Covid19 – the final nail in coffin of medical research

28th June 2021

“The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time.” Edward Grey

Several years ago, I wrote a book called Doctoring Data. It was my attempt to help people navigate their way through medical headlines and medical data.

One of the main reasons I was stimulated to write it, is because I had become deeply concerned that science, especially medical science, had been almost fully taken over by commercial interests. With the end result that much of the data we were getting bombarded with was enormously biased, and thus corrupted. I wanted to show how some of this bias gets built in.

I was not alone in my concerns. As far back as 2005, John Ioannidis wrote the very highly cited paper ‘Why most Published Research Findings are False’. It has been downloaded and read by many, many, thousands of researchers over the years, so they can’t say they don’t know:

‘Moreover for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias.’1

Marcia Angell, who edited the New England Journal of Medicine for twenty years, wrote the following. It is a quote I have used many times, in many different talks:

‘It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgement of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.’

Peter Gotzsche, who set up the Nordic Cochrane Collaboration, and who was booted out of said Cochrane collaboration for questioning the HPV vaccine (used to prevent cervical cancer) wrote the book. ‘Deadly Medicine and Organised Crime. [How big pharma has corrupted healthcare]’.

The book cover states… ‘The main reason we take so many drugs is that drug companies don’t sell drugs, they sell lies about drugs… virtually everything we know about drugs is what the companies have chosen to tell us and our doctors… if you don’t believe the system is out of control, please e-mail me and explain why drugs are the third leading cause of death.’

Richard Smith edited the British Medical Journal (BMJ) for many years. He now writes a blog, amongst other things. A few years ago, he commented:

‘Twenty years ago this week, the statistician Doug Altman published an editorial in the BMJ arguing that much medical research was of poor quality and misleading. In his editorial entitled ‘The scandal of Poor Medical Research.’ Altman wrote that much research was seriously flawed through the use of inappropriate designs, unrepresentative sample, small sample, incorrect methods of analysis and faulty interpretation… Twenty years later, I feel that things are not better, but worse…

In 2002 I spent eight marvellous weeks in a 15th palazzo in Venice writing a book on medical journals, the major outlets for medical research, and the dismal conclusion that things were badly wrong with journals and the research they published. My confidence that ‘things can only get better’ has largely drained away.’

Essentially, medical research has inexorably turned into an industry. A very lucrative industry. Many medical journals now charge authors thousands of dollars to publish their research. This ensures that it is very difficult for any researcher, not supported by a university, or a pharmaceutical company, to afford to publish anything, unless they are independently wealthy.

The journals then have the cheek to claim copyright, and charge money to anyone who actually wants to read, or download the full paper. Fifty dollars for a few on-line pages! They then bill for reprints, they charge for advertising. Those who had the temerity to write the article get nothing – and nor do the peer reviewers.

It is all very profitable. Last time I looked the Return on Investment (profit) was thirty-five per-cent for the big publishing houses. It was Robert Maxwell who first saw this opportunity for money making.

Driven by financial imperative, the research itself has also, inevitably, become biased. He who pays the paper calls the tune. Pharmaceutical companies, food manufacturers and suchlike. They can certainly afford the publication fees.

In addition to all the financial and peer-review pressure, if you dare swim against the approved mainstream views you will, very often, be ruthlessly attacked. As many people know, I am a critic of the cholesterol hypothesis, along with my band of brothers…we few, we happy few. In the 1970s, Kilmer McCully, who plays double bass in our band, was looking into a cause of cardiovascular disease that went against the mainstream view. This is what happened to him:

‘Thomas N. James, a cardiologist and president of the University of Texas Medical Branch who was also the president of the American Heart Association in 1979 and ’80, is even harsher [regarding the treatment of McCully]. ”It was worse than that – you couldn’t get ideas funded that went in other directions than cholesterol,” he says. ”You were intentionally discouraged from pursuing alternative questions. I’ve never dealt with a subject in my life that elicited such an immediate hostile response.

It took two years for McCully to find a new research job. His children were reaching college age; he and his wife refinanced their house and borrowed from her parents. McCully says that his job search developed a pattern: he would hear of an opening, go for interviews and then the process would grind to a stop. Finally, he heard rumors of what he calls ”poison phone calls” from Harvard. ”It smelled to high heaven,” he says.’

McCully says that when he was interviewed on Canadian television after he left Harvard, he received a call from the public-affairs director of Mass. General. ”He told me to shut up,” McCully recalls. ”He said he didn’t want the names of Harvard and Mass. General associated with my theories.’ 2

More recently, I was sent a link to an article outlining the attacks made on another researcher who published a paper which found that being overweight meant having a (slightly) lower risk of death than being of ‘normal weight. This, would never do:

‘A naïve researcher published a scientific article in a respectable journal. She thought her article was straightforward and defensible. It used only publicly available data, and her findings were consistent with much of the literature on the topic. Her coauthors included two distinguished statisticians.

To her surprise her publication was met with unusual attacks from some unexpected sources within the research community. These attacks were by and large not pursued through normal channels of scientific discussion. Her research became the target of an aggressive campaign that included insults, errors, misinformation, social media posts, behind-the-scenes gossip and maneuvers, and complaints to her employer.

The goal appeared to be to undermine and discredit her work. The controversy was something deliberately manufactured, and the attacks primarily consisted of repeated assertions of preconceived opinions. She learned first-hand the antagonism that could be provoked by inconvenient scientific findings. Guidelines and recommendations should be based on objective and unbiased data. Development of public health policy and clinical recommendations is complex and needs to be evidence-based rather than belief-based. This can be challenging when a hot-button topic is involved.’ 3

Those who lead the attacks on her were my very favourite researchers, Walter Willet and Frank Hu. Two eminent researchers from Harvard who I nickname Tweedledum and Tweedledummer. Harvard itself has become an institution, which, along with Oxford University, comes up a lot in tales of bullying and intimidation. Willet and Hu are internationally known for promoting vegetarian and vegan diets. Willet is a key figure in the EAT-Lancet initiative.

Where is science in all this? I feel the need to state, at this point, that I don’t mind attacks on ideas. I like robust debate. Science can only progress through a process of new hypotheses being proposed, being attacked, being refined and strengthened – or obliterated. But what we see now is not science. It is the obliteration of science itself:

‘Anyone who has been a scientist for more than 20 years will realize that there has been a progressive decline in the honesty of communications between scientists, between scientists and their institutions and the outside world.

Yet, real science must be an area where truth is the rule; or else the activity simply stops being scient and becomes something else: Zombie science. Zombie science is a science that is dead, but is artificially keep moving by a continual infusion of funding. From a distance Zombie science looks like the real thing, the surface features of a science are in place – white coats, laboratories, computer programming, PhDs, papers, conferences, prizes etc. But the Zombie is not interested in the pursuit of truth – its citations are externally-controlled and directed at non-scientific goals, and inside the Zombie everything is rotten…

Scientists are usually too careful and clever to risk telling outright lies, but instead they push the envelope of exaggeration, selectivity and distortion as far as possible. And tolerance for this kind of untruthfulness has greatly increased over recent years. So, it is now routine for scientists deliberately to ‘hype’ the significance of their status and performance and ‘spin’ the importance of their research.’ Bruce Charlton: Professor of Theoretical Medicine.

I was already pretty depressed with the direction that medical science was taking. Then COVID19 came along, the distortion and hype became so outrageous that I almost gave up trying to establish what was true, and was just made up nonsense.

For example, I stated, right at the start of the COVID19 pandemic, that vitamin D could be important in protecting against the virus. For having the audacity to say this, I was attacked by the fact checkers. Indeed, anyone promoting vitamin D to reduce the risk of COVID19 infection, was ruthlessly hounded.

 Guess what. Here from 17th June:

‘Hospitalized COVID-19 patients are far more likely to die or to end up in severe or critical condition if they are vitamin D-deficient, Israeli researchers have found.

In a study conducted in a Galilee hospital, 26 percent of vitamin D-deficient coronavirus patients died, while among other patients the figure was at 3%.

“This is a very, very significant discrepancy, which represents a big clue that starting the disease with very low vitamin D leads to increased mortality and more severity,” Dr. Amir Bashkin, endocrinologist and part of the research team, told The Times of Israel.’ 4

I also recommended vitamin C for those already in hospital. Again, I was attacked, as has everyone who has dared to mention COVID19 and vitamin C in the same sentence. Yet, we know that vitamin C is essential for the health and wellbeing of blood vessels, and the endothelial cells that line them. In severe infection the body burns through vitamin C, and people can become ‘scrobutic’ (the name given to severe lack of vitamin C).

Vitamin C is also known to have powerful anti-viral activity. It has been known for years. Here, from an article in 1996:

‘Over the years, it has become well recognized that ascorbate can bolster the natural defense mechanisms of the host and provide protection not only against infectious disease, but also against cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases. The functions involved in ascorbate’s enhancement of host resistance to disease include its biosynthetic (hy-droxylating), antioxidant, and immunostimulatory activities. In addition, ascorbate exerts a direct antiviral action that may confer specific protection against viral disease. The vitamin has been found to inactivate a wide spectrum of viruses as well as suppress viral replication abd expression in infected cell.’ 5

I like quoting research on vitamins from way before COVID19 appeared, where people were simply looking at Vitamin C without the entire medico-industrial complex looking over their shoulder, ready to stamp out anything they don’t like. Despite a mass of evidence that Vitamin C has benefits against viral infection, it is a complete no-go area and no-one even dares to research it now. Facebook removes any content relating to Vitamin C and COVID19.

As of today, any criticism of the mainstream narrative is simply being removed. Those who dare to raise their heads above the parapet, have them chopped off:

‘Dr Francis Christian, practising surgeon and clinical professor of general surgery at the University of Saskatchewan, has been immediately suspended from all teaching and will be permanently removed from his role as of September.

Dr Christian has been a surgeon for more than 20 years and began working in Saskatoon in 2007. He was appointed Director of the Surgical Humanities Program and Director of Quality and Patient Safety in 2018 and co-founded the Surgical Humanities Program. Dr. Christian is also the Editor of the Journal of The Surgical Humanities.

On June 17th Dr Christian released a statement to over 200 of his colleagues, expressing concern over the lack of informed consent involved in Canada’s “Covid19 vaccination” program, especially regarding children.

To be clear, Dr Christian’s position is hardly an extreme one.

He believes the virus is real, he believes in vaccination as a general principle, he believes the elderly and vulnerable may benefit from the Covid “vaccine”… he simply doesn’t agree it should be used on children, and feels parents are not being given enough information for properly informed consent.6

When I wrote Doctoring Data, a few years ago, I included the following thoughts about the increasing censorship and punishment that was already very clearly out in the open:

…where does it end? Well, we know where it ends.

First, they came for the communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist

Then they came for the socialists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist

Then they came from the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist

Then they came for me, and there was no-one left to speak for me

Do you think this is a massive over-reaction? Do I really believe that we are heading for some form of totalitarian stated, where dissent against the medical ‘experts’ will be punishable by imprisonment? Well, yes, I do. We are already in a situation where doctors who fail to follow the dreaded ‘guidelines’ can be sued, or dragged in front the General Medical Council, and struck of. Thus losing their job and income…

Where next?

The lamps are not just going out all over Europe. They are going out, all over the world.

      Dr Kendrick, thank you so much for all you do in bringing some sanity into what’s becoming a dangerously insane world. I’ve read your books and blogs over he last year, and have found them to be both a comfort and a source of rage. Comforting to know that there is a medical professional with the courage to speak truth to power. Enraged at the thought of the terrible loss and suffering innocent people have gone through. When I think of my own dear grandfather who survived six years in the jungle of Burma during the war to end his says fretting over his cholesterol levels, too afraid to enjoy the pleasures of wholesome food with his family, despite his otherwise good health and high levels of physical activity. My mother too is spending her days in a care home, frail with Parkinson’s after her cholesterol fretting and statin treatment began in her late fifties. She had no heart attacks and had been and active and healthy woman, who’d dedicated her working career to the NHS as a HCA. It’s pitiful to see her now in her mid 80s confined this last year to an isolated and deteriorating existence in a care home.
      What has your profession done to this country?
      What does it continue to do?
      My daughter and her husband are both NHS medical staff, she is a nurse and her husband a Obstetrician in training. They both had ‘Covid’ early this year and having had the infection my daughter doesn’t want to have the Covid vaccination, she has done her research and feels it’s not for her, she is young, fit and healthy. If Covid vaccines are mandated she is seriously considering leaving nursing, a great loss for her and the NHS. I support her decision, I don’t want to take the Covid vaccine and nor do my fit and healthy young adult sons, and I resent the coercion and hatred being inflicted on us all. My son-in-law to my surprise, given his medical training, had the jabs and was quite unwell following both. He really only took it due to peer pressure from his seniors and colleagues and hadn’t really looked into it. What surprised me, was his lack of knowledge about immunity and infections. We have known for a long time that exposure to our childhood illness like chickenpox gave us immunity until old age, he wasn’t aware of this nor the concept of ‘chicken pox’ parties that were the norm when our kids were little. It wasn’t something that he’d learnt at medical school, in fact he’d been taught very little about immunity and vaccination other than a serious lecture about Andrew Wakefield.
      How did we get into it his sorry state of affairs? How did the Americans get themselves into a position where they give 72 vaccinations to children in childhood, 32 in the first year. Is this where we are heading. Repeated doses of vaccinations for childhood ailments like chickenpox, with all the potential risks and side effects from their ingredients?
      Where is this going to end?
      A growing list of mandated vaccines to keep the worker bees from taking the time to heal, rest and nurse our infants, is this what are medical professionals want for the nation or is the fear of being labelled an ‘anti-vaxxer’ going to be all it takes to keep them silent?
      I can honestly say I see what’s happening now as the end to our respected and trusted medical profession. Breaks your heart.

    Wow – this is a terribly sad newsletter to read and it must have been a difficult one to write. People around me don’t believe this is going on. They think it’s all a conspiracy. I’ve worked with the media for over 20 years and I know there’s something afoot. There’s never been an absolute narrative in a story before. The lack of coverage of the marches, the monotone messaging, it’s all unprecedented in my working life.

    I’m grateful for your emails – it means I’m not alone in my rejection of this madness, but sometimes I feel like I’m holding back a tsunami and that can feel overwhelming, not to mention deeply upsetting, at times.

    Thank you for keeping me informed and arming me with the proof, it is MUCH appreciated.

      Yes, Sarah, I agree with you too. I have been researching health for quite a while and am aghast at the lack of knowledge about nutrition and the negative side effects of the drugs they pedal. This includes the whole medical establishment. Anything natural or cheap is deemed ineffective or seudoscience. There are good scientists and doctors out there but far an few between, Dr. Kendrick among them. It is so hard to find somebody that can truly help with a health malady these days. As for the whole Covid thing, well it is mind boggling as to what is going on and the more I learn about it the stranger it gets. Dark times indeed.

        I agree, but I think the damage is unevenly spread across medicine. Really acute situations like broken bones and other emergencies, are no doubt handled well, but medicine that is meant to treat the patient long term is the most suspect.

        Visiting the doctor for a checkup when nothing is actually bothering you, is fraught with risk!

          David Bailey: Yes, emergency medicine is very good, admirable. The great improvement in EM was motivated by military necessity. But most conventional medicine, particularly for chronic conditions, and medical education, are based upon “Rockefeller medicine.” Old John D. wanted a market for the sludge which remained after all the useful petroleum products were refined out of the crude oil. Thus the pharmaceutical industry was born. The Flexner Report heavily influenced the development of medical education, and thus medicine, for about a full century now. Homeopathy pushed to the sidelines.

          The first time I ever visited the doctor for a routine checkup was when I turned 65. He put me on statins. I thought, what is a “statin”? That’s when I found Dr Kendrick and threw the script away.

            My father, an MD himself with about 50 years of experience, almost never goes for any check ups. Whenever he’s asked why, his standard reply is: “Because they’re going to start digging and they will find something”.

        No need for divisive identity labels of ideological capture.
        Force has a right place within law and the communication and upholding of lawful living.
        But always proportionate to the purpose of correcting and restoring of Law by which love and reason align true.
        Vengeance of guilt, fear and hate, set in grievance, is not the basis of Love or Law, but as a basis for reason or logic will operate the monster it seeks or purports to eradicate or kill.
        Thus a perverse love of hatred claims moral virtue and attacks corrective love as ‘weak’, unreal and debunked.
        Standing in integrity will seem to be ‘fighting’ or ‘resisting’ but the primary quality that supports us is love of truth. NOT the usurpation by personal vendetta that can be contagious as the hurt and hate of intolerable pain.
        The call for compassion is first for ourselves.
        Self-hate will seek a target to come back at us by unexpected ways.
        But a false love seeks to manipulate or mask over hidden hate.

        Everything born, must die.
        If we see ourself only in terms of death, we make a world of destruction.
        Love of peace is not conflict evasion as a specialness of self!

            Do you mean vengeance?
            Hate MUST find a target. Or you are left holding its pain as your own result.
            The Fear Reset induces the blind to mask hate as virtue, as if to save themselves.
            Those who love to hate, must then hate to love, for love would undo their grievance and deprive them of claim to power.
            There are crimes to answer and facts to ascertain.
            Currently their are no courts or enforcement agencies willing to take such cases.
            But we shall see what transpires as the full extent of deceit comes to recognition of all who have participated in a corrupt system.
            Meanwhile your mind is being played with, such that – like those under hypnotic trance – your thoughts may not be your own.

            It was also a show trial. Deceit operates to mask in appearances of love, caring or justice. You may be-live such to be true because it is what is taught as history.
            Dying people often recognise the nature and value of love.
            But the living dead believe there is no love, for death is the power over love and life that they worship – as a world of destruction as their normal.

            Nuremberg is where we learned that the method of extermination at ‘Camp Belsen’ (Belzec) was not poison gas but electrocution: “special electrical appliances were built in for mass extermination of people. Under the pretext that the people were being led to the bath-house, the doomed were undressed and then driven to the building where the floor was electrified in a special way; there they were killed.” https://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/02-19-46.asp
            Nuremberg is also where we learned from Justice Robert Jackson that the Germans experimented with some type of bomb (possibly “atomic”) which they used upon “a small village [which] was provisionally erected, with temporary structures, and in it approximately 20,000 Jews were put. By means of this newly invented weapon of destruction, these 20,000 people were eradicated almost instantaneously, and in such a way that there was no trace left of them; that it developed, the explosive developed, temperatures of from 400° to 500° centigrade and destroyed them without leaving any trace at all.” https://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/06-21-46.asp
            And Nuremberg is of course where we learned that the Germans committed the Katyn Forest Massacre. https://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/02-14-46.asp

    It appears that during the past year Vitamin D has died. It has been killed by officialdom, but there are signs of continuing life at the grass-roots. Its death has been aided by clinical and academic physicians, and the Royal College of Physicians has remained silent, despite being the shining light of medical-scientific progress for 500 years. Another light that is going out.

          489.Where a product like a food or a herbal remedy makes ‘medicinal’ claims, i.e. it claims to help cure or mitigate a disease, it is regulated in the UK by the MHRA. Where a food product makes ‘health’ claims, i.e. it claims to benefit your health more generally, it is regulated by the DHSC in England, by the FSA in Wales and Northern Ireland, and by Food Standards Scotland in Scotland. Industry experts have highlighted that this patchwork of regulators creates additional costs and uncertainty for businesses. They would like to see the relevant functions brought together in a central regulatory body and a clearer UK landscape. We are mindful that this is a devolved matter, and we are not advocating the creation of a new quango, but we urge the Government to find a common sense solution which creates greater certainty for businesses by tackling the complexity of the current regulatory landscape

            the thing about 400 IU is that it is such an underdose that it will do nothing. Most people living in environments like the UK would need 7-8K units per day to get to a blood level (50 ng/ml) where their immune system could function to fight off viruses. Any decent researcher would know that 400 IU’s will do nothing. So sorry, your gov’t is playing with you.

          Fauci admits to an oral daily dose of 5,000 IU of D3 per day. Yes, saw it in an interview with him , from 2020 if memory serves….
          From my understanding, it would take months at this rate to lift a sub-optimal person up to what is regarded as ‘Top of the desirable range’ . 10,000 IU is what I take for a couple of days per week, 5K for the rest. Plus Vit K2

        Oh but it does! The point about vitamin D is that it is freely available on the shelves of TESCO. If they had but told everyone to take this harmless supplement once a day, considerably fewer people would have got COVID – or died of COVID.

        By sending out that supplement, they acknowledged the benefit of D, but did the absolute minimum to ‘spoil’ their pandemic.

        To put this in a wider context, you should realise that in winter people north of about Birmingham can’t make enough vitamin D from sunlight, and of course, in a lockdown nobody can! I have seen it suggested that the only reason why COVID and flu are seasonal is that people run short of vitamin D in the winter months.

        The FREE Vitamin d issued by the UK Gov was a waste of time and money.
        Most UK adults have 25(OH)D vitamin d levels between 25-75 nmol/l from winter through summer, In order to reduce covid severity humans require levels between 100–150nmol/l and generally that requires a high dose (10,000iu) of vitamin d3 daily for probably 4 weeks followed by a daily amount at least 5000iu daily to maintain a safe level throughout the year.

            People can still get VitD deficiency in summer if they don’t supplement their diet and don’t get enough sun exposure, and spend too much time indoors. It’s especially the case with women and girls with darker skin and whose clothing completely covers them up.
            There have been cases of mothers being accused of child abuse because their babies have suffered broken bones. One mother was charged with murder, until the pathologist carrying out the autopsy on the baby found the bones were easily breaking during the autopsy. That was due to the lack of Vitamin D in the mother and the breast milk she was feeding to the baby causing very brittle bones.

            A friend of mine was diagnosed with VitD deficiency last year, as she was feeling very tired all the time. She works in an office all week, and gets little sun exposure.

            The first 6 or so sites I see recommend between 10 and 30 mins of mid day sun. No indication of the level of exposure required, eg swimsuit and horizontal or fully clothed & vertical. Nor is there any indication of how the benefits taper as we move away from midday.
            This is interesting –
            “common health recommendations given by authorities in many countries, that sun exposure should be avoided for three to five hours around noon and postponed to the afternoon, may be wrong and may even promote CMM”
            https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18348449/
            And
            “study published in the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has shown that just one 20-minute exposure to summer sun in Hawaii wearing a bathing suit produced between 15,000 and 20,000 IU of vitamin D3. 1. The best part is that you can’t “overdose” on vitamin D obtained from sunlight.”

            I believe that brittle bones are mostly caused by a protein deficiency, not a vitamin D deficiency. Kidney disease is associated with brittle bones, isn’t it?

          Vitamin D3 needs to be taken with Vitamin K3 to aid absorption. Another benefit of this for older people is that these two vitamins, taken in conjunction with magnesium, also help to protect bones. (Far more important to take these than calcium supplements). Magnesium is often deficient – our food doesn’t always give us enough these days.

          Years ago, a friend of my Father’s who was in the RAF during the last World War told us that there were always bowls of Vitamin C tablets on the dining tables and that everyone was encouraged to fill their pockets and take them regularly during the day/night. He said you rarely saw anyone with even a snuffle. It seems clear that there was a directive on the benefits of Vitamin C then which begs the question, “Why does the medical establishment diss the benefits of Vitamin C now?”

            There is at large in society an attitude that almost any change is for the good because the generations that came before us were ignorant. “Out with the old, in with the better. We know better, because we are better educated, know more, understand more.” Except that they don’t, they are victims of Dunning-Kruger syndrome – “at 18, s/he was amazed at how ignorant the parents were. At 21, s/he was amazed at how much they had learnt whilst they had been away studying.”
            Everywhere you look, you can see cases where good, well-designed systems are being replaced with alternatives whose benefits are unproven either theoretically or in practice. Medicine is not exempt from this – as well as the good doctors who wish to improve the care they can provide for their patients, there are those who wish to make a name for themselves (“leave a legacy”) by making changes (“introducing improvements”).
            Simple non-medical ideas such as “eat well, sleep well, exercise frequently” just aren’t sexy, let’s find a wonder drug that has the same effect. The latter also has the great benefit that it absolves one from having to assume any form of responsibility (or take any action) for their own well-being.

            The attitude is contained in the Mindspace document, where they say that to bring about change first disrupt the existing systems, then it is easier to get people to follow the “new” systems. Also a feature of “Common Purpose”. They use phrases which most people would think indicate change for the better, but which are no more than disruptors in order to get them to submit to the new authority.

            generalmarley4: Vitamin D is dosed in either mcg (micrograms) or IU (international units). I take 125 mcg (5000 IU) daily in a capsule combined with vitamn K2 (50 mcg). Barovsky has posted a picture of the Now brand of this combination. I take the Solaray brand of the same thing. Both are good.

      1. tedhutchinson

        Dr John Campbell is still basing his information on “Official” sources and so the amounts of vitamin d he is suggesting daily remain too low for safety and are unlikely to raise 25(OH)D much above 75nmol/l (30ng/ml)
        Population-wide vitamin D repletion to 50ng/ml (125nmol/l) 25OHD would suppress COVID-19 transmission well below the rate required for widespread infection – and likewise greatly reduce the chance of severe symptoms for the few who are infected. The same is true of influenza.
        For most UK adults more than 5000iu daily cholecalciferol is required.

