Covid-19 Response and Excess Deaths

On 18th April, Andrew Bridgen finally secured a full length debate on this vexed topic, the original text of which is available here. Full length in theory, but shortly before the debate was due to begin, the deputy Speaker told him he only had 15 minutes instead of the 30 minutes he had prepared.

Medical Ethics have gone AWOL…again!!

Regular HART readers may remember last summer, we highlighted problems with a trial of a new Moderna mRNA booster which was recruiting in the US and the UK including healthy children from 12 years upwards. A letter was sent by the Children’s Covid Vaccines Advisory Council, signed by 125 health professionals and academics, to the CEOs and Chairmen of the 35 UK centres involved, pointing out the emotionally charged recruitment leaflet, the lack of compliance with Helsinki Agreement, and even the offer of money to children on trial completion, in contravention of research governance guidance.

State of the Nation Pt II

HART’s ‘State of the Nation’ article, published 18 January 2024, was appreciated by some (“Excellent article from the HART team” said a reasonably well-known MP), but copped a bit of flak elsewhere.  Language matters, and we should perhaps hold up our collective hands regarding a couple of sections that contained woolly language not picked up during proof-reading… HART is an amateur organisation staffed by busy professionals, but that is no excuse, and we are not afraid of saying sorry.
