‘a threatening phone call’
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/11/08/how-astrazeneca-vaccine-was-shelved/
8th November 2023
In March 2021, The Telegraph was one of the first newspapers to imply a causal link between the jab and blood clots after Norwegian scientists suggested a possible mechanism.
On the day we published the story we received a threatening phone call from a senior official at the MHRA warning that The Telegraph would be banned from future briefings and press notices if we did not soften the news.

From FDA to MHRA: are drug regulators for hire?

Industry money saturates the globe’s leading regulators.
The BMJ found that the majority of regulators’ budget—particularly the portion focused on drugs—is derived from industry fees
Another well-known Cambridge academic got in touch to complain about our “disgraceful fear-mongering headline” on the story, claiming that it would discourage vaccine uptake and cost lives.
We politely pointed out that hiding the facts from people was not helpful and could also cost lives. The academic did not respond.
In February this year, TikTok removed an audio clip in which I discussed whether the benefit of vaccination was worth the risks for young people, claiming it had breached community guidelines.
After we showed that the Government’s own website acknowledges the link, the clip was reinstated.
All of this shows a troubling paternalism in government, academia and some media outlets who believe that the public is not capable of weighing up the pros and cons of medical interventions and so must be shielded from the truth.

Example 1, Covid lab accident in China
https://oversight.house.gov/release/final-report-covid-select-concludes-2-year-investigation-issues-500-page-final-report-on-lessons-learned-and-the-path-forward/
COVID-19 ORIGIN: COVID-19 most likely emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.
The FIVE strongest arguments in favor of the “lab leak” theory include:
1. The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.
2. Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans.
This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.
3. Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research at inadequate biosafety levels.
4. Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with a COVID-like virus in the fall of 2019,
months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.
5. By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced.
PROXIMAL ORIGIN PUBLICATION:
“The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory
— was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated in nature.

We support the call from the Director-General of WHO to promote scientific evidence and unity over misinformation and conjecture.
Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumours, and prejudice that jeopardise our global collaboration in the fight against this virus.
The rapid, open, and transparent sharing of data on this outbreak is now being threatened by rumours and misinformation around its origins.
We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.
GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH:
A lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is most likely the origin of COVID-19.
Current government mechanisms for overseeing this dangerous gain-of-function research are incomplete, severely convoluted, and lack global applicability.
ECOHEALTH ALLIANCE INC. (ECOHEALTH):
EcoHealth — under the leadership of Dr. Peter Daszak
— used U.S. taxpayer dollars to facilitate dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China.
After the Select Subcommittee released evidence of EcoHealth violating the terms of its National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant,
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) commenced official debarment proceedings and suspended all funding to EcoHealth.
• New evidence also shows that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has opened an investigation into EcoHealth’s pandemic-era activities.
NIH FAILURES:
NIH’s procedures for funding and overseeing potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious threat to both public health and national security.
Further, NIH fostered an environment that promoted evading federal record keeping laws

“Our society has chosen a dystopian and contagious path if it chooses to facilitate the death of those who have a terminal illness rather than standing with them, weeping with them, valuing them and loving them against the desolation that any of us would feel if we were given a diagnosis of that sort.”
Robert Jenrick
“This Act, if passed, will be subject to activist judges in Strasbourg. They will change it fundamentally and we have to be prepared for that.”

We are not the same country we were; we do not rest on the same moral foundation.

No longer.

The argument for assisted dying was largely anecdotal,
MPs recounted personal experiences of illness and death, and appeals they had heard from their constituents on assisted dying.

Relatives will push the elderly to die early; money will be made; the wedge will thicken;

and the British health service being so poor, this will come to be seen as a patriotic or desperate alternative to substandard care.

It is the postwar consensus, as social democratic as it is Judeo-

,1,Lewy body dementias (LBD), 1.4 million in the United States.
https://www.lbda.org/10-things-you-should-know-about-lbd/
Presence of Lewy bodies
Typically progresses rapidly
Lewy Body Dementia Association
We understand that though many families are affected by this disease, few individuals and medical professionals are aware of the symptoms, diagnostic criteria, or even that LBD exists.
Lewy body dementias (LBD) are the second most common form of degenerative dementia.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is most common.
LBD can have three common presentations
Some start with a movement disorder leading to the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease and later develop dementia.
This is diagnosed as Parkinson’s disease dementia.
Others start with a cognitive/memory disorder that may be mistaken for AD,
leading to the diagnosis of ‘dementia with Lewy bodies’ (DLB).
A small group will first present with neuropsychiatric symptoms, hallucinations, behavioral problems, difficulty with complex mental activities
The most common symptoms of LBD include:
Impaired thinking, such as loss of executive function (planning, processing information), memory, or the ability to understand visual information
Fluctuations in cognition, attention, or alertness
Problems with movement, including tremors, stiffness, slowness, and difficulty walking
Visual hallucinations (seeing things that are not present)
The symptoms of LBD are treatable
Early and accurate diagnosis of LBD is essential
Early and accurate diagnosis is important because LBD patients may react to certain medications differently than AD or PD patients.
A variety of drugs, including some dementia meds and some antiparkinsonian medications, can worsen LBD symptoms.
(LBD affects an individual’s brain differently than other dementias).
Treatment should always be monitored by a physician and may include prescriptive and other therapies, exercise, diet, sleep habits, changes in behavior, and daily routines.
Individuals and families living with LBD should not have to face this disease alone.
LBD affects every aspect of a person – their mood, the way they think, and the way they move.
The combination of cognitive, motor and behavioral symptoms creates a highly challenging set of demands for continuing care.
Physician education is urgently needed.
More research is urgently needed.
Research needs include tools for early diagnoses, such as screening questionnaires, biomarkers, neuroimaging techniques, and more effective therapies.
Currently, there is no specific test to diagnose LBD.
,1,This massive planet will melt your brain 🤯. 434 light years from earth, the newborn world J1407B has a ring system that extends nearly 120,000,000 KM, making it 200x bigger than Saturn’s rings.
If Saturn’s were this massive, they would be easily visible from Earth and appear bigger than the full moon in the night sky.
One day, these rings will condense into a large family of moons, possibly hundreds of them, much like Saturn and Jupiter have today. Perhaps these planets were once home to enormous ring systems in their youth as well.
