British Heart Foundation release
Dr. John Campbell Jan 31, 2024
Early heart disease deaths rise to 14-year high Over 100,000 excess deaths involving cardiovascular conditions in England since February 2020 Heart and circulatory diseases cause around a quarter of all deaths in England, Over 140,000 deaths each year, or one death every four minutes. Healthcare costs relating to heart and circulatory diseases, £8.3 billion each year. The cost of cardiovascular disease to the wider economy in England, (including premature death, disability and informal costs), is estimated to be £22 billion each year. Latest NHS England figures show that the number of people waiting for cardiac care at the end of November in England was 402,208. The heart care waiting list is 72% larger than in February 2020. This is an increase of 169,000 people – enough to fill Wembley stadium nearly twice over. In 2022 Over 39,000 people in England died prematurely of cardiovascular conditions, heart attacks, coronary heart disease and stroke, an average of 750 people each week. It is the highest annual total since 2008. Since 2020, the premature death rate for cardiovascular disease has risen year-on-year This is the first time there has been a clear reversal in the trend for almost 60 years. The BHF says more analysis is needed to understand what is driving the trend. Dr Sonya Babu-Narayan, Associate Medical Director at the BHF and Consultant Cardiologist, said: We are still seeing more people than expected die from cardiovascular conditions overall – more than any other disease group. It’s clear to me that urgent intervention is long overdue.

Decisions, overwhelmingly wrong
Dr. John Campbell Jan 27, 2024
Direct link to parliament TV, https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index... Link to Hansard full transcript, https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons... Miriam Cates (Penistone and Stocksbridge) (Con) I will be brief, because it is clear that there is far more demand to speak in the debate than there is time. That shows that we absolutely need a longer debate; we need a debate on the Floor of the House, because it is not just Members present who want to speak, and members of the public have shown enormous interest. I will not go over the excellent points that have been made and the data that has been shared. We know we have a problem in this country with excess deaths, particularly among younger people and particularly from cardiovascular disease. That, in itself, is a huge challenge. We need medical experts and statisticians to address those issues—I am not qualified to do so. What I will say is this: lockdown changed everything. Our response to covid changed everything. Just as we look back on different periods of history—before the war; before the industrial revolution—I believe we will look back at before and after lockdown. Lockdown has changed our economy and how we relate to each other. It has changed our health and our understanding of children’s development. The conditions under which those decisions were made—decisions that were overwhelmingly wrong, in my opinion, although I do not blame any individuals, given the pressure they were under—have not changed. The conditions under which we suspended the precautionary principle, ignored the fact that interventions may cause harm, suspended the importance of children’s education, suspended the safeguarding of children, suspended the need for medical trials and suspended all sorts of safeguards that have stood society in good stead for a long time have not changed. The conditions in Government, the media and wider society under which those decisions were made have not changed because, unfortunately, we have not yet got to the heart of the matter. Why did that pressure come from the media? Why did we have to follow what other countries were doing? Why were we obsessed with particular points of data, such as deaths from covid, rather than considering the wider impact on society? My concern about the covid inquiry is that it is asking all the wrong questions. It is concerned with who swore at whom on WhatsApp, and not the wider conditions under which decisions were made. When, several Education Secretaries ago, the former, former, former Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend the Member for South Staffordshire (Sir Gavin Williamson), stood up in the House of Commons and said that he would close schools, I remember, as a mother, shouting at the television, “Don’t do it! Don’t do it!”. I could see the impact it would have—not just on my own children, but across all the wider components of society. Society is like a big machine; we cannot just take out one part and assume that the rest will continue to operate. We have seen that clearly over the past three years. We must address the reasons why these decisions were made. We cannot do that in three minutes each—we must have a longer debate.

COVID Lab Leak Revelations: What We Know As Debate Resurges Over Its Origin
By Pandora Dewan Science Reporter
A seminal study on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic has been brought into question after drawing criticism from statisticians. Study authors and experts told Newseek what they think of the matter.
In 2022, evolutionary biologist Michael Worobey, together with a global team of immunologists, virologists, biologists and statisticians, published a paper in the journal Science on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. By plotting the locations of the earliest known COVID-19 cases, along with the geographical locations of the earliest viral lineages, environmental samples, and circumstantial evidence, the team concluded that the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan was the most likely epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, in a recent paper, published in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A, Dietrich Stoyan, a professor in mathematics and statistics at the Technical University of Bergakademie Freiberg in Germany, and Sung Nok Chiu, a professor of mathematics at Hong Kong Baptist University, described this original analysis as "fundamentally flawed."
Using a range of geographical, genetic and circumstantial data, Worobey et al. concluded that the Huanan market was a likely epicenter for the coronavirus pandemic.

