Balancing on an ethical knife edge
It is important that we admit what we do not know and there are many gaps to the end of life Midazolam story. In fact it is possible to interpret what we do know in two totally different ways. 1. The relatives have been deceived or 2. The relatives are right.
Ethical boundaries in medical decision-making can be blurred by circumstances
An analysis of the spatial characteristics of deaths during the spring 2020 wave in Northern Italy was carried out by him along with a Panda colleague; this suggested that it looked nothing like a spreading virus, and more like the sudden imposition of a policy response.
MHRA Twitter blocking spree
The Perseus Report was written to raise awareness about the failure of MHRA to apply proper due diligence to the approval of covid vaccines, the significant harm caused and the risk that permanent changes to approval processes could cause further injuries and deaths from other medicines. The Perseus Group sent our report to MPs and MHRA themselves, so far we have had no response from MHRA or the Government.
Six principle points regarding Covid
Co-Chair of HART, Dr Jonathan Engler, recently appeared on a podcast with Dr Ahmad Malik. In it he gave a powerful overview of the pivotal aspects of the covid event.
Corporate Research NHS-style
Digging into the trial centres and the sponsorship has highlighted the current state of medical research in the UK and the influence of the drug company sponsor. Several of the centres involved are commercial companies with clearly a need to undertake drug company sponsored research in order to make a profit for their organisation.
The Assaults on our young have reached peak insanity
The myriad of harmful phenomena includes graphic and age-inappropriate sex education, gender identity confusion, under-researched and addictive vapes, doomsday climate change propaganda, phones that enable pornographic addiction and self-esteem wrecking social media. All are escalating at a time when the young are extremely vulnerable and in need of adults’ protection, rather than neglect, exploitation or other forms of abuse.
How behavioural scientists are enabling the ‘elite’ to rule the world
It is increasingly apparent that people’s day-to-day lives are being shaped by a global ‘elite’ that reside outside of our democratic systems. And our experiences over the last three years strongly suggest that these powerful actors are repeatedly deploying a three-stage process – an authoritarian template – to achieve their self-serving goals.
What really happened in the AZ trial?
Much attention has been given to the Pfizer/BioNtech trial because a Texan court ordered the release of the documents the FDA used as a basis for their approval. It is time to shed more light on the AZ trials.
Yet more fear mongering over covid in children
The usual covid high priests who have been wheeled out repeatedly in front of the television cameras to fear-monger about covid without any debate, are at it again. Several members of Independent SAGE and others have written a paper assessing the impact of covid on children over the course of the last three years. It is not the paper they wanted to write.
AstraZeneca children’s trial breaches Helsinki
As a retired paediatrician, I was shocked to see the Oxford Vaccine Group advertising on Twitter for children aged 6-17 to join the latest Sars-CoV-2 vaccine trial[1]. In the two days it has taken me coposing this letter, I now see from tonight’s BBC news that the trial has already begun.

Have we overcalled the excess death concern?
There is much confusion about excess deaths currently with different government bodies contradicting each other about the extent of the problem. The ONS use a baseline which includes 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 as years with which to calculate expected deaths. Despite this clearly elevated “normal” they have reported excess mortality for most weeks of this year.
NextCOVE
You may think that Covid-19 vaccines for healthy children have been withdrawn but don’t worry your child can get their next fix by enrolling in the NextCOVE trial, launched last month in Bradford, with several other centres across the UK due to start recruiting soon. The trial was announced by Yahoo ironically on the same day, 30th June, that all routine covid vaccines ended.