          Not apparently true. I know other people who say that they reach ~150 nmol/ltr by taking ~3,000 IU/day of D3, either all year or autumn to spring. I now take it all year because the UK ‘summer sun’ is pathetic.

          Fauci was reported in 2020 as taking 6,000 IU/day. He appears to have a rather low body mass. So his dose rate in terms of kg/kg is probably twice what I take and testing seems advisable.

          1. Madge Hirsch

            Absorption is very variable among individuals. On 3000iu a day I could not get into the adequate 30ng/mL range whereas my husband on the same dose managed 49ng/mL. What is measured is by the blood test actually calcifediol ( what is produced by the liver from cholecalciferol) . If your liver works suboptimally it might not be transforming the vit D to calcifediol very well.

            Do not forget that the United Kingdom is well to the north of most of the USA. Where I live, approx. latitude 53 degrees north, is north of all of it, and also of much of Canada. Add to that, there are frequent cloudy days and the Atlantic ocean trying to empty itself onto us at intervals.

            If you want to keep your Vitamin D level up in the UK, supplement and do not rely on the sun.

          I don’t think it’s that simple. All the emphasis here is on absorption, not consumption. You may need vitamin D for many reasons. If you do need it for many reasons you’ll use more than someone who only has a couple of requirements.

I’ve tried several different types but always end up abandoning it because of the palpitations. I only eat beef dripping, lard and butter with a Low carb diet. I’ll just have to get out into the sun amap.

          3. AhNotepad

            Lucy, glad Gary’s and my replies were some use. From Tucker’s information, the beef dripping may be ok if it comes from grass fed and finished animals, the lard not so much. Pigs in the UK are fed on soy and grain concoctions as I understand, and the omega 6 oils concentrate in the fat, hence making the lard something to avoid. Butter tastes really good, is first class stuff, and just a tad expensive, but what price is ill health?

          4. Gary Ogden

            Lucy: I have no idea, but since vitamin D and vitamin A, along with vitamin K2, work synergistically in the metabolism, perhaps you have insufficient vitamin A uptake from foods? Contrary to popular belief, pre-formed vitamin A (retinol) is absent from plant foods. Only animal foods contain it. Organs, particularly liver, are the best source.

          5. Lucy

            Hi, many thanks for your reply. I think I did see a vit d, k2 combination spray so I might give that a try. It’s very odd getting palpitation as it happens every time after taking vit d for about 10 days, it does concern me so I stop taking it. Maybe it’s my bodies way of telling me I don’t need it maybe/

      As we have seen, the more (apparently) serious the problem, the more action governments (especially authoritarian ones) take, and therefore the more difficult it is to voice dissent.
      There is very strong evidence in the minutes of the various SAGE meetings that the degree of fear displayed by the government caused the specialists not only to fail to explain the science to the government, but also to fail almost completely to challenge the hopelessly incorrect epidemiological model that the government built for itself.
      The big problem was that it was very difficult to find authoritative information which could be put forward as a sensible view of the situation. The possible sources of that information (I know a few) were staying very quiet, for fear that they might be scourged for daring to challenge the orthodoxy. After no more than 10 days of the lockdown there was enough authoritative data to determine that Covid-19 presents very little risk to the vast majority of the population, but is very dangerous to people who are over 70 or who have existing respiratory problems. By that time it was already too late to do or say anything which might have changed their minds.

        Cedders, science, information, facts, have never been relevant to the current tyrrany, except how they could be distorted so that the sheep will follow. This has been going on for decades, and more than a decade ago the Mindspace document was published which is no more than a psy-op, and an attack on the people of the UK and other countries, by their respective governments. It is now being morphed into the climate scam which (I think) the head of the IPCC said at the time that climate change was never about temperature, but about wealth distribution. Not what people might think being anything to do with sharing wealth among the whole population, but a power and money grab by the elites, and the rest subjected to slavery.

In my experience they are usually more arrogant than (non-surgical) doctors. Could you not consider the possibility that an intelligent person with a scientific background and an interest in ethics and people may be able to make judgments on ethics and medical practice with guidance from the medical members of the committee from the community viewpoint rather than a strictly medical one?

          Dana: Leafy green vegetables are generally rich in vitamin K1, but this is converted to K2 by gut bacteria. Ruminants do this well, but humans not so well. Some cheeses contain good amounts of K2, and natto, made from fermented soybeans, is rich in it. I find it revolting, though, so I eat cheeses and supplement at 50 mcg K2 (MK-7) together with 5,000 IU D3 (cholecalciferol) from Solaray.

      Do not think that autism is necessarily a negative. Obsession can be a benefit. Sensitivity to light and sound, not so much. Nor the difficulty perceiving nonverbal social signals. Got a lemon, make lemonade.

      The problem is more with an inadequate upbringing to compensate for autistic weaknesses.

      I could list pages of things parents could do.

    Thank you Dr K.
    I am old and have not got many years left, but I rather wanted to look forward to the good thngs that would be happening when I am gone. Forget that. The line ends here. I have a daughter who has two children. Middle age and highly educated but naive. She has bought the store.” I know people who work in Whitehall, and even Parliament, and what they say is true.” Since when has that been a reason to trust them? She has had The Virus, she has an underactive thyroid – possibly Hashimotos – but of course she has had the jab. Of course she had the children vaccinated, and will send the girl for the HPV jab and both of them for the genetic modification when she can I think of all those little,not particularly valuable, things which have a story, and which have come down to me through the female line. Is there any point in cherishing them any longer? Oh and the children have “Autistic Spectrum” diagnoses.
    Excuse me. I am going to shut myself in my room and have a little cry.

Many years ago, in the Register Office in that bit of packing up at the end of the day aand one of the Registrars said “I’ve nothing against Christians …” “Me neither ” and we looked at each other and said “Are we allowed to say that?” The answer is not to worry too much and remember, it will all be the same in 100 years time. And those hostages to fortune that we launched – they will be cursing us as we curse the slavers and exploiters of back then.

            Who was instrumental in founding The Royal Academy? Robert Boyle?

            I have a book about him written by Rosemary Sargent–“The Diffident Naturalist.” I’ll have to re-read it. As I recall, Boyle’s theology influenced his philosophy and that influenced The Royal Academy (Boyle published “The Experimental Method,” which had great impact on the academy members), whose motto was “At No Man’s Word.” In other words, The Royal Academy eschewed eminence-based science and relied on experimental (empirical) evidence. (The Academy kept a book wherein all the witnesses of an experimental demonstration signed their names.)

            Boyle’s life overlapped with Galileo’s, so Galileo likely had an influence on Boyle. (I checked the book’s appendix and there were some entries about Boyle’s perception of Galileo.)

            Oh, I remember reading that Boyle felt that studying nature was his divine calling.

            Robert Hooke worked for Boyle and did a lot of the actual experiments credited to Boyle, I believe. Hooke was more of a scientific equal, although he was an employee.

            “God is a problem” because that is merely an extraneous gloss to the general discussion. In other words, the statement is irrelevant and is only due to someone’s temporary feelings. No need to even address it.

            But the question of the origins of science in the west is an interesting question. It has kept going, although it is under attack from academic & governmental medical authoritarians.. Presumably, they are not motivated by Christian beliefs, demonstrating that repression of science isn’t limited to Christian institutions, but is a general problem of the human condition.

          God has as much to do with organised religion as health has with ‘healthcare’.
          That is to say the mindset and organisation itself becomes an institutional ego or usurpation of original function to a narrative correctness that rues and filters living thought and action.
          Truth is not edited or corrupted by lies and deceit.
          Our awareness of truth can be.
          If you realise the import of this you can know truth is with you and not merely as a religious, ideological or conceptual construct. The words or lack of words are not the issue.
          If we invest in self-illusion, then the revealing of truth that heals, Sense in terms of true Reason is true understanding of truth made clear, obvious or recognisable. How many scientific studies are written with a view to transparency and accountability? (Or any other clique of insiders).

          A lot of what is happening is revealing what has been running beneath unseen throughout our lives, but at first as if a few fronting actors actually have the power to suddenly act in such ways and be obeyed. This is a systemic contraction by those who are its core ‘stakeholders’ in terms of money and influence.

            “One Galileo at a time…”. The thing is, the geocentric view was, at that time, supported by scientific observation. Galileo, in arguing for the heliocentric view, was using his intuition rather than firm evidence, which is something he had in common with the advocates of masks as a reasonable NPI. End of.

I never would have believed we would see so much censorship in the so-called free, democratic countries of the Western world.

It draws me to tears with the feeling of hopelessness. I’ve worked in the clinical research industry (stats) and now work in the NHS and have mixed feelings about both now. Many people around me do not believe this is going on and are rather unkind when I express my thoughts. They are so sure that the pharma companies, the government and the NHS would never lie or twist the truth. Interestingly, pre Covid, when investigations were carried out due to chest pains I had been suffering from showed that I had low VitD levels it was suggested that I take VitD supplements as it was thought useful for the prevention of respiratory infections. Keep up the excellent work, Malcolm, we appreciate all that you do.

      Dr Mengele and others were tried at Nuremberg for pursuing scientific inquiry with absolutely no concern for ethics or for the health (and lives) of their unwilling experimental subjects.

      I see something very similar going on today with those “vaccines” (which aren’t).

          David, I earned a degree in history from Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1969. I spent a good deal of the previous 8 years, and quite a lot of time since, studying the Third Reich and the surrounding history – without which the topic of the Nazis makes absolutely no sense.

          If there is a difference, it is that Dr Mengele’s victims were physically compelled to undergo his expriments. As he said, “Hier gibt as kein ‘warum'” (“Here there is no ‘why'”).

          Today, ordinary people are conned and fooled into walking voluntarily into the experiments – in which they are injected with substances the first trials of which may be complete in a few years from now.

          How many victims succumbed to Dr Mengele and his Japanese opposite numbers? Thousands. Today, there may be tens or hundreds of millions of victims. Does it make it any better that they believed they were safe, and doing the right thing? Or does that make it worse?

          1. barovsky

            Hmmm… I think there are two, fundamental differences between Mengele’s ‘experiments’ and the rollout of effectively untested ‘vaccines’.

            1. As you said, Mengele’s victims had no choice whatsoever! It was succumb of ‘go up the chimney’;
            2. Today, the ‘choice’ is moderated by social pressure to succumb instead, eg, last year’s NHS TV ad that told us if we don’t agree to ‘non-pharmaceutical interventions’, we’ll kill our grandmothers!

            I think also, the ‘choice’ is further ‘moderated’ by the idea that’s been promulgated by the ‘Nudge Unit’ that it’s our ‘social’ duty to conform and get the jab, in order to get things back to ‘normal’. Powerful stuff that the behavioural psychologists have been given a free hand by the state, to use on us! The upshot is, we gave the state ‘our permission’ to abrogate our civil rights for the ‘greater good. Goebbels would have been jealous!

          2. David

            I understand – The whole thing is the ‘experimental’ label. Lots of experimentation was done, up to and including Stage 3 (as I’m sure you know) and the vaccine was approved under emergency use authorization (EUA) by the EMA/FDA etc. When the EMA/FDA gives full approval for the vaccine, will you be first in line for the now approved shot? Somehow, I don’t think so.

            There are very few time when the ‘Nazi’ label makes sense, and this is not it. To call the doctors working on this ‘Mengele’ and ‘Nazis’ is both wrong and dangerous, and I would expect a historian (from Trinity College, Cambridge, no less!) to know that. Too much to ask?

          3. Eggs ‘n beer

            I disagree. These people have nothing on Mengele. Ok then, maybe you’re right. Nazi is too polite a term. This from a friend of mine of 25 years.

            “ Eggs, I spoke to my sister this morning she works in a nursing home in Browns Plains she said everyone that has had the jab in the nursing home their feet have gone black and they have died in a time frame of about 1 to 4 weeks”

            Me: “Everyone? Seriously? How many?”

            Him: “Everyone. Seriously. Didn’t ask, hang on”

            And he phoned me five minutes later “100”.

            This is murder. But it won’t get out. A friend, one of only 61 people (apparently) in Oz to suffer thrombocytopenia was told not to tell anyone to prevent vaccine hesitancy. Still not out of the woods, platelet count just dropped dangerously low again three weeks after the crash. AZ.

            It’s a suburb of Brisbane, a sprawling city of c. 2.5m people. I have a cousin in a nursing home there. Seems to be a Mecca for nursing homes! But the media are either tightly controlled or totally on board with “the narrative”. This would never be reported. It’s never reported if a vaccinated person dies of Covid either. They just die. If they’re unvaccinated however, it’s made clear with a sneering tone. Sixteen news cases in Queensland today, and we’re in out tightest lockdown ever. The dempanic meter is having the safety valves screwed down. Test, stay at home, wear masks, social distance, don’t talk to anyone, isolate, quarantine, get vaccinated…… fear fear fear.

    Thankyou Dr K. . a voice of reason amongst a madding crowd . . . the topic has become increasingly difficult to discuss with anyone anymore, for fear of censure, ridicule, and judgement, as a medical professional too, it’s such a delicate tightrope to walk . I’m almost on the edge of giving in to go with the incessant flow . . . but posts like this, no matter how hopeless it feels, re -assure me that I’m not alone in questioning the science. Your posts are incredibly valuable.

    Hi:
    I feel your pain – but may be a bit more optimistic than you. Some comments:

    1 – I regularly read wmbriggs.com – he’s a stats guy whose work on misuse of probability stats (especially p -values) is quite valuable.

    2 – Many years ago a post-grad I knew spent about a year looking at various forms of asthma and ended up writing what I thought was a clear and well researched article whose main claim was that the number of asthma diagnoses tended to go up sharply downwind of new wind power installations. The paper has never been published because it was made very clear to the author that research faculty are expected to bring in national science foundation monies and none would ever be forth coming if this thing saw print. More recently i had lunch with some people from what used to be Canada’s leading geophysics faculty – we discussed climate stuff: see winface.com/node/13 for one outcome. Their funding had been coming mainly from the oil companies, but the unrelenting federal attack on that industry had led to those grants getting smaller and smaller – to the point that they were then doing nationally funded work on the geophysics of urban geography and sharing what used to be their building with town planners.

    3 – while it is true that the political mob is deeply ignorant of science and collectively has little regard for truth or right (e.g. consider the fun the Danish mask study authors had getting published or what happens to law firms representing American constitutional conservatives these days) it is also true that what i call Murphy’s second law (short form: the liklihood that some opinion is wrong increases exponentially with the number of people saying it) has a corollary: truth can’t be surpressed forever.

    A month ago Covid-19 was natural, HCQ was deadly, and the disease was far more dangerous to youth than the vaccine. All of those views are now rapidly disappearing from the uninformed (mainstream) media – and that’s the pattern.

    4 – there is a general pattern at work here: the mob takes over, the tumbrells roll, a few hide their opinions long enough and well enough to survive, and eventually the mob turns on itself and the sane emerge (often a generation or two later, but still!) vindicated.

    5 – or.. do not go quietly into that good night .. etc

    A while ago, I saw a picture of a young woman holding up a handwritten sign at a freedom march. It read ~
    THE REAL CONSPIRACY THEORISTS BELIEVE THAT THE GOVERNMENT CARES ABOUT THEM, THE MEDIA WOULD NEVER MISLEAD OR LIE TO THEM, AND THE PHARMACUETICAL INDUSTRY THAT MAKES BILLIONS FROM SICKNESS WANTS TO CURE THEM.
    Sadly, it makes sense to me.

      Jeannie, that’s an excellent opening if you get called a conspiracy theorist. I would respond with questions. 1) Do you think the government cares about you? 2) do you think the media doesn’t lie? 3) Do you think pharmaceutical companies who make billions from sickness, want to cure you? The answers don’t matter, it will have planted the seeds of doubt.

        AhNotepad, yes I agree, and I’ve engaged in conversations just as you describe ~ the young woman’s thoughtful banner has been well used in that regard, and hopefully seeds have indeed been planted.
        Over this past year, I’ve been shocked to have the slur of conspiracy theorist hurled at me a number of times, often by friends I’ve known for decades, and most of them with the same political views as mine. Yet my opinions re aspects of the pharmaceutical industry have remained unchanged throughout the years.
        My long quest for medical honesty and a ‘do no harm’ approach was previously considered nothing more than a bit quirky, and as someone who was damaged by medical misinformation, they may even have held some sympathy for me. But now I am suddenly a danger to society, and someone who can be vilified with the full support of all those in charge of this debacle. The power of the media knows no bounds.
        Thankfully, I have made some fantastic new friends this year via a local group, who all seem capable of critically thinking things through for themselves, and have proved a great support in these dark times.

    I’ve read the blog-post. And also the comments. It is depressing. And you are largely talking to the converted. As to the “paper which found that being overweight meant having a (slightly) lower risk of death than being of ‘normal’ weight” I question, not because of my diet, but because of the logic. I would even have needed to see the proof had you stated it was a “paper which found that being (slightly) overweight meant having a lower risk of death than being of ‘normal’ weight”. Few, I suspect, would disagree that obesity is a danger to health.

    I suspect the reason you included this snippet was because you enjoy “robust debate”. Obesity, I know you never mentioned it, comes in the category of overweight. The author of the article criticised is entitled to her opinion and perhaps that is what you are saying as well as waving a red-flag at we vegetarian bulls.

    Otherwise I am in agreement. Debate is dead. Not just medical debate. All the universities are shut. The national curriculum discourages questioning. If it did not it would be called the national curricula. Learning by rote might be fine for multiplication tables (no longer needed because that practice has probably been superseded by calculators) but it was those who questioned the dogma, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton whose theses changed opinion.

    Today the lights are out all over the world. People’s rote opinions are propagated by the corporate-owned mainstream media. They want people’s lights to go out. There is no danger of enlightening others when people live in darkness. The one-eyed controllers rule in the land of the blind.

      Why don’t you read the relevant part of DD? Page 121. With references. Obese (BMI 30-35) people have a (statistically insignificant) longer life span than normal weight (BMI 18.5-25) people. Overweights win handsomely, underweights lose. Lower lifespan than the fatties >35 BMI.

        Sorry, I don’t have a copy. Perhaps I ought.

        Looking at your figures that seems to leave out a whole chunk of people from 26-30 BMI (which I have just about entered). And obese tends to leave out the chronically obese, those above 35 BMI which might tip the balance somewhat. But I’m just speculating since it is not an area of which I have taken much interest.

      The problem with overweight is it may be a symptom rather than the cause of health difficulties. It’s frequently put down to gluttony and sloth, but how does that arise if it is the case? Have a listen to https://youtu.be/Yp8uyOzjAR4, where Stephanie Seneff discusses the role of glyphosate.

    By coincidence, I had just been reading about Christopher Daniel Duntsch, an American neurosurgeon who was SO inept he critically injured 33 out of 38 patients in only two years, finally being tried and jailed for it more than a year after he was struck off. During the time he was butchering people – and he WAS butchering them, possibly deliberately – he went from hospital to hospital and not ONE hospital saw fit to report him because they didn’t ‘have’ to. Instead they just got rid of him and let him go to another hospital to butcher someone else. It was only fellow surgeons pursuing him and pushing for him to be prosecuted that finally made a hospital report him. And this is not uncommon with (criminal) doctors and nurses as, ironically, Wikipedia will testify.

    I find it truly bizarre that hospitals, boards and even other doctors will go to great lengths to cover up or ignore doctors who kill people yet all a doctor has to do to bring the wrath of God down on him/herself is say something that contradicts current medical ideology. Basically, they are telling the public that they will protect any medical professional who mutilates or kills people but anyone who dares to disagree with their thinking is an immoral charlatan who MUST be struck off. And they wonder why people don’t trust Western medicine…

    You can’t get knowledge without conversation and debate, and you can’t get conversation and debate without freedom of expression.

    As others have stated:
    Follow the Money.
    But it is more than that: Their money comes before your Health.
    Excepting your local medical advisor who knows you personally and calls you by your name – you, as a consumer of medical support, are just a cash machine – nobody cares for your health.

    Yet Good Health is Normal. (if that were not true God’s human “experiment” would have died eons ago).
    However, in my experience and from much reading, [There are many exceptions to the following particularly by medical support that calls you by your name and dedicated researchers – we know them as we reference them frequently in this blog] the focus by a lot of medical support is about applying medicines or other interventions to fix the condition with little attention to establishing Good Health (which prevents repeats: consider that the western world is largely overweight or obese).

    Consider this: we know that a strong immune system is the first line defence against any and all infections. How much and how often have we been informed educated by the medical authorities around the world how to and the importance of improving our immune system. IMO seldom to minimal and sometimes never. Yet our good Dr emphasises some of these above and has done so for many blogs back.

    Thank you.

    Scorbutic, not scrobutic. Same derivation as scurvy, which is the same disease. It’s called ascorbic acid because it takes you away from being scorbutic.

    I get my D from iHerb. California GOLD Nutrition brand, 90 softgels at 5,000iu for a couple of quid. One every two or three days in summer, a bit more in winter. I live in sunny Queensland so get plenty from the sun anyway BUT:

    As you get older, your D levels drop for some reason. As discussed previously in these blogs, it doesn’t matter one iota how good your immune system is, the T cells NEED vitamin D to produce the response to the virus. A brilliant immune system but no D is like a Ferrari without petrol. And older people, who have less D, comprise 97% of the dead.

    It isn’t a word yet, but the governments are carrying out ageicide against their populations. That’s one way of reducing the cost of pensions and the NHS I suppose.

      What is the impact of age on 1) vitamin D production in the skin and 2) vitamin D uptake from diet?

      Switching over to zinc…

      Zinc levels can be impacted by a diet high in cadmium, which you find in Tilapia and cod.

      “The most likely source of cadmium toxicity in humans is contaminated foods (ATSDR 2008). People who regularly consume shellfish and fish organ meats (liver and kidney) may have increased cadmium exposure (ATSDR 2008).”

      Click to access L2010CadmiumLR122010.pdf

      The human body doesn’t easily clear cadmium, which can lead to chronic cadmium poisoning and associated zinc deficiency. This will be an increased problem as people age and consume cadmium in foods. I’ve read of treatments that will clear cadmium.

    Dear Dr. Kendrick, I am so pleased that `I receive your emails, its like reading some of my own thoughts. I am 79 and live in a retirement development (there is so much more to this story but this is not the time or the place) I am the only one here as far as I know who has not had their 2 jabs(I am not an antivaxxer but am just for the flu and this jab) and having heard about shedding by those who have had them I am a bit worried as I don’t know what dangers it may present to me. I was in very very close contact with my nephew at my brothers funeral in January and two days later he had covid symptoms and tested positive, I was tested and it was negative. This is one of the reasons I don’t believe all that we are hearing about it and think we are being brain washed. I take 1000mg of both vit D and C and have for a long long time and really believe that they do help, but is this dose enough as my vit D level tend to be low and I have to take it all the time. Your emails make me feel as if I am not alone and that I can continue to say no to something I think in the end will do more harm than good, but the pressure is on for me to have the jab and I must admit I am a little scared it will be forced on me.

      Daphne, it won’t be forced on you if you just maintain your refusal. If others want to be part of the experiment it is up to them, though “experiment” is a rather grandiose term for attempted genocide. For vitamin D I take about 10,000iu a day, and about 10g of vitamin C. https://youtu.be/W5Bgdqsorg0 Might be worth watching to understand the dose required. It changes according to your circumstances. If you are well, not so much. If you are ill, maybe a lot, if you are very ill, a hell of a lot.

Deaths will be documented in nations duped by the “Pharmascam” and history will prove you right. Won’t change quick or much.

    The lamps are not just going out all over Europe. They are going out, all over the world.

    The lights are going out… literally…. this is the only reason I can imagine might be behind this situation …

    But what’s most striking is that new discoveries aren’t even close to keeping pace with the loss of conventional resources. According to Rystad, the current resource replacement ratio for conventional resources is only 16 percent. In other words, only one barrel out of every six consumed is being replaced with new resources.

    Not that I think stopping ‘this’ is in our interests…

    But realistically… the only way that anyone could throw a wrench into the wheelworks would be if say the majority of the NHS doctors and nurses were to refuse to vaccinate … or even better walked off the job (for a few days to start… then a week… then longer if necessary — ER excluded).

    Clearly that is not going to happen because there appear to be many in the profession who have embraced CovIDIOCY… or who don’t care and just want to get paid to play.

    But also if anyone were to try to organize something like this …. I have zero doubt … the organizers would be designated as terrorists and arrested… and the vast majority (who are CovIDIOTS) would fully support these arrests.

    The military could turn the tables… but those chaps, like police, generally do what they are told.

    Anyway according to Bossche’s latest … it’s too late…. the needle is in .. the damage done

    …..The final nail….. My wife (an 81 year old generally fit lady) was recently sent to a & e by her g.p. The reason: a rapid heart rate.  She was eventually kept in for a week with a heart “flutter”  In the middle of her stay she was being given her usual drugs but detected a change and asked about a couple.  One was aspirin for blood thinning and another was a statin.  Note at this point that we have refused statins after following Dr Kendrick for years and she already has a blood thinning drug as part of her daily treatment. She was told by the nurse (nursing assistant?) that this was the “protocol” (what ever that means) and she should take the meds.  She was really in no state to argue the point and so complied. Two days later she came down with the worst diarrhea she had ever experienced.  She stopped the statins, aspirin and one other drug as soon as she got home.

