious persuasions as they examine the evidence, both pro and con.
3. Regardless of our convictions, it is right that we should question the Shroud and
approach it with skepticism because the history of religious artifacts is filled with
fraudulent attempts to make money at the expense of naïve worshippers. Many fake
shrouds have been produced, and in 1902 a researcher claimed that there were forty-two
medieval shrouds of Christ around Europe. However, they were not intended to deceive
anyone - most were either simply pieces of cloth or artistic copies, and some of these
“shrouds” still exist.
Scientific challenges
1. There have been many attempts to debunk the Shroud, and perhaps the main one is in
regard to dating. The Carbon 14 dating in 1988 indicated that the cloth was medieval
(1260 to 1390 AD). However, it was later discovered that the pieces used for testing
contained rewoven fibers that had been used to repair the cloth, so the C14 dating was
discredited.

A new non-destructive method of dating ancient textiles known as WAXS (wide-angle x-
ray scattering) has been developed which operates by detecting the degree of structural

degradation of threads from a cloth. Using that method a thread from the Shroud was
dated to the same period as a line fragment from the siege of Masada (55-74 AD), so it
places the Shroud in the era of Christ's death and resurrection, ca. 33 AD. No other grave
cloth in history has ever had an image on it like the Shroud.

      <title>Japan proves excess deaths in vaccinated </title>
      <description>Japanese excess deaths after covid vaccination deaths

Dr. Yasufumi Murakami, Senior Fellow, Molecular Oncology and Pharmacology

https://imahealth.org/experts/yasufumi-murakami/

Research Centre for RNA Science

“The more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die.”

 “…the more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die, within a shorter period…

Among the vaccinated, death peak emerged, especially between 90- and 120-days post vaccination.

“A significant peak forms at three or four months,”

“It’s probably due to the vaccine’s influence, with adverse reactions occurring leading to death.”

“We found that as the number of doses increases, the peak of deaths appears faster, meaning the more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die, within a shorter period. So, the risk increases with more doses.”

“If the vaccine had no toxicity or didn’t induce death, there wouldn’t be a peak. That’s the point.”

Notes from the Graph

“Number of days from final vaccination to death and number of deaths.”

“As the number of vaccine doses increases, the peak in deaths appears sooner.”

“If the government won’t do it, then the people should investigate the mass deaths of Japanese people! Database of 18 million vaccinated people revealed for the first time!”

“This is a key discovery, the more doses, the more the peak shifts, indicating that the toxicity accumulates. The toxicity overlaps, and the more doses you receive, the faster people die.”

Significant Increase in Excess Deaths after Repeated COVID-19 Vaccination in Japan 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40416011/

Although Japan recorded the world's highest rate of COVID-19 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccination doses per capita, (3.3 doses, 0 -8)

COVID-19 cases and deaths exploded after the emergence of the Omicron variant, 

(despite more than 80% of the population having been fully vaccinated)

followed by a significant increase in excess deaths in 2022 and 2023. 

Although several hypotheses have been proposed to explain these phenomena, 

the truth remains to be established because sufficient studies and data disclosures have not been conducted to adequately investigate the possible contribution of mRNA vaccines. 

The causes of the excess deaths from not only COVID-19 but also other factors after repeated mRNA vaccinations must be elucidated, 

given this could provide valuable information to help combat future infectious disease outbreaks.

Japan, 2022 and 2023, excess deaths per million

More than 1,400

(three times higher than that in the United States)

COVID-19 deaths in Japan accounted for only 10% of these excess deaths 

Another hypothesized cause of the excess deaths is various adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccinations. 

As of November 18, 2024, Japan

After COVID-19 vaccination

Government has provided payouts for 8, 432 injuries

Payouts after 903 deaths

Numbers that are still increasing,

already greatly exceed the numbers of injuries and deaths,

for which payments were made,

after all other vaccinations in the last 47 years. 

Many injuries and deaths in the young population

E.g. fatal case, 14-year-old girl

(vaccinate to protect granny)

This policy contradicts an early study (August 2021) showing vaccination did not reduce the viral load of infected individuals

Adverse reactions reported

Myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clotting, and autoimmune diseases linked to lipid nanoparti

“If the government won’t do it, then the people should investigate the mass deaths of Japanese people! Database of 18 million vaccinated people revealed for the first time!”

“This is a key discovery, the more doses, the more the peak shifts, indicating that the toxicity accumulates. The toxicity overlaps, and the more doses you receive, the faster people die.”

Kazuhiro Haraguchi, House of Representatives

Significant Increase in Excess Deaths after Repeated COVID-19 Vaccination in Japan 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40416011/

Although Japan recorded the world's highest rate of COVID-19 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccination doses per capita, (3.3 doses, 0 -8)

COVID-19 cases and deaths exploded after the emergence of the Omicron variant, 

(despite more than 80% of the population having been fully vaccinated)

followed by a significant increase in excess deaths in 2022 and 2023. 

Although several hypotheses have been proposed to explain these phenomena, 

the truth remains to be established because sufficient studies and data disclosures have not been conducted to adequately investigate the possible contribution of mRNA vaccines. 

The causes of the excess deaths from not only COVID-19 but also other factors after repeated mRNA vaccinations must be elucidated, 

given this could provide valuable information to help combat future infectious disease outbreaks.

Japan, 2022 and 2023, excess deaths per million

More than 1,400

(three times higher than that in the United States)

COVID-19 deaths in Japan accounted for only 10% of these excess deaths 

Another hypothesized cause of the excess deaths is various adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccinations. 

As of November 18, 2024, Japan

After COVID-19 vaccination

Government has provided payouts for 8, 432 injuries

Payouts after 903 deaths

Numbers that are still increasing,

already greatly exceed the numbers of injuries and deaths,

for which payments were made,

after all other vaccinations in the last 47 years. 

Many injuries and deaths in the young population

E.g. fatal case, 14-year-old girl

(vaccinate to protect granny)

This policy contradicts an early study (August 2021) showing vaccination did not reduce the viral load of infected individuals

Adverse reactions reported

Myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clotting, and autoimmune diseases linked to lipid nanoparti<p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://megaphone.fm/adchoices">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a></p>]]>

      <title>Covid vaccines are safe </title>
      <description>Says British Prime Minister in offical statement a few days ago.
Watch on parliament TV, about 13.30 pm, Wednesday 31st January 2024

Andrew Bridgen 
(North West Leicestershire) (Ind) 

Q3. More than two decades ago, the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair, misled this House by promoting and endorsing the Post Office Horizon IT system as perfect, protecting the large corporation that created it and causing untold harm, damage and misery to innocent people. Can the current Prime Minister think of anything he has promoted, in partnership with huge businesses, as safe and effective that has ultimately harmed the British people? Will he use this opportunity to correct that safe and effective statement, or will he choose the same line as Tony Blair and sit back, do nothing and let the misery continue to pile up?

The Prime Minister 

We have been clear that the Horizon scandal is a terrible miscarriage of justice, and we are doing everything we can to make it right. To what the hon. Member was more broadly insinuating, let me be unequivocal from this Dispatch Box that covid vaccines are safe.

Apologies and correction from John
In this video I wrongly say the scabies mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) are insects, they are not and are correctly classified as Arachnida. This is because the adult mites have 8 legs, so are in the same group as spiders. Insects of course have 6 legs.

They are 0.2 to 0.45 mm in size, not 10 times bigger as I said, always important to put the decimal point in the correct place.

I hope to resume normal service in the next video.

      <description>The spike protein exhibits pathogenic characteristics

Multiple studies have shown an increased risk of myocarditis after vaccination with mRNA encoding SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

mRNA vaccines can result in spike protein expression in

Muscle tissue

Lymphatic system

Cardiomyocytes

Other cells after entry into the circulation.

There is concern that COVID-19 vaccination per se might contribute to long COVID, 

giving rise to the colloquial term ‘Long Vax(x)’

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35084966/

The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 exhibits pathogenic characteristics and is a possible cause of post-acute sequelae,

after SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 vaccination. 

COVID-19 vaccines utilise a modified, stabilised prefusion spike protein that might share similar toxic effects with its viral counterpart.

Not the natural Uridine

Uracil is one of the four nucleobases in RNA

Adenine, cytosine, guanine

The Critical Contribution of Pseudouridine to mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8600071/

Both consisted of N1-methyl-pseudouridine-modified mRNA encoding the SARS-COVID-19 Spike protein and were delivered with a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation

A possible association between COVID-19 vaccination and the incidence of POTS has been demonstrated in a cohort of 284,592 COVID-19-vaccinated individuals

Postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) is when your heart rate increases very quickly after getting up from sitting or lying down.

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/postural-tachycardia-syndrome/

Recipients of two or more injections of the mRNA vaccines display a class switch to IgG4 antibodies. 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37243095/

Abnormally high levels of IgG4

Might cause autoimmune diseases

Promote cancer growth

Autoimmune myocarditis

Other IgG 4-related diseases

There are clear implications for vaccine boosting where these and similar observations,

relating to COVID-19 vaccination and the incidence of long COVID-like symptoms are substantiated, 

adding further to public health officials’ concerns. 

Understanding the persistence of viral mRNA,

and viral protein and their cellular pathological effects after vaccination with and without infection is clearly required.

Because COVID-19 vaccines were approved without long-term safety data and might cause immune dysfunction, 

it is perhaps premature to assume that past SARS-CoV-2 infection is the sole common factor in long COVID.

Millions worldwide experience post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC or long COVID)

Although the Australian Bureau of Statistics and other health agencies in Australia do not survey the prevalence of long COVID, it is estimated that it affects hundreds of thousands

Long COVID is a heterogeneous disease with variable cardiac, pulmonary, haematological and neurological involvement

There is no consensus on what causes lingering COVID-19 symptoms long after the acute infection has cleared.

Often unable to secure a diagnosis, patients are wont to seek multiple serial medical opinions, frequently being told their condition is due to anxiety or post-pandemic mental issues.

The median duration of long COVID symptoms is five months, but 10% of patients still experience symptoms at 12 months.

Fatigue, shortness of breath and difficulty concentrating are reported at least up to two years after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

It is still too early to say whether some individuals with long COVID might never recover.

Long COVID patients present elevated inflammatory biomarkers,

the strength and persistency of the interaction between IVE and the binding site of 3CLpro indicate that a partial inhibition of the catalytic activity could have place as the drug interacts with the main subdomains that define the enzyme binding pocket:

as shown in Fig. 4, out of 13 OTDs only ivermectin completely blocked ( more than 80%) the 3CLpro activity at 50 µM concentration. 

Development, validation, and approval of COVID-19 specific drugs takes years. Therefore, the idea of drug repositioning, also known as repurposing, is an important strategy to control the sudden outbreak of life-threatening infectious agents that spread rapidly.

State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo

“There’s been a lot of chatter about it, and this very simple drug that happens to be very safe, by the way, has unfortunately, you know it’s so much it’s been weighed down by all this politics, especially during the Biden administration.”

First Lady Casey DeSantis

“This focus on nutrition research and preventative strategies directly aligns with the work of the Florida MAHA Commission and puts Florida at the forefront of discovering how what we eat can help beat disease.”

The Florida Cancer Innovation Fund, 

established through the Casey DeSantis Cancer Research Program, seeks to accelerate breakthrough research, enhance treatment models, and eliminate barriers to life-saving medical advances. 

Has provided $80 million to support 95 researchers, now + $60 million

Grants supporting new monitoring technology for early disease detection

Clinical trial expansion in rural areas

Data-driven precision medicine platforms. 

Applications will be evaluated based on:

Scientific merit, innovation potential, collaborative strength, and ability to improve patient outcomes for all Floridians.

Priority will be given to translational research, 12-month clinical trials, direct interventions with measurable outcomes, and projects serving rural and medically underserved areas throughout Florida.

Collaborative projects that bring together oncologists, researchers, and cancer treatment centers to break down traditional silos and foster rapid advancements in cancer care are also prioritized.

      <description>I feel let down and apologise if I have misled anyone

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30418-9/fulltext

We are public health scientists who have closely followed the emergence of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

and are deeply concerned about its impact on global health and wellbeing. 

We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.

https://www.nature.com/articles/S41591-020-0820-9

Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.

Conclusion

Obtaining related viral sequences from animal sources would be the most definitive way of revealing viral origins.

Debate therefore stifled

To date

Authors held lengthy discussions with experts, Sir Patrick and Sir Jeremy Farrar, head of the Wellcome Trust

Warned WIV had been carrying out research on bat-coronaviruses,

at worrying levels of biosecurity.

Research to alter Sars-like bat coronaviruses had been taking place for many years in Wuhan

(not mentioned in paper)

Sir Jeremy Farrar, (Wellcome)

Wuhan was like the "Wild West".

Prof Kristian Andersen, Scripps Research Institute La Jolla, California (lead author)

had earlier told colleagues that features of the virus looked as if they’d been engineered in a lab.

(No mention of this was made in the paper)

Dr Jeremy Farrar, (Wellcome)

It is important that we understand how all pathogens emerge so that we can prevent future pandemics

as the efforts to gather evidence continue, it is important to stay open-minded

Serial passaging

Would cause the virus to contain o-glycans

The second notable feature of SARS-CoV-2 is a polybasic cleavage site (RRAR) at the junction of S1 and S2 

Prof Ron Fouchier, Dutch virologist

(from another e mail chain)

It is good that this possibility was discussed in detail with a team of experts. 

However, further debate about such accusations would unnecessarily distract top researchers from active duties,

and do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular

February 8th e mail Prof Edward Holmes

(one of the authors)

Ever since this outbreak started there have been suggestions that the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab, 

if only because of the coincidence of where the outbreak occurred and the location of the lab.

I do a lot of work in China and I can tell you a lot of people there believe this and believe they are being lied to

Prof Kristian Andersen, February 8th

(Lead author)

Passage of Sars-live coronaviruses have been going on for several years and more specifically in Wuhan under BSL-2 conditions

BSL-2 laboratories are used to study moderate-risk infectious agents or toxins such as salmonella. 

Serious diseases should be handled in BSL-3 or 4 labs.

We are public health scientists who have closely followed the emergence of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

and are deeply concerned about its impact on global health and wellbeing. 

We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.

https://www.nature.com/articles/S41591-020-0820-9

Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.

Conclusion

Obtaining related viral sequences from animal sources would be the most definitive way of revealing viral origins. 

(Fully formed or evolutionary intermediate)


UK experts helped shut down Covid lab leak theory 

- weeks after being told it might be true

Sir Patrick Vallance among scientists behind paper that stifled debate into the origins of the virus

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/11/23/uk-experts-helped-shut-covid-lab-leak-theory-weeks-told-might/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpZz9rCz3Co

Top scientists including Sir Patrick Vallance,

Were warned that virus could have evolved in lab animals

Collaborated in above paper 

Debate therefore stifled

To date

Proximal origins paper

Accessed more than 5.7 million times and cited in 2,627 subsequent papers. 

Emails from early 2020 

FoI request, James Tobias, freelance journalist

Authors held lengthy discussions with experts, Sir Patrick and Sir Jeremy Farrar, head of the Wellcome Trust

Warned WIV had been carrying out research on bat-coronaviruses,

at worrying levels of biosecurity.

Research to alter Sars-like bat coronaviruses had been taking place for many years in Wuhan

(not mentioned in paper)

Sir Jeremy Farrar, (Wellcome)

Wuhan was like the "Wild West".

Prof Kristian Andersen, Scripps Research Institute La Jolla, California (lead author)

had earlier told colleagues that features of the virus looked as if they’d been engineered in a lab.

(No mention of this was made in the paper)

Dr Jeremy Farrar, (Wellcome)

It is important that we understand how all pathogens emerge so that we can prevent future pandemics

as the efforts to gather evidence continue, it is important to stay open-minded

Serial passaging

Would cause the virus to contain o-glycans

The second notable feature of SARS-CoV-2 is a polybasic cleavage site (RRAR) at the junction of S1 and S2 

Prof Ron Fouchier, Dutch virologist

(from another e mail chain)

It is good that this possibility was discussed in detail with a team of experts. 

However, further debate about such accusations would unnecessarily distract top researchers from active duties,

and do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular

February 8th e mail Prof Edward Holmes

(one of the authors)

Ever since this outbreak started there have been suggestions that the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab, 

if only because of the coincidence of where the outbreak occurred and the location of the lab.

I do a lot of work in China and I can tell you a lot of people there believe this and believe they are being lied to

Prof Kristian Andersen, February 8th

(Lead author)

Passage of Sars-live coronaviruses have been going on for several years and more specifically in Wuhan under BSL-2 conditions

BSL-2 laboratories are used to study moderate-risk infectious agents or toxins such as salmonella. 

Serious diseases should be handled in BSL-3 or 4 labs.

Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)

Importing bat coronaviruses from areas of China which hold the closest viruses to Covid-19

Had also applied for funding to manipulate viruses by inserting a furin cleavage site (FCS)

      <description>Pfizer expects to hike U.S. COVID vaccine price to $110-$130 per dose

https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/pfizer-expects-price-covid-vaccine-110-130-per-dose-2022-10-20/

Pfizer executive Angela Lukin

Pfizer Inc expects to roughly quadruple vaccine price,

to about $110 to $130 per dose,

after the United States government's current purchase program expires, 

U.S. government currently pays around $30 per dose to Pfizer and German partner BioNTech

No immediate loosening of zero-Covid strategy

Zero-Covid, people's war to stop the spread of the virus

Recent weeks

Tens of millions, confined home

60 towns and cities

Dynamic zero-Covid, linked to Mr Xi

Strict lockdowns, mass testing, constant scanning of health codes, travel restrictions

Trains out of Xinjiang suspended

Roadblocks

Widespread reports, food and medicine

Quarantine centres, family separations

IDs linked to health code apps

No vaccine compulsion

(Local vaccines only)

Zero-Covid might come to an end?

It's hard to say

Because one thing I am sure of is, we won't kill the virus any time soon. 

We're waiting for more effective medicines and more effective vaccines.

      <description>Please pass this video on, Basically, we need to change the vaccine administration guidelines to include precautionary aspiration, prior to pushing in the vaccine. This will prevent cases of inadvertent intravascular administration of vaccine.

Here is some discussion to suggest inadvertent intravascular vaccine administration is a variable in the aetiology of complications after adenoviral vector vaccine administration and after mRNA vaccines.

These adverse events, although rare have reduced public confidence in covid vaccination, especially amongst the young, where vaccine rates are lowest.

It has long been known that intravenous injection of adenovirus leads to TTS in mice

https://ashpublications.org/blood/article/109/7/2832/125650/Adenovirus-induced-thrombocytopenia-the-role-of

Now, new covid vaccine specific work agrees with this previous work

Thrombocytopenia and splenic platelet directed immune responses after intravenous ChAdOx1 nCov-19 administration (29th June 2021)

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.29.450356v1

The authors conclude, ‘Our work contributes to the understanding of TTS and highlights accidental intravenous injection as potential mechanism for post-vaccination TTS.’ 

‘We show that intravenous but not intramuscular injection of ChAdOx1 triggers platelet-adenovirus aggregate formation and platelet activation.’ 

‘Hence, safe intramuscular injection, with aspiration prior to injection, could be a potential preventive measure when administering adenovirus-based vaccines.’


Also after giving mRNA vaccines

A new study finds that giving mice intravenous mRNA vaccine also causes heart inflammation in mice. 

Intravenous Injection of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA Vaccine Can Induce Acute Myopericarditis in Mouse Model (August 2021)

https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciab707/6353927

‘Our study indicates that IV injection of vaccines might partially contribute to this clinical phenotype, thus warranting a reconsideration of the practice of IM injection without aspiration, which carries the risk of inadvertent IV injection.’ 

Agreement from ‘fact check’ from Leo Nicolai, Cardiology Fellow, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich:

(German Centre for Cardiovascular Research)

https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/incorrect-vaccine-administration-is-a-potential-cause-of-post-vaccine-adverse-effects-but-more-research-is-still-needed-to-confirm-or-reject-this-hypothesis/?fbclid=IwAR0nBbM6v0V2WPFn4LxIdfR4FNAvIzLGKhzFPdQPG8mu_FR1InB8OzYQgMc

‘Indeed, there is peer-reviewed work showing in mice that possibly intravenous injection of mRNA vaccine leads to myocardial inflammation.’

‘that intravenous injection of adenoviral vector based vaccine (AZ1222, ChAdOx1) leads to thrombocytopenia and platelet-directed immune responses, offering a possible explanation for vaccine-induced thrombosis/thrombocytopenia’

‘these data might indicate a simple measure to lower the incidence of vaccine-induced side effects,’

‘There is a lack of data on frequency and effects of IV injection in humans.’


Denmark has changed their national guidelines

Based on a precautionary principle, we recommend aspiration before injection.

      <description>‘I should decide if my vulnerable adult son has a Covid vaccine – not a judge’

Sarah’s instinct to protect Tom, a 24-year-old with complex medical conditions, could be overridden by one of Britain’s most powerful courts

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/parenting/children/covid-vaccine-health-risks-court-heart-vulnerable-son/

‘They should be proving to us that it’s safe, not me trying to prove it isn’t’

‘All I’ve ever wanted to be is a great mother and to protect my son’

Mum Sarah and son Tom (23 years / 18 months LD)

Congenital heart condition

Chromosomal condition, Partial Trisomy 13

She dared to question whether the Covid-19 vaccine was safe for her vulnerable son

Nearly three years, Court of Protection

Whether the greater good – for Tom and society – will be served by him being injected

(despite complex medical conditions)

Sarah

Claims state being “heavy-handed”,

insisting it knows better than a mother.

Tom had all his childhood vaccines.

Her fear about the vaccine

mRNA suitable in multiple pathology?

Dentists, needs antibiotics

2021

Tom contracted covid twice, recovered quickly.

Sarah repeatedly asking medical professionals

“I went to talk to my GP about my concerns,”

“I explained that I was worried there was a possibility the vaccine could cause myocarditis or pericarditis”

“At the end of our chat when I said I was concerned about Tom having the vaccine, the doctor simply said he needed to tick some boxes for the relevant “agencies”. I didn’t think any more of it.”

A few days later

Social worker unexpected visit. 

Then, a physiotherapist

Both questioned about why Tom had not yet had the vaccine.

“I felt they should be proving to us that it’s safe, not me trying to prove it is not safe.”

April 2021

Court summons,

signalling the beginning of a protracted and ongoing legal tussle with the state.

Judge Burrows

legal “impasse”

“on the advice given to clinicians by effectively the UK Government”

Sarah

“the risks posed by the vaccine were unclear and maybe significant.”

Judge Burrows

Tom was in an at-risk group,

“the evidence is that vaccines do give protection against serious illness and death.”

Whether Tom “may have made an altruistic decision to receive the vaccine to protect the community at large”

 “In other words: might Tom have behaved like a responsible citizen and considered the effect of his decision on other people had he made the decision for himself.”

“it is in Tom’s best interest to receive the vaccine”

Court battle is still ongoing.

Sarah

Crowdfunding site – “Forced Vaccinations On Our Loved Ones” 

So far, those who believe mother knows best have raised more than £35,000.

Sarah has spent £25,000 of her own life savings.

Professor

World expert in Trisomy 13, told the court the vaccine could pose a threat to Tom. 

If the court ultimately orders that Tom should be vaccinated, 

any attempt by his mother to prevent that happening could culminate in her being jailed or assets being seized.
 
Sarah

“‘He is currently a fit and well young man with no comorbidities and he takes no medications. 

“The injection could potentially injure or kill him. 

If he is given the vaccine, one of my greatest fears is that he cannot speak and express how he is feeling should he have an adverse reaction.

“I have dedicated my whole life to overseeing his health and worked tirelessly with the medical community to develop intricate and personalised care regimes,”

“It’s my care which has contributed to Tom living until he is 24, despite Trisomy 13 often resulting in a limited lifespan.

“For the judge to believe that Tom would take it for the sake of others – the so-called altruistic view – denies the possibility that there is any risk at all to Tom. 

“I would think he’d protect his own life by not taking it.”

“All I have ever wanted to be is a great mother and to protect my son

      <title>New treatment stopped</title>
      <description>Professor Angus Dalgleish, (Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists, Fellow of Medical Science.)

Professor Dalgleish is a highly experienced doctor, physician, medical teacher, medical author and researcher with over 500 primary research publications.

He was also a pioneering researcher into HIV/AIDS.

Here we discuss the recently observed changes in cancer presentations and deaths. Some of the discussion considers this research paper noting excess cancer deaths in Japan.

Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan

https://www.cureus.com/articles/196275-increased-age-adjusted-cancer-mortality-after-the-third-mrna-lipid-nanoparticle-vaccine-dose-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-in-japan#!/

Gibo M, Kojima S, Fujisawa A, et al. (April 08, 2024) Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan. Cureus 16(4): e57860. DOI 10.7759/cureus.57860 

Conclusions

Statistically significant increases in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancer and some specific types of cancer, namely, ovarian cancer, leukemia, prostate, lip/oral/pharyngeal, pancreatic, and breast cancers, were observed in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third or later dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine. 

These particularly marked increases in mortality rates of these ERα-sensitive cancers may be attributable to several mechanisms of the mRNA-LNP vaccination,

rather than COVID-19 infection itself or reduced cancer care due to the lockdown. 

Researchers have reported that the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine may pose the risk of development and progression of cancer.

Several case reports have described cancer developing or worsening after vaccination and discussed possible causal links between cancer and mRNA-LNP vaccination.

      <title>Florida changes vaccine advice for young men </title>
      <description>Florida, Guidance for mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines 

October 7, 2022 

https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/20221007-guidance-mrna-covid19-vaccines-doc.pdf

Florida continues to emphasize that health care providers review all data to evaluate risks and benefits unique to each patient when determining any health care services to provide, 

including the administration of COVID-19 vaccines containing Messenger RNA (mRNA) which both the Pfizer- BioNTech and the Moderna vaccines utilize. 

The Florida Department of Health (Department) conducted an analysis through a self-controlled case series, 

https://www.bmj.com/content/354/bmj.i4515

a technique originally developed to evaluate vaccine safety. 

This studied mortality risk following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. 

This analysis found there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. 

Individuals with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, 

should take particular caution when considering vaccination and discuss with their health care provider. 

Florida Department of Health has issued the following guidance: 

Based on currently available data, 

patients should be informed of the possible cardiac complications that can arise after receiving a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. 

With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, 

the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac- related death among men in this age group. 

The State Surgeon General now recommends against the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for males ages 18-39 years old. 

Males over the age of 60 had a 10% increased risk of cardiac-related death within 28 days of mRNA vaccination. 

Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks among any population. 

Floridians are encouraged to discuss all the potential benefits and risks of receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines with their health care provider. 

The risk associated with mRNA vaccination should be weighed against the risk associated with COVID-19 infection. 

The Department continues to stand by its Guidance for Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccines 

http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_partners/covid19_report_archive/press-release-assets/g2-jtr_QWBT4hJpqr_20220308-1923.pdf

(issued March 2022), 

which recommends against use in healthy children and adolescents 5 years old to 17 years old. 

This now includes recommendations against COVID-19 vaccination among infants and children under 5 years old, 

which has since been issued under Emergency Use Authorization.

      <title>FenBen in Stage 4 tumors</title>
      <description>Fenbendazole and cancer

https://karger.com/cro/article-pdf/18/1/856/4381509/000546362.pdf

Fenbendazole, inexpensive, widely accessible antiparasitic drug used in veterinary medicine

Patent expired in the early 1990s, making FBZ available as a generic drug 

Case 1
 
An 83-year-old female

October 2021

Stage 4 breast cancer

Initially diagnosed in 2009

Treated 2009, bilateral mastectomy

Recurrence was diagnosed in 2021. 

Liver biopsy, confirmed metastatic breast

Ascitic fluid confirmed metastatic breast carcinoma. 

Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine, October 2021 metastatic breast cancer, T10, T12, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, S1, S2, and the iliac bones. 

A PET/CT scan on December 29, 2021, showed six hypermetabolic lung lesions

Largest was 2.8 × 1.5 cm

Hypermetabolic liver lesions, 2.9 × 1.7 cm

Hypermetabolic bone lesions, notably a 5.0 × 2.9 cm lytic lesion in L4, extending into the spinal canal, etc

The patient declined further conventional chemotherapy or radiation therapy and was placed under hospice care. 

November 22, 2021

Self-administering FBZ daily at a dose of 222 mg. 

In December 2021, she received fulvestrant injection, (an estrogen receptor blocker) intended to inhibit cancer growth 

January 2022

Targeted radiation for two painful spinal metastases. 

These tumors disappeared rapidly, relieving her pain within a few days. 

Continued taking 222 mg/day of FBZ for 8 months. 

During this time, her liver enzymes normalized

CA 27.29 tumor marker dropped from 316 (November 2021) to 36.6 (July 2022)

April 20, 2022, 

PET scan confirmed the absence of any abnormal metabolic activity indicative of cancer. 

June 2022

Patient was confirmed to have no evidence of active disease. 

All treatments were discontinued, and she was considered to be in complete remission. 

Follow-up monitoring was scheduled every 3–6 months. 

Throughout her FBZ treatment, she continued her regular supplementation of vitamin D (5,000 IU) and a multivitamin. 

Subsequent PET scans showed no abnormal metabolic activity. 

The FBZ treatment period revealed no adverse effects at this dosage. 

The patient remains recurrence-free and continues to take FBZ daily nearly 3 years after being declared to be in remission. 

Joe Tipp’s Protocol

https://www.fenbendazole.org/fenbendazole-information/fenbendazole-dosage-guide/

Case 2, Prostate cancer, 75 year old man

Bone scans and CT scans, metastases in the spine, pelvic bones, and right humeral head

Conventional treatments

Complementary treatments

The use of FBZ coincided with continued regression of metastatic lesions and sustained undetectable PSA levels

After 26 months of sustained regression and no new progression, the patient remains in near-complete response and continues FBZ with conventional therapy

Case 3, 63-year-old man

Hip growth, melanoma. 

PET-CT showed multiple hypermetabolic foci – peritoneal and retroperitoneal nodules, focal uptake in the stomach and small bowel, lesions in the right gluteus medius, quadratus femoris, and L5 vertebra. 

Conventional and complementary treatments

The patient remains melanoma recurrence-free over 11 months after being declared to be in remission.

Case Presentations

All three patients, no reported adverse effects

Conclusion

FBZ demonstrates potential as a novel promising therapeutic option for repurposing in oncology. 

Its ability to contribute to tumor regression and achieve disease remission warrants further clinical research to establish its efficacy and optimize its use.

Deaths and excess deaths

Week ending 18 November 2022

471 deaths involving COVID-19 registered in the UK

Deaths involving COVID-19 accounted for 3.6% of all deaths in the UK

(a fall from 4.4% in the previous week)

A total of 13,236 deaths were registered in the UK

7.7% above the five-year average

(941 excess deaths)

The rate of death involving COVID-19 was higher for those with obesity than those without obesity

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19/latestinsights

Those who reported symptoms with their first infection were less likely to be reinfected

2.1 million people in the UK were experiencing self-reported long COVID as of 1 October 2022

Deaths and excess deaths

Week ending 18 November 2022

471 deaths involving COVID-19 registered in the UK

Deaths involving COVID-19 accounted for 3.6% of all deaths in the UK

(a fall from 4.4% in the previous week)

A total of 13,236 deaths were registered in the UK

7.7% above the five-year average

(941 excess deaths)

The rate of death involving COVID-19 was higher for those with obesity than those without obesity

20 to 40-fold reductions during the period of dominance of Omicron compared to the initial acute phase.

Phase 1, Ancestral

Probability of hospitalization per infection of 5.4%

Probability of ICU admission of 0.65%

Probability of death of 2.2%

Phase 5, Omicron

Probability of hospitalization, 95.1% reduction in risk

Probability of ICU admission, 97.3% reduction in risk

Probability of death, 97.5% reduction in risk


Using epidemiological and genomic surveillance data

To estimate the number of daily infections in Italy in the first two years of pandemic. 

Attack rate

Ascertainment of SARS-CoV-2 infections

Phase 1 (ancestral)

NPIs

Attack rate 2.8%

Phase 2 (ancestral)

Less stringent NPIs

Attack rate 11.4%

Phase 3 Alpha variant

Mid -February 2021 to early July 2021

Alpha infected about 10.1% of the Italian population

Phase 4, Delta

Second half of 2021

Progressive relaxation of NPIs

Attack rate 17.3%

Phase 5, Omicron

End of December 2021

Attack rate, 51.1% of the Italian population became infected with Omicron


Evolution of population susceptibility


Percentage of the population susceptible to SARS-CoV-2

End of first phase, 97.5%

February 20, 2022, 13%

By February 20th, 2022

a marked proportion of individuals unprotected against SARS-CoV-2 infection can be found among vaccinated subjects,

due to the waning of vaccine protection


Evolution of COVID-19 severity and lethality

Probability of hospitalisation

Probability of ICU admission

Probability of death

Evolution of population susceptibility

Natural, post infection immunity is now the main factor reducing population sensitivity

Vaccination protection is seen to be declining

Omicron natural infection had the largest protective effect

Repeat exposure to omicron (and sub variants) is likely to have the same effect going forward. 

NPIs will reduce repeat exposures

NPIs will reduce exposure to other respiratory viruses such as RSV

The Shroud of Turin is purported to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, and its
authenticity has thus aroused intense and sometimes hostile debate between those who
believe that the Shroud is authentic, and those who do not. Accepting or rejecting the
authenticity of the Shroud is to many an issue of Christian or anti-Christian conviction.
This is especially true for anti-Christians - if the Shroud is a fake it doesn't really affect
the pro-Christian side, but if it is authentic then it is dramatic evidence in favor of it.
So the Shroud of Turin is the most highly and intensively studied artifact in the history of
the world. "Somewhere between 100,000 and 150,000 scientific man-hours have been
spent on it, with the best analytical tools available” according to one source.
2. Please note that this is not about "proof" in the scientific sense because it is not possible
to prove anything historical. For example, we can't prove that Julius Caesar lived, so
likewise we can't prove that the Shroud was the burial cloth of Christ. What we can do is
examine the evidence that supports or challenges that assertion. Regardless of conviction,
those who seriously seek to study the Shroud should approach it with an open mind and
suspend their religious persuasions as they examine the evidence, both pro and con.
3. Regardless of our convictions, it is right that we should question the Shroud and
approach it with skepticism because the history of religious artifacts is filled with
fraudulent attempts to make money at the expense of naïve worshippers. Many fake
shrouds have been produced, and in 1902 a researcher claimed that there were forty-two
medieval shrouds of Christ around Europe. However, they were not intended to deceive
anyone - most were either simply pieces of cloth or artistic copies, and some of these
“shrouds” still exist.
Scientific challenges
1. There have been many attempts to debunk the Shroud, and perhaps the main one is in
regard to dating. The Carbon 14 dating in 1988 indicated that the cloth was medieval
(1260 to 1390 AD). However, it was later discovered that the pieces used for testing
contained rewoven fibers that had been used to repair the cloth, so the C14 dating was
discredited.

A new non-destructive method of dating ancient textiles known as WAXS (wide-angle x-
ray scattering) has been developed which operates by detecting the degree of structural

degradation of threads from a cloth. Using that method a thread from the Shroud was
dated to the same period as a line fragment from the siege of Masada (55-74 AD), so it
places the Shroud in the era of Christ's death and resurrection, ca. 33 AD. No other grave
cloth in history has ever had an image on it like the Shroud.

      <title>Covid autoimmunity </title>
      <description>Covid toe, caused by the immune response to the virus, not the virus itself

https://covidskinsigns.com

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/bjd.20707

Objectives

To study skin and blood endothelial and immune system activation

In chilblain-like lesions (CLL),

CLL in comparison with healthy controls and seasonal chilblains (SC)

(cold-induced sporadic chilblains occurring during 2015 and 2019)

Methods

Observational study

Saint-Louis Hospital, Paris, France

N = 50

Cytokine assays

Assessment of interferon-stimulated gene expression in whole blood

Soluble markers of endothelial activation and/or angiogenesis

Histological examinations

Lateral flow spike assay

Circulating endothelial cell counting

Statistical analysis

Results

Histological patterns were similar in CLL and SC groups

Transcriptomic signatures overlapped in both the CLL and SC groups

Type I interferon

Cytotoxic–natural killer gene signature

CLL were characterized by higher IgA tissue deposition

More complement and angiogenesis factors in CLL compared with SC

Autoimmune vasculitis

Confirmed endothelial dysfunction in CLL

Microangiopathy leading to clinical chilblains

Disrupt the thrombo-protective state of endothelial cells

Likely contributing to microvascular thrombosis

Systemic endothelial activation?

The PT ratio and aPTT were normal in all patients

Only three patients (6%) had a moderate increase in D-dimer levels

Conclusions

Inflammation in the skin in CLL

Associated with endothelial alteration

Immune infiltration of cytotoxic and type I IFN-leading to clinical manifestations

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58801462

UK podiatrist Dr Ivan Bristow

like the regular chilblains typically seen during cold spells and in people who have problems with circulation - the lesions usually go away on their own. 

But some may need treatment with creams and other drugs.

The confirmation of the cause will help to develop new treatments to manage it more effectively


Dr Veronique Bataille, consultant dermatologist, British Skin Foundation

Covid toe was seen very frequently during the early phase of the pandemic, but has been less common in the current Delta variant wave.

That might be down to more people being vaccinated or having some protection against Covid from past infections. 

Presentations after vaccination are much rarer

like the regular chilblains typically seen during cold spells and in people who have problems with circulation - the lesions usually go away on their own. 

But some may need treatment with creams and other drugs.

The confirmation of the cause will help to develop new treatments to manage it more effectively

Covid toe was seen very frequently during the early phase of the pandemic, but has been less common in the current Delta variant wave.

That might be down to more people being vaccinated or having some protection against Covid from past infections. 

Presentations after vaccination are much rarer

        <![CDATA[Covid toe, caused by the immune response to the virus, not the virus itself

https://covidskinsigns.com

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/bjd.20707

Objectives

To study skin and blood endothelial and immune system activation

In chilblain-like lesions (CLL),

CLL in comparison with healthy controls and seasonal chilblains (SC)

(cold-induced sporadic chilblains occurring during 2015 and 2019)

Methods

Observational study

Saint-Louis Hospital, Paris, France

N = 50

Cytokine assays

Assessment of interferon-stimulated gene expression in whole blood

Soluble markers of endothelial activation and/or angiogenesis

Histological examinations

Lateral flow spike assay

Circulating endothelial cell counting

Statistical analysis

Results

Histological patterns were similar in CLL and SC groups

Transcriptomic signatures overlapped in both the CLL and SC groups

Type I interferon

Cytotoxic–natural killer gene signature

CLL were characterized by higher IgA tissue deposition

More complement and angiogenesis factors in CLL compared with SC

Autoimmune vasculitis

Confirmed endothelial dysfunction in CLL

Microangiopathy leading to clinical chilblains

Disrupt the thrombo-protective state of endothelial cells

Likely contributing to microvascular thrombosis

Systemic endothelial activation?

The PT ratio and aPTT were normal in all patients

Only three patients (6%) had a moderate increase in D-dimer levels

Conclusions

Inflammation in the skin in CLL

Associated with endothelial alteration

Immune infiltration of cytotoxic and type I IFN-leading to clinical manifestations

Systemic distribution to brain, heart.

Triggers the immune system.

European Medicines Agency (Feb. 2021)

Page 47, (Feb. 2021)

Over 48 hours, distribution was mainly observed to liver, adrenal glands, spleen and ovaries, with maximum concentrations observed at 8-48 hours post-dose. 

Role of the antigen presentation process in the immunization mechanism of the genetic vaccines against COVID-19 and the need for biodistribution evaluations (2022)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35298029/

The ‘traditional’ vaccines generally do not induce human cells to produce viral proteins, and thus, human cells do not expose viral antigens deriving from their proteosynthetic activity. 

On the contrary, the genetic vaccines against COVID‐19 induce human cells to produce the spike protein, relying intrinsically to an autoimmune reaction, extended to all the cells that intake the genetic material.

58% of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted

(people who had completed at least their primary series of vaccines)

Therefore 42% coronavirus deaths in August were people who were unvaccinated

First time there were more deaths covid deaths in the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-people-booster-percent-pop5

In September 2021
Vaccinated people, 23% of coronavirus fatalities

In January and February 2022

Vaccinated people, 42% of coronavirus fatalities

We can no longer say this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated

58% of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted

(people who had completed at least their primary series of vaccines)

Therefore 42% coronavirus deaths in August were people who were unvaccinated

First time there were more deaths covid deaths in the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated

In September 2021
Vaccinated people, 23% of coronavirus fatalities

      <title>Constructive UK data</title>
      <description>Less people going to hospital with Omicron infection compared to Delta infection. Apologies, I had a few technical problems with todays video

Zoe update: Wednesday 22 December 2021

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIGC310hPoI

https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/everything-we-know-so-far-about-omicron

https://joinzoe.com/learn/category/covid

https://joinzoe.com/learn/new-omicron-variant

144,284 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID in the UK

In people who have had at least 2 vaccine doses

56,346 new daily symptomatic cases in the UK

70% + cases in England are now Omicron 

The UK R value, 1.2

R value in London is 1.5.

From 17,000 omicron cases

Runny nose

Headache

Fatigue (either mild or severe)

Sneezing

Sore throat

(NHS test and trace is not telling users of their Omicron status anymore)

Report 50 - Hospitalisation risk for Omicron cases in England

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-analysis/covid-19/report-50-severity-omicron/

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/22/risk-of-hospital-stay-40-lower-with-omicron-than-delta-uk-data-suggests

Differences in the risk of hospitalisation between Omicron and Delta

1st to 14th December inclusive

Analysed data from all PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases in England

Cases

S-gene Target Failure (SGTF) and genetic data

Omicron, n = 56,000

Delta, n = 269,000

Reduction in the risk of hospitalisation for Omicron relative to Delta infections 

Endpoint, any attendance at hospital

20-25% reduced risk

Endpoint, hospitalisation lasting 1 day or longer

40-45% reduced risk

These reductions must be balanced against the larger risk of infection with Omicron, 
due to the reduction in protection provided by both vaccination and natural infection. 

Intrinsic differences in severity between Omicron and Delta

Omicron may result in slightly less severe disease

From the few neither previously infected nor vaccinated, 

risk of hospitalisation, 11% lower for Omicron versus Delta

Level of protection from previous infection

Reduces the risk of any hospitalisation by 50% 

Reduces the risk of a hospital stay of 1+ days by 61%

Risk of symptomatic infection with omicron

More protection after PF/MD than AZ 

Hospitalisation risk by vaccination state

AstraZenca (AZ) (doses 1 and 2)

Omicron hazard ratios are lower than for Delta

Pfizer or Moderna (PF/MD) (doses 1 and 2)

Omicron hazard ratios are similar to those seen for Delta

Conclusions, after at least 2 vaccine doses

Protection against omicron infection has been largely lost

Remain substantially protected against hospitalisation

Does not substantially change Sage modelling

Pointing to 3,000 daily hospitalisations in England at the peak next month

First case of Omicron confirmed by viral sequencing was recorded in Scotland on November 23, 2021

By December 19, 2021, there were 23,840 S gene negative cases. 

These S gene negative cases were predominantly in the age group 20-39 (11,732; 49.2%). 

Reinfections, more than 10 times more likely with omicron

Omicron positive cases that were reinfections, 7.6%

Delta cases that were 
reinfections, 0.7%

      <title>Dr Cohen on family doctoring</title>
      <description>Check out Dr.Cohen's channel, Whats Up Doc, https://www.youtube.com/@whatsupdoc.

In this interview I put a series of hard questions to Dr. Cohen, you will find his answers revealing and thought provoking.

Do you feel it is important in medicine for the individual patient to be empowered or should professionals retain control?

Is it important that patients understand their health and how to promote health, or should we just rely on doctors to heal us when we get sick?

Is there a risk of promoting ‘medical dependency’?

Is there a difference between compliance and concordance?

Do people need a level of knowledge and understanding in order to make informed decisions about their health?

Is there a risk for medicine to medicalise?

Can some diseases be prevented? If so how?

Can some diseases be reversed? If so how?

We all seem fairly well fed in Western countries, even a lot of obesity, presumably nutritional deficiencies are not a problem?

Do you feel it is important in medicine for the individual patient to be empowered or should professionals retain control?

Is it important that patients understand their health and how to promote health, or should we just rely on doctors to heal us when we get sick?

Is there a risk of promoting ‘medical dependency’?

Is there a difference between compliance and concordance?

Do people need a level of knowledge and understanding in order to make informed decisions about their health?

Is there a risk for medicine to medicalise?

Can some diseases be prevented? If so how?

Can some diseases be reversed? If so how?

We all seem fairly well fed in Western countries, even a lot of obesity, presumably nutritional deficiencies are not a problem?

      <title>WHO Trojan Horse </title>
      <description>Joint Statement by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on International Health Regulations Amendments

https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/secretary-kennedy-rubio-reject-ihr-amendments-joint-statement.html

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5ID0s-oLyA&amp;t=73s

Today, the Department of State, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), transmitted the official U.S. rejection of the 2024 amendments to the International Heath Regulations (IHR) (2005).  

This action delivers on our promise to the American people – to fight for Americans in the international system, protect our national sovereignty, and prevent international bureaucrats from shaping U.S. domestic policies.

In 2024, the World Health Assembly (WHA) adopted amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) that significantly expanded the World Health Organization's (WHO) authority over international public health responses.  

Developed without adequate public input, these amendments expand the role of the WHO in public health emergencies, 

create additional authorities for the WHO for shaping pandemic declarations, and promote WHO's ability to facilitate "equitable access” of health commodities. 

These amendments have undue influence on our domestic health responses from WHO directives. 

They also fail to adequately address the WHO's susceptibility to the political influence and censorship - most notably from China - during outbreaks.  

These amendments were set to become binding on the United States regardless of our withdrawal from the WHO.

Terminology throughout the 2024 amendments is vague and broad, risking WHO-coordinated international responses that focus on political issues like solidarity, rather than rapid and effective actions.  

The amendments also suggest that countries develop capabilities that jeopardize management and dissemination controls over public health information, potentially stifling valuable scientific debate.  

Furthermore, these revisions compel countries to adopt digital health documents.  

Our Agencies have been and will continue to be clear:  we will put Americans first in all our actions and we will not tolerate international policies that infringe on Americans' speech, privacy, or personal liberties.  
These amendments risk unwarranted interference with our national sovereign right to make health policy.  

We are proud to have worked jointly to ensure public health policy continues to be dictated by the values and will of the American people, not unelected global actors.

      <title>Excess Deaths and cancers after vaccine </title>
      <description>Significant Increase in Excess Deaths after Repeated COVID-19 Vaccination in Japan 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40416011/

Although Japan recorded the world's highest rate of COVID-19 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccination doses per capita, (3.3 doses, 0 -8)

COVID-19 cases and deaths exploded after the emergence of the Omicron variant, 

(despite more than 80% of the population having been fully vaccinated)

followed by a significant increase in excess deaths in 2022 and 2023. 

