The sceptical community – living up to its decentralised worldview – is not short of opinions and theories, robustly debated. These are too numerous to cover in detail in this short piece: it suffices to say that they cover a wide spectrum ranging from calamitous ineptitude (and innumeracy) of politicians and civil servants, deceitful and underhand sales…

An autopsy on covid deaths
Although covid undoubtedly killed people, looking at its fatality in retrospect, the claimed lethality does not always match what we now know about the virus. There are particular examples such as New York City and Lombardy where the alleged covid mortality figures are well in excess of what was seen elsewhere, and suggest other factors must have been at play. With that in mind it is worth re-examining the excess death waves to understand better what proportion was caused directly by covid and what could have been caused by the response to covid.
Problems with the ONS data?
After a seven month hiatus the ONS have finally released data on deaths by vaccination status but it is all very odd. Numerous analyses have been written on the findings as well as critiques of the quality of the data; this article will be an attempt to summarise them.
Neonatal death inquiry in Scotland gets underway
It was a huge concern to Public Health Scotland when in September 2021 neonatal deaths exceeded the warning range. A brief investigation confirmed these losses were not related to maternal Covid-19. But 6 months later, in March 2022 there was another surge.
Can the mortality anomalies in the ONS data be explained?
The new ONS data seems to have a bias such that deaths in the unvaccinated are more likely to be included in the ONS sample, whereas deaths in the vaccinated have the opposite bias and are more likely to be excluded from this dataset. Oddly, the bias is different for covid deaths.
The silencing of dissent
Since the advent of the covid era in early 2020, Western liberal democracies have witnessed a marked acceleration in the systematic deployment of methods of non-consensual persuasion aimed at ensuring that people act and speak in ways that correspond to the dominant state-determined narrative.
Three key findings from ONS analysis
There are significant problems with bias in the ONS dataset that are covered in two accompanying articles. However, even based on the ONS analysis there are three key points that strongly suggest that 2022 was a bad year for covid vaccines.
Inquiry into increased neonatal deaths in Scotland gets underway
An open letter to the Chair of the Scottish Neonatal Deaths Inquiry Group on the importance of looking at all possible causes
The role of the MHRA in regulating the advertising of medicines
The role of the MHRA in regulating the advertising of medicines – is the MHRA failing in yet another of its responsibilities?
How do doctors stand legally if a patient is vaccine injured?
An interesting correspondance with the Medical Defence Union To: The Medical Defence Union 24th August 2022 Dear MDU advisor, I and a large group of doctors have ongoing concerns about the risk:benefit balance of covid-19 vaccines particularly in children. We have been in correspondence for well over a year with the MHRA, the JCVI and the […]
Will the WHO regulation amendments do more harm than good?
HART was a co-signatory to an open letter to the UK House of Commons and House of Lords scrutiny committees regarding the impact of the proposed amendments to international health regulations. Dr David Bell, public health physician and senior scholar of the Brownstone Institute, has written a detailed synopsis of all the proposed changes – Amendments to WHO’s International Health Regulations: An Annotated Guide.
Logically Unsound
Astute readers will notice that these statements have either been completely vindicated or can be deemed to have been a prudent assessment of complex risk-reward profile of certain irreversible interventions. In summary, the UK Government used taxpayer money to pay a ‘threat interceptor’ to discredit HART’s correct statements and replace these with fictions of their own making.
What have viruses and vaccines got to do with the heart?
There are three types of heart disease that are relevant to covid virus and vaccines and what we know about them and how they relate to other virus infections is worth taking some time to understand. Those are inflammation (eg myocarditis) and ischaemic heart disease (where narrowing of the arteries leads to heart attacks): either of these conditions may result in cardiac arrest.
Fauci confesses that Covid vaccines could never have worked as claimed
Fauci made some bold claims about the Covid vaccines in order to justify such coercive policies, including that they would prevent infections and limit transmission of the virus to others. These claims were then picked up by political leaders worldwide and used to justify their own policies, even when – from early data – it became obvious that the vaccines did not prevent infections or reduce the viral load of those infected.
Did boosters save lives in Europe?
The top ten European countries in terms of the proportion of people booster doses given were compared to the bottom ten to see if there had been a benefit.
Round and round the logic merry-go-round we go
The BBC reporting on covid in Japan reads like a play in three Acts. First, the mystery of their pre-existing immunity. Second, an alledged bungling of vaccine rollout before reaching one of the higest rates in the world. Third, how “low immunity” has led to overwhelmed hospitals and one of the highest current covid mortality rates.
Singapore is a control group
The Singapore government released data on their excess deaths in 2021 which is a window into what has caused excess cardiovascular deaths. Singapore is interesting because covid deaths did not feature until September 2021. Prior to that date only 29 deaths had been attributed to covid.