    That was three weeks ago and she has only just recovered.  Statins — the only change that was present.  At a later visit to see a cardiologist (same hospital) she was told that she  should not be given statins, they are not approved for people over 80 years and they would not improve her condition.

    I first became interest in the side effects of our drugs regime because of persistent and worsening eczema.  Of eight or so drugs to treat high blood pressure, gout and the heart rate five had “unusual” side effects which might cause skin irritation.  My belief is that combined the effect is likely to be much worse.  The consultant in the hospital asked to have a  copy of my spread sheet and I think the g.p might be listening.  Two of the drugs have been changed as a result and our eczema is improved. Message: read the bits of paper that come in the box and do not beleive the frequencies attributed to the drugs!

      I think “the protocol” is a rigid procedure used by medical staff to avoid thought, evade responsibility, and defend their inept actions.

      Complying with the protocol should be seen as exactly the same as “only following orders”.

    A very sobering article Malcolm. We are all being worn down by the propaganda we are being fed and the shutting down of free speech. I am hopeful the change of Health Minister will be just what we need in the UK!! Can I urge you to read Laura Dodsworth book – A state of fear. As the title suggests she is interested in the fear that has been induced in the public since January 2020. I found it very enlightening (especially the fact that she claims a lot of psychologists are more neurotic than average people!)

    A GP who resigned his ‘job for life’ as a partner with a Hampshire practice because of his doubts about Covid-19 vaccines has been suspended by NHS England for questioning coronavirus protocol.

    Dr Sam White received a letter on Friday informing him that he was suspended with immediate effect, which stops him practising as a doctor within the NHS. On Saturday he was telephoned by a senior clinical adviser to NHS England, who condescendingly called him ‘poppet’.

    In a soothing manner, she told him she was concerned for his welfare. ‘I’m worried about whether you’re well,’ she said, the undercurrent of the conversation being the suggestion that Dr White is suffering mental health issues.

    In fact, Dr White has never felt saner even though he has pressed the nuclear button on his professional life. The two main reasons for detonation involved the Covid-19 vaccine roll out, an initiative that he fundamentally disagrees with because vaccines are not needed if there’s an effective treatment; and the mandatory wearing of masks, a theme introduced by psychologists not scientists, which Stanford University research shows is nothing more than theatre.

    What Dr Kendrick has outlined here is also running riot within the climate change scientific world — groupthink, ridiculing and denunciation of skeptical voices; an influence-hungry top-down cartel of advocates insisting that ‘the science’ is settled. And not only that, that they have the drastic cure, which must be administered now just as we say.

      Although each human being is equipped with a brain that functions more or less well, many of us much prefer to shut it down and follow their ape instincts.

      1. Comply with the troop’s behaviour at all costs. Apes perceived as alien tend to be killed.
      2. Seek and support a strong leader – be he or she ever so stupid, ignorant, or demonstrably wrong. Without a leader the troop are all likely to die.

    Interesting story on homocysteine, followed up your link to the NYT McCully article, which was sort of a long read. Then tried to find the current status on homocysteine. Seems the link is acknowledged these days but as one of many causes. Is there support for it being the underlying cause that starts everything else?

      Hi, Eric,

      Here’s a 1997 interview with McCully after his “resurrection” (evidently heretics can make comebacks). He seemed to think of cholesterol and homocysteine as separate processes behind CVD.

      https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/1997/11/cover97

      Also, Dr Kendrick likes to mention sickle cell disease as a distinct and colossal contributor to CVD. Here’s a paper that notes homocysteine is elevated in sickle cell disease, but so is folate and B12. McCully thinks, or at least thought, that low folate and B12 contributed to high homocysteine.

      So, homocysteine and sickle cell disease, connection? Beats me, of course.

    Oh Dr Kendrick you both give me hope and depress me at the same time!

    You give me hope that the minority of people such as yourself may by some miracle prevail in a world that to quote you “has gone stark raving bonkers”. But at the same time you depress me by showing what a dreadful pit medical research and science in general have fallen into.

    Many, many years ago I was given (yes education was free in that distant past) a schooling that taught me not only to learn “facts” but also to think and reason. I went on to do a science degree where that process of reasoning and challenging beliefs was reinforced. Basically, I was taught to recognise bull shit without having to put my foot in it and wallow around. When did our education system go so wrong that it now turns out people unable to think for themselves?

    The world is indeed being swept by a deadly pandemic, but it is not Covid it is something infinitely worse, something that turns brains to mush.

    I have seen more rational thinking and leadership ability from a headless chicken running around a farmyard than has been shown by the UK government, and indeed by most supposedly democratic governments around the world.

    A forecast of the progress of Covid that was as accurate, if not more accurate, than those produced by the “data modellers” would have been obtained by killing a chicken and studying its entrails. For the vegans amongst us I’d recommend Mystic Meg and her tea leaves. Both options would have been considerably more cost effective as well.

    Then how to best tackle Covid? Well we have been given innumerable masterclasses in how to take actions based at best on nothing more than “belief”. Didn’t the ancient Aztecs believe that drugging a young man, cutting open his chest and ripping out his beating heart would ensure good harvests? And most of their population was persuaded even without the benefit of social media!

    You risk your career and livelihood by trying to bring sense into a mad world. Thank you.

    Kindest regards,

    Brilliant blog as usual and one that has really hit a nerve! But what do we do? We know that something is terribly wrong but do we just sit back and let it all happen? Do we just quietly hope to influence who we can and that is it? Or do we create an alternative? I don’t know what that alternative is but I think it has to involve buying up lots of land and creating our own sane country!

    Scientific medical research going from bad to worse. Covid has presented fantastic opportunities for the junk science to increase, along with the stupendous profits. This is going to make the profits generated by the most profitable meds to date look like loose change in someone’s pocket. The best thing anyone who has a serious and/or ongoing medical condition, or a loved one who has, is do some research themselves and ask questions. Thank you for this very timely reminder, Malcolm.

    Thanks for the post Malcolm. Nothing has shocked or depressed me with regards covid-19 yet. Forty years ago I had a number of unconnected life experiences that led me to realise that there is a massive disconnect between what is happening around our world and how governments and the media either suppress or conveniently ignore important events in the evolution of the human race and our relationship to our planet. Thirty years ago, around one important global event, I realised that the UK government and all of the TV news stations and newspapers in the UK were treating the general public as if they had the cognitive ability of a ten year old. That was when I stopped paying attention to the media and started to read a lot. I still pay little attention to the TV news stations and newspapers in the UK and continue to read a lot. What I have seen unfold over the last eighteen months is unprecedented levels of gross scientific misconduct, suppression and censorship. I recently watched the long video interview below Dr Robert Malone as he is a data driven scientist and in my view correctly conservative with his current views until more data becomes available and is properly analysed. The discussion of data before the interview with Dr Malone is absolutely diabolical. However, with regards the discussion of Public Health England’s data there is a link to a counter argument below too that I was able to find and I thought was only fair to include. For those that want to skip to the interview with Dr Malone then proceed to the fifty second minute in the video:

            I know enough that there is never almost never ‘one inventor’.
            As Sasha says – Not even Malone says that he invented mRNA vaccines. Interesting that Malone contacted the website to provide them with patents. Do you think the invented the mRNA vaccine?

          3. David

            All the options have occurred to me – has it occurred to you that they are right? Or that Malone is wrong? Should having the Weinstein/Carlson stamp of approval make any difference?
            By the way, does Malone have an issue with the use of mRNA in general or with the spike protein? What does he say about the use of other vaccine technologies? Is he a supporter of the protein based Novavax vaccine (NVX-CoV2373)?
            It would be interesting to see Malone’s research backing up his statements.

    I can see why the NHS would try to maintain unified messaging, but is also a very centralized system. Here in Germany, with our famously distributed responsibilites, the STIKO (Federal advisory board for recommended vaccinations) still does not recommend vaccination for 12 – 17 year olds without comorbidities. When Karl Lauterbach, a former virologist turned a very vocal MP, started pushing for chaning this recommendation, the national association of pediatrists defended the STIKO. When we asked our pediatrist about vaccinating our teens in light of the looming delta variant and the new body of data from the US, she recommended waiting until fall and waiting for the STIKO to change its recommendation.

    At the same time, Christian Drosten of Charité in Berlin, who came up with the first functioning PCR test, has been one of the most prominent advisors to the government and started an immensely popular Coronavirus podcast, is now acknowleding that we don’t really know how delta will play out here and with sufficient vaccinations and natural immunity, may end up being a lab-epidemic (his words, not mine).

    As for sanctioning individual physicians, the local medical boards (there are several per state) ar famously loath to clamp down even on bad actors (and here I mean malpractice, untruthful advertising and unlawful billing), so anyone speaking up against the mainstream is safe unless they are caught writing mask exemptions without ever having seen or talked to the patients, and even that so far amounts to a slap on the wrist.

    So why is it we are not seeing any serious opposition from physicians and other scientists to the mask, distancing, partial lockdown and vaccination program if this is all an evil plot? Mind you, we have plenty of colorful people in telegram and youtube channels and public protests and a few attention starved self proclaimed experts in national TV talk shows. There are even a few physicians among these, but none that I would consider serious and rational (and I do consider Malcolm both serious and rational – but then he wasn’t into preaching homeopathy and earth rays before Covid conveniently came along).

    Lastly, to cover the money angle, yes, vaccination companies stand to earn big time once the current contracts run out. But what is in it for governments? They are paying for the lockdowns, paying for the vaccines, paying for sending vaccines abroad and have their hands full securing enough vaccines and convincing people to get vaccinated. Why would they go through this when they have neither money nor control to gain?

        The way it works in the US is that the lobbyists’ companies write laws and then give donations to political campaigns in order to garner support. The biggest companies can afford the fixed costs of regulation, while the medium-size companies have a larger burden as a percent of revenue. Laws are often aimed at the medium-sized companies.

        I am quite sure that pharma and the CDC are very much linked at the hip, financially speaking. Fauci is making money hand over fist from his patents which are used in making vaccines.

          I recently listened to an NPR interview with a journalist who investigated the whole Oxycontin saga, Purdue Pharma, and the Sackler family. According to him, the Sacklers, anticipating that Purdue will eventually be bankrupted by the states’ lawsuits, withdrew about 10 billion dollars from the company’s accounts and then successfully lobbied the courts to prevent states’ attorney generals from going after them personally.

          So what we have now is Oxycontin epidemic, about 500,000 dead from overdoses, probably millions addicted, a bankrupt company that used to make billions, and a family that gets to keep a large portion of those billions. Isn’t it a great system?

          Not sure how much Fauci makes from his patents or if he makes anything extra from Covid vaccines. Probably not nothing at all if the situation for US government employees is the same as it for employees in privatebenterprise. I work a lot with a US tech company, and their inventors literally get $1 for each application. I guess he is convinced of the job he is doing – else he would have retired long ago.

            Eric: Patent-holders who are U.S. federal employees are allowed to receive $150,000 per year in royalties from the licensees of their inventions created in U.S. labs funded by U.S. taxpayers. Two of the Gardasil inventors, employees of NIH, receive this sum each and every year. As for Fauci, I don’t know that he has any patents in his name. After all, he is neither a doctor nor a scientist, but a mere bureaucrat. He is the highest-paid employee in the federal government.

          3. Gary Ogden

            Sasha: Yes, he has an MD. But not all of those with MD’s are doctors. In my view, a doctor is one who treats patients or does research or both. Fauci is an administrator, directing a very large federal agency, and has been doing it 37 years. Running an agency, or most organizations, for that matter, is all politics (in the sense of expedient, crafty, unscrupulous, cunning, artful, and sometimes wise and sagacious). I even doubt he spends much time reading the scientific literature, as all conscientious scientists, including citizen scientists such as us, do.

      Big pharma probably takes a back set to lobbying by finance and oil. What are finance and oil to gain from lockdowns or vaccines?

      Financing laws for election campaigns are vastly different between the US and most European countries, and as a result, big pharma has a harder stand here. Just look at prices of medications.

      And even in the US, where most politicians are in someone’s pocket, they still need to win elections (maybe after gaming the system a little), so they will commit to unpopular agendas only when there is a real need.

      What we have seen is that lockdowns, mask mandates, limits on gatherings and potential vaccine mandates are not loved anywhere. Most countries have at one time or another tried to avoid tightening restrictions or tried to relax them prematurely, which did not end well in most cases. We have also seen herd immunity not to happen when it was predicted.

      So I’d argue that there are special interests and that those in charge are stumbling, but I don’t really see an evil plot.

        I doubt that pharma lobbying is less than that of oil/gas or finance. There’s also lobbying, at least in the States, by health insurance companies, hospital trade groups, pharmacy managers, and others involved in US healthcare system. Which, by the way, is around 1.8 trillion dollars a year. Which makes it the largest business in the history of humanity. Warren Buffett recently described it as a “great tapeworm on the US economy”. It would logically follow that the largest sector of the economy accounts for the most money being injected into the political system.

    I am a retired family physician and seen the ethics in medicine deteriorate progressively over the years. Medicine as part of science is supposed to be about a truth and for the benefit of patients. This has changed as more and more medical scientists try to produce more and more papers. However it is now driven by the profit for big pharma and the food industry that has to add more processes to food in order to add value, and push up profits and costs to the consumers, as with medicines produced.
    Keep up your head and hold it high!!
    I did not know about all the costs involved in producing a paper. Your exposé is revealing.
    I am staggered as to how few food products there are that are not processed and have additives in them. The average supermarket only has a tiny number of shelves with natural food.

    Very thought provoking article Dr K. I wonder whether we have over-medicalised life generally and this is the result. There is a notion nowadays that everything can be cured with a medicine and those things that can’t be, must be researched and researched until some kind of medical cure can be found. All the while many, many people live less healthy lives than they ever did previously and therefore ‘need’ more and more pharmaceutical interventions!

    We have increasingly sophisticated means of communicating with psychological nudges, not just from Governments but various commercial sectors, not to mention hugely influential and powerful media moguls.

    And, as I always say, critical thinking is not encouraged, let alone taught at schools. My two children have recently finished their journey through the secondary education system and at no point was any critical thinking welcome. They had to learn the content of the curriculum, no more, no less and the marking systems for GCSE’s and A levels is so prescriptive now, that there is very little room for any kind of freedom of thought. You have to answer exactly how the examiners want you to in order to maximise points and therefore grades.

    I think we now have a deadly combination of over-medicalisation, unhealthy lifestyles, immortal expectations and an unwillingness to accept criticism of anything – be that medical research, Government policy, education systems, commercial organisations and so on. Oh and I forgot ‘infantalisation’!!!!! There is a tendency to treat everyone like a gormless idiot or tiny child and sadly some medical professionals are very guilty of this. God forbid that you should have made an attempt to understand a condition you suffer from and question a prescribed medicine or proposed course of treatment that directly affects your own body. ( I do appreciate that this is not the case for all medics, and to them I am grateful.)

    Anyhow, this is a long winded way of saying I hear your frustration, disappointment and anger and share it.

      Exactly, Nigella.

      Our ancestors (and hence we) evolved to survive in difficult surroundings. Two or three millions years ago they came down from the trees, driven by – yes! – climate change. Surviving and finding food on the ground was a very different matter from up in the trees; hence the big brain, upright carriage, and ability to walk and run efficiently. Presently they domesticated fire and dogs, and began to eat principally meat and tubers. Not steak, though – the whole animal, guts, fat and all.

      What has changed since? They began eating grains and settled down in towns and villages. As Yuval Noah Harari puts it in “Sapiens”, “In those areas where human remains span the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to farmers, anthropologists have reported that both nutrition and health declined, rather than improved, with the adoption of agriculture”. It was this observation that led Jared Diamond to describe agriculture as ‘the worst mistake in the history of the human race’. Harari also remarks that, “We did not domesticate wheat. It domesticated us. The word ‘domesticate’ comes from the Latin domus, which means ‘house’. Who’s the one living in a house? Not the wheat. It’s the Sapiens”.

      Then science and modern medicine were invented, and people started to think of their bodies as like TV sets or cars – if any part broke, they wanted it repaired or replaced. They forgot that the primary responsibility for a person’s health is that person and their family.

      Ninety years ago, Dr Weston A. Price pointed out many of the deficiencies in the “civilised” life style – as did many other investigators of “primitive” peoples.

      1. Bad diet: grains, far too much refined sugar, vegetable and seed oils, not enough meat, fish and animal fat.

      2. Deficiencies of vitamins and minerals; hard to avoid due to industrial farming which exhausts the soil.

      3. Lack of exercise. The missing factor in almost all modern diets is energy expenditure. Our ancestors probably walked and ran at least 20 miles every day, as well as climbing, hunting, chopping wood, hauling water, etc. Hardly anyone nowadays does enough physical work – resulting in a chronic excess of calories eaten over calories expended. If they do restrict what they eat to balance the work they do, they become malnourished.

      4. Lack of sleep. Humans need (on average) at least eight hours per night – more for children and teenagers, and not necessarily less for the old. It should be peaceful and undisturbed – something hard to achieve nowadays.

      5. Pollution and drugs (legal and illegal). It is impossible to avoid ingesting a thousand potentially toxic substances, not to mention tobacco smoke and various farming chemicals. When people feel ill (unsurprisingly) they are often prescribed drugs that have serious harmful side effects.

      6. Aimlessness and demoralisation. In the primitive life, priorities are stark and simple. Stay safe, get enough to drink and eat, be a member in good standing of a group for protection and social coherence, have children and raise them. That’s about it. Today it’s hard to know what matters and what doesn’t, and people become very stressed and upset. Employment (necessary for most) seems almost designed specifically to maximise stress.

        PK A coherent piece. Do you think animal fat is preferable to, say the fat from avocados or coconut oil ?
        Also some might suggest that the explosion in world population coincided with agriculture development.

          I’m not sure whether animal fat is better in any way than avocado or coconut. The only possible difference might be if animal fats contain vitamins, etc. not found in avocado or coconut. There is an old idea about diet: since other mammals contain all the nutrients they need, why not get all the nutrients we need simply by eating the other animals?

          I think it is obvious that the population explosion began with the start of farming. Hunter gatherers are forced to limit their population, and they do so quite strictly – for example by exposing excess new-born babies to die. (This was normal practice even in classical Athens). Human population probably remained quite stable for a million years.

          Then, for whatever reason, people settled down and began farming. As Yuval Noah Hariri explains in “Sapiens”, runaway positive feedback immediately commenced. Grains and vegetables are an incomplete diet, so chronic deficiencies would have developed, making people perpetually hungry. Often, harvests would fail resulting in terrible famines. Last and worst, apart from a small force of soldiers and a few nobles, everyone would have to work all the hours they could simply to grow enough food. So women would have lots of children to increase the farm labour force – which increased the need for food. Soon wars began for land, and the remaining hunter-gatherers were exterminated as the farmers needed their land.

          And here we are.

    June 29, 2021 In a quick read of the Jariwalla and Harakeh, 1996, publication that you cite above, Dr. Kendrick, I noted, on pp. 219-220:
    “In cases of severe viral illnesses such as infectious mononucleosis or pneumonia, the bowel-tolerance doses were found to approach 200 g per day.” (Cathcart, 1981)
    That’s a lot of C. I have read that mega-doses of C are given intravenously to hospital treatment of severe burns in at least one U.S. hospital. Steve Fowkes, in a YouTube talk, covered mega-doses, based on bowel-tolerance, an order of magnitude lower.

    The remarks c. pp. 219-220. in Jariwalla and Harakeh, 1996, which Dr. Kendrick links to, regarding bowel-tolerance dosing of Vitamin C, are well worth reading.

    Thanks again, Dr. Kendrick.

    Thank you so much, Dr Kendrick. I fear you are right, but thank you for speaking truth anyway.

    We are sharing truth with others who will listen. Drip by drip is the key as too much information induces terror and cognitive dissonance (or something!) and people close down.

    It’s international and the WEF, UN, WHO, Pharma, Gates Foundation, banking, big business and I think nearly all our leaders are involved. Never trust anyone who says, “Build Back Better”! In addition to what’s been mentioned above, I think there’s a deliberate attempt to crash economies to establish a global digital currency. The money “printing” in the USA is extraordinary.

    I’m not sure the world has even seen deceit on this scale before; a powerful evil is at work. As a Christian, I’m wondering if Jesus is coming back soon, and I’m trying to gain strength from this. But these are scary times. Most of the church is asleep I’m sad to say – too trusting of our fellow humans!

      Apparently one of the things the UK is good at is selling intellectual information in many forms. We have not only followed our behavioural psychologists as they have revved up the fear to ensure compliance in the UK but we sell these services overseas. Behavioural psychologists are only interested in changing behaviour. They certainly got 10/10 for doing that! Unfortunately it would appear they have overstepped the psychology ethics guidelines……! Using behavioural psychology in governments it would appear, is nothing new, we are just puppets dancing to their tune when we listen to the press, the news, social media. I am not letting the pharma companies off the hook or the great reset etc but I think we need to approach what is happening logically and understand how all parts are playing into the situation. As I said in an earlier post read Laura Dodsworths -the state of fear. It helped me get perspective and realise we are not in end times. Just times to reassess who and what we want for the future! Personally I do not want manipulation, coercion or anything similar. I no longer listen or read mainstream news!

    The only way to get the world out of this mess is for people, normal people like me, to start reading the old literature (Enders, Jenner, for example) carefully and begin to understand the folly of the infectious myth. Germ theory has actually never been proven. Read Rosenau and his experiments unable to show infectivity of Spanish Flu back in 1918. My mind was blown in 2020, so much supposition, correlation stated as causation, “infectivity” “proved” of polio by boring a hole in a monkey’s skull and pouring in the emulsified spinal and brain tissue of a child said to have died from this contagious disease. Guess what? The monkey died, from the polio virus!! Read of Bechamp and his rivalry with Pasteur. Terrain vs Germ theory. If Germ theory were true, we’d all be dead. Every plague and outbreak has a plausible reason to have occured w/o needing a virus/bacteria/germ. Polio and DDT, for one. Pollution and toxins (from govts. and large, powerful corporations) are responsible for so many deaths that are blamed on “germs” of some sort. By the time vaccines came on the market deaths had greatly fallen for so many diseases simply due to public sanitation, improved living conditions, better nutrition. If we don’t come to grips with the fact that we have been lied to and manipulated for hundreds of years, the powers-that-be will continue to use the fear of invisible enemies to control us, kill us, profit from us. My hope is the over-the-top lies and nonsense of this current scam and blatant contradictions are now so great, many will come to realize this farce.

      My line of thought is that the great advances in health, where they happened in the World, came from:
      1. Safe water. Aqueducts had been used for millennia but chlorination started a healthier age.
      2. Wide streets that the Sun could sterilise. Houses with larger windows for light and for air renewal. Cats to kill mice.
      3. Sewage control through a net of underground drains.
      4. Better nutrition. Remember Pasteurized Milk.
      And so on. Doctors or antibiotics played a minor role.

    I totally understand the despair and frustration you have expressed in this article. We have all been there at one point, or another. Each autumn I collect a few acorns, conkers and sycamore seeds on my walks and plant them in pots. I am usually rewarded with healthy saplings the following year which will be planted for future generations. I know that eventually these saplings will (if they avoid disease and fauna and vandals) emerge as fine spreading trees with all they offer to the environment.
    Dare I suggest, that even when you despair of peoples avoidance, or ignorance of the truth, you take consolation in the fact that you are planting the seeds of truth.
    I will not live to see my saplings as mature trees just as you may not live to see your truths finally dawn on others.

    As an ex doctor … and someone who has thus far chosen not to have the vaccine .. I agree with every word in this piece and I commend the author for shedding such clarity on the research quality /data/conclusions conundrum. I think it has immense bearing on how Covid has been handled.

    My feeling from the start of Covid is that whilst it can be fatal and damaging to vulnerable groups… as indeed normal flu can be (in a bad year 70,000 deaths attributed) ….. for well nourished , normal BMI and no health problems the Covid illness can range from a nasty bout of flu like illness through to no symptoms at all.

    Should that latter group have the vaccine?
    I think that’s the wrong question
    Should they have detailed information in terms they can understand in order to make the right choice for them? Yes.
    But… & here’s the rub… the NHS cannot ( or will not?) give 30 + million people a personal consultation to ensure informed consent.

    Yet without informed consent .. early warning signs that a serious reaction is underway are missed. The young mother who had a tennis ball sized bruise days before she died from a cerebral thrombosis … would under the normal circumstance of a clinical trial .. be well primed to look for odd symptoms and well followed up/ monitored.

    I don’t doubt the presence of long Covid in some people . However many viruses give ongoing symptoms .. it may be worse with Covid but why some get this and some do not is something to be investigated . It is not in my view a reason to take an unlicensed drug. A public health doctor might well have a different view and that’s ok.. we need debate.

    The bias I perceive is from multiple fronts ….
    The researchers want their vaccine to save humanity
    The pharma firms want everyone to need their vaccine
    The government either wants to cover up/ justify their knee jerk responses or they want to be seen as saving lives . And appear to be running a free speech quashing system.
    The populous ( the vast majority of whom would not understand what messenger RNA really did if you spent 30 minutes explaining it… not their fault… even A level biology students might struggle… oh and how many of the cabinet have biology A level ? … I think possibly none) have been fed scary and manipulated then media filtered ( also by people who do not have a biology A level and who are after a ‘story’ ) statistics. As a result of all this mass brainwashing has occurred with wildly inaccurate or skewed data to the point where even people I count as friends and who know me well have vehemently castigated me … for being informed and choosing NOT to have an unlicensed drug injected into my body. My choice my body I say …but no … I’m ‘not protecting them… others’ when the reality is they are now more of a danger to me . And there is more than a hint of desperation amongst friends that life must return to normal and that the vaccine will afford this. I think that too is a questionable conclusion.