Although several hypotheses have been proposed to explain these phenomena, 

the truth remains to be established because sufficient studies and data disclosures have not been conducted to adequately investigate the possible contribution of mRNA vaccines. 

The causes of the excess deaths from not only COVID-19 but also other factors after repeated mRNA vaccinations must be elucidated, 

given this could provide valuable information to help combat future infectious disease outbreaks.

Japan, 2022 and 2023, excess deaths per million

More than 1,400

(three times higher than that in the United States)

COVID-19 deaths in Japan accounted for only 10% of these excess deaths 

Another hypothesized cause of the excess deaths is various adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccinations. 

As of November 18, 2024, Japan

After COVID-19 vaccination

Government has provided payouts for 8, 432 injuries

Payouts after 903 deaths

Numbers that are still increasing,

already greatly exceed the numbers of injuries and deaths,

for which payments were made,

after all other vaccinations in the last 47 years. 

Many injuries and deaths in the young population

E.g. fatal case, 14-year-old girl

(vaccinate to protect granny)

This policy contradicts an early study (August 2021) showing vaccination did not reduce the viral load of infected individuals

Adverse reactions reported

Myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clotting, and autoimmune diseases linked to lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and excessive production of spike proteins generated by the mRNA. 

Deaths from cancers related to estrogen receptors, such as leukemia, breast, pancreatic, lip/oral/pharyngeal, ovarian, and uterine cancers, 

have also increased since the population-wide administration of mRNA vaccinations

Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is known to bind to estrogen receptors,

located in the nucleus,

and includes a nuclear localization signal, 

which makes it more likely to be conveyed to the nucleus.

Another hypothesis involves chronic infection caused by immunosuppression after repeated vaccination. 

Indeed, recent studies have reported an increase in spike-specific (more immunoglobulin G4, more regulatory T cells)

Wastewater monitoring data support this claim. 

Robert Redfield

“The benefit to the 30-year-old firefighter, I don’t see the benefit.”

“There’s prolonged production or impact or negative consequence from spike protein in some people that get the mRNA vaccine.”

The concerns related to the mRNA-LNP formulation evidently need to be taken seriously. 

Thus, it is imperative to elucidate the effects of population-wide COVID-19 vaccination. 

Japanese health authorities have been hesitant to provide data

It was revealed that the vaccinated were as susceptible as or even more susceptible to COVID-19 infection than were the unvaccinated

National data on COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections is inadequate

Comparing SARS CoV-2 infection by vaccination status

February 1, 2021 to August 13, 2021

Veterans Health Administration

Covering 2.7% of the U.S. population

Vaccine protection declined by mid-August 2021

Decreasing from 91.9% in March

Down to 53.9%

(p less than 0.01, n=619,755)

Declines were greatest for the Janssen vaccine followed by Pfizer–BioNTech and Moderna. 

Specifically, for protection against infection

Janssen
March, 92%
August, 3%

Moderna
March, 91%
August, 64%

Pfizer
March, 95%
August, 50%

Delta variant as the primary determinant of infection

It is not yet clear whether reductions in vaccine protection against infection will translate into similar reductions in protection against hospitalization and death. 

Vaccines remain the most important tool to prevent infection, severe illness, and death,
 
but vaccines should be accompanied by additional measures, including masking, hand washing, physical distancing, and other public health interventions

      <description>Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan

https://www.cureus.com/articles/196275-increased-age-adjusted-cancer-mortality-after-the-third-mrna-lipid-nanoparticle-vaccine-dose-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-in-japan#!/

Gibo M, Kojima S, Fujisawa A, et al. (April 08, 2024) Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan. Cureus 16(4): e57860. DOI 10.7759/cureus.57860 

Conclusions

Statistically significant increases in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancer and some specific types of cancer, namely, ovarian cancer, leukemia, prostate, lip/oral/pharyngeal, pancreatic, and breast cancers, were observed in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third or later dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine. 

These particularly marked increases in mortality rates of these ERα-sensitive cancers may be attributable to several mechanisms of the mRNA-LNP vaccination,

rather than COVID-19 infection itself or reduced cancer care due to the lockdown. 

Researchers have reported that the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine may pose the risk of development and progression of cancer.

Several case reports have described cancer developing or worsening after vaccination and discussed possible causal links between cancer and mRNA-LNP vaccination.

Details of the paper

No significant excess mortality was observed during the first year of the pandemic (2020). 

However, some excess cancer mortalities were observed in 2021 after mass vaccination with the first and second vaccine doses,

and significant excess mortalities were observed for all cancers and some specific types of cancer after mass vaccination with the third dose in 2022. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic

Excess deaths including cancer have become a concern in Japan

Study aimed to evaluate how age-adjusted mortality rates (AMRs) for different types of cancer in Japan changed during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022). 

Official statistics from Japan,

used to compare observed annual and monthly AMRs,

with predicted rates based on pre- pandemic (2010-2019) figures

In 2020

(first year of the pandemic)

Significant deficit mortality for all causes, and no excess mortality for all cancers. 

In 2021

Significant excess mortality of 2.1% for all causes,

and 1.1% for all cancers. 

In 2022

Excesses mortality, 9.6%

2.1% for all cancers

Number of excess deaths 115,799

Number of excess cancer deaths, 7,162

Lung, colorectal, stomach, pancreatic, and liver cancer

Accounted for 61% of deaths from all cancers. 

AMRs for the four cancers with the most deaths showed a decreasing trend until the first year of the pandemic in 2020, 

but the rate of decrease slowed in 2021 and 2022. 

Since February 2021, the mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (mRNA-LNP) vaccine has been available for emergency use,

and is recommended for all aged six months and older

As of March 2023

80% of the Japanese population had received first and second doses, 

68% had received third dose, 

45% had received fourth dose

Excess deaths from causes other than COVID-19 have been reported in various countries, including deaths from cancer,

and Japan is no exception

Japan, good data

Large population of 123 million

Availability of official statistics

80% accuracy rate of death certificates according to autopsy studies

Vaccination rates by age group, the websites of the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare 

Discussion

All cancer deaths: A statistically significant excess emerged in 2021 and increased further in 2022. 

In addition, significant excess monthly mortality was observed after August 2021, 

whereas mass vaccination of the general population began around April 2021. 

There were excess trends in cancer

Types 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1 

usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses, 

like the common cold. 

runny nose
sore throat
headache

Cross-reactive immune responses

Common cold coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2

The frequency of baseline cross-reactive T cells,

is correlated with the infection outcome following SARS-CoV-2 exposure, 

and we observe significantly higher frequencies of cross-reactive memory T cell responses in PCR-negative contacts. 

Here we assess 52 COVID-19 household contacts

Studied peripheral blood mononuclear cells

(Lymphocytes as opposed to neutrophils)

T cells specific for spike, nucleocapsid, membrane, envelope and ORF1 SARS-CoV-2 epitopes,

(Open Reading Frame, about a tenth of the viral genome)

These T cells cross-react with human endemic coronaviruses. 

We observe higher frequencies of cross-reactivity

Memory T cells cross reacted with nucleocapsid-specific antigens significantly

Memory T cells did not seem to cross react with pre-existing spike-cross-reactive T cells

Our results are thus consistent with pre-existing non-spike cross-reactive memory T cells protecting SARS-CoV-2-naïve contacts from infection, 

thereby supporting the inclusion of non-spike antigens in second-generation vaccines.

Full speech from Dr. Johnson
This is a very important debate and I will try to make my speech as short as possible. I congratulate the hon. Member for North West Leicestershire on raising this issue and on his determination to highlight the challenges that we are facing. On the one hand, we might have expected that the pandemic would shorten the lives of a number of our more frail citizens and thus have expected a fall in deaths post-pandemic, and we saw that. The ONS reported roughly 608,000 deaths in England and Wales in 2020, 586,000 in 2021, and 577,000 in 2022—that was higher than 2019 when there were about 531,000 deaths, so that does warrant further inspection. We expect a fluctuation year on year, and we also expect

Toggle showing location of Column 221WH
the total number of deaths to increase year on year as the population increases and ages. We therefore look at the five-year average, and currently we are using 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 because of the outliers in 2020. Even then, it is unlikely that we will be exactly at the average, and we would expect some years to be higher or lower.

The ONS monthly mortality analysis shows that, in 2022, there were 32,000 more deaths than the five-year average, and in January to July 2023, there were 21,809 more. That equates to an annualised figure of around 37,000, but the figures appear to stop in July 2023. Would the Minister advise as to why the data series has been discontinued? It would be helpful if it were not. However, those are raw numbers and we must be cautious because, as the population ages and increases, so will the number of deaths. The ONS therefore uses the age-standard mortality rate, which has fluctuated month on month but is actually down for both 2022 and 2023 when compared with the five-year average. Overall, when adjusted for age and population size, the number of deaths is not excessive, given what we would expect.

We need to look further at the trends on age and the causes of death to see a fuller picture. Others will no doubt speak of rising cardiovascular disease in men, the late presentation of cancers or the rise in liver disease, but as a consultant paediatrician, I would like to focus on children. The National Child Mortality Database collates data on children’s deaths from nought to 18. Its latest bulletin from March 2023 shows that there were sadly 3,743 deaths to the end of that month, which is an increase of 8% on the previous year. Would the Minister comment on what investigation she is doing into the cause of that increased mortality and what is being done to prevent further deaths? The purpose of the child death overview panel is to investigate those deaths, but the average investigation is taking 392 days, with less than half completed in 12 months and a significant fall in the number being completed in 12 months. What is the Minister doing to improve that process?

One particularly distressing feature of child death data is that suicide or deliberate self-harm was a primary cause of death of children between 10 and 17 years, and looking at the data, it is getting much worse with children between 10 and 14. I understand that the Government are aware of those figures and are investing in mental health for children and improving online safety. I would be grateful if the Minister elaborated further on the steps they are taking to support children and prevent further tragedies.

Systemic distribution to brain, heart.

Triggers the immune system.

European Medicines Agency (Feb. 2021)

Page 47, (Feb. 2021)

Over 48 hours, distribution was mainly observed to liver, adrenal glands, spleen and ovaries, with maximum concentrations observed at 8-48 hours post-dose. 

Role of the antigen presentation process in the immunization mechanism of the genetic vaccines against COVID-19 and the need for biodistribution evaluations (2022)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35298029/

The ‘traditional’ vaccines generally do not induce human cells to produce viral proteins, and thus, human cells do not expose viral antigens deriving from their proteosynthetic activity. 

On the contrary, the genetic vaccines against COVID‐19 induce human cells to produce the spike protein, relying intrinsically to an autoimmune reaction, extended to all the cells that intake the genetic material.

Over 48 hours, distribution was mainly observed to liver, adrenal glands, spleen and ovaries, with maximum concentrations observed at 8-48 hours post-dose. 

Role of the antigen presentation process in the immunization mechanism of the genetic vaccines against COVID-19 and the need for biodistribution evaluations (2022)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35298029/

The ‘traditional’ vaccines generally do not induce human cells to produce viral proteins, and thus, human cells do not expose viral antigens deriving from their proteosynthetic activity. 

On the contrary, the genetic vaccines against COVID‐19 induce human cells to produce the spike protein, relying intrinsically to an autoimmune reaction, extended to all the cells that intake the genetic material.

      <title>Hunger for quality science and medicine</title>
      <description>Professor Angus Dalgleish, (Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists, Fellow of Medical Science.)

Professor Dalgleish is a highly experienced doctor, physician, medical teacher, medical author and researcher with over 500 primary research publications.

He was also a pioneering researcher into HIV/AIDS.

Here we discuss the recently observed changes in cancer presentations and deaths. Some of the discussion considers this research paper noting excess cancer deaths in Japan.

Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan

https://www.cureus.com/articles/196275-increased-age-adjusted-cancer-mortality-after-the-third-mrna-lipid-nanoparticle-vaccine-dose-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-in-japan#!/

Gibo M, Kojima S, Fujisawa A, et al. (April 08, 2024) Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan. Cureus 16(4): e57860. DOI 10.7759/cureus.57860 

Conclusions

Statistically significant increases in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancer and some specific types of cancer, namely, ovarian cancer, leukemia, prostate, lip/oral/pharyngeal, pancreatic, and breast cancers, were observed in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third or later dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine. 

These particularly marked increases in mortality rates of these ERα-sensitive cancers may be attributable to several mechanisms of the mRNA-LNP vaccination,

rather than COVID-19 infection itself or reduced cancer care due to the lockdown. 

Researchers have reported that the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine may pose the risk of development and progression of cancer.

Several case reports have described cancer developing or worsening after vaccination and discussed possible causal links between cancer and mRNA-LNP vaccination.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/technical-report-on-the-covid-19-pandemic-in-the-uk/chapter-1-understanding-the-pathogen

What was the duration of,

naturally acquired immunity, 

and vaccine acquired immunity, 

and the risk of reinfection over time?

By early 2020

Data emerged indicating that the majority of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 displayed an antibody response between 10 to 14 days after symptom onset

Throughout the first half of 2021

Following natural infection

Antibody detectable in saliva for at least 8 months,

and in blood for at least 9 months. 

The presence of antibody, associated with a protective effect against infection, at least 7 to 10 months

Cell-mediated immune response to SARS-CoV-2 was shown to be detectable up to 8 months after infection

Reflections and advice for a future CMO or GCSA (for Chapter 1)

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/technical-report-on-the-covid-19-pandemic-in-the-uk/chapter-1-understanding-the-pathogen#questions-on-the-disease

Point 1

Scientific and medical advice will often need to be formulated on the basis of limited data.

Point 2

Understanding the pathogen and the disease was a global effort, particularly at the outset, and sharing data and expertise from the beginning was key.

Point 3

Gaining a clear understanding of the pathogen and the disease required an array of cross-disciplinary studies to be initiated quickly.

Point 4

Building on and adapting existing research systems and networks was usually much faster than setting up new systems, but strong leadership, direction and coordination are required.

Point 5

Viral variants, population behaviours and population immunity changed significantly over time requiring continuation of studies.


Not mentioned

State secrecy needs to be eliminated, early, open sharing of all science.

No more cover ups

Dangerous gain of function research should stop

Procurements should be on the basis of clinical and scientific need, not commercial interests

Powerful international corporations should not be allowed to influence the agenda

All pharmaceuticals should be considered, rather than just expensive ones

Powerful international corporations and individuals should not be allowed to control public communications

Early scientific peer review must be allowed and encouraged, based on fully disclosed primary data

Primary anonymised data from clinical trials must be made public for the worlds clever people to process

Scientists and doctors with ‘outlying views’ should be judged on the quality of the evidence they present

Play the ball

Omicron, similar cold type symptoms to delta in the first few days

Omicron cases have less anosmia

Fever is less common

Having 5 or more symptoms less common with omicron than delta

More breakthrough infections with delta, after 2 or 3 doses of vaccine

Common colds less transmissible than omicron just now

One in two chance common cold symptoms will test positive for covid

Therefore, test for colds

Avoid people who have a cold

Pings are now too slow to be effective

Omicron onset, 2 days rather than 5 for delta

Omicron will run its course faster, all over in 4 or 5 days

Infection risk after 8 days in negligible

      <title>Myocarditis German proof</title>
      <description>Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00392-022-02129-5#Sec3

Likelihood assessment of vaccine-induced 
(epi-)myocarditis

Causality or correlation?

Presence of myocarditis with temporal association to vaccination event

AND

Integration of histological phenotype, clinical presentation, and laboratory findings indicate no alternative differential diagnosis

Abstract infographic

Cases of myocarditis

Have been diagnosed clinically,

by laboratory tests,

imaging

(in the context of mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination)

Autopsy-based description

We describe,

Cardiac autopsy findings and common characteristics of myocarditis,

with vaccine-induced myocardial inflammation representing the likely or possible cause of death. 

Our findings establish the histological phenotype of lethal vaccination-associated myocarditis.

Standardized autopsies

Performed on 25 persons

25 bodies found unexpectedly dead at home,

within 20 days following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

Histology

Patchy, focal, interstitial myocardial T-lymphocytic and macrophage
infiltration,

predominantly of the CD4 positive sub- set, (T Helper cells)

associated with mild myocyte damage. 

Autopsy findings indicated

Death due to acute arrhythmogenic cardiac failure. 

Thus

Myocarditis can be a potentially lethal complication following mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. 

Our findings may aid in adequately diagnosing unclear cases after vaccination,

and in establishing a timely diagnosis in vivo, thus, 

providing the framework for adequate monitoring and early treatment of severe clinical cases.

      <title>The Australian Plan</title>
      <description>Australia takes the courage of it's convictions
 
US

Half a billion free at home lateral flow tests

Military (1,000) helping hospitals

The omicron virus spread more rapidly than anyone thought

Texas

One omicron death

Man in his 50s

Underlying health conditions

Unvaccinated

Australia

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/australia-rules-out-lockdowns-despite-omicron-surge-2021-12-21/

NSW, cases + 3,763

Victoria, cases + 1,503

Australian thinking

To stop omicron with vaccination, near 100% efficacy with near 100% uptake

With no waning

Natural infection promotes antibody IgA

(vaccines generate IgM then IgG

Preventing vial replication in the upper airways

Allowing omicron infection up to the point where hospitalisations are manageable

Less pathogenic with shorter hospital stays

Natural immunity giving cross immunity to the next variant

Concurrent booster programme for the elderly and comorbid

Over time need for pharmaceutical and NPIs will diminish

If hospitalisations do rise, population will self-titrate

https://www.doherty.edu.au/our-work/institute-themes/viral-infectious-diseases/covid-19/covid-19-modelling/modelling

Millions of Covid cases by the end of January or early February

Infections, + 200,000 per day

Up to 4,000 hospitalisations a day

PM Mr Morrison

The modelling assumed the Omicron strain is as serious as Delta

Failed to account for boosters

or people taking sensible behavioural responses in what they're doing

So I wouldn't want to alarm people over that report. 

That is not what we are actually expecting to happen

The grim predictions were highly unlikely

There is a range of scenarios, 

of course the number of Omicron cases will increase.

It's highly infectious. 

But the indications are that it is not as severe and our hospitals, 

in NSW and Victoria, have been coping extremely well

Professor Paul Kelly, Australia chief medical officer

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10333919/Coronavirus-Australia-Australias-Chief-Medical-Officer-hits-doomsday-Omicron-predictions.html

selective and misleading media reporting about ongoing modelling

the predicted hospitalisation estimations are unlikely.

Evidence about the characteristics of Omicron is still emerging but early trends seen both internationally and within Australia suggest that it is more transmissible

However, early indications around hospitalisation, ICU admission and death show that Omicron could be far less than Delta and other variants 

Importantly, after almost four weeks of Omicron in Australia there are currently no confirmed Omicron cases in ICU and no deaths confirmed to date

Modelling, it's one of a range of tools and can't be viewed in isolation

A preliminary scenario, of many being considered to help inform decision making

Presents one of the worst case of all potential scenarios

including assumptions that the Omicron variant is as severe as the Delta variant, 

an absence of hospital surge capacity, 

a highly limited booster program, 

no change to baseline public health and social measures

and an absence of spontaneous behaviour change in the face of rising case numbers

None of these five assumptions represent the likely state of events, let alone all of them together, 

therefore presenting that scenario as the likely scenario that will occur is highly misleading

Former deputy chief health officer Nick Coatsworth

PM Mr Morrison

The modelling assumed the Omicron strain is as serious as Delta

Failed to account for boosters

or people taking sensible behavioural responses in what they're doing

So I wouldn't want to alarm people over that report. 

That is not what we are actually expecting to happen

The grim predictions were highly unlikely

There is a range of scenarios, 

of course the number of Omicron cases will increase.

It's highly infectious. 

But the indications are that it is not as severe and our hospitals, 

in NSW and Victoria, have been coping extremely well

Professor Paul Kelly, Australia chief medical officer

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10333919/Coronavirus-Australia-Australias-Chief-Medical-Officer-hits-doomsday-Omicron-predictions.html

selective and misleading media reporting about ongoing modelling

the predicted hospitalisation estimations are unlikely.

Evidence about the characteristics of Omicron is still emerging but early trends seen both internationally and within Australia suggest that it is more transmissible

However, early indications around hospitalisation, ICU admission and death show that Omicron could be far less than Delta and other variants 

Importantly, after almost four weeks of Omicron in Australia there are currently no confirmed Omicron cases in ICU and no deaths confirmed to date

Modelling, it's one of a range of tools and can't be viewed in isolation

A preliminary scenario, of many being considered to help inform decision making

Presents one of the worst case of all potential scenarios

including assumptions that the Omicron variant is as severe as the Delta variant, 

an absence of hospital surge capacity, 

a highly limited booster program, 

no change to baseline public health and social measures

and an absence of spontaneous behaviour change in the face of rising case numbers

None of these five assumptions represent the likely state of events, let alone all of them together, 

therefore presenting that scenario as the likely scenario that will occur is highly misleading

For friends in the US get your copy here, https://www.amazon.com/Expired-untold-Dr-Clare-Craig/dp/1739344707

Have you ever felt the covid story did not entirely add up? Expired contains multiple eye-opening revelations about covid with compelling evidence that provides a coherent, sober and clear explanation that better fits the data we have so far. 
Meticulous research by pathologist Dr Clare Craig sheds light on the largely overlooked evidence of airborne virus transmission, examining twelve related beliefs on spread, lockdowns, asymptomatic infections, and masks. In addition, Expired champions the importance of Western ethical principles, damaged by pandemic actions and calls for their restoration. 
The covid debate has proved incredibly polarising. One side believed every intervention was saving lives, while the other emphasised the harms caused. Biased modelling based on a worst-case scenario led to fearful assumptions presented as fact. By dint of sheer repetition these ‘facts’ became unquestionable. Those scientists who dared to question were proclaimed dangerous. Welcome to Cloud-Covid-Land.
Let’s bring back nuance. It’s time to return to reality."

      <title>Omicron positive news</title>
      <description>Omicron, Guess work so far

More transmissibility

Some vaccine escape

Some natural infection escape

Causing reinfections in SA in people that had had infection and vaccination

Mostly mild symptoms in the vaccinated

Effecting younger people

Sinovac recipients may do well

Global within the week

Lateral flow tests still work

Every vaccinated and unvaccinated person will encounter this variant

Tiredness, headache, body aches, scratchy throat, dry cough

November 19th and 23rd 

Omicron variant in two test samples

(South Africa announced they had identified omicron November 26th)

(First Belgium case, 24th November)

(Botswana on November 11th)
 
It is not yet clear whether the people concerned (in the earlier cases) had also been to southern Africa

Tracking down some 5,000 passengers from South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe

Michael Hoelscher, Department for Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine, Munich University Hospital

We're finding an increasing number of variant cases all around Europe, and in fact we believe that the introduction of those variants has been ongoing for a few weeks already

What we are also seeing is that there are now first cases of community transmission, so it's within Europe, and the travel bans will probably delay the spread of the disease a little bit but will not be able to hold it up

US

President Biden

Cause for concern not a cause for panic

Get boosted

No new US lockdown

Sequencing 80,000 samples per week

Moderna

No tweaked vaccine until 2022

Endemic with yearly vaccines

UK

13 England, 9 Scotland omicron cases

All 5 English cases linked to southern Africa

Scotland

Nine omicron cases so far

Scotland Chief Medical Officer Gregor Smith

Not aware of anyone dying of the omicron variant as of yet

Boosting boosters

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html

Prime Minister, throw everything at it

Next Thursday

Finished by end of Jan, next 2 months

Sites all over the place

Boosters to all over 18

Gap between 2nd dose and boosters, cut to three months

From December 1, doctors, £15 per jab

£20 for Sunday and Bank Holiday

400 soldiers will help

The best thing to happen?

Professor Karl Lauterbach, clinical epidemiologist

(Germany's next health minister)

Could mean omicron it is optimised to infect, in line with how most respiratory viruses evolve

Professor Paul Hunter

The theory may prove to be true

? levels of protection from previous infection in SA

High levels of previous infection and vaccination, offering protection
Franco Locatelli, president of Italy's Higher Health Council

Not overly concerned by the new variant

May be more contagious but it is not more dangerous than other strains

The time it took to become predominant was much less compared to other variants

But we don't have any evidence to suggest it can provoke more serious illness or evade the protective effect of vaccines in a major way

Professor Karl Lauterbach, clinical epidemiologist

(Germany's next health minister)

Could mean omicron it is optimised to infect, in line with how most respiratory viruses evolve

Professor Paul Hunter

The theory may prove to be true

? levels of protection from previous infection in SA

High levels of previous infection and vaccination, offering protection
Franco Locatelli, president of Italy's Higher Health Council

Not overly concerned by the new variant

May be more contagious but it is not more dangerous than other strains

The time it took to become predominant was much less compared to other variants

But we don't have any evidence to suggest it can provoke more serious illness or evade the protective effect of vaccines in a major way<p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://megaphone.fm/adchoices">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a></p>]]>

      <title>FenBen and cancer, your stories</title>
      <description>Fenbendazole and cancer
https://karger.com/cro/article-pdf/18/1/856/4381509/000546362.pdf
My co worker was stage 4 prostate cancer a few months ago and had resigned and was put on hospice! He got the fen Ben and long story short,, he’s back at work TODAY!!

I just heard from a relative who had stage IV cancer and the doctor told him to get his affairs in order and gave him an estimate of three months. He went on the Ivermectin/Fen Ben protocol and is now completely in remission. I had never known anyone personally who had such benefit from non traditional cancer treatments until now.

I am a pharmacist and I have a patient who had stage 4 lung cancer. He was about to start his third round of chemo with a poor prognosis when he heard about and started fenben. He didn’t tell the physician treating him, or me. Instead, I noticed one day he didn’t come in with his oxygen and he smiled and told me what he had been doing. Said it changed his life. He went from near bed ridden to working in the yard, mowing grass and doing pretty much anything else he wanted to do. The physician has given him the all clear and is still scratching his head about it because he didn’t expect the chemo to work like it did. He still doesn’t know. And my patient is still taking it religiously.

I have two dogs with stage 4 cancer. One has survived 3 years in great health, and she is very old to boot!. The second dog was given weeks to live 3 months ago, and is doing better than ever. No side effects from a FenBen222 every day.

Have advanced prostate cancer since 2015 , had surgery in 2015 , cancer has returned 3 times ,been on hormone therapy for 5 years , this year it stopped working, psa started going up , started taking ivermectin and fenbendazol, psa is now 0.00

I personally know two women that live in my suburb both where diagnose with stage 4 lung cancer (not sure on what type) where given at most 1 year to live. One was 70 and the other mid 60's they both chose not to do chemo and both ended up taken Fen Ben and a few other diet changes they are both cancer free after one year.

My friend called me last week, first time his brain tumor has "shrunk" for the first time.... The only change with him his he is taking those Mushroom drops from the place in the Isle of Wight....

I’ve been taking Fenben and Meben for only 2 months and AREADY seeing decrease in tumour sizes. Oncologists are dumbfounded in my case, my body is experiencing stars 4 cervical c, apparently no cure for this…. I refuse to buy this BS. With God’s grace, it’s reduced!!! Do not ever let them take these drugs away from us.

I know four individuals who have had excellent cancer recovery from taking Fen Ben, including an aunt with an aggressive and rare form. Totally jaw dropping results honestly

My dog is still alive and she is better than this time last year for sure, fenbendazole saved my dog 100% she is still old senile deaf but she is in top form, off up the woods yesterday for a 40 min walk, want to thank John for the information about fenbendazole, if I didn't hear I have no doubt my dog would be dead months ago

Yes- praise the lord for this repurposed drug. My husband was stage 2 colon cancer. 3 months After his Whipple procedure liver mestastisis occurred. Found the Joe Tippens protocol and began taking Fembendazole 7 days a week- 222 mg per day. Within 2 months all spots on liver were gone- and remains cancer free 3 years now! We have added ivermectin too

I combined Ivermectin with Fenben and killed the small cell Carcinoma my Husband was inflicted with . It is completely gone .

July 2019, diagnose with stage IV prostate cancer, given 6 months prognosis, hormone therapy, radiation therapy started immediately, original PSA 1900+. I use an NP here in Idaho who monitors my health and prescribes Menbendazole, ivermectin, doxycycline 60 on/30 off, metformin. 15,000 IUs D3, Zink

      <title>Huge DNA contamination</title>
      <description>Quantification of residual plasmid DNA and SV40 promoter-enhancer sequences in Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna modRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Ontario, Canada

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40913499/

32 vials representing 16 unique vaccine lots. 

These data demonstrate the presence of billions to hundreds of billions of DNA molecules per dose in the modRNA COVID-19 products tested. 

All products tested exceeded the guidelines for residual DNA set by the FDA and WHO of 10ng/dose by 36–627-fold. 

Total DNA in all vials tested

Exceeded the regulatory limit for residual DNA set by the US Food &amp; Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Authorization (WHO) by:

Pfizer: 36-153-fold

Moderna: 112-627-fold

3 Pfizer vials exceeded the regulatory limit for the SV40 promoter-enhancer-ori (p53)

The PCR results for the most recent XBB.1.5 Moderna and Pfizer vaccines suggest that DNA residues have not been reduced from previous vaccine versions. 

Pfizer, Total DNA ranged 
371-1,548 ng/dose

Moderna, 1,130-6,280 ng/dose

Specific DNA of multiple plasmid DNA targets

Pfizer ranged 0.22-7.28 ng/dose

Moderna 0.01-0.78 ng/dose for Moderna. 

The SV40 promoter-enhancer-ori(0.25-23.72 ng/dose) was only detected in Pfizer vials. 

Sequencing of one vial

Mean DNA length, 214 bp

Maximum length, 3.5 kb 

Presence of 1.23 × 108 to 1.60 × 1011 plasmid DNA fragments per dose encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. 

Our findings extend existing concerns about vaccine safety and call into question the relevance of guidelines conceived before the introduction of efficient transfection using LNPs. 

This work highlights the need for regulators and industry to adhere to the precautionary principle and provide sufficient and transparent evidence that products are safe and effective, and disclose the details of their composition and method of manufacture. 

For some of the COVID-19 vaccines, the drug substances released to market were manufactured differently than those used in clinical trials. 

Rationale for study

Manufacturing nucleoside-modified mRNA for commercial COVID-19 vaccines relies on RNA polymerase transcription of a plasmid DNA template. 

Previous studies identified high levels of plasmid DNA in vials of mRNA vaccines, suggesting that the removal of residual DNA template is problematic. 

Therefore, we quantified the DNA load in a limited number of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 modRNA vaccine vials using two independent methods. 

This study emphasizes the importance of methodological considerations when quantifying residual plasmid DNA in modRNA products, 

considering increased LNP transfection efficiency, and cumulative dosing presents significant and unquantified risks to human health.

      <title>Young children deaths from Group A Strep</title>
      <description>Group A strep bacterium causes scarlet fever, which has caused nine UK child deaths this season.


Most likely

Respiratory viral infections

Group A streptococcus

Invasive Group A streptococcus

https://what0-18.nhs.uk

Currently high rates in the UK

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ukhsa-update-on-scarlet-fever-and-invasive-group-a-strep

Higher than normal for the time of year

UK, Notifiable diseases

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/notifiable-diseases-and-causative-organisms-how-to-report#list-of-notifiable-diseases

Week 46, (W/E 19th November) 851 reported cases

(Average is 186 cases)

Close contact, droplets, hands, food

Incubation, 2 to 5 days

Most common, 2 years to 8 years

90% under 10 years

Typically lasts for 7 – 10 days

Rash disappearing in 7 to 10 days

Should ne immune for decades or life

Invasive Group A strep (iGAS)

Rare occasions,

bacteria get into the bloodstream

More cases of iGAS, 

particularly in children under 10

Scarlet fever 

Caused by the bacteria Group A streptococcus

Usually a mild illness

Highly infectious

At increased risk

Elderly

Immunocompromised

Clinical features

Sore throat/tonsillitis

Headache

Fever (temperature of 38°C (100.4°F) or above

Painful, swollen glands in the neck

A red tongue (strawberry tongue)

Rash of scarlet fever

Starts 12 to 48 hours after symptoms

Often begins with small spots on the body,

then spread to the neck, arms and legs over the next 1-2 days. 

Fine, pinkish or red body rash 

It is often 'sand-paper' like to touch (but not itchy)

Darker skin, rash more difficult to see

Sandpapery feel

Diagnosis of scarlet fever / Group A strep less likely

Child who also has a runny nose with their tonsillitis

Antibiotics 

Reduce the chance of infection becoming more severe

Stop spread of infection

Penicillin V

Amoxicillin

(Plenty in the UK)

10 days

Finish the course

Home until at least 24 hours after the starting

Possible complications

Occasionally, Group A streptococcus can spread to other areas of the body,

      <itunes:summary>Group A strep bacterium causes scarlet fever, which has caused nine UK child deaths this season.


Most likely

Respiratory viral infections

Group A streptococcus

Invasive Group A streptococcus

https://what0-18.nhs.uk

Currently high rates in the UK

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ukhsa-update-on-scarlet-fever-and-invasive-group-a-strep

Higher than normal for the time of year

UK, Notifiable diseases

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/notifiable-diseases-and-causative-organisms-how-to-report#list-of-notifiable-diseases

Week 46, (W/E 19th November) 851 reported cases

(Average is 186 cases)

Close contact, droplets, hands, food

Incubation, 2 to 5 days

Most common, 2 years to 8 years

90% under 10 years

Typically lasts for 7 – 10 days

Rash disappearing in 7 to 10 days

Should ne immune for decades or life

Invasive Group A strep (iGAS)

Rare occasions,

bacteria get into the bloodstream

More cases of iGAS, 

particularly in children under 10

Scarlet fever 

Caused by the bacteria Group A streptococcus

Usually a mild illness

Highly infectious

At increased risk

Elderly

Immunocompromised

Clinical features

Sore throat/tonsillitis

Headache

Fever (temperature of 38°C (100.4°F) or above

Painful, swollen glands in the neck

A red tongue (strawberry tongue)

Rash of scarlet fever

Starts 12 to 48 hours after symptoms

Often begins with small spots on the body,

then spread to the neck, arms and legs over the next 1-2 days. 

Fine, pinkish or red body rash 

It is often 'sand-paper' like to touch (but not itchy)

Darker skin, rash more difficult to see

Sandpapery feel

Diagnosis of scarlet fever / Group A strep less likely

Child who also has a runny nose with their tonsillitis

Antibiotics 

Reduce the chance of infection becoming more severe

Stop spread of infection

Penicillin V

Amoxicillin

(Plenty in the UK)

10 days

Finish the course

Home until at least 24 hours after the starting

Possible complications

Occasionally, Group A streptococcus can spread to other areas of the body, 

Tonsillar abscesses

Neck lymph node abscesses

Chest infections (pneumonia)

Bone and joint infections (spetic arthritis)

      <description>Professor Angus Dalgleish, (Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists, Fellow of Medical Science.)

Professor Dalgleish is a highly experienced doctor, physician, medical teacher, medical author and researcher with over 500 primary research publications.

He was also a pioneering researcher into HIV/AIDS.

Here we discuss the recently observed changes in cancer presentations and deaths. Some of the discussion considers this research paper noting excess cancer deaths in Japan.

Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan

https://www.cureus.com/articles/196275-increased-age-adjusted-cancer-mortality-after-the-third-mrna-lipid-nanoparticle-vaccine-dose-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-in-japan#!/

Gibo M, Kojima S, Fujisawa A, et al. (April 08, 2024) Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan. Cureus 16(4): e57860. DOI 10.7759/cureus.57860 

Conclusions

Statistically significant increases in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancer and some specific types of cancer, namely, ovarian cancer, leukemia, prostate, lip/oral/pharyngeal, pancreatic, and breast cancers, were observed in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third or later dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine. 

These particularly marked increases in mortality rates of these ERα-sensitive cancers may be attributable to several mechanisms of the mRNA-LNP vaccination,

rather than COVID-19 infection itself or reduced cancer care due to the lockdown. 

Researchers have reported that the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine may pose the risk of development and progression of cancer.

Several case reports have described cancer developing or worsening after vaccination and discussed possible causal links between cancer and mRNA-LNP vaccination.

Omicron variant, Houston Methodist patients

https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/health-science/2021/12/17/415844/omicron-variant-is-now-responsible-for-nearly-half-of-houston-methodists-covid-19-cases/

https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/health-science/2021/12/15/415577/houston-hospitals-see-a-covid-19-uptick-as-omicron-and-delta-continue-to-spread/

Omicron variant, doubling every two to three days

At least 45% of Methodist’s COVID-19 patients were omicron as of Friday

Wednesday, 32% COVID-19 tests on symptomatic patients

Saturday, (4 days before) 13%

Half of the hospital’s omicron patients have been vaccinated with either two or three doses

Four times as many positive COVID-19 test results since last week

Fueled by the continued spread of the omicron variant

Dr. Marc Boom, Methodist president and CEO

If this spreads so rapidly that there are massive numbers of infected people, 

even if on average they’re very mild, if that hits the vulnerable in our population and they end up hospitalized, that can still be an incredibly challenging time

S. Wesley Long, medical director of diagnostic microbiology

Very likely reach 100% of all COVID-19 cases within the hospital by January

That would be a faster sweep than even the delta variant, which took about a three-month span to sweep prior variants and achieve 100%,

It is also possible that delta remains in some equilibrium with omicron over time

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio

we are seeing a very substantial rise in the number of cases in a way we haven’t seen previously

New York adults had at least one dose, 94%

People with 2 doses, 70% (10% above national rate)

Dr. Anthony Fauci

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fauci-warns-omicron-variant-raging-world-rcna9293

raging around the world

Omicron variant is really something to be reckoned with

Our hospitals, if things look like they're looking now, in the next week or two are going to be very stressed

because, again, we have so many people in this country who are eligible to be vaccinated who have not yet been vaccinated

The hospitalization to case ratio appears to be smaller than delta

We are going to see breakthrough infections, there's no doubt about that

The difference between a vaccinated and boosted person who has an infection and someone who has an infection who's never been vaccinated, 

there's a major difference with regard to the risk of severity

      <title>Chinese vaccine contrasts</title>
      <description>Chinese and Western vaccines compared

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-63855508

Big changes, all of a sudden

Live with the virus

Vice-premier, Sun Chunlan

China entering a new situation

Virus ability to cause disease weakening

Lifting most severe Covid policies

End of quarantine camps

People can isolate at home

No more family separations

Close contacts not taken to camps

Strict ban on blocking fire exits

No need to show tests for venues

Less rules on internal travel

Lateral flow tests to replace PCR tests in most areas

Lockdowns continue in smaller more targeted areas

Foreign travel soon

Cases, 30,000 +

Now

Everyone will be exposed

Will the medical system will be overwhelmed?

National Health Commission

All localities, focus on improving the vaccination rate of people aged 60-79, 

accelerating the vaccination rate of people aged 80 and above, 

and making special arrangements

Prof Ivan Hung, Hong Kong University

The main way for China to exit Covid with the least damage is via vaccination and three doses of vaccination is a must

Hopefully before Chinese New Year (January 22) Rabbit

Sinopharm

Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE)

https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/the-sinopharm-covid-19-vaccine-what-you-need-to-know

The vaccine is safe and effective for all individuals aged 18 and above. 

Individuals may choose to delay vaccination for 3 months following the infection.

An inactivated vaccine with adjuvant

(that is routinely used in many other vaccines)

with a documented good safety profile, including in pregnant women. 

Symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and efficacy against hospitalization 79%

Does it prevent infection and transmission?

No substantive data

Does it work against new variants of SARS-
CoV-2 virus?

SAGE currently recommends using this vaccine

Not yet been evaluated in the context of circulation of widespread variants of concern.

How does this vaccine compare to other vaccines already in use?

We cannot compare the vaccines head-to-head,

(different approaches taken in designing the respective studies)

but overall, all of the vaccines that have achieved WHO Emergency Use Listing,

are highly effective in preventing severe disease and hospitalization due to COVID-19.

      <title>New constructive ivermectin evidence</title>
      <description>A Pilot, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Trial of a Single Oral Dose of Ivermectin for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2

https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4923/17/9/1205

People who took one small oral dose of ivermectin after exposure,

took longer to test positive and had more time alive and free of symptoms.

Multiple reports from in vitro infectious models document Ivermectin’s antiviral properties

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7564151/pdf/cells-09-02100.pdf

Ivermectin has broad-spectrum antiviral activity.

Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled

Single oral dose of Ivermectin as prophylaxis for SARS-CoV-2

Trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a single oral low dose of Ivermectin

Ability to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection?

Ability to reduce symptoms if infection did occur? 

Methods

Asymptomatic community-dwelling adults

Enrolled within 72 h of close contact with a case of SARS-CoV-2.

Single oral 200 µg/kg dose of Ivermectin or placebo. 

65Kg woman given 13mg

80Kg man given 16mg

The primary outcome

Conversion to a positive PCR or RAT test within 14 days of close contact.

Secondary outcomes

(for those who tested positive)

Days alive free of symptoms in the 14 and 28 days following ivermectin

Days from close contact until a positive PCR or RAT

Results

N = 536 (86 met inclusion criteria and were randomised)

68 adhered and were included in the analysis. 

Ivermectin arm

11/36 tested positive

Placebo arm

11/32 tested positive

So, ivermectin did not prevent people testing positive

Days from close contact until a positive PCR or RAT

Increased by 2.3 days in ivermectin group.

P = 0.033

So, ivermectin lengthened the incubation period

Viral load needed to precipitate clinical disease took longer to develop – indicating an antiviral effect.

Infection may have been prevented from primary contact, - indicating an antiviral effect.

Days alive free of symptoms

Increased by 2.5 days in ivermectin group.

P = 0.036

So ivermectin delayed onset of symptoms in people who tested positive

(Longer asymptomatic period)

Controlling included

Age, prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, body mass index, hypertension, lung disease

Conclusions

We did not demonstrate that a single oral low dose of Ivermectin administered to asymptomatic adults within 72 h of close contact with a case of
SARS-CoV-2 prevents conversion to a positive PCR or RAT. 

(may have done with a larger sample size)

Amongst those who did convert to a positive PCR or RAT

Ivermectin significantly lengthened the time from close contact to conversion

Ivermectin increased the number of days alive free of symptoms

More details

Initiation of this trial in late 2021

Discovery in 1975

Massively used around the world

Nobel Prize in 2015

Very low incidence of serious adverse side effects

No instance of resistance reported in over 25 years. 

Ivermectin can bind to and inhibit the nuclear transport roles of the host importin α (IMPα) protein,

which is known to mediate the nuclear import of various viral proteins and key host factors. 

Other quite distinct antiviral actions of Ivermectin have been proposed

High (therapeutic) concentrations collect in the lungs, stable for more than 30 days in cattle

Trial was based on the strong clinical retrospective association of statistically significantly lower mortality in patients who received oral Ivermectin (200 μg/kg) compared with usual care 

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012369220348984

Ivermectin patients 15% mortality

Controls, 25.2% mortality

In subjects with severe pulmonary disease

Ivermectin patients, mortality 38.8%
Controls, 80.7% mortality

      <title>Egregious excess deaths</title>
      <description>Direct link to TV Parliament site, https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/168f642a-5708-4b1a-9857-d8eacf475252
That this House has considered the covid-19 pandemic response and trends in excess deaths; and calls on the covid-19 inquiry to move onto its module 4 investigation into vaccines and therapeutics as soon as possible.

We are witnesses to the greatest medical scandal in this country in living memory, and possibly ever: the excess deaths in 2022 and 2023. Its causes are complex, but the novel and untested medical treatment described as a covid vaccine is a large part of the problem. I have been called an anti-vaxxer, as if I have rejected those vaccines based on some ideology. I want to state clearly and unequivocally that I have not: in fact, I am double vaccinated and vaccine-harmed. Intelligent people must be able to tell when people are neither pro-vax nor anti-vax, but are against a product that does not work and causes enormous harm to a percentage of the people who take it.

I am proud to be one of the few Members of Parliament with a science degree. It is a great shame that there are not more Members with a science background in this place; maybe if there were, there would be less reliance on Whips Office briefings and more independent research, and perhaps less group-think. I say to the House in all seriousness that this debate and others like it are going to be pored over by future generations, who will be genuinely agog that the evidence has been ignored for so long, that genuine concerns were disregarded, and that those raising them were gaslit, smeared and vilified.

One does not need any science training at all to be horrified by officials deliberately hiding key data in this scandal, which is exactly what is going on. The Office for National Statistics used to release weekly data on deaths per 100,000 in vaccinated and unvaccinated populations—it no longer does so, and no one will explain why. The public have a right to that data. There have been calls from serious experts, whose requests I have amplified repeatedly in this House, for what is called record-level data to be anonymised and disclosed for analysis. That would allow meaningful analysis of deaths after vaccination, and settle once and for all the issue of whether those experimental treatments are responsible for the increase in excess deaths.

Far more extensive and detailed data has already been released to the pharma companies from publicly funded bodies. Jenny Harries, head of the UK Health Security Agency, said that this anonymised, aggregate death by vaccination status data is “commercially sensitive” and should not be published. The public are being denied that data, which is unacceptable; yet again, data is hidden with impunity, just like in the Post Office scandal. Professor Harries has also endorsed a recent massive change to the calculation of the baseline population level used by the ONS to calculate excess deaths. It is now incredibly complex and opaque, and by sheer coincidence, it appears to show a massive excess of deaths in 2020 and 2021 and minimal excess deaths in 2023. Under the

Toggle showing location of Column 505
old calculation method, tried and tested for decades, the excess death rate in 2023 was an astonishing 5%—long after the pandemic was over, at a time when we would expect a deficit in deaths because so many people had sadly died in previous years. Some 20,000 premature deaths in 2023 alone are now being airbrushed away through the new normal baseline.

Shocking things happened during the pandemic response. In March 2020, the Government conducted a consultation exercise on whether people over a certain age or with certain disabilities should have “do not resuscitate” orders, known as DNRs, imposed upon them. A document summarising the proposals was circulated to doctors and hospitals; it was mistakenly treated as for

That this House has considered the covid-19 pandemic response and trends in excess deaths; and calls on the covid-19 inquiry to move onto its module 4 investigation into vaccines and therapeutics as soon as possible.

We are witnesses to the greatest medical scandal in this country in living memory, and possibly ever: the excess deaths in 2022 and 2023. Its causes are complex, but the novel and untested medical treatment described as a covid vaccine is a large part of the problem. I have been called an anti-vaxxer, as if I have rejected those vaccines based on some ideology. I want to state clearly and unequivocally that I have not: in fact, I am double vaccinated and vaccine-harmed. Intelligent people must be able to tell when people are neither pro-vax nor anti-vax, but are against a product that does not work and causes enormous harm to a percentage of the people who take it.

