For those of us who have spent the last two years surveying unfolding events in dismay, these past few months have been a strange time. We witnessed the greatest imposition of restricted civil liberties ever seen in peacetime and observed with disbelief the supine (sometimes enthusiastic) response of media, political ‘opposition’, most institutions and public bodies, even in the face of ever-increasing evidence of the enormous societal cost.

Comparing covid in Eastern and Western Europe
There have been marked differences between the covid trajectories in Eastern and Western Europe; in particular Spring 2020, Spring 2021 and Autumn 2021 showed markedly different death rates (from covid).
Universal masking – is it still lurking around the corner?
HART member Gary Sidley has written numerous articles on the imposition of masking for the general public, despite poor evidence that masks work and plenty of evidence of harm.
Peppa Pig and the Game of Russian Roulette
Is no-one safe from the tentacles of the state’s propaganda machine? Can’t they just leave those kids alone? One of HART’s favourite children’s characters has been unwittingly – and we might say unethically – weaponised in a ‘drive by’ vaccine product placement advertisement.
First ever double-blind randomised trial of Vitamin D for the prevention of Covid infections
HART has been one of many voices previously highlighting the evidence for the role of Vitamin D deficiency in preventing severe outcomes from Covid infections, and questioning why the very safe and cheap measure of ensuring adequate intake was being ignored.
Meddling with modelling
This paper, published in the “peer-reviewed” Canadian Medical Association Journal, quite simply represents an amoral, unethical and utterly transparent attempt to use pseudoscientific modelling to fabricate a false narrative.
How many people have had covid?
The Government has attempted to answer this question using a combination of antibody testing and the ONS household survey. The latter tests a random sample of the country each week to determine who is PCR positive and extrapolates to estimate the prevalence in the whole population.
Two years of death since covid
There are now two complete years of data since excess deaths first started to rise in Spring 2020. Therefore we can compare deaths over that time as well as comparing 2020 to 2021.
The cruelty of testing whack-a-mole
throughout the pandemic, there was always the mantra of ‘protecting the vulnerable’. Given this, it has been extremely disturbing to witness the horrific treatment of care home residents, who are arguably the most vulnerable members of society.
What is the MHRA up to now?
Not content with authorising the Pfizer vaccine for 12-15s last summer and more recently and even more controversially for 5-11s, they have now authorised the Moderna Spikevax for this young age group.
Why are healthcare venues persisting with masks?
The evidence that masking healthy people in community settings reduces viral transmission is – at best – weak and contradictory. In light of this lack of empirical support for the effectiveness of face coverings, together with the multiple harms associated with them, HART welcomes the lifting of all mask mandates in the UK.
Worrying outbreaks of serious hepatitis cases in children
No apparent link to vaccination, but serious policy questions are still raised The UKHSA has reported a number of cases of severe hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) in young children. Some of these have been serious enough to require liver transplantation. The WHO issued a bulletin confirming that authorities in both Spain and Ireland were […]
Open Letter: To all members of the FDA Vaccines Committee
Pfizer application for Emergency Use Authorisation of the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines in children aged 6 months to 4 years.
Corporate-backed censorship does not keep us ‘safe’
One of the most galling tropes of the UK government Covid response, has been that officialdom has been “following the science” to keep everyone ‘safe’.
Rewriting history on school closures
If we are to avoid the mistakes of the last two years the first step must be admitting that mistakes were made. This has begun but some people are finding it harder than others.
Terms of Reference for the Covid-19 Public Inquiry
The deadline to respond to the proposed terms of reference for the English Public Inquiry into covid ends on 7th April. There are number of major omissions from the current proposed terms of reference
Doctors say ‘No’, politicians say ‘Go’. Stop the 5-to-11s ‘offer’
This is the heading of a crowdjustice appeal looking to challenge the government’s decision on vaccinating healthy primary school children. But given this is only an ‘offer’, is a legal challenge required?
Moving towards recovery
Surveying the costs of mass testing children and other NPIs in educational settings This piece was originally written for the British Medical Journal. They rejected the piece. The Daily Sceptic have also published it, but we feel this of the utmost importance and needs to be given the attention it deserves. Authors: Dr Zenobia Storah, […]