    Right from the start I picked up on not joined up thinking’ in the rhetoric and saw discrepancies in the information being fed to us all. So .. right from the start I delved a little deeper . Outcome ? A choice to ‘observe and wait’. I’m still observing & waiting ….14 invitations from my GP surgery later.

    I am not an anti vaxxer… if I was 80 , morbidly obese or with severe asthma .. I would have had it by now.

    I too think the vaccine has its place. But I would not say everyone HAS to have it any more than I would say a flu vaccine ‘should‘ go to everyone.
    Chemotherapy might prolong a life but some choose not to have it. Would the government say they should have it I wonder?

    What I think we need to learn from Covid and the responses to it is that as a society we are poorly prepared for mass crises … this one having been the infective type. Had the pandemic been killing a high percentage of children then a different approach would be prudent. If there was an Ebola outbreak …different again.

    Some have paid a high price with Covid.
    Some are paying a high price with the vaccine and we are only six months in. The numbers so far suggest that for some groups the vaccine benefits far outweighs the risks of the vaccine .

    Comparing the two in a rational and statistical sound and meaningful way is in fact not easy . So I suspect it is not possible to say that the vaccine risk outweighs the risk of Covid in all groups.

    Am I a vaccine refusenik … avoider … no . I am a vaccine questioner. It may yet prove to be the right thing to have mass vaccination but I think the jury is out for the present

    So many rapidly-moving trends all synergizing.
    1-Healthcare (or medical-industrial complex) is now the largest sector of USA economy and getting that way in Europe too.
    2-We have Medicalism, i.e., The ‘Medicalization’ of seemingly every aspect of life.
    3-We have ‘scientism’, wherein one’s blind tribal loyalty to a ‘deity’ called science (noun), is more important than adherence to the principles of objectivity that underpin the scientific method (adjective)
    4-We have a trend to commoditize every aspect of healthcare wherein the diagnoses/conditions, the patients, the products (patented of course), the services and even the doctors (Malcom Kendrick excluded) all become standardized, interchangeable widgets! This commoditization/standardization allows the massively-capitalized entities/individuals to “scale up” or upsize everything up to mega-sized scale, thereby eliminating competition and funneling ever-more money to a smaller and smaller number of profiteers.
    5-Finally, we no longer have evidence-based medicine, but we have “eminence-based medicine”. Eminence-based medicine is where those who are deemed “eminent” get to dictate what is “evident”.
    This whole rise of medicalism and scientism seems similar to what I was taught about the Christian Church in the Middle Ages. So many parallels!

        From the SPI-M-O report:

        SPI-M-O predicts that since vaccine administration has been so high in the oldest age groups, modelled in the report at “95% in the over 50-year olds,” these groups will account for the majority of hospitalizations and deaths in a third wave. In total, an estimated 9.5% of over 50-year olds will be vaccinated but “not protected against death… This is not the result of vaccines being ineffective, merely uptake being so high.”

          I think it may mean that the vast majority of over 50’s have been vaccinated (not me!) and so because the vaccine isn’t 100% effective, if you look at hospitalisations, most of them will have been fully vaccinated!

          I.e. it is probably just an excuse for vaccines that appear useless, because they are not actually much use!

            Well I know that, that’s what it says (95%), that’s not what I was referring to. I repeat, it says:

            “is not the result of vaccines being ineffective, merely uptake being so high.”
            So, what connects the deaths with uptake being so high? If uptake is so high (95%), you would expect less deaths! That’s what I mean, it’s all bullshit!
            The other day, the BBC ran a comaprable story about the fact that almost 1/3rd of infections were amongst fully vaccinated and teling us that this was to be expected! In other words, they know that damn ‘vaccine’ doesn’t do what it says on the label, immunise you!

          Yes, either the marketing department has won a big victory over the statistics faculty, or …. they are telling us the truth.

          Analyse:

          95% vaccinated. 9.5% of the 95% not protected against death. So, ~9% of over 50s are not protected, i.e. 9% will die, if they contract Covid. What is the risk of an unvaccinated person over 50% dying of Covid? I suspect it is so low that they won’t tell us. Anyway, the important thing is that they have told us that 9% of the over 50s will die when they catch Covid. You have been warned. Don’t claim ignorance!

          Here’s another wonderful piece of obfuscation:

          “Does this mean the vaccines are ineffective? Far from it,” the statisticians David Spiegelhalter and Anthony Masters said in an opinion piece published in The Observer newspaper on Sunday. “It’s what we would expect from an effective but imperfect vaccine.”

            Well I’m over 50 (almost 76), I caught the bug and I’m alive to tell the tale. Why? Well I suspect but can’t prove it obviously, I have a working immune system, take my VitD/K2, rarely exercise but eat a reasonably healthy diet. Okay, I came down with bacterial pneumonia in one lung (so they tell me) but a 5-day course of penicillin did the trick. BTW, the last time I caught the Flu was almost 46 years ago and I can’t remember the last time I had a cold.

            Interestingly, very rarely, I start to exhibit symptoms that could be the start of a cold or flu but they never last more than 2-3 days, so is this my immune system ‘kicking in’ and doing what it’s designed to do?

          2. Eggs ‘n beer

            Probably. I’m the same except 14 years younger and the symptoms last half a day at most. Thanks for sharing, your experience suggests I should shrug it off easily too if we’re ever allowed to catch it. Hopefully the Indian variant will take off in Oz, much less fatal and more infectious, and we can get back to normal.

            I should shrug it off easily too if we’re ever allowed to catch it.

            Odd that you should say that, as I waited almost a year to catch it! I knew the odds of dying from it were small as I’m not diabetic (apparently, being diabetic is THE one that has the best chance of the virus finishing you off). I mentioned elsewhere in this essential blog, that almost 46 years ago, I caught a very virulent form of influenza (the NYC strain that I’d never been exposed to) and I was sick, I mean really sick! I’ve never caught the flu since then! So, I think I’m absolutely certain that taking care of your immune system, not some money-making jab, is the best defence. I might add, catching covid is the next best defence against catching the bug again.

            Well, no surprise there! In the South African trial of the AZ, the only one with saline as the placebo, the trial had to be extended beyond its end date as not enough front line health workers, the only people involved in the trial, could catch the bloody thing! When, finally, they got the numbers it was Saline 20 – 19 Vaccine. i.e. no difference. Whereas in the other AZ trials the ACWY meningococcal placebo reduced the immunity of the recipients enough to ensure sufficient numbers were rapidly obtained. Which is where the 91% efficacy comes from.

            Precisely! NICE, for example, doesn’t test drugs at all, it relies on submissions from the manufacturers, who decide what tests they’ve done to submit to NICE. It’s all a fix!

          7. Dr. Malcolm Kendrick Post author

            NICE does not make decisions on which drugs can be prescribed in the UK. That is the MHRA. NICE makes decisions on whether or not the drug provides sufficient benefit vs. cost to justify prescribing it.

          8. barovsky

            I stand corrected, thanks, but does the MHRA test drugs then? I don’t think so, don’t they rely on the manufacturers?

            I was fooled for about 5 minutes by the data that the 80+ y.o. vaccinated had lower rates of covid than the 50-80 y,o. unvaccinated group. Then I realized that the vaccinated were tested at Ct 28 and below and the unvaccinated group were tested at Ct 45.

          First, I thought the point of the vaccine was to prevent hospitalisation and death, not mild disease. Then, if they’d said 5% of the cohort would still end up in hospital, that would “make sense” with 95% protection – but 9.5%?? Where does that come from? Surely those who do catch it should only get mild disease, not end up in hospital. I think they are making excuses for an ineffective and possibly dangerous injection.

That every serious injury is rare, but they now run into the hundreds of thousands (if not millions).

          2. Martin Back

            I worked that out with diagrams and arrows and much scratching of head. It’s easier with algebra.

            Assume
            80% are vaccinated with a hospitalization rate of x
            20% are unvaccinated with a hospitalization rate of y

            Then from a population of 100, 80x + 20y will end up in hospital
            There will be 1 vaccinated for every 2 unvaccinated if 1/3 of patients are vaccinated.
            i.e. 80x/20y = 1/2
            80x = 10y [multiply both sides by 20y]
            y = 8x i.e. unvaccinated are 8 times more likely to end up in hospital than vaccinated..

            If we assume 90% were vaccinated, then 90x/10y = 1/2, 90x = 5y, y = 18, i.e. unvaccinated are 18 times more likely to end up in hospital.

          95% vaccination seems very high. Assuming 80% of the age group are vaccinated, and they constitute 1/3 (33%) of the hospital population in that age group, then the unvaccinated are 8 times more likely to end up in hospital.

          The formula is 80/20 x 67/33 = 8.12

          If 95% are vaccinated and 1/3 of them in hospital, then the unvaxxed are 38 times more susceptible.

            Check calculation: Assume 1000 population, 80% vaccinated.
            800 vaccinated @ 1% = 8 hospitalised
            200 unvaxxed @ 8% = 16 hospitalised
            Unvaccinated = 8/24 = 1/3 of the hospital population, QED

            Note we can only calculate the RATIO of hospitalisation on the numbers given.
            If we knew the hospital population we could calculate the actual figure.

            E.g., assume that 3 of our 1000 population were hospitalised, 1 vaccinated, 2 unvaxxed.
            Then vaccinated rate = 1/800 = 0.125%, unvaxxed rate = 2/200 = 1%, eight times more.

        1. Jerome Savage

          FOLLOWING NOTED – but no indication that the vaxed are 6.5 times more susceptible to our viral friend.
          “there is no evidence the Delta variant is anything but less deadly for anyone. But there is certainly no evidence that somehow the vaccine is a greater imperative because of this variant. India itself appears to have achieved herd immunity – with the WHO estimating infection rates between 60% and 75% in most places – with one-seventh the death rate of England, but with one-fourth the percentage of people who have receive one dose of the vaccine.”

            There are no deaths because there is no Covid. Every case precipitates a lockdown of some sort. Three cases in Qld meant 4m people under lockdown during school holidays for maximum chaos and financial impact. The whole state, 5m people, (seven times the area of the UK) in a mask mandate for three weeks.

I will search the net to see what I can read about Kilmer McCully. I don’t know what the answers are to this madness of egos and politicians. It is as if politicians the world over are mindless in their pursuit of keeping their jobs as the prize for the next election; and us the people of the public community we are the ‘herd’ to be rounded up at will, mustered, confined, tagged and branded. No one allowed to speak out on things such as health especially anything that challenges or has a solution within it. Nor can anyone with greater knowledge come to our defense for they too end up on the wrong side of ‘the party room’. No one it seems has a free voice any more. I privately shed tears often, at the loss of my liberties due to a sick and unhealthy society. I feel anger at those people who couldn’t give a damn for the crap they eat and drink that in more people than not leads them to an unhealthy metabolic state, including becoming obese and inflamed, that compromises the immune system. The lack of educational programs to address this is obvious, but I also think to try to develop programs to address this lack of education, would be to be damned as well.

    Referring to Jean much earlier in the blog & other commentators – there are a number of us in the same boat. You can’t change what has happened but we can all continue to encourage all our loved ones to get plenty of Vitamins C & D if they don’t already.

    I’m staggered by the younger generation in large (from my sample of relatives and work colleagues) mainly having complete belief in the narrative & incapable of doing even the teeniest bit of research – although I cast back to my younger days and the belief that Weetabix & Shredded Wheat were the healthiest breakfasts in the world because that is what the guidelines ‘said’ (aside – now the majority of my weekly wheat consumption is two {cut down from 3 or 4} of my Mums Yorkshire puddings on Sundays).

    At least one of my children think that I’m a stark raving mad tinfoil hat nutter (the other just a nutter) – one saving grace is that they certainly take Vit C (in part it helps that I dish it out even though they both have decent jobs though with ‘lockdowns’ and them living away visits are now months apart) & I encourage and previously dished out Vit D in winter. All I’ve asked of them is to wait until Spring and observe what happens this Autumn / Winter and to take the jab if it is shown to be highly protective vs unjabbed – they have both sides of the family to compare (me & my parents + sister being non-jabbed, ex-wife & her parents + sister being jabbed) – the narrative, however, of doing your bit and protecting others combined with threats of restrictions for unjabbed is persuasive. Daughter remains unjabbed & I’ve provided enough evidence that she is waiting but has said that if she wants to travel & needs it for that, she will. Son – he might already have had it but I live in hope that he is still waiting (a saving grace is that he is an outdoors type & will be soaking in Vit D at present).

    I was on a call with an overseas European based Indian colleague & he mentioned that he was about to have his 1st jab. I asked if he knew which one (Pfizer) & he wanted to know which I’d had. He was incredulous that I’m waiting (I expect it will be an long wait, if ever [but I could be proven wrong]). Asking questioners whether it will prevent them catching or spreading the virus does the trick and I find it’s usually the ‘I need it to get back to normal’ type response.

    Sorry, another side story which I apologise is a repeat – my parents have listened & are waiting on the jab (I showed them the recent PHE table that showed deaths attributed to the ‘Delta’ variant vs 2x, 1x & unjabbed & it provides little reassurance for the jab). Dad was easy to convince – I got him off statins a few years back when I started researching {including a big thanks to Dr K} and realised that his memory loss and muscle weakness were statin induced (fast forward a few years and he is playing golf* twice a week in his 80’s whereas for the months on statins he couldn’t get round 18 holes and was going to give up + had to take a stick out walking). Mum was due to be 1st jabbed on a Monday with AZ but as she had been under the weather that weekend, I convinced her to cancel on the morning (quoting NHS advice). Mum is now in the wait camp of you can’t take it out but you can wait to have it injected (her younger, less healthy, jabbed siblings think she’s mad). I’m not of the opinion of you’re doomed if you have been jabbed (there are certainly red flags). My main concern is potential the effect on the younger generation and the unknown long term consequences on fertility (and I see great big red flags fluttering in a strong wind).

      Well, I think I’ve persuaded my kids (all in their 20s) not to take this jab. They do think I’m a tinfoilhat nutter not to subscribe to the govt spy software compulsory from 9th July if you want to buy anything in person. The boys pointed out that they can tell where I am at any time, anyway, through my phone. I asked how (knowing the answer) so he took my phone, touched a few screens and muttered that I’d turned off the GPS. Precisely, says I. The other son was incredulous. “How do you ever get anywhere?”.

        I use an ultra cheap Tesco phone which can’t run apps. It has several advantages:

        1) It won’t run the NHS app.

        2) It fits in a pocket better, and is chunkier so that it can withstand being sat on.

        3) It isn’t ‘smart’ and ‘smart’ things are best avoided – e.g smart meters, smart motorways, etc.

        4) It has a simpler interface as compared with a smart phone, and it doesn’t use touch screen technology.

        Smart devices are devices that others can fiddle with in unpredictable and secret ways.

        I think my family think similar things about me, but it helps to grow a thick skin.

            Not yet, because the app (CheckIn) doesn’t record your vaccine status. Yet. Because we haven’t had enough vaccines to jab everyone. Yet. Once we’ve reached a certain percentage and have enough in store to jab everyone then you can bet your bottom dollar your status will be recorded on the app. Of course, there’s absolutely no mention of this. It’s only a track and trace app atm. So they can force you to test and isolate or quarantine if you were in “close contact” with a known infected person.

            There are no exceptions.

          I’m totally in agreement, David.

          However, any mobile phone can be used as a bugging device, even when switched off.The best way of preventing this is to take out the battery.

          I bought a pouch for mine, which incorporates a Faraday cage. Unfortunately, this quickly flattens the battery, as the phone regularly searches for a signal, so its best use is as a means of isolating the switched-off device without having to remove the battery every time.

I’ve looked online – you can still buy them & the cheapest I saw is twelve quid (I recollect paying twenty years ago). I do have a work smartphone (I selected the cheapest option but is still the equivalent of at least three dozen Nokia 1600’s) – I switch on GPS only if I want to use as a SatNav which is handy as it can warn of motorway delays which can then be avoided).

    I guess that when the world goes through any major change it will often get bad before it gets better. There has to be some kind of purging of the old way to embrace something new. Either way it looks like the way the medical system was going could no longer continue – it had to give somehow and this is the result. Even though it seems bleak it’s an opportunity for a new way of life, we just have to choose as a collective which way we want it to go.

      Leila, re. “it looks like the way the medical system was going could no longer continue”. What is important to remember is that the way the ‘medical system’ is is all part of an explicit agenda. Here in the UK the enemies of the NHS have been working for decades against it. And the enemies are primarily, but not exclusively, the Tories – and in the early days the BMA/Doctors. The objective, which is very nearly achieved, is privatisation. The weapons used have been underfunding, decentralisation, internal competition and uncontrolled, imposed bureaucracy. None of this is accidental.
      Your attitude of, oh well, that’s the way it is, we just have to put up with it, is wrong and gives a free pass to the underhand and criminal methods that have been used to get us where we are now.
      Where we are heading is a USA type system where only the rich can afford healthcare and where ordinary people literally die because they cannot afford the treatment or drugs for entirely, and easily, treatable conditions. If you don’t fight it this bleak future is inevitable.

    CONCLUSION
    ” carbon dioxide mixes with fresh air and elevates the carbon dioxide content of inhaled air under the mask, and this was more pronounced in this study for younger children.This leads in turn to impairments attributable to hypercapnia. A recent review6 concluded that there was ample evidence for adverse effects of wearing such masks. We suggest that decision-makers weigh the hard evidence produced by these experimental measurements accordingly, which suggest that children should not be forced to wear masks.

          I read Greenwald and Taibbi on substack. They both are lefty writers who have been banned from lefty media for questioning the various narratives. So it seems to me that their main audience is other lefties. Plenty of right-wing sites say what they say already about lefty narratives, but they have credibility with other lefties.

          What other stuff gets censored besides covid info?

            theasdgamer: I, too, read Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibi, and subscribe to both. I do this because they do good journalism. I am not a lefty or a righty, and I suspect the audience for both reflects a wide range of views. I also read Sharyl Attkisson. She does good journalism, too. And I subscribe to the Epoch times, one of the few good newspapers. I also read a little bit of Censored News, such as Zero Hedge.

            For example, stuff on Assange. Here’s something I did on searching that latest on Assange that without exception has not appeared in the MSM:

            A total of 8 actual news stories returned when I searched for Sigurdur Thordarson (who lied about Assange after being blackmailed by the FBI), none of them ‘mainstream’ and even then neither Media Lens nor FAIR or Stundin (the source!) were amongst them, using Google ‘search’, Ha! Surprisingly, one of them was WSWS! Then The Canary, News Ghana, The Reykavik Grapevine, Market Research Telecast, Sputnik News and Tablet Magazine. The rest were ALL in foreign languages.

            DuckDuckGo was even worse, returning only 7 actual news stories, but then it uses Google!

            Startpage also returned only 8 stories with only one of them being ‘mainstream’, MSN and the addition of Democracy Now!, Havana Times and RT

            Ecosia was little better, again with 8 hits with the addition of Radio Havana Cuba and Kayhan (an Iranian site)

            As far as the ‘average’ user of the Web (whoever that is) an almost total news blackout!

    In this regard, it is extremely lucky that we, as a group trying to reset thinking on thyroid diagnosis and treatment, have retired doctors/scientists in the group whose papers now muster about 30. No-one therefore can attack us with any success re compromising our positions, but the alternative action of studied indifference is being successfully substituted for positive attacks. I came into science long ago with a starry-eyed belief in objective truth and the requirement to sccept it when discovered. My young self would despair that that idealism is long since dead – not however my still now old-fashioned belief – but in a huge part of the scientific/medical literature. Venality in getting papers published however poor they are, to continue grants and position in the institution is now the norm.

    How’s this for a theory… We know that vaccinated people can get infected by the Covid virus. We know that the virus that infects a person is very likely the one that is best adapted to infecting that person. We know that the virus mutates and that the variants that are more infectious are more successful. So…

    Vaccinated people will develop variants that are more efficient at infecting vaccinated people.
    Unvaxxed people will develop variants that are more efficient at infecting unvaxxed people.
    Eventually the Covid virus will split into two distinct groupings — variants that prefer vaxxed people; and variants that prefer unvaxxed people.

    Ivermectin:
    ” In conclusion, we elucidated that while both moxidectin and ivermectin exhibit antiviral
    activity in Vero E6, they do not reduce SARS-CoV-2 replication in human airway-derived
    cell models. While immortalized cells lines such as Vero E6 may be useful in a primary
    screening of inhibitors, it is important to determine true relevance of the inhibitors in a
    biological relevant model. In humans, airway epithelium is the main target for SARS-CoV-2
    (de Melo et al., 2020; Leist et al., 2020) and therefore PBECs grown under ALI conditions,
    but not Vero cells, mimic crucial physiological properties similar to that found
    in vivo
    (Cao et
    al., 2020; Jia et al., 2005; Sims et al., 2008). We therefore advocate more rigorous antiviral
    drug testing in relevant systems prior to evaluating their efficacy in clinical trials.”

      Covid is primarily a coagulopathic disease and damage to the lungs is primarily from coagulopathy–not directly due to infection of lung tissue, Hence, the study is irrelevant. Straw man.

      Elevated D dimer levels ring a bell?

        I’m still trying to figure out if the virus does anything, DIRECTLY. Allegedly I caught it and initially had no symptoms, aside from smell and taste but then had tests, x-ray and was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia in one lung. So where’s the SARS-COV-2? So the virus itself apears to do nothing (hence most are asympotomatic) but what it does do, is make one susceptible to OTHER diseases, IF you have the ‘right’ conditions eg, diabetes which weakens the immune system. Luckily, my immune system seems to have been strong enough (with antibiotics) to overcome, NOT the virus, but the pneumonia. Have I got this right?

        Reply

          It looks to me like the virus damages endothelial vascular cells and this generates an immune response which might cause a severe drop in platelets as clots form. When vascular cells are damaged, clots form near the damage. When you get _a lot_ of capillaries damaged, the potential for widespread clotting is huge.

        So, what causes the coagulopathy? You don’t get coagulopathy because you’ve been naughty or some such. There are causes. In this case, it’s viral infection. Rampant platelets responding to endothelial infection causes breakdown in controlled coagulation. As I’ve described before, there is a cascade of serotonin as a result. The lungs, whose job it was, are no longer able to handle the excess serotonin and that excess goes systemic: Serotonin syndrome.
        We could handle the virus readily without anti-virals ($!) *if* serotonin did not go rogue causing more damage. Most of us, particularly the youngsters of us, have systems that ARE able. But for those who do go into serotonin toxicity, treat with anti-serotonin medication. Do it sooner rather than Late. Cheap. Easy. Quick. …D’oh.
        (Look up Serotonin syndrome. Find out just how neatly it fits the COVID-19 illness picture. Find out how scary it is that so few of those who could make a difference in so many lives are concerned about it. You?)

            Powerful Evidence’s final comments:
            ” Our current study shows limits of no blind treatments, and a small cohort of patients. Prospective controlled studies are needed and the SAINT trial results are expected.

            Given that this is not a double-blind study and the sample size is small, it is not possible to reach a conclusion about the efficacy of ivermectin in treating COVID-19 in a geriatric clinical setting; further randomized studies are needed. ”

            Sure, there is a need for treatment and, sure, with the rapid onslaught of a novel and poorly understood pathogen, one would want to treat with one’s own seemingly logical choice of treatment without having to wait years for RCT results with no positive results guaranteed and $$$ spent.

            Small cohort of _high risk_ patients is far better than a larger cohort of very low risk patients. The direction trending is constantly for benefit.

            RCT’s, it turns out, are no better than retrospectives at discovering evidence. They have different problems and are of benefit done on the same question.

            When it comes to antiviral evidence, on the pro-antiviral side you have a few high quality retrospectives and many moderate and low quality retrospectives.

            On the antiviral-skeptic side, you have several low-quality RCTs (low quality because of late treatment and toxic dosing).

            Advantage pro-antivirals.

            If the skeptics want to continue playing, they need to come up with some high-quality evidence.

            In the meantime, the best path looks to be antiviral treatment.

      Experience shows that people who take ivermectin tolerate Covid-19 infection better than people who don’t take ivermectin.

    Such resistance is particularly strong among Republicans: a Washington Post-ABC News poll released on Sunday found that 86% of Democrats but only 45% of Republicans have received at least one shot.

    The same poll found that a third of adults who had not had a shot said they would not or probably would not get one. Of those respondents, nearly three-quarters said officials like Fauci were exaggerating the risk posed by the Delta variant. A little more than three-quarters believed they had little or no risk of contracting Covid-19.

            The government in the US is run by the nomenklatura. And they are _very_ diverse and mostly lefties.

            Looking at relative outcomes is exactly the wrong way to approach things. Looking at relative opportunity or lack thereof _due to government limitations_ is the correct way. And white men are specifically prevented from slots in medical school despite having superior credentials in the US. Because affirmative action. It has been that way for over a decade.