I am proud to be one of the few Members of Parliament with a science degree. It is a great shame that there are not more Members with a science background in this place; maybe if there were, there would be less reliance on Whips Office briefings and more independent research, and perhaps less group-think. I say to the House in all seriousness that this debate and others like it are going to be pored over by future generations, who will be genuinely agog that the evidence has been ignored for so long, that genuine concerns were disregarded, and that those raising them were gaslit, smeared and vilified.

One does not need any science training at all to be horrified by officials deliberately hiding key data in this scandal, which is exactly what is going on. The Office for National Statistics used to release weekly data on deaths per 100,000 in vaccinated and unvaccinated populations—it no longer does so, and no one will explain why. The public have a right to that data. There have been calls from serious experts, whose requests I have amplified repeatedly in this House, for what is called record-level data to be anonymised and disclosed for analysis. That would allow meaningful analysis of deaths after vaccination, and settle once and for all the issue of whether those experimental treatments are responsible for the increase in excess deaths.

Far more extensive and detailed data has already been released to the pharma companies from publicly funded bodies. Jenny Harries, head of the UK Health Security Agency, said that this anonymised, aggregate death by vaccination status data is “commercially sensitive” and should not be published. The public are being denied that data, which is unacceptable; yet again, data is hidden with impunity, just like in the Post Office scandal. Professor Harries has also endorsed a recent massive change to the calculation of the baseline population level used by the ONS to calculate excess deaths. It is now incredibly complex and opaque, and by sheer coincidence, it appears to show a massive excess of deaths in 2020 and 2021 and minimal excess deaths in 2023. Under the

Toggle showing location of Column 505
old calculation method, tried and tested for decades, the excess death rate in 2023 was an astonishing 5%—long after the pandemic was over, at a time when we would expect a deficit in deaths because so many people had sadly died in previous years. Some 20,000 premature deaths in 2023 alone are now being airbrushed away through the new normal baseline.

Shocking things happened during the pandemic response. In March 2020, the Government conducted a consultation exercise on whether people over a certain age or with certain disabilities should have “do not resuscitate” orders, known as DNRs, imposed upon them. A document summarising the proposals was circulated to doctors and hospitals; it was mistakenly treated as for<p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

The pills are very different from the antiparasitic medication ivermectin, 

Dubbed PF-07321332, the investigational medication is a protease inhibitor that blocks a key enzyme the SARS-CoV-2 virus needs to replicate itself.

Molnupiravir

While the results have not been published or peer-reviewed, they were compelling enough for the trial’s independent Data Monitoring Committee to recommend an early halt to recruitment into the study. 

Food and Drug Administration, an advisory committee to discuss the application on Nov. 30.

Molnupiravir is a nucleoside analog — a drug that messes up viral replication by tricking the virus into using the processed medication as one of its building blocks for its genetic code. 

This is what’s known as “error catastrophe,” using a mechanism called “lethal mutagenesis.”

Although both drugs are novel, with news of these developments, people on social media are spreading the false notion that the pills are the same or “suspiciously similar” to ivermectin

Some iterations of the claim incorrectly posit that Pfizer’s drug is “based on” ivermectin and that the two are essentially the same because both are protease inhibitors 

— something that has not been established, and even if true, doesn’t mean the drugs are similar, 

That paper, (computational modeling paper published by some Indian scientists in March)

however, does not show that ivermectin acts as a protease inhibitor against SARS-CoV-2 through any sort of biological experiment — it only proposes the possibility based on computer simulations.

1. ca. 33 Jesus is crucified and buried by Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, with 
burial cloth and tomb provided by the latter. Then Jesus rises from the dead. When the
disciples enter the empty tomb, they see the burial cloths according to the Gospels.
2. ca 33-38 The burial cloth of Christ was said to be brought to Edessa by Thomas or
Thaddeus at the request of King Abgar V of Edessa, who was miraculously healed.

Edessa becomes a Christian city. A mosaic tile was made of face on the Shroud, known
as the Keramion, and placed over the city gate. In addition to the Shroud, this tile may
have been the model used for future pictures of Christ.
3. 57 Ma’nu VI becomes king of Edessa and reverts the city to paganism. The Shroud and
the Keramion are hidden in the city walls to protect them from destruction, and the
location was apparently forgotten.
4. 525 The Shroud and the Keramion are rediscovered during the rebuilding of Edessa after
a flood.
5. 544 Edessa is besieged by a Persian army and the Shroud and/or the Keramion
purportedly save the city. Following this, the Hagia Sophia church (named after its
analog in Constantinople) is constructed to house and venerate the Shroud and the
Keramion. The Shroud is shown to the public every Easter, but in an air of secrecy and
mystery.
In this era the appearance of Christ as depicted in Christian art suddenly changes from a
smooth Greco-Roman style to a Semitic man, with the characteristics of the face from the
Shroud and/or the Keramion. Syriac artists become the main source of Christian art.
6. 944 - 1204 The Byzantine emperor, Romanus Lacapenus sends an army to Edessa to
capture the Shroud and bring it to Constantinople as a means of divine protection. The
Shroud was received with great ceremony and paraded through the city – a copy of the
sermon given by on that occasion still exists. The Shroud is kept in the imperial relic
treasury and periodically presented to private audiences.
7. 1204 The knights of the 4th Crusade come to Constantinople, supposedly on their way to
Jerusalem, but due to a complex and unfortunate series of political events, they sack
Constantinople instead. The Shroud is taken by the crusaders.
8. 1204 – 1355 This period is known as the “missing years” of the Shroud. The explanation
with the most documentary evidence is that the Shroud was given to or taken by the
knight Othon de la Roche, a knight from the Burgundy region of France who became the
Lord of Athens in Greece. The Shroud may have been in Greece but was eventually
brought to Besançon, the capital of Burgundy. In any case the Shroud eventually became
the property of Geoffrey de Charny and his family.
Geoffrey de Charny, a Templar and high counselor to King John II of France, and the

Lord of Lirey and Savoisy in France, had built a chapel in Lirey to commemorate his
rescue from the Englis

1. ca. 33 Jesus is crucified and buried by Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, with 
burial cloth and tomb provided by the latter. Then Jesus rises from the dead. When the
disciples enter the empty tomb, they see the burial cloths according to the Gospels.
2. ca 33-38 The burial cloth of Christ was said to be brought to Edessa by Thomas or
Thaddeus at the request of King Abgar V of Edessa, who was miraculously healed.

Edessa becomes a Christian city. A mosaic tile was made of face on the Shroud, known
as the Keramion, and placed over the city gate. In addition to the Shroud, this tile may
have been the model used for future pictures of Christ.
3. 57 Ma’nu VI becomes king of Edessa and reverts the city to paganism. The Shroud and
the Keramion are hidden in the city walls to protect them from destruction, and the
location was apparently forgotten.
4. 525 The Shroud and the Keramion are rediscovered during the rebuilding of Edessa after
a flood.
5. 544 Edessa is besieged by a Persian army and the Shroud and/or the Keramion
purportedly save the city. Following this, the Hagia Sophia church (named after its
analog in Constantinople) is constructed to house and venerate the Shroud and the
Keramion. The Shroud is shown to the public every Easter, but in an air of secrecy and
mystery.
In this era the appearance of Christ as depicted in Christian art suddenly changes from a
smooth Greco-Roman style to a Semitic man, with the characteristics of the face from the
Shroud and/or the Keramion. Syriac artists become the main source of Christian art.
6. 944 - 1204 The Byzantine emperor, Romanus Lacapenus sends an army to Edessa to
capture the Shroud and bring it to Constantinople as a means of divine protection. The
Shroud was received with great ceremony and paraded through the city – a copy of the
sermon given by on that occasion still exists. The Shroud is kept in the imperial relic
treasury and periodically presented to private audiences.
7. 1204 The knights of the 4th Crusade come to Constantinople, supposedly on their way to
Jerusalem, but due to a complex and unfortunate series of political events, they sack
Constantinople instead. The Shroud is taken by the crusaders.
8. 1204 – 1355 This period is known as the “missing years” of the Shroud. The explanation
with the most documentary evidence is that the Shroud was given to or taken by the
knight Othon de la Roche, a knight from the Burgundy region of France who became the
Lord of Athens in Greece. The Shroud may have been in Greece but was eventually
brought to Besançon, the capital of Burgundy. In any case the Shroud eventually became
the property of Geoffrey de Charny and his family.
Geoffrey de Charny, a Templar and high counselor to King John II of France, and the

Lord of Lirey and Savoisy in France, had built a chapel in Lirey to commemorate his
rescue from the Englis

      <description>Ivermectin: How false science created a Covid 'miracle' drug

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58170809

BBC Reality Check

But the BBC can reveal there are serious errors in a number of key studies that the drug's promoters rely on.

but thousands of supporters, many of them anti-vaccine activists, have continued to vigorously campaign for its use.

Members of social media groups swap tips on getting hold of the drug, even advocating the versions used for animals

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01535-y

Large pro-ivermectin Facebook groups have turned into forums for people to find advice on where to buy it, including preparations meant for animals.

The BBC can reveal that more than a third of 26 major trials of the drug for use on Covid have serious errors or signs of potential fraud. 

The group of independent scientists examined virtually every randomised controlled trial (RCT) on ivermectin and Covid

That’s how they all met on Twitter

They've been working together remotely on an informal and voluntary basis during the pandemic. 

Reference please

The BBC can reveal that more than a third of 26 major trials of the drug for use on Covid have serious errors or signs of potential fraud. 

None of the rest show convincing evidence of ivermectin's effectiveness. 

Dr Kyle Sheldrick, one of the group investigating the studies, said they had not found "a single clinical trial" claiming to show that ivermectin prevented Covid deaths that did not contain "either obvious signs of fabrication or errors so critical they invalidate the study".

Out of a total of 26 studies examined, there was evidence in five that the data may have been faked

On top of these flawed trials, there were 14 authors of studies who failed to send data back. 

The independent scientists have flagged this as a possible indicator of fraud. 

The sample of research papers examined by the independent group also contains some high-quality studies from around the world. 

A recent study in Lebanon was found to have blocks of details of 11 patients that had been copied and pasted repeatedly 

they have submitted a retraction to the scientific journal which published it

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34073401/

Study from Iran

Another study from Iran seemed to show that ivermectin prevented people dying from Covid. 

https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-109670/v1

The records of how much iron was in patients' blood contained numbers in a sequence that was unlikely to come up naturally. 

Dr Morteza Niaee, who led the Iran study, defended the results and the methodology and disagreed with problems pointed out to him, 

adding that it was "very normal to see such randomisation" when lots of different factors were considered

Ivermectin is generally considered a safe drug, though there have been some reports of side effects. 

But indirect harm can come from giving people a false sense of security, especially if they choose ivermectin instead of seeking hospital treatment for Covid, or getting vaccinated in the first place.

Some groups regularly contain posts about conspiracy theories of ivermectin cover-ups, as well as pushing anti-vaccine sentiment or encouraging patients to leave hospital if they aren't getting the drug.

Instead of consulting a doctor, she continued with the ivermectin and got home oxygen.

Adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccination on human menstrual cycle characteristics
 
Limited data, relationship, COVID-19 vaccination status and birth rates.

Objectives
 
Nationwide data from the Czech Republic
 
Rates of successful conceptions (SCs)
 
(conceptions leading to live births 9 months later)
 
For women who were either vaccinated or unvaccinated against COVID-19 before SC.

Summary monthly COVID-19 vaccination and birth data
 
Women in the Czech Republic aged 18–39
 
January 2021 to December 2023.

Results
 
1,300,000 women aged 18–39 years in the Czech Republic
 
Proportion of COVID-19-vaccinated women increased from January 2021 until reaching a steady state of around 70% by the end of 2021.
 
At least from June 2021, SCs per 1000 women were considerably lower for women who were vaccinated,
 
compared to those that were unvaccinated, before SC.
 
SC rates for the vaccinated group were much lower than expected based on their proportion of the total population.
 
Conclusions
 
SC rates were substantially lower for women vaccinated against COVID-19 before SC than for those who were not vaccinated.
 
These hypothesis-generating and preliminary results call for further studies of the potential influence of COVID-19 vaccination on human fecundability and fertility.

Dear Mark Zuckerberg,

The BMJ, one of the world’s oldest and most influential general medical journals. 

https://www.bmj.com/about-bmj/history-of-the-bmj

3rd October 1840

Serious concerns about the “fact checking” 

being undertaken by third party providers on behalf of Facebook/Meta.

In September, a former employee of Ventavia, a contract research company helping carry out the main Pfizer covid-19 vaccine trial, began providing The BMJ with dozens of internal company documents, photos, audio recordings, and emails.

These materials revealed a host of poor clinical trial research practices occurring at Ventavia that could impact data integrity and patient safety. 

We also discovered that, despite receiving a direct complaint about these problems over a year ago, the FDA did not inspect Ventavia’s trial sites.

The BMJ commissioned an investigative reporter to write up the story for our journal. 

The article was published on 2 November, (2021) following legal review, external peer review and subject to The BMJ’s usual high level editorial oversight and review.

Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial

But from November 10, readers began reporting a variety of problems when trying to share our article. 

Some reported being unable to share it. 

Many others reported having their posts flagged with a warning about “Missing context … Independent fact-checkers say this information could mislead people.” 

Those trying to post the article were informed by Facebook that people who repeatedly share “false information” might have their posts moved lower in Facebook’s News Feed. 

Group administrators where the article was shared received messages from Facebook informing them that such posts were “partly false.”

Readers were directed to a “fact check” performed by a Facebook contractor named Lead Stories.

Fact Check: The British Medical Journal Did NOT Reveal Disqualifying And Ignored Reports Of Flaws In Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Trials

We find the “fact check” performed by Lead Stories to be inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible.

– It fails to provide any assertions of fact that The BMJ article got wrong

– It has a nonsensical title: “Fact Check: The British Medical Journal Did NOT Reveal Disqualifying And Ignored Reports Of Flaws In Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Trials”

      <title>Vitamin D levels advised </title>
      <description>Read the link to the original paper, 
https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/10/3596

Deficiency of vit D limits the performance of systems resulting in, increased spread of diseases of civilization

Reduced protection against infections

Reduced effectiveness of vaccination
 
Covid fatality rates correlate with,

Elderly, dark, black people, comorbidities, winter

Blood level of 20 ng/mL, (50 nmol/L) sufficient to stop osteomalacia

Preferable, 40–60 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)

Vitamin D3 receptors

Bone

Intestine

Pancreas

Prostate

Immune system cells

Vitamin D is a powerful epigenetic regulator

Influencing more than 2,500 genes

Cancer

Diabetes mellitus

Acute respiratory tract infections

Viral lung infections that cause ARDS

Chronic inflammatory diseases

Autoimmune diseases

Multiple sclerosis

Immunomodulatory properties

Regulating innate and adaptive immune systems

D3 receptors 

Monocytes/macrophages

T cells

B cells

Natural killer (NK) cells

Dendritic cells (DCs)

Supplements

Without calcium supplementation, even very high vitamin D3 supplementation does not cause vascular calcification

Vitamin D3 supplementation in the range of 4000 to 10,000 units (100 to 250 µg) needed to generate an optimal 40–60 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)

has been shown to be completely safe when combined with approximately 200 µg vitamin K2

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamins-and-minerals/vitamin-k/

However, this knowledge is still not widespread in the medical community, and obsolete warnings about the risks of vitamin D3 overdoses unfortunately are still commonly circulating.

ARDS and cytokine release syndrome

Vitamin D3 is able to inhibit the underlying metabolic pathways

Vitamin D3 has a protective role against ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2. 

A rapidly increasing number of publications are investigating the vitamin D3 status of SARS-CoV-2 patients,

and have confirmed low vitamin D levels in cases of severe courses of infection 

and positive results of vitamin D3 treatments 

Conclusions

we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)

to prevent or mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity.

At a time when vaccination was not yet available,

patients with sufficiently high D3 serum levels preceding the infection were highly unlikely to suffer a fatal outcome. 

This correlation should have been good news when vaccination was not available but instead was widely ignored. 

the lower threshold for healthy vitamin D levels should lie at approximately 125 nmol/L or 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D3,

which would save most lives, reducing the impact even for patients with various comorbidities.

This is—to our knowledge—the first study that aimed to determine an optimum D3 level to minimize COVID-19 mortality

Implications for herd immunity

It seems clear that a good immune defense, 

does not prove protection against physical infection 

but rather against its consequences

This “protection” was most effective at ~55 ng/mL

Traditionally living populations in East Africa have a mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration of 115 nmol/l
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of-nutrition/article/traditionally-living-populations-in-east-africa-have-a-mean-serum-25hydroxyvitamin-d-concentration-of-115-nmoll/6188564A01361C5CF5F196229430E475

natural vitamin D3 levels seen among traditional hunter/gatherer lifestyles,

in a highly infectious environment, 

were 110–125 nmol/L (45–50 ng/mL)

WHO advice may not be correct

30 ng/mL D3 value considered by the WHO as the threshold for sufficiency

Future mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, vaccine immune escape

the entire population should raise their serum vitamin D level to a safe level as soon as possible. 

As long as enough vitamin K2 is provided, the suggested D3 levels are entirely safe to achieve by supplementat

      <description>COVID-19 Mortality Risk Correlates Inversely with Vitamin D3 Status, 

a Mortality Rate Close to Zero Could Theoretically Be Achieved at 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D3: (125 nmol/L)

Results of a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/10/3596

Blood calcifediol (25(OH)D3) levels correlate strongly with SARS-CoV-2 infection severity

Cause or effect?

Strength of our immune system,

More or less neglected by the responsible authorities

Nutrition, physical fitness, recreation, sleep

Widespread vitamin D deficiency

Data collected March 2021

Methods

Systematic literature search

Retrospective cohort studies (1)

Clinical studies (7) on COVID-19 mortality rates versus D3 blood levels

Reported D3 blood levels pre-infection or on the day of hospital admission

Mortality rates, corrected for age, sex, and diabetes

Results

Negative Pearson correlation of D3 levels and mortality risk

r = −0.4154, p = 0.0770

r = −0.4886, p = 0.0646

Combined data

Median D3 levels were 23.2 ng/mL (58 nmol/L)

Pearson correlation = −0.3989, p = 0.0194

Regression suggested a theoretical point of zero mortality at approximately 50 ng/mL (125 nmol/L) D3

Conclusions

The datasets provide strong evidence that low D3 is a predictor rather than just a side effect of the infection. 

Despite ongoing vaccinations, we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/mL

      <itunes:summary>COVID-19 Mortality Risk Correlates Inversely with Vitamin D3 Status, 

a Mortality Rate Close to Zero Could Theoretically Be Achieved at 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D3: (125 nmol/L)

Results of a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/10/3596

Blood calcifediol (25(OH)D3) levels correlate strongly with SARS-CoV-2 infection severity

Cause or effect?

Strength of our immune system,

More or less neglected by the responsible authorities

Nutrition, physical fitness, recreation, sleep

Widespread vitamin D deficiency

Data collected March 2021

Methods

Systematic literature search

Retrospective cohort studies (1)

Clinical studies (7) on COVID-19 mortality rates versus D3 blood levels

Reported D3 blood levels pre-infection or on the day of hospital admission

Mortality rates, corrected for age, sex, and diabetes

Results

Negative Pearson correlation of D3 levels and mortality risk

r = −0.4154, p = 0.0770

r = −0.4886, p = 0.0646

Combined data

Median D3 levels were 23.2 ng/mL (58 nmol/L)

      <description>Lower levels of vitamin D, higher rates of death

Association of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations With All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality Among Adult Patients With Existing Cardiovascular Disease

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8496747/

Observational study, non-interventional

Background

Vitamin D, lower levels, common in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD)

Study of patients with existing CVD 

Prospectively examine the associations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations with,

All-cause mortality and,

cause-specific mortality

Methods

N = 37,079 patients with CVD from the UK 

Biobank study

From a prospective cohort of half a million, aged 40–69 years

https://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk

CVD

Coronary heart disease

Atrial fibrillation

Heart failure

Stroke

Results

Among 37,079 patients with CVD at baseline, 57.5% were vitamin D deficient

Deficient, 25[OH]D less than 50 nmol/L (less than 20ng/ml)

Median follow-up of 11.7 years

Deaths that occurred =  6,319 total 

2,161 deaths from CVD

2,230 deaths from cancer

623 deaths from respiratory disease

1,305 other-cause deaths

Non-linear inverse associations

For all-cause mortality

Cancer mortality

Respiratory disease mortality

Other-cause mortality

That is deaths went up as vitamin D levels went down

(P-non-linearity less than 0.01)

Approximately linear inverse associations for CVD

That is deaths went up as vitamin D levels went down

(P-non-linearity = 0.074)

Among CVD patients with vitamin D deficiency

For every 10 nmol/L increment in serum 25(OH)D concentrations,

There was an associated 12% reduced risk for all-cause mortality

There was an associated 9% reduced risk for CVD mortality.

In patients with vitamin D deficiency

Per 10 nmol/L increase in serum 25(OH)D levels,

was associated with a lower risk of mortality from (aHR]; 95% CI)

All-cause 0.88

CVD 0.91

Cancer 0.90

Respiratory diseases 0.81

Other causes 0.81

Multivariable Cox regression models

Age, sex, alcohol, BMI, GFR, education, ethnicity, household income, smoking status, healthy diet score, diabetes (and meds), HbA1c, duration of CVD, blood pressure (and meds), lipid profile (and meds), triglycerides, cholesterol

Conclusion

Among patients with existing CVD,

increasing levels in serum 25(OH)D,

were independently associated with a decreased risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality

These findings suggest that elevated serum 25(OH)D concentration benefits CVD patients with vitamin D deficiency.

Therefore

Patients with vitamin D deficiency may benefit more from an increase in serum levels,

than those with CVD and serum 25(OH)D levels of less than 50 nmol/L (less than 20ng/ml)

Our findings provided novel clues
awaiting further validation in clinical trials.

Imminent drops in infections

Cases could fall to around 5,000 a day before Christmas

Prof John Edmunds, Centre for the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases, LSHTM

Member of SAGE

Our model was projecting that cases would start to decline some time in the autumn. 

However, the model also suggests that cases may start to climb again in the spring, 

due to a combination of waning immunity and increased contacts

Cases currently being driven by high case rates in children

Virus is close to reaching “endemic equilibrium” 

Recent oscillations in case rates will soon level

Rishi Sunak

at the moment the data does not suggest that we should be immediately moving to 'Plan B

Maggie Throup, UK vaccines minister

'Plan A' is working, situation where we need to be

United States

Pfizer for children, 5 to 11, FDA votes for EMU tomorrow

Results are the first from a pivotal trial of any COVID-19 vaccine in children under 12 years of age

In participants 5 to 11 years of age, the vaccine was safe, well tolerated and showed robust neutralizing antibody responses

Phase 2/3 study

United States, Finland, Poland, Spain

Children 6 months to 11 years of age

N = 2,268 5 to 11 years of age

Received a 10 µg dose level in a two-dose regimen

Strong SARS-CoV-2–neutralizing antibody response,

one month after the second dose

Continue to accumulate the safety and efficacy data

Topline readouts for the other two age cohorts from the trial, soon

Children 2-5 years of age

Children 6 months to 2 years of age

About the Phase 1/2/3 Trial in Children

N = 4,500 children ages 6 months to 11 years

More than 90 clinical trial sites

Children under 5 received a 3 µg dose

Trial enrolled children with or without prior evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection

Identified themselves as experiencing persistent symptoms 12 weeks after first infection

A first vaccine dose was associated with an initial 13% decrease in self-reported long COVID,

and a further 9% sustained decrease after receiving the second vaccination

No evidence of differences in self-reported between Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, compared to Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines

Imminent drops in infections

Cases could fall to around 5,000 a day before Christmas

Prof John Edmunds, Centre for the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases, LSHTM

Member of SAGE

Our model was projecting that cases would start to decline some time in the autumn. 

However, the model also suggests that cases may start to climb again in the spring, 

due to a combination of waning immunity and increased contacts

Cases currently being driven by high case rates in children

Virus is close to reaching “endemic equilibrium” 

Recent oscillations in case rates will soon level

Rishi Sunak

at the moment the data does not suggest that we should be immediately moving to 'Plan B

Maggie Throup, UK vaccines minister

'Plan A' is working, situation where we need to be

United States

Pfizer for children, 5 to 11, FDA votes for EMU tomorrow

From first half of November

2 shots, 3 weeks gap

One third of adult dose

25,000 centres signed up for roll out

28 million children in demographic

Results are the first from a pivotal trial of any COVID-19 vaccine in children under 12 years of age

In participants 5 to 11 years of age, the vaccine was safe, well tolerated and showed robust neutralizing antibody responses

20% of covid admissions caused by viral complications

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/12/28/covid-hospital-data-should-treated-caution-many-patients-admitted/

December 21, England

Covid patients in hospital 
= 6,245

Up 259 from previous week

Of the 259, just 45 admitted because of the virus

Of the 259, admitted, 214 for other conditions but having also tested positive

“incidental Covid” admissions
 

Previous week, December 7 to December 14

Majority of hospitalisations were still delta

Primary covid cases were 59% of the 289 weekly rise


People currently in hospital with Covid

“incidental” cases, 1,813 out of 6,245

Highest so far


Sir John Bell, regius professor of medicine, Oxford University

This is not the same disease we were seeing a year ago

The horrific scenes that we saw a year ago – 

intensive care units being full, 

lots of people dying prematurely – 

that is now history in my view and I think…that’s likely to continue

Chris Hopson, the chief executive of NHS Providers

What our guys are saying is that incidental cases are making around 25 to 30 per cent of cases that are arriving, 
but that will vary from place to place

In London you would expect to see higher levels

lower in somewhere like the South West, where community infections are lower

They are seeing an increase in the number of hospital admissions

but it's not precipitous. 

It's not going up in an exponential way 

As the number of cases in the community rises, there are significant levels of incidental cases

But we mustn't forget that having those people in hospital causes complications because of infection control measures

under significant amounts of pressure and are struggling with high numbers of staff absences

 

More cases of incidental Covid compared to previous waves

Dr Raghib Ali, consultant in acute medicine at Oxford University Hospitals, 

There is certainly a smaller proportion of people ending up with Covid pneumonia in intensive care 
Probably half the cases I’ve seen are incidentals
 
You’ve got completely incidental cases, 

someone coming in with a broken leg, who also tests positive for Covid, 

then a third category of older people who have comorbidities. 

Maybe they’ve had a fall or chest pain and also test positive and it's unclear if the virus is having some sort of impact.

And when the prevalence of a virus with relatively mild symptoms is high in the community then you will see higher incidentals

Similar to Gauteng, with 52% incidentals

Transmission within a defined sub-population.
Out of 3,390 cases with known gender, 

99% are men, and there are 45 women. 

Nowcast and growth

Incidence remains low.

Multiple factors in reduction

Vaccination, (moderate confidence)

Behavioural modification, (low confidence)

(Reduction in some other sexually transmitted infections)

Route of transmission

Close or sexual contact

Monkeypox virus has been detected in air and environmental samples

(hospital room of infected patients)

No confirmed instances of airborne transmission

      <title>DNA scientist discusses contamination</title>
      <description>With eminent DNA scientist and virologist, Dr. David J. Speicher.

Quantification of residual plasmid DNA and SV40 promoter-enhancer sequences in Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna modRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Ontario, Canada

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40913499/

32 vials representing 16 unique vaccine lots. 

These data demonstrate the presence of billions to hundreds of billions of DNA molecules per dose in the modRNA COVID-19 products tested. 

All products tested exceeded the guidelines for residual DNA set by the FDA and WHO of 10ng/dose by 36–627-fold. 

Total DNA in all vials tested

Exceeded the regulatory limit for residual DNA set by the US Food &amp; Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Authorization (WHO) by:

Pfizer: 36-153-fold

Moderna: 112-627-fold

3 Pfizer vials exceeded the regulatory limit for the SV40 promoter-enhancer-ori (p53)

The PCR results for the most recent XBB.1.5 Moderna and Pfizer vaccines suggest that DNA residues have not been reduced from previous vaccine versions. 

Pfizer, Total DNA ranged 
371-1,548 ng/dose

Moderna, 1,130-6,280 ng/dose

Specific DNA of multiple plasmid DNA targets

Pfizer ranged 0.22-7.28 ng/dose

Moderna 0.01-0.78 ng/dose for Moderna. 

The SV40 promoter-enhancer-ori(0.25-23.72 ng/dose) was only detected in Pfizer vials. 

Sequencing of one vial

Mean DNA length, 214 bp

Maximum length, 3.5 kb 

Presence of 1.23 × 108 to 1.60 × 1011 plasmid DNA fragments per dose encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. 

Our findings extend existing concerns about vaccine safety and call into question the relevance of guidelines conceived before the introduction of efficient transfection using LNPs. 

This work highlights the need for regulators and industry to adhere to the precautionary principle and provide sufficient and transparent evidence that products are safe and effective, and disclose the details of their composition and method of manufacture. 

For some of the COVID-19 vaccines, the drug substances released to market were manufactured differently than those used in clinical trials. 

Rationale for study

Manufacturing nucleoside-modified mRNA for commercial COVID-19 vaccines relies on RNA polymerase transcription of a plasmid DNA template. 

Previous studies identified high levels of plasmid DNA in vials of mRNA vaccines, suggesting that the removal of residual DNA template is problematic. 

Therefore, we quantified the DNA load in a limited number of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 modRNA vaccine vials using two independent methods. 

This study emphasizes the importance of methodological considerations when quantifying residual plasmid DNA in modRNA products, 

considering increased LNP transfection efficiency, and cumulative dosing presents significant and unquantified risks to human health.

      <title>Increases </title>
      <description>Professor Angus Dalgleish, (Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists, Fellow of Medical Science.)

Professor Dalgleish is a highly experienced doctor, physician, medical teacher, medical author and researcher with over 500 primary research publications.

He was also a pioneering researcher into HIV/AIDS.

Here we discuss the recently observed changes in cancer presentations and deaths. Some of the discussion considers this research paper noting excess cancer deaths in Japan.

Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan

https://www.cureus.com/articles/196275-increased-age-adjusted-cancer-mortality-after-the-third-mrna-lipid-nanoparticle-vaccine-dose-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-in-japan#!/

Gibo M, Kojima S, Fujisawa A, et al. (April 08, 2024) Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan. Cureus 16(4): e57860. DOI 10.7759/cureus.57860 

Conclusions

Statistically significant increases in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancer and some specific types of cancer, namely, ovarian cancer, leukemia, prostate, lip/oral/pharyngeal, pancreatic, and breast cancers, were observed in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third or later dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine. 

These particularly marked increases in mortality rates of these ERα-sensitive cancers may be attributable to several mechanisms of the mRNA-LNP vaccination,

rather than COVID-19 infection itself or reduced cancer care due to the lockdown. 

Researchers have reported that the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine may pose the risk of development and progression of cancer.

Several case reports have described cancer developing or worsening after vaccination and discussed possible causal links between cancer and mRNA-LNP vaccination.

Let’s get the children vaccinated.

Get boosted now

We may not need a variant-specific boost.

(EU, vaccine rollout for five-to-11-year-olds 13th December)

Dissent from Mike Ryan

There is no evidence that I'm aware of 

that will suggest that boosting the entire population is going to necessarily provide any greater protection for otherwise healthy individuals

against hospitalization or death

WHO, coronavirus will keep producing new variants for as long as it is allowed to circulate freely in unvaccinated

My personal intake

4,000 iu vitamin D = 100 micrograms

(with K2 100 micrograms per day)

Both with food

15mg Zinc

The Role of Zinc in Antiviral Immunity

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31305906/

An abundance of evidence has accumulated over the past 50 y to demonstrate the antiviral activity of zinc against a variety of viruses, and via numerous mechanisms. 

Varied, high plant diet

Vitamin C, oranges and tomatoes

Omicron, BF.7, (BA.5.2.1.7)

Sub-lineage of omicron variant BA.5

Main variant spreading in Beijing

https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202211/29/WS63855959a31057c47eba1912.html

Dr. Li, Chief physician, Beijing YouAn Hospital, Department of Infectious Diseases

How infectious is the Omicron subvariant BF.7?

Much more contagious than BA.1, BA.2, BA.5

Stronger immune evasion potential

Shorter incubation period

Faster transmission speed

R0, (basic reproduction number)

Delta strain, 5 to 6

BF.7 10 to 18.6

Most infectious omicron subvariant

causing larger difficulty in epidemic prevention and control

Why does the number of new infections keep growing in Beijing?

People begin viral shedding one day after contract

Second-generation cases may appear within two or three days

(may be missed by testing)

Time for infected people to turn negative is still about seven to 10 days.

In addition

Symptoms are generally mild

Many infections show mild or no symptoms

That's why it's important to find the infected and cut the transmission chain as soon as possible.

Major symptoms

Fever, coughing, sore throat, decreased sense of smell and taste. 

Diarrhea and vomiting (less common)

Asymptomatic cases usually don't need medicine or medical treatment. 

High-risk groups

Elderly

Underlying diseases or weak immunity

Smokers

Obesity 

Later stages of pregnancy

So we will monitor their situations more closely.

Beijing, treats in accordance with symptoms

Antipyretics and painkillers to help patients with fever or coughing. 

High risk to deteriorate, antiviral drugs

Most asymptomatic cases, quarantined at home

Are ordinary medical surgical masks still effective in preventing infection from the more contagious Omicron variant BF.7?

Virus, mainly reproduces in the upper respiratory tract

Able to spread the virus, coughing, speaking loudly

Medical surgical masks are not as airtight and effective as N95 and KN95 masks

Beijing, continue to make prevention and control measures more "scientific, rational, targeted and effective"


 

https://www.who.int/director-general/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing---14-december-2022

As we look to end this emergency, we still need to understand how it began.

We continue to call on China to share the data and conduct the studies that we have requested, to better understand the origins of this virus.

As I have said many times, all hypotheses remain on the table.

One of the most important lessons of the pandemic is that all countries need to strengthen their public health systems to prepare for, prevent, detect and respond rapidly to outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics.

An advanced medical care system is not the same thing as a strong public health system.

One of the other key lessons of the pandemic is the need for much stronger cooperation and collaboration, rather than the competition and confusion that marked the global response to COVID-19.

The global outbreak of mpox

82,000, 110 countries, 65 deaths

Weekly reported cases, declined 90% since July.

Emergency use authorizations

August 31, 2022

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-moderna-pfizer-biontech-bivalent-covid-19-vaccines-use

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration amended the emergency use authorizations (EUAs) of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine,

and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine,

to authorize bivalent formulations,

for use as a single booster dose

Original strain + BA.4 and BA.5 lineages

For each bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, the FDA based its decision on the totality of available evidence, 

including extensive safety and effectiveness data for each of the monovalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, 

safety and immunogenicity data obtained from a clinical study of a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine that contained mRNA from omicron variant BA.1 lineage

that is similar to each of the vaccines being authorized,

Biden administration

Has already placed an order for 170 million doses

https://www.science.org/content/article/omicron-booster-shots-are-coming-lots-questions

Data collected by the companies

Human data, only available BA.1 booster

BA.1 trails did not look for protection against severe disease, (People trials are very expensive)

For the BA.4/BA.5 boosters, the companies have submitted animal data. 

(not released publicly)

Pfizer presented preliminary findings in eight mice given BA.4/BA.5 vaccines as their third dose, (for EMA)

Showed an increased antibody response to all Omicron variants tested: BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4, and BA.5.

Clinical trials for the BA.4/BA.5 vaccines will begin this month

August 19, 2022

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-roundup-august-19-2022

Today, the FDA authorized the emergency use of Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, 

in individuals 12 through 17 years of age. 

This authorization follows a rigorous analysis and evaluation of the safety and effectiveness data conducted by the FDA. 

July 13, 2022

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-emergency-use-novavax-covid-19-vaccine-adjuvanted

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, 

in individuals 18 years of age and older. 

June 17, 2022

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-moderna-and-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-vaccines-children

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine,

in children down to 6 months of age.

December 22, 2021

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-first-oral-antiviral-treatment-covid-19

      <title>Omicron science, promising news</title>
      <description>New science explains South Africa's low rates of omicron severe disease

SARS-CoV-2 spike T cell responses induced upon vaccination or infection remain robust against Omicron

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.26.21268380v1

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.27.21268278v1

Institute of Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine, University of Cape Town 

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has multiple Spike (S) protein mutations

These contribute to escape from the neutralizing antibody responses, 
reducing vaccine protection from infection

We assessed the ability of T cells to react with Omicron spike
In participants who were vaccinated with Ad26.CoV2.S (J and J) (n = 20)

or BNT162b2 (Pfizer) (n = 15

or in unvaccinated convalescent COVID-19 patients (n = 15)

SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells play a key role in modulating COVID-19 severity and provide protective immunity

Results

70-80% of the CD4 and CD8 T cell response to spike was maintained across study groups

The magnitude of Omicron cross-reactive T cells was similar to that of the Beta and Delta variants

These results demonstrate that,
despite Omicron’s extensive mutations

and reduced susceptibility to neutralizing antibodies, 

the majority of T cell response, 

induced by vaccination or natural infection, cross- recognises the variant.
 
Well-preserved T cell immunity to Omicron,

is likely to contribute to protection from severe COVID-19, 

supporting early clinical observations from South Africa. 

Further explanation

The limited effect of Omicron’s mutations on the T cell response suggests that vaccination or prior infection may still provide substantial protection from severe disease. 

Indeed, South Africa has reported a lower risk of hospitalisation and severe disease compared to the previous Delta wave
 
Cross-reactive T cell responses acquired through vaccination or infection may contribute to these apparent milder outcomes for Omicron.
 
The resilience of the T cell response demonstrated here also bodes well in the event that more highly mutated variants emerge in the future.

      <description>Pfizer did not know whether Covid vaccine stopped transmission before rollout

Janine Small
Pfizer’s president of international developed markets
Testifying before the European Union Parliament, Monday 10th October
Dutch MEP Rob Roos
‘Was the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market?
If not, please say it clearly. If yes, are you willing to share the data with this committee? And I really want a straight answer, yes or no, and I’m looking forward to it.”

Ms Small 
“Regarding the question around, um, did we know about stopping the immunisation before it entered the market? No
Therefore
Pfizer Covid vaccine was not tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market

Ms Small 
you know, we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market, 
and from that point of view we had to do everything at risk. 
I think Dr Bourla, even though he’s not here, would turn around and say to you himself, ‘If not us then who?’”
Ms Small said Dr Bourla “actually felt the importance of what was going on in the world, 
and therefore as a result of that, we actually, um, spent $US2 billion, at risk, of self-funded money from Pfizer, 
to be able to research, develop and manufacture at risk, to be able to make sure that we were in a position to be able to help with the pandemic”.
Mr Roos
scandalous
“Millions of people worldwide felt forced to get vaccinated because of the myth that ‘you do it for others’
“Now this turned out to be a cheap lie. This should be exposed.”

Janine Small
Pfizer’s president of international developed markets
Testifying before the European Union Parliament, Monday 10th October
Dutch MEP Rob Roos
‘Was the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market?
If not, please say it clearly. If yes, are you willing to share the data with this committee? And I really want a straight answer, yes or no, and I’m looking forward to it.”

Ms Small 
“Regarding the question around, um, did we know about stopping the immunisation before it entered the market? No
Therefore
Pfizer Covid vaccine was not tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market

Ms Small 
you know, we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market, 
and from that point of view we had to do everything at risk. 
I think Dr Bourla, even though he’s not here, would turn around and say to you himself, ‘If not us then who?’”
Ms Small said Dr Bourla “actually felt the importance of what was going on in the world, 
and therefore as a result of that, we actually, um, spent $US2 billion, at risk, of self-funded money from Pfizer, 
to be able to research, develop and manufacture at risk, to be able to make sure that we were in a position to be able to help with the pandemic”.
Mr Roos
scandalous
“Millions of people worldwide felt forced to get vaccinated because of the myth that ‘you do it for others’
“Now this turned out to be a cheap lie. This should be exposed.”

COVID Vaccine Hesitancy and Risk of a Traffic Crash 

https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(22)00822-1/fulltext

Background

Coronavirus disease (COVID) vaccine hesitancy,

is a reflection of psychology that might also contribute to traffic safety. 

So
People that take covid vaccines are the sort of people who have less traffic accidents

People who do not take covid vaccines are the sort of people who have more traffic accidents

Methods
Population-based longitudinal cohort analysis of adults

Determined COVID vaccination status from electronic medical records

Traffic crashes requiring emergency medical care

Subsequently identified accidents from all (178) hospitals

One month follow-up

Results, (2021)

N = 11,270,763

Total traffic accidents, 6,682

Unvaccinated, 16%

Vaccinated, 84%

Unvaccinated individuals

1,682 traffic crashes (25%)

Equal to a 72% increased relative

Confidence interval, (95%) 63% to 82%

(P less than 0.001)

What about

Socioeconomic status

Alcohol

Sleep apnea

Diabetes

Depression

Dementia

Hypertension

Cancer

Covid infection

Equal to a 48% increase after adjustment

Confidence interval, (95%) 40% to 57%

(P less than 0.001)

The increased risks extended across the spectrum of crash severity

Results similar for Pfizer, Moderna, or other vaccines

Conclusions

These data suggest that COVID vaccine hesitancy is associated with significant increased risks of a traffic crash. 

An awareness of these risks might help to encourage more COVID vaccination.

Factors

Distrust of government

Belief in freedom

Misconceptions of everyday risks

Faith in natural protection

Antipathy toward regulation

Chronic poverty

Exposure to misinformation

Political identity

Negative past experiences

Limited health literacy

Social networks, misgivings around public health guidelines

Primary care physicians who wish to help patients avoid becoming traffic statistics, 

could take the opportunity to stress standard safety reminders such as wearing a seatbelt, obeying speed limits, and never driving drunk

Paramedics, should be aware that unvaccinated patients are overrepresented in the aftermath of a traffic crash.

Driver insurance policies in the future

Together, the findings suggest that unvaccinated adults need to be careful indoors with other people and outside with surrounding traffic.

People were considered unvaccinated for the first 14 days after vaccination

So how many casualties were misclassified?

We know, by all the different measures, that many more people are dying now than were before the pandemic. 
In particular, the impact on people’s hearts, and increasingly younger people’s hearts, deserves attention. The British Heart Foundation reported last June that since the start of the pandemic, 100,000 more people have died than would have been expected. That is surely significant cause for us to take this question seriously.
We know that there are adverse effects from the vaccination. Everybody acknowledges that; it is a question of the extent to which those effects have been manifested. 
I am afraid, is that the MHRA is significantly deficient in the way it operates. The Cumberlege report—this was referenced in the earlier debate—raised concerns about the way treatments are regulated and licensed that have not yet been addressed. 
I am afraid that through the covid episode many of the same concerns were manifested in relation to the vaccines.
We now know that the MHRA knew about the effect of the AstraZeneca vaccine on blood clotting as early as February 2021, but issued a warning about that only some months later—in April, a month after other countries had suspended the AZ vaccine. The MHRA also knew about the prevalence of heart problems and myocarditis in February 2021 but did nothing about it until June that year. In the intervening time, millions of people were vaccinated without the knowledge that the MHRA had. As has been said, we found out recently that Pfizer misrepresented the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. There has been very little comeback against it for that, and no meaningful fine. As we heard, just a few thousands pounds were charged in expenses.
The regulatory system that oversees the pharmaceutical companies is surely deeply conflicted, not least due to being partly funded by the pharmaceutical companies that it was set up to represent. 
It is significant and of concern that they have made so much money out of the vaccines, and so far do not appear to be making due recompense for some of the acknowledged harms— I am not talking about the wilder claims—that their vaccines have been responsible for. Will the Minister enlighten us on whether the indemnities against civil and Government action that the Government awarded to the vaccine manufacturers at the beginning of the production process still apply if it transpires that the companies misled the Government and the public about the safety and efficacy of their product?
The inquiry has been mentioned. There are so many unanswered questions and apparent red flags that it surprises me that the media and Parliament are not more up in arms about excess deaths. 
I am surprised that more attention is not being paid to this question. 
The fact is that this scandal—if it is a scandal—suits no one in high places in our country. 
It is true that we have an inquiry, but as the hon. Member for Blackley and Broughton said, surely it is asking the wrong questions. 
It is very concerning that the module looking at the vaccination programme has been postponed. 
It strikes me that the inquiry is essentially asking the wrong questions; it is really just asking why we did not do more lockdowns quicker. That seems to be its prevailing question for the experts—not whether the whole response was the right one, and crucially, in the light of what we now know, whether the final response of a mass vaccination programme was as safe and effective as was claimed.
We are rightly proud in this country of the effectiveness, speed and operation of the vaccine production and roll-out. It was a triumph of effective collaboration between Government and th

We know, by all the different measures, that many more people are dying now than were before the pandemic. 
In particular, the impact on people’s hearts, and increasingly younger people’s hearts, deserves attention. The British Heart Foundation reported last June that since the start of the pandemic, 100,000 more people have died than would have been expected. That is surely significant cause for us to take this question seriously.
We know that there are adverse effects from the vaccination. Everybody acknowledges that; it is a question of the extent to which those effects have been manifested. 
I am afraid, is that the MHRA is significantly deficient in the way it operates. The Cumberlege report—this was referenced in the earlier debate—raised concerns about the way treatments are regulated and licensed that have not yet been addressed. 
I am afraid that through the covid episode many of the same concerns were manifested in relation to the vaccines.
We now know that the MHRA knew about the effect of the AstraZeneca vaccine on blood clotting as early as February 2021, but issued a warning about that only some months later—in April, a month after other countries had suspended the AZ vaccine. The MHRA also knew about the prevalence of heart problems and myocarditis in February 2021 but did nothing about it until June that year. In the intervening time, millions of people were vaccinated without the knowledge that the MHRA had. As has been said, we found out recently that Pfizer misrepresented the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. There has been very little comeback against it for that, and no meaningful fine. As we heard, just a few thousands pounds were charged in expenses.
The regulatory system that oversees the pharmaceutical companies is surely deeply conflicted, not least due to being partly funded by the pharmaceutical companies that it was set up to represent. 
It is significant and of concern that they have made so much money out of the vaccines, and so far do not appear to be making due recompense for some of the acknowledged harms— I am not talking about the wilder claims—that their vaccines have been responsible for. Will the Minister enlighten us on whether the indemnities against civil and Government action that the Government awarded to the vaccine manufacturers at the beginning of the production process still apply if it transpires that the companies misled the Government and the public about the safety and efficacy of their product?
The inquiry has been mentioned. There are so many unanswered questions and apparent red flags that it surprises me that the media and Parliament are not more up in arms about excess deaths. 
I am surprised that more attention is not being paid to this question. 
The fact is that this scandal—if it is a scandal—suits no one in high places in our country. 
It is true that we have an inquiry, but as the hon. Member for Blackley and Broughton said, surely it is asking the wrong questions. 
It is very concerning that the module looking at the vaccination programme has been postponed. 
It strikes me that the inquiry is essentially asking the wrong questions; it is really just asking why we did not do more lockdowns quicker. That seems to be its prevailing question for the experts—not whether the whole response was the right one, and crucially, in the light of what we now know, whether the final response of a mass vaccination programme was as safe and effective as was claimed.
We are rightly proud in this country of the effectiveness, speed and operation of the vaccine production and roll-out. It was a triumph of effective collaboration between Government and th<p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://megaphone.fm/adchoices">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a></p>]]>

      <description>Rates of successful conceptions according to COVID-19 vaccination status: Data from the Czech Republic

 Observed
 
Adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccination on human menstrual cycle characteristics
 
Limited data, relationship, COVID-19 vaccination status and birth rates.

