What an FOI revealed Dr Clare Craig The NHS has altered its online advice as to who must avoid folic acid right before it is mandated in our staple foods. Internal records show a warning to people on dialysis was cut because staff found it “confusing”. A warning that people with heart stents must avoid […]

The Forgotten Medicine for ‘Russian Influenza’
Today historians debate whether Russian influenza (1889-1891) was caused by influenza virus or coronavirus. That is the wrong question. The more important question is what contemporary observers were saying about the medicines.
What are the ‘nudge unit’ doing these days?
Do you ever wonder what the Behavioural Insight Team (aka, the ‘Nudge Unit’) are getting up to these days? Gary Sidley Do you ever wonder what the Behavioural Insight Team (aka, the ‘Nudge Unit’) are getting up to these days? Recently, I took a deep dive into their website to find out. Since its advent […]
Human to human hantavirus
The evidence does not match the alarm Dr Clare Craig When severe pneumonia aboard the MV Hondius was attributed to hantavirus this month, the reporting moved quickly from a handful of sick passengers to the claim that a rodent-borne virus had begun spreading efficiently from person to person. There were comparisons with the first weeks […]

Nocebo effects during the covid event:
What was the major cause of the harms reported during the covid event? Disparity of opinion persists about the relative contributions of various factors to the documented morbidity for the period 2020 to 2022. Proponents of the official government narrative continue to assert that a novel virus was predominantly responsible. Meanwhile, many critics of the ‘pandemic’ story highlight the pervasive consequences of the covid restrictions and responses (such as lockdowns, masks, vaccines, and business closures). Other commentators offer evidence of data manipulation and fabrication.
Yet there is another potential contender for chief culprit that is rarely considered: the nocebo effect…..
Ofcom’s plan to extend its censorship role
The most crucial element to any large scale propaganda campaign is to ensure that dissenting voices, claims, and arguments never reach the light of day. It is apparent from this 2025 document – published to coincide with what Ofcom describes as its ‘year of action’ – that our national broadcasting regulator is eager to perform this pivotal role of omnipotent censor, ensuring that we only ever hear one, government-curated, version of the truth.
Pandemic or Scamdemic?
Pandemic or Scamdemic? Was there ever a virus at all – wet meat market or lab-leaked or just mislabelled flu or none of the above? And does it matter if we are all agreed that it was the response that killed?
Book Review: Managing A Pandemic
HART’s book reviewer turns to black humour:
Derek calls Yin at the national broadcaster again.
“We need to stop people questioning our lockdown policy… we will run a story comparing [this] to the Black Death. And release a daily stats bulletin exaggerating the number of people it has killed, using the questionable assumption that all deaths where the deceased tested positive for the virus within the past 30 days were indisputably caused by the virus. That should frighten people into compliance”.
“I’m not sure that’s wholly objective”, ponders Derek. “But I like it”.

Let’s not forget the mass casualties of the covid RESPONSE – Part 2
Psychologist Dr Gary Sidley presents many personal testimonies to the negative consequences of extraordinary restrictions and practices during the covid event. Generalised descriptions often fail to impress upon the reader the extent of suffering and turmoil endured by the victims of these draconian interventions. Accounts from the Scottish Covid Inquiry (SCI) and other sources convey the depth of emotional impact of these impositions upon ordinary people.
One million chickens culled
One million chilckens culled at a family farm in Shrophire and England and Scotland now labelled as an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ). Is this the fearporn starting all over?
America’s Medical Monopoly: An Injection of Truth
The General Medical Council (GMC) is in overdrive, with medical professionals being erased from the register for ‘wrongspeak’. Yet this is not a new phenomenon. If we delve into the history of how our existing ‘medical monopoly’ was established, it is an all too familiar disturbing playbook of censorship, corruption and subversion of ethics that spans over 130 years in the making.
The Ickabog by JK Rowling: A Review
“What must happen for evil to get a grip on a person, or of a country, and what does it take to defeat it? Why do people choose to believe lies even on scant or non-existent evidence?” This was the foreward to JK Rowling’s account of life in the mythical country of Cornucopia. Our reviewer invites readers to think of any modern day parallels.
Were the unvaccinated treated (literally) differently from the vaccinated?
If the unvaccinated were treated differently from the vaccinated, yet another bias could creep into the outcomes.
Governments always know what’s best for us
” In every sphere of daily life, our thoughts and actions are being manipulated, often covertly, so as to align them with what the state’s technocrats have deemed to be in our best interests; openness and transparent attempts at persuasion are no longer deemed necessary.” Does this describe Britain today?
The Good Fight
A heart felt rallying cry to stop attributing blame and start focusing on how each of us can make a difference. We’re all different, but in essence, as long as we’re all fighting for humanity, then we’re all on the same side, we are all allies.
Mainstream media continues to act as the marketing arm of Big Pharma
This episode actually illustrates all that is wrong with our relationship with Big Pharma. The first thing that anyone who wants to critically analyse these statements should do is find the actual study paper itself. All that can be found is this brief paper, actually published in November last year.
Gender ideology: What’s happening in the rest of the UK?
Gender ideology has been topical in England in recent years, with significant happenings, such as The Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the Tavistock Clinic closing, the banning of puberty blockers being prescribed to children, and the release of the recent CASS report, which highlighted the lack of a clear evidence base for allowing children to change sex. In a further shift of policy, NHS England has rightly stated that biological sex is fact and should be respected in hospital settings.