            Affirmative action is racist.

    How difficult is it for a virus particle to get through the mucus that lines the airways?

    SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped virus ≈0.1 μm in diameter
    SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) by the numbers

    In the large airways lined by a pseudostratified epithelium, a thick mucus gel layer (up to 50 µm) accumulates from mucus transported from distal airways and additional mucins are produced by surface secretory cells and glands
    Airway Mucus Function and Dysfunction

    This implies that the Covid virus has to burrow through 50/0.1 i.e. 100 times its own length of mucus to get to the ACE2 receptors of the underlying cells. Equivalent to you or me swimming through more than150 meters of spit. Tough little buggers, they must be.

    But the authors add, “However, the pore size of the gel mesh is sufficiently large (approximately 500 nm) that it is readily penetrated by small viruses with hydrophilic capsids; this has implications for microbial infection and gene therapy.” Not sure what to make of this.

Surely best to rely on people with chronic diseases living to 75-85 but needing constant medication, maybe from age 25-30?

      We also take Vitamin K2 – 100 micrograms per day – and magnesium to provide 300 mg of elemental magnesium daily.

      Last but not least, 1/2 – 3/4 lb liver (any kind) per week, to supply Vitamin A. Some experts think it unwise to supplement Vitamin A in case toxicity builds up over time. If you dislike liver, there are alternatives such as dark chocolate.

    They report a total of 1,403 deaths and 1,007,253 injuries recorded following the experimental COVID injections.

    And whilst you’ve been distracted by Hancock’s affair, PHE released a report, on the very same day, revealing 62% of alleged Covid deaths are people who’ve been vaccinated

    The majority of alleged Covid-19 deaths are significantly higher in people who have had at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, with the highest number of deaths occurring in people who are supposed to be fully vaccinated.

        Note that the above figures only apply to over-50s with Delta, and presumably only those who were symptomatic when infected so they got a test. (Or maybe it’s only those who went to hospital. Not sure.)

        IFR for under-50s = 8/82458 = 0.0097%
        IFR for over-50s = 109/9571 = 1.14%

          What I would love to see is
          IFR for unvaccinated + SOC [standard of care = hospital, oxygen, steroids etc if needed]
          IFR for unvaccinated + [IVM/HCQ/Whatever] + SOC

            I was posted this by e-mail this morning.

            https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2021/07/03/fully-vaccinated-people-have-a-885-higher-chance-of-death-due-to-covid-19-than-people-who-are-unvaccinated-according-to-official-data/

            Data from Public Health England shows that people who are fully v@cc*inated are 9.9 times more likely to die from the COVID-19 Delta variant than unvaccinated people. (0.69% vs 0.07%)

            A story about this from the UK is posted here.

            The article notes:

            As per the above table we can see that of the 53,822 confirmed cases of the Delta Covid variant in people who are unvaccinated, 44 have sadly died. This accounts to 0.07% of confirmed cases in the people who are unvaccinated.

            However, of the 7,235 confirmed cases of the Delta Covid variant in people who had received both doses of a Covid-19 vaccine and were therefore fully vaccinated, 50 have sadly died. This accounts to 0.69% of confirmed cases in people who are fully vaccinated.

            This data, which again has been published by Public Health England, shows us that people who have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine have a 885.7% higher chance of dying due to the Delta Covid variant than people who are unvaccinated.

            Those who are interested could read the article?

            What is not clear is the ages of those vaccinated who died – I assume they were a lot older? I would need to do some digging.

          2. Carole

            Does PHE have an age breakdown for deaths because that is the argument I’m facing now. I can’t quite understand the argument- in my head your either vaccinated or not regardless of age…..Everyone trying to grip onto the belief that the vaccines work and they haven’t been hoodwinked.

            Thanks for this … I have passed it on to a CovIDIOT who has been urging me to get Injected.

            I keep asking him what my upside is … he initially told me that I’d be able to travel out of NZ without quarantining… he doesn’t mention that any more.

            I do enjoy taunting him when long weekends approach asking ‘so are you heading off to Bali or maybe Thailand for a break?’ … knowing that this remains impossible due to a 3 week quarantine requirement on return to his home in HK.

            Not only is there zero upside… this is yet another potential downside of the Injection.

            Well, yes, sort of. As we know from DD, statistics can be twisted to mean anything.

            Yes, IF you are vaccinated AND catch Covid then you’re 885% more likely to die.

            But, the numbers of vaccinated who catch Covid are much lower than the unvaccinated. So we have to look at the populations of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. And Lo! the government do this for us:

            https://www.gov.uk/government/news/more-than-30-million-people-vaccinated-with-second-dose

            So for simplicity, half the population at the 21st June, were fully vaccinated. Let’s for a moment accept that, for the whole period covered by these results (1/2/21 to 21/6/21) half the population was fully vaccinated. And with 50 fully vaccinated dying, compared to 44 unvaccinated with equal populations; advantage the unvaccinated.

            Take into account that the first doses were administered in December, the average for the Feb to Jun period of fully vaccinated will be well below 50%. Game to the vaccinated.

            Then toss in the partially vaccinated, greatly reducing the unvaccinated total. Set; unvaccinated.

            So even when the data is adjusted for population sizes, you’re still more likely to die if you’ve been vaccinated, partially or fully, than if you’ve avoided the jab. Game, set and match to the sensible.

            Go Ash!! Maybe the J&J single jab is OK.

          5. AhNotepad

            But the vaccinated catch Covid only if they come into contact with an unvaccinated person.

            From The Daily Expose
            https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2021/07/03/fully-vaccinated-people-have-a-885-higher-chance-of-death-due-to-covid-19-than-people-who-are-unvaccinated-according-to-official-data/

            This data, which has been published by Public Health England, shows us that people who have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine have a 70.1% higher chance of being hospitalised with the alleged Delta Covid variant than people who are unvaccinated.

            WRONG! They are assuming the totals given are from the entire UK population. They are not. They are only the people who attended emergency care and who had a positive test for the Delta variant. They could have gone to hospital for any reason. There is no requirement that their hospital attendance is Covid-related.

            Ref: PHE England report assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/997418/Variants_of_Concern_VOC_Technical_Briefing_17.pdf

            What Table 4 shows is that of the 58,822 unvaccinated who attended emergency care, 98% were under 50, i.e. most likely reason for going to hospital is accident, drugs, suicide, making stupid Tik-Tok videos, etc etc. 831 (1.4%) of the unvaccinated were held overnight.

            Of the 7,235 2-dose vaccinated who attended emergency care, 86% were over 50, i.e. most likely reason for going to hospital is stroke, heart attack, cancer etc etc. 190 (2.6%) of the 2-dose vaccinated were held overnight.

            This data, which again has been published by Public Health England, shows us that people who have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine have a 885.7% higher chance of dying due to the Delta Covid variant than people who are unvaccinated.

            WRONG! This is a shocking misrepresentation of the data, and a blatant use of relative not absolute percentages for exaggerated effect. It completely ignores the fact that the vast majority of unvaccinated who report to emergency care are under 50 and therefore far less likely to die of Covid. In fact, the same data shows that NOBODY WITH TWO DOSES OF VACCINE DIED IF THEY WERE UNDER 50. Only the over-50s died.

            Since the under-50 IFR among those reporting to emergency care is so low (8/82458 = 1 in 10,000 approx), and since their deaths are less likely to be Covid-related, it makes sense to compare only the over-50s

            Of the 3,546 over-50s who received two doses of vaccine and who reported to emergency care, 50 died (1.41%)
            Of the 976 over-50s who were unvaccinated and who reported to emergency care, 38 died (3.89%) i.e. at roughly three times the rate of the twice-vaccinated, but remember, deaths are not necessarily Covid-related.

            A far cry from “a 885.7% chance of dying due to the Delta Covid variant”.

            SHAME ON YOU, THE DAILY EXPOSE!!!

          7. Martin Back

            Eggs, your mistake is to assume if half the population is fully vaccinated, the other half is unvaccinated. In fact, most of that other half is partly vaccinated.

            41,831,056 (79.4%) have received at least one dose of vaccine
            therefore only 10,852,893 (20.6%) are unvaccinated.

            Of 30,209,707 (57.4%) with both doses, 50 died i.e 1.65 per million
            Of 10,852,893 (20.6%) unvaccinated, 44 died i.e. 4.05 per million, about 2.5 times more fatalities pro rata

            But how many died OF Covid, and how many WITH Covid? Don’t know.
            Also, how many of the vaccinated already had immunity from being previously infected? We’ll never know.

          8. Eggs ‘n beer

            True, except that you’re applying the fully vaccinated figure across the five months, whereas it only applies at the 21st June. We really need an average figure for the period for fully vacc and unvacc.

            The only firm conclusion is that the vaccines don’t prevent hospitalisations and deaths.

          9. AhNotepad

            It’s quite the opposite. The covid jabs cause hospitalisations and deaths. Easy to see, look at the CDC and MHRA data. They list all the details, except the ones that don’t get recorded there because doctors are encouraged to record them elsewhere, on a database without public access, or not at all, as in the case of someone I spoke to the other day. He had a really bad reaction, went to the GP who said it was nothing to do with the vaccine and refused to record it. So the victim recorded it on the MHRA database. Two days (57 hours) without sleep because of the pain, which was somewhat reduced when he took a pain killer, but it came back with a vengeance when the effect wore off.

          10. barovsky

            The only firm conclusion is that the vaccines don’t prevent hospitalisations and deaths.

            Yes, but the BBC, I mean the ‘experts’, I mean the NHS, I mean the government, are now saying that it’s quite ‘normal’ for the fully vaccinated to die and be hospitalised! It sounds like a ‘feature’ doesn’t it?

            As to the question; okay, but by how much and what do any of these numbers tell us? Statisitics have become weapons of war and the first casualty is the truth. The entire nature of the major powers response (allegedly) to the Bug, has been politicised, become a profit centre, from the getgo.

            The off again, on again cycle that the G8 countries initiated, can’t go on. It’s something that I predicted would happen, a year ago. But it’s untenable, unsustainable and the corporate state can only maintain it for as long as they can keep us in a state of fear. It really is time to say, enough! We need to get back to living, not preparing to die!

    2. Too many entries about treatments. Prophylactic or not. Vitamins, Earth elements, and so on.
    3. All we know that no treatment is approved for political and money reasons. Nonetheless, thousands of people have been well treated,
    4. It is nice to see a very big number of smart people along these pages. Mostly assert that they are not Physicians: I am.
    5. Most of this over clay feet: RT-qPCR Testing is neither proof of disease nor of viral existence. Every study on covid have no foundations.

      Thank goodness for your voice of reason….the predictable senario of the same old names quickly taking over the blog, inevitably distancing any discussion away from Dr Kendrick’s well thought out topic. After a flush of interesting responses, the blog deteriorates into a tit for tat between the same old, same old, names. Y…A…W…..N..
      I so much appreciated this site in the past, but once I see the same names hour after hour, I skip over asap. It becomes so laborious and boring trying to find references to the original topic.

      1. barovsky

        Jennifer, what, exactly is your problem? I’ve been involved with online journalism, debates et al, since 1979 and immediately it became apparent to me that there are two approaches to online discussion and debate; either, it’s totally open to all, regardless, or it’s not and what we used to call ‘flaming’, was a ‘feature’ from jump street. I assume that Dr Kendrick does some ‘judicious’ pruning of the illegal and the ‘prurient’ but seems to allow the rest free reign, which I think is as it should be.
        I first ran an online independent news stream back around 1983 called New York Online that ran on the Fidonet system and it immediately came under attack from those who disagreed with its position on my interpretation of events. I discovered that the best way to deal with the Nazis, the racists and the mentally unhinged was to simply ignore them and they eventually went elsewhere. After all, their objective is not to engage in debate but to provoke a response by attacking the prevailing views. So responding to them is exactly what they desire!
        With regard to your objection to the ‘same’ voices cropping up here (I assume you exclude your good self), that’s just the way it is. Short of Dr Kendrick imposing some kind of ‘quota’ on opinions expressed here, what’s your alternative? And frankly, I find very few ‘echo chamber’ opinions here (except, it seems when it comes to ‘supplements’ and not the Sunday newspaper kind) and surely given that Dr Kendrick’s views largely run counter to the mass of ‘received opinion’ found elsewhere, that’s why you have a specific set of views here that you don’t find elsewhere, and isn’t that the entire point?
        There is an additional element that I don’t really want to go into here but it has to do with the nature of the medium itself that encourages scanning rather than reading, a process whereby the eye/brain just picks up the content that triggers a response (flaming) and ignores everything else!

        This is a very tame blog compared to most. What you refer to as “tit for tat” might be seen by others as normal discussion. Possibly not to your taste. The problem is when you apply wholesale criticism, that is in effect censorship. There is plenty I don’t agree with here, some is because I have a different view, some is because I don’t understand it enough, so can neither agree or disagree. It is also good to see the articulate replies to some points, which are a bit shaky. In general I am happy with the moderation, so I try to read most of the posts. I often learn something.

      Some folks think that minorities suffer health problems because governments discriminate against minorities. Is this really off-topic?

      The post comments on supplements and I don’t see how it can be off topic to discuss supplements.

      The post is about censorship and discussing treatments is in line with the post’s aim to discourage censorship.

      We are all here because we in some way question the pronouncements of health authorities–in fact, this very post comments on the decline in the reliability of supposedly scientific sources. Hence, your appeal to expertise is against the point of the OP and you need to support your argument with evidence. Earning an MD and passing the licensure exam gives you the right to practice medicine. It does not necessarily give you better reading skills and others may do a better job of reading journal articles than some random MD who only reads abstracts.

      Didier Raoult and a few others have done studies which involved viral culturing and those studies do _not_ have clay feet even if they also use PCR. Some studies which relied on PCR have signal/noise problems, but there may still be a distinguishable signal in those studies.

      Yes, this is the heart of the matter! I once speculated on here that COVID might be analogous to Father Christmas except that its purpose isn’t benign!

      As a child, I went through a phase of believing that there were actually many FC’s who travelled about by car to deliver the presents. The simple reality that my parents bought the stuff in shops, wrapped it up, and pushed it into a stocking still came as a shock!

      Likewise, I still wonder if COVID will ultimately turn out to be something found only in a computer. People can die of imaginary causes – for example where belief in Voodoo is rife, it is possible to kill someone by waiving a bone at them. I wonder if a positive COVID test works the same way on some people in our culture.

      Returning to those PCR tests, it is the information that seems impossible to obtain that tells us most. Why is the number of PCR cycles kept secret? Why is the number of false positives kept secret? I do so wish that Karry Mullis were still alive.

        “People can die of imaginary causes – for example where belief in Voodoo is rife, it is possible to kill someone by waiving a bone at them. I wonder if a positive COVID test works the same way on some people in our culture”.

        That may be possible, but there is an even simpler explanation. One of the best-kept secrets of our modern snowflake culture is that everybody dies. Everybody without exception, not just a few unfortunates who didn’t get the right treatment. It’s not so much a state secret as something most people simply refuse to admit to themselves.

        Given a world population of about 8 billion (we needn’t be concerned with precision), and aiming off a bit for a skewed age distribution (far more young than old), about 50-60 million will die every year. In the UK, it’s convenient to divide by 100 to get a rough figure: about 600,000 a year (we have more old people than average). That’s 12,000 a week, or about 1,700 a day or 70 an hour or about one a minute. (In the whole world, people die at a rate of slightly more than one every second).

        So people are dying all the time, at a quite rapid rate, and often nobody can put their finger on just what the cause of death was. What an opportunity for conjuring up an imaginary plague! “Covid-19 strikes down mostly the old and very sick,” we are told (if we inquire persistently enough). Well, aren’t they precisely those already at death’s door? It’s like saying that ripe apples fall to the ground because an invisible angel knocks them off the tree with a miniature bow that shoots invisible arrows that dissolve once they have done their work.

        I prefer Sir Isaac Newton’s explanation – but then I am biased in favour of science.

        “I do so wish that [Kary] Mullis were still alive”.

        So do I – on general grounds. He was a splendid fellow, just the type we need more of. Like Richard Feynman, in some ways.

        But as regards PCR, Dr Mullis said everything we need to know quite clearly back in the 20th century. He stressed that PCR is a mechanism for multiplying a given sample of DNA or RNA; and that it is entirely unsuitable for diagnosis, as given enough cycles one can find *anything* in anybody.

        Reply
        1. theasdgamer

          _By itself_, PCR cannot be used to establish viral load/infection. If you can somehow establish that its results are linked to an actual, infectious virus, then PCR _can_ be used for purposes other than amplification. Mullis couldn’t possibly have foreseen all the possible ramifications of his technology.

          Didier Raoult has been able to use PCR to establish viral load and infection, using viral culturing.

          If a cell line could be produced that could accelerate viral reproduction somehow, then viral culturing might possibly be used clinically in conjunction with PCR. And just think of the possibilities for viral warfare if such technology were to become available!

          Prudence,

          I found the videos by Karry Mullis a bit vague, and one of his key points escaped me for some time – I hope I understand it now.

          Those tests only look for a short string of nucleotides – typically 20 bases long. Since there are four possible bases, that means that there is one chance in 20^4 (about 1 trillion) of an accidental match in any one position. Since there are 6.4 x 10^9 bases in the human genome it appears safe to assume that accidental matches are rare – if you have only human RNA and COVID RNA to consider.

          However, a swab from the nose or throat will contain a huge variety of organisms – each with its own genome – which cuts the odds enormously and makes false positives fairly likely.

          I hope that is what he meant.

    Erin Marie Olszewski is a Nurse-turned-investigative journalist, who has spent the last few months on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, on the inside in two radically different settings. Two hospitals. One private, the other public. One in Florida, the other in New York.

    And not just any New York public hospital, but the “epicenter of the epicenter” itself, the infamous Elmhurst in Donald Trump’s Queens. As a result of these diametrically opposed experiences, she has the ultimate “perspective on the pandemic”. She has been where there have been the most deaths attributed to Covid-19 and where there have been the least.

        I think that Elmhurst may have been the worst case of rampant VILI deaths in New York. I don’t think that that occurred for long elsewhere. One New York hospital chain supposedly did an eval of VILI in their hospitals. Maybe that ended the practice of premature ventilation for covid.

      Graphene Oxide. Bizarre:

      4.2.2 Graphene oxide (GO)

      GO is one of the suitable nanoparticles to enhance the hydrophilicity of the membrane. GO is usually prepared by Hummer’s method [55]. GO contains functional groups making it more dispersed in the polymeric solution. By incorporating GO into the membranes, improved properties for water purification technologies can be achieved by various methods such as dip and spin coatings, layer by layer assembly technique, and vacuum filtration [56]. GO-incorporated membranes consist of a high mechanical strength and thermal stability.

      The GO-incorporated membrane can enhance water transport even in low-pressure applications. The most important property of GO nanosheets is antifouling during operation due to negative charge and high hydrophilicity [57]. It is believed that the GO-incorporated membranes have improved fouling resistance by reducing surface roughness and increasing hydrophilicity [27]. The GO-incorporated membrane shows high water permeability in various applications such as NF, RO, FO, and PRO processes [58]. Although GO has many benefits, it is still expensive and is relatively hard to produce at a larger capacity. Thus, the manufacture of the material should be well developed to reduce the cost and complexity of manufacturing.

            I agree. There are many equally outrageous lunatic theories (graphemes oxide is a solid, gonna look funny trying to suck that into the syringe) out there. A mate sent me a copy of a text saying that the army was being moved from South Australia to Queensland to open mass compulsory vaccination centres in football stadia etc. I told him it was a complete wind up along the lines you suggest. Firstly, we have a lot of army in Queensland. After all, we’re the nearest state to anywhere else. Secondly there aren’t nearly enough vaccines for the idiots that want them. Thirdly compulsory vaccination is illegal and finally we love our footy far to much to allow the venues to be used like that.

    A question to other people here, related to the sad trend in medicine for GP surgeries to become branch offices of Pfizer …

    Does anyone living in England or Wales have experience of totally de-registering from a GP, or know any websites that go over the process? I’m just inside England and the GP is in Wales. I think the rules in England apply (except that my medical records may be safe from being sold to the highest bidder by the DHSC …).

    On a brief online search, so far I only found endless details of how to *register*. I know that no reasons are needed … actually I’d be delighted to give them reasons after the formalities are completed.

    Despite being slightly over 65, AFAIK based on blood tests over the years nothing’s wrong. I’ll do my best to keep myself healthy. Any future tests will have to be private. Of course, if I could find a GP like Malcolm Kendrick or David Unwin, I’d stay registered. But I can’t, so I won’t.

    1. John

      I don’t think you can deregister. There are only two ways out that I know of: 1) Be very rude to staff so they kick you out of the practice – not recommended for reasons of common courtesy 2) Move house to another area and don’t register with a new GP. Technically, you’ll still be registered with the old one, but they won’t be able to get in touch with you, so it still works

    Even a robot programmed to “follow the science” would throw up his hands in despair while reading the latest FDA COVID pronouncement.

    After untold numbers of people have been given antibody tests to determine their COVID status, the FDA now states:

    Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a safety communication informing the public that results from SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests should not be used to evaluate immunity or protection from COVID-19 at any time, and especially after the person received a COVID-19 vaccination.”

    FDA reverses itself: rejects COVID antibody test results; insanity reigns

    “As of this writing, there at least five large, placebo-controlled clinical trials on the use of ivermectin for COVID-19 underway that should be powered to allay residual concerns about the available data. Until those data are released, ivermectin might be best considered as an extremely promising therapy, but one not quite ready for public use. Otherwise, there is a real risk that the scientific community will once again be bitten by over-enthusiasm and forced to answer to a public that will not be shy about holding us to account.”

    I read a article last night that had numerous doctors and government officials warning of the Delta variant and the coming need for masks, social distancing, and lockdowns all over again. One doctor said there are two Americas, vaccinated and unvaccinated, and the unvaccinated will pay a heavy price. The fearmongering is going to be ramped up again this fall when flu season begins. God help us if we allow this to happen again.

      In a psyop, the MSM often hints at what is to come… to prep us for what is to come.

      The repetitiveness of these warnings indicates they know what is coming … because this is a plan… this is very obviously a PR-driven psyop… aimed at generating fear… not dissimilar to the ‘war on terror’ psyop…. and as expected… most humans (because they are no smarter than Pavlov’s dog…) are biting the hook.

    Some tidbits from assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/997418/Variants_of_Concern_VOC_Technical_Briefing_17.pdf which I found interesting:

    the Delta variant accounted for approximately 95% of sequenced and 92% genotyped cases from 7 to 21 June 2021

    PCR cycle threshold (Ct) values appear to be persistently lower in Delta than Alpha cases based on routine national testing data. [Was around 30, now below 20, see Fig 23.]

    Alpa, Beta, Gamma, Delta = Variant Of Concern
    Zeta, Eta, Theta, Kappa, Lambda* = Variant Under Investigation
    Epsilon, Iota = Monitoring
    *Designated as Variant of Interest by WHO, 14 June 2021

    Table 3 and 4 show the number of cases known to be infected with variants of concern or variants under investigation who visited an NHS Emergency Department*, the number who were admitted, and the number who died in any setting (regardless of hospitalisation status) (note data is shown from 1 February 2021 onwards to enable comparison).
    *At least 1 attendance or admission within 28 days of positive specimen date

    Table 8. Vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease for Delta variants
    Dose 1 = 35% (32 to 38)
    Dose 2 = 79% (78 to 80)

    Table 9. Vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation for Delta variants
    Dose 1 = 80% (69 to 88)
    Dose 2 = 96% (91 to 98)

    Figure 23: Average Ct values for S+ (all 3 PCR targets positive) are currently below 20, significantly lower than the average Ct values for SGTF*, which have been increasing since late May 2021, and are now around 30. There has been a drop in recent average OR-dropout Ct values though this is in a very small number of cases, and has since stabilised.
    *S-gene target failure (SGTF) has served as a proxy in the United Kingdom for identifying B.1.1.7 [Alpha/Kent] cases

        The report was delayed because they were hoping for more hospitals to report.
        “Data presented in tables 4 and 5 are affected by an interruption to the data on hospitalisation provided to PHE by NHS Digital. This interruption means that it was not possible to provide data for the most recent weeks and have therefore updated previously reported data covering cases up until 21 June 2021.”

        The total cases in Report 18 have gone up. Total deaths among over-50 fully vaccinated are now 116 out of 5,234 hospital admissions i.e. 2.22% (was 3.89% in Report 17)

        So it looks like the vaccine is getting more effective. Is this what you were referring to?

          I think it’s necessary to emphasize that the statistics are a bit mixed up. For instance deaths are deaths from any cause, anywhere, within 28 days of a Delta coronavirus test i.e. WITH Covid but not necessarily OF Covid. “Cases” in these stats counts only people who were hospitalised for any reason, even a sore toe, and had a Delta positive test. People who felt sick and stayed in bed for instance would not count as a “case”.

          Ideally, what one would want is, out of the total population, how many have what vaccinations, of these groups how many were [Infected with Covid / Hospitalised because of Covid / Died because of Covid]. We don’t have all this data, and anyway it’s constantly changing every week. We can only work with what we’ve got.

      So the WHO told everybody to do the wrong thing? In that case wearing masks was pointless, distance was pointless, lockdowns were pointless, and in any case Edgar Hope-Simpson had this sorted decades ago.