Objectives
 
Nationwide data from the Czech Republic
 
Rates of successful conceptions (SCs)
 
(conceptions leading to live births 9 months later)
 
For women who were either vaccinated or unvaccinated against COVID-19 before SC.

Summary monthly COVID-19 vaccination and birth data
 
Women in the Czech Republic aged 18–39
 
January 2021 to December 2023.

Results
 
1,300,000 women aged 18–39 years in the Czech Republic
 
Proportion of COVID-19-vaccinated women increased from January 2021 until reaching a steady state of around 70% by the end of 2021.
 
At least from June 2021, SCs per 1000 women were considerably lower for women who were vaccinated,
 
compared to those that were unvaccinated, before SC.
 
SC rates for the vaccinated group were much lower than expected based on their proportion of the total population.
 
Conclusions
 
SC rates were substantially lower for women vaccinated against COVID-19 before SC than for those who were not vaccinated.
 
These hypothesis-generating and preliminary results call for further studies of the potential influence of COVID-19 vaccination on human fecundability and fertility.

      <description>‘a threatening phone call’
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/11/08/how-astrazeneca-vaccine-was-shelved/

8th November 2023

In March 2021, The Telegraph was one of the first newspapers to imply a causal link between the jab and blood clots after Norwegian scientists suggested a possible mechanism. 

On the day we published the story we received a threatening phone call from a senior official at the MHRA warning that The Telegraph would be banned from future briefings and press notices if we did not soften the news.

From FDA to MHRA: are drug regulators for hire?

https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1538

June 2022

Industry money saturates the globe’s leading regulators. 

The BMJ found that the majority of regulators’ budget—particularly the portion focused on drugs—is derived from industry fees

Another well-known Cambridge academic got in touch to complain about our “disgraceful fear-mongering headline” on the story, claiming that it would discourage vaccine uptake and cost lives. 

We politely pointed out that hiding the facts from people was not helpful and could also cost lives. The academic did not respond.
 
In February this year, TikTok removed an audio clip in which I discussed whether the benefit of vaccination was worth the risks for young people, claiming it had breached community guidelines. 

After we showed that the Government’s own website acknowledges the link, the clip was reinstated. 

All of this shows a troubling paternalism in government, academia and some media outlets who believe that the public is not capable of weighing up the pros and cons of medical interventions and so must be shielded from the truth.

      <title>Midazolam mortality</title>
      <description>Excess Deaths in the United Kingdom: Midazolam and Euthanasia in the COVID-19 Pandemic

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377266988_Excess_Deaths_in_the_United_Kingdom_Midazolam_and_Euthanasia_in_the_COVID-19_Pandemic

Citation: Wilson Sy (2024) Excess Deaths in the United Kingdom: Midazolam and Euthanasia in the COVID-19 Pandemic. Medical &amp; Clinical Research, 9(2), 01-21. 

Macro-data during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom (UK) are shown to have significant data anomalies and inconsistencies with existing explanations. 

England 2020

UK spike in deaths, 

wrongly attributed to COVID-19 in April 2020, 

was not due to SARS-CoV-2 virus, 

which was largely absent, 

but was due to the widespread use of Midazolam injections,

which were statistically very highly correlated (coefficient over 90 percent) with excess deaths in all regions of England during 2020. 

Importantly

Excess deaths remained elevated following mass vaccination in 2021, 

but were statistically uncorrelated to COVID injections, 

while remaining significantly correlated to Midazolam injections.

The widespread and persistent use of Midazolam in UK suggests a possible policy of systemic euthanasia. 

Unlike Australia, where assessing the statistical impact of COVID injections on excess deaths is relatively straightforward, 

UK excess deaths were closely associated with the use of Midazolam and other medical intervention. 

The UK iatrogenic pandemic

Caused by euthanasia deaths from Midazolam and also, 

likely caused by COVID injections,

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/374261986_Early_Indication_of_Long-Term_Impact_of_COVID_Injections
 
but their relative impacts are difficult to measure from the data, due to causal proximity of euthanasia. 

Global investigations of COVID-19 epidemiology, 

based only on the relative impacts of COVID disease and vaccination, 

may be inaccurate, due to the neglect of significant confounding factors in some countries.

Laboratory-acquired infections and pathogen escapes worldwide between 2000 and 2021

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(23)00319-1/fulltext

Laboratory-acquired infections (LAIs),

and accidental pathogen escape from laboratory settings (APELS),

are major concerns for the community. 

A risk-based approach for pathogen research management,

within a standard biosafety management framework is recommended,

but is challenging.

due to reasons such as inconsistency,

in risk tolerance and perception.

Here, we performed a scoping review,

using publicly available, peer-reviewed journal and media reports,

of LAIs and instances of APELS between 2000 and 2021.

Laboratory-acquired infections (LAIs)

309 individuals, 94 reports for 51 pathogens. 

Eight fatalities

2·6% of all LAIs

Neisseria meningitidis (n=3, 37·5%)

Yersinia pestis (n=2, 25%)

Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (n=1, 12·5%)

Ebola virus (n=1, 12·5%)

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (n=1, 12·5%)


Accidental pathogen escape from laboratory settings (APELS)

16 APELS were reported

Bacillus anthracis (anthrax)

SARS-CoV

Poliovirus

Brucella spp (brucellosis zoonosis) 

Foot and mouth disease virus

Influenza virus H5N1

Examples

the discovery of historical variola virus ampoules in cold storage during a move of laboratories at the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, MD, USA in July, 2014

the shipment of live anthrax cultures from US Department of Defense laboratories following incomplete inactivation

Lethal Infection of Human ACE2-Transgenic Mice Caused by SARS-CoV-2- related Pangolin Coronavirus GX_P2V(short_3UTR) 

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.01.03.574008v1.full.pdf

SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus GX_P2V can cause 100% mortality in human ACE2-transgenic mice, 

potentially attributable to late-stage brain infection. 

This underscores a spillover risk of GX_P2V into humans

Laboratory-acquired infections and pathogen escapes worldwide between 2000 and 2021

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(23)00319-1/fulltext

Laboratory-acquired infections (LAIs),

and accidental pathogen escape from laboratory settings (APELS),

are major concerns for the community. 

A risk-based approach for pathogen research management,

within a standard biosafety management framework is recommended,

but is challenging.

due to reasons such as inconsistency,

in risk tolerance and perception.

Here, we performed a scoping review,

using publicly available, peer-reviewed journal and media reports,

of LAIs and instances of APELS between 2000 and 2021.

Laboratory-acquired infections (LAIs)

309 individuals, 94 reports for 51 pathogens. 

Eight fatalities

2·6% of all LAIs

Neisseria meningitidis (n=3, 37·5%)

Yersinia pestis (n=2, 25%)

Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (n=1, 12·5%)

Ebola virus (n=1, 12·5%)

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (n=1, 12·5%)


Accidental pathogen escape from laboratory settings (APELS)

16 APELS were reported

Bacillus anthracis (anthrax)

SARS-CoV

Poliovirus

Brucella spp (brucellosis zoonosis) 

Foot and mouth disease virus

Influenza virus H5N1

No country can simply vaccinate its way out of the pandemic

Its not vaccine ‘or’

Its vaccines ‘and’

It makes no sense to give boosters to healthy adults

(when high risk around the world are still wating for their first dose)

Every day there are 6 times more booster doses administered than primary doses in poorer countries

This is a scandal that must stop now

Food and Drug Administration

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-expands-eligibility-covid-19-vaccine-boosters

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/index.html

Amended the emergency use authorizations (EUA) for Moderna and Pfizer

Moderna (half of the primary dose)

A single booster dose for all 18 and older

Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock

helps to provide continued protection against COVID-19, 

including the serious consequences that can occur, 

such as hospitalization and death

At least six months after primary vaccination series

At least two months after Janssen

Data Supporting Effectiveness

Moderna, FDA analysis

Study group
N= 149 from the original clinical studies who received a booster

Controls group
N = 1,055 two-dose series

Result
The antibody response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus 29 days after a booster dose of the vaccine demonstrated a booster response. 

Pfizer-BioNTech

Study group
N= 200 who received a booster

Controls group
Same people, one month after the two-dose primary series

Result
The antibody response demonstrated a booster response.

FDA Evaluation of Benefits and Risks

Additional real-world data,

on the recently increasing number of cases of COVID-19 in the U.S.

and on the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination

The FDA has determined that the benefits of a single booster dose of either the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines

outweigh the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis

in individuals age 18 years of age and older

Both Pfizer and Moderna are conducting post-authorization/post-marketing studies

to assess known serious risks of myocarditis and pericarditis. 

FDA and the CDC have several systems in place to continually monitor COVID-19 vaccine safety

Most commonly reported side effects after a booster

Pain, redness and swelling at the injection site

Fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain and chills

Swollen lymph nodes in the underarm, more frequently following the booster

Restaurants, pubs, all non-essential shops closed

Prevalence UK

On average 1 in 67 people in the UK currently have symptomatic COVID

Professor Tim Spector

In terms of what it means for Christmas, I’m cautiously optimistic for the remainder of the year. 

It’s becoming clear that children and the school holidays play a key role in the waves of infection. 

I think it’s safe to say that we can expect to see another rise in the new year after the holidays. 

I think we’ll be dealing with COVID for the next five years

However, the most important thing we can all do is to get fully vaccinated as soon as possible. 

we need to redefine fully vaccinated as three

I think it’s safe to say that we can expect to see another rise in the new year after the holidays. 

I think we’ll be dealing with COVID for the next five years

However, the most important thing we can all do is to get fully vaccinated as soon as possible.

What is risk information management?

Thinking about risk, what do we mean by absolute risk and relative risk

Sounds a bit like the level of risk can be presented in a way that gives a particular impression of a greater or a lessor risk or benefit?

Are there occasions when a vested interest might want to give an impression of an increased benefit, or reduced risk from an intervention?

How could choosing RRR versus ARR influence the impression given for adverse reactions is medical journals?

Conversely

Are there occasions when a vested interest might want to give an impression of a decreased risk from an intervention?

So will RRR always be higher than ARR?

Why can the RRR vary between populations and vary over time?

So using one of the two measures to estimate the risk/benefit ratio would lead to different conclusions?

How could risk / benefit reporting be optimised in the medical literature?

Do you think the editors of prestigious international journals are aware of the differences between RRR and ARR?

In the case of this paper from the Journal of Expert Reviews of Vaccines

Efficacy and effectiveness of covid-19 vaccine - absolute vs. relative risk reduction

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9115787/

The original phase three data gave an efficacy for Pfizer vaccine, at preventing infection with SARS-CoV-2 of 95%, but it turns out the ARR was 0.84%

Why are these figures so different?

So is it fair to say that the ‘real world translation’ of the ARR of the Pfizer vaccine over 5 to 6 months of use increased to 3.7%?

What do we mean by number needed to treat?

      <title>Important UK vaccine announcment </title>
      <description>Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI)

Children who have had Covid should wait three months to get vaccine

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ukhsa-updates-clinical-guidance-on-vaccinations-for-12-to-17-year-olds

based on the emerging evidence from the UK and other countries, 

which suggests that leaving a longer interval between infection and vaccination may further reduce 

the already small risk of myocarditis in younger age groups

If younger people experience any of the following symptoms after receiving their vaccination, they should call 111 or see their GP:

• pain and/or tightness in the chest which may spread across the body

• pain in the neck that may spread across the shoulders and/or arms

• shortness of breath when lightly exercising or walking

• difficulty breathing when resting or feeling light-headed

• flu-like symptoms such as a high temperature, tiredness and fatigue

• palpitations or an abnormal heart rhythm

• feeling like you need to be sick

Germany

If younger people experience any of the following symptoms after receiving their vaccination, they should call 111 or see their GP:

• pain and/or tightness in the chest which may spread across the body

• pain in the neck that may spread across the shoulders and/or arms

• shortness of breath when lightly exercising or walking

• difficulty breathing when resting or feeling light-headed

• flu-like symptoms such as a high temperature, tiredness and fatigue

• palpitations or an abnormal heart rhythm

• feeling like you need to be sick

      <description>COVID Vaccine Hesitancy and Risk of a Traffic Crash 

https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(22)00822-1/fulltext

Background

Coronavirus disease (COVID) vaccine hesitancy,

is a reflection of psychology that might also contribute to traffic safety. 

So
People that take covid vaccines are the sort of people who have less traffic accidents

People who do not take covid vaccines are the sort of people who have more traffic accidents

Methods
Population-based longitudinal cohort analysis of adults

Determined COVID vaccination status from electronic medical records

Traffic crashes requiring emergency medical care

Subsequently identified accidents from all (178) hospitals

One month follow-up

Results, (2021)

N = 11,270,763

Total traffic accidents, 6,682

Unvaccinated, 16%

Vaccinated, 84%

Unvaccinated individuals

1,682 traffic crashes (25%)

Equal to a 72% increased relative

Confidence interval, (95%) 63% to 82%

(P less than 0.001)

What about

Socioeconomic status

Alcohol

Sleep apnea

Diabetes

Depression

Dementia

Hypertension

Cancer

Covid infection

Equal to a 48% increase after adjustment

Confidence interval, (95%) 40% to 57%

(P less than 0.001)

The increased risks extended across the spectrum of crash severity

Results similar for Pfizer, Moderna, or other vaccines

Conclusions

These data suggest that COVID vaccine hesitancy is associated with significant increased risks of a traffic crash. 

An awareness of these risks might help to encourage more COVID vaccination.

Factors

Distrust of government

Belief in freedom

Misconceptions of everyday risks

Faith in natural protection

Antipathy toward regulation

Chronic poverty

Exposure to misinformation

Political identity

Negative past experiences

Limited health literacy

Social networks, misgivings around public health guidelines

Primary care physicians who wish to help patients avoid becoming traffic statistics, 

could take the opportunity to stress standard safety reminders such as wearing a seatbelt, obeying speed limits, and never driving drunk

Paramedics, should be aware that unvaccinated patients are overrepresented in the aftermath of a traffic crash.

Driver insurance policies in the future

Together, the findings suggest that unvaccinated adults need to be careful indoors with other people and outside with surrounding traffic.

Vaccinated more likely to work remotely in Ontario in 2021

‘Essential workers’ had lower vaccination rates 

(several pile ups in ice and bad weather)

Over 65s do not commute 

So
Staying at home reduces the chances of being in an accident

Patient in emergency department as a driver, passenger, or pedestrian (codes V00-V69)

Total = 6,682

Drivers, 2,856
Passengers, 1,189
Pedestrians, 2,637
(Table 3 of the study)

(Therefore, unvaccinated pedestrians more likely to be in an accidents that vaccinated pedestrians)

People were considered unvaccinated for the first 14 days after vaccination

Given the study only lasted a month, this is half of the time.

So how many casualties were misclassified?

If 602 of the 6,682 were misclassified,

Any difference between the two groups would vanish (Igor Chudov)

42 deaths at scene

This also excluded all sudden deaths that resulted in an accident

      <description>Excess Deaths in the United Kingdom: Midazolam and Euthanasia in the COVID-19 Pandemic

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377266988_Excess_Deaths_in_the_United_Kingdom_Midazolam_and_Euthanasia_in_the_COVID-19_Pandemic

Macro-data during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom (UK) are shown to have significant data anomalies and inconsistencies with existing explanations. 

This paper shows that the UK spike in deaths, wrongly attributed to COVID-19 in April 2020, 

was not due to SARS-CoV-2 virus, which was largely absent, 

but was due to the widespread use of Midazolam injections,

which were statistically very highly correlated (coefficient over 90%) with excess deaths in all regions of England during 2020.

Importantly, excess deaths remained elevated following mass vaccination in 2021, 
but were statistically uncorrelated to COVID injections, while remaining significantly correlated to Midazolam injections. 

The widespread and persistent use of Midazolam in UK suggests a possible policy of systemic euthanasia. 

Unlike Australia, where assessing the statistical impact of COVID injections on excess deaths is relatively straightforward, 

UK excess deaths were closely associated with the use of Midazolam and other medical intervention. 

The iatrogenic pandemic in the UK was caused by euthanasia deaths from Midazolam and also, 

likely caused by COVID injections, 

but their relative impacts are difficult to measure from the data, due to causal proximity of euthanasia. 

Global investigations of COVID-19 epidemiology, based only on the relative impacts of COVID disease and vaccination, may be inaccurate, due to the neglect of significant confounding factors in some countries.

Graphs

April 2020, 98.8% increase 43,796 

January 2021, 29.2% increase 16,546 

Therefore covid is very dangerous,

This interpretation, which is disputable, justified politically the declaration of emergency and all public health measures, including masking, lockdowns, etc. 

Excess deaths and erroneous conclusions

2020, 76,000
2021, 54,000
2022, 45,000

This evidence of “vaccine effectiveness” was illusory, due to incorrect attribution of the 2020 death spike. 

PS

Despite advances in modern information technology, the accuracy of data collection has not advanced in the United Kingdom for over 150 years, 

because the same problems of erroneous data entry found then are still found now in the COVID pandemic, 

not only in the UK but all over the world. 

We have independently discovered the same UK data problem and solution for assessing COVID-19 vaccination as Alfred Russel Wallace had 150 years ago in investigating the consequences of Vaccination Acts starting in 1840 on smallpox: 

The Alfred Russel Wallace as used by Wilson Sy

“Having thus cleared away the mass of doubtful or erroneous statistics,

depending on comparisons of the vaccinated and unvaccinated in limited areas or selected groups of patients, 

we turn to the only really important evidence, those ‘masses of national experience’...”

      <title>Yellow card myocarditis advisory</title>
      <description>Yellow card scheme, Don’t wait for someone else to report it

https://www.gov.uk/drug-safety-update/yellow-card-please-help-to-reverse-the-decline-in-reporting-of-suspected-adverse-drug-reactions

It is estimated that only 10% of serious reactions and between 2 and 4% of non-serious reactions are reported. 

Yellow card government site, just a click away

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-reactions/coronavirus-vaccine-summary-of-yellow-card-reporting

As of 23 November 2022, (UK)

Pfizer/BioNTech, monovalent and bivalent 

177,925 Yellow Cards have been reported

AstraZeneca

246,866 have been reported

Moderna, monovalent and bivalent

47,045 have been reported

Novavax

52 reports

Brand of vaccine was not specified

2,130 reports

Total reports

474,018

Overall reporting rate

Around 2 to 5 Yellow Cards per 1,000 doses administered

In the 28 days

Pfizer/BioNTech, + 2,499 reports

AstraZeneca, + 228

Moderna, + 1,099

Novavax, + 15

Brand not specified, + 154

For all COVID-19 vaccines

injection-site reactions (sore arm for example)

generalised symptoms such as ‘flu-like’ illness

headache, chills, fatigue (tiredness), nausea (feeling sick), fever, dizziness, weakness, aching muscles, rapid heartbeat

they may be reported more frequently in younger adults

Overall, our advice remains that the benefits of the vaccines outweigh the risks in the majority of people. 

The benefits of the vaccines in preventing COVID-19 and serious complications associated with COVID-19 far outweigh any currently known side effects in the majority of patients.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis has been reported in individuals who have received Spikevax. 

Close observation for at least 15 minutes is recommended following vaccination. 

Myocarditis and pericarditis

There is an increased risk for myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination with Spikevax.

Few days, primarily occurred within 14 days,

more often after the second dose,

more often in younger males

risk profile appears to be similar for the second and the third dose

Available data suggest that the course of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination is not different from myocarditis or pericarditis in general.

Healthcare professionals should be alert to the signs and symptoms of myocarditis and pericarditis. 

Vaccinated individuals should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention if they develop symptoms indicative of myocarditis or pericarditis,

such as (acute or persisting) chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations following vaccination.

Healthcare professionals should consult guidance and/or specialists to diagnose and treat this condition.

Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-vaccine/

Everyone aged 5 (on or before 31 August 2022) and over can get a 1st and 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

People aged 16 and over, and some children aged 12 to 15, can also get a booster dose.

      <title>Why mRNA</title>
      <description>Are the Covid-19 drugs produced by Pfizer and Moderna GMOs or genetically modified organisms?

An Australian Federal Court case has evidence to say they are GMOs

Case File Number: VID510/2023

Dr Julian Fidge v. Pfizer Australia Pty Ltd &amp; Moderna Pty Ltd

Dr Fidge is an Australian medical doctor and trained pharmacist.

The case has been brought under the Australian Gene Technology Act 2000

Section 10 of Gene Technology Act defines what a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is.

First, an Organism is:

 ‘any biological entity’

 ‘capable of transferring genetic material’

The Pfizer and Moderna Covid products contain LNP-modRNA complexes

These complexes satisfy being called ‘any biological entity’ under the law

The modRNA is genetic material

The Lipid Nanoparticles or LNPs encapsulate the modRNA and together bio-distribute and transfer the LNP-modRNA complexes throughout the human body

The LNPs then transfect and transfer the modRNA cargo across cell membranes to deliver the modRNA inside cells

By moving the modRNA about the body and then into cells, the LNP-modRNA complexes physically transfer genetic material after injection

So the Organism part of the GMO definition is satisfied by the physical mode of transport of the LNP-modRNA complexes

The next part of the GMO legal definition is – a Genetically Modified Organism is:

 an organism that has been modified by gene technology

The Gene Technology part requires showing:

 any technique for the modification of genes or other genetic material.

Pfizer and Moderna admit they modify genes to create modified RNA or modRNA for their products

The MHRA, EMA, FDA, and TGA when approving the Covid-19 products recognised Pfizer and Moderna use modified nucleosides for the modRNA

In the TGA Australian approval for Pfizer for example, the TGA notes:

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2 mRNA (tradename Comirnaty), comprises a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2.

Pfizer and Moderna create their modified nucleosides in the lab using recombinant techniques

So the Gene Technology part of the GMO legal definition is also satisfied

This means the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 products satisfy the Australian legal definitions for being properly called GMOs

Under the Australian Gene Technology Act anyone who ‘deals’ with a GMO in Australia must be regulated under a GMO licence

Pfizer and Moderna failed to apply for GMO licences in Australia

Dealing with GMOs in Australia without a GMO licence is a serious criminal offense under Section 32 of the Gene Technology Act 2000

In fact the boss of Australia’s Office of the Gene Technology Regulator, or OGTR, recently admitted to an Australian Senate Committee that both the Pfizer and Moderna products are GMOs

No Australian was told by the OGTR or the TGA that they were being asked to receive Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs when getting a Covid-19 injection

This is not just an Australian GMO legal issue

In the United Kingdom Genetically Modified Organisms are dealt with under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and specifically Section 106 under Part VI

The United Kingdom legal definitions for what is regarded as a GMO is almost identical to the Australian legal definitions we just looked at

Like in Australia, the United Kingdom requires new GMOs to be subjected to an extensive Risk Assessment

Even after an extensive Risk Assessment the United Kingdom Secretary of State still has to provide a Consent before a GMO can be introduced into the United Kingdom

The MHRA knew United Kingdom GMO legal definitions applied to Pfizer and Moderna because it is their job to know and they have GMO experts

But both Pfizer and Moderna applied for marketin

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/01/03/fourth-covid-jab-cant-vaccinate-planet-every-six-months-says/

Fourth jabs should not be offered until there is more evidence

Giving boosters to people every six months not sustainable

At some point, society has to open up.
 
When we do open, there will be a period with a bump in infections, which is why winter is probably not the best time.

But that’s a decision for the policy makers, not the scientists. 

Our approach has to switch, 

to rely on the vaccines and the boosters. 

The greatest risk is still the unvaccinated.

The worst is absolutely behind us. 

We just need to get through the winter.

Rapid Antigen tests, SOLD OUT !!! can't get them

A close contact definition, same house, more than 4 hours
 
I could go on for several paragraphs with further details on how crazy it seems to have become down here in Australia

in the coming weeks I would think we will see an explosion in cases here Victoria &amp; especially Melbourne

Vaccine effectiveness against hospital admission in South African health care workers who received a homologous booster of Ad26.COV2 during an Omicron COVID19 wave

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.28.21268436v1.full.pdf

Ad26.COV.2 vaccine

N = 477, 234 HCWs 

6-9 months after first dose

N = 69,092 HCW (evaluated)

VE for hospitalisation (post boost)

Compared to unvaccinated individuals 

0-13 days, 63%

14-27 days, 84%

1-2 months, 85%

JCVI, Sir Andrew Pollard, 

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/01/03/fourth-covid-jab-cant-vaccinate-planet-every-six-months-says/

Fourth jabs should not be offered until there is more evidence

Giving boosters to people every six months not sustainable

At some point, society has to open up.
 
When we do open, there will be a period with a bump in infections, which is why winter is probably not the best time.

But that’s a decision for the policy makers, not the scientists. 

Our approach has to switch, 

to rely on the vaccines and the boosters. 

The greatest risk is still the unvaccinated.

The worst is absolutely behind us. 

We just need to get through the winter.

Misinformation (AZ)

One year ago

Some European leaders

(France and Germany, efficacy on the over-65s, risk of blood clots)

highly likely to have cost lives in Africa

Misinformation risks people’s lives. 

It’s highly likely that people became seriously ill and died becau<p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://megaphone.fm/adchoices">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a></p>]]>

Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce COVID-19 mortality and healthcare demand (16th March 2020)

Imperial College COVID-19 Response Team 

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf

We assumed

Incubation period of 5.1 days

Infectious 12 hours before to 4.6 days after

R0=2.4 

Non-uniform attack, applied to the GB population

Result in an IFR of 0.9% 

with 4.4% of infections hospitalised

10.4 day stay

30% of hospitalised, ICU (50% death rate)

(not accounting for the potential negative effects of health systems being overwhelmed on mortality)

Age-stratified infection fatality rate of COVID-19 in the non-elderly informed from pre-vaccination national seroprevalence studies

Stanford California, Rome, Montreal

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.10.11.22280963v1

40 eligible national seroprevalence studies,

covering 38 countries with pre-vaccination seroprevalence data. 

For 29 countries publicly available age-stratified COVID-19 death data,

and age-stratified seroprevalence information were available,

and were included in the primary analysis. 

IFRs for 0 to 59 years

median IFR = 0.035%

(IQR, 0.013 - 0.056%)

Without accounting for seroreversion

(average time from seroconversion to seroreversion at 3-4 months)

IFRs for 0 to 69 years

IFR = 0.095% 

0 to 19 years

IFR = 0.0003%

20 to 29 years

IFR = 0.003%

30 to 39 years

IFR = 0.011%

40-49 years

IFR = 0.035% 

50-59 years

IFR = 0.129%

60-69 years

IFR = 0.501%

At a global level

Pre-vaccination IFR,

may have been as low as,

0 to 59 years = 0.03%

0 to 69 years = 0.07%

Global population

94% younger than 70 years

91% younger than 65 years

86% younger than 60 years

The current analysis suggests a much lower pre-vaccination IFR in non-elderly populations than previously suggested. 

Large differences did exist between countries and may reflect differences in comorbidities and other factors. 

These estimates provide a baseline from which to fathom further IFR declines with the widespread use of,

Vaccination 

Prior infections

Evolution of new variants.

Unmitigated epidemic
(March 2020)
UK deaths = 510,000 (168,913)

US deaths =  2.2 million (1,065,152)

During 2021 and 2022

Vaccination, new variants, prior infections,

resulted in a marked decline in the IFR

      <title>More harms and inhumanity</title>
      <description>This excellent scientific analysis of recent events continues in interview three of this series. Follow Dr. Craig on SubStack, https://drclarecraig.substack.com
COVID, the untold story. So much more makes sense after this book and my first illuminating discussion with Dr. Craig. Get your copy in the UK here:

Have you ever felt the covid story did not entirely add up? Expired contains multiple eye-opening revelations about covid with compelling evidence that provides a coherent, sober and clear explanation that better fits the data we have so far. 
Meticulous research by pathologist Dr Clare Craig sheds light on the largely overlooked evidence of airborne virus transmission, examining twelve related beliefs on spread, lockdowns, asymptomatic infections, and masks. In addition, Expired champions the importance of Western ethical principles, damaged by pandemic actions and calls for their restoration. 
The covid debate has proved incredibly polarising. One side believed every intervention was saving lives, while the other emphasised the harms caused. Biased modelling based on a worst-case scenario led to fearful assumptions presented as fact. By dint of sheer repetition these ‘facts’ became unquestionable. Those scientists who dared to question were proclaimed dangerous. Welcome to Cloud-Covid-Land.
Let’s bring back nuance. It’s time to return to reality."

      <title>Indemnity examined</title>
      <description>Are the Covid-19 drugs produced by Pfizer and Moderna GMOs or genetically modified organisms?

https://julesonthebeach.substack.com/p/zee-fda-had-zee-science-but-intentionally

https://www.givesendgo.com/GAVAZ

An Australian Federal Court case has evidence to say they are GMOs

Case File Number: VID510/2023

Dr Julian Fidge v. Pfizer Australia Pty Ltd &amp; Moderna Pty Ltd

Dr Fidge is an Australian medical doctor and trained pharmacist.

The case has been brought under the Australian Gene Technology Act 2000

Section 10 of Gene Technology Act defines what a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is.

First, an Organism is:

 ‘any biological entity’

 ‘capable of transferring genetic material’

The Pfizer and Moderna Covid products contain LNP-modRNA complexes

These complexes satisfy being called ‘any biological entity’ under the law

The modRNA is genetic material

The Lipid Nanoparticles or LNPs encapsulate the modRNA and together bio-distribute and transfer the LNP-modRNA complexes throughout the human body

The LNPs then transfect and transfer the modRNA cargo across cell membranes to deliver the modRNA inside cells

By moving the modRNA about the body and then into cells, the LNP-modRNA complexes physically transfer genetic material after injection

So the Organism part of the GMO definition is satisfied by the physical mode of transport of the LNP-modRNA complexes

The next part of the GMO legal definition is – a Genetically Modified Organism is:

 an organism that has been modified by gene technology

The Gene Technology part requires showing:

 any technique for the modification of genes or other genetic material.

Pfizer and Moderna admit they modify genes to create modified RNA or modRNA for their products

The MHRA, EMA, FDA, and TGA when approving the Covid-19 products recognised Pfizer and Moderna use modified nucleosides for the modRNA

In the TGA Australian approval for Pfizer for example, the TGA notes:

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2 mRNA (tradename Comirnaty), comprises a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2.

Pfizer and Moderna create their modified nucleosides in the lab using recombinant techniques

So the Gene Technology part of the GMO legal definition is also satisfied

This means the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 products satisfy the Australian legal definitions for being properly called GMOs

Under the Australian Gene Technology Act anyone who ‘deals’ with a GMO in Australia must be regulated under a GMO licence

Pfizer and Moderna failed to apply for GMO licences in Australia

Dealing with GMOs in Australia without a GMO licence is a serious criminal offense under Section 32 of the Gene Technology Act 2000

In fact the boss of Australia’s Office of the Gene Technology Regulator, or OGTR, recently admitted to an Australian Senate Committee that both the Pfizer and Moderna products are GMOs

No Australian was told by the OGTR or the TGA that they were being asked to receive Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs when getting a Covid-19 injection

This is not just an Australian GMO legal issue

In the United Kingdom Genetically Modified Organisms are dealt with under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and specifically Section 106 under Part VI

The United Kingdom legal definitions for what is regarded as a GMO is almost identical to the Australian legal definitions we just looked at

Like in Australia, the United Kingdom requires new GMOs to be subjected to an extensive Risk Assessment

Even after an extensive Risk Assessment the United Kingdom Secretary of State still has to provide a Consent before a GMO can be introduced into the United Kingdom

The MHRA knew United Kingdom GMO legal definitions applied to Pfizer and Moderna because it is their job to know and they have GMO experts

But both Pfizer and Moderna applied for marketin

An Australian Federal Court case has evidence to say they are GMOs

Case File Number: VID510/2023

Dr Julian Fidge v. Pfizer Australia Pty Ltd &amp; Moderna Pty Ltd

Dr Fidge is an Australian medical doctor and trained pharmacist.

The case has been brought under the Australian Gene Technology Act 2000

Section 10 of Gene Technology Act defines what a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is.

First, an Organism is:

 ‘any biological entity’

 ‘capable of transferring genetic material’

The Pfizer and Moderna Covid products contain LNP-modRNA complexes

These complexes satisfy being called ‘any biological entity’ under the law

The modRNA is genetic material

The Lipid Nanoparticles or LNPs encapsulate the modRNA and together bio-distribute and transfer the LNP-modRNA complexes throughout the human body

The LNPs then transfect and transfer the modRNA cargo across cell membranes to deliver the modRNA inside cells

By moving the modRNA about the body and then into cells, the LNP-modRNA complexes physically transfer genetic material after injection

So the Organism part of the GMO definition is satisfied by the physical mode of transport of the LNP-modRNA complexes

Very mild symptom sets, not even as bad as a normal cold for me, 

and it seemed to be the same for everyone on line.
 
I tested positive and I was surprised, given how mild the symptoms are. 

Slightly blocked feeling, feeling of being  a little ill for one day, slight  headache, no cough or runny nose.  
 
This  surprised me  because I havebeen   practicing  
extreme isolation. 

I live alone (by choice), and only visited the supermarket during off  hours, twice in the past 7-10 days. 
 
Amazing that I got this.
 
I started with 4000 IU of D per day about three or four weeks ago. 

And 15 mcg daily of zinc. 

Who knows this may explain the mild symptom set.

Isolation down to 5 days is asymptomatic

Dr. Rochelle Walensky

The Omicron variant is spreading quickly and has the potential to impact all facets of our society. 

CDC’s updated recommendations for isolation and quarantine balance what we know about the spread of the virus and the protection provided by vaccination and booster doses. 

These updates ensure people can safely continue their daily lives. 

Prevention is our best option: get vaccinated, get boosted, wear a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial and high community transmission, and take a test before you gather.

REVISION TO CONTACT TRACING, QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION PROTOCOLS: 23.12.2021

https://sacoronavirus.co.za/2021/12/24/circular-revision-to-contact-tracing-quarantine-and-isolation-protocols-23-12-2021/

Proportion of people with some immunity from infection and/or vaccination is high,

Past infection in 60-80% in several sero-surveys

Containment strategies are no longer appropriate – mitigation is the only viable strategy

New knowledge about the virus

High proportion of asymptomatic disease

High degree of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic spread

Aerosol spread

Only a small proportion of cases are diagnosed

Testing

Testing skewed towards symptomatic (minority)

Not all symptomatic people test

Not all negative tests are true negatives

Quarantine has been costly
 
Thus, the following is applicable with immediate effect:
 
All contact tracing be stopped with immediate effect,

except in congregate settings and cluster outbreak situations or self-contained

All contacts must continue with their normal duties with heightened monitoring

(daily temperature testing, symptom screening) of any early signs. 

If they develop symptoms then they should be tested and be managed according to the

Very mild symptom sets, not even as bad as a normal cold for me, 

and it seemed to be the same for everyone on line.
 
I tested positive and I was surprised, given how mild the symptoms are. 

Slightly blocked feeling, feeling of being  a little ill for one day, slight  headache, no cough or runny nose.  
 
This  surprised me  because I havebeen   practicing  
extreme isolation. 

I live alone (by choice), and only visited the supermarket during off  hours, twice in the past 7-10 days. 
 
Amazing that I got this.
 
I started with 4000 IU of D per day about three or four weeks ago. 

And 15 mcg daily of zinc. 

Who knows this may explain the mild symptom set.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky

The Omicron variant is spreading quickly and has the potential to impact all facets of our society. 

CDC’s updated recommendations for isolation and quarantine balance what we know about the spread of the virus and the protection provided by vaccination and booster doses. 

These updates ensure people can safely continue their daily lives. 

Prevention is our best option: get vaccinated, get boosted, wear a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial and high community transmission, and take a test before you gather.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/11/15/government-withholding-data-covid-jab-link-excess-deaths/

Public health watchdog has been accused of a “cover-up”

Refusing to publish data that could link Covid vaccine with excess deaths

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)

Argued that releasing date would lead to the “distress” of bereaved relatives (if link discovered).

Risked damaging the well-being and mental health bereaved

of the families and friends of people who died.

And happiness too swiftly flies. 

Thought would destroy their paradise. 

No more; where ignorance is bliss, 

Tis folly to be wise.

Letter to UKHSA and Department for Health

From MPs and peers, 

Potentially critical data had been released to pharmaceutical companies but not public domain.

Date of individuals Covid vaccine doses.

Date of individuals deaths.

Data should be released “on the same anonymised basis that it was shared with the pharmaceutical groups, and there seems to be no credible reason why that should not be done immediately”.

Requested UKHSA release data freedom of information

UKHSA refused

Information Commissioner ruled in the UKHSA’s favour

Why?

Publishing the data “could lead to misinformation”

that would “have an adverse impact on vaccine uptake”

Has committed to a public inquire into excess deaths and vaccine harms

Richard Tice

“We knew there was concern about excess deaths, which is why we called for an inquiry. Instead, the unelected quango UKHSA is involved in a scandalous cover-up of how and why people are dying.

“This is totally unacceptable, and the Health Secretary must overrule them. If we are not prepared to learn lessons about why people are dying, what sort of society are we?”

Ben Kingsley, (UsForThem)

The case “reveals a desperation that this data should not, in any form, see the light of day”.

“It is perverse for UKHSA to argue that this data should not be released because the public could feel distressed or angry if patterns or correlations were to be identified.

“You have to ask yourself why it is that the public are considered incapable of handling this data. 

It reveals a patronising mindset, which also characterised the pandemic response – ‘do what we say, don’t ask any questions, we know what is best for you’.”

we don’t know if the data would reveal any evidence of correlation, let alone causation, but we can see they are desperate to avoid having to answer that question in public.”

Public health watchdog has been accused of a “cover-up”

Refusing to publish data that could link Covid vaccine with excess deaths

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)

Argued that releasing date would lead to the “distress” of bereaved relatives (if link discovered).

Risked damaging the well-being and mental health bereaved

And happiness too swiftly flies.

Tis folly to be wise.

From MPs and peers, 

Potentially critical data had been released to pharmaceutical companies but not public domain.

Data should be released “on the same anonymised basis that it was shared with the pharmaceutical groups, and there seems to be no credible reason why that should not be done immediately”.

Let me move to some of the questions that we must raise and answer today, openly and transparently, and with full access to ONS record-level data. I am not saying that that should be disclosed to all and sundry, but surely the Government cannot defend the position that they are not willing to release that information to interested clinicians and clinical academics as a minimum. Those are the people who need to interrogate the data. It is of little relevance to me—I do not have the means or academic ability to interpret it—but it is something that interested clinical academics should have access to.

Let me move on to what we know about some of the issues surrounding mRNA technology. We know that it does not replicate locally, as we were assured it would do on launch. It metastasises to distant tissue, and replicates spike protein systemically distant from the site of administration. That is problematic for a number of reasons. According to the University of London Professor of Oncology, and principal of the Institute for Cancer Vaccines and Immunotherapy, Professor Angus Dalgleish, this has precipitated various serious and sometimes fatal consequences due to antibody development mediated by the spike protein. I will not go into the detail of that, but at a meeting convened by the hon. Member for North West Leicestershire, Professor Dalgleish told us that the UK Government and their agencies are in serious denial about this issue, resulting in many deaths being poorly understood.

Let me give a couple of examples. Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia is one of the principal causes of blood clot formation, which can cause stroke, pulmonary emboli, and other cardiac-related events including heart attacks, all of which can be life-limiting or fatal. Another antibody linked to the

spike protein exerts an effect on myelin, and is associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome and transverse myelitis, which is a swelling around the spinal cord. Professor Dalgleish believes that that constitutes medical negligence, because the facts are there for all to see. He contends that many deaths are as a direct result of unnecessary vaccination. Furthermore, he advises that there are a greater number of yellow cards in MHRA for covid vaccines than for all other vaccines recorded, and nothing has really been done.

In a recent written answer to me, it was confirmed that the MHRA has received 489,004 spontaneous suspected adverse drug reaction reports relating to the covid-19 vaccine, up to and including 28 February this year. Across the United Kingdom, 2,734 of those reports were associated with a fatal outcome. Of course the true number is unknown—that is the nature of yellow card reporting, as only a fraction of adverse events are reported—and that is probably because of limited public awareness about some of the potential consequences and complications of vaccines, and the well-understood under-reporting of those adverse events. That is important, because the yellow card system is a key element of safe and effective clinical care. If things are not being evaluated properly, I can think of no greater betrayal of the MHRA’s clinical governance responsibility. I suggest that accountability for that must be swift and decisive. The rigorous assessment of these data is essential and must be actioned urgently. Will the Minister now engage with the MHRA and invite it to come to the House to explain the facts on these reports?

Another issue, which arises from a further written question that I tabled, relates to the role of the MHRA. It has a crucial r

Let me move to some of the questions that we must raise and answer today, openly and transparently, and with full access to ONS record-level data. I am not saying that that should be disclosed to all and sundry, but surely the Government cannot defend the position that they are not willing to release that information to interested clinicians and clinical academics as a minimum. Those are the people who need to interrogate the data. It is of little relevance to me—I do not have the means or academic ability to interpret it—but it is something that interested clinical academics should have access to.

Let me move on to what we know about some of the issues surrounding mRNA technology. We know that it does not replicate locally, as we were assured it would do on launch. It metastasises to distant tissue, and replicates spike protein systemically distant from the site of administration. That is problematic for a number of reasons. According to the University of London Professor of Oncology, and principal of the Institute for Cancer Vaccines and Immunotherapy, Professor Angus Dalgleish, this has precipitated various serious and sometimes fatal consequences due to antibody development mediated by the spike protein. I will not go into the detail of that, but at a meeting convened by the hon. Member for North West Leicestershire, Professor Dalgleish told us that the UK Government and their agencies are in serious denial about this issue, resulting in many deaths being poorly understood.

Let me give a couple of examples. Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia is one of the principal causes of blood clot formation, which can cause stroke, pulmonary emboli, and other cardiac-related events including heart attacks, all of which can be life-limiting or fatal. Another antibody linked to the

Toggle showing location of Column 528
spike protein exerts an effect on myelin, and is associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome and transverse myelitis, which is a swelling around the spinal cord. Professor Dalgleish believes that that constitutes medical negligence, because the facts are there for all to see. He contends that many deaths are as a direct result of unnecessary vaccination. Furthermore, he advises that there are a greater number of yellow cards in MHRA for covid vaccines than for all other vaccines recorded, and nothing has really been done.

In a recent written answer to me, it was confirmed that the MHRA has received 489,004 spontaneous suspected adverse drug reaction reports relating to the covid-19 vaccine, up to and including 28 February this year. Across the United Kingdom, 2,734 of those reports were associated with a fatal outcome. Of course the true number is unknown—that is the nature of yellow card reporting, as only a fraction of adverse events are reported—and that is probably because of limited public awareness about some of the potential consequences and complications of vaccines, and the well-understood under-reporting of those adverse events. That is important, because the yellow card system is a key element of safe and effective clinical care. If things are not being evaluated properly, I can think of no greater betrayal of the MHRA’s clinical governance responsibility. I suggest that accountability for that must be swift and decisive. The rigorous assessment of these data is essential and must be actioned urgently. Will the Minister now engage with the MHRA and invite it to come to the House to explain the facts on these reports?

Another issue, which arises from a further written question that I tabled, relates to the role of the MHRA. It has a crucial r

Coronavirus: lessons learned to date 

https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/7496/documents/78687/default/

in 2020 the UK did significantly worse in terms of covid deaths than many countries—especially compared to those in East Asia

The UK’s pandemic planning was too narrowly and inflexibly based on a flu model which failed to learn the lessons from SARS, MERS and Ebola. 

In the first three months the strategy reflected official scientific advice to the Government which was accepted and implemented. 

When the Government moved from the ‘contain’ stage to the ‘delay’ stage, 

that approach involved trying to manage the spread of covid through the population rather than to stop it spreading altogether. 

This amounted in practice to accepting that herd immunity by infection was the inevitable outcome, 

The UK, along with many other countries in Europe and North America made a serious early error in adopting this fatalistic approach 

and not considering a more emphatic and rigorous approach to stopping the spread of the virus as adopted by many East and South East Asian countries. 

The fact that the UK approach reflected a consensus between official scientific advisers and the Government indicates a degree of groupthink 

that was present at the time which meant we were not as open to approaches being taken elsewhere as we should have been.

Molnupiravir, Merck, awaiting EMU

US government at $700 (£515) per course

Analysts at Harvard School of Public Health and King's College Hospital in London have found it costs just $17.74 (£13) to produce.

Despite this, Merck and Ridgeback could earn $7 billion in profits by the end of the year.

That’s about $700 per course. Merck said it expects to make 10 million courses of the drug by the end of 2021, meaning $7 billion in revenue

Coronavirus: lessons learned to date 

https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/7496/documents/78687/default/

in 2020 the UK did significantly worse in terms of covid deaths than many countries—especially compared to those in East Asia

The UK’s pandemic planning was too narrowly and inflexibly based on a flu model which failed to learn the lessons from SARS, MERS and Ebola. 

In the first three months the strategy reflected official scientific advice to the Government which was accepted and implemented. 

When the Government moved from the ‘contain’ stage to the ‘delay’ stage, 

that approach involved trying to manage the spread of covid through the population rather than to stop it spreading altogether. 

This amounted in practice to accepting that herd immunity by infection was the inevitable outcome, 

The UK, along with many other countries in Europe and North America made a serious early error in adopting this fatalistic approach 

and not considering a more emphatic and rigorous approach to stopping the spread of the virus as adopted by many East and South East Asian countries. 

The fact that the UK approach reflected a consensus between official scientific advisers and the Government indicates a degree of groupthink 

that was present at the time which meant we were not as open to approaches being taken elsewhere as we should have been.<p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://megaphone.fm/adchoices">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a></p>]]>

Record infections

Plans to reopen economy

Prime Minister Scott Morrison

We have to stop thinking about case numbers and think about serious illness,

living with the virus, 

managing our own health and ensuring that we're monitoring those symptoms 

and we keep our economy going

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jan/03/all-of-us-are-going-to-be-exposed-to-omicron-queensland-chief-health-officer-warns

Queensland, chief health officer, Dr John Gerrard

Omicron, peak at very large numbers in late January or early February

We are expecting in the next few weeks very substantial numbers of people are going to be infected 

I think we just have to assume that all of us are going to be exposed in the next few weeks

we can expect very large numbers of cases
and in the majority of cases, 

the vast majority of cases, 
the symptoms will be mild
 
So clearly the vaccine is working

Queensland premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk

What we’re doing is telling people to go and get vaccinated. 

