This week’s instalment looks at two issues which have fed the fear narrative. Firstly the much vexed topic of asymptomatic spread. Secondly the question of effective treatments.
COVID-19
What has changed regarding asymptomatic spread?
In 2021, HART published a review of the evidence for asymptomatic transmission. The concept of asymptomatic transmission formed the foundation for the belief that lockdown was necessary and might work and for mask wearing and amplified the atmosphere of fear with the idea that anyone could be a threat.
Covid-19 : The Evidence Now PART 3
Last week we published Part 2 of our evidence updates, focusing on ethics, masks and elderly care. This week, we take another detailed look at the collateral damage caused by lockdowns and rather topically have reworked the piece on covid vaccines for children.
Covid-19 : The Evidence Now PART 2
Last week we published our first 3 evidence updates, focusing on aspects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself, its variants and natural immunity, with implications for border closures and futile attempts at achieving ‘zero covid’.
Terms of Reference for the Covid-19 Public Inquiry
The deadline to respond to the proposed terms of reference for the English Public Inquiry into covid ends on 7th April. There are number of major omissions from the current proposed terms of reference
Lest We Forget
Not being a daily publication, we did not have the ‘pleasure’ of writing on the two year anniversary of that now most inauspicious of dates, 23 March 2020. If only the Prime Minister had stood up that Monday evening, ripped up his pre-prepared speech and stood firm – what an alternative reality that might have been!
Breaking the Silence – Dr David Cartland
Doctor documents his observations from the covid era HART has previously referenced The Covid Physician, a blog from an anonymous GP on the Covid front line, and Dr Malcolm Kendrick, GP and author of books on topics such as cholesterol and the use of statins. For almost two years now, these doctors have provided harrowing commentary […]
Where has logic gone?
Amidst the continuing hysteria around covid, many people seem to have lost the ability to think rationally and logically and somewhere along the way they lost their humanity too.
Covid above all else
The Government’s enthusiasm for Plan B had been noted back in September, but the successful relaxation of restrictions in the summer had left it woefully short of triggers for its authoritarian tendencies.
The Six Miracles of Covid
There are three fundamental characteristics of the covid pandemic, which if they had panned out differently, could have caused very negative effects. There are reasons to be very grateful that things have turned out the way they have. Was it just luck? Were these covid miracles?
The HART Christmas Quiz
Here we are at the end of another year… what have we learned?
What are the symptoms of covid?
A diagnosis is a compilation of clinical symptoms and testing adds further information to help doctors decide on the likelihood of a particular diagnosis. Because a covid case has been defined not by symptoms but by a positive test result this logic has been reversed.

Only a fraction of the population are susceptible to each variant
The implication of this is that each variant will find the susceptible population and once those people have been found that variant will disappear.
Help or Harm?
‘Thought reform’ is a term that Lifton (1989) coined to describe Chinese indoctrination techniques that were used during the Communist takeover; it is a concept and a process which many cult researchers and survivors are familiar with.
FULL ARTICLE: Help or Harm?
Thought reform is a process that brings about the systematic alteration of a person’s mode of thinking, a process of individual political indoctrination. It has a psychological momentum of its own; once installed – as many researchers on the issue of cults have found – there is no further need of an indoctrinating guru, teacher or other authority figure, because the subjects who have been indoctrinated reflexively take on that role, policing their own and others’ adherence to the ideology
‘Long covid’ or ‘long lockdown’?
The concern is that the huge focus on covid-19 may mean symptoms due to other diseases or indeed due to loneliness and anxiety, are being wrong
Government review of care home winter plan based on terrible error or deliberate lie about successes last year
Government has published a winter plan for care homes with plans for interventions for this winter in care homes including ipads as a proposal to replace human contact. The entire document is based on the premise that interventions in winter prevented deaths in care homes based on claims made in a review of last year’s winter plan. No data supports this notion. The Government report is either based on a terrible error or a deliberate lie.
