On 14th September BBC News reported London measles warning ‘Outbreak could hit tens of thousands’ Reading on, you discover this is based on our favourite dislocation from the real world: computer modelling.
Vaccine
The vaccine injured get their 20-minutes at the Hallett Inquiry
Last week, the Hallett Inquiry opened Module 4 on Vaccines and therapeutics. HART, UK Medical Freedom Alliance, Perseus and the Children’s Covid Vaccines Advisory Council had all separately applied for Core participant status and this had been rejected. However an undertaking has been given that the Inquiry’s legal team will contact these groups to ensure any questions and concerns will be raised.
Unjustified Unblinding
The failure of regulators to set baseline requirements for unblinding leaves a gaping hole in regulatory oversight, raising questions on the commitments to transparency, ethics, and scientific robustness in these and future trials.
Joint open letter to MPs who voted for vaccine mandates
HART have joined with The Thinking Coalition and UK Medical Freedom Alliance in a letter to all those MPs who voted for mandatory vaccination for Social Care Workers in summer of 2021. Much was written at the time of the huge ethical issues, quite apart from the likely loss of many skilled and dedicated staff. Labour voted against the government at the time, in response to calls from unions whose members were likely to be impacted.
New Zealand study wins the prize for bizarre conclusions
Last month HART editors wrote a slightly humorous article entitled How to get published in the Covid era – HART (hartgroup.org). Humorous, that is, if it wasn’t so serious.
Have we only seen the tip of the iceberg for mRNA vaccine harms?
To those of us well-versed in the biology and emerging safety data relating to the injections referred to as “covid vaccines”, what is playing out before us is like a slow-motion motorway pile-up: we can see it unfolding, causing immense harm, have no idea when it will stop, and feel powerless to do much about it.
Have vaccinations become mandatory?
In many countries vaccinations, whilst not strictly mandatory, have been required for attendance at public schools. Indeed in France for many years, keeping your child’s Carnet de Santé up-to-date (equivalent to the UK’s Red Book or child health record) was essential for claiming your state benefits.

Where is the logic or indeed the ethics of the autumn booster programme?
Through the Distorted Lens
Most people have difficulty understanding what different levels of risks mean to them and translating them into decisions they make in everyday life.
Corporate Research NHS-style
Digging into the trial centres and the sponsorship has highlighted the current state of medical research in the UK and the influence of the drug company sponsor. Several of the centres involved are commercial companies with clearly a need to undertake drug company sponsored research in order to make a profit for their organisation.
What really happened in the AZ trial?
Much attention has been given to the Pfizer/BioNtech trial because a Texan court ordered the release of the documents the FDA used as a basis for their approval. It is time to shed more light on the AZ trials.
Yet more fear mongering over covid in children
The usual covid high priests who have been wheeled out repeatedly in front of the television cameras to fear-monger about covid without any debate, are at it again. Several members of Independent SAGE and others have written a paper assessing the impact of covid on children over the course of the last three years. It is not the paper they wanted to write.
AstraZeneca children’s trial breaches Helsinki
As a retired paediatrician, I was shocked to see the Oxford Vaccine Group advertising on Twitter for children aged 6-17 to join the latest Sars-CoV-2 vaccine trial[1]. In the two days it has taken me coposing this letter, I now see from tonight’s BBC news that the trial has already begun.

NextCOVE
You may think that Covid-19 vaccines for healthy children have been withdrawn but don’t worry your child can get their next fix by enrolling in the NextCOVE trial, launched last month in Bradford, with several other centres across the UK due to start recruiting soon. The trial was announced by Yahoo ironically on the same day, 30th June, that all routine covid vaccines ended.
NextCOVE trial contravenes the Declaration of Helsinki
We wish to draw your attention to a Covid-19 vaccine trial in your hospital which has just started recruiting children aged 12-17 and which is in contravention of the Declaration of Helsinki[1] and other UK and international laws.
Vaccines galore
The picture above may shortly be out of date when the latest monoclonal antibody against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is added to the CDC list. The US approach stands in stark contrast to Europe’s.So another dilemma for parents of young children who have already laboured long and hard over whether to give their children a covid-19 vaccine – will their children need this latest new immunis
Did covid injections save lives?
The apparent advantage from covid injections is heavily dependent on a measure of deaths per case. Unfortunately, the way cases are measured this data has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Furthermore, there is no historic data on how data on cases changed over time for previous respiratory viruses.