We have … given every Queenslander in this state the opportunity to get vaccinated

I’m now urging people in those Indigenous communities to ignore those social media posts and immediately go and get your vaccination

      <title>Vitamin D oversight</title>
      <description>A Statistical Error in the Estimation of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for Vitamin D (2014)

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4210929/

US, nearly 15 times too low

UK, 0ver 22 times too low

IOM calculation

600 units (15 mcg), 97.5% of people will achieve 
63 nmol/L

(25.2 ng/ml)

Correct calculation

600 units (15 mcg), 97.5% of people will achieve 
26.8 nmol/L

(10.7 ng/ml)

Requirements based on correct calculation

8,895 IU of vitamin D per day may be needed to accomplish that 97.5% of individuals achieve serum 25(OH)D values of 50 nmol/L or more. 
The "Average" vs. "Individual" Mistake

Canada studies

Diet gives 232 IU of vitamin D per day

Institute of Medicine (IOM), RDA vitamin D 600 IU per day, (aged 1 to 70 years)

Now called the National Academy of Medicine

UK is even worse

UK, 400 iu or 10 mcg
600 iu per day to achieve serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels of 50 nmol/L or more in 97.5% of healthy individuals.

Levels of 50 nmol/L or more have been shown to benefit bone health and to prevent disease and injury.

The IOM based their RDA for vitamin D on an aggregation of 10 supplementation studies, (32 dose protocols)

carried out during winter months, at locations above 50th parallel

IOM regressed the 32 study averages, dose: plasma ratio

On the basis of this, IOM estimated that 600 IU of vitamin D would achieve an average 25(OH)D level of 63 nmol/L

Requirements based on correct calculation

8,895 IU of vitamin D per day 

This dose is well in excess of the current RDA of 600 IU per day and the tolerable upper intake of 4000 IU per day.

The public health and clinical implications of the miscalculated RDA for vitamin D are serious. 

With the current recommendation of 600 IU, bone health objectives and disease and injury prevention targets will not be met. 

We recommend that the RDA for vitamin D be reconsidered to allow for appropriate public health and clinical decision-making.

The Big Vitamin D Mistake

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5541280/

Explanation of the statistical error

The "Average" vs. "Individual" Mistake

The Institute of Medicine’s goal was to find a vitamin D dose that ensures 97.5% of individual people reach a healthy blood level (50 nmol/L).

The statistical error occurred because the IOM analysed the averages of different studies rather than the data of individual participants.

They looked at 10 studies and took the average blood levels achieved in those studies.

They calculated a statistical range (Confidence Interval) based on those averages.

They found that with 600 IU, 97.5% of the study averages would hit the target.

The Problem

There is much less variation between "averages" than there is between "individuals." 

By using the averages, the IOM accidentally "smoothed out" the data. 

They assumed that if the average person in a study was fine, then almost everyone was fine.

The Classroom Analogy

Imagine you want to ensure every student passes a test.

The IOM method

They looked at the average scores of 30 different classrooms. They set a curriculum so that 97.5% of classrooms would have a passing average.

The Reality

Even in a classroom with a passing average, there are students who fail.

The Correction

To ensure 97.5% of students pass, you have to look at the lowest-performing students, not the class average.

The Consequence

When the authors of this paper re-calculated the numbers using the variation of individuals (rather than study averages), 

they found that the current RDA of 600 IU does not cover 97.5% of the population. 

Instead, it only ensures that 97.5% of people reach a blood level of 26.8 nmol/L (far below the target of 50 nmol/L).

To actually get 97.5% of the population to the healthy target of 50 nmol/L, the math suggests you would need a dose of

We recommend that the RDA for vitamin D be reconsidered to allow for appropriate public health and clinical decision-making.

The Big Vitamin D Mistake

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5541280/

Explanation of the statistical error

The "Average" vs. "Individual" Mistake

The Institute of Medicine’s goal was to find a vitamin D dose that ensures 97.5% of individual people reach a healthy blood level (50 nmol/L).

The statistical error occurred because the IOM analysed the averages of different studies rather than the data of individual participants.

They looked at 10 studies and took the average blood levels achieved in those studies.

They calculated a statistical range (Confidence Interval) based on those averages.

They found that with 600 IU, 97.5% of the study averages would hit the target.

The Problem

There is much less variation between "averages" than there is between "individuals." 

By using the averages, the IOM accidentally "smoothed out" the data. 

They assumed that if the average person in a study was fine, then almost everyone was fine.

The Classroom Analogy

Imagine you want to ensure every student passes a test.

The IOM method

They looked at the average scores of 30 different classrooms. They set a curriculum so that 97.5% of classrooms would have a passing average.

The Reality

Even in a classroom with a passing average, there are students who fail.

The Correction

To ensure 97.5% of students pass, you have to look at the lowest-performing students, not the class average.

The Consequence

When the authors of this paper re-calculated the numbers using the variation of individuals (rather than study averages), 

they found that the current RDA of 600 IU does not cover 97.5% of the population. 

Instead, it only ensures that 97.5% of people reach a blood level of 26.8 nmol/L (far below the target of 50 nmol/L).

To actually get 97.5% of the population to the healthy target of 50 nmol/L, the math suggests you would need a dose of <p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://megaphone.fm/adchoices">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a></p>]]>

      <description>Excess Deaths in the United Kingdom: Midazolam and Euthanasia in the COVID-19 Pandemic

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377266988_Excess_Deaths_in_the_United_Kingdom_Midazolam_and_Euthanasia_in_the_COVID-19_Pandemic

Despite advances in modern information technology, the accuracy of data collection has not advanced in the United Kingdom for over 150 years, 

because the same problems of erroneous data entry found then are still found now in the COVID pandemic, 

not only in the UK but all over the world. 

We have independently discovered the same UK data problem and solution for assessing COVID-19 vaccination as Alfred Russel Wallace had 150 years ago in investigating the consequences of Vaccination Acts starting in 1840 on smallpox: 

The Alfred Russel Wallace as used by Wilson Sy

“Having thus cleared away the mass of doubtful or erroneous statistics,

depending on comparisons of the vaccinated and unvaccinated in limited areas or selected groups of patients, 

we turn to the only really important evidence, those ‘masses of national experience’...” 

https://archive.org/details/b21356336/page/n3/mode/2up

Alfred Russel Wallace, 1880s–1890s

1840 Vaccination Act

Provided free smallpox vaccination to the poor

Banned variolation

Vaccination compulsory in 1853, 1867

Why his interest?

C 1885

The Leicester Anti-Vaccination demonstrations (1885)

Growing public resistance to compulsory vaccination

Wallace’s increasing involvement in social reform and statistical arguments

Statistical critique of vaccination

Government data on:

Smallpox mortality trends before and after compulsory vaccination

Case mortality rates

Vaccination vs. sanitation effects

Mortality trends before and after each Act, 1853 and 1867

“Forty-Five Years of Registration Statistics, Proving Vaccination to Be Both Useless and Dangerous” (1885)

“Vaccination a Delusion; Its Penal Enforcement a Crime” (1898)

Contributions to the Royal Commission on Vaccination (1890–1896)

Wallace argued:

Declining smallpox mortality was due to improved sanitation, not vaccination

Official statistics were misinterpreted or biased

Compulsory vaccination was unjust

Re-vaccination did not reliably prevent outbreaks

These views were strongly disputed, then and now.

Wallace had a strong distrust of medical authority

He and believed in:

Statistical reasoning

Social reform

Opposition to coercive government measures

The primacy of environmental and sanitary conditions in health

      <title>Omicron is displacing delta insights</title>
      <description>Omicron infection also produced immunity against Delta. This means someone who has been infected with delta is largely immune to subsequent delta infection. Therefore delta will soon have no one to infect, therefore will go away.

Omicron infection enhances neutralizing immunity against the Delta variantOmicron infection enhances neutralizing immunity against the Delta variant
 
https://www.ahri.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/MEDRXIV-2021-268439v1-Sigal_corr.pdf

Africa Health Research Institute, Durban, South Africa

Omicron has been shown to be highly transmissible

Omicron has extensive evasion of neutralizing antibody immunity,

elicited by vaccination and previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. 

Omicron infections are rapidly expanding worldwide often in the face of high levels of Delta infections. 

Question

Do omicron antibodies neutralise delta virus variant?

Does neutralizing immunity elicited by Omicron also enhances neutralizing immunity against the Delta variant?

Method

Isolated the omicron and delta virus

Tested these against the plasma of 15 confirmed omicron cases

Used a live virus neutralization assay
(Vero E6 cells were propagated in complete growth medium) 

Calculated the focus reduction neutralization test (FRNT50) 

Volunteers

Previously vaccinated

Unvaccinated individuals who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the Omicron infection wave

Recruited soon after symptom onset
 
We then measured their ability to neutralize both Omicron and Delta virus at enrolment,

versus a median of 14 days after enrolment. 

Neutralization of Omicron increased 14-fold over this time,
 
showing a developing antibody response to omicron

Also
Enhancement of Delta virus neutralization, increased 4.4-fold. 

Therefore

The increase in Delta variant neutralization in individuals infected with Omicron may result in decreased ability of Delta to re-infect

Also

Emerging data indicating that Omicron is less pathogenic than Delta

Therefore

Cross immunity from omicron to delta may have positive implications in terms of decreasing the Covid-burden of severe disease. 

More science
The ability of one variant to elicit immunity which can cross-neutralize another variant varies by variant

Immunity elicited by Delta infection

Does not cross-neutralize Beta virus

Immunity elicited by Beta infection

Does not cross-neutralize Delta well 

Participants in this study

Many probably previously infected

More than half were vaccinated

Therefore  activation of antibody immunity from previous infection and/or vaccination is possible

Implications

These results are consistent with Omicron displacing the Delta variant

As cross immunity makes re-infection with Delta less likely

(But previous delta exposure will not protect from symptomatic omicron infection)

If indeed Omicron is less pathogenic than Delta

The incidence of Covid-19 severe disease would be reduced

Infection may shift to become less disruptive to individuals and society

      <description>Antivirals in Japan

Ivermectin allowed as a treatment on August 13

Doctors can prescribe without restrictions

People can buy it legally from India

Dr. Haruo Ozaki, Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association

https://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/article/123988

The situation is that the whole country is suffering from disasters. 

No one will listen to me, so I will come up with a new policy

The antiparasitic drug "ivermectin" shows the number of infections and deaths of the new corona in a country that is prophylactically administered for another disease in Africa.

It is necessary to thoroughly study the clinical trial, but it seems that we are at the stage where it is okay to have the patient give an informed outlet and get permission to use it

Japan

Population, 126 million

Cases, + 79

Deaths, + 2

Lowest since June 23, 2020

Currently reopening

More than 76% of population is fully vaccinated

(South Korea, high vaccination but uptick in infections)

Boosters to start in December

Ingrained pre-pandemic flu seasons mask wearing

Delta variant wave ends

Delta variant “self-extinction”

Viral genetic mutations

Ituro Inoue, professor, National Institute of Genetics

Delta variant in Japan accumulated too many mutations

Virus’s error-correcting protein, nsp14

Majority of nsp14 specimens in Japan seemed to have undergone many genetic changes in mutation sites called A394V

Non-structural protein, made by the virus

Therefore errors accumulated leading to non-viability

Also

More people in Asia have a defense enzyme called APOBEC3A that attacks RNA viruses, 

Including the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, 

when compared to people in Europe and Africa.

      <description>Are the Covid-19 drugs produced by Pfizer and Moderna GMOs or genetically modified organisms?

https://julesonthebeach.substack.com/p/zee-fda-had-zee-science-but-intentionally

https://www.givesendgo.com/GAVAZ

An Australian Federal Court case has evidence to say they are GMOs

Case File Number: VID510/2023

Dr Julian Fidge v. Pfizer Australia Pty Ltd &amp; Moderna Pty Ltd

Dr Fidge is an Australian medical doctor and trained pharmacist.

The case has been brought under the Australian Gene Technology Act 2000

Section 10 of Gene Technology Act defines what a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is.

First, an Organism is:

 ‘any biological entity’

 ‘capable of transferring genetic material’

The Pfizer and Moderna Covid products contain LNP-modRNA complexes

These complexes satisfy being called ‘any biological entity’ under the law

The modRNA is genetic material

The Lipid Nanoparticles or LNPs encapsulate the modRNA and together bio-distribute and transfer the LNP-modRNA complexes throughout the human body

The LNPs then transfect and transfer the modRNA cargo across cell membranes to deliver the modRNA inside cells

By moving the modRNA about the body and then into cells, the LNP-modRNA complexes physically transfer genetic material after injection

So the Organism part of the GMO definition is satisfied by the physical mode of transport of the LNP-modRNA complexes

The next part of the GMO legal definition is – a Genetically Modified Organism is:

 an organism that has been modified by gene technology

The Gene Technology part requires showing:

 any technique for the modification of genes or other genetic material.

Pfizer and Moderna admit they modify genes to create modified RNA or modRNA for their products

The MHRA, EMA, FDA, and TGA when approving the Covid-19 products recognised Pfizer and Moderna use modified nucleosides for the modRNA

In the TGA Australian approval for Pfizer for example, the TGA notes:

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2 mRNA (tradename Comirnaty), comprises a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2.

Pfizer and Moderna create their modified nucleosides in the lab using recombinant techniques

So the Gene Technology part of the GMO legal definition is also satisfied

This means the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 products satisfy the Australian legal definitions for being properly called GMOs

Under the Australian Gene Technology Act anyone who ‘deals’ with a GMO in Australia must be regulated under a GMO licence

Pfizer and Moderna failed to apply for GMO licences in Australia

Dealing with GMOs in Australia without a GMO licence is a serious criminal offense under Section 32 of the Gene Technology Act 2000

In fact the boss of Australia’s Office of the Gene Technology Regulator, or OGTR, recently admitted to an Australian Senate Committee that both the Pfizer and Moderna products are GMOs

No Australian was told by the OGTR or the TGA that they were being asked to receive Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs when getting a Covid-19 injection

This is not just an Australian GMO legal issue

In the United Kingdom Genetically Modified Organisms are dealt with under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and specifically Section 106 under Part VI

The United Kingdom legal definitions for what is regarded as a GMO is almost identical to the Australian legal definitions we just looked at

Like in Australia, the United Kingdom requires new GMOs to be subjected to an extensive Risk Assessment

Even after an extensive Risk Assessment the United Kingdom Secretary of State still has to provide a Consent before a GMO can be introduced into the United Kingdom

The MHRA knew United Kingdom GMO legal definitions applied to Pfizer and Moderna because it is their job to know and they have GMO experts

But both Pfizer and Moderna applied for marketin

The case has been brought under the Australian Gene Technology Act 2000

Section 10 of Gene Technology Act defines what a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is.

First, an Organism is:

 ‘any biological entity’

 ‘capable of transferring genetic material’

The Pfizer and Moderna Covid products contain LNP-modRNA complexes

These complexes satisfy being called ‘any biological entity’ under the law

The modRNA is genetic material

The Lipid Nanoparticles or LNPs encapsulate the modRNA and together bio-distribute and transfer the LNP-modRNA complexes throughout the human body

The LNPs then transfect and transfer the modRNA cargo across cell membranes to deliver the modRNA inside cells

By moving the modRNA about the body and then into cells, the LNP-modRNA complexes physically transfer genetic material after injection

So the Organism part of the GMO definition is satisfied by the physical mode of transport of the LNP-modRNA complexes

The next part of the GMO legal definition is – a Genetically Modified Organism is:

 an organism that has been modified by gene technology

The Gene Technology part requires showing:

 any technique for the modification of genes or other genetic material.

Pfizer and Moderna admit they modify genes to create modified RNA or modRNA for their products

The MHRA, EMA, FDA, and TGA when approving the Covid-19 products recognised Pfizer and Moderna use modified nucleosides for the modRNA

In the TGA Australian approval for Pfizer for example, the TGA notes:

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2 mRNA (tradename Comirnaty), comprises a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2.

Pfizer and Moderna create their modified nucleosides in the lab using recombinant techniques

So the Gene Technology part of the GMO legal definition is also satisfied

This means the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 products satisfy the Australian legal definitions for being properly called GMOs

Under the Australian Gene Technology Act anyone who ‘deals’ with a GMO in Australia must be regulated under a GMO licence

Pfizer and Moderna failed to apply for GMO licences in Australia

Dealing with GMOs in Australia without a GMO licence is a serious criminal offense under Section 32 of the Gene Technology Act 2000

In fact the boss of Australia’s Office of the Gene Technology Regulator, or OGTR, recently admitted to an Australian Senate Committee that both the Pfizer and Moderna products are GMOs

No Australian was told by the OGTR or the TGA that they were being asked to receive Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs when getting a Covid-19 injection

This is not just an Australian GMO legal issue

In the United Kingdom Genetically Modified Organisms are dealt with under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and specifically Section 106 under Part VI

The United Kingdom legal definitions for what is regarded as a GMO is almost identical to the Australian legal definitions we just looked at

Like in Australia, the United Kingdom requires new GMOs to be subjected to an extensive Risk Assessment

Even after an extensive Risk Assessment the United Kingdom Secretary of State still has to provide a Consent before a GMO can be introduced into the United Kingdom

The MHRA knew United Kingdom GMO legal definitions applied to Pfizer and Moderna because it is their job to know and they have GMO experts

But both Pfizer and Moderna applied for marketin

      <title>Significant UK Moderna partnership</title>
      <description>UK cements 10-year-partnership with Moderna in major boost for vaccines and research

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-cements-10-year-partnership-with-moderna-in-major-boost-for-vaccines-and-research

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/moderna-to-open-vaccine-research-and-manufacturing-centre-in-uk

Moderna to invest in mRNA research and development (R&amp;D) in the UK,

and build a state-of-the-art vaccine manufacturing centre,

with the ability to produce up to 250 million vaccines a year

Suggested advantages

NHS patients will have access to a UK-made supply of COVID-19 jabs,

as well as cutting-edge vaccines developed for other respiratory diseases, 

such as flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)

Create more than 150 jobs

Further future-proof the UK against potential pandemics, 

speedy access to the latest advancements in vaccine technology

UK cements its status as a life sciences superpower.

The partnership with Moderna

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) working with Moderna,

to ensure early vaccine development, 

supporting the G7 mission to get from variant to vaccine in 100 days.

NHS patients access to Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines,

that can protect against multiple variants. 

This is the finalisation of the partnership, 
led by the Vaccine Taskforce.

Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Steve Barclay

It is vital we invest in fighting future variants of this disease, (covid),

as well as other deadly viruses that are circulating, 

such as seasonal flu and RSV, 

and this partnership with Moderna will also strengthen our ability to respond to any future pandemics.

We are also told

Moderna worked closely with the Vaccine Taskforce during the pandemic, 

The company has now committed to invest substantial funding in UK-based research and development activities,

over a 10-year period. 

Perhaps, most concerning of all

This will include running a significant number of clinical trials in the UK

and it has also pledged to fund grants for UK universities, 

including PhD places and research programmes.

Not mentioned in press release

Full explanation as to why the focus is exclusively on mRNA vaccines, rather than tired and tested traditional vaccines.

Why the UK government needs Moderna?

The partnership will issue guarantees that the funding will in no way influence the agenda of the employed scientists.

A graduate student will be awarded his or her PhD, based purely on the quality of the research.

There will be no sanction of scientists that offer alternative views to the prevailing narrative.

Scientists will not be threatened or cajoled in any way.

Within reason, scientists will be able to choose what they want to research, not be ordered into proving a desired concept.

Science will not be used to provide evidence for a development that looks profitable.

Science and medicine will never be subjugated to commercial interests.

There will be independent oversight of the partnership.

If promising none mRNA vaccine looks interesting this will not squashed.

Extensive studies will be carried out on systemic distribution of the mRNA

All organs will be examined for damage caused by systemic distribution of mRNA

Brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen.

Adverse effects on physiological systems will be closely monitored
All results will be published, whether negative or positive.

There will be no publication bias, (where favourable results are published and publicised, while less favourable results are squashed).

Research reports will not be ghost written by Moderna or representatives of the partnership.

The peer review process will have guaranteed anonymity, i.e. will be blind.

Full, anonymised source data will be in the public domain for independent analysis.

All adverse events will be published in full, combined with all relevant pathophysiological data, blood results, clinical ex

      <description>With Dr. Aseem Malhotra, Links to article
https://covid19.onedaymd.com/2025/07/aseem-malhotra-harm-caused-by-covid.html
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/13/aseem-malhotra-interview/
https://doctoraseem.com/its-time-for-the-medical-establishment-to-admit-they-made-a-terrible-mistake/

Ancient wisdom teaches us that evil is rooted in ignorance but as Steven Hawking alluded to, the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge. 

In other words the greatest barrier to the truth is psychological, not intellectual. Two of those major psychological barriers have become most prevalent at an individual, population and institutional level over the past 5 years since the world was turned upside down at the start of the covid pandemic. The first of these which we can all relate to is the emotional phenomenon of fear. Then in a state of fear it impedes one’s ability to engage in critical thinking and simultaneously makes us more compliant to authoritarian rule. 

For example leaked WhatsApp messages (published on the front page of the Daily Telegraph) revealed as regards to covid the Secretary of State’s plan was to “ frighten the pants off the public”. Such tactics replicated by government bodies around the world amplified by the media grossly exaggerated covid risk in the minds of the public. 

For example 30-50% of American’s when surveyed believed their risk of being hospitalised with covid was 50%, when the actual risk was much below 1% even during the worst strain. Cutting through all the noise research from the most cited medical researcher in the world ( someone I describe as the Stephen Hawking of medicine) Professor John Ioannidis revealed that by the end of 2020 in under 70’s the infection fatality rate was 0.05%, in other words 1 in 2000, less than the overall infection fatality rate than the flu at 1 in 1000. 

As the director of health literacy at the Max Planc institute in Berlin, Gerd Gigerenzer has previously stated “ without understanding the numbers involved the public are vulnerable to exploitation of their hopes and fears by political and commercial interests”.

The second psychological barrier to the truth which we are all potentially susceptible to is one of wilful blindness. This is when human beings turn a blind eye to the truth in order to feel safe, avoid conflict, reduce anxiety and to protect prestige and fragile egos. Examples of this on an individual level can be turning a blind eye to the affair of your partner. On an institutional level historical examples include the BBC and Jimmy Saville, Hollywood and Harvey Weinstein, and the Catholic Church and child molestation. 

Why do I mention this? Because it is in my view these psychological barriers ( which I also temporarily suffered from)  that are hindering policy makers, journalists and influential sections of the medical establishment to acknowledge the greatest medical mistake with ongoing catastrophic harm to public health that we will likely witness in our lifetime. 

Yes, I’m talking about the covid mRNA vaccine which in reality is more accurately a prophylactic gene therapy. As someone who took two doses and supported its use for high risk and the elderly on Good Morning Britain in February 2021 my revelation came the hard way. On the 26th of July 2021, my father, Dr Kailash Chand Malhotra OBE,  retired GP and honorary vice president of the British Medical Association, a very fit and healthy man in comparison to his 73 year old peers suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.

Subsequent post mortem confirmed severe coronary artery disease that had significantly accelerated within a few years of having relatively mild disease. As an expert in coronary artery disease and its progression, this didn’t make any sense to me and I even remember angrily blocking someone on twitter who suggested this was because of the covid vaccin

      <description>Common antidepressant, $4 per course and it works

Effect of early treatment with fluvoxamine on risk of emergency care and hospitalisation among patients with COVID-19: the TOGETHER randomised, platform clinical trial
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04727424

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(21)00448-4/fulltext

https://www.togethertrial.com

Background

Potential therapeutic role of fluvoxamine

TOGETHER trial for acutely symptomatic patients

To assess the efficacy of fluvoxamine versus placebo

In preventing hospitalisation 

Methods

Placebo-controlled

Randomised

Double blind

Adaptive platform trial

(Factoring in analyses at key points

So study design parameters like sample size, dosage, or patient selection can be adjusted accordingly)

High-risk symptomatic Brazilian adults

Age ranges and 58% female

Confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2

Within 7 days from first symptoms or diagnosis

Patients from 11 clinical sites in Brazil

Patients were randomly assigned (1:1)

Fluvoxamine (100 mg twice daily for 10 days), n = 741

Placebo, n = 756

Primary outcome

Hospitalisation, retention or transfer

Up to 28 days post-random assignment

Findings, Jan 20 to Aug 5, 2021

The proportion of patients observed in a COVID-19 emergency setting for more than 6 h

Or transferred to a teritary hospital due to COVID-19 (87%)

Lower for the fluvoxamine group compared with placebo

Fluvoxamine group

79 [11%] of 741

Placebo group

119 [16%] of 756

Relative risk 0·68

95% credible interval, 0·52–0·88

Probability of superiority, 99·8%

Fluvoxamine group

17 deaths

Placebo group

25 deaths

Odds ratio [OR] 0·68

95% credible interval, 0·36–1·27

No significant differences in number of treatment emergent adverse events among patients in the fluvoxamine and placebo groups

Fluvoxamine group

84 stopped taking

Placebo group

64 

The absolute number of serious adverse events associated with fluvoxamine was lower than for placebo

this might reflect the modulatory effect of fluvoxamine on systemic inflammation

Mechanism?

Anti-inflammatory

Preventing cytokine storm

Antiplatelet activity

Increasing plasma levels of melatonin

It is now crucial to establish whether a class effect exists?

Interactions with vaccines, improved effect?

      <description>69% higher risk of Alzheimer's for older COVID survivors

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2022/09/possible-69-higher-risk-alzheimers-older-covid-survivors

Older COVID-19 survivors,

69% higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease,

within 1 year of infection

Medical records of 6,245,282 

65 years and older

Medical visits but no previous diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease

February 2020 to May 2021

410,748 participants tested positive for COVID-19

5,834,534 did not test positive

COVID-19 survivors had a 69% higher risk of a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease within 1 year of infection than their uninfected peers

Hazard ratio 1.69; 95% (1.53 to 1.72)

Most at risk

Ages 85 and older, HR = 1.89

Women, HR = 1.82

13th September 2022

Infectious etiology of Alzheimer’s disease, postulated for decades

So, is SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease?

Retrospective cohort study

N = 6,245,282 older adults (age ≥65 years),

People with COVID-19 were at significantly increased risk for new diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease

Within 360 days after the initial COVID-19 diagnosis 

Propensity-score matching

COVID-19 cohort = 0.68%

non-COVID-19 cohort = 0.35%

(hazard ratio or HR:1.69)

TriNetX Analytics Platform

de-identified electronic health records

Over 95 million patients

Inpatient and outpatient visits

68 health care organizations

28% of the US population

50 states, covering diverse geographic, age, race/ethnic, income, and insurance groups 

Our findings call for research to understand the underlying mechanisms and for continuous surveillance of long-term impacts of COVID-19 on Alzheimer’s disease

Not clear whether COVID-19 triggers or accelerates development of Alzheimer's disease

SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with inflammation and central nervous system disorders

Prior infections, especially viral infections, and inflammation

Dr. Pamela Davis

We thought we had turned some of the tide on it by reducing general risk factors such as hypertension, heart disease, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle

Now, so many people in the U.S. have had COVID and the long-term consequences of COVID are still emerging.

It is important to continue to monitor the impact of this disease on future disability

Plan to continue studying the potential effects of COVID-19 on Alzheimer's,

and other neurodegenerative diseases,

whether certain populations may be especially vulnerable

Assess, any drugs could be repurposed to treat COVID-19's long-term effects

      <title>Inconsistent vaccination data </title>
      <description>ONS vaccination data

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19latestinsights/vaccines

In the UK by the end of August 2022, of those aged 12 years and over: 

93.6% had received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine

88.2% had received a second dose 

70.2% had received three or more doses

Therefore 6.4% of over 12s are totally unvaccinated


Weekly national Influenza and COVID-19 surveillance report

Week 41 report (up to week 40 data) 13 October 2022 

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1110820/Weekly_Flu_and_COVID-19_report_w41.pdf

(Page 74)

Cumulative data up to week 40 2022 (week ending 9 October 2022) was extracted from the National Immunisation Management Service (NIMS). 

The vaccine uptake rate, aged 18 and over 

82.5% for dose 1

79.7% for dose 2

65.8% for dose 3

UK, HSA

Therefore 17.5% of over 18s are totally unvaccinated

UK, ONS

Therefore 6.4% of over 12s are totally unvaccinated

Given that vaccination rates are lower in 12 to 18, as compared to over 18s,

We would expect the percentage of unvaccinated in over 12s to be higher.

So his discrepancy is even greater that it appears

Vaccine rates are lower between 12 to 18

(compared to over 18s)

Implications of the Office for National Statistics estimates of Covid-19 vaccine take up in England on the representativeness of its sample population

(October 2022)

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/364310694_Implications_of_the_Office_for_National_Statistics_estimates_of_Covid-19_vaccine_take_up_in_England_on_the_representativeness_of_its_sample_population?channel=doi&amp;linkId=63459d419cb4fe44f31d90fd&amp;showFulltext=true

Most recent vaccine mortality surveillance report the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS),

estimated just 8% of adults in England were unvaccinated by the end of May 2022. 

However, the ONS estimates are based on a special subset of the England population. 

Other independent estimates for the whole of the population in May were higher: 

the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) estimated 20%, 

while a large independent survey by ICM found 26%. 

https://www.icmunlimited.com/our-work/exploring-attitudes-towards-covid-19-vaccinations-for-stv/

Assuming the ONS estimate is correct for its subset of the England population,

and that the other independent estimates of between 20 and 26% for the whole population are also correct,

then between 69% and 99.6% of adults missing from the ONS sample are unvaccinated. 

This would mean the ONS sample is unrepresentative of the whole England population and any conclusions about vaccine take-up, 

efficacy and safety based on the ONS data may not be relevant to the population as a whole.

If the ONS is not underestimating the proportion of unvaccinated in its sample,

then we have shown that the sample is so unrepresentative of the whole population that any inferences made 
about the vaccination programme using the ONS data are worthless.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/364310694_Implications_of_the_Office_for_National_Statistics_estimates_of_Covid-19_vaccine_take_up_in_England_on_the_representativeness_of_its_sample_population?channel=doi&amp;linkId=63459d419cb4fe44f31d90fd&amp;showFulltext=true

Most recent vaccine mortality surveillance report the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS),

estimated just 8% of adults in England were unvaccinated by the end of May 2022. 

However, the ONS estimates are based on a special subset of the England population. 

Other independent estimates for the whole of the population in May were higher: 

the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) estimated 20%, 

while a large independent survey by ICM found 26%. 

https://www.icmunlimited.com/our-work/exploring-attitudes-towards-covid-19-vaccinations-for-stv/

Assuming the ONS estimate is correct for its subset of the England population,

and that the other independent estimates of between 20 and 26% for the whole population are also correct,

then between 69% and 99.6% of adults missing from the ONS sample are unvaccinated. 

This would mean the ONS sample is unrepresentative of the whole England population and any conclusions about vaccine take-up, 

efficacy and safety based on the ONS data may not be relevant to the population as a whole.

If the ONS is not underestimating the proportion of unvaccinated in its sample,

then we have shown that the sample is so unrepresentative of the whole population that any inferences made 
about the vaccination programme using the ONS data are worthless.

        <![CDATA[ONS vaccination data

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19latestinsights/vaccines

In the UK by the end of August 2022, of those aged 12 years and over: 

93.6% had received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine

88.2% had received a second dose 

70.2% had received three or more doses

Therefore 6.4% of over 12s are totally unvaccinated


Weekly national Influenza and COVID-19 surveillance report

Week 41 report (up to week 40 data) 13 October 2022 

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1110820/Weekly_Flu_and_COVID-19_report_w41.pdf

(Page 74)

Cumulative data up to week 40 2022 (week ending 9 October 2022) was extracted from the National Immunisation Management Service (NIMS). 

The vaccine uptake rate, aged 18 and over 

82.5% for dose 1

79.7% for dose 2

65.8% for dose 3

UK, HSA

Therefore 17.5% of over 18s are totally unvaccinated

UK, ONS

Therefore 6.4% of over 12s are totally unvaccinated

Given that vaccination rates are lower in 12 to 18, as compared to over 18s,

We would expect the percentage of unvaccinated in over 12s to be higher.

So his discrepancy is even greater that it appears

Vaccine rates are lower between 12 to 18

(compared to over 18s)

European leaders had all these unfounded concerns about AstraZeneca and its use in older people

If you look at the data, you can see us using it early has been incredibly helpful in terms of protecting older and vulnerable people from this disease for longer

Dr Peter English

People whose immune systems have produced a strong T-cell response but a weaker antibody response might be more likely to be infected in the first place 

but more likely to be able to fight the infection, and they will be much less likely to develop severe disease

It is plausible that this generated an excellent T-cell response, which means that while people can still be infected and infectious, they are unlikely to be seriously unwell

Prof Matthew Snape, Oxford University

The best T-cell responses seem to come if you give a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine followed by Pfizer

      <description>Review of spikes in Neonatal Mortality ordered by Scotland

https://www.healthcareimprovementscotland.org/our_work/governance_and_assurance/programme_resources/neonatal_mortality_in_scotland.aspx

Healthcare Improvement Scotland, asked by Scottish Government

Review of significant increase in neonatal mortality

2021 to 2022

Scottish Government orders review as neonatal deaths higher than expected

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-63097142

Neonatal death rates, two spikes over six-months

September 2021, at least 21 babies under 4 weeks died

March 2022, at least 18 babies under 4 weeks died

Average mortality rate among newborns

Two per 1,000 births.

In September 2021, 4.9 per 1,000 births

March 2020, 4.6 per 1,000 births

For all of 2021, 3.9 infant deaths for every thousand live births

For all of 2020, 3.1

(A preliminary investigation found the September spike was not linked to Covid)

This form of monitoring introduced, July 2017

Dr Sarah Stock, maternal and foetal medicine, University of Edinburgh

https://www.scotsman.com/health/scottish-government-orders-review-as-neonatal-deaths-higher-than-expected-3863538

I think the numbers are really troubling and I don't think we know the reasons why yet.

What we do know it's not neonatal Covid – the rates of Covid-19 infection in babies are very low and deaths from Covid are thankfully very, very small, 

so this isn't Covid affecting babies


Covid Scotland: Vaccines ruled out in neonatal deaths spike

https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/23028843.covid-scotland-vaccines-ruled-cause-neonatal-deaths-spike/?ref=rss

PUBLIC health experts ruled out any link between spikes in neonatal deaths and the Covid vaccine

without checking whether any of the infants' mothers had received the jag during pregnancy.

Experts stressed, no “plausible” link to justify investigating maternal vaccination status. 

Public Health Scotland (PHS) said its consultants had given “careful consideration” to the “potential benefits and harms” of carrying out such as analysis as part of its probe into the tragic deaths of 39 infants, 

but concluded against doing so

PHS added

A risk that “identifying the vaccination status of the mothers, even at aggregate level, 

would result in harm to those individuals and others close to them, 

through actual or perceived judgement of the effects of their personal vaccination decision”

Furthermore

“the outcomes of such analysis, whilst being uninformative for public health decision making, 

had the potential to be used to harm vaccine confidence at this critical time”

PHS response, “We do not have any plans to examine maternal vaccination status, as there is no public health reason to do so”.

NHS logging baby deaths as stillbirths ‘to avoid scrutiny’

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/10/16/nhs-logging-baby-deaths-stillbirths-avoid-scrutiny/

Families call into question trusts’ transparency after hospital accounts clash with their experience

NHS hospitals have claimed that babies born alive were stillborn

prompting accusations they were trying to avoid scrutiny.

Six children who died before they left hospital were wrongly described as stillborn. 

Several of the children lived for minutes and one lived for five days.

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-powers-to-investigate-stillbirths

At present, coroners can only hold inquests for babies who have shown signs of life after being born.

The babies identified by The Telegraph should have been recorded as neonatal deaths, but staff claimed they were stillbirths

‘Our baby was alive for five days but was recorded as a stillbirth’

(Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath) (Alba)

Time is tight, so I will cut to the chase. I pay tribute to the hon. Member for North West Leicestershire (Andrew Bridgen) for his courage and determination on this important matter. I also challenge the right hon. Member for Knowsley (Sir George Howarth) on his assertion that these were so-called experts at that meeting. They are world-renowned experts in their field; that is just a matter of observable fact.

I want to focus on the safe use of novel mRNA agents and on concerns over their alleged role in driving excess deaths. I repeat a point that I have made previously in this place and directly with the Minister: any agent has the potential to cause harm or injury to the subject. For the avoidance of doubt, the position I have taken is based on decades of involvement in the management and delivery of clinical trials. Politicians who dismiss the data and emerging clinical evidence are acting in a wholly irresponsible manner, and posing a real threat to the duties of honesty and candour at the heart of good clinical practice. If substantiated, the concerns surfacing around falsified or concealed data are the most serious that I can imagine.

I have worked in the same institution as Professor Dalgleish, and his credentials are impeccable.

Addressing this matter is necessary because we are talking about the standards on which good clinical practice, or GCP, is based. GCP is not about a nice bedside manner or knowing what treatment to prescribe; it is a set of internationally recognised ethical and scientific requirements, which must be followed when designing, conducting, recording and reporting on clinical trials that involve people, and have their origin in the declaration of Helsinki.

The rights, safety and wellbeing of trial subjects are the most important consideration, which should prevail over interests of science and society, including commercial or political interests, and I will conclude with a reflection on that important principle. The foundation of good clinical practice is under threat. In their December 2023 pathology research and practice paper on gene-based covid-19 vaccines, Rhodes and Parry gave the following warning:

“Pandemic management requires societal coordination, global orchestration, respect for human rights and defence of ethical principles. Yet some approaches to the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by socioeconomic, corporate, and political interests, have undermined key pillars of ethical medical science.”

None of these clinical experts are quacks or conspiracy theorists. As the Government said so often during the pandemic, we must follow the science

Within days, she was unbearably sensitive to light and struggled to remember simple facts.

Diagnosed with brain damage, cannot work, drive or stand for long periods of time.

‘devastation of what this has done to my life, and how much I’ve lost’

Dr. Janet Woodcock, retired, FDA

some recipients, uncommon but “serious” and “life-changing” reactions beyond those described by federal agencies.
 
“I feel bad for those people,”

“I believe their suffering should be acknowledged, that they have real problems, and they should be taken seriously.”

“I’m disappointed in myself,”

“I did a lot of things I feel very good about, but this is one of the few things I feel I just didn’t bring it home.”

Article then comments on disparate US health care systems

No central repository of vaccine recipients

Government’s compensation fund, officially recognizes few side effects for Covid vaccines. 

And vaccine supporters, including federal officials, worry that even a whisper of possible side effects feeds into misinformation spread by a vitriolic anti-vaccine movement.

      <title>Secret Genetically Modified Organisms</title>
      <description>Are the Covid-19 drugs produced by Pfizer and Moderna GMOs or genetically modified organisms?

https://julesonthebeach.substack.com/p/zee-fda-had-zee-science-but-intentionally

https://www.givesendgo.com/GAVAZ

An Australian Federal Court case has evidence to say they are GMOs

Case File Number: VID510/2023

Dr Julian Fidge v. Pfizer Australia Pty Ltd &amp; Moderna Pty Ltd

Dr Fidge is an Australian medical doctor and trained pharmacist.

The case has been brought under the Australian Gene Technology Act 2000

Section 10 of Gene Technology Act defines what a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is.

First, an Organism is:

 ‘any biological entity’

 ‘capable of transferring genetic material’

The Pfizer and Moderna Covid products contain LNP-modRNA complexes

These complexes satisfy being called ‘any biological entity’ under the law

The modRNA is genetic material

The Lipid Nanoparticles or LNPs encapsulate the modRNA and together bio-distribute and transfer the LNP-modRNA complexes throughout the human body

The LNPs then transfect and transfer the modRNA cargo across cell membranes to deliver the modRNA inside cells

By moving the modRNA about the body and then into cells, the LNP-modRNA complexes physically transfer genetic material after injection

So the Organism part of the GMO definition is satisfied by the physical mode of transport of the LNP-modRNA complexes

The next part of the GMO legal definition is – a Genetically Modified Organism is:

 an organism that has been modified by gene technology

The Gene Technology part requires showing:

 any technique for the modification of genes or other genetic material.

Pfizer and Moderna admit they modify genes to create modified RNA or modRNA for their products

The MHRA, EMA, FDA, and TGA when approving the Covid-19 products recognised Pfizer and Moderna use modified nucleosides for the modRNA

In the TGA Australian approval for Pfizer for example, the TGA notes:

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2 mRNA (tradename Comirnaty), comprises a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2.

Pfizer and Moderna create their modified nucleosides in the lab using recombinant techniques

So the Gene Technology part of the GMO legal definition is also satisfied

This means the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 products satisfy the Australian legal definitions for being properly called GMOs

Under the Australian Gene Technology Act anyone who ‘deals’ with a GMO in Australia must be regulated under a GMO licence

Pfizer and Moderna failed to apply for GMO licences in Australia

Dealing with GMOs in Australia without a GMO licence is a serious criminal offense under Section 32 of the Gene Technology Act 2000

In fact the boss of Australia’s Office of the Gene Technology Regulator, or OGTR, recently admitted to an Australian Senate Committee that both the Pfizer and Moderna products are GMOs

No Australian was told by the OGTR or the TGA that they were being asked to receive Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs when getting a Covid-19 injection

This is not just an Australian GMO legal issue

In the United Kingdom Genetically Modified Organisms are dealt with under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and specifically Section 106 under Part VI

The United Kingdom legal definitions for what is regarded as a GMO is almost identical to the Australian legal definitions we just looked at

Like in Australia, the United Kingdom requires new GMOs to be subjected to an extensive Risk Assessment

Even after an extensive Risk Assessment the United Kingdom Secretary of State still has to provide a Consent before a GMO can be introduced into the United Kingdom

The MHRA knew United Kingdom GMO legal definitions applied to Pfizer and Moderna because it is their job to know and they have GMO experts

But both Pfizer and Moderna applied for marketin

        <![CDATA[Are the Covid-19 drugs produced by Pfizer and Moderna GMOs or genetically modified organisms?

https://julesonthebeach.substack.com/p/zee-fda-had-zee-science-but-intentionally

https://www.givesendgo.com/GAVAZ

An Australian Federal Court case has evidence to say they are GMOs

Case File Number: VID510/2023

Dr Julian Fidge v. Pfizer Australia Pty Ltd &amp; Moderna Pty Ltd

Dr Fidge is an Australian medical doctor and trained pharmacist.

The case has been brought under the Australian Gene Technology Act 2000

Section 10 of Gene Technology Act defines what a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is.

First, an Organism is:

 ‘any biological entity’

 ‘capable of transferring genetic material’

The Pfizer and Moderna Covid products contain LNP-modRNA complexes

These complexes satisfy being called ‘any biological entity’ under the law

The modRNA is genetic material

The Lipid Nanoparticles or LNPs encapsulate the modRNA and together bio-distribute and transfer the LNP-modRNA complexes throughout the human body

The LNPs then transfect and transfer the modRNA cargo across cell membranes to deliver the modRNA inside cells

By moving the modRNA about the body and then into cells, the LNP-modRNA complexes physically transfer genetic material after injection

So the Organism part of the GMO definition is satisfied by the physical mode of transport of the LNP-modRNA complexes

The next part of the GMO legal definition is – a Genetically Modified Organism is:

 an organism that has been modified by gene technology

The Gene Technology part requires showing:

 any technique for the modification of genes or other genetic material.

Pfizer and Moderna admit they modify genes to create modified RNA or modRNA for their products

The MHRA, EMA, FDA, and TGA when approving the Covid-19 products recognised Pfizer and Moderna use modified nucleosides for the modRNA

In the TGA Australian approval for Pfizer for example, the TGA notes:

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2 mRNA (tradename Comirnaty), comprises a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2.

Pfizer and Moderna create their modified nucleosides in the lab using recombinant techniques

So the Gene Technology part of the GMO legal definition is also satisfied

This means the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 products satisfy the Australian legal definitions for being properly called GMOs

Under the Australian Gene Technology Act anyone who ‘deals’ with a GMO in Australia must be regulated under a GMO licence

Pfizer and Moderna failed to apply for GMO licences in Australia

Dealing with GMOs in Australia without a GMO licence is a serious criminal offense under Section 32 of the Gene Technology Act 2000

In fact the boss of Australia’s Office of the Gene Technology Regulator, or OGTR, recently admitted to an Australian Senate Committee that both the Pfizer and Moderna products are GMOs

No Australian was told by the OGTR or the TGA that they were being asked to receive Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs when getting a Covid-19 injection

This is not just an Australian GMO legal issue

In the United Kingdom Genetically Modified Organisms are dealt with under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and specifically Section 106 under Part VI

The United Kingdom legal definitions for what is regarded as a GMO is almost identical to the Australian legal definitions we just looked at

Like in Australia, the United Kingdom requires new GMOs to be subjected to an extensive Risk Assessment

Even after an extensive Risk Assessment the United Kingdom Secretary of State still has to provide a Consent before a GMO can be introduced into the United Kingdom

The MHRA knew United Kingdom GMO legal definitions applied to Pfizer and Moderna because it is their job to know and they have GMO experts

      <description>Excess Deaths in the United Kingdom: Midazolam and Euthanasia in the COVID-19 Pandemic

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377266988_Excess_Deaths_in_the_United_Kingdom_Midazolam_and_Euthanasia_in_the_COVID-19_Pandemic

Macro-data during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom (UK) are shown to have significant data anomalies and inconsistencies with existing explanations. 

This paper shows that the UK spike in deaths, wrongly attributed to COVID-19 in April 2020, 

was not due to SARS-CoV-2 virus, which was largely absent, 

but was due to the widespread use of Midazolam injections,

which were statistically very highly correlated (coefficient over 90%) with excess deaths in all regions of England during 2020.

Importantly, excess deaths remained elevated following mass vaccination in 2021, 
but were statistically uncorrelated to COVID injections, while remaining significantly correlated to Midazolam injections. 

The widespread and persistent use of Midazolam in UK suggests a possible policy of systemic euthanasia. 

Unlike Australia, where assessing the statistical impact of COVID injections on excess deaths is relatively straightforward, 

UK excess deaths were closely associated with the use of Midazolam and other medical intervention. 

The iatrogenic pandemic in the UK was caused by euthanasia deaths from Midazolam and also, 

likely caused by COVID injections, 

but their relative impacts are difficult to measure from the data, due to causal proximity of euthanasia. 

