As the walls close in with more and more censorship in an increasingly Orwellian One Party online world, we thought it wise to diversify platforms. Analytics have shown us that HART is being completely choked on Twitter to the point of a Potteresque invisibility cloak. It therefore seems unwise to waste too much energy on dissemination using this platform. Like agreeing to a game of tennis blind folded with your hands tied behind your back, it could be deemed, a priori, pointless.

Should the UK sign up to the proposed WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty?
Late last year HART was invited to be a co-signatory on an open letter to the relevant parliamentary scrutiny committees on the much vexed question of increasing WHO powers. The proposals are via a combination of changes to international health regulations, which require only a 51% majority of member states, and a wholescale change to the Treaty, which would require a two thirds majority.
New JCVI advice for high risk 0-4s
HART published an open letter sent to the JCVI on 6th December, the date when the MHRA first gave a conditional marketing authorisation for 0-4s. As has been the norm, no reply was received. The concerns remain the same.
The Perseus Report – A critique of the MHRA launched
Wednesday 19th April saw the launch of a detailed report into the failings of the medical regulator. The multi-disciplinary team of authors of the report, The Perseus Group, remain mostly anonymous, but both Nick Hunt, a retired civil servant who worked in weapons safety regulation and Hedley Rees who had a career in pharmaceutical manufacturing have both been interviewed as authors of the report.
Broken Trust
For many people, the words ‘trust the experts’ now invoke a sort of pavlovian horror response. This trope serves as a visceral reminder of 3 years’ constant gaslighting for daring to question the narrative, the relentless stream of celebrity medics repeating the ‘safe and effective’ mantra and the bullying and coercion to take a ‘vaccine’ that millions of people didn’t feel they needed or wanted.
Maintaining the human face of medicine
The encroachment of technocracy on medicine is a double-edged sword, wielding both the power to transform and the threat to dehumanise. While AI holds the potential to revolutionise diagnostics, treatment, and patient care, we must fight to keep the heart and soul of medicine alive – empathy, compassion, and ethical decision-making. We must demand that we maintain our humanity in the face of technological change.
The impact of blanket Do Not Resuscitate orders
In spring 2020, certain groups were denied access to care based on their age, frailty, and underlying health conditions. Blanket Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders were issued, without the patient’s consent. Certain hospitals also introduced a policy of not admitting anyone who had a DNR such that active medical care was also denied. How did this come about?
Stats Not The Whole Story!
The statistical jiggery-pokery employed since 2020 is so outrageous it is perhaps best viewed through the lens of (dark) comedy, so we forewarn you in advance that — in a change from our usual (possibly over-sober) tone — the following article has been written in a somewhat jocular manner, despite covering a topic that is very much not a laughing matter.
Falling birth rates – a cause for concern?
HART recently published concerns about the wisdom of Covid-19 vaccination in pregnancy and we now look further into recent reports from many countries about falling birth rates. The big question, to which we have no clear answer, is whether these two issues are linked.
The misplaced attacks on Bridgen’s speech to the UK Parliament
On 17 March 2023 Member of Parliament (MP) Andrew Bridgen made an important speech in the UK Parliament asking ministers to critically consider the risks as well as the benefits for the covid vaccines. Bridgen is one of the only MPs to highlight vaccine safety concerns and has been suspended from the Conservative Party on supposedly unconnected but obviously spurious grounds.
The Banality of Evil, 21st Century Edition
Hannah Arendt is famous for her writings on the banality of evil. Her basic observation is that atrocities such as those seen in World War II were able to happen precisely because ordinary people became — through unconscious obedience and an individual failure to think — wheels in a grotesque machine. “How could that happen?” or “I would never have taken part in this!” are common instincts when reading about such historical events.
Excuses for excess deaths
The Royal College of Emergency Medicine claims that over 20,000 people died in 2022 after waiting for care for at least 12 hours. They say these deaths resulted from long delays in A&E, where emergency departments are frequently overwhelmed and unable to find patients a hospital bed. The claim is based on modelled data which showed that patients who waited longer for a bed had a higher mortality.
Consent withdrawn
NHS patients have selflessly contributed to research for many decades. Patients, particularly those with a poor prognosis, are often very willing to help researchers so that a similar diagnosis might not be as disastrous for others as it might be for them. In all, 50,000 patients participated in trials in the UK in 2017/2018.
What were you doing on 23rd March 2020?
It is hard to believe it is really three whole years since many of us were listening to the Prime Minister, adopting his most Churchillian tones, and telling the entire nation that we must stay in our homes, for all but food shopping, one item of exercise and essential travel to work: the announcement made only four days after SARS-CoV-2 had been downgraded as a High Consequence Infectious Disease.
Why is there a debate about miscarriage rates?
Amid concerns surrounding transparency in the pharmaceutical industry, a pattern of misrepresenting miscarriage rates in drug studies has come to light. The history of pharmaceutical harm in pregnancy includes Thalidomide, Diethylstilbestrol, Primodos, and Valproate. Now the covid vaccine data has revealed higher miscarriage rates than previously reported.

It Was A ‘Vaccine Strategy’ From The Start
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.