      From the article “Over Zoom, they laid out the case. They ticked through a growing list of superspreading events in restaurants, call centers, cruise ships, and a choir rehearsal, instances where people got sick even when they were across the room from a contagious person.

      Superspreading, I assume this is the mythological asymptomatic spreader.

      Since the jab uses the same mechanism as the virus (so it appears the manufacturers indicate) then those who get jabbed are going to get a similar autoimmune response. That should be good, they can be put down as having viral pneumonia, so it won’t be seen as the vaccines fault. What’s not to like? Unless of course you look at the adverse reaction’s database, when anything can get you. This planned emergengy is due to go on until 2025, when there will be very few of us left that have not had the lethal injection. The rest will start pegging out in about 2 years from now.

      These people are all thrashing about in quicksand. No viral culturing = no certainty about which ILI was involved in the death. What we know for certain is that PCR only shows exposure. People are likely exposed to several different ILIs over the course of winter. Covid PCR is cycled much higher than other ILIs, so the likelihood of misdiagnosis as covid is very high. The same likelihood applies to population prevalence numbers.

      Of course, if virus has cleared (by the end of the early phase) and the immune system overreacts, there’s no way for the pathologist to determine which ILI was involved. So we need sampling of patients for viral culturing so that pathology studies will be more valuable.

    A quote from Dame Sarah Gilbert, one of the creators of the Oxford vaccine talking about relaxing restrictions in UK
    “Among the clinically extremely vulnerable, 94 per cent have had at least one vaccine dose and just over 90 per cent have had a second dose. However, the vaccine is likely to work somewhat less well in those with serious pre-existing conditions and the very elderly. For the immunocompromised or immunosuppressed, being vaccinated sometimes provides very little protection at all.”

    So why have they insisted that this is the way forward for the most vulnerable and the elderly? If it ‘sometimes provides very little protection at all’ why do the double vaxxers feel so confident?
    I’ve just been to a large event were everyone had to prove they were double vaxxed or had a negative lateral flow within 48 hours. I remarked to my husband that (if we believe the lateral flow shows anything) I was one of the minority at the event without Covid as all the double vacxed could be spreading at will and also , the double whammy, have very little protection according to someone who knows….!

      barovsky: It appears that the liability-free vaccines have killed far more than the ‘Rona ever did. If we be generous and assume VAERS picks up 5% of the ‘Ronavax deaths, the true figure would be more than 180,000 in seven months. Since, according to the CDC, only 5% of those with the ‘Rona on their death certificates were healthy people with no other contributing factor, that is a bit more than 30,000 actual ‘Rona deaths in about sixteen months. We do know that doctors only rarely make reports to VAERS, and some hospital administrators forbid them from doing so (even though under the law, the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, doctors are mandated to make such reports).

        Gary Ogden: Hmmm…. the real problem is ascertaining what the real numbers are but I think your 5% number is probably as near as given that it seems that the number of reported adverse reactions/deaths is anywhere between 1-10% and the European numbers tell us that at least 10,000 have died following innoculation. But what of the UK and it’s completely voluntary ‘Yellow Card’ reporting, not to mention the total suppression of any information that challenges the official narrative?

          barovski: My impression is that the Yellow Card system is just as flawed as VAERS. Both are voluntary, and both under-report deaths and injuries. With childhood vaccines VAERS picks up <1% of deaths and injuries. The 'Ronavaxes are under an entirely different program, although just as liability free. They were simply too incompetent to establish a system for reporting 'Ronavax deaths and injuries, so VAERS it is. There are plenty of honorable scientists working for the U.S. government, but at the management level and the level of political appointee they cannot be trusted. I hesitate to ascribe their motives to malice, but incompetence, greed, and an utter lack of moral compass surely fit the bill. An enormous red flag is their claim that there haven't been any vaccine deaths. None! But the honorable people in those agencies know damn well how deadly (and worthless) these vaxxes are. The intimidation factor against speaking up, though, is huge.

    From the Wired article:

    “At one point, Lidia Morawska, a revered atmospheric physicist who had arranged the meeting, tried to explain how far infectious particles of different sizes could potentially travel. One of the WHO experts abruptly cut her off, telling her she was wrong, Marr recalls. His rudeness shocked her. “You just don’t argue with Lidia about physics,” she says.”

    You don’t have to be a revered physicist to know that aerosols spread in indoor spaces. People walking about will help spread aerosols because they cause air movement, as will any heating or cooling. Then there is diffusion because of thermodynamics (which can be derived from quantum mechanics). Within an hour or so, the aerosol from one infected person will be well-distributed throughout a room, with hot spots and cold spots. Even a hack like me merely trained in physics will know this simple thing.

    If a virus is _very_ susceptible to oxygen, then aerosol spread is unlikely. That is not the case for SARS-COV-2, from what I have read.

    But infectious disease people think they know everything about viral spread and there is all the weight of the journal “evidence” (which assumes non-aerosol spread) obfuscating their vision.

      Based on fluid dynamics modelling, when you speak indoors, a plume of aerosol-containing hot air rises to the ceiling, moves about depending on ventilation flows, then cools and falls. This is how in restaurants, for instance, someone close to an infective person can escape infection, but someone far away gets infected.

        Whilst that has an element of truth, it’s over simplistic in a restaurant situation with doors to the exterior, kitchen and toilets opening and closing, heating, fans or air conditioning, lights and candles, waiters and customers moving around; the mixing is much more complex than can be modelled. Cinemas, theatres and groups watching Netflix maybe.

        The variability in infection is, IMO, much more likely to be due to individual immunity.

    STORY AT-A-GLANCE

    In an audio recording, a Moderna representative admits that everyone who gets a COVID injection is a participant in the trial. He also admits long-term protective efficacy against COVID-19 is unknown

    Animal research shows the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein subunit directly damages the heart and causes myocarditis by triggering an exaggerated immune response — a cytokine storm — in the heart cells

    The S1 subunit of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein activates NF-kB, a protein that controls not only the transcription of DNA but also cellular survival and cytokine production

    This disease process does not involve the ACE2 receptor but rather the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which is responsible for the detection of pathogens and the initiation of innate immune responses

    A new and strange pattern is emerging: Many who suffer serious side effects from the COVID shots have normal lab workups, which makes diagnosing and treatment difficult

    Presumably he did not add that, as far as Moderna is concerned, that is just fine. The corporation creams off massive profits, and no matter how many die as a result, governments have guaranteed them immunity.

    Unless, of course, the harm becomes so immense and unmistakable that governments feel the need to appease popular anger. In which case the corporations will quickly discover how mouch a government promise is worth. Or laws, for that matter.

      It’s not science itself that has become the new religion – it’s what is sometimes called “scientism”, which is similar to cargo cult practices. It is the use of fine talk about “science” to impose the wishes of dominant elites, while the majority of citizens are confused and baffled by clever talk and important-sounding titles. People like Ferguson, Vallance, Whitty and Fauci have truly become the high priests of a new religion – and in this context we would do well to recall the famous remark attributed to Denis Diderot: “Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest”. (Where Johnson and Biden are the new kings).

      Science itself has among its core values absolute disregard for any and all authorities, and a determination to find out for oneself. If that is not possible (as in the case of nuclear energy research, or gain-of-function research into dangerous viruses) true science requires complete openness and freedom of discussion.

          People who are obese are likely immune compromised to some degree. Fat soaks up vitamin D and that results in some degree of immune incompetency.

          Age, darker complexion, and obesity are red flags of being immune compromised.

          Older men and type 2 diabetics are at risk of zinc deficiency and being immune compromised from that.

          Those who are high risk for covid tend also to be high risk for vaxxes. Vaxxes have the added “feature” of being higher risk than covid for younger people.

        “highly likely”.

        You can stop there.

        That was the phrase used by Theresa May to claim that the Skripals were poisoned by Russia using “Novichok” nerve agent.

        About 12 miles away from Porton Down, the British government’s nerve agent research centre and factory.

        Craig Murray really nailed that.

      Silly article. There’s a moral imperative to carry rabbit feet because they just might protect us from covid, in the face of a lack of empirical evidence to the contrary. Argumentum ad absurdum carries the day.

      Asian mostly island countries controlled the spread. Florida did not and its economy beats all the asian economies that locked down and mandated masks.

      Peru mandated everything and is a basket case in every sense.

    From 6 minutes on = the most useful part. The Moderna rep. is rather more truthful than most politicians, as it’s their legal responsibility (politicians don’t seem to have any!)

    It looks rather as if the mouse experiments are being done after the human experiments. This is fully in line with the rat joke I heard a year ago, in which two rats agreed to wait to be jabbed until the human trials were over. Aarrgh.

    The interviewee seems to think that the design of the spike protein was deliberate. S * * *. She’s possibly not an expert on a level with Robert Malone, though.

    Hopefully others who are qualified and brave enough to step above the parapet can investigate and contribute. My experience is that cockups and corruption explain an awful lot in the human condition, just not all. Malone seemed to think that CDC and FDA are overworked and in chaos, causing some of the cockups, i.e. botched vaccine development.

    I’m tempted to think HART Group – with as many/more qualified members than SAGE – needs even more members to come up with an informed reaction to this fast-developing situation. Just maybe it can get occasional news into the Mail, where Toby Young writes. Or can it get any pieces into other papers which are read internationally, e.g. Japan Times, Times of India and I don’t think have been ‘bought’?

    The noose tightens:

    Covid tests will no longer be free, to coerce the unvaccinated into accepting jabs. With less than half of France fully vaccinated – far below the UK level and lower than many of France’s peer EU countries, and largely due to Macron’s government’s own ineptitude – vaccination will now be compulsory starting almost immediately for anyone working in hospitals. Then, for everyone working in care homes.

    In September, for everyone over 12, vaccines are to be rolled out for middle school and high-school pupils. And to mop up any resistance, health passports will become compulsory to get on buses or go to a restaurant. Reinforced frontier controls are to be introduced. The police will be unleashed from September to enforce the new rules.

    I agree that supplementation is essential for good health, and particularly to protect against this ‘virus’, or whatever it is.

    However, nobody is talking about the ‘missing mineral’, Magnesium.
    I had my eyes opened when I read ‘The Magnesium Miracle’ by Dr Carolyn Dean – she is, foremost, a nutritionist, subsequently training to become a doctor.

    Don’t be put off by the hyperbolic-sounding title: magnesium really is essential to hundreds of processes in the body and, according to the author, 70-80% of people are deficient.

    Many of its benefits have been known about for 100 years or longer: in 1915 French surgeon Pierre Delbet, who was looking for substances to use as antiseptics for soldiers’ wounds, discovered that magnesium chloride boosted white blood cells’ ability to kill pathogens by upto 300%. Delbet went on to conduct more research into magnesium, some of which is also covered in the book.

    Dr Dean believes that the only way to achieve a sufficient level is via supplementation (and not all Mg supplements are created equal). The RDA for men is 420mg per day, but she suggests that a level of 600mg is more appropriate. A sobering table of the quantities of individual foods that supply 420mg makes the case for supplementation, since it becomes obvious that it is impossible to achieve this through diet.

    She states that the ‘average’ diet contains only about half the magnesium that it would have done 100 years ago, and that the main reason for this is soil depletion, due mainly to use of potassium- and phosphorus-based fertilisers. This was flagged in 1938 by the US Senate, but it seems that nothing has ever been done to address it.

    Dean is not a magnesium researcher as such, but has studied and collated reports going back more than 100 years, and has seemingly joined the dots. Admittedly, her knowledge of the subject could leave some people ‘blinded by science’, but she has a good sense of how to explain the way magnesium works within the body.
    She is critical of the medical profession’s lack of training in nutrition, and particularly doctors’ ignorance of the importance of magnesium.

    This book is a fascinating read about how magnesium depletion can lead to a raft of diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, depression, Alzheimers, joint problems and hypertension.
    It is essential for the body to convert glucose into ATP, which is the body’s energy source, and is
    used up rapidly by stress, sugar, alcohol and prescription medications. If you take statins, or prescription drugs containing fluorine compounds, then the book should be of particular interest to you.

    But if you decide to buy it, get the 2nd edition, which is twice as thick as the first, and contains new sections.

        Dr Kendrick, I wonder if you have read Dr Stephanie Seneff’s recent book “Toxic Legacy”? She seems superbly qualified and very capable; her thesis is that (perhaps among other influences) glyphosate is causing a host of illnesses. Including, of course, cardiovascular diseases.

        Like Covid-19, glyphosate seems to amazingly well designed to harm human beings in scores of ways that one is tempted to wonder if it was designed to do so. But perhaps that is just a side effect of scientists desinging a poison to kill plants, and neglecting to make sure it doesn’t have a similar effect on animals.

        Reply
        1. Sasha

          I don’t think it was designed to kill plants. A compound similar to glyphosate was used as a metal-binding chelator to clean industrial pipes, then someone noticed that wherever that water was dumped, no plant would grow. They looked at what the active ingredient was and designed glyphosate based on that. Forgetting that a lot of enzymes activating gut bacteria need the same metals to function. Thus, it’s argued that glyphosate messes up your gut biome causing a host of problems. And I assume not only gut biome. Bacteria is everywhere on and in our bodies. A friend scraped her knee on glyphosate-treated tennis court and a simple scratch turned into a not healing, oozing wound. Took her body a month to heal it and created a big scar.

        Yes, Mg deficiency is likely a greater cause of heart disease than this cholesterol nonsense. Carolyn Dean points out that magnesium is a natural statin, in any case.

        I had a brother who was a heavy drinker all his life, and not one for following a healthy diet, so I imagine he didn’t have a great deal of magnesium in his system. He had to have a hip replacement, no doubt due to calcium loss, in the absence of Mg. During the operation he had a heart attack, and subsequently needed a quadruple bypass.

        And I was a ‘junkie’ because of my cannabis use.

        Hi AhNotepad, you’re welcome!

        You won’t regret buying it, but I would recommend reading it all first, instead of going to areas of interest: there is much relevant information that could be missed otherwise.

        Dr Dean looks at all the available supplements and rates them. She does heavily promote her own product – ReMag – which is able to be taken in ‘therapeutic’ quantities without causing the laxative effect that magnesium is capable of, but that is her prerogative, since it is her book. I have seen people in Amazon reviews criticising her for this, but she has, no doubt, helped many people who are not able to tolerate such a dose otherwise.

        The book has a section explaining the elemental magnesium content, and availability, of all the supplements. I decided to take magnesium chloride, which is what Pierre Delbet used, and is usually used in IV infusions (whenever any doctors in the NHS recognise the need for it). It is also the base for ReMag.

        Another good thing about it is that you can buy it cheaply online (I bought 5kg for £11). It is, however, hygroscopic, so it is important to keep it in an absolutely airtight container.

        Since Dr Dean informs that 500mg of MgCl provides 60mg of magnesium, I make up 100g of MgCl with water to 200ml, and keep it in a brown glass bottle.

        One teaspoon (5ml) of this thus contains 2.5g of MgCl, therefore 300mg of magnesium. I take a teaspoonful in a small amount of water twice a day.

        I actually started on a lower dose, since I did experience a mild laxative effect initially, but I think your body has to get used to receiving a greater amount than it has been. I now don’t have any problems in this respect.

      Soil depletion is a fascinating example of the harm done by foolish economic theories. For instance, take the word “fungible”. Economists like to use it, perhaps because it helps to show off their superior learning. It means that two things are interchangeable for some purposes.

      Economists and business managers propose that food is fungible. An apple is an apple is an apple; two steaks are much the same; etc.

      Nothing could be further from the truth. 50 years ago, Adele Davis asked – in the title of one of her chapters – “Which Apricot? Grown Where?” She also described research that found some ornages – which looked and tasted perfectly normal – had absolutely no Vitamin C.

      The list goes on… and on. Meat, milk and eggs from animals kept in factory farms and fed sludge may look OK, but doesn’t nourish you as well as proper food. It may even gradually poison you.

      Failing to maintain the soil is just yet another form of corporate asset-stripping – only, instead of just stealing people’s money, it is stealing the basis of life from us and our children.

        (I posted this originally at 2pm, but it seems to have disappeared, so here’s another attempt)

        Thanks, Jennifer. I have been reading Dr Kendrick’s blog since last October, when I saw his article on RT, but this is the first time I have commented.

        I have been taking 600mg of magnesium daily for about 18 months (coincidentally, just before this nonsense started kicking off).

        At 67, I am fortunate in never having had any health concerns, despite having been a heavy smoker for more than 40 years (I managed to stop 7 years ago when my niece gave me a vapouriser ‘pen’, although I am still addicted to nicotine).

        I haven’t visited a GP in more than 9 years, and in the previous 20 years just 4 or 5 times, for antibiotics, when I acquired a chest infection. The last one I got (before I stopped smoking) I cured myself in about a week, after discovering how to prepare garlic as an antibiotic/antiviral.

        Although previously I was probably deficient in magnesium, I feel that a healthier diet over the past 30 years, including nuts and seeds, and minimal alcohol consumption, has enabled me to at least maintain a functional level, in order to protect against diabetes, arterio-/atherosclerosis, and any number of other ailments (three years ago, I did take up an invitation for an AAA scan, which returned a normal result of 1.7cm).

        However, I have noticed improvements to my ‘vitality’ since starting supplementing, such as being able to *run (* I would have put this in italics) up the two flights of stairs to my flat without becoming breathless! (Yes, magnesium even helps breathing issues).

        Another is the improvement in my hair. I have had hair loss over the years, mainly from the front, and I feel that at some times areas have recovered, and regrown to some extent. But about 5 years ago I developed a bare patch on my crown, about 3cm in diameter. This has now grown back. Although Dr Dean doesn’t talk about hair loss, she attributes many problems to excess calcium – due to not having enough magnesium to put it into the bones and muscles – causing calcification [hearing loss; arteriosclerosis; bladder problems, etc] in tissues. My hair is generally healthier, and feels thicker than it was before.

        The good thing is, it is possible to reverse calcification to some extent by taking what Dr Dean calls a ‘therapeutic dose’, i.e. more than the body needs to perform vital functions: the excess Mg ‘mops up’ the calcification. I believe that is what happened in my case, because that is my most recent hair loss, and the calcification in the local tissues probably wasn’t as advanced as in previous hair loss.

        Despite my enthusiasm, I am still unable to convince my partner. She is a cancer survivor, and has had two jabs, unfortunately. Although she has raised blood pressure, experiences leg cramps, had to have a cataract operation this year (and likely will need another), has hearing loss, anxiety, and problems with sleeping/energy levels, I can’t get her to understand that these are all most likely caused by her being deficient in magnesium.

    From July 21, a health pass including a government QR code will be necessary for those over the age of 12 to access bars, restaurants, cinemas, gyms, swimming pools, museums, shopping centers, and any other venues capable of holding at least 50 people. Employees of these venues are included, if they want to keep their jobs.

    The government will issue people a QR code to activate the pass by only two means: pricey PCR or antigenic nose-swab tests that Macron says will have to be paid out of pocket starting in October, or a full course of two jabs of the Covid-19 vaccination, which he also said will be the subject of a new round of third doses, starting in September.

    What’s particularly stunning is that there is little recognition of acquired immunity – as though our immune systems are virtually useless. There is no way for someone who has recovered from Covid-19 to obtain a QR code as the result of a blood test proving the presence of adequate post-infection antibodies conferring immunity. The government considers their naturally acquired protection invalid and wants those who already have proven antibodies to take at least one dose of the vaccine.

    So many vaccinated people treat the unvaccinated as Typhoid Mary types who are breeding out viruses that will kill them with Covid-19.

    But wait…

    We know that plenty of vaccinated people get infected. A vaccinated person will have got infected with one of the rare variants that has adapted to evade the vaccination. While they are infected, they are breeding billions more of these vaccine-evading viroids and spreading them about.

    Meanwhile the unvaccinated who are infected are breeding and spreading viroids which don’t need the vaccine-evading property to infect them, so they probably can’t infect the vaccinated.

    We can conclude therefore that THE GREATEST DANGER TO VACCINATED INDIVIDUALS IS OTHER VACCINATED INDIVIDUALS..

    The Graphene Oxide story came from these Spanish researchers (first link below). They claim deliberate GO poisoning is the root cause of BOTH COVID-19 and why the vaccines are so dangerous. They are not claiming 100% verification that the COVID vaccines are mostly GO, but they say that all testing so far indicates this. I’m waiting for someone to independently verify this before I’m sold on it- but the symptoms of GO poisoning (blood clots) are incredibly similar to COVID-19.

      I hope that these predictions are wrong as my husband has been double-whammied and I’ve been trying to look after his health for years; I don’t really want him to expire in the next couple of years because of a totally unnecessary treatment.

      On a different note; I’ve heard that a young man we know well will not stay with us as I am not ‘protected’ and therefore am a risk to him and his friends. The brainwashing shows no end. It doesn’t matter how many times I raise questions about ‘cases’, PCR tests and co-morbidity and point people in the direction of this site and John Dee’s Almanac; HART and Doctors4Covidethics, I am met with ‘why is it that most of the doctors and scientists support the grovernment? They can’t be wrong.’ I think that I might expire in a couple of years from sheer frustration and a burst blood vessel when I have to listen to Tony Bloody Blair. Why is there no legal challenge to all of this? Will I be unable to eat out, drink out or travel? This is against International law as I understand it yet the government is acting illegally with impunity. Who will stand up for us who will not be part of an experiment?

      I’m trying to hold on to my temper now that there are moves to vaccinate 12-15 year-olds. This is an extra level of criminality. (A friend told me, with great pleasure, that her 18-year-old grandson had managed to get a jab; he has no health issues -yet.). This is madness!

    Interesting article here. Plandemic or Conspiracy theory ? Enjoy …
    Neville Hodgkinson’s revelations about the 20-year trail of patent applications uncovered by Dr David Martin (not medical doctor) which strongly suggests that the coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 is man-made.

    “Another important date, Martin said, is June 5, 2008. This was around the time when the Defence Advanced Research Programme (DARPA) in the US took an interest in coronavirus as a biological weapon. It was also the date when a drug company, now part of the Paris-based pharma giant Sanofi, filed a series of patents targeting genes that 12 years later are said to be the novel features of SARS-COV-2 that make it a health hazard for humans.”

    “if you actually take what they report to be novel, you find 73 patents, issued between 2008 and 2019, which have the elements which are allegedly novel in SARS-COV-2.”

    “We are injecting a spike protein RNA sequence, which is a computer simulation of a sequence which has been known and patented for years.”

    “Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (who collaborated with the laboratory in Wuhan, China, in the coronavirus ‘gain of function’ work) along with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Moderna, began the sequencing of a spike protein vaccine in November 2019, a month before the Wuhan outbreak happened. ”

    “the evidence makes it abundantly clear that there has been no effort by any pharmaceutical company to combat the virus. This is about getting people injected with the known-to-be harmful spike protein”

            I am on your side but do take in to account that the vaccinated outnumber the unvaccinated about 4 or 5 to 1.
            So my conclusion is the vaccines do not work, well, not for the supposed purpose anyway, but do not make you more susceptible to COVID.
            My speculation is the vaccines do two things:
            1) enable the vaccine passports and so a vast digital data base and complete population monitoring.
            2) I do not know but I am sure it is nefarious

            This though is only phase 1, phase 2 is financial collapse, i.e. the implosion of the worlds fraudulent monetary system. This will be followed by a government digital currency and The Great Reset. Your cash savings and much else will simply disappear. Even fewer people understand the world’s fraudulent monetary system than the COVID hoax so there will be no resistance.

            Robert,

            Governments that are in control of their currencies can always create more money. If government’s debt is denominated in the currency it controls, it can always be paid. I believe that’s the case for all major currencies: dollar, euro, yen, correct?

            That’s why I don’t understand why people say that US government, for example, can default…

    Dr Kendrick, would you like to offer your opinion on whether heavy drinking and smoking are good for combating graphene oxide?
    https://archive.is/AvyoQ
    “You can protect yourself against GO by taking readily available L-glutathione supplements. The body naturally produces an enzyme called myeloperoxidase, commonly known as glutathione, or L-glutathione, an antioxidant which is very effective in breaking down GO. Surprisingly, ethanol and nicotine degrade graphene. Alcohol will biodegrade GO, and nicotine can help to increase the enzyme, so if you can’t find L-glutathione supplements, take up heavy drinking and smoking instead.”

    That info was based on this Spanish article and video:

    Looks like there were another 2k deaths added to VAERS for the week prior.

    To get fatality rate perspective, you need to know the number of jabs. In the States, 150 million had 2 covid jabs and 20 million only one. The number of other vaccines looks like around 300 million per year, per HRSA.

    Click to access data-statistics-report.pdf

    From the gateway graph, it looks like all other vaccines combined total about 300 deaths per year, or 1 death per million.

    Covid jab mortality numbers look to be 60 deaths per million. Perhaps 5x more than reported so far, based on the unknown “bag” of deaths. And we are still counting.

The level of censorship around coronavirus is shocking (yet stuff that is truely shocking is allowed – I used to use Twitter for health / nuitrition but all of those accounts are moved to a sub-folder and its the coronavirus ones that I check in on). People quoting government figures get flagged as Tweets being misleading (Fat Emperor having one of his videos recently flagged & which quoted only gov’t official data) (Ivor reads this blog – it is a shame that the likes of him, & Zoe H, who used to provide the odd comment no longer do so).
          Yes it is sad that people seem to be addicted to their masks – I did cycle to Aldi last night (19th), & earlier than I normally go, to see what it would be like with masks. About a quarter were maskless which made a change from it normally being me only (plus a couple of staff having them under chin). Let’s hope more people have confidence to ditch theirs seeing others, through I fear this is going to be shortlived for a low number of weeks.