Global investigations of COVID-19 epidemiology, based only on the relative impacts of COVID disease and vaccination, may be inaccurate, due to the neglect of significant confounding factors in some countries.

Graphs

April 2020, 98.8% increase 43,796 

January 2021, 29.2% increase 16,546 

Therefore covid is very dangerous,

This interpretation, which is disputable, justified politically the declaration of emergency and all public health measures, including masking, lockdowns, etc. 

Excess deaths and erroneous conclusions

2020, 76,000
2021, 54,000
2022, 45,000

This evidence of “vaccine effectiveness” was illusory, due to incorrect attribution of the 2020 death spike. 

PS

Despite advances in modern information technology, the accuracy of data collection has not advanced in the United Kingdom for over 150 years, 

because the same problems of erroneous data entry found then are still found now in the COVID pandemic, 

not only in the UK but all over the world. 

We have independently discovered the same UK data problem and solution for assessing COVID-19 vaccination as Alfred Russel Wallace had 150 years ago in investigating the consequences of Vaccination Acts starting in 1840 on smallpox: 

The Alfred Russel Wallace as used by Wilson Sy

“Having thus cleared away the mass of doubtful or erroneous statistics,

depending on comparisons of the vaccinated and unvaccinated in limited areas or selected groups of patients, 

we turn to the only really important evidence, those ‘masses of national experience’...”

Why We Question the Safety Profile of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines

(Robert M Kaplan and Sander Greenland)

https://sensiblemed.substack.com/p/why-we-question-the-safety-of-covid

Using publicly available data from Pfizer and Moderna studies, 

we found one serious adverse event for each 800 vaccinees.   

That translates to about 1,250 serious events for each million vaccine recipients. 

US, Spain, Australia

Study to evaluate serious adverse events of special interest observed in mRNA COVID-19 vaccine trials.

Secondary analysis of serious adverse events reported in the placebo-controlled, phase III randomized clinical trials,

of Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines

Results

Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were associated with an excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest

Pfizer

10.1 per 10,000 vaccinated over placebo baselines of 17.6

Moderna

15.1 per 10,000 vaccinated over placebo baseline of 42.2

Combined, the mRNA vaccines

Associated with an excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest of 12.5 per 10,000 vaccinated

Pfizer trial

Pfizer vaccine group

52 serious AESI (27.7 per 10,000) were reported

Pfizer placebo group

33 serious AESI (17.6 per 10,000) were reported

36 % higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group

Risk difference 18.0 per 10,000 vaccinated

Moderna trial

Moderna trial, vaccine group

87 serious AESI (57.3 per 10,000) were reported

Moderna trial, placebo group

64 serious AESI (42.2 per 10,000) were reported

6 % higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group

Risk difference 7.1 per 10,000 vaccinated

Discussion

The excess risk of serious adverse events found in our study points to the need for formal harm-benefit analyses, 

particularly those that are stratified according to risk of serious COVID-19 outcomes. 

These analyses will require public release of participant level datasets.

Full transparency of the COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial data is needed,

to properly evaluate these questions. 

Unfortunately, as we approach 2 years after release of COVID-19 vaccines,

participant level data remain inaccessible. 

Level of adverse reactions in the past

The 1976 swine flu vaccine

Small increased risk of Guillain-Barré Syndrome

The increased risk was approximately 1 additional case of GBS for every 100,000 people who got the swine flu vaccine. 

When over 40 million people were vaccinated against swine flu, 

federal health officials decided that the possibility of an association of GBS with the vaccine, however small, 

necessitated stopping immunization until the issue could be explored.

The Institute of Medicine (2003)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK221528/

Concluded that people who received the 1976 swine influenza vaccine had an increased risk for developing GBS. 

Exact reason for this association remains unknown.

Rotavirus vaccine Rotashield, (1999)

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/rotavirus/vac-rotashield-historical.htm

The U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)

October 22, 1999 to no longer recommend use of the RotaShield® vaccine for infants,

because of an association between the vaccine and intussusception.

The results of the investigations showed that RotaShield® vaccine caused intussusception in some healthy infants

Within 2 weeks

Intussusception increased 20 to 30 times over t

Xi, These days 70 years old …..

In the past it used to be rare for someone to be older that 70 and these days they say that at 70 one’s still a child.

Putin or Un, (spoken in Mandarin) Human organs can be repeatedly transplanted, so you can get younger and youger in spite of age

And might be able to stave off old age indefinitely

XI, It’s predicted that in this century it might become possible to live to 150.

      <title>Vaccine regulator stumbled</title>
      <description>We feel compelled to conclude that the MHRA has indeed become an enabler for the pharmaceutical industry, with patient safety no longer being its primary concern.

Medicines regulator failed to flag Covid vaccine side effects,

and must be urgently investigated.

All-party parliamentary group, (APPG) on Pandemic Response and Recovery,

believe MHRA were aware of heart and clotting issues,

in February 2021,

but did not highlight the problems for several months

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/27/mhra-covid-vaccine-side-effects-mps-all-party-parliamentary/

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03/05/esther-mcvey-covid-inquiry-lockdown-files-matt-hancock-baroness/

https://www.medscape.co.uk/viewarticle/uk-medicines-regulator-serious-risk-patient-safety-2024a10003cd?ecd=wnl_ret_240220_mscpmrk-GB_daily_etid6322343&amp;uac=188254MN&amp;impID=6322343&amp;sso=true\

https://appgpandemic.org/news/mhra-letter-health-select-committee

We write regarding serious concerns about the approach of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA),

to patient safety and also problems in a system that, 

far from protecting patients, 

continues to put them at serious risk.

Primodos, sodium valproate and pelvic mesh

We also believe that the MHRA is at the heart of these far wider endemic failings, 

and that those cited in this letter merely represent the tip of a sizeable iceberg of failure.
The Yellow Card Scheme

The Yellow Card Scheme … is failing patients.

Hospital admissions are caused or complicated by ADRs (16.5%), 

while analysis of in patient stays has shown that 15% of patients experience one or more ADRs, with half being either definitely or possibly avoidable.

Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review Review, report First Do No Harm:

We heard about a system that cannot be relied upon to identify promptly significant adverse outcomes arising from a medication or device,

it is clear that there is gross under-reporting, 

and our complaints systems are both too complex and too diffuse to allow early signal detection.

Under-reporting hinders the ability to detect signals and assign causation. 

The cost to patient safety of such an unreliable system can be measured in the needless fatalities, 

the considerable burden on the quality of life for survivors,

and a £2.2 billion strain on NHS England alone.

Only one in 12 patients are aware that they can report a suspected ADR. 

A 2006 systemic review 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16689555/

The rate of under-reporting of adverse events was, on average, 94% and possibly as high as 98%, 

meaning possibly only two in every 100 ADRs were reported to the MHRA. 

For example, a survey of UK pharmacists suggested they lack interest in, and do not promote, direct patient reporting. 

Only 19% of the respondents displayed a poster promoting the Yellow Card Scheme in their pharmacy. 

2023, analysis of anticoagulants

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37269441/

Reporting of gastrointestinal bleeds

North West of England Hospital Trust recorded 12,013 bleed-related emergency admissions. 

Of these, 1,058 were taking DOAC anticoagulants. 

Only six DOAC Yellow Card reports (0.56% of the possible) were made by the Trust during the period.

Conflicts of Interest and Transparency

From FDA to MHRA: are drug regulators for hire?

https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1538

The regulator-industry revolving door

Proportion of covid-19 vaccine committee members that declared financial COIs

UK, HMRA, 32%

Australia, TGA, 50%

March 2022, Dame June Raine, Chief Executive of the MHRA

agency’s transition from “the watchdog to the enabler” 

does little to quell suspicions of conflicts and the implications for patient safety and cannot be overlooked.

MHRA’s responses to Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.

Between 2008 and 2017,

We write regarding serious concerns about the approach of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA),

to patient safety and also problems in a system that, 

far from protecting patients, 

continues to put them at serious risk.

Primodos, sodium valproate and pelvic mesh

We also believe that the MHRA is at the heart of these far wider endemic failings, 

and that those cited in this letter merely represent the tip of a sizeable iceberg of failure.
The Yellow Card Scheme

The Yellow Card Scheme … is failing patients.

Hospital admissions are caused or complicated by ADRs (16.5%), 

while analysis of in patient stays has shown that 15% of patients experience one or more ADRs, with half being either definitely or possibly avoidable.

Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review Review, report First Do No Harm:

We heard about a system that cannot be relied upon to identify promptly significant adverse outcomes arising from a medication or device,

it is clear that there is gross under-reporting, 

and our complaints systems are both too complex and too diffuse to allow early signal detection.

Under-reporting hinders the ability to detect signals and assign causation. 

The cost to patient safety of such an unreliable system can be measured in the needless fatalities, 

the considerable burden on the quality of life for survivors,

and a £2.2 billion strain on NHS England alone.

Only one in 12 patients are aware that they can report a suspected ADR. 

A 2006 systemic review 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16689555/

The rate of under-reporting of adverse events was, on average, 94% and possibly as high as 98%, 

meaning possibly only two in every 100 ADRs were reported to the MHRA. 

For example, a survey of UK pharmacists suggested they lack interest in, and do not promote, direct patient reporting. 

Only 19% of the respondents displayed a poster promoting the Yellow Card Scheme in their pharmacy. 

2023, analysis of anticoagulants

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37269441/

Reporting of gastrointestinal bleeds

North West of England Hospital Trust recorded 12,013 bleed-related emergency admissions. 

Of these, 1,058 were taking DOAC anticoagulants. 

Only six DOAC Yellow Card reports (0.56% of the possible) were made by the Trust during the period.

      <description>Oxford vaccine and blood clots

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10266585/AstraZeneca-uncovers-trigger-blood-clots-jab.html

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccination-blood-clotting-information-for-healthcare-professionals/information-for-healthcare-professionals-on-blood-clotting-following-covid-19-vaccination

From 4 January to 4 August

AZ vaccine administered across the UK

24.8 million first doses

23.9 million second doses

412 suspected cases of CVST   (Cerebral Sinus Vein Thrombosis) have been reported across the UK

(Only 43 suspected cases were after the second dose of AZ vaccine)

Overall incidence of CVST

After first dose, 14.9 per million

After second dose, 1.8 per million

CVST is a complication of COVID-19 infection

42.8 per million

MHRA as of 11 August, there were 73 fatal cases from the 411 events

ChAdOx1 interacts with CAR and PF4 with implications for thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abl8213

Vaccines derived from chimpanzee adenovirus

As part of the largest vaccination campaign in history, 

Ultra rare side effects not seen in phase 3 trials,

including thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS)

Adenoviruses deployed as vaccination vectors versus SARS-CoV-2 bind to platelet factor 4 (PF4), 

a protein implicated in the pathogenesis of HIT. 

heparin-induced thrombocytopenia 

Computational simulations to demonstrate an electrostatic interaction mechanism with PF4, 

which was confirmed experimentally by surface plasmon resonance. 

These data confirm that PF4 is capable of forming stable complexes with clinically relevant adenoviruses, 

an important step in unravelling the mechanisms underlying TTS.

Platelet factor 4 (PF4)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet_factor_4

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41420-019-0188-0

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/platelet-factor-4

This chemokine is released from activated platelets during platelet aggregation, and promotes blood coagulation

Also has a role in inflammation and wound repair

Prof Alan Parker, Cardiff University

The adenovirus has an extremely negative surface, and platelet factor four is extremely positive and the two things fit together quite well
 
What we have is the trigger, but there's a lot of steps that have to happen next

Recent case reports show that most patients presenting with TTS

( more than 90%) tested positive for PF4 antibodies

A ChAdOx1/PF4 complex could induce anti-PF4 autoantibodies.

In this potential mechanism, small quantities of ChAdOx1 enter the blood through minor capillary injuries 

caused by the intramuscular injection, as has previously been observed

This proposal goes some way toward explaining why TTS is observed so rarely, 

because it may require a series of low frequency stochastic interactions, 

first between small numbers of adenovirus particles entering the blood / lymph and then monocytes and / or B cells, 

which may only occur in individuals who are predisposed toward the generation of anti-PF4 antibodies.

      <title>Heart disease press release </title>
      <description>Our world in data excess mortality

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores-average-baseline?country=~JPN

Early heart disease deaths rise to 14-year high
 
Over 100,000 excess deaths involving cardiovascular conditions in England since February 2020

Heart and circulatory diseases cause around a quarter of all deaths in England,

Over 140,000 deaths each year,

or one death every four minutes.

Healthcare costs relating to heart and circulatory diseases, £8.3 billion each year.

The cost of cardiovascular disease to the wider economy in England,

(including premature death, disability and informal costs),

is estimated to be £22 billion each year.

Latest NHS England figures show that the number of people waiting for cardiac care at the end of November in England was 402,208.

The heart care waiting list is 72% larger than in February 2020. 

This is an increase of 169,000 people – enough to fill Wembley stadium nearly twice over.

In 2022

Over 39,000 people in England died prematurely of cardiovascular conditions,

heart attacks, coronary heart disease and stroke,

an average of 750 people each week. 

It is the highest annual total since 2008.
 
Since 2020, the premature death rate for cardiovascular disease has risen year-on-year

This is the first time there has been a clear reversal in the trend for almost 60 years.
 
The BHF says more analysis is needed to understand what is driving the trend. 

Dr Sonya Babu-Narayan, Associate Medical Director at the BHF and Consultant Cardiologist, said: 

We are still seeing more people than expected die from cardiovascular conditions overall – more than any other disease group. 

It’s clear to me that urgent intervention is long overdue.
 
In January 2023, the Government announced a Major Conditions Strategy to tackle the biggest drivers of ill health and early death in England

      <title>China, numerous infections</title>
      <description>China, the first and the last, alpha and omega of the covid pandemic with omicron

Abrupt U-turn on COVID controls on 7th December

Cases + 5,000

December, 248 million infections, (18%)

Deaths, + 3 = 5,253

When is a covid death a covid death?

Prof Wang Guiqiang, National Health Commission

Only fatalities caused by pneumonia and respiratory failure

Not deaths caused by cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases, blood clots, sepsis

the main cause of death from infection with Omicron is the underlying diseases

UK Department of Health

Covid pre-departure, 48 hours, as from 5th January

(Spain, the US, Italy, India, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia and Japan)

Health Security Agency, surveillance of arrivals from 8th January

Fitter variants have always got through in the past

Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, Professor Andrew Pollard

Imposition of travel curbs was unlikely to stop variants reaching the UK

Health Secretary Steve Barclay

to gain rapid insight into potential new variants circulating in China

The best defence against the virus, however, remains the vaccine

Direct from China

I can confirm a lot of what you said in your broadcast

Many being treated at home due to very busy hospitals  

Crematoriums are backed up by about two weeks in many cities

More than 60% of my work and social contacts, young and old have had COVID in the last three weeks.

All has symptoms lasting 7 to 10 days

Last round of vaccinations in some areas 6 to 12 months ago

Body aches/headache - usually one of the first symptoms

      <title>Increased cancers after mRNA vaccines </title>
      <description>COVID-19 vaccination, all-cause mortality, and hospitalization for cancer: 30-month cohort study in an Italian province

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40881928/

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12381369/

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-first-population-wide-study

The rate of first hospitalization for cancer of any site

Unvaccinated group: 0.85%

Vaccinated group (one or more doses): 1.15%

N = 296,015 population

Hospital admission with a cancer diagnosis, 3,124

(p less than 0.001).

Vaccination with at least one dose

Colon-rectal cancer  HR: 1.34

Breast cancer   HR: 1.54

Bladder cancer   HR: 1.62

After three or more vaccine doses

Breast cancer   HR: 1.36

Bladder cancer   HR: 1.43

All significant

After one dose (180 days after)

Rate of first hospital admissions for cancers 

All cancers:  up 23% significant

Colorectal:  up 34% significant

Lung:   down = 10%

Breast:   up 54% significant

Uterine:   up = 75%

Ovarian:  up = 65% 

Prostate:  up = 1%

Bladder:  up 62% significant

Thyroid:  up =58%

Haematological: up = 33% 


After three dose (180 days after administration of third dose)

All cancers:  up = 9%

Colorectal:  up = 14%

Lung:   down = 5%

Breast:   up=36% significant

Uterine:   up = 20%

Ovarian:  up = 86%

Prostate:  down = 3%

Bladder:  up=43% significant

Thyroid:  down = 3%

Haematological: up = 5%


More about the study

Population-wide cohort analysis

Evaluating the risk of all-cause death and cancer hospitalization by SARS-CoV-2 immunization status. 

National Health System official data, entire population, Pescara province, Italy

Followed from June 2021 (six months after the first vaccination) to December 2023. 

296,015 residents aged ≥11 years

Hospital admission with a cancer diagnosis, 3,124

16.6% were unvaccinated

83.3% received ≥1 dose

62.2% ≥3 doses. 

Compared with the unvaccinated, those receiving ≥1 dose showed a significantly lower likelihood of all-cause death

Cancer hospitalization was significant only among the subjects with no previous SARS-CoV-2 infection

Some cancer risks went down after 1 year (relative to 180 days)

(But breast, ovarian and bladder went up at one year relative to 180 days after 1 vaccine dose)

Given that it was not possible to quantify the potential impact of the healthy vaccinee bias and unmeasured confounders, these findings are inevitably preliminary.

The rate of first hospitalization for cancer of any site

Unvaccinated group: 0.85%

Vaccinated group (one or more doses): 1.15%

N = 296,015 population

Hospital admission with a cancer diagnosis, 3,124

Bladder cancer   HR: 1.62

After three or more vaccine doses

Breast cancer   HR: 1.36

Bladder cancer   HR: 1.43

All significant

After one dose (180 days after)

Rate of first hospital admissions for cancers 

All cancers:  up 23% significant

Colorectal:  up 34% significant

Lung:   down = 10%

Breast:   up 54% significant

Uterine:   up = 75%

Ovarian:  up = 65%

More about the study

Population-wide cohort analysis

Evaluating the risk of all-cause death and cancer hospitalization by SARS-CoV-2 immunization status. 

National Health System official data, entire population, Pescara province, Italy

Followed from June 2021 (six months after the first vaccination) to December 2023. 

296,015 residents aged ≥11 years

Hospital admission with a cancer diagnosis, 3,124

16.6% were unvaccinated

83.3% received ≥1 dose

62.2% ≥3 doses. 

Compared with the unvaccinated, those receiving ≥1 dose showed a significantly lower likelihood of all-cause death

Cancer hospitalization was significant only among the subjects with no previous SARS-CoV-2 infection

Some cancer risks went down after 1 year (relative to 180 days)

(But breast, ovarian and bladder went up at one year relative to 180 days after 1 vaccine dose)

Given that it was not possible to quantify the potential impact of the healthy vaccinee bias and unmeasured confounders, these findings are inevitably preliminary.

Intravenous Injection of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA Vaccine Can Induce Acute Myopericarditis in Mouse Model

https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciab707/6353927

https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/incorrect-vaccine-administration-is-a-potential-cause-of-post-vaccine-adverse-effects-but-more-research-is-still-needed-to-confirm-or-reject-this-hypothesis/?fbclid=IwAR0nBbM6v0V2WPFn4LxIdfR4FNAvIzLGKhzFPdQPG8mu_FR1InB8OzYQgMc

Leo Nicolai, Cardiology Fellow, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich:

German Centre for Cardiovascular Research

Indeed, there is peer-reviewed work showing in mice that possibly intravenous injection of mRNA vaccine leads to myocardial inflammation. 

that intravenous injection of adenoviral vector based vaccine (AZ1222, ChAdOx1) leads to thrombocytopenia and platelet-directed immune responses,
 
offering a possible explanation for vaccine-induced thrombosis/thrombocytopenia

these data might indicate a simple measure to lower the incidence of vaccine-induced side effects, 

There is a lack of data on frequency and effects of IV injection in humans. 

Most likely, two approaches are needed to further validate the data: 

Large animal studies

Studies comparing incidence of vaccine-associated thrombosis/thrombocytopenia/ myocarditis in countries with mandated syringe aspiration to countries that don’t mandate this practice.

Thrombocytopenia and splenic platelet directed immune responses after intravenous ChAdOx1 nCov-19 administration (29th June 2021)

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.29.450356v1

Recently a rare and novel complication of SARS-CoV-2 targeted adenovirus vaccines has emerged: thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). 

we employ in vitro and in vivo models

to characterize the possible mechanisms of this platelet-targeted autoimmunity. 

We show that intravenous but not intramuscular injection of ChAdOx1 triggers platelet-adenovirus aggregate formation and platelet activation. 

After intravenous injection, these aggregates are phagocytosed by macrophages in the spleen and platelet remnants are found in the spleen.

This is followed by a pronounced B-cell response with the emergence of circulating antibodies binding to platelets.

Our work contributes to the understanding of TTS and highlights accidental intravenous injection as potential mechanism for post-vaccination TTS. 

Hence, safe intramuscular injection, with aspiration prior to injection, 

could be a potential preventive measure when administering adenovirus-based vaccines.

Helen Petousis-Harris, Associate Professor, University of Auckland:

Vaccinologist and associate professor at the University of Auckland

There are a range of injection techniques for administering vaccines, 

Injecting fast and withdrawing the needle

Injecting slowly before withdrawing

Pulling back on the plunger, seeing there is no blood, then injecting. This is called aspiration.

Rationale for aspirating

vaccine could be inadvertently delivered into the blood rather than the muscle tissue. 

But as the flashback of blood hardly ever happens, the practice was abandoned by many practitioners. 

I have not seen any evidence to support the rejection of this hypothesis at this stage. 

The animal model study supports the possibility that inadvertent injection into a blood vessel could result in undesirable reactions. 

However, the majority of myocarditis cases are occurring in young males after the second dose, something that this hypothesis does not explain.

My conclusion is that this requires more research and observing the patterns of post-vaccine myocarditis among populations where aspiration is practiced could be helpful.

Observed-to-Expected Fetal Losses Following mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination in Early Pregnancy

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.18.25329352v1


The clinical trials used to approve COVID-19 vaccines excluded pregnant women, 

and existing safety assessments of COVID-19 vaccination, 

particularly during early stages of pregnancy, 

are limited to observational studies prone to various types of potential bias, including healthy vaccinee bias. 

Methods 

March 1, 2016 and February 28, 2022

N = 226,395 pregnancies

Observed-to-expected comparisons

mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, weeks 8-13 and 14-27

Influenza during gestational weeks 8-27 and women vaccinated prior to pregnancy for COVID-19 or influenza, used as controls. 

Expected number of fetal losses, historical data from 2016-2018

(that incorporates individual-level risk factors)

A simulated trial, where each vaccinated pregnant woman included in the cohort was ‘matched’ with a ‘synthetic unvaccinated control’ with similar individual and pregnancy characteristics. 


Results 

COVID-19 vaccination with dose 1 during weeks 8-13

Associated with higher-than-expected fetal losses

13 versus 9 expected for every 100 exposed pregnancies

3.85 additional fetal losses above expected per 100 pregnancies

Most of the excess fetal losses occurred after gestational week 20,

and nearly half occurred after gestational week 25. 

Women vaccinated with dose 3 during weeks 8-13

A higher-than-expected number of fetal losses

Nearly 1.9 additional fetal losses above expected per 100 pregnancies. 

In contrast, 

Pregnant women vaccinated for influenza during weeks 8-27

Exhibited a consistently lower-than-expected observed number of fetal losses, 

likely the result of healthy vaccinee bias. 

Women vaccinated for COVID-19 or influenza prior to pregnancy exhibited according-to-expected or lower-than-expected numbers of fetal losses. 

Conclusion 

Overall, the findings in this paper provided concerning evidence of a higher-than-expected fetal loss rate associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccine doses received during early pregnancy (gestational weeks 8-13). 

The safety signal should be further investigated by regulatory authorities as part of their risk assessment of vaccination during pregnancy with specific focus on the physiological effects in early pregnancy. 

There is also a need to conduct pathophysiological studies to better understand the potential biological mechanisms. 

Additionally, it would be insightful to assess the potential impact of non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. 

The findings also underscore the importance of conducting dedicated and statistically powered prospective clinical trials to study the impact of vaccination for COVID-19 and other pathogens during pregnancy to better inform recommendations to this vulnerable population.

which generates a score predicting the 5 year risk (percentage chance) of a new Acute Coronary Syndrome

Score is based on changes from the norm of multiple protein biomarkers,

IL-16, (a proinflammatory cytokine) 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10857846/

Soluble Fas, (an inducer of apoptosis)

https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/ajpheart.00777.2002

FasL is the ligand

adenoviral overexpression of FasL

Hepatocyte Growth Factor (serves as a marker for chemotaxis of T-cells into epithelium and cardiac tissue)

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/hepatocyte-growth-factor

Among other markers

Elevation above the norm increases the PULS score

Decreases below the norm lowers the PULS score

The score has been measured every 3-6 months in our patient population for 8 years. 

Recently, with the advent of the mRNA COVID 19 vaccines (vac) by Moderna and Pfizer, 

dramatic changes in the PULS score became apparent in most patients.

This report summarizes those results

A total of 566 patients, 

aged 28 to 97, 

M:F ratio 1:1 

seen in a preventive cardiology practice

had a new PULS test drawn from 2 to 10 weeks following the 2nd COVID shot

and was compared to the previous PULS score drawn 3 to 5 months previously pre- shot. 

Baseline IL-16 increased from 35=/-20 above the norm to 82 =/- 75 above the norm post-vac; 

sFas increased from 22+/- 15 above the norm to 46=/-24 above the norm post-vac; 

HGF increased from 42+/-12 above the norm to 86+/-31 above the norm post-vac. 

These changes resulted in an increase of the PULS score from 11% 5 yr ACS risk to 25% 5 yr ACS risk. 

At the time of this report, these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vac.

We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle

and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.

Data goes up to 18th November 2022

Investigating cause of excess deaths

In 1965, English statistician Sir Austin Bradford Hill

Causal relationships

Strength

The larger the association, the more likely that it is causal

Consistency, (reproducibility)

Consistent findings, different persons in different places

Specificity

No other likely explanation

Temporality

The effect has to occur after the cause (often with a delay)

Biological gradient, (dose response relationship)

Greater exposure should lead to greater incidence of the effect

(or indeed lower incident of effect)

Plausibility

A plausible mechanism between cause and effect

Coherence

Between epidemiological and laboratory findings

Experiment

Occasionally it is possible to appeal to experimental evidence

Analogy

Analogies or similarities between the observed association and any other associations

Reversibility

May work if there is no permanent damage

      <title>US Senate, lab origin considered most likely</title>
      <description>Senate report on COVID coronavirus origins

the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 that resulted in the COVID-19 pandemic was most likely the result of a research-related incident

https://www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/report_an_analysis_of_the_origins_of_covid-19_102722.pdf

Dec. 20, 2019 to Jan. 18, 2020

Searches for flu-like symptoms 

Cases probably started mid October, 2019

Analysis of Natural Zoonotic Origins Hypothesis 

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) 

Lack of intermediate bats to humans

Virus likely needed to circulate in an intermediate host
 
An animal virus must evolve to gain human infecting potential

Closest virus is in horseshoe bats residing in Southern China or Southeast Asia
 
Epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 Outbreak Differs from Previous Natural Zoonotic Spill overs 

Lack of dead ends spill over events, no epidemiological train in animals or humans

Influenza

Infected poultry and birds always found

H7N9 (2019) multiple independent introductions across multiple locations

Geographically disparate, independent spill overs of H7N9 

Avian Influenza

had circulated in bird populations, 

time and several provinces in China before the first known human infections 

SARS epidemic

At least five independent spill overs of the SARS virus into humans

Live animal markets followed by human to human

E.g. Guangdong Province, November 2002 to January 2003

SARS, later on in 2003 – 2004

Additional independent subsequent spill over infections in humans

Civets identified within 6 months

Early SARS viral samples from humans contained genetic mutations that reflected prior circulation and adaptation in palm civets 

In total contrast

Chinese government, asserted that the COVID-19 originated from a natural zoonotic transmission occurring at the Huanan market

      <title>Inadequate GMO testing</title>
      <description>Are the Covid-19 drugs produced by Pfizer and Moderna GMOs or genetically modified organisms?

https://julesonthebeach.substack.com/p/zee-fda-had-zee-science-but-intentionally

https://www.givesendgo.com/GAVAZ

An Australian Federal Court case has evidence to say they are GMOs

Case File Number: VID510/2023

Dr Julian Fidge v. Pfizer Australia Pty Ltd &amp; Moderna Pty Ltd

Dr Fidge is an Australian medical doctor and trained pharmacist.

The case has been brought under the Australian Gene Technology Act 2000

Section 10 of Gene Technology Act defines what a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is.

First, an Organism is:

 ‘any biological entity’

 ‘capable of transferring genetic material’

The Pfizer and Moderna Covid products contain LNP-modRNA complexes

These complexes satisfy being called ‘any biological entity’ under the law

The modRNA is genetic material

The Lipid Nanoparticles or LNPs encapsulate the modRNA and together bio-distribute and transfer the LNP-modRNA complexes throughout the human body

The LNPs then transfect and transfer the modRNA cargo across cell membranes to deliver the modRNA inside cells

By moving the modRNA about the body and then into cells, the LNP-modRNA complexes physically transfer genetic material after injection

So the Organism part of the GMO definition is satisfied by the physical mode of transport of the LNP-modRNA complexes

The next part of the GMO legal definition is – a Genetically Modified Organism is:

 an organism that has been modified by gene technology

The Gene Technology part requires showing:

 any technique for the modification of genes or other genetic material.

Pfizer and Moderna admit they modify genes to create modified RNA or modRNA for their products

The MHRA, EMA, FDA, and TGA when approving the Covid-19 products recognised Pfizer and Moderna use modified nucleosides for the modRNA

In the TGA Australian approval for Pfizer for example, the TGA notes:

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2 mRNA (tradename Comirnaty), comprises a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2.

Pfizer and Moderna create their modified nucleosides in the lab using recombinant techniques

So the Gene Technology part of the GMO legal definition is also satisfied

This means the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 products satisfy the Australian legal definitions for being properly called GMOs

Under the Australian Gene Technology Act anyone who ‘deals’ with a GMO in Australia must be regulated under a GMO licence

Pfizer and Moderna failed to apply for GMO licences in Australia

Dealing with GMOs in Australia without a GMO licence is a serious criminal offense under Section 32 of the Gene Technology Act 2000

In fact the boss of Australia’s Office of the Gene Technology Regulator, or OGTR, recently admitted to an Australian Senate Committee that both the Pfizer and Moderna products are GMOs

No Australian was told by the OGTR or the TGA that they were being asked to receive Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs when getting a Covid-19 injection

This is not just an Australian GMO legal issue

In the United Kingdom Genetically Modified Organisms are dealt with under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and specifically Section 106 under Part VI

The United Kingdom legal definitions for what is regarded as a GMO is almost identical to the Australian legal definitions we just looked at

Like in Australia, the United Kingdom requires new GMOs to be subjected to an extensive Risk Assessment

Even after an extensive Risk Assessment the United Kingdom Secretary of State still has to provide a Consent before a GMO can be introduced into the United Kingdom

The MHRA knew United Kingdom GMO legal definitions applied to Pfizer and Moderna because it is their job to know and they have GMO experts

But both Pfizer and Moderna applied for marketin

      <title>Young cancer increases confirmed </title>
      <description>Colorectal Cancer Incidence in US Adults After Recommendations for Earlier Screening

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2837232?guestAccessKey=cdcd25ed-4acb-4a31-a67f-2b993aace50c&amp;utm_source=For_The_Media&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=ftm_links&amp;utm_content=tfl&amp;utm_term=080425

After a stable 15-year trend, local-stage CRC incidence increased steeply in adults aged 45 to 49 years during 2019-2022,
 
including a 50% relative increase between 2021 and 2022. 

Sudden uptick in incidence among adults aged 45 to 49 years in 2021,

the increase accelerated in 2022

Individuals aged 45 to 49 years

(Local stage tumours, colorectal cancers)

2004-2019

An increase of 1.1% annually

2019-2022

Accelerated to 12.0% annually

In 2019

9.4 per 100 000 

In 2021

11.7 per 100 000 in 2021 (25% relative increase)

In 2022

17.5 per 100 000 (a 50% increase relative to 2021)
 
https://colorectalcancer.org/article/acs-releases-colorectal-cancer-estimates-2024

Colorectal cancer is common and deadly

152,810 new cases of colorectal cancer in 2024.

Of these, 106,590 colon cancer, and 46,220 rectal cancer. 

CRC is the second leading cause of all cancer-related deaths in the U.S.

Estimated 53,010 deaths in 2024 

Estimated 52,550 deaths in 2023
 
Rising CRC cases among younger people

Mortality rate in young people is also increasing

Now leading cause of cancer death in men under 50,

second leading cause in women under 50

Young people are often diagnosed with more advanced cancers due to delays in detection. 

JAMA

… likely reflects diagnosis of prevalent asymptomatic cancer through first-time screening due to recommendations for adults to begin screening at age 45 years instead of 50 years.

The sudden uptick in incidence among adults aged 45 to 49 years in 2021 may reflect a rebound of missed diagnoses in 2020 because of pandemic-related disruptions. 

However, the increase was unique to early-stage disease in the newly eligible screening age group and accelerated in 2022, and USPSTF recommendations did not change until 2021.

Although additional data years are needed for confirmation, the recent uptick in localized CRC after recommendations to initiate screening in adults aged 45 to 49 years is promising and may reflect earlier detection through screening initiation.

14,676 CRC cases, 808,130 subjects, 17 countries. 

25% lower risk was reported comparing the highest vs. the lowest dietary vitamin D consumption

The meta-analysis demonstrates that high dietary vitamin D is associated to CRC prevention.

        <![CDATA[Colorectal Cancer Incidence in US Adults After Recommendations for Earlier Screening

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2837232?guestAccessKey=cdcd25ed-4acb-4a31-a67f-2b993aace50c&amp;utm_source=For_The_Media&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=ftm_links&amp;utm_content=tfl&amp;utm_term=080425

After a stable 15-year trend, local-stage CRC incidence increased steeply in adults aged 45 to 49 years during 2019-2022,
 
including a 50% relative increase between 2021 and 2022. 

Sudden uptick in incidence among adults aged 45 to 49 years in 2021,

the increase accelerated in 2022

Individuals aged 45 to 49 years

(Local stage tumours, colorectal cancers)

2004-2019

An increase of 1.1% annually

2019-2022

Accelerated to 12.0% annually

In 2019

9.4 per 100 000 

In 2021

11.7 per 100 000 in 2021 (25% relative increase)

In 2022

17.5 per 100 000 (a 50% increase relative to 2021)
 
https://colorectalcancer.org/article/acs-releases-colorectal-cancer-estimates-2024

Colorectal cancer is common and deadly

152,810 new cases of colorectal cancer in 2024.

Of these, 106,590 colon cancer, and 46,220 rectal cancer. 

CRC is the second leading cause of all cancer-related deaths in the U.S.

Estimated 53,010 deaths in 2024 

Estimated 52,550 deaths in 2023
 
Rising CRC cases among younger people

Mortality rate in young people is also increasing

Now leading cause of cancer death in men under 50,

second leading cause in women under 50

Young people are often diagnosed with more advanced cancers due to delays in detection. 

JAMA

… likely reflects diagnosis of prevalent asymptomatic cancer through first-time screening due to recommendations for adults to begin screening at age 45 years instead of 50 years.

The sudden uptick in incidence among adults aged 45 to 49 years in 2021 may reflect a rebound of missed diagnoses in 2020 because of pandemic-related disruptions. 

However, the increase was unique to early-stage disease in the newly eligible screening age group and accelerated in 2022, and USPSTF recommendations did not change until 2021.

Although additional data years are needed for confirmation, the recent uptick in localized CRC after recommendations to initiate screening in adults aged 45 to 49 years is promising and may reflect earlier detection through screening initiation.

      <description>42%increased chance of developing a neuro problem after covid, equating to 7% of those infected.

Dr. Al-Aly

Overall, COVID-19 has contributed to more than 40 million new cases of neurological disorders worldwide

Long-term neurologic outcomes of COVID-19

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-02001-z

https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing/mild-covid-risk-brain-neurological-problems/

https://medicine.wustl.edu/news/covid-19-infections-increase-risk-of-long-term-brain-problems/

Comprehensive evaluation of postacute neurologic sequelae at 1 year

National healthcare databases of the US Department of Veterans Affairs

Covid cohort = 154,068

(nonhospitalized, hospitalized and admitted to intensive care)

Contemporary controls = 5,638,795

Historical controls = 5,859,621 (2017 data)

Average age of 61

Estimate risks and burdens of incident neurologic disorders at 12 months following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection

Longitudinal observational study design

March 2020 through January 2021

(predates delta, omicron and other COVID variants)

Results

In the postacute phase of COVID-19, there was increased risk of an array of incident neurologic sequelae

Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke

TIA

Cognition and memory disorders

Peripheral nervous system disorders

Episodic disorders (e.g. migraine, seizures)

Extrapyramidal and movement disorders

Mental health disorders, (anxiety depression psychosis)

Musculoskeletal disorders

Sensory disorders

Guillain–Barré syndrome

Encephalitis or encephalopathy

Headaches

Hazard ratio of any neurologic sequela

1.42 (1.38 to 1.47)

Burden

70.69 (63.54 to 78.01) per 1,000 persons at 12 months

Or, 7.069%

The risks and burdens were elevated even in people who did not require hospitalization during acute COVID-19

Risks and burdens increased according to the severity of the acute infection,

from nonhospitalized to hospitalized to intensive care

(predates delta, omicron and other COVID variants)

Results

In the postacute phase of COVID-19, there was increased risk of an array of incident neurologic sequelae

Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke

TIA

Cognition and memory disorders

Peripheral nervous system disorders

Episodic disorders (e.g. migraine, seizures)

Extrapyramidal and movement disorders

Mental health disorders, (anxiety depression psychosis)

Musculoskeletal disorders

Sensory disorders

Guillain–Barré syndrome

Encephalitis or encephalopathy

Headaches

Hazard ratio of any neurologic sequela

1.42 (1.38 to 1.47)

Burden

70.69 (63.54 to 78.01) per 1,000 persons at 12 months

Or, 7.069%

The risks and burdens were elevated even in people who did not require hospitalization during acute COVID-19

Risks and burdens increased according to the severity of the acute infection,

from nonhospitalized to hospitalized to intensive care

Dizzynes

Taken together, our results provide evidence of increased risk of long-term neurologic disorders in people who had COVID-19.

Spread of XBB.1.5 is stunning

80% of Americans who've already been infected are likely to catch it again

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2023/01/06/covid-update-xbb-variant-symptoms-reinfection/10995204002/

Dr. Paula Cannon, virologist, University of Southern California 

It's crazy infectious

All the things that have protected you for the past couple of years, 

I don't think are going to protect you against this new crop of variants

Essentially, everyone in the country is at risk for infection now, 

even if they're super careful, 

up to date on vaccines, 

or have caught it before

The number of severe infections and deaths remains relatively low, 

despite the high level of infections,

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/myocarditis_and_pericarditis#incoming-2202123

Good Afternoon Shaun

Further to our response to this request which was provided on 30th November 2022, an error has been found in the figures that were originally provided in relation to ED attendances for Myocarditis and Pericarditis. 

This was a formula error that occurred during the process of simplifying the data into a pivot table. The value that was displayed was the sum total of a numeric value within the raw data, specifically a row count, as the years progressed the row count increased meaning the sum was greater. The value displayed should have been a count and not a sum.

I have provided the correct information in attached spreadsheet. Please accept my sincere apologies for this. Please be assured that this was a genuine error and that we have implemented an additional checking process for requests that ask for statistical information in the future.
A Systematic Review of COVID-19 and Pericarditis

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36120210/

Covid can cause severe respiratory illness; however, many cases of pericarditis have also been reported. 

COVID-19 pericarditis affected adult patients at any age. 

Chest pain (60%)

Fever (51%)

Shortness of breath (51%)

Cough (39%)

Fatigue (15%)

Myalgia (12%)

Diarrhea (12%)

Laboratory tests

Leukocytosis with neutrophil predominance

Elevated D-dimer

C-reactive protein

Cardiac markers including troponin-1, troponin-T

Radiographic imaging

31% of chest X-rays showed cardiomegaly and or bilateral infiltration. 

Cardiac tamponade

Electrocardiography (ECG)

59% of cases, ST elevation,

rarely PR depression or T wave inversion

The prevalence of COVID-19-related cardiac diseases is high, and pericarditis is a known extrapulmonary manifestation.

Good Afternoon Shaun

Further to our response to this request which was provided on 30th November 2022, an error has been found in the figures that were originally provided in relation to ED attendances for Myocarditis and Pericarditis. 

This was a formula error that occurred during the process of simplifying the data into a pivot table. The value that was displayed was the sum total of a numeric value within the raw data, specifically a row count, as the years progressed the row count increased meaning the sum was greater. The value displayed should have been a count and not a sum.

I have provided the correct information in attached spreadsheet. Please accept my sincere apologies for this. Please be assured that this was a genuine error and that we have implemented an additional checking process for requests that ask for statistical information in the future.
A Systematic Review of COVID-19 and Pericarditis

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36120210/

Covid can cause severe respiratory illness; however, many cases of pericarditis have also been reported. 

COVID-19 pericarditis affected adult patients at any age. 

Chest pain (60%)

Fever (51%)

Shortness of breath (51%)

Cough (39%)

Fatigue (15%)

Myalgia (12%)

Diarrhea (12%)

Laboratory tests

Leukocytosis with neutrophil predominance

Elevated D-dimer

C-reactive protein

Cardiac markers including troponin-1, troponin-T

Radiographic imaging

31% of chest X-rays showed cardiomegaly and or bilateral infiltration. 

Cardiac tamponade

Electrocardiography (ECG)

59% of cases, ST elevation,

rarely PR depression or T wave inversion

The prevalence of COVID-19-related cardiac diseases is high, and pericarditis is a known extrapulmonary manifestation.

 54. The care home thought that they should give her a mild sedative to stop her getting up and down so much and help her sleep through the night and keep the cannula in. My mum agreed to that but if she had known what the sedative was she would have said no as she was a retired nurse and, they (care home) should not have asked her anyway as she was not authorised to approve this. 
55. At this point my grandmother was eating and drinking by herself, moving to the toilet herself, that there was only mild symptoms and that they were giving her the nasal oxygen just as a precaution as her stats were a little low but, with the cannula in, she was fine. Her stats had actually improved 

65 I was provided with a document at a meeting I had with one of the solicitors. The document was the DNR but this had my name written on it. I was shocked as this was the first time I had seen this document and did not even know it existed.

      <title>Lower birth rates after vaccine </title>
      <description>Rates of successful conceptions according to COVID-19 vaccination status: Data from the Czech Republic
 
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09246479251353384
 
Vibeke and team, crowd funding, Me again - here is link to our crowdfunding - it would be great if you would link.

Observed
 
Adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccination on human menstrual cycle characteristics
 
Limited data, relationship, COVID-19 vaccination status and birth rates.

Objectives
 
Nationwide data from the Czech Republic
 
Rates of successful conceptions (SCs)
 
(conceptions leading to live births 9 months later)
 
For women who were either vaccinated or unvaccinated against COVID-19 before SC.

Summary monthly COVID-19 vaccination and birth data
 
Women in the Czech Republic aged 18–39
 
January 2021 to December 2023.

Results
 
1,300,000 women aged 18–39 years in the Czech Republic
 
Proportion of COVID-19-vaccinated women increased from January 2021 until reaching a steady state of around 70% by the end of 2021.
 
At least from June 2021, SCs per 1000 women were considerably lower for women who were vaccinated,
 
compared to those that were unvaccinated, before SC.
 
SC rates for the vaccinated group were much lower than expected based on their proportion of the total population.
 
Conclusions
 
SC rates were substantially lower for women vaccinated against COVID-19 before SC than for those who were not vaccinated.
 
These hypothesis-generating and preliminary results call for further studies of the potential influence of COVID-19 vaccination on human fecundability and fertility.

      <title>Global deaths under-reported </title>
      <description>Under reporting of deaths, 19 months into the pandemic

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html

Total deaths, 5,018,949

Total cases, 247,883,004

Total vaccine doses, 7,129,732,439

World Health Organization

https://www.who.int/data/stories/the-true-death-toll-of-covid-19-estimating-global-excess-mortality

Based on the excess mortality estimates produced for 2020

we are likely facing a significant undercount of total deaths directly and indirectly attributed to COVID-19

Many countries still lack functioning civil registration and vital statistics systems

Percentage of registered deaths

https://www.who.int/data/data-collection-tools/score/dashboard#/

98% in the European

10% in the African region

Comparisons difficult

Excess mortality

The difference in the total number of deaths in a crisis,

compared to those expected under normal conditions

Therefore, includes direct and indirect impact

WHO, 2020 data

Official, 1,813,100

Lower bound, 3 million

Region of the Americas in 2020

Excess mortality estimates range from 1.34 to 1.46 million

60% more than reported

European Region in 2020

Excess mortality estimates range from 

1.11 to 1.21 million

50% more than reported

https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates

Excess death calculations

Actual worldwide toll, 16.8 million excess deaths

95% probability, 10.3 million to 19.5 million

Official versus actual deaths (Economist)

      <title>How to probe excess deaths (clip)</title>
      <description>Investigating cause of excess deaths

In 1965, English statistician Sir Austin Bradford Hill

Causal relationships

Strength

The larger the association, the more likely that it is causal

Consistency, (reproducibility)

Consistent findings, different persons in different places

Specificity

No other likely explanation

Temporality

The effect has to occur after the cause (often with a delay)

Biological gradient, (dose response relationship)

Greater exposure should lead to greater incidence of the effect

(or indeed lower incident of effect)

Plausibility

A plausible mechanism between cause and effect

Coherence

Between epidemiological and laboratory findings

Experiment

Occasionally it is possible to appeal to experimental evidence

Analogy

Analogies or similarities between the observed association and any other associations

Reversibility

May work if there is no permanent damage

I’m an Australian embalmer and we are seeing the same clots

i have a friend who is a funeral director here in new zealand i asked him he said he was finding the same thing and i live in a small town . 

I know a guy who's wife is an embalmer. She said ever since the you know what she has never seen so many cases of clotted arteries in her life.

My Daughter passed away 29 years old. A Blood Clot they called it a Thrombotic Pulmonary embolism. The coroner told me that she was presenting these white type Clots. She was a New Mother and I miss Her dearly. I get upset thinking that when she had her jab they double dosed her. The Public Health Org. was supposed to follow up with Her but they didnt.

As a physician practicing in the USA, I’m extremely concerned about the rising excess deaths and its correlations to 2021 . Practitioner’s need to be brave and continue to speak out with compassion to educate our patients. I believe the dam is ready to break soon.

