The Covid Inquiry’s estimate of lives saved by vaccination – Part 2
In the 2nd of this 2-parter, Dr David White goes through the calculations behind the grossly misleading claim of 475,000 lives saved in England and Scotland by the covid vaccines. He makes a cogent case for zero benefits only harms.
The Government’s Manipulation Manual
a comprehensive guide to censorship and indoctrination Dr Gary Sidley In May 2026, a Government-commissioned paper was published, titled ‘False and Misleading Information: An Evidence Summary and Map for Policy and Practice’. Despite its relatively benign heading, it reads like an instruction manual to enable state control of the population’s beliefs and behaviour and, as […]
Mandatory Folic Acid for every man, woman & child
The government are seriously planning to introduce mandatory folic acid supplementation for every man, woman and child in the UK, in order to try and prevent maybe 31 children born with spina bifida. There has been no scientific Impact Assessment and NO parliamentary debate.
A reply to our recent letter re mandatory folic acid
Baroness Gerada has sent a detailed reply On 30th August, Nick Hunt from the Perseus Group, joined Clare Craig from HART and Liz Evans from UKMFA in writing to the 20 medically qualified MPs and peers about the potential risks of mandatory folic acid supplementation of the entire population of men, women and children, all […]
Letter to medically qualified MPs & peers
An open letter to medically qualified MPs and peers, highlights the potential risks of synthetic folic acid. particularly when rolled out to the entire population through mandatory fortification of flour.
Lest we Forget – Part 6 – A Question of Science, or a Question of Ethics?
The last of 6 articles by retired headteacher Hugh McCarthy, looks at the wider faiures of ethics among politicians and medical professionals.
Why was the public not informed promptly about Pfizer myocarditis risks?
Israeli data from early in 2021 on myocarditis in young males. Why was it shared with regulators internationally but not with their own citizens?
Starvation in the midst of plenty
Usable folate can run short in the embryo while the mother’s blood folate reads entirely normal Dr Clare Craig This article attempts a synthesis of the science on neural tube causation. Key points A mandate to add folic acid to flour depends on three beliefs: ● that these defects arise because women do not get enough […]
A country wide experiment with no way to collect the results
A fall, a plateau or a rise in neural tube defects could all be presented as success Dr Clare Craig Key points Folic acid is being added to non-wholemeal wheat flour with a mandate for all companies beginning on 13 December 2026. HART are opposed to this mandate. If it goes ahead, there are serious […]
How folic acid works
A mechanism was traced for the first time in July 2026 Dr Clare Craig There is only one trial of ordinary women given a lower dose of folic acid in pregnancy and it showed nine pregnancy losses for each prevented neural tube defect. For high risk women, thirty years after trials showed that folic acid […]
What can we learn from neural tube defects in migrants?
Why do Bangladeshi and Pakistani mothers in England have such different rates of NTDs? Dr Clare Craig Key points The rates before migration Pakistan does not have national birth defect surveillance but where rates of neural tube defects have been estimated they are high. A systematic review of worldwide incidence found five studies from Pakistan […]
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Lauren Edward’s new bill is a replica of the private member’s bill which failed in the last session of parliament. The bill is fundamentally flawed and in its unammended form poses a real risk to the vulnerable and frail: risk of coercion whether direct or inderect. If passed, it could start us on the same slippery slope as clearly seen in Canada. Do you know your MP’s voting intentions? If in doubt, write today.
Case studies in neural tube defect causation
Neural tube defects occur in epidemic waves. Why? Dr Clare Craig Key points There is a firm belief that it is folate deficiency that leads to neural tube defects. This is despite a lack of evidence of deficiency and the established effects of famine. Because of this belief other questions do not get asked about […]
What caused Britain and Ireland’s neural tube defect epidemics?
The search for the reason was abandoned halfway through Dr Clare Craig Britain and Ireland once carried the highest recorded rates of neural tube defect in the world. They no longer do. The rates rose for 60 yrs, peaked twice and then collapsed and neither the rise nor the fall has been explained. If we […]
Three things high folic acid does to animals
Animal models provide evidence of harm Dr Clare Craig Rodents handle folic acid far more efficiently than humans but nevertheless they see three clear types of harm: altered brain development, weakened immune defence and faster growth of tumours that already exist. There is twenty five years of evidence on these topics. Most of the evidence […]
The enzyme bottlenecks
MTHFR gets the attention but DHFR is slow in everybody. Dr Clare Craig Ask why folic acid might be a problem and the conversation arrives at MTHFR within a few minutes. Have you been tested? Do you carry the variant? Should you be taking methylfolate instead? There is actually another gene that we should be […]
The plateau in four countries
Why is the decline that stopped in four countries cited as proof that folic acid worked? Dr Clare Craig Key points In every country cited as evidence that folic acid policy worked, neural tube defects had been falling for decades before the policy arrived. The decline did not accelerate when recommendations or fortification began. In […]