    You have to hand it to the authorities. They have managed, quite inadvertently, to do something previously thought impossible. They have wiped out influenza and the common cold. And they have done it without any specific medication or vaccine.

    A bit more number crunching… They are vaccinating people who have had Covid and who are therefore naturally immune. So the vaccine will pick up a bit of extra credit because natural immunity will sometimes fill in where the vaccine failed to provide immunity.

    Sucking some numbers out of my thumb, assume the claimed efficacy of the vaccine is 75%, and 40% of the population being jabbed is or was infected.

    The resultant vaccine efficacy will be 0.75 + 0.4 – (0.75 x 0.4) = 0.85 i.e.85% efficacy, an apparent 10% improvement.

    The ever-increasing number of previously infected persons might explain why the vaccine seems to be improving, see above calculation https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2021/06/28/covid19-the-final-nail-in-coffin-of-medical-research/#comment-228608

      I think that this is why the rollout was timed to come out in Jan. after the US had already achieved herd immunity.

      The narrative was that the vaccine didn’t show effectiveness at preventing transmission–only at reducing symptom severity, while the studies were used as evidence that the vaccine prevented transmission so that the vaccine could get the EUA. There was no evidence of reduction in symptom severity. Pharma made cover for the vaxxes.

      You have to give pharma credit for a solid, effective plan based on deceit and manipulation.

    To be charitable, there seem enough reports circulating to suggest that perhaps the quality control of these rushed products hasn’t been adequate. Could unexpectedly high concentrations of the active ingredients explain some bad reactions?

    As for magnetic ingredients, perhaps in some but not all batches, well how lucky I am to be a sceptical scientist with a suspicion of ‘officialdom’. I now fear for my friends’ health. The majority have taken the treatment.

      The mRNA strands in the vaccine are supposed to be all identical copies of the designed sequence, but they are not. The initial doses which were used for testing were about 80% pure strands, the balance was fragments of mRNA or sometimes joined-together strands of mRNA. With mass production such close quality control is not achievable and the mRNA strands are about 60% pure sequence, the rest is mRNA garbage which is harmless, we are assured. (Yeah, right.)

      All vaccine ingredients are published on government websites. Whether what they put in your arm is the same as the published ingredients, who knows?

        Martin Back: Thanks. Even the manufacturers don’t know all of what is in their vaccine “products.” And certainly each lot is different. We do know from the childhood vaccine program in the U.S. that there are “hot lots,” individual lots which produce higher rates of adverse events. This is why manufacturers are allowed to break up lots of vaccines and ship them to different parts of the country, unlike any other pharmaceutical product. That way, there is less likelihood of a danger signal from them. Part of the sweep it under the rug approach.

        “I think one of the major problems with vaccines is that they’re grown in animal tissues and we don’t know what viruses and pathogens are coming back in the needle. A recent inquiry in December 2018 by the Italian lab, Corvela, on the GlaxoSmithKline vaccine Priorix Terta highlights troubling problems that our technology can now uncover but that few seem to have the courage to investigate. Translated from the Italian, the report finds:

        “We have continued the investigation, both chemical and biological, on the Priox Tetra, quadrivalent against measles, rubella, mumps, and varicella. We have found . . . proteobacteria and nematoda worms, 10 other viruses through ssRNA, Microviridae (bacterial or phage viruses) and numerous retroviruses including endogenous human and avian retroviruses, avian viruses, human immunodeficiency and immunodeficiency virus of monkeys (fragments that if inserted into the database detect fragments of HIV and SIV), murine virus, horse infectious anemia virus, lymphoproliferative disease virus, Rous sarcoma virus, alphaendornavirus, hepatitis B virus, and yeast virus…

        “If you eliminate the animal tissue, that leaves aborted human fetal tissue, and I think there are significant moral and scientific issues with what happens on a genetic level when you inject human tissue into the bloodstream. Then you get to the issue of chemicals in the vaccines, like mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80, and a host of others, and it begins to look like a witch’s brew that would only be given to children in some demented fairy tale”.

    Just like Bossche predicted

    Reports of COVID breakthrough cases continue to rise — as of July 12, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 5,492 breakthrough cases resulting in death and hospitalization.

    A breakthrough case refers to anyone who is diagnosed with COVID after being fully vaccinated. A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccine, or two weeks after receiving the single-dose Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine.

      Remember that the evidence is so corrupted that it is hard to know how what those ‘breakthrough cases’ really mean. The could represent one or more of the following:

      1) The vaccines are less effective than we are lead to believe.

      2) The PCR test almost certainly throws up false positives, so these could be just that.

      3) People are deemed to have died of COVID if they test positive, and then die within 28 days. As we all know that leaves scope for people to actually die of something else – particularly if they are already in hospital.

GAVI has nation state status in Switzerland, and now has effective control over the messages WHO publishes. Ehtics has entirely gone out of the calculus. The entire purpose of this plandemic is to sell vastly more vaccines. Bill Gates has made, and is continuing to make, a fortune from vaccine sales. But his motivation is not just money.

        Because this sucker is going exponential:

        I belong to a large non-public alumni group of my residency program that has literally thousands of IM docs all over America. The first thing a scientist does is to confirm that your observations are general or something you are just seeing. It was quickly obvious from that group that I was far from alone despite the “minimal breakthrough cases” media narrative.

        So, then you do everything you can to hypothesize reasons why you are seeing what you are. I have been a physician for 30 years and that experience plays a huge role as well. Having this gigantic number of breakthrough cases just simply does not happen. I continue to see more than half the cases in vaccinated patients and so do many others.

    The NHS data on hospitalization is hospitalization for any reason within 28 days of a positive test. It would be nice to know if it was for treatment of a Covid-related condition, say e.g. needed oxygen/anticoagulants/steroids, which seem to be the signature Covid-related treatments.

    Similarly, one would like to know if treatment was for a vaccination adverse condition, but I don’t know if there are any specific treatments one might look out for.

    Covid vaccines are going to be like antibiotics — there will be an everlasting arms race to develop new vaccines as the virus learns how to outwith the old viruses.

    It follows therefore that we should use vaccines like they use antibiotics, i.e. dish them out sparingly only to those most at risk, and if they get infected, isolate them until all their viruses are dead so that they don’t shed resistant viruses into the community. Tough on the individual, but best for the community, because it ensures there is always an effective vaccine available..

    ‘VACCINES’ – WHAT A RIPOFF!

    This from the latest Swiss Policy Research essay:

    In the UK, which has primarily used the AstraZeneca DNA adenovector vaccine, the latest estimate by researchers at the University College London indicates an effectiveness against infection of close to 0% and an effectiveness against severe disease of about 60%. In very senior citizens, the effectiveness against severe disease may be even lower (due to a weaker immune response).

    (A substantially higher estimate by Public Health England, recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, was based on outdated data from early June. Interestingly, the British government hasn’t updated its data on AstraZeneca vaccine effectiveness since June 13.)

    The Israeli data shown above indicates that effectiveness against infection and symptoms decreases rapidly over time and reaches near-zero levels after about half a year. Most likely, this is because covid vaccines do not achieve mucosal immunity (in contrast to natural infection) and serum antibody levels (i.e. antibodies in the blood) decrease within months.

    Thus, the false promise of very high protection against “symptomatic infection”, found during official vaccine trials, was simply based on very high short-term serum antibody levels mimicking mucosal immunity. The pharmaceutical companies probably even knew that this was just a (very lucrative) “flash in the pan” and not a lasting protective effect.

      The upshot, if that’s what it can be called; is that in countries with high rates of ‘vaccination’ (very few), fewer people will die or end up in hospital, but the ‘vaccine’ eventually has ZERO effect! Worse still, the ‘vaccinated’ still have no protection against the virus and all are infectious! So fewer people died (from the virus) but how many have died from the ‘vaccine’? With 100s of 1000s suffering serious ‘adverse’ effects and 10s of 1000s dying from these ‘adverse effects’, it’s clear, these vaccines are dangerous and should never have been used!

    Here is a thought-provoking post from someone called TJN on Lockdown Sceptics suggesting that vaccines are helping, but through the back door………

    An apology.

    Like many other scurrilous and anti-science anti-vaxxers here and elsewhere, I had supposed that the rona vaccines, because they do not promote mucosal antibodies, do not actually contribute to herd immunity.
    I should have thought more broadly, and resisted jumping to conclusions so as to indulge my own confirmation bias.
    It is now becoming abundantly clear that the vaccines actually increase the chances of developing at least mild forms of covid (anecdotal evidence, e.g. Piers Morgan, Owen Jones, Andrew Marr, Savid Javid … ), and apparently increase the chances of spreading it on (e.g. higher viral load for given symptom load in the vaccinated).
    It is thus now obvious to me that, by encouraging the development and spread of the disease, the vaccines are indeed doing a great deal to contribute towards herd immunity.
    I am happy to clarify my view on this, and apologise for any previous ill-bred comments along the lines of ‘these jabs do FA for covid’; ‘what a waste of time’; ‘there’s no point in getting the goo; ‘why enter the National Clottery when It Could Be You?’ …

    About the French Guyana paper from the CDC

    This is how science – the actual process – not the Fauci version – should be working.

    I have repeatedly stated that I am seeing much much more vaccinated positives than one would ever have expected. As I have stated, they seem to be much sicker (though not critically so) and they tend to happen in clusters. For the past two months, this has stuck out from the dominant media narrative. I have never had to fight the cognitive dissonance between the media and my own eyeballs in my life.

    I belong to a large non-public alumni group of my residency program that has literally thousands of IM docs all over America. The first thing a scientist does is to confirm that your observations are general or something you are just seeing. It was quickly obvious from that group that I was far from alone despite the “minimal breakthrough cases” media narrative.

    So, then you do everything you can to hypothesize reasons why you are seeing what you are. I have been a physician for 30 years and that experience plays a huge role as well. Having this gigantic number of breakthrough cases just simply does not happen. I continue to see more than half the cases in vaccinated patients and so do many others. UNHEARD OF IN VACCINES BEFORE NOW.

    Part of hypothesizing why is looking to the literature for evidence. Seldom is this found in RCT at this stage. Case reports and series like this paper are critical. They are seeing the same breakthrough ratio. And they have done a lot more viral research than you can. This is a gold mine for my own questions.

    Is there anything in the paper that could possibly explain what I am seeing. Lots of times, it is not in the headline part but in all the test results and discussion. And yes, there is a very important finding deep in the results.

    Why would clustering and sicker patients be so much more common in the breakthrough patients – there must be a reason for that?

    If you look at the brief discussion of cT or cycle threshold you will see that the vaccinated patients have a SIGNIFICANTLY lower cT than the unvaccinated. That is the way the PCR test works. It basically means the vaccinated have a much higher amount of viral active particles than the unvaccinated. That would account for the breakthroughs I and my colleagues are seeing being a bit more ill. And it would explain the clustering. THe vaccinated breakthroughs have much higher viral load so they are much more contagious and the higher viral load makes them more symptomatic.

    So we now have a suggestion and strong evidence that the vaccinated population may be spreading much more virus than the unvaccinated. I would say that is a critical public health issue and must be further researched immediately.

    This Certainly needs much more work. THis is not confirmatory of any conclusions. But it is consistent with observation on the ground – unlike most of what the media has been spewing to the American people. But this is how science works. This paper is about the gamma variant but a conference yesterday with experts discussed that similar findings were being found in delta and lambda. The suggestion in this paper is now on the front of my mind. I am even now thinking of ways to confirm or falsify these conclusions going forward. This is science.

    Another issue. The writers make the point that the breakthrough rate is extremely divergent from the expected rate. The difference is this paper documents what is happening in REAL LIFE. So much of what we are hearing on our media about vaccine efficacy is research being done in vitro. It is presented as gospel truth. I just want to scream.

      Doesn’t this depend on which fragment of RNA is being used in the PCR tests? I mean if the PCR test is using a string from the spike protein gene, of course there will be a lot of it – simply because vaccinated people have mRNA injected into them!

      Or am I missing the point?

    From a hospital email to an employee, most covid cases now are the vaccinated, despite the county having about a 50% rate of vaccinated. Most hospital cases are not severe (admitted for observation and released within 3 days) and a higher percentage are younger now (30s and 40s). This medium-size hospital is in my county.

    Just one hospital in a large county. It could be a fluke.

    IM Doc again, later in the same thread from naked capitalism:

    July 24, 2021 at 12:13 pm

    For several weeks – dating back to mid May – I was seeing groups of fully vaccinated patients becoming positive – but asymptomatic. Most of these situations arose because one member of the family or group was found to be positive because of foreign travel – or having surgery or whatever.

    As this became more and more common – I began to be very concerned about what the future may hold. And the Health Department and CDC were just ambivalent.

    The guidance of the local health department was to ignore this – “they are vaccinated – there is no way they can spread, etc.”. Just as the CDC guidance was telling them to do. I do not much like to have armed nuclear warheads sitting around, and I am very persistent – so I ordered the contact tracing on my own – every close family member or close contact was checked. And to my absolute horror – large clusters of them were positive. But at that time, they were asymptomatic- almost every single one. I have been dutifully reporting these numbers to Yves and Lambert for weeks.

    Then about a month ago – something changed. People were then starting to become ill – and come to clinical attention that way. There were no longer just the asymptomatic patients. And again – on my own – ordered the contact tracing – and found the same thing. Multiple vaccinated family members positive. Multiple bridge group members positive. Multiple church members positive, etc etc. And lately – socials around the July 4th weekend were also clustered. At that point in time – there was no one sick enough to be in the hospital. But the vaccinated positives were clearly more ill than the unvaccinated positives. Heavier coughs, more SOB, more febrile. This included even the younger ones among them. But again – no one sick enough to be hospitalized.

    And then – this week – we have had a seismic shift. We have admitted multiple very ill vaccinated patients – two of which were critically ill. At the same time – we are admitting unvaccinated patients as well. Some of them too are now very ill. We have had deaths this week – all of those patients were unvaccinated. But I am not holding my breath – we now have two critically ill vaccinated patients that I am not sure are going to make it. I do not have the best handle on these situations this week because I am in quarantine. But right at this minute – we have more COVID patients in the hospital since January – and it is right at 50/50 vaccinated/unvaccinated – and I would say they are equally ill.

    It has been fascinating to watch this very orderly step up in severity over time. And then this week the bottom dropped out. And I live in a very vaccinated county – the paper reported this AM a 72% vaccination rate. The only stragglers were the 12-18 group which is below 50. The “herd immunity” concept is certainly not working here. And the local medical folks are just horrified that this is getting this bad after working so hard for this really good vaccination rate. It is reminding me greatly of the ramp up we had last summer – it is almost the same in every way – except it got much worse much quicker. I am hoping it will burn out – but not looking like that so far.

    I will share something else. I have a very small limited patient size – I am in a small town. But I am very attentive to media reports of numbers from other locations. Big cities and big sample sizes give perspective. When I heard last weekend that there were ZERO vaccinated patients in the hospitals in LA – I grew immediately concerned – because that was not our experience at all – It is basically a WHAT HAVE WE DONE WRONG MOMENT….

    So I called three of my old students who are now on the front lines in the LA area – to the one – the response was “I have not a clue what they are talking about – that is just not true…”. Among the three of them the averages they were seeing were about 75% – 85% unvaccinated in the hospital – and all had had very ill vaccinated patients. I did not feel so bad then. But My God, the media cannot be trusted with a single god-damn thing. I have never seen such a bunch of liars in my lifetime. It is a real tragedy – when we need them the most they are doing propaganda. And do not even get me started on the Health Dept people who are misleading the population like this.

    ‘Unnecessary, Misleading, Catastrophic’: Senior European Physicians Co-author Expert Statement on COVID Vaccine for Children

    Eminent European physicians and scientists this month co-authored an expert statement regarding Comirnaty–COVID-19 mRNA vaccine for children, outlining their expert opinions that “vaccination of adolescents for COVID-19 is unnecessary, claims demonstrating efficacy are misleading, and the safety profiles are catastrophic.”
    /../
    Section 1 seeks to show that vaccinating adolescents for COVID-19 is unnecessary, because

    in this age group the disease is almost always mild and benign;
    for the rare clinical cases that require it, treatment is readily available;
    immunity to the disease is now widespread, due to prior infection with the virus (SARS-CoV-2) or with other coronavirus strains; and
    asymptomatic adolescents will not transmit the disease to other individuals who might be at greater risk of infection.

    A last word of caution to all those pretending the Covid-19 pandemic is toning down
    Synopsis

    The current expansion in prevalence of infectious Sars-CoV-2 variants is highly problematic because it erodes natural Ab-based, variant-nonspecific immunity in the non-vaccinated part of the population. The high infectivity rate that results from this expansion not only further enhances the expansion of these variants but may also drive natural selection of viral variants that are featured by an even higher level of infectiousness.

    Erosion, therefore, of natural Ab-based, variant-nonspecific immunity promotes breeding and transmission of more infectious viral variants in the non-vaccinated part of the population. On the other hand, mass vaccination promotes natural selection of increasingly vaccine immunity (VI)-escaping variants in the vaccinated part of the population.

    Taken together, mass vaccination conducted on a background of high infectivity rates enables more infectious, increasingly VI-escaping variants to expand in prevalence. This evolution inevitably results in inclining morbidity rates in both, the non-vaccinated and vaccinated population and precipitates the emergence of circulating viral variants that will eventually fully resist vaccine-mediated immunity (VMI).

    This is why mass vaccination campaigns should not be conducted during a pandemic of a highly mutable virus, let alone during a pandemic of more infectious variants (unless transmission-blocking vaccines are used!). It is critical to understand that a rapid decline in viral infectivity rates that is not achieved by natural infection but merely results from expedited mass vaccination campaigns will only delay abrupt propagation of emerging, fully vaccine-resistant viral variants and hence, only delay the occurrence of a high wave of morbidity and mortality.

    In contrast, mass vaccination campaigns that are progressing more slowly, especially when conducted on a background of relatively low infectious pressure, will result in a steadily growing propagation of increasingly VI-escaping variants and hence, cause a wave of morbidity and mortality that continues to grow bigger and larger as more and more people become vaccinated. It’s only when fully vaccine-resistant viral variants will become dominant that this wave will start to peak.

          WOW
          He lost me at ‘The new variants are a production and result from the vaccination’. Unless I’m mistaken, all the current VOCs have been circulating science before vaccination begun. I think that we all know that new mutations (and new variants) are the product of infection, especially in patients with weak immune systems. I would love to see his research backing up this hypothesis, or showing the ADE he talks about (https://rairfoundation.com/bombshell-nobel-prize-winner-reveals-covid-vaccine-is-creating-variants/).

          As for ‘the curve of vaccination is followed by the curve of deaths’, I guess that medical research is dead, and all we need now is ‘Post hoc ergo propter hoc’ as a basis for a hypothesis. Who needs data, analysis or proof?

            Thank you – I don’t think that I would find a better example of ‘Post hoc ergo propter hoc’ (Since event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X). Dr Gérard Delépine has unequivocally proven Dr. Kendrick right – There is a lack of high quality research and no lack of low quality publications (this isn’t even a scientific paper).
            Are these serious ‘Country Case Studies’? Where is the analysis? Where is his proof?
            All I see if a timeline of the pandemic (well known to anyone who can read) and an interesting hypothesis (also known).
            As for Dr. Vanden Bossche, does he have any proof of ‘Suppression of innate immunity’ by vaccination? If this is true – wouldn’t it hold for all vaccines? How does the rapid spread change the equation? Wouldn’t this be proof that lockdowns are the only way to slow the rise in fatality?
            As for my favorite line, ‘why does nobody seem to bother about viral immune escape? – as if any talks (any tweets or writes) about anything else.

      Van Den Bossche postulates the following (you may have read it in the post from Fast Eddy if you had the patience): “The self-amplifying cycle of enhanced viral infectiousness ….. would only come to an end when the population density is diluted down to a level low enough for viral transmission …… to substantially diminish.”

      20th century history should remind us that this is not a new concept in population dynamics. However – for us in the UK – it is very unlikely that mass vaccination will come to a screeching halt any time soon. So we are all doomed anyway, and if this does not “dilute the population density”, our friend Geert has another (but different) mass vaccination strategy up his sleeve, he tells us!

        The UK will be rolling out 32M booster shots shortly…

        I am thinking … the initial injections have – as Bossche and Montagnier predicted in March … created variants that are vaccine resistant… the boosters will be like throwing petrol on a fire that is just kicking off… or like giving the virus anabolic steroids.

        If the vaccines are doing what they are supposed to do then one wonders… why are they rapidly rolling out the booster shots in the UK and Israel…

        Obviously this is all part of a plan to create a nightmare virus

    I believe it really does come down to those who have declined to be ‘vaccinated’ making sure that they keep their immune system strong.

    My partner accuses me of thinking I am invincible, yet I am never ill, and haven’t even had so much as a cold (a coronavirus) in the past 10 years. I also believe that I have never had the flu in my lifetime. And I have never even considered having the flu jab.

    Because my partner had chemotherapy in 2019, she was deemed to be vulnerable by her employers (she is a palliative care nurse) when this thing emerged last year, and was ordered to ‘shield’. Fortunately, from a logistics viewpoint – and my NHS-no-engagement integrity – we do not live together.

    For three months, about every 8-10 days I would do a food shop for her, and take it round. This involved queueing outside whichever shop or supermarket for upto an hour, and I would usually visit two or three outlets each time. I was also doing my own shopping on different occasions. All within a heavily-populated area of Kent, and with people (despite all the distancing hype put out) standing as close as 1 foot behind me. And this was before masks. I never had so much as a cough, sneeze, headache or whatever other bizarre symptom they claimed.

    When this thing started, I really felt that it had nothing to do with me, and that I was standing looking through a window at scenes of madness. I still feel that way.

    In those early months, I did take the precaution of dosing myself with garlic before and after trips out. I discovered about 10 years ago how to prepare garlic as an antibacterial/antiviral agent: if you chop it small, or crush it, and leave it for about 15 minutes, an enzymatic reaction takes place, which converts alliin into allicin. As I don’t particularly like the taste of garlic, I swirl it around in a small amount of water and drink it straight down. I know this works, from my experience years ago with my last chest infection (and making my partner take it when she acquired a viral chest infection during her chemo [with a useless, nonchalant response from NHS], and was – I honestly believe – dying. But that’s another story). [I stayed with her most of the time she was being treated].

    Also, around this time, I did a lot of searching for ways to boost the immune system. I don’t have any links to what I read, but I decided to add 200mcg of selenium to the magnesium, vitC, vitD and zinc I was already taking.

    However, I believe the best thing anybody can do (after taking enough magnesium) is ensuring that their microbiome – the gut bacteria – is healthy. I make my own kefir, and drink about a pint every day. I also make my own sauerkraut. I have been doing this for about 3 years, and no longer suffer with the stomach cramps from ‘irritable bowel syndrome’ that I used to get when I was living my hectic pre-retirement lifestyle.

    Another gripping book I have read in the past few years – ‘Brain Maker’ by Dr David Perlmutter – really convinced me of the importance of a healthy microbiome. He has written others on this subject which I haven’t read, but here he shows how it is important not just to the body’s functioning, but also with regard to mental and neurological health.

    I also read that the microbiome constitutes 80% of the immune system.

    So, it’s really no surprise to me that so many people are having such problems with whatever is going around ‘out there’.

    I wouldn’t look at a fizzy drink, yet millions are gulping down several cans every day. If they contain sugar, then this is going to rapidly deplete their magnesium levels (I think it takes something like 56 molecules – atoms? – of magnesium to process 1 molecule of sugar). If their fizzy drink of choice contains artificial sweeteners, then this is going to damage their microbiome (a link, at last) https://neurosciencenews.com/artificial-sweetener-microbiome-9935/

    There is an incredible amount of junkfood advertising on tv, and elsewhere (did somebody say just eat JUNK ???). I imagine that consumption increased substantially during lockdown, and I believe that Dominos have made record profits this year.

    I must apologise for such a long-winded, self-indulgent comment, not addressed specifically to you, Fast Eddy, but if it can help anybody to strengthen their resistance I’m sure it’s worth it. I also don’t want to come across as smug, especially to those of you who really do suffer with health issues. Just telling it as I see it.

      My diet is similar. I make my own sourdough bread, sauerkraut, and kvass. The only supplement I take is vitamin D3. For vitamin C, one or two oranges a day; for selenium, brazil nuts in a pesto with raw garlic, herbs, and sprouted lentils; for magnesium, Dr Davis’s magnesium water made from milk of magnesia and soda water. Vitamin D is fat-soluble so I take it with amasi (sour milk, made for the african market, similar to yoghurt).

      I’m pretty sure I caught the Delta variant about four weeks ago. Three days of very bunged-up sinuses and a very runny nose with loss of energy but no sore throat or loss of taste or smell. The runny nose persisted for about two weeks, and the loss of energy for another two. I’m fine now. At the time, I took aspirin, lots of water, rested, and isolated. No idea how I got infected. Probably from shopping or public transport.