Johns past few episodes alone should be a wake-up call for an independent review body. There should be at the very least a database showing if the deceased were vaccinated or not and if so what type(s) of vaccine were administered. Thanks for highlighting these findings John.

I know of a 64 year old man, perfectly healthy, fully jabbed who died of a massive heart attack 2 months ago. The hospital ordered no autopsy! His wife has employed a Solicitor to insist an autopsy is done. Funny, it’s like the hospital has something to hide…can’t think why?

I’m an Australian embalmer and we are seeing the same clots

i have a friend who is a funeral director here in new zealand i asked him he said he was finding the same thing and i live in a small town . 

I know a guy who's wife is an embalmer. She said ever since the you know what she has never seen so many cases of clotted arteries in her life.

My Daughter passed away 29 years old. A Blood Clot they called it a Thrombotic Pulmonary embolism. The coroner told me that she was presenting these white type Clots. She was a New Mother and I miss Her dearly. I get upset thinking that when she had her jab they double dosed her. The Public Health Org. was supposed to follow up with Her but they didnt.

As a physician practicing in the USA, I’m extremely concerned about the rising excess deaths and its correlations to 2021 . Practitioner’s need to be brave and continue to speak out with compassion to educate our patients. I believe the dam is ready to break soon.

Johns past few episodes alone should be a wake-up call for an independent review body. There should be at the very least a database showing if the deceased were vaccinated or not and if so what type(s) of vaccine were administered. Thanks for highlighting these findings John.

I know of a 64 year old man, perfectly healthy, fully jabbed who died of a massive heart attack 2 months ago. The hospital ordered no autopsy! His wife has employed a Solicitor to insist an autopsy is done. Funny, it’s like the hospital has something to hide…can’t think why?<p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Omicron does reinfect after organic immunity</title>
      <description>Reinfections are probable, not good news actually

How likely somebody who has already had Covid to catch Omicron?

(catching it twice or more) 

Increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection associated with emergence of the Omicron variant in South Africa 

What is already known on this topic 

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.11.21266068v2.full.pdf

Prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 is estimated to provide 84% reduction in infection risk
 
What this study adds 

We find no evidence of increased reinfection risk associated with circulation of Beta or Delta variants,

compared to the ancestral strain in routine epidemiological data from South Africa. 

In contrast, we find clear, population-level evidence to suggest substantial immune evasion by the Omicron variant. 

Omicron selection advantage is at least partially driven by an increased ability to infect previously infected individuals. 

Omicron variant increases reinfection risk - Yes

Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 demonstrates substantial population-level evidence for evasion of immunity from prior infection. 

Retrospective analysis of routine epidemiological surveillance data 

4th March 2020 to 27th November 2021

South Africa’s National Notifiable Medical Conditions Surveillance System 

N = 2,796,982

Laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2

Results

35,670 suspected reinfections were identified 

among 2,796,982 individuals with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2,

who had a positive test result at least 90 days prior to 27th November 2021

35,670 individuals with at least two infections

332 individuals with third infections

1 individual with four infection

The relative hazard ratio for wave 2 versus wave 1 was 0.75

The relative hazard ratio for wave 3 versus wave 1 was 0.71

Relative hazard ratio for the period from 01 November 2021 to 27 November 2021

The relative hazard ratio for wave 4 versus wave 1 was 2.39

In the time of beta and delta

Increases in primary infections

No corresponding increase in reinfection hazard

In the time of omicron

Omicron variant, decrease in the hazard for primary infection

Increase in reinfection hazard coefficient

Conclusion

Population-level evidence suggests that the Omicron variant is associated with substantial ability to evade immunity from prior infection. 

In contrast, there is no population-wide epidemiological evidence of immune escape associated with the Beta or Delta variants. 

This finding has important implications for public health planning, 

particularly in countries like South Africa with high rates of immunity from prior infection. 

Urgent questions remain regarding whether Omicron is also able to evade vaccine-induced immunity,

and the potential implications on protection against severe disease and death. 

Prof Paul Hunter

The implications of this paper are that Omicron will be able to overcome natural and probably vaccine-induced immunity to a significant degree.
 
But, the degree is still unclear - though it is doubtful that this will represent complete escape.

Prof Francois Balloux, University College London

The higher estimated re-infection ability of the Omicron variant to cause re-infection is not overly surprising

and could be largely anticipated based on the large number of mutations in the spike protein carried by the omicron variant, 

which increase the Omicron variant's ability to bypass host immunity

      <description>Changes of ECG parameters after BNT162b2 vaccine in the senior high school students

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36602621/

Full text link

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9813456/

Data collected, December 2021

Published, January 2023

Aims

Determine the ECG parameter change

Determine efficacy of ECG screening after the second dose of BNT162b2

In cooperation with the school vaccination system of Taipei City government (Taiwan)

N = 4,928 (mostly male)

12 to 18 year old

Before and after 12 lead ECGs

Three follow up 12 lead ECGs

ECGs read by by pediatric cardiologists

Serial comparisons of ECGs and questionnaire survey

Heart rate increased significantly after the vaccine, 

(mean increase of 2.6 beats per minute)

QRS duration and QT interval decreased significantly after the vaccine with increasing heart rate

763 (17.1%) had at least one cardiac symptom after the second vaccine dose.

After the first dose, 209 (5.7%) had at least one cardiac symptom

Cardiac symptoms

Chest pain

Palpitations

Dizziness or syncope

Depolarization and repolarization parameters

All 4 cardiac symptoms significantly higher after the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine (p less than 0.001)

N = 4,928

Abnormal ECGs were obtained in 51 (1.0%)

31 students were asymptomatic

ST – T changes, 37

Premature ventricular contractions, 4

Sinus bradycardia, 2

Atrial tachycardia, 1

Incomplete right bundle branch block, 3

Abnormal QRS, 2

Prolonged QT, 2

4 judged to have significant arrhythmia

1 was diagnosed with mild myocarditis

10, suspected pericarditis

All of these symptoms improved over time

Asymptomatic at one month

No covid in Taiwan at this time.

Conclusion

Cardiac symptoms are common after the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine

Incidences of significant arrhythmias and myocarditis are 0.1%

One in a thousand

Rotavirus vaccine Rotashield, (1999)

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/rotavirus/vac-rotashield-historical.htm

1 to 2 serious events per 10,000 vaccinees

(Intussusception)

Vaccine withdrawn

From the authors

BNT162b2 has a better safety profile than mRNA-1273 Moderna

Cardiac-related adverse effects, as peri- and myocarditis, are of particular concern because of possible serious complications

US vaccina advice
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html#children

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html

CDC recommends one updated (bivalent) booster dose:

• For everyone aged 5 years and older if it has been at least 2 months since your last dose.

• For children aged 6 months–4 years who completed the Moderna primary series and if it has been at least 2 months since their last dose.

UK vaccine advice

Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine

Everyone aged 5 (on or before 31 August 2022) and over can get a 1st and 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

People aged 16 and over, and some children aged 12 to 15, can also get a booster dose.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9813456/

Data collected, December 2021

Published, January 2023

Aims

Determine the ECG parameter change

Determine efficacy of ECG screening after the second dose of BNT162b2

In cooperation with the school vaccination system of Taipei City government (Taiwan)

N = 4,928 (mostly male)

12 to 18 year old

Before and after 12 lead ECGs

Three follow up 12 lead ECGs

ECGs read by by pediatric cardiologists

Serial comparisons of ECGs and questionnaire survey

Heart rate increased significantly after the vaccine, 

(mean increase of 2.6 beats per minute)

QRS duration and QT interval decreased significantly after the vaccine with increasing heart rate

763 (17.1%) had at least one cardiac symptom after the second vaccine dose.

After the first dose, 209 (5.7%) had at least one cardiac symptom

Cardiac symptoms

Chest pain

Palpitations

Dizziness or syncope

Depolarization and repolarization parameters

All 4 cardiac symptoms significantly higher after the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine (p less than 0.001)

N = 4,928

Abnormal ECGs were obtained in 51 (1.0%)

31 students were asymptomatic

ST – T changes, 37

Premature ventricular contractions, 4

Sinus bradycardia, 2

Atrial tachycardia, 1

Incomplete right bundle branch block, 3

Abnormal QRS, 2

Prolonged QT, 2

4 judged to have significant arrhythmia

1 was diagnosed with mild myocarditis

10, suspected pericarditis

All of these symptoms improved over time

Asymptomatic at one month

No covid in Taiwan at this time.

Conclusion

Cardiac symptoms are common after the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine

Incidences of significant arrhythmias and myocarditis are 0.1%

One in a thousand

Rotavirus vaccine Rotashield, (1999)

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/rotavirus/vac-rotashield-historical.htm

1 to 2 serious events per 10,000 vaccinees

(Intussusception)

Vaccine withdrawn

From the authors

BNT162b2 has a better safety profile than mRNA-1273 Moderna

Cardiac-related adverse effects, as peri- and myocarditis, are of particular concern because of possible serious complications

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html

CDC recommends one updated (bivalent) booster dose:

• For everyone aged 5 years and older if it has been at least 2 months since your last dose.

• For children aged 6 months–4 years who completed the Moderna primary series and if it has been at least 2 months since their last dose.

UK vaccine advice

Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine

Everyone aged 5 (on or before 31 August 2022) and over can get a 1st and 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

People aged 16 and over, and some children aged 12 to 15, can also get a booster dose.

      <title>Stroke and death subsequent to Moderna</title>
      <description>Fatal Post COVID mRNA-Vaccine Associated Cerebral Ischemia

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37064937/

Keywords: COVID-19; Moderna vaccine; cerebral edema; neurology; stroke.

McMillan N, Rosenberg HJ, Anderson MP, Pal P, Stephenson K, Fehnel CR. Fatal Post COVID mRNA-Vaccine Associated Cerebral Ischemia. Neurohospitalist. 2023 Apr;13(2):156-158. doi: 10.1177/19418744221136898. Epub 2022 Dec 5. PMID: 37064937; PMCID: PMC10091442.

Department of Neurology, Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA.

Background

Venous thromboses have been linked to several COVID-19 vaccines

Here we describe a case of post-Moderna COVID-19 vaccination arterial infarct,

with vaccine-associated diffuse cortical edema,

that was complicated by refractory intracranial hypertension.

Case summary

24 hrs after receiving her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, 

a 30-year-old female developed severe headache. 

Three weeks later she was admitted with subacute headache and confusion. 

Imaging initially showed scattered cortical thrombosis with an elevated opening pressure on lumbar puncture. 

An external ventricular drain was placed, 

but she continued to have elevated intracranial pressure. 

Ultimately, she required a hemicraniectomy, 
but intractable cerebral edema resulted in her death. 

Pathology was consistent with thrombosis and associated inflammatory response.

Conclusion

Though correlational, her medical team surmised that the mRNA vaccine may have contributed to this presentation. 

The side effects of COVID-19 infection and vaccination are still incompletely understood. 

Though complications are rare, clinicians should be aware of presentations like this one.

More information

Had prior asymptomatic COVID-19 infection three months earlier

24-hours after first dose of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Moderna).

Developed severe, atypical throbbing bi-frontal headache

Headaches were atypical

(no prior headaches)

Three weeks after vaccination

Developed blurred vision and confusion

Bifrontal headache with photophobia

Lumbar puncture revealed lymphocytosis

Broad spectrum antimicrobial coverage was started. 

Her mental status acutely worsened later that evening

New left hemiparesis. 

Elevated D-dimer

CSF cultures and PCR testing returned negative

Intracranial pressure remained refractory to maximal medical management,

including deep sedation, paralysis and hypothermia, 

prompting a right decompressive hemicraniectomy. 

The patient expired from refractory cerebral edema. 

Brain autopsy showed infiltrates of CD8 and CD4-positive T-cells,

in association with intravascular thrombi

Fungal and bacterial stains were negative.

Discussion

Diffuse endothelial damage and vessel wall inflammation,

suggested an underlying pro-thrombotic state and T cell inflammatory response. 

The arterial infarct in this case is likely related to a pro-thrombotic state

Due to the large volume of infarction, the patient was not started on anticoagulation after extensive discussion of the risks vs potential benefit.

In summary, administration of COVID-19 vaccine was considered a possible cause of the extensive multifocal arterial thromboses with associated inflammatory response and elevated intracranial pressure given the temporal association. 

The mechanism for initial elevation in intracranial pressure is not known but may relate to cerebral autoregulatory changes in the setting of cortical microvascular thrombosis.

Section III

China’s early COVID-19 Vaccine Development versus the U.S. Operation Warp Speed 

Full genetic sequence, SARS-CoV-2

First posted, global virus database, January 11, 2020

Chinese professor, violated government restrictions

Then

Vaccine developers inserted viral genome into cells to produce viral proteins

Preclinical animal toxicity 

Safety and efficacy studies 

Human clinical safety and efficacy trials

Commercial scale vaccine production. 

Operation Warp Speed

Pre OWS work started on January 11, 2020

E.g. Adenovirus vector vaccines

The AstraZeneca-Oxford, went from sequence to phase I clinical trials in 103 days

(Ebola platform)

J and J was 185 days

Three adenovirus vector vaccines

Pfizer trail started 7th May 2020

Another Chinese vaccine was patented on 24th February 2020 

(Brigadier General Yusen Zhou, Academy of Military Medical Sciences)

Question

Did Chinese researchers have access to the genomic sequence before January 11, 2020? 

If so, how far in advance of January 11, 2020?


MEP Cristian Terhes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jTgDj7uiX8

Senator’s report on viral origins

(Richard Burr)

https://www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/report_an_analysis_of_the_origins_of_covid-19_102722.pdf

Section III

China’s early COVID-19 Vaccine Development versus the U.S. Operation Warp Speed 

Full genetic sequence, SARS-CoV-2

First posted, global virus database, January 11, 2020

Chinese professor, violated government restrictions

Then

Vaccine developers inserted viral genome into cells to produce viral proteins

Preclinical animal toxicity 

Safety and efficacy studies 

Human clinical safety and efficacy trials

Commercial scale vaccine production. 

Operation Warp Speed

Pre OWS work started on January 11, 2020

E.g. Adenovirus vector vaccines

The AstraZeneca-Oxford, went from sequence to phase I clinical trials in 103 days

(Ebola platform)

J and J was 185 days

Three adenovirus vector vaccines

Pfizer trail started 7th May 2020

Another Chinese vaccine was patented on 24th February 2020 

(Brigadier General Yusen Zhou, Academy of Military Medical Sciences)

Question

Did Chinese researchers have access to the genomic sequence before January 11, 2020? 

If so, how far in advance of January 11, 2020?

      <title>Where is herd immunity? </title>
      <description>Moderna boosters, recommended by FDA independent advisory panel

65 and older and for adults who are at high risk of severe illness

Six months

Half dose

Jacqueline Miller, head of Moderna’s infectious-disease therapeutic area

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/10/14/moderna-booster-shot-fda/

Six to eight months after vaccination, antibody levels dropped in vaccine recipients. 

A half-dose booster at least six months after initial vaccination restored antibodies levels

People from original trial, a clear uptick in breakthrough infections this July and August

UK ONS

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19/latestinsights#cis

Week ending 9 October 2021 

People that that had COVID-19 in the week 

Up in England, Wales and NI

Down in Scotland

1.63% in England (1 in 60 people)

2.18% in Wales (1 in 45 people)

0.82% in Northern Ireland (1 in 120 people)

1.26% in Scotland (1 in 80 people)

People testing positive for antibodies

93.6%

Mortality displacement did not offset excess deaths by mid-2021 

Some evidence of mortality displacement during the pandemic

Mortality displacement, when vulnerable people die sooner than expected

Potentially leading to a lower-than-average period of mortality 

These periods of below average mortality did not offset the high number of deaths since the beginning of the pandemic

3 January 2020 to 2 July 2021

97,981 excess deaths in England and Wales

(compared to what we would expect in a non-pandemic period). 

Within 28 days of a positive test, 138,379

Certificated, 161,798

Long covid

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19/latestinsights#cis

Long covid as of 5 September 2021

An estimated 1.1 million in the UK experiencing long COVID

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19/latestinsights#cis

1.7% of the total population were experiencing self-reported long COVID

Up from 970,000 (1.5%) at 1 August 2021

831,000 (77%) first had (or suspected they had) COVID-19 at least 12 weeks previously

405,000 (37%) first had (or suspected they had) COVID-19 at least one year previously

Symptoms adversely affected the day-to-day activities of around two-thirds (65%) of those with self-reported long COVID

Fatigue (56%)

Shortness of breath (40%)

Loss of smell (32%)

Difficulty concentrating (31%)

Professor Tim Spector

The UK seems to be slowly waking up to the fact that COVID cases are too high, 

but the reality is they’ve been soaring for months and many countries have put us on their red list. 

Infections remain high in young people, and look to be spilling over into the 35-55 year olds. 

If these increases creep into the over 55s it could spell disaster for the NHS this winter. 

Herd immunity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJHdFOwZjVI

Minimum 85%

With cases so high, it’s clear that herd immunity isn't happening

Current symptoms in vaccinated and children

Runny nose, 76%

Headache, 75%

Sneezing, 66%

Sore throat, 53%

Cough 53%

Loss of smell or taste

      <description>Worst ever Covid variant? Omicron 

B.1.1.529 

Increased contagion

Immune escape

Sicker people

WHO, VOC

https://www.who.int/news/item/26-11-2021-classification-of-omicron-(b.1.1.529)-sars-cov-2-variant-of-concern
The Technical Advisory Group on SARS-CoV-2 Virus Evolution
Independent group of experts
First reported to WHO from South Africa on 24th November 2021
South Africa, infections have increased steeply, coinciding with the detection of B.1.1.529 variant
The first known confirmed B.1.1.529 infection was from a specimen collected on 9th November 2021 
Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant
The number of cases of this variant appears to be increasing in almost all provinces in South Africa
Current SARS-CoV-2 PCR diagnostics continue to detect this variant. 
For one widely used PCR test, one of the three target genes is not detected
(called S gene dropout or S gene target failure)
This variant may have a growth advantage.

How did the new variant develop?

Professor Francois Balloux, Computational Biology Systems, University College London

Mutated during a chronic infection of a person whose immune system was already weakened by an untreated HIV/Aids infection

Botswana

Discovered, November 11th (collected 9th) 2021 in Botswana

South Africa

77 confirmed cases

90% of new cases in Gauteng, probably B.1.1.529

Early signs of rapid spread in Gauteng province, 900 cases per day

May have spread to eight other provinces in South Africa

SA, fully vaccinated, 24%

BioNTech-Pfizer need two weeks to assess new variant's impact

      <title>44% of hospitalisations boosted </title>
      <description>CDC Says 44% of People Hospitalized With COVID Had Third Dose or Booster

https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/980351?src=mkm_ret_220912_mscpmrk_trdalrtuk03_int&amp;uac=127834AR&amp;impID=4631827&amp;faf=1

Almost half the people who were hospitalized with COVID-19 last spring had been fully vaccinated and received a third dose or booster shot

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7134a3.htm?s_cid=mm7134a3_x

Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19–Associated Hospitalizations Among Adults During SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 Variant Predominance 

Data from the COVID-19–Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network

March 20–May 31, 2022

Among hospitalized nonpregnant patients

39.1% had received a primary vaccination series and 1 booster (3 jabs)

5.0% had received a primary series and ≥2 boosters (4 jabs)

39.1 + 5 = 44.1%

(Medscape is correct, well under by 0.1%)

Therefore, CDC advises

All adults should stay up to date† with COVID-19 vaccination, 

multiple nonpharmaceutical and medical prevention measures should be used to protect those at high risk for severe COVID-19 illness, 

irrespective of vaccination status

Why?

Unvaccinated adults were 3.4 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID than those who were vaccinated

Also in this CDC report

Hospitalization rates among adults aged ≥65 years,

increased threefold

Hospitalization rates in adults aged 18–49 and 50–64 years,

both increased 1.7-fold during omicron surge

Vaccine safety: content alleging that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognised by health authorities

Efficacy of vaccines: content claiming that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease 

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9891785

Claims that there is a guaranteed prevention method for COVID-19

Claims that any medication or vaccination is a guaranteed prevention method for COVID-19

Claims about COVID-19 vaccinations that contradict expert consensus from local health authorities or the WHO

Claims that an approved COVID-19 vaccine will cause death, infertility, miscarriage, autism or contraction of other infectious diseases

Claims that COVID-19 vaccines do not reduce risk of serious illness or death

New Zealand drops mask and vaccine mandates in sweeping Covid changes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/12/new-zealand-drops-mask-and-vaccine-mandates-in-sweeping-covid-changes

Hospitalisations, (NZ key metric) down sharply in recent weeks

Jacinda Ardern

Today marks a milestone in our response. 

Finally, rather than feeling that Covid dictates what happens to us, 

our lives, and our futures, 

we take back control

Mask-wearing, only compulsory in healthcare settings

(largely ignored anyway)

End of vaccine mandates, for workers and inbound travellers

Tests on arrival in NZ, encouraged

Covid-positives, still required to isolate (no longer household contacts)

This will be the first summer in three years where there won’t be the question of what we will and what won’t be cancelled because of Covid cases

      <itunes:summary>CDC Says 44% of People Hospitalized With COVID Had Third Dose or Booster

https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/980351?src=mkm_ret_220912_mscpmrk_trdalrtuk03_int&amp;uac=127834AR&amp;impID=4631827&amp;faf=1

Almost half the people who were hospitalized with COVID-19 last spring had been fully vaccinated and received a third dose or booster shot

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7134a3.htm?s_cid=mm7134a3_x

Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19–Associated Hospitalizations Among Adults During SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 Variant Predominance 

Data from the COVID-19–Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network

March 20–May 31, 2022

Among hospitalized nonpregnant patients

39.1% had received a primary vaccination series and 1 booster (3 jabs)

5.0% had received a primary series and ≥2 boosters (4 jabs)

39.1 + 5 = 44.1%

(Medscape is correct, well under by 0.1%)

Therefore, CDC advises

All adults should stay up to date† with COVID-19 vaccination, 

multiple nonpharmaceutical and medical prevention measures should be used to protect those at high risk for severe COVID-19 illness, 

irrespective of vaccination status

Why?

Unvaccinated adults were 3.4 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID than those who were vaccinated

Also in this CDC report

Hospitalization rates among adults aged ≥65 years,

increased threefold

Hospitalization rates in adults aged 18–49 and 50–64 years,

both increased 1.7-fold during omicron surge

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/11161123

Vaccine safety: content alleging that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognised by health authorities

Efficacy of vaccines: content claiming that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease 

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9891785

Claims that there is a guaranteed prevention method for COVID-19

Claims that any medication or vaccination is a guaranteed prevention method for COVID-19

Claims about COVID-19 vaccinations that contradict expert consensus from local health authorities or the WHO

Claims that an approved COVID-19 vaccine will cause death, infertility, miscarriage, autism or contraction of other infectious diseases

Claims that COVID-19 vaccines do not reduce risk of serious illness or death

New Zealand drops mask and vaccine mandates in sweeping Covid changes

      <description>Check this out, https://lighthousedeclaration.org/declaration/
Ros Nealon-Cook, a psychologist from Australia, had her license suspended for sounding the alarm about the harms to children from government pandemic policy. Ros has joined forces with a number health professionals from around the world who were similarly censored and silenced. Together, they have created The Cape Byron Lighthouse Declaration to raise awareness about the widespread propaganda and censorship of expert scientific opinion. You can read and sign the declaration here: www.lighthousedeclaration.world – adding your signature will take less than a minute.
 
In the coming months, the Lighthouse Declaration team will host a series of webinars and roundtables to further expand the conversation on these critical issues.

      <title>Booster do work </title>
      <description>Booster doses probably needed by most people, unfortunately.

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#covidnet-hospitalizations-vaccination

US, 20.6 million so far

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html

Six months after 2nd shot

65 years and older

50–64 years with underlying medical conditions

18 – 64 years, working / living in high-risk settings

18 years and older, 2 months Johnson &amp; Johnson/Janssen

Protection of BNT162b2 Vaccine Booster against Covid-19 in Israel (NEJM, October 2021)

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.27.21262679v1

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2114255?

July 30, 2021, over 602

Third (booster) dose of the Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccine was approved

60 years or older who had been fully vaccinated

August 29th, anyone over 12

At least five months previously

N = 1,144,690

2 dynamic cohorts

2 vaccines only

N = 5.2 million person days

4,439 confirmed infections

294 cases of severe covid
(based on 4.6 million person days)

2 vaccines + booster

N = 10.6 million person days

934 confirmed infections

29 cases of severe COVID-19
(based on 6.3 million person days)

(despite older demographic)

Twelve days or more after the booster dose

Increases antibody neutralization levels ~10-fold compared to after 2nd dose

11.3 fold decrease in the relative risk of confirmed infection

Efficacy among booster recipients to approximately 95%

(May have waned to 50% with time and delta variant)

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262423v1

19.5 fold decrease in the relative risk of severe illness

Factor reduction in reduced rate of confirmed infection in boosted versus none-boosted

In conjunction with safety reports

this study demonstrates the effectiveness of a third vaccine dose,

in both reducing transmission and severe disease,

indicates the great potential of curtailing the Delta variant resurgence by administering booster shots

Decline in immunity, UK data

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/over-eight-million-people-in-the-uk-receive-covid-19-booster-jabs

Protection against symptomatic disease, Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine  

65%, up to 3 months after the second dose

45% 6 months after the second dose

Protection against symptomatic disease, Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine

90% up to 3 months after 2nd dose

65% 6 months after the second dose

Protection against hospitalisation, Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine 

95% at 3 months

75% at 6 months 

Protection against hospitalisation, Pfizer/BioNTech

99% at 3 months

90% at 6 months

Why this is important

A small change can generate a major shift in hospital admissions

A change from 95% to 90% against hospitalisation would lead to doubling of admissions in those vaccinated

Early UK booster results from Pfizer

Booster restores protection back up to 

95.6% against symptomatic infection

Booster doses, Situation in UK

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/over-eight-million-people-in-the-uk-receive-covid-19-booster-jabs

8,115,229 boosted so far

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-booster-vaccine/

Booster vaccine doses, available on the NHS

People most at risk from COVID-19,

who have had a 2nd dose of a vaccine at least 6 months ago

(after 5 months for high risk groups)

This includes:

Aged 50 and over

Frontline health / care workers

16 and over with a health condition

16 and over, carers or live with venerable people

Pregnant women in eligible groups

COVID-19 booster vaccine and flu vaccine

If you are offered both vaccines, it's safe to have them at the same time.

11.3 fold decrease in the relative risk of confirmed infection

Efficacy among booster recipients to approximately 95%

(May have waned to 50% with time and delta variant)

19.5 fold decrease in the relative risk of severe illness

Factor reduction in reduced rate of confirmed infection in boosted versus none-boosted

In conjunction with safety reports

this study demonstrates the effectiveness of a third vaccine dose,

in both reducing transmission and severe disease,

indicates the great potential of curtailing the Delta variant resurgence by administering booster shots

Decline in immunity, UK data

Protection against symptomatic disease, Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine  

65%, up to 3 months after the second dose

45% 6 months after the second dose

Protection against symptomatic disease, Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine

90% up to 3 months after 2nd dose

65% 6 months after the second dose

Protection against hospitalisation, Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine 

95% at 3 months

75% at 6 months 

Protection against hospitalisation, Pfizer/BioNTech

99% at 3 months

90% at 6 months

Why this is important

A small change can generate a major shift in hospital admissions

A change from 95% to 90% against hospitalisation would lead to doubling of admissions in those vaccinated

Early UK booster results from Pfizer

Booster restores protection back up to 

95.6% against symptomatic infection

Booster doses, Situation in UK

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/over-eight-million-people-in-the-uk-receive-covid-19-booster-jabs

8,115,229 boosted so far

Booster vaccine doses, available on the NHS

People most at risk from COVID-19,

who have had a 2nd dose of a vaccine at least 6 months ago

(after 5 months for high risk groups)

This includes:

Aged 50 and over

Frontline health / care workers

16 and over with a health condition

16 and over, carers or live with venerable people

Pregnant women in eligible groups

COVID-19 booster vaccine and flu vaccine

If you are offered both vaccines, it's safe to have them at the same time.

      <title>Most colds non-covid </title>
      <description>If you have a cold I the UK just now it is much more likely to be caused by a non-covid  virus.

UK, Zoe health study data

1.25% in Northern Ireland (1 in 80 people) 

1.88% in Scotland (1 in 55 people)

Lower perveance than Zoe data

Probably because a larger percentage of cases are asymptomatic,

And, ONS numbers will be higher next week

who are being treated primarily for COVID-19

(English regions, 18 June 2021 to 31 August 2022)

Of those

83% symptoms at least 12 weeks

45% symptoms at least one yea

22% symptoms at least two years

Symptoms

Fatigue, 62%

SOB, 37%

Difficulty concentrating, 33%

Muscle ache, 31%

Symptoms adversely affected the day-to-day activities, 1.5 million (73% of those with self-reported long COVID)

Witness statements:

Gilliant Grant- https://www.covid19inquiry.scot/sites/default/files/ev-documents/sci-wt0142-000002.pdf

I was provided with a document at a meeting I had with one of the solicitors. The document was the DNR but this had my name written on it. I was shocked as this was the first time I had seen this document and did not even know it existed. I had never had any sight of this document before meeting with the solicitor. Initially it was thought a DNR document had been signed by my mum. This is incorrect. There is no signed DNR by my mum. The DNR had my name on it. I had never given permission for the DNR and I am very shocked and upset that this has my name on it. I do not understand it. The DNR is incomplete. The first part of the DNR asked if the patient authorises the DNR. This part had been left blank. The next part asks if the welfare attorney/ guardian authorises this and has my name written next to it but it is not dated. 

The part below that is signed by the GP and is dated for 2 November 2020. On this date my gran was showing only very mild signs of COVID symptoms. My gran suffered from mild dementia but had enough capacity to make her own decisions. I was asked about a DNR but categorically stated that I was not prepared to make any decision on a DNR if she was not critically ill and I knew she could make these decisions for herself. I was very clear and strongly worded on this with the care home. 

I think this conversation happened on the 2 of November 2020 and this is the date of the DNR. I think this is very important to include because I am shocked that this document exists as I had no knowledge of this before being presented with it and I had never authorised a DNR but this has my name on it. I would be happy for the inquiry to be provided with a copy of the DNR. It was also stated on these records that we did not wish her to go to hospital and this was also untrue. I stated on several occasions that if she deteriorated I wanted her to go to hospital immediately.

      <title>DNA and Florida </title>
      <description>Tallahassee, Fla. State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo

The Surgeon General outlined concerns regarding nucleic acid contaminants

Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, 

Lipid nanoparticles ….  may therefore be an equally efficient vehicle for delivering contaminant DNA into human cells. 

The presence of SV40 promoter/enhancer DNA may also pose a unique and heightened risk of DNA integration into human cells.

2007, FDA published guidance on regulatory limits for DNA vaccines

https://www.fda.gov/media/73667/download?utm_source=floridahealth.gov&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=PressRelease&amp;utm_content=Florida%27s_Future_Budget&amp;url_trace_7f2r5y6=Press_Release_Template_fry_2023_alt.docx

In this Guidance for Industry, the FDA outlines important considerations for vaccines that use novel methods of delivery regarding DNA integration, specifically:

• DNA integration could theoretically impact a human’s oncogenes

• DNA integration may result in chromosomal instability.

• The Guidance for Industry discusses biodistribution of DNA vaccines and how such integration could affect unintended parts of the body including blood, heart, brain, liver, kidney, bone marrow, ovaries/testes, lung, draining lymph nodes, spleen, the site of administration at injection site.

it is essential to human health to assess the risks of contaminant DNA integration into human DNA. 

The FDA has provided no evidence that these risks have been assessed to ensure safety. 

As such, Florida State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo has released the following statement:

“The FDA’s response does not provide data or evidence that the DNA integration assessments they recommended themselves have been performed. 

DNA integration poses a unique and elevated risk to human health and to the integrity of the human genome, 

including the risk that DNA integrated into sperm or egg gametes could be passed onto offspring of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients. 

If the risks of DNA integration have not been assessed for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, these vaccines are not appropriate for use in human beings.

It is my hope that, in regard to COVID-19, the FDA will one day seriously consider its regulatory responsibility to protect human health, including the integrity of the human genome.”


DNA fragments detected in monovalent and bivalent Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna modRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Ontario, Canada: Exploratory dose response relationship with serious adverse events.

These data demonstrate the presence of billions to hundreds of billions of DNA molecules per dose in these vaccines. 

Using fluorometry, all vaccines exceed the guidelines for residual DNA set by FDA and WHO of 10 ng/dose by 188 – 509-fold. 

In an exploratory analysis, we found preliminary evidence of a dose response relationship of the amount of DNA per dose and the frequency of serious adverse events (SAEs). 

Our findings extend existing concerns about vaccine safety and call into question the relevance of guidelines conceived before the introduction of efficient transfection using LNPs.

Bacterial DNA has been found in mRNA vaccine vials. 

A cancer-promoting genetic sequence—SV40—has been found in the Covid-19 vaccines. 

This was not present in the vials used for the approval studies but has been found in all vials of the BioNTech vials disseminated for public use.

DNACPR (DNR)
44. They asked Jamie five times to sign a DNR, a do not resuscitate document and he kept telling them no. 

The following day (28th March) they asked him again and
it was five times in total that they asked him to sign a DNR.

There were two other occasions and he repeatedly said they would need to speak to me.

46. Jamie got upset enough about this that he called me; he wanted me to reassure him that I wouldn't agree to it. He was terrified. 

He never signed one and there were never any conversations about DNR before.

They eventually tested him for Covid. Jamie was initially told that the result was negative but then the doctor came round to see him later that day and said he had tested positive. He said the doctor thought he was over the worst of it. 

My friend works in the hospital, and she said that there had been e-mails and a leaflet sent out to say who would and wouldn't get treatment so I knew Jamie wouldn't get it. 

53. On 4th April Jamie facetimed me; he looked really well. He was up and dressed. Jamie's oxygen must have been reduced because I had no trouble hearing him. He was laughing and joking away. I thought he must have been getting better and I would get him home soon. I asked if he was getting out and he said he would ask the doctor.

Bereavement.

57. She asked if I understood that Jamie was
going to die. I said absolutely not as he was sitting up in bed joking yesterday. 

60. They gave Jamie midazolam to help him sleep. I went home but asked them to phone me and I would come straight back as I didn't want him to be alone.

61. I got a call the next morning (8th April 2020) to ask me to go back to the hospital. They said, 'it was time.' When I arrived, there were five nurses in the room with him in case I didn't arrive in time.

62. Jamie was in and out of consciousness most of that day; he was scared because he was having trouble breathing. He kept grabbing onto the bed rails frantically and shouting to me as he struggled to breath. 

The palliative care team came in and asked if I would like them to give him something to make him more comfortable; I agreed. They rotated the midazolam with morphine.

63. Jamie passed away at 11.29pm that night. Before Jamie passed away, we got married. He had been asking me and up until he became really ill, I had always said no not until you are better. I thought it was the last thing I could have done for him. He knew what was going on, a nurse took a video, and they got rings from the lost and found.

64. My mum got the chaplain, and we were able to get married in the hospital.

      <title>BBC and vitamin D </title>
      <description>33% reduction in hospitalization with acute respiratory infections, (upper and lower)

Covid
Influenza 
Bronchitis
Pneumonia

Prostate cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, cancer treatments, dementia, diabetes type 2, metabolic syndrome, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, all infections, covid, TB, low mood, Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s, MSK pains and problems, osteoporosis, MS, RA, SLE, DM1, Crohn’s, psoriasis, eczema, hypertension, CAD, heart failure, stroke, preeclampsia

Vitamin D deficiency linked to hospital admissions

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czx3g1d57xpo

University of Surrey

People with a severe vitamin D deficiency (below 15 nmol/L), a third more likely to be admitted to hospital with conditions including bronchitis and pneumonia.

(15 nmol/L is 6 ng / ml)

Abi Bournot, (lead author)

"antibacterial and antiviral properties" of vitamin D are thought to help reduce the risk of respiratory tract infections."

Improves immune recognition
Supports T and B cell response
Reduces excessive pro-inflammatory cytokines

Promotes production of antimicrobial peptides against bacterial infections.

Enhances antiviral white cell function, e.g. promotes interferon reserves

"This research attaches hard data to support the theory.

"Despite its importance to our overall health, many people are deficient and do not meet the government's recommended intake of 10 microgrammes of vitamin D per day."

(10 micrograms is 400 iu)

NHS data from 36,258 people. (40 to 69)

For each 10 nmol/l (4 ng / ml) increase in vitamin D, 

the hospital admission rate for respiratory tract infections fell by 4%.

Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D status and respiratory tract infections requiring hospital admission: unmatched case-control analysis of ethnic groups from the United Kingdom Biobank cohort

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002916525007713?via%3Dihub

Background

Vitamin D status has been found to be inversely associated with risk of respiratory tract infections (RTIs). 

Methods

An unmatched case-control study (Observational, cases are not individually matched on specific characteristics)

Data from United Kingdom Biobank

Includes 500k adults with serum 25(OH)D status and hospital episodes

N = 36,258, n = 27,872

Results

34% were White

28% Asian

19% Black

11% other

7% of mixed ethnicity.

Covid
Influenza 
Bronchitis
Pneumonia

Prostate cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, cancer treatments, dementia, diabetes type 2, metabolic syndrome, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, all infections, covid, TB, low mood, Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s, MSK pains and problems, osteoporosis, MS, RA, SLE, DM1, Crohn’s, psoriasis, eczema, hypertension, CAD, heart failure, stroke, preeclampsia

Vitamin D deficiency linked to hospital admissions

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czx3g1d57xpo

University of Surrey

People with a severe vitamin D deficiency (below 15 nmol/L), a third more likely to be admitted to hospital with conditions including bronchitis and pneumonia.

(15 nmol/L is 6 ng / ml)

Abi Bournot, (lead author)

"antibacterial and antiviral properties" of vitamin D are thought to help reduce the risk of respiratory tract infections."

Improves immune recognition
Supports T and B cell response
Reduces excessive pro-inflammatory cytokines

Promotes production of antimicrobial peptides against bacterial infections.

Enhances antiviral white cell function, e.g. promotes interferon reserves

"This research attaches hard data to support the theory.

"Despite its importance to our overall health, many people are deficient and do not meet the government's recommended intake of 10 microgrammes of vitamin D per day."

(10 micrograms is 400 iu)

NHS data from 36,258 people. (40 to 69)

For each 10 nmol/l (4 ng / ml) increase in vitamin D, 

the hospital admission rate for respiratory tract infections fell by 4%.

Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D status and respiratory tract infections requiring hospital admission: unmatched case-control analysis of ethnic groups from the United Kingdom Biobank cohort

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002916525007713?via%3Dihub

Background

Vitamin D status has been found to be inversely associated with risk of respiratory tract infections (RTIs). 

Methods

An unmatched case-control study (Observational, cases are not individually matched on specific characteristics)

Data from United Kingdom Biobank

Includes 500k adults with serum 25(OH)D status and hospital episodes

N = 36,258, n = 27,872

Results

34% were White

28% Asian

19% Black

11% other

7% of mixed ethnicity.

RTI rate was 8.5%

(median time to RTI, 14.8 y)

Each 25(OH)D +10 nmol/L increase) was significantly associated with a 4% lower hazard ratio (HR) for RTI hospitalization.

      <title>Confirmed disturbing scandal</title>
      <description>Worst treatment sandal in HNS history (so far).

Infected blood report

https://www.infectedbloodinquiry.org.uk/reports

https://www.infectedbloodinquiry.org.uk/reports/inquiry-report

Rishi Sunak

“a day of shame for the British state”

“Today’s report shows a decades-long moral failure at the heart of our national life – from the National Health Service to the Civil Service, to ministers in successive governments, at every level the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way.

“They failed the victims and their families and they failed this country.”

“moral failure at the heart of our national life” in which doctors, civil servants and ministers had put reputations above patient safety.

“On behalf of this and every government stretching back to the 1970s, I am truly sorry.”

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/20/infected-blood-scandal-inquiry-live-latest/

The final report concluded

 Health service and governments took part in a “chilling” cover-up, as they “closed ranks” to hide the truth, even destroying documents to keep patients in the dark.

Sir Brian Langstaff

the “horrifying” scandal could and should have been avoided, but a “catalogue of failures” led to “calamity”.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/20/nhs-cover-up-avoidable-disaster-infected-blood-inquiry/

“It will be astonishing to anyone who reads this report that these events could have happened in the UK

…that a level of suffering which it is difficult to comprehend, still less understand, has been caused to so many”.

victims of the scandal “have been forced into a decades-long battle for the truth

“Successive governments claimed that patients had received the best medical treatment available at the time, and that blood screening had been introduced at the earliest opportunity. Both claims were untrue.

“Standing back, and viewing the response of the NHS and of government overall, the answer to the question ‘was there a cover-up?’ is that there has been.

“Not in the sense of a handful of people plotting in an orchestrated conspiracy to mislead, but in a way that was more subtle, more pervasive and more chilling in its implications.

“In this way there has been a hiding of much of the truth.”

tragedy “was not an accident”.

        <![CDATA[Doomsday Clock

2026, Jan 27th 85 seconds to midnight

Closest to catastrophe since the Clock was created

World with high existential risks, intended to motivate action

Midnight is civilization-ending disaster, existential risks. 

Panel of experts sets it once a year

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Science and Security Board

https://thebulletin.org/about-us/science-and-security-board/

https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/timeline/

Origins

1947, scientists concerned about nuclear weapons after World War II

Many had worked on Manhattan.

Set at 7 minutes to midnight, to express urgency of nuclear danger. 

Late October 1962

Purpose

To warn the public and policymakers, threat of human-made global catastrophe. 

Forward and back 27 times

Best time, 1991, end of the Cold War.

2025, risk from technologies and international discord

2026, Jan 27th 85 seconds to midnight

Combination of Global Risks

Nuclear Weapons and Warfare

The original and still core risk

Expansion, modernization, and poor arms control, miscalculation, accident, sabotage, madness or conflict. 

Interview with Alfred Werner, Liberal Judaism, no. 16 (April–May 1949), Einstein Archive 30-1104 

https://wist.info/einstein-albert/25402/

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

Conventional War

Limitations of one resource, water, food, land

Civil war

Mass murder and genocide

Climate Change

Severe climate disruption

Rising temperatures, extreme weather, and slow policy responses, cascading impacts.

Climate manipulation, stratospheric spraying

Disruptive Technologies

Artificial intelligence, misinformation, information warfare, cyber instability, or autonomous weapons. 

“colossal opportunities and threats that are difficult to predict now.”

“the one who becomes the leader in this sphere will be the ruler of the world.”

“it would be strongly undesirable if someone wins a monopolist position” 

“when one party’s drones are destroyed by drones of another, it will have no other choice but to surrender.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin (2017)

Undersea cable destruction

Deepfakes

Biological Threats &amp; Biosecurity

Engineered pathogens, pandemics, gaps in biodefense systems are concerns in recent assessments. 

James Bond level villains

Arrogant philanthropists

Reducing sperm counts

Chemical accidents and attacks

Geopolitical Tensions &amp; Governance

Breakdown in international cooperation, rising nationalism, rising antinationalism, loss of the nation state, international ‘elites’

Maleficent international organisations.

Population reduction advocates

Financial manipulation

Mass migration

Control and Manipulation of Global Food Supply

Misinformation and scaremongering

Monoculture of plants and animals

Environmental sabotage and soil degradation

Economic land domination / imperialism

The clock can be pushed back

Reduce risk of nuclear war

Stop climate manipulation

Plant more trees, localise food production.

Egalitarian food production

Egalitarian access to therapeutics

Stronger oversight of gain-of-function and dual-use research

Clear international rules on biological research

Transparency instead of secrecy during outbreaks

Control high risk technologies

Keep humans in the loop

Science / evidence-based policymaking

Change most national and world leaders

      <description>Dr Tina Peers is a physician with a special interest in menopause, an inflammatory condition called mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and chronic fatigue. In this video Dr. Peers presents information that indicates MCAS is much more common than most doctors believe. She follows principles agreed by the key workers and opinion leaders in the MCAS field. This allows Dr. peers to practice treatment strategies that can transform many lives for the better.

Dr. Peers has also recently been treating people after covid vaccine injury.

Link to Hansard full transcript, https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2024-01-16/debates/152B485D-812D-43CC-9D25-C2B651564810/ExcessDeathTrends?highlight=westminster%20hall#contribution-46059AFE-9A03-472B-9364-0BF972E2E7D8

Philip Davies 
(Shipley) (Con) 
As we have seen in data published by the ONS, non-covid excess deaths continue to run higher than they should. People are dying unexpectedly across all age groups, particularly at home. Since the restrictions in March 2020, there have been 110,000 excess deaths in people’s own homes. In the week ending 22 December 2023, deaths at home were 11% higher than the five-year average. In the first 11 months of 2023, over 21,000 excess deaths took place at home, which is roughly one every 25 minutes.
Last month an article in The Lancet, co-authored by the head of mortality analysis at the ONS, stated that although
“the causes of these excess deaths are likely to be multiple”,
ONS data did show some clear trends—in particular, the “largest relative excess deaths” since the pandemic occurred in young and middle-aged adults, with the number of cardiac deaths happening outside hospitals the most elevated. In other words, young and previously healthy people are dying at home from cardiac-related events, and we do not know why. The article concludes:
“Timely and granular analyses are needed to…inform prevention and disease management efforts.”
Let us be clear: this is not a new phenomenon. Experts have been raising concerns about excess deaths since as early as 2021. I remember seeing an interview with Professor Carl Heneghan, professor of evidence-based medicine at Oxford University, where he called for an investigation into the 75,000 excess deaths at home between March 2020 and October 2021. Some 90% of those excess deaths were not covid-related, but related to things such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Many of those deaths could have been prevented had people not been dissuaded from seeking care, because they were told by the media and the Government to stay at home and protect the NHS. Perhaps they tried to get help but were dismissed by a health service concerned with only one disease.
The calls for an investigation went ignored then, just as they are ignored now. Perhaps the covid inquiry, as others have said, should make better use of Professor Heneghan’s time by asking about this topic rather than the tittle-tattle that it seems to revel in. The pertinent question is: why did we lock down at all? That is what I think did the biggest damage.
We can all speculate on the cause of excess deaths, which are clearly happening, from withdrawal of healthcare during lockdown, the increased risk of sedentary lifestyles and alcohol consumption, the impact of the pandemic and related restrictions on NHS staffing levels, increasing NHS waiting times, lack of access to emergency care, covid-19 vaccine adverse reactions or another unknown cause—perhaps a mix of all of the above. Until the Government commit to a robust and independent investigation, we will not know for sure and the speculation will keep going. That is why the Government need an investigation rapidly.

This dataset presents the latest data on All-cause death statistics 

Excess mortality and COVID-19 deaths, by week, for all OECD countries for which data are available.

