Many promising treatment options have emerged over the past 2 years. The failure to implement them, indeed the vilification of their proponents, has been shocking. With increasing concerns over vaccine safety and efficacy, it is now even more vital to look properly at prevention and early treatment.

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.
The SARS-CoV-2 and influenza see-saw
Covid and influenza appear to have a reciprocal relationship. When a covid wave occurs influenza disappears and when covid recedes influenza returns. The fear of having to cope with covid and influenza at the same time over winter as warned in a report from Imperial this time last year, was not valid.
Laundering the death numbers
The ONS have released the latest update on their data for deaths by vaccination status. Superficially it appears to show residual protection against death in the vaccinated but only a little digging reveals that there is likely hidden information that could turn that observation on its head.
Whose interests do drug Regulators represent?
It is no longer possible for doctors and patients to receive unbiased, rigorous evaluations from drug regulators.
More worrying data on myocarditis / pericarditis
Two new studies on myocarditis / pericarditis after mRNA vaccination have been published in major peer-reviewed journals.
Both are based on very large population samples. Both these studies find significantly higher rates of myocarditis, especially in younger males, than governments have to date acknowledged publicly.
Imperial fantasy of 20 million lives saved
Imperial College has produced a new fantasy number to test people’s gullibility. This time they are claiming that 19.8 million lives have been saved by vaccination.
Imperial College now have a global reputation for making provable wrong claims based on modelling and they appear to want to bolster that reputation.
Updated analysis of deaths in males 15-19 years of age
Cumulative total deaths in young males have stopped deviating from the 2015/2019 baseline and have been running parallel with it.
Yet another open letter to the MHRA
But are the regulators listening?
Seventy-nine experienced health professionals and academics from the Children’s Covid Vaccines Advisory Council, have sent yet another letter to the MHRA exhorting them not to follow the FDA in authorising Covid-19 products for 0-4-year-olds. We know from past experience that where one regulator goes the others quickly follow.
Open Letter regarding covid vaccines for 0-4 yrs
We are writing to you urgently concerning the announcement that the FDA has granted an Emergency Use Authorisation for both Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines in preschool children.
New Israeli sperm donor study raises potential concerns
A new study has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Andrology, reporting on pre- and post-vaccination sperm counts and quality in 37 sperm donors in Israel. There have long been concerns about the potential for the mRNA products to have deleterious effects on male fertility, particularly after frequent reports of female menstrual irregularities, and the (now widely accepted) confirmation that the Lipid-nanoparticles become distributed around the body.
Natural immunity is not – and never was – just a right-wing conspiracy theory
There was never any reason to expect that “natural immunity” – the protection acquired through infection to SARS-COV-2 – should not be similar to that acquired for other respiratory viruses humankind has come into contact with – robust, flexible and durable. Were it not, our species would have been wiped out many millennia ago.
Covid-19: The Evidence Now – Part 4
If you have enjoyed the recent Evidence UPdates, here are two more on vaccine passports and ONS infection surveillance data.
The ONS Infection Survey: a re-evaluation of the data
Whether this is Omicron or cross reactivity with previously endemic coronaviruses is uncertain. What is clear from the Ct values in the ONS Infection Survey is that neither “non-pharmaceutical interventions” or vaccines have had any impact on waves of infectious SARS-CoV-2 carriers and that neither economically destructive lockdowns or mandating experimental vaccines should ever have been attempted.
Rise in long-term sickness
The ONS have published their survey data on the number of working aged people who are economically inactive. The levels are higher than in the past and many commentators were quick to blame the rise on long covid. It is worth looking a little more closely before jumping to that conclusion.
Vaccine Certification – A trojan horse for digital ID?
We (still) have grave concerns regarding the proposal of any sort of vaccine certification as a ‘way out’ of repeated lockdowns, or as a condition of foreign travel.
Lockdown Harms to children
From late 2020, the various harms of lockdowns, particularly for children, were becoming apparent, with acknowledgement from the DfE and OFSTED that all was not well. Signs of deterioration in adolescent mental health and increase in domestic violence and child abuse were noted, as summarised by the HART team.
FDA unanimously approve covid vaccine for 0-4 years
The FDA met on 15th June and despite all the evidence of non-efficacy from the infant Pfizer vaccine and the still total lack of data on long-term harms, they went ahead. If the last eighteen months are anything to go by, the MHRA will follow soon, followed after a respectable few weeks by the JCVI. Indeed, vaccination for this age-group is already listed for JCVI discussion.