        I had a go at making sourdough bread once, but wasn’t successful at it. I do sprout seeds sometimes, usually alfalfa. I haven’t tried sprouting lentils, but I have a really good recipe for a red lentil and tomato soup.

        But my staple fermented foods are sauerkraut and kefir, which are dead easy. I would like to have a go at making kimchi though, as I like spicy foods.

        I had to look up kvass. It sounds interesting, and I’m wondering if it would be a good accompaniment to a curry. Usually, my only alcohol intake is a bottle of cold beer when I have a ‘ruby’. There is a Polish food shop nearby where I used to buy kefir and sauerkraut before I started making my own, so I imagine they would sell it.

        I take it you didn’t get a covid test, then? Good move! As well as avoiding the ‘vaccines’ I have also managed to avoid having to have a test. Glad you’re feeling better.

          No, I didn’t get the test. At first I thought I had an ordinary cold, it was only later when I learned what the symptoms of the Delta variant were that I suspected it was the Delta variant of Covid that I had had.

          Just thinking about the test… your sinuses are lined with a layer of mucus for a very good reason. The mucus is a physical barrier to any airborne bacteria and viruses you breathe in. So you have all these viruses trapped on the surface of your mucus layer, unable to get to your bodily tissues, when some semi-trained tester shoves a swab up your nose and swirls everything around, breaking up the mucus layer and helpfully forcing the viruses and bacteria against your tissues.

          I mean, if you’re not supposed to rub your eyes, surely it’s even more important not to rub the insides of your sinuses?

          I don’t know… this whole Covid story is crazy.

    It sounds like some of the vaccine studies, then.

    In the 2020 so-called ‘Recovery Trial’ on HCQ, I understand that a lot of patients didn’t actually recover. They were given too high a dose. A planned 2021 IM trial is being criticised before it starts, I read.

    I’ve just ordered a copy of Dr Kendrick’s book ‘Doctoring Data’. It dates from 7 years ago. I presume sales are booming again, given events since March 2020.

      A huge problem with RECOVERY’s look at HCQ is that the first dose wasn’t given until a median of 9 days after symptom onset. For high risk patients, this is way too late. Antivirals must be given early to limit damage and reduce viral load.

    NHS England has issued a tender a few days ago for the supply of Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs). Contract value £3.185 billion for period 1 Nov 21 through to 31 Mar 24 (& which represents a big uptick on current costs of DOACs). The UK NHS website describes A’s as ‘Anticoagulants are medicines that help prevent blood clots. They’re given to people at a high risk of getting clots, to reduce their chances of developing serious conditions such as strokes and heart attacks’. I did a quick duckduckgo search & Pfizer is up there in there as a top supplier in this market.

    I’ve seen a copy of an email (on Twitter tonight) re. care homes and vaccination as a condition / beginning of grace period. I hope care home workers who really don’t want to be jabbed at the current time continue to resist (but I sincerely feel for those that have bills to pay / families to feed that are being ‘forced’ into this) (message to BBC – Lisa Shaw & Dom Bess).

    I’ll stop here except for one aside. My sister is in the UK armed forces. Though she does not do any significant research herself, she at least has listened to me (so far but wavers) & reads some of the information that I provide (including the latest copy of the thelightpaper.co.uk that I’d printed in A3) – the pressure to get jabbed from her boss is ratcheting up. I’ve provided arguments to counter and a list of questions to pose. My mantra remains to watch what happens this winter (and that if the jab is shown to be effective, to consider it in the spring – if not, wait longer) [personal opinion – will be a long wait].

While your brain represents about 2-3% of your total body weight, 25% of the cholesterol in your body is found in your brain, where it plays important roles in such things as membrane function, acts as an antioxidant, and serves as the raw material from which we are able to make things like progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, testosterone and even vitamin D.

        “In fact, in a recent study available on the NIH Public Access site, researchers showed that in the elderly, the best memory function was observed in those with the highest levels of cholesterol. Low cholesterol is associated with an increased risk for depression and even death”.

          I agree, cholesterol is needed for brain function. I was just posting what I had heard and which I interpreted as another try by the statin manufacturers to find something to treat; they’ve even tried Covid-19.

    WHEN the NHS suspended GP Dr Sam White without pay for daring to question the Covid narrative, they thought he would meekly disappear. Thankfully he didn’t, because the lack of debate from doctors over draconian measures the country has endured unnecessarily has been deafening. Instead, he took legal advice and his solicitor fired off a 23-page letter to the chief executive of the NHS, Sir Simon Stevens.

    The colour must have drained from Stevens’s face when he opened it, even more so now as it has been made public and read over a million times. It began: ‘Please treat this letter as a public interest disclosure or whistle blow in that it raises allegations of alleged criminal conduct and breach of legal obligations by those leading the Covid response.’

    I’ve just bought the book ‘Doctoring Data’. Seems a good time, given how much of this is now going on …

    I have two possible ideas, regarding the observation that ‘overweight’ people live longer than ‘normal’ people.

    Do most of those on the standard UK diet become chronically, then acutely ill in middle or old age? If this happens, those with reserves may cope better with the ordeal. So this observation may not really cover the relatively rare people in the UK who exercise and avoid most junk food. Might it also be that the ‘lightweight’, the minority who stay skinny throughout life whatever they eat, are intrinsically less long-lived than the middleweight or heavyweight?

    Also, best wishes to Dr Kendrick in dealing with the ‘Spanish Inquisition’.

    In a World First, Bennett Announces Third COVID Jab Campaign for Israelis Over 60

    ‘Call your parents and grandparents now and make sure they get the third shot,’ Israel’s prime minister told a televised press briefing, announcing President Herzog will get his COVID vaccine booster shot on Friday

    In what’s a likely sign of things to come elsewhere, Israel is now pushing a third jab, or follow-up booster for those who’ve already received their two vaccine rounds, for the elderly people over the age of 60.

    Israel’s prominent Haaretz newspaper revealed Thursday the country will be the first in the world to start doing so after government approval, writing that Israel “will start offering a third COVID vaccine shot to people over 60 starting on Sunday, after the Health Ministry approved the move on Thursday.”

        Well there is the obligatory ‘it’s affecting the vaccinated’… otherwise the PR gets angry…

        BTW – spoke to a good mate last night 45 – in very good health — he took the second jab a few months ago — didn’t say much at the time but last night he told me he has had pains in his heart since a day or so after jab 2…. he thought it would go away … but it has not… he is fearful to go to the doctor to get it checked but fears it’s heart inflation…(myocarditis).

        He mentioned that many people who knows who have been Injected have had significant side effects… they initially said nothing but now they are reading about others they are raising the point.

        Also he has family in the UK .. his brother has had covid THREE times…each times it gets progressively worse… first bout was just a bit of a cough … next one was a lung hacking cough… this time (now) he is completely laid up and severely ill (mid 30’s healthy vaccinated).

        Seems the virus is changing significantly … and strengthening…

        My mates sign off was … ‘these are very dark times’

        He will not take a booster

        He knows he’s been played… but he does not buy into the CEP.

    The Covid vaccine protects you from a serious case of Covid but not from a mild case, nor does it stop you from passing on the virus.

    This is strange when you think about it. Surely something which can prevent a serious case would find a milder case much easier to to prevent?

    I think I found the answer reading Karl Denninger’s article Well, Duh. This Is Why It Was Stupid

    The virus enters through the nose, then goes to the throat, then to the lungs, and finally colonises the whole body. Along with this progress your symptoms get more and more severe as your mucosal defences are overcome by the virus.

    What you really need are mucosal defences in the nose, throat, and airways, which is what naturally-acquired immunity gives you.

    But the jab goes directly into the body, bypassing the respiratory tract. So it only alerts the viral defences, in the body and not the defences in the respiratory tract. That is why if you are vaccinated the virus can still breed in the nose and throat, whereupon you can very conveniently breathe out or splutter out zillions of copies of the virus and infect other people, but your own body remains comparatively safe and symptom-free.

    The lungs are part of the respiratory system but also part of the body so they acquire immunity in reverse, so to speak, from the blood to the air sacs and not the other way around.

    The Denninger article is well worth a read. A bit shouty, but it has lots of interesting information.

      Someone I know was very poorly last week and slowly recovering – not hospitalized but pretty alarmed at their condition. The close medical contact assured the poorly person that only they had had the jab they would hav been much worse. Republican congressman was given the same assurance after his post jab collision with our viral friend.

      This is an outstanding find – and a must read – without a doubt these vaccines are intended to do great harm:

      Excerpt:

      A vaccine that is not sterilizing permits the virus to infect you and replicate and as a result you can infect others. Technically it is not a vaccine at all (which by definition prevents infection); it is a prophylactic therapy. Such a “vaccine” instead acts to reduce or eliminate symptomatic disease. You don’t know you’re sick and you don’t get sick. You don’t go to the hospital and you don’t die. Unfortunately since you don’t know you’re sick but are infected and the virus is both replicating in you and shedding you are more-likely to spread the infection to others. All of the current Covid jabs are in this category and so is, for that matter IPV (injected polio vaccine — the original Salk discovery.)

      During the original vaccine trials in the summer and fall of 2020 they deliberately did not test any of the recipients for asymptomatic infections. Only a person who developed a significant illness was tested. This has continued post roll-out with the CDC specifying that a close contact of a known case who was vaccinated did not need to quarantine or be tested until and unless they became symptomatic. They knew damn well, in other words, that the jabs were not sterilizing but did not want that data up for public debate because then those who have read history would be likely to make the connection to the present day and thus they did their level best to hide it. That has now blown up in their face with it being conclusively known that jabbed people in fact not only get infected but spread the virus to others.

      The problem with non-sterilizing vaccines is simply this: There is no safe means of mass-use of non-sterilizing vaccines so long as transmission within the community does or is likely to exist.

      Ever.

      There are no exceptions.

      This was known to public health officials and virologists seventy years ago and is why the United States used both IPV (injected polio vaccine) and OPV (oral polio vaccine) in sequence for polio until the 1990s. OPV produced sterilizing immunity but IPV did not. OPV had a very small (but non-zero, about 1 in a million) risk of causing polio because it was a codon-deoptimized live virus which, on rare occasion, would mutate back to its virulent form in the human body. So to mitigate that risk you got IPV first in the US (to prevent systemic infection; this was non-sterilizing), then OPV which is sterilizing — that is, it prevents not only getting sick from polio but also replicating and shedding the virus, thus giving it to others along with preventing the promotion of mutations that WILL eventually escape the vaccine.

      Had we done with polio what we’re doing now with Covid — IPV (non-sterilizing) use only with virus circulating in the United States — it is very likely the virus would have mutated, escaped the vaccine and killed millions in America. Every single so-called expert knows damn well why we didn’t do that with polio and how dangerous it is to attempt it. Indeed where polio still circulates but money is scarce they use OPV only (which is sterilizing) and accept the risk of the rare but possible active case it can cause for this exact reason.

      Again: This is not a “new idea”; it was in fact the only rational path of action and known decades ago, forming the very basis of our polio vaccination strategy. This combination strategy was necessary for polio but not for measles, for example, as the measles vaccine is sterilizing.

      ONLY A STERILIZING VACCINE IS SAFE TO USE ON A MASS POPULATION BASIS WHEN A PARTICULAR PATHOGEN IS CIRCULATING IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

      THIS IS NOT THEORY — IT IS DECADES-OLD KNOWN MEDICAL FACT.

      Thanks for posting the link to the Denninger article. Martin Back, your first two paragraphs express well, the paradoxical nature of the outcomes of the newfangled vaccines versus the Covid-19, which we are now observing. (I would have liked this concise summary even better, if you had included the fact that adverse reactions to the vaccines are being recorded.)

      How disease enters the body; and how preventives enter the body- aye, there’s the rub (must be talking topical here…yes, pun intended): this is an important question. For example, Simon Y. Mills, the herbalist and author, discusses this issue in some depth in the context of herbal medicine, in several books.

      Concerning the territory ahead, it will serve us well to distinguish between what are observations and questions, AND, what are working hypotheses. Fortunately for us, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick’s track record in this respect is very fine.

    Testimony of a Spanish doctor about the use of PCR tests to create waves of “infected people”.

    “Another secret of the PCR: when on TV they said, we are entering the first wave, in the mail we received a warning: we are going to do PCR with 35 cycles. This means that the magnifying glass looking at the sample (the mirror) increases the view under the microscope by 35 times. When they said, we are out of the first wave, a message arrived: we do PCR at 20 cycles. When PM Mr. Sánchez already said that we were entering the second wave, they increased the cycles to 35, and so we continued with the waves and with the descents of the waves. Now it is 20 because people are already vaccinated, and (ironically) they already cure everything. Now it is 20 cycles because people are already vaccinated, and (ironically) they already cure everything. But if you say that there are people with serious neurological side effects every day, what do they do to you? They suspend you, because the population cannot know the truth. They have told me this: you shut up, you protect your job, your salary, and the population is told what to say.”

      Dr. John H many thanks for your information. You have returned to the theme of Dr Kendrick’s original blog, that of interference of free speech in the medical world. I have followed Dr Mercola on and off for many years, and, along with this blog, have learned much. As a student of the ’60s in a prestigious North East of England hospital, I was taught to question all things medical, and I do so to this day.
      My GP accused me of ‘ resorting to Dr Google’ some years ago. I ought to have answered that I had had it drilled into me to know the uses, actions and possible complications of every drug I administered to my patients, and therefore that includes things prescribed to myself.
      We are in a very sorry state of affairs at the moment, and I thank you and other bloggers for posting information. I feel quite able to distinguish decent stuff from garbage, and resent numpty politicians limiting my access to points of view just because they disagree with them.

        The Illusion of Stability, the Inevitability of Collapse

        Imagine being at a party celebrating the vast wealth generated in the last ten months in stocks, cryptocurrencies, real estate and just about every other asset class. The lights flicker briefly but the host assures the crowd the generator powering the party is working perfectly.

        Being a skeptic, you slip out on the excuse of bringing in more champagne and pay a visit to the generator room. To your horror, you find the entire arrangement held together with duct tape and rotted 2X4s, the electrical panel is an acrid-smelling mess of haphazard frayed wire and the generator is over-heated and vibrating off its foundation bolts. Whatever governor the engine once had is gone, it clearly won’t last the night.

        The party is the U.S. economy, and the generator room is the Federal Reserve, its proxies and the U.S. Treasury, all running to failure. What we’re experiencing in real time is the illusion of stability and the inevitability of collapse. I’ve prepared a few charts to illuminate this reality graphically.

        Here’s the illusion of stability in a nutshell: while the broadest measure of the economy, gross domestic product (GDP) has continued marching higher (in both nominal and real/inflation-adjusted terms), the amount of Federal Reserve stimulus and Federal debt required to keep pushing GDP up at the same rate has exploded higher and is tracking a parabolic blow-off.

        Let’s start with a chart of GDP, which I’ve divided into four eras. Era #1 was the period of broad-based prosperity, defined as productivity gains that increased wages faster than inflation, i.e. the purchasing power of wages rose so each hour of labor bought more goods and services. Note that the GDP was not skyrocketing in this period, as the gains in productivity and prosperity were real and not based on financial trickery, debt, leverage or Fed stimulus. This era lasted from the 1950s through the mid-1970s, at which point stagflation put an end to the era of rising purchasing power of labor / wages.

    Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens

    Abstract

    Could some vaccines drive the evolution of more virulent pathogens? Conventional wisdom is that natural selection will remove highly lethal pathogens if host death greatly reduces transmission. Vaccines that keep hosts alive but still allow transmission could thus allow very virulent strains to circulate in a population.

    Here we show experimentally that immunization of chickens against Marek’s disease virus enhances the fitness of more virulent strains, making it possible for hyperpathogenic strains to transmit. Immunity elicited by direct vaccination or by maternal vaccination prolongs host survival but does not prevent infection, viral replication or transmission, thus extending the infectious periods of strains otherwise too lethal to persist.

    Our data show that anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease in unvaccinated hosts.

    Author Summary

    There is a theoretical expectation that some types of vaccines could prompt the evolution of more virulent (“hotter”) pathogens. This idea follows from the notion that natural selection removes pathogen strains that are so “hot” that they kill their hosts and, therefore, themselves. Vaccines that let the hosts survive but do not prevent the spread of the pathogen relax this selection, allowing the evolution of hotter pathogens to occur.

    This type of vaccine is often called a leaky vaccine. When vaccines prevent transmission, as is the case for nearly all vaccines used in humans, this type of evolution towards increased virulence is blocked. But when vaccines leak, allowing at least some pathogen transmission, they could create the ecological conditions that would allow hot strains to emerge and persist.

    This theory proved highly controversial when it was first proposed over a decade ago, but here we report experiments with Marek’s disease virus in poultry that show that modern commercial leaky vaccines can have precisely this effect: they allow the onward transmission of strains otherwise too lethal to persist.

    Thus, the use of leaky vaccines can facilitate the evolution of pathogen strains that put unvaccinated hosts at greater risk of severe disease. The future challenge is to identify whether there are other types of vaccines used in animals and humans that might also generate these evolutionary risks.

    I AM writing to raise awareness about the deeply disturbing political and social situation right now in Lithuania, and I firmly believe that the 50 per cent of Lithuanian citizens who have declined Covid-19 vaccination, and even a large number of those who have been vaccinated, support me in this call for the attention of international communities. There has been nothing published in mainstream media outside our country.

    Today, August 10, the Lithuanian government is due to review and accept the following amendments of state legislations denying non-vaccinated people, including school age children, access to:

    – public transport;

    – primary and secondary care medical institutions;

    – any trade and service where the human contact is longer than 15 minutes;

    – libraries, museums, concerts, theatres;

    – schools and universities;

    – shops with an area larger than 1,500 sq m.

    The state’s statutory sick leave will be waived for those who do not take the vaccine.

    The principal officers and staff at the Lithuanian Parliament who are non-vaccinated or oppose the aforementioned changes had their Parliament entry ID cards deactivated on Friday (August 6) so will not be allowed to attend. Will the opposing MPs be next?

    A Lithuanian MEP is openly running hate speech against non-vaccinated people – advising the public to stop all the contacts with those without inoculation, including family members. The expression ‘unnecessary ballast to society’ is being used by the director of the Employment Service Institution. The segregation of people, friends and even families has started in a country of only three million.

    Military forces of Lithuania are due to receive enhanced powers, including takeover the property of the businesses and individuals.

    There are plans for a protest today at the Lithuanian Parliament. Thousands of Lithuanian citizens, including those who have accepted the vaccine, are organising bus journeys to unite and express their opposition to the breach of human rights, employment law, trade standards, children’s rights, EU Parliamentary Assembly Resolution 2361 (2021), the Nuremberg Code and the Lithuanian Constitution.

    Well Malcolm, I now have the result of my formal complaint to my MP. I attended a meeting the day before I left the employ of the NHS permanently… because at 73 years of age I was considered vulnerable and there was no PPE available. All hospital clinicians in the hospital in which I worked were ordered by the hospital management to forge death certificates by appending COVID-19 as the primary cause of death regardless of the actual cause of death. The offence was completed when each death certificate was uttered.

    You wont be surprised to learn that after a silence of some 6 or 7 months; my MP responded with the following claptrap. It is a PDF file from which I have redacted all identifying information for the reason that I want to avoid libel charges. When history can be re-written at the whimsy of the authorities, I have no faith in the authorities. I attended the meeting which was referred to in the letter of rebuttal and I was astonished that such orders were being given. I never imagined in more than 5 decades of service to the work of health service provision, that I would ever see such blatant lies from the authorities.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/c02e0gs174h6fej/trust%20response%20redacted.pdf?dl=0

    I am thoroughly disillusioned now. This once green and pleasant land has become a free for all for those who shout loudest, regardless of the lies which they shout. My questions to my MP were simple. As a government member, I expected a fairly rapid answer to my questions. Obfuscation and lame excuses served the purposes of the dishonest people who would rather people did not know the ugly truth. It is a very sad day when honesty is a casualty to the warmongers who have plans to rule us all.

    1984 was a great work of fiction that was written by a prescient author, George Orwell. It was never intended to be a manual of standard operating procedures for any government or authority that wished to subjugate the proletariat.

Is this because these patients are vaccinated and are suffering with the effects of ADE or was I wrong in my initial thought that the variants become less of a threat? Comments appreciated.

    I’ve been going back through Robin Whittle’s posts about vitamin D and diving deep…

    ” For instance, inadequate 25OHD prevents Th1 lymphocytes from switching to their anti-inflammatory shutdown program. So inadequate 25OHD is the primary direct cause of the cytokine storm destruction of the pulmonary endothelium which triggers the hypercoagulative blood of severe COVID-19. This is elucidated in molecular detail by McGregor et al. 2020, which I regard as the most important article of all concerning the etiology of COVID-19, sepsis, Kawasaki disease, MIS etc. ”

    …based on the following paper, which is a deep dive for me…

    “An autocrine Vitamin D-driven Th1 shutdown program can be exploited for COVID-19”
    McGregor, et. al.

    tldr; the quick-acting form of vitamin D–calcifediol–may help severe covid patients and prevent progression in mild and moderate patients…50 ng/ml of serum calcifediol appears to be needed for immune competence to prevent hyper-inflammatory response…there is a slow-acting form of vitamin D (called “calciferol” or “ergocalciferol”) that may not help prevent progression or death because it must be converted to the active form and this may take months.

    ” Is calcifediol better than cholecalciferol for vitamin D supplementation? ”

    “Modest and even severe vitamin D deficiency is widely prevalent around the world. There is consensus that a good vitamin D status is necessary for bone and general health. Similarly, a better vitamin D status is essential for optimal efficacy of antiresorptive treatments. Supplementation of food with vitamin D or using vitamin D supplements is the most widely used strategy to improve the vitamin status. Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) and ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) are the most widely used compounds and the relative use of both products depends on historical or practical reasons. Oral intake of calcifediol (25OHD3) rather than vitamin D itself should also be considered for oral supplementation. We reviewed all publications dealing with a comparison of oral cholecalciferol with oral calcifediol as to define the relative efficacy of both compounds for improving the vitamin D status. First, oral calcifediol results in a more rapid increase in serum 25OHD compared to oral cholecalciferol. Second, oral calcifediol is more potent than cholecalciferol, so that lower dosages are needed. Based on the results of nine RCTs comparing physiologic doses of oral cholecalciferol with oral calcifediol, calcifediol was 3.2-fold more potent than oral cholecalciferol. Indeed, when using dosages ≤ 25 μg/day, serum 25OHD increased by 1.5 ± 0.9 nmol/l for each 1 μg cholecalciferol, whereas this was 4.8 ± 1.2 nmol/l for oral calcifediol. Third, oral calcifediol has a higher rate of intestinal absorption and this may have important advantages in case of decreased intestinal absorption capacity due to a variety of diseases. A potential additional advantage of oral calcifediol is a linear dose-response curve, irrespective of baseline serum 25OHD, whereas the rise in serum 25OHD is lower after oral cholecalciferol, when baseline serum 25OHD is higher. Finally, intermittent intake of calcifediol results in fairly stable serum 25OHD compared with greater fluctuations after intermittent oral cholecalciferol.”

    “the final nail in coffin of medical research” – no, there are more. You will have seen also. “Life-saving cholesterol jab recommended on NHS”, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58393866
    I think I have a comment somewhere on these pages on the coming PCSK9 inhibitor; this one is gene silencing (gene therapy is the fashion now). I note, “Although there is no long-term proof of this yet from studies, they believe it is worth recommending based on existing evidence”. Exisiting evidence I assume is that it lowers ‘bad cholesterol’, as it must, and therefore as we know(?) will save lives.
    On the current covid vaccines it does look like they are causing dormant viruses to get moving again, which should be a big worry as we have many that the immune system otherwise keeps under control.

    I know I’m a bit late to the party but I was trawling through the press releases from Pfizer and BionTech (November 2020). The often quoted rate of 95% efficacy in their vaccine trial was stated thus: “after conducting the final efficacy analysis in their ongoing Phase 3 study, their mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate, BNT162b2, met all of the study’s primary efficacy endpoints. Analysis of the data indicates a vaccine efficacy rate of 95% (p0.95 and p<0.0001 may indicate that sampling was not completely random." and went on to say… "very low p-values like p<0.0001 will be rarely encountered, because it would mean that the trial was overpowered and should have had a smaller sample size. It would seem appropriate, therefore, to require investigators to explain such results and to consider rejecting the research involved." Let me know if I'm barking up the wrong tree here. Comments and observations invited.

      95% is the useless RRR or relative risk reduction number, not applicable in the real world, but only in trials. The real number as to the efficacy of the mRNA injections is the ARR or absolute risk reduction number which has been calculated by others in medical science. That is about only 1% for all the various injections. For further deep info see Alex Jones’s site Infowars and the recent video done by Dr. Richard Fleming. You will see info never to be seen in the news.

    I came across Luc Montagnier:
    https://www.bitchute.com/video/sqnvH8rXUx28/
    He gets bashed as you would expect on Wikipedia:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luc_Montagnier
    I remember reading a book, probably in 1956, The Case against Einstein. You know Einstein was a patent clerk, how could he know anything about the big problems in physics. At least Luc Montagnier has worked in immunology with viruses.
    We will have the Inquisition back soon, The Medical Inquisition.