The expected number of deaths is based on the average number of deaths for the same week, (2015-19)
 
This baseline could be considered a lower estimate of the expected number of deaths since both population growth and an ageing population would be expected to push up the number of deaths observed each year.
 
For example, New Zealand saw its population grow by around 9% since 2015, with the number of people aged 65 and over increasing by 18%.

This dataset presents the latest data on All-cause death statistics 

Excess mortality and COVID-19 deaths, by week, for all OECD countries for which data are available.

The expected number of deaths is based on the average number of deaths for the same week, (2015-19)
 
This baseline could be considered a lower estimate of the expected number of deaths since both population growth and an ageing population would be expected to push up the number of deaths observed each year.
 
For example, New Zealand saw its population grow by around 9% since 2015, with the number of people aged 65 and over increasing by 18%.

      <title>Down's prejudice</title>
      <description>Chief Executive of Down's Syndrome Scotland

123. Our experience is that there is still what we call 'diagnostic overshadowing'. What we see is, when somebody presents at a GP practice or at a hospital with Down's syndrome, we commonly see them focus on the Down's syndrome and the presenting health issues are almost nullified because they say, "Well that is part of the Down's syndrome". 

However, it is a health issue that needs to be
addressed but they cannot see past the Down's syndrome. That was certainly heightened during the pandemic.

124. We are quite strong about this and want to make our feelings clear. That is a form of discrimination, and we will call it out as discrimination. I think it is fair to say that the frailty scale issue and that access to equal healthcare existed before the pandemic, it was just escalated in the pandemic.

125. We had an incident not long after the pandemic where a gentleman went for a heart appointment, a cardiac appointment, and the specialist in the treatment room turned round to the young man's mother, the man was in his 20s, and she said, "I do not know whether it's worth operating on somebody like him". 

Those were the words that came out and that was the mindset, that his life is less worthy because he's got Down's syndrome to undergo heart treatment.

Woman with Down’s syndrome loses court of appeal abortion law case

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/nov/25/heidi-crowter-woman-downs-syndrome-loses-court-of-appeal-abortion-law-case

Heidi Crowter argued that the law was discriminatory and stigmatised disabled people

Heidi Crowter, who brought the case alongside Máire Lea-Wilson, whose son Aidan also has Down’s syndrome, had argued that allowing pregnancy terminations up to birth if the foetus has the condition is discriminatory and stigmatises disabled people. But in a ruling on Friday, three senior judges dismissed the appeal and said abortion laws were for parliament to decide.

Heidi Crowter

“absolutely distraught” by the ruling,

and the existing law made her feel that people like her should be “extinct”.

I am very upset that babies with Down’s syndrome can be aborted up to birth. This tells me that I am not valued and of much less value than a person without Down’s syndrome. I am angry that the judges say that my feelings don’t matter. That makes me feel that I am not as valuable as a person without Down’s syndrome.

      <title>Upside-down food pyramid</title>
      <description>US Department of Health and Human Services and the US Department of Agriculture

Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA)

https://cdn.realfood.gov/DGA.pdf

Synthesizes the latest nutritional research and offers revamped eating advice every five years.

Good, but

? too much emphasis on animal protein

Not much emphasis on legumes and other plant-based proteins

Concerns about animal welfare

From DGA, 2025 – 2030

The message is simple: eat real food.

To Make America Healthy Again, we must return to the basics. 

American households must prioritize diets built on whole,
nutrient-dense foods:
protein, dairy, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and whole grains. 

Paired with a dramatic reduction in highly processed foods:

laden with refined carbohydrates, added sugars, excess sodium, unhealthy fats, and chemical additives, 

this approach can change the health trajectory for so many Americans.

The United States is amid a health emergency. Nearly 90% of health care spending goes to treating people who have chronic diseases.

The consequences have been devastating. 

More than 70% of American adults are overweight or obese.

Nearly one in three American adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 has prediabetes.

Diet-driven chronic disease now disqualifies large numbers of young Americans from military service, 

undermining national readiness and cutting off a historic pathway to opportunity and upward mobility.

For decades, federal incentives have promoted low-quality, highly processed foods and pharmaceutical intervention instead of prevention. 

This crisis is the result of poor policy choices; inadequate nutrition research; and a lack of coordination across federal, state, local, and private partners.

We are realigning our food system to support American farmers, ranchers, and companies who grow and produce real food

We are putting real food back at the center of the American diet. 

Real food that nourishes the body. 

Real food that restores health. 

Real food that fuels energy and encourages movement and exercise. 

Real food that builds strength.

We are restoring common sense, scientific integrity, and accountability to federal food and health policy

We are reclaiming the food pyramid and returning it to its true purpose of educating and nourishing all Americans.

Together, we can shift our food system away from chronic disease and toward nutrient density, nourishment, resilience, and long-term health.

America’s future depends on what we grow, what we serve, and what we choose to eat.

Most Americans ignore the country’s dietary guidelines, but millions will be directly affected.

Guidelines shape federally funded nutrition programs

E.g. Federal money

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/11/14/what-the-data-says-about-food-stamps-in-the-us/

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/03/us-dietary-guidelines?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

42 million served by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap or food stamps)

6.7 million moms and children in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

2.6 million seniors; and in the Meals on Wheels program. 

Unspecified number of mostly low-income, food-insecure or health-challenged Americans through Food Is Medicine programs. 

Almost 30 million children, Fed funded school lunches

(several years to filter through systems)

Real food that nourishes the body. 

Real food that restores health. 

Real food that fuels energy and encourages movement and exercise. 

Real food that builds strength.

We are restoring common sense, scientific integrity, and accountability to federal food and health policy

We are reclaiming the food pyramid and returning it to its true purpose of educating and nourishing all Americans.

Together, we can shift our food system away from chronic disease and toward nutrient density, nourishment, resilience, and long-term health.

America’s future depends on what we grow, what we serve, and what we choose to eat.

Most Americans ignore the country’s dietary guidelines, but millions will be directly affected.

Guidelines shape federally funded nutrition programs

E.g. Federal money

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/03/us-dietary-guidelines?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

42 million served by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap or food stamps)

6.7 million moms and children in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

2.6 million seniors; and in the Meals on Wheels program. 

Unspecified number of mostly low-income, food-insecure or health-challenged Americans through Food Is Medicine programs. 

Almost 30 million children, Fed funded school lunches

(several years to filter through systems)

      <title>Biological sex is relevant</title>
      <description>NHS staff told to apologise for using ‘wrong’ pronouns

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/27/nhs-staff-ordered-apologise-using-wrong-pronouns/

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust issued an 18-page diversity and inclusion policy forcing medics to accept patients’ personal pronouns.

Should not confront patients using single-sex facilities regardless of their appearance.

The trust’s trans policy, which came into effect in February last year according to the Daily Mail, said staff must say sorry to patients if they made mistakes relating to a patient’s pronouns.

It also ordered them to make a “commitment to try harder” if they made mistakes about patients’ preferred pronouns.

Victoria Atkins, Health Secretary

“I am crystal clear: biological sex matters, and the language used by the NHS needs to recognise the different biological needs of men and women,” 

“Illnesses and conditions that we know impact men and women differently should be communicated in a clear and accurate way.

“NHS staff must be allowed to get on with the job of caring for patients, not tiptoeing around trans guidance.
“the Government’s proposed update to the NHS constitution makes clear what patients can expect from NHS services in meeting their needs, including the biological needs of the sexes.”

Miriam Cates, MP and women’s rights campaigner

“Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust seems to have gone through the looking glass into a world where biological sex doesn’t exist,

and where the safety and dignity of vulnerable patients is ignored in the interests of being seen to adhere to a ridiculous ideology.

“It is shocking that an organisation dedicated to evidence-based practice can be so blind to the reality of the differences between men and women.”

Baroness Nicholson

“This NHS trust seems to be deliberately ignoring the Health Secretary whose guidance declares that sex overrules gender in all medical matters,”

“The NHS seems determined to follow its own unscientifically proven agenda; does this trust not recognise that male and female health profoundly differs? 

And that calling a man ‘her’ may so easily result in a nurse handing out the wrong medicines for the patient’s condition?”

Cancer incidence for common cancers

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, accounting for 3 in 20 (15%) of all cases in females and males combined

The next most common cancers in UK people are prostate (14%), 

lung (13%), 

bowel (11%)

Though there are more than 200 types of cancer, just these four types - breast, prostate, lung and bowel – 

together account for more than half (53%) of all new cases in the UK

The two most common cancer types occur mainly or exclusively in only one sex.

Breast

https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/breast-cancer/about

Breast cancer is more common in women than men. 

Around 55,500 women and around 370 men are diagnosed in the UK each year. 

1 in 7 women in the UK develop breast cancer during their lifetime. It is more common in older women. 

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. 

Around 55,900 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK. 

That is more than 150 people a day. 

15 out of 100 (15%) newly diagnosed cancers in the UK are breast cancer.
Prostate

The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system.

You need a prostate gland to get prostate cancer.

https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/prostate-cancer/about

Around 52,300 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK each year. 

In men, it is the most common cancer in the UK.

Ovarian

There are 2 ovaries, one on each side of the body. 

The ovaries produce an egg each month in women of childbearing age.

Around 7,500 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK each year.

Higher hospital admissions among children during a fourth wave

Driven by the Omicron variant

Should prompt vigilance but not panic,

as infections have been mild

Ntsakisi Maluleke, public health specialist, Gauteng province

1,511 COVID-positive patients in hospitals

113 were under 9 years old, 

a greater proportion than during previous waves

We are comforted by clinicians' reports that the children have mild disease

Health officials and scientists were investigating what was driving the increased admissions in younger ages

No paediatrics phylogenetic epidemiology yet

They would rather have a child under care for a day or two than having a child at home and complicating, ... but we really need to wait for the evidence

She said many COVID-19 patients in Gauteng reporting non-specific flu-like symptoms,

like a scratchy throat, 

as opposed to more easily identifiable markers like a loss of taste or smell

Parents and pregnant women, more hospital admissions recently,

to get tested in case intervention is needed further down the line.

Delta driving the state’s uptick in hospitalizations

I encourage everyone not to be hysterical about what we don’t know about omicron,

but to be really proactive in controlling what we do know, 

which is the delta variant is here,

Higher hospital admissions among children during a fourth wave

Driven by the Omicron variant

Should prompt vigilance but not panic,

as infections have been mild

Ntsakisi Maluleke, public health specialist, Gauteng province

1,511 COVID-positive patients in hospitals

113 were under 9 years old, 

a greater proportion than during previous waves

We are comforted by clinicians' reports that the children have mild disease

Health officials and scientists were investigating what was driving the increased admissions in younger ages

No paediatrics phylogenetic epidemiology yet

They would rather have a child under care for a day or two than having a child at home and complicating, ... but we really need to wait for the evidence

She said many COVID-19 patients in Gauteng reporting non-specific flu-like symptoms,

like a scratchy throat, 

as opposed to more easily identifiable markers like a loss of taste or smell

Parents and pregnant women, more hospital admissions recently,

to get tested in case intervention is needed further down the line.

Gauteng's dedicated COVID-19 bed occupancy, 13%

US current surge is delta

Correction, the probability of at least four deaths is approximately one in seventy eight thousand, (78,740) not 1 in 78

No evidence of foul play

Police and authorities have explicitly ruled out suspicious circumstances in all six cases

The extreme improbability 

Factors:

Tight time frame of the two waves

Restricted pool of all candidates

Age-specific probability of death
Above-average health of political candidates.

Tight geographical cluster

German economist, Stefan Homburg

“statistically virtually impossible”

https://x.com/i/grok/share/xfRCpWaGBsPa1W8R9vs81KRV2?utm_source=chatgpt.com

AfD deputy leader (MP)

Stephan Brandner “statistically striking and difficult to explain at the moment”.

“I’ve never heard of politicians from a party dying in such a short period of time before an election,” 

Statistical anomaly noted

The cluster of six deaths within a short period, 

concentrated on one party,

The probability of at least four deaths is approximately 0,0000127 or 0,00127% (1 in 78.740) 

https://lab-news.de/en/haeufung-von-afd-todesfaellen-statistisch-extrem-unwahrscheinlich/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Wave 1 (July / early August)

Opposition candidates

FDP, UWG, Party for Animal Protection, Free Voters, Voter Group SG Zukunft.

Observation: 5 deaths in approx. 3 weeks.

Wave 2 (mid/late August to 1 September)

Almost exclusively AfD – Seitz, Klinger, Berendes, Lange, Herford, Tietze 

(plus Uwe Philippsen / list “Volksabstimmung”).

Observation: 7 deaths in approx. 3 weeks.

G Frei News analysis

https://gfrei.news/author/gfrei123/

Final result after the healthy-candidate effect

Wave 1 (opposition, ≥ 5): 
1 : 5,809

Wave 2 (AfD, ≥ 6): 
1 : 247,351

Two waves in sequence: 

1 : 1,437,176,086

Short form: ≈ 1 : 1.44 billion

This means the double cluster clearly lies in the billion range of improbability. That precisely explains why comparable cases (e.g., “four deaths before an election”) are virtually never documented historically.

These deaths have disrupted the electoral process, invalidating ballots in affected districts and requiring reprints and new nominations.
The 2024 United Kingdom general election, Thursday, 4 July 2024

Tommy Cawkwell, an RNLI volunteer, Reform UK died after being selected candidate for York Central

“I’ve never heard of politicians from a party dying in such a short period of time before an election,” 

Statistical anomaly noted

The cluster of six deaths within a short period, 

concentrated on one party,

The probability of at least four deaths is approximately 0,0000127 or 0,00127% (1 in 78.740)

Wave 1 (July / early August)

Opposition candidates

FDP, UWG, Party for Animal Protection, Free Voters, Voter Group SG Zukunft.

Observation: 5 deaths in approx. 3 weeks.

Wave 2 (mid/late August to 1 September)

Almost exclusively AfD – Seitz, Klinger, Berendes, Lange, Herford, Tietze 

(plus Uwe Philippsen / list “Volksabstimmung”).

Observation: 7 deaths in approx. 3 weeks.

G Frei News analysis

https://gfrei.news/author/gfrei123/

Final result after the healthy-candidate effect

Wave 1 (opposition, ≥ 5): 
1 : 5,809

Wave 2 (AfD, ≥ 6): 
1 : 247,351

Two waves in sequence: 

1 : 1,437,176,086

Short form: ≈ 1 : 1.44 billion

This means the double cluster clearly lies in the billion range of improbability. That precisely explains why comparable cases (e.g., “four deaths before an election”) are virtually never documented historically.

These deaths have disrupted the electoral process, invalidating ballots in affected districts and requiring reprints and new nominations.

Factors:

Tight time frame of the two waves

Restricted pool of all candidates

Age-specific probability of death
Above-average health of political candidates.

Tight geographical cluster

6.5 million deaths, 16% in the US

Researchers, more than 200,000 studies

Four times the number on influenza in the 100 years

Where did the virus come from, and why has it been so successful?

Vincent Munster, virus ecology, Rocky Mountain Laboratories, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

We’ve now identified 20 or 30 of these viruses that all look very similar, but they are not the same. What is the true hideout place of the progenitor of SARS-CoV-2

Escape from a lab

Virus evolved in nature and was being studied

Virus was created in the lab by researchers

How does it mutates so rapidly?

(proofreading systems)

Immune compromised people

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.02.22.481551v1.full

Virus found in 29 other animals so far

Mink, hamsters, mice, white-tailed deer, cats, dogs, ferrets, lions, tigers, snow leopards, otters, non-human primates, hyenas, hippopotamuses, and manatees.
mule deer, a black-tailed marmoset, a giant anteater

Massively variable clinical picture?

Why are older people effected more and children and the young protected?

Why is it better to be 1 than 50?

1918 flu pandemic

Highest mortality rates, children 5 and under, adults 20 to 40, 65 and older

1957 flu pandemic, Increases in the mortality rate relative to baseline

The virus is becoming more infectious but less dangerous for the majority of people

But we’ve no guarantee that the virus wouldn’t develop additional mutations that would eventually make it more virulent in the future

Amitava Banerjee, clinical data science, consultant cardiologist, Institute of Health Informatics, University College London

We should never ever have had a pandemic preparedness team that did not consider the indirect and long-term effects. 

We focussed on the direct effects of excess deaths from covid,

but from the beginning it’s likely the indirect effects will lead to more deaths, 

and more morbidity and more economic impacts than Covid deaths itself

What I see is still a focus on the direct effects of Covid

Nobody who is in charge of the NHS, or any of the new health secretaries, are making any noises about it

We should never ever have had a pandemic preparedness team that did not consider the indirect and long-term effects. 

We focussed on the direct effects of excess deaths from covid,

but from the beginning it’s likely the indirect effects will lead to more deaths, 

and more morbidity and more economic impacts than Covid deaths itself

What I see is still a focus on the direct effects of Covid

Nobody who is in charge of the NHS, or any of the new health secretaries, are making any noises about it

      <description>Breaking Research Decodes the Mystery of “The Rubbery White Clots”

https://nzdsos.com/2026/02/04/breaking-research-decodes-the-mystery-of-the-rubbery-white-clots/

First time, comprehensively characterised the anomalous intravascular casts (AICs),

commonly reported by embalmers worldwide as strange, rubbery white clots.

Research, significantly funded by New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science (NZDSOS),

provides definitive analysis that these structures are a previously unrecognised and abnormal form of intravascular clotting.

Since 2021, global reports,

from embalmers and some clinicians have described the retrieval of long, elastic, white fibrous structures from blood vessels, 

distinct from ordinary post-mortem clots.

New three-part study,

using international labs on three continents,

describes their structure, elemental composition and protein makeup.

Concluding they represent a novel and persistent pathological entity


Key Findings of the Trilogy:


Paper 1: Morphology &amp; Histology

https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202601.1846

Established that AICs are not ordinary clots. 

They are elastic, 

lumen-conforming, 

branched structures that form under active blood flow
(shown by partial “Lines of Zahn”),

yet are strikingly devoid of intact red blood cells and platelets. 

Their rubber-like consistency and cohesive strength are incompatible with known pre- and post-mortem changes.

Lines of Zahn
characteristic of thrombus formed at the site of rapid arterial blood flow, 

with laminations produced by successive deposition of platelets and fibrin (pale layers),

alternating with red blood cells (dark layers).


Paper 2: Elemental Analysis

https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202601.2149

Revealed the clots have a bizarre chemical fingerprint. 

They are depleted in sulphur (a key marker of protein) and enriched in phosphorus, 

a composition impossible for a normal, protein-dominant fibrin clot. 

This indicates a hybrid organic-inorganic matrix, not a simple blood clot.

Paper 3: Proteomic Analysis

https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202601.2319

Solved the protein puzzle. 

While the clots do contain fibrinogen, 

the building block of normal clots, 

the fibrin chains are in a very abnormal ratio (~1:7:3 for α:β:γ chains vs. the normal 1:1:1). 

Critically, they are almost completely lacking in plasminogen (the enzyme required to break down clots), 
explaining their stubborn persistence. 

The protein profile also shows signs of inflammatory and immune system involvement as well as red cell destruction.

Senior Researcher Dr Bruce Rapley

“This is not just a big blood clot. This is a fundamentally different architecture. 

The profound deficiency in plasminogen is like building a structure impervious to future demolition – it’s designed to persist. 

The elemental data confirms it’s not just protein; it’s a hybrid material our bodies are forced to make but not equipped to clear.”

This holds a significant health implication. The researchers note that the formation of such persistent, obstructing material in blood vessels, particularly if in the microvasculature, will lead to chronic oxygen lack, organ damage, pain, exhaustion, and cascades of inflammatory pathology.

The study concludes that AICs anomalous intravascular casts, “provide a mechanistically coherent explanation for persistent vascular obstruction,

impaired tissue perfusion,

inflammation, and a broad spectrum of acute and chronic organ dysfunction.”

A Call for Urgent Investigation:

The paper highlights the covid injections as a crucial research direction: 

“If spike protein were demonstrated to provoke anomalous intravascular casts, 

this would raise serious implications not only for covid pathophysiology but also for genetic platforms that induce sustained host manufacture of spike protein,

March 2020 Paramedic stress

Robert Pollock

Toe tagging letter. Discussions around age group, 70+ initially, discussion of over 50s

Tough times ahead, would be supported

Implementation unclear, but caused stress and pressures

Clinical Adviser Paramedic, worked as a frontline paramedic during the pandemic.

Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)

26. There was reporting in the media of the "toe tagging" of patients by age group which is wording for "do not try too hard to resuscitate them" over a certain age. 

Scottish Ambulance Service employees received a letter by email on Thursday 26 March 2020 from the Health and Care Professions Council which stipulated to every registrant that they realised there would
be difficult decisions to be made by healthcare professionals, but they would be given full support to make decisions out with normal protocols.

27. … ordinarily, efforts were made to try and resuscitate every single person that has a feasible chance of success. 

However, the Health and Care Professional Council basically indicated that if employees did not do that on these occasions to coincide with the government statement, then they would fully support employees for any challenges employees may face as healthcare
professionals.

28. This was very frightening for workers who have family members in that age group and it caused a lot of concern and anxiety for people who were used
to doing their best to preserve life. The process of resuscitation has evolved, and we have a high success rate. 
This did not go down well with members. 

In addition, there were discussions about rumours within meetings with the Scottish Ambulance Service that the government had a plan to reduce the age group to those over 50s if Covid levels reached their
expected peak and the plan for over 70s did not result in a significant enough drop in medical demand, with ages dropping depending on numbers coming through hospital. 

29. Staff morale was severely affected, as they were trained to preserve life, they were paid lifesavers but at the time, they were told to do the complete opposite. 

This terrified staff that they might have to do this against their normal training and their normal desire to help. This was not a process that anyone welcomed.

In addition, there were discussions about rumours within meetings with the Scottish Ambulance Service that the government had a plan to reduce the age group to those over 50s if Covid levels reached their
expected peak and the plan for over 70s did not result in a significant enough drop in medical demand, with ages dropping depending on numbers coming through hospital. 

29. Staff morale was severely affected, as they were trained to preserve life, they were paid lifesavers but at the time, they were told to do the complete opposite.

Adults: Dosing Regimens

The dose most commonly used in clinical trials is IVM 0.2–0.6 mg/kg PO given as a single dose or as a once-daily dose for up to 5 days.

Adverse events

Generally well tolerated

Dizziness

Pruritis

GI effects (e.g., nausea, diarrhea)

Neurological AEs have been reported when IVM has been used to treat parasitic diseases, 

but it is not clear whether these AEs were caused by IVM or the underlying conditions.

Comments and links to clinical trials

Generally given on an empty stomach with water; however, administering IVM with food increases its bioavailability.

      <title>WHO: warning to world leaders </title>
      <description>James Roguski, TO ALL WORLD LEADERS:
There are many additional reasons for all 196 parties to the IHR to reject the 2024 IHR amendments: For complete details, visit:
https://RejectTheAmendments.com
https://substack.com/@jamesroguski

I strongly encourage you to formally exercise your authority under Article 61 of the International Health Regulations and IMMEDIATELY notify the World Health Organization that you have decided to REJECT the 2024 amendments to the International Health Regulations on behalf of the people of your nation.

July 19, 2025 is the deadline for heads of state of the 192 of the 196 nations that are parties to the International Health Regulation to reject the 2024 amendments. 

Because 4 nations (The Islamic Republic of Iran, Netherlands, New Zealand and Slovakia) rejected the 2022 amendments to the IHR (which shortened the time period to reject future amendments from 18 to 10 months), the deadline for these 4 nations to reject the 2024 amendments is March 19, 2026.

Amendments to the International Health Regulations

https://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA77/A77_ACONF14-en.pdf

Article 1

“pandemic emergency” means...

a public health emergency of international concern that is caused by a communicable disease and: 

(i) has, or is at high risk of having, wide geographical spread to and within multiple States; and

(ii) is exceeding, or is at high risk of exceeding, the capacity of health systems to respond in those States; and

(iii) is causing, or is at high risk of causing, substantial social and/or economic disruption, including disruption to international traffic and trade; and

(iv) requires rapid, equitable and enhanced coordinated international action, with whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches.

“relevant health products” means 

those health products needed to respond to public health emergencies of international concern, including pandemic emergencies, which may include:

    • medicines, 
    • vaccines, 
    • diagnostics, 
    • medical devices, 
    • vector control products, 
    • personal protective equipment, 
    • decontamination products, 
    • assistive products, 
    • antidotes, 
    • cell- and gene-based therapies, 
    • and other health technologies;

HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST? (Article 44) 

Dear President Trump,

On the very first day of your Presidency (January 20, 2025) you signed Executive Order 14155 which began the 1-year process of having the United States terminate its membership in the World Health Organization.

Sec. 4. Global System Negotiations. While withdrawal is in progress, the Secretary of State will cease negotiations on the WHO Pandemic Agreement and the amendments to the International Health Regulations, and actions taken to effectuate such agreement and amendments will have no binding force on the United States.

HOWEVER, YOU HAVE NOT YET OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION THAT YOU WISH TO REJECT THE 2024 AMENDMENTS TO THE INTERNATIONAL HEALTH REGULATIONS.
PLEASE TAKE OFFICIAL ACTION TO FORMALLY AND PUBLICLY REJECT THE 2024 AMENDMENTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE JULY 19, 2025 DEADLINE AND ENCOURAGE OUR ALLIES TO JOIN YOU IN THIS ACTION.
Also, on February 4, 2025 you signed Executive Order #14199 which directed the State Department to conduct a review of “all conventions and treaties to which the United States is a party.”

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/withdrawing-the-united-states-from-and-ending-funding-to-certain-united-nations-organizations-and-reviewing-united-states-support-to-all-international-organizations/

The deadline for the above review is August 3, 2025 (180 days after February 4, 2025). Unfortunately the deadline to reject the 2024 amendments to the IHR (July 19, 2025) will pass before the State Department is obligated to deliver their report to you.
I humbly request that you di

I strongly encourage you to formally exercise your authority under Article 61 of the International Health Regulations and IMMEDIATELY notify the World Health Organization that you have decided to REJECT the 2024 amendments to the International Health Regulations on behalf of the people of your nation.

July 19, 2025 is the deadline for heads of state of the 192 of the 196 nations that are parties to the International Health Regulation to reject the 2024 amendments. 

Because 4 nations (The Islamic Republic of Iran, Netherlands, New Zealand and Slovakia) rejected the 2022 amendments to the IHR (which shortened the time period to reject future amendments from 18 to 10 months), the deadline for these 4 nations to reject the 2024 amendments is March 19, 2026.

Amendments to the International Health Regulations

https://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA77/A77_ACONF14-en.pdf

Article 1

“pandemic emergency” means...

a public health emergency of international concern that is caused by a communicable disease and: 

(i) has, or is at high risk of having, wide geographical spread to and within multiple States; and

(ii) is exceeding, or is at high risk of exceeding, the capacity of health systems to respond in those States; and

(iii) is causing, or is at high risk of causing, substantial social and/or economic disruption, including disruption to international traffic and trade; and

(iv) requires rapid, equitable and enhanced coordinated international action, with whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches.

“relevant health products” means 

those health products needed to respond to public health emergencies of international concern, including pandemic emergencies, which may include:

    • medicines, 
    • vaccines, 
    • diagnostics, 
    • medical devices, 
    • vector control products, 
    • personal protective equipment, 
    • decontamination products, 
    • assistive products, 
    • antidotes, 
    • cell- and gene-based therapies, 
    • and other health technologies;

Dear President Trump,

On the very first day of your Presidency (January 20, 2025) you signed Executive Order 14155 which began the 1-year process of having the United States terminate its membership in the World Health Organization.

Sec. 4. Global System Negotiations. While withdrawal is in progress, the Secretary of State will cease negotiations on the WHO Pandemic Agreement and the amendments to the International Health Regulations, and actions taken to effectuate such agreement and amendments will have no binding force on the United States.

HOWEVER, YOU HAVE NOT YET OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION THAT YOU WISH TO REJECT THE 2024 AMENDMENTS TO THE INTERNATIONAL HEALTH REGULATIONS.
PLEASE TAKE OFFICIAL ACTION TO FORMALLY AND PUBLICLY REJECT THE 2024 AMENDMENTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE JULY 19, 2025 DEADLINE AND ENCOURAGE OUR ALLIES TO JOIN YOU IN THIS ACTION.
Also, on February 4, 2025 you signed Executive Order #14199 which directed the State Department to conduct a review of “all conventions and treaties to which the United States is a party.”

The deadline for the above review is August 3, 2025 (180 days after February 4, 2025). Unfortunately the deadline to reject the 2024 amendments to the IHR (July 19, 2025) will pass before the State Department is obligated to deliver their report to you.

      <description>Breaking Research Decodes the Mystery of “The Rubbery White Clots”

https://nzdsos.com/2026/02/04/breaking-research-decodes-the-mystery-of-the-rubbery-white-clots/

First time, comprehensively characterised the anomalous intravascular casts (AICs),

commonly reported by embalmers worldwide as strange, rubbery white clots.

Research, significantly funded by New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science (NZDSOS),

provides definitive analysis that these structures are a previously unrecognised and abnormal form of intravascular clotting.

Since 2021, global reports,

from embalmers and some clinicians have described the retrieval of long, elastic, white fibrous structures from blood vessels, 

distinct from ordinary post-mortem clots.

New three-part study,

using international labs on three continents,

describes their structure, elemental composition and protein makeup.

Concluding they represent a novel and persistent pathological entity


Key Findings of the Trilogy:


Paper 1: Morphology &amp; Histology

https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202601.1846

Established that AICs are not ordinary clots. 

They are elastic, 

lumen-conforming, 

branched structures that form under active blood flow
(shown by partial “Lines of Zahn”),

yet are strikingly devoid of intact red blood cells and platelets. 

Their rubber-like consistency and cohesive strength are incompatible with known pre- and post-mortem changes.

Lines of Zahn
characteristic of thrombus formed at the site of rapid arterial blood flow, 

with laminations produced by successive deposition of platelets and fibrin (pale layers),

alternating with red blood cells (dark layers).


Paper 2: Elemental Analysis

https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202601.2149

Revealed the clots have a bizarre chemical fingerprint. 

They are depleted in sulphur (a key marker of protein) and enriched in phosphorus, 

a composition impossible for a normal, protein-dominant fibrin clot. 

This indicates a hybrid organic-inorganic matrix, not a simple blood clot.

Paper 3: Proteomic Analysis

https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202601.2319

Solved the protein puzzle. 

While the clots do contain fibrinogen, 

the building block of normal clots, 

the fibrin chains are in a very abnormal ratio (~1:7:3 for α:β:γ chains vs. the normal 1:1:1). 

Critically, they are almost completely lacking in plasminogen (the enzyme required to break down clots), 
explaining their stubborn persistence. 

The protein profile also shows signs of inflammatory and immune system involvement as well as red cell destruction.

Senior Researcher Dr Bruce Rapley

“This is not just a big blood clot. This is a fundamentally different architecture. 

The profound deficiency in plasminogen is like building a structure impervious to future demolition – it’s designed to persist. 

The elemental data confirms it’s not just protein; it’s a hybrid material our bodies are forced to make but not equipped to clear.”

This holds a significant health implication. The researchers note that the formation of such persistent, obstructing material in blood vessels, particularly if in the microvasculature, will lead to chronic oxygen lack, organ damage, pain, exhaustion, and cascades of inflammatory pathology.

The study concludes that AICs anomalous intravascular casts, “provide a mechanistically coherent explanation for persistent vascular obstruction,

impaired tissue perfusion,

inflammation, and a broad spectrum of acute and chronic organ dysfunction.”

A Call for Urgent Investigation:

The paper highlights the covid injections as a crucial research direction: 

“If spike protein were demonstrated to provoke anomalous intravascular casts, 

this would raise serious implications not only for covid pathophysiology but also for genetic platforms that induce sustained host manufacture of spike protein,

      <title>Abortion law updates to term</title>
      <description>Late fetal development in the third trimester (weeks 28–40) is mainly about rapid growth, organ maturation, and preparation for life outside the womb.

The brain undergoes rapid growth in size and complexity

Development of gyri and sulci (folds) increases surface area

Improved neural connections 

Sleep–wake cycles become more regular

Eyes open and close; can respond to light

Hearing is well developed → responds to sounds and voices

Increased coordinated movements:

Kicking, stretching, grasping

Pain perception

Utilization of analgesia and anesthesia during fetal surgery began in the early 1980s,

US anesthesiology and fetal therapy consensus statement in 2021 recommends administration of fetal anesthesia in all invasive maternal-fetal procedures. 

Lungs mature significantly

Increased production of surfactant (reduces alveolar collapse)

By ~34–36 weeks, lungs are usually capable of supporting breathing

Practice breathing movements occur (though no air is inhaled)

Heart is fully formed and functioning

Circulation is adapted to fetal life (e.g., ductus arteriosus still open)

Prepares for transition at birth when fetal shunts close

Rapid weight gain (most of it occurs now)

Fat deposition under the skin:

Helps with temperature regulation after birth

Skin becomes:

Less wrinkled

More opaque

Lanugo (fine hair) begins to disappear
Skin and Coverings

Nails grow to fingertips

Hair on the scalp becomes thicker

Swallowing amniotic fluid regularly

Meconium (first stool) accumulates in intestines

Liver stores glycogen for energy after birth

Transfer of maternal antibodies (IgG) increases:

Provides passive immunity after birth

Fetus often settles into a head-down (cephalic) position near term

Size by Term (around 40 weeks)

Weight: ~3–4 kg

Length: ~48–52 cm

Current UK law

Continuation of the 24-week time limit and the 10-week limit on telemedicine, 

agreed by Parliament in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic

New law

Remove the threat of police investigation, arrest, or prison for women ending their own pregnancy

New law applies regardless of gestational age

MPs back decriminalisation of abortion

A vote in Parliament on 17 June (2025) saw lawmakers endorse the NC One (New Clause one) amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill, 

which could see an end to the threat of criminal investigation and prosecution of women who choose to terminate their pregnancy.

MPs vote 379 to 137 in favour of the amendment

BMA medical ethics committee deputy chair

‘The passing of this amendment is a significant and long overdue step towards reforming antiquated abortion law in England and Wales….

‘Beyond this bill we will continue to push for wider reform of abortion law – including campaigning for the removal of criminal sanctions for medical professionals involved in abortions as part of their clinical practice….

(Regardless of gestational age)?

BMA welcomes move it describes as ‘long overdue’ while maintaining issue is a healthcare matter (England Wales)
   
A vote in Parliament on 17 June (2025) saw lawmakers endorse the NC One (New Clause one) amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill, 

which could see an end to the threat of criminal investigation and prosecution of women who choose to terminate their pregnancy.

MPs vote 379 to 137 in favour of the amendment

BMA medical ethics committee deputy chair

‘The passing of this amendment is a significant and long overdue step towards reforming antiquated abortion law in England and Wales….

‘Beyond this bill we will continue to push for wider reform of abortion law – including campaigning for the removal of criminal sanctions for medical professionals involved in abortions as part of their clinical practice….

The UK-wide decriminalisation of abortion has been BMA policy since 2017.

As an example, somebody got in touch with us later on in 2020 who was concerned about their grandfather who is a veteran. 

We understand from this exchange that
paramedics arrived at his door one day and they handed him a bit of paper and said, "you need to keep this by your bed". 

It was a DNACPR decision document or slip. 

The slip was signed by a clinician that said discussion had been had with patient and reason was just two words "communication difficulties".

(Presumably, linked to his hearing loss).

In this instance the DNACPR was not about them having any condition that would mean there is substantial or significant underlying health
condition, which would be challenging if they contracted COVID; 

they were being written off because it was hard to communicate with them.

Even if it was the case that someone might face difficulties if they contracted COVID-19, why on earth is there a pre-emptive DNACPR? 

And particularly so with no discussion or any form of dignified process for the
recipient.

…. we had a sense that this was also be happening in care homes, where all residents were having DNACPR decisions issued in a blanket manner, 

not on an individual basis.

I heard of examples where there were cases of COVID in care homes, a medical response was not forthcoming. 

COVID was simply going to go through the care home and there was not the resources to help everyone. 

And it would be said that "we're not transferring you to hospital because you're in a sort of a safe
place. 

We'll try and manage your condition as best we can in the care home environment".

We also found examples of people who upon leaving hospital found DNACPR decisions in their discharge papers without any discussion having
been had with them. 

The box was ticked which said they had had a
discussion, where in fact none was.

It was the end of May 2020, I think, when it was becoming apparent that there were so many of these instances.

Press conference after Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla refused to answer in front of European Parliament

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jTgDj7uiX8

Six members of the European Parliament held a press conference on October 11, 2022, one day after Albert Bourla, Pfizer CEO, refused to participate in the Covid committee and answer questions.

COVID-19 medical misinformation policy

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9891785

Prevention misinformation: 

Content that promotes prevention methods that contradict local health authorities or WHO.

Claims that there is a guaranteed prevention method for COVID-19

Claims that any medication or vaccination is a guaranteed prevention method for COVID-19

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/11161123

Vaccine safety: content alleging that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities

Efficacy of vaccines: content claiming that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease 

Ingredients in vaccines: content misrepresenting the substances contained in vaccines

MEP Virginie Jeron (France)

My colleagues have perfectly summarised the masquerade (farce) of yesterdays meeting

None of the questions we asked, which were very clear;

Contracts, prices, xxxxxx, were not answered.

Pfizer should be required to give evidence under oath

Because this is an official hearing.

This was the biggest contract ever awarded by the European Commission, E 36 billion 

European court paper, 35 pages of questions, criticisms, demands, lack of transparency – none answered

Suspicions of passive corruption, to be put into action 

I have contacted a legal firm in France

Summary, they came, they did not answer anything, and they are still selling us their products.

SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus GX_P2V,

can cause 100% mortality in human ACE2-transgenic mice, 

potentially attributable to late-stage brain infection. 

Paper Authors

Beijing Advanced Innovation Center

Beijing University of Chemical Technology,

The Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.

Medical School, Nanjing University, China

(including a doctor trained by the Chinese military, Yigang Tong)

Purpose of study

Assessed virus pathogenicity 

Risk

100% IFR underscores a spillover risk of GX_P2V into humans,

and provides a unique model for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses.

Details
GX_P2V isolate was actually a cell culture-adapted mutant

In this study, we cloned this mutant

This is not a wild type virus

It is possible that GX_P2V C7 has undergone a virulence-enhancing mutation.

GX_P2V is capable of rapid mutation rates.

High viral loads detected in both lung and brain tissues. 

Surprisingly, all the mice that were infected with the live virus succumbed to the infection within 7-8 days post-inoculation,

Resulted in 100% mortality in the hACE2 mice. 

Clinical features

Weight loss, Piloerection, hunched posture, sluggish movements, and their eyes turned white.

Significant amounts of viral RNA in the brain, lung, turbinate, eye, trachea, reducing with time

Infection did not lead to significant inflammatory reactions or cytokine storm

Brain with high viral counts increasing during infection

ACE2 receptors are found in the human brain

Brainstem (especially areas regulating breathing and cardiovascular control)

Hypothalamus

Substantia nigra

Cortex (low levels)

Endothelial cells lining cerebral blood vessels

Some neurons and glial cells

The choroid plexus

Justin Kinney, associate professor, Simons Center for Quantitative Biology, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, U.S.

“I am especially concerned that the paper does not say what biosafety level the work was performed at. 

Coronavirus research in China is often done at a biosafety level (BSL-2) that is inadequate for working with potential pandemic pathogens that might be transmitted by air.

“Indeed, coronavirus research done at BSL-2 may have caused the COVID-19 pandemic. 

And by showing that the coronavirus has a surprisingly high pathogenicity, the work underscores the need for extreme caution when working with novel coronaviruses.”

Justin Goodman, senior vice president of the White Coat Waste Project, a U.S. nonprofit

China-based scientists have been conducting “dangerous and deadly tests on mice.”

      <description>Direct link to parliament TV, https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/5e1f14d2-72b3-488f-a53c-fc94fee92dac

I will be brief, because it is clear that there is far more demand to speak in the debate than there is time. That shows that we absolutely need a longer debate; we need a debate on the Floor of the House, because it is not just Members present who want to speak, and members of the public have shown enormous interest.
I will not go over the excellent points that have been made and the data that has been shared. We know we have a problem in this country with excess deaths, particularly among younger people and particularly from cardiovascular disease. That, in itself, is a huge challenge. We need medical experts and statisticians to address those issues—I am not qualified to do so.
What I will say is this: lockdown changed everything. Our response to covid changed everything. Just as we look back on different periods of history—before the war; before the industrial revolution—I believe we will look back at before and after lockdown. Lockdown has changed our economy and how we relate to each other. It has changed our health and our understanding of children’s development.
The conditions under which those decisions were made—decisions that were overwhelmingly wrong, in my opinion, although I do not blame any individuals, given the pressure they were under—have not changed. The conditions under which we suspended the precautionary principle, ignored the fact that interventions may cause harm, suspended the importance of children’s education, suspended the safeguarding of children, suspended the need for medical trials and suspended all sorts of safeguards that have stood society in good stead for a long time have not changed.
The conditions in Government, the media and wider society under which those decisions were made have not changed because, unfortunately, we have not yet got to the heart of the matter. Why did that pressure come from the media? Why did we have to follow what other countries were doing? Why were we obsessed with particular points of data, such as deaths from covid, rather than considering the wider impact on society?
My concern about the covid inquiry is that it is asking all the wrong questions. It is concerned with who swore at whom on WhatsApp, and not the wider conditions under which decisions were made. When, several Education Secretaries ago, the former, former, former Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend the Member for South Staffordshire (Sir Gavin Williamson), stood up in the House of Commons and said that he would close schools, I remember, as a mother, shouting at the television, “Don’t do it! Don’t do it!”. I could see the impact it would have—not just on my own children, but across all the wider components of society. Society is like a big machine; we cannot just take out one part and assume that the rest will continue to operate. We have seen that clearly over the past three years.
We must address the reasons why these decisions were made. We cannot do that in three minutes each—we must have a longer debate.

Don’t do it!”. I could see the impact it would have—not just on my own children, but across all the wider components of society. Society is like a big machine; we cannot just take out one part and assume that the rest will continue to operate. We have seen that clearly over the past three years.
We must address the reasons why these decisions were made. We cannot do that in three minutes each—we must have a longer debate.

        <![CDATA[Direct link to parliament TV, https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/5e1f14d2-72b3-488f-a53c-fc94fee92dac 

Link to Hansard full transcript, https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2024-01-16/debates/152B485D-812D-43CC-9D25-C2B651564810/ExcessDeathTrends?highlight=westminster%20hall#contribution-46059AFE-9A03-472B-9364-0BF972E2E7D8

Miriam Cates 
(Penistone and Stocksbridge) (Con) 
I will be brief, because it is clear that there is far more demand to speak in the debate than there is time. That shows that we absolutely need a longer debate; we need a debate on the Floor of the House, because it is not just Members present who want to speak, and members of the public have shown enormous interest.
I will not go over the excellent points that have been made and the data that has been shared. We know we have a problem in this country with excess deaths, particularly among younger people and particularly from cardiovascular disease. That, in itself, is a huge challenge. We need medical experts and statisticians to address those issues—I am not qualified to do so.
What I will say is this: lockdown changed everything. Our response to covid changed everything. Just as we look back on different periods of history—before the war; before the industrial revolution—I believe we will look back at before and after lockdown. Lockdown has changed our economy and how we relate to each other. It has changed our health and our understanding of children’s development.
The conditions under which those decisions were made—decisions that were overwhelmingly wrong, in my opinion, although I do not blame any individuals, given the pressure they were under—have not changed. The conditions under which we suspended the precautionary principle, ignored the fact that interventions may cause harm, suspended the importance of children’s education, suspended the safeguarding of children, suspended the need for medical trials and suspended all sorts of safeguards that have stood society in good stead for a long time have not changed.
The conditions in Government, the media and wider society under which those decisions were made have not changed because, unfortunately, we have not yet got to the heart of the matter. Why did that pressure come from the media? Why did we have to follow what other countries were doing? Why were we obsessed with particular points of data, such as deaths from covid, rather than considering the wider impact on society?
My concern about the covid inquiry is that it is asking all the wrong questions. It is concerned with who swore at whom on WhatsApp, and not the wider conditions under which decisions were made. When, several Education Secretaries ago, the former, former, former Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend the Member for South Staffordshire (Sir Gavin Williamson), stood up in the House of Commons and said that he would close schools, I remember, as a mother, shouting at the television, “Don’t do it! Don’t do it!”. I could see the impact it would have—not just on my own children, but across all the wider components of society. Society is like a big machine; we cannot just take out one part and assume that the rest will continue to operate. We have seen that clearly over the past three years.

      <description>Moderna Receives U.S. FDA Approval for RSV Vaccine mRESVIA(R)

https://news.modernatx.com/news/news-details/2024/Moderna-Receives-U.S.-FDA-Approval-for-RSV-Vaccine-mRESVIAR/default.aspx

May 31, 2024

Moderna, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved mRESVIA (mRNA-1345), 

an mRNA respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, 

to protect adults aged 60 years and older from lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV infection. 

The approval was granted under a breakthrough therapy designation and marks the second approved mRNA product from Moderna.

Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna.

The FDA approval of our second product, mRESVIA, builds on the strength and versatility of our mRNA platform

Moderna expects to have mRESVIA available for eligible populations in the U.S. by the 2024/2025 respiratory virus season.

Moderna has filed for mRNA-1345 approval with regulators in multiple markets around the world.

Moderna races ahead in flu and Covid-19 combo vaccine race with Phase III win

Moderna injection mRNA-1083

Comprises a seasonal influenza vaccine candidate, mRNA-1010, 

and a next-generation Covid-19 vaccine prospect called mRNA-1283.

Moderna announces positive data from a Phase III trial of its mRNA vaccine candidate.

Now, in a Phase III trial (NCT06097273) for mRNA-1083

Moderna

“statistically significantly higher immune responses” compared to existing vaccines on the market. 

The trial met its primary endpoints, Moderna said in a 10 June press release.  

Immune response was seen across three influenza virus strains (H1N1, H3N2, and B/Victoria) and against SARS-CoV-2.

Although Moderna has not published the full dataset from the Phase III trial, 

it plans to present the results in more detail at an upcoming medical conference, 

in addition to a submission for publication. 

The company said it “will engage with regulators on next steps”.

“statistically significantly higher immune responses” compared to existing vaccines on the market. 

The trial met its primary endpoints, Moderna said in a 10 June press release.  

Immune response was seen across three influenza virus strains (H1N1, H3N2, and B/Victoria) and against SARS-CoV-2.

Although Moderna has not published the full dataset from the Phase III trial, 

it plans to present the results in more detail at an upcoming medical conference, 

in addition to a submission for publication. 

The company said it “will engage with regulators on next steps”.
