The Daily Sceptic have also published it, but we feel this of the utmost importance and needs to be given the attention it deserves. Authors: Dr Zenobia Storah, […]

We need to talk about behavioural science…
The Government’s use of behavioural-science – particularly ‘nudges’ that use fear inflation, shaming and peer pressure to increase people’s compliance with the state’s agenda – has evoked major concerns in relation to both the ethics and the collateral damage.

First tranche of missing vaccine deaths found

Are school premises suitable for vaccinations?

How to measure vaccine harms
Drug harm reporting systems, like the MHRA’s yellow card system, are designed to alert the regulator to a potential issue. They are not designed to measure the size of the problem. If an issue is highlighted then the regulator has a responsibility to carry out an audit and see whether the incidence of the condition of concern has been higher than historical levels in the population who were vaccinated.
