The ubiquitous deployment of behavioural-science techniques – ‘nudges’ – to increase compliance with both covid-19 restrictions and the vaccine rollout has raised major ethical concerns. Particularly alarming has been the state’s strategic use of fear (or ‘affect’ in the language of behavioural science), shaming (‘ego’) and peer pressure (‘norms’).

German Ministry of Health reports on vaccine injury
The German Health Minister is an extremist in his views on the novel ‘vaccines’, promoting their use in children and claiming there have been no side effects. However, the German Ministry of Health appears to have some good actors among their staff who have reported on data from the Paul Ehrlich Institute, the German regulator responsible for vaccine safety.
The latest on vaccination of 5-11
n February 2022, the JCVI in their wisdom, made a ‘non-urgent offer’ of Covid-19 vaccination for healthy children aged 5-11, scheduled to begin in April. It is worth reading the full statement, which hardly makes a strong case.
Impact of vaccination on covid death
Authorities continue to claim that vaccination provides 80% protection from covid death. The data that these calculations are based on are measured in sample populations subject to different biases.
(Yet) more worrying data on myocarditis in children
Hart recently published an article summarising the results of a study performed in the US military which found that nearly 3% of those vaccinated with smallpox vaccine developed subclinical myocarditis (defined by an increased troponin level – which was prospectively measured in all subjects).
Open Letter: Covid-19-vaccine-associated Myocarditis – a Cumulative Risk
We, the undersigned, are writing to express our deep concern at the guidance regarding further mRNA vaccination after any episode of myocarditis, as detailed in the UKHSA guidance for healthcare professionals.
Open Letter to the Secretary of State for Health & Social Care
We, the undersigned health professionals and scientists, call upon you urgently to pause the covid- 19 vaccine rollout for healthy children, while a thorough and independent safety review is undertaken.
Measuring the extent of the Myocarditis Iceberg?
In 2015 a team of researchers employed by the medical services of the US military published a peer-reviewed paper on the incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis after smallpox vaccination (SPX) and vaccination with an inactivated trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV).
Covid-19: The Evidence Now Part 5
This week’s instalment looks at two issues which have fed the fear narrative. Firstly the much vexed topic of asymptomatic spread. Secondly the question of effective treatments.
Why are many treatment options still being ignored?
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.