Child excess deaths, 8%

Direct link to parliament TV, https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index... Link to Hansard full transcript, https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons...
Full speech from Dr. Johnson This is a very important debate and I will try to make my speech as short as possible. I congratulate the hon. Member for North West Leicestershire on raising this issue and on his determination to highlight the challenges that we are facing. On the one hand, we might have expected that the pandemic would shorten the lives of a number of our more frail citizens and thus have expected a fall in deaths post-pandemic, and we saw that. The ONS reported roughly 608,000 deaths in England and Wales in 2020, 586,000 in 2021, and 577,000 in 2022—that was higher than 2019 when there were about 531,000 deaths, so that does warrant further inspection. We expect a fluctuation year on year, and we also expect Toggle showing location of Column 221WH the total number of deaths to increase year on year as the population increases and ages. We therefore look at the five-year average, and currently we are using 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 because of the outliers in 2020. Even then, it is unlikely that we will be exactly at the average, and we would expect some years to be higher or lower. The ONS monthly mortality analysis shows that, in 2022, there were 32,000 more deaths than the five-year average, and in January to July 2023, there were 21,809 more. That equates to an annualised figure of around 37,000, but the figures appear to stop in July 2023. Would the Minister advise as to why the data series has been discontinued? It would be helpful if it were not. However, those are raw numbers and we must be cautious because, as the population ages and increases, so will the number of deaths. The ONS therefore uses the age-standard mortality rate, which has fluctuated month on month but is actually down for both 2022 and 2023 when compared with the five-year average. Overall, when adjusted for age and population size, the number of deaths is not excessive, given what we would expect. We need to look further at the trends on age and the causes of death to see a fuller picture. Others will no doubt speak of rising cardiovascular disease in men, the late presentation of cancers or the rise in liver disease, but as a consultant paediatrician, I would like to focus on children. The National Child Mortality Database collates data on children’s deaths from nought to 18. Its latest bulletin from March 2023 shows that there were sadly 3,743 deaths to the end of that month, which is an increase of 8% on the previous year. Would the Minister comment on what investigation she is doing into the cause of that increased mortality and what is being done to prevent further deaths? The purpose of the child death overview panel is to investigate those deaths, but the average investigation is taking 392 days, with less than half completed in 12 months and a significant fall in the number being completed in 12 months. What is the Minister doing to improve that process? One particularly distressing feature of child death data is that suicide or deliberate self-harm was a primary cause of death of children between 10 and 17 years, and looking at the data, it is getting much worse with children between 10 and 14. I understand that the Government are aware of those figures and are investing in mental health for children and improving online safety. I would be grateful if the Minister elaborated further on the steps they are taking to support children and prevent further tragedies.
The lead time could have been crucial to combating the pandemic, analysts say.
Increases and disparities are threatening the progress made over the past three decades.

They will now take place at a later date, to enable organisations to prioritise providing evidence for the Inquiry’s third investigation on the impact of the pandemic on healthcare (Module 3). There will be no preliminary hearing for Module 4 on 8 February. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...

The world needs to be better prepared to tackle a future pandemic, By mapping viruses with the potential to become the next “Disease X”, the global health community and governments can be more responsive the next time a pandemic looms Global collaboration and adequate funding are needed to improve pandemic preparedness and ensure fast action to keep a viral outbreak at bay “You can get a long way towards being able to produce something that will target a novel virus before that virus even emerges.” “It’s a virus that we don't know yet, but we do know is out there, and we do know has the potential to spill over from an animal population potentially into humans, perhaps mutate or adapt itself and then begin spreading and killing people faster than we can contain it.” … carrying out research and vaccine development for known viral “families” that could impact humans – of which there are 25 – would give humanity a decided advantage over the next Disease X.

So much more makes sense after this book and my first illuminating discussion with Dr. Craig. Have you ever felt the covid story did not entirely add up? Expired contains multiple eye-opening revelations about covid with compelling evidence that provides a coherent, sober and clear explanation that better fits the data we have so far. Meticulous research by pathologist Dr Clare Craig sheds light on the largely overlooked evidence of airborne virus transmission, examining twelve related beliefs on spread, lockdowns, asymptomatic infections, and masks. In addition, Expired champions the importance of Western ethical principles, damaged by pandemic actions and calls for their restoration. The covid debate has proved incredibly polarising. One side believed every intervention was saving lives, while the other emphasised the harms caused. Biased modelling based on a worst-case scenario led to fearful assumptions presented as fact. By dint of sheer repetition these ‘facts’ became unquestionable. Those scientists who dared to question were proclaimed dangerous. Welcome to Cloud-Covid-Land. Let’s bring back nuance.

100% lethal. Time to ban this reaearch. Lethal Infection of Human ACE2-Transgenic Mice Caused by SARS-CoV-2- related Pangolin Coronavirus GX_P2V(short_3UTR) 4th January 2024 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.11... https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.11...
SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus GX_P2V can cause 100% mortality in human ACE2-transgenic mice, potentially attributable to late-stage brain infection. This underscores a spillover risk of GX_P2V into humans, and provides a unique model for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses. Dear Editor, Two SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronaviruses, GD/2019 and GX/2017, were identified prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. The respective isolates, were cultured in 2020 and 2017 the early passaged GX_P2V isolate was actually a cell culture-adapted mutant. We assessed its pathogenicity in hACE2 mice. We found that the GX_P2V clone can infect hACE2 mice, with high viral loads detected in both lung and brain tissues. This infection resulted in 100% mortality in the hACE2 mice. We surmise that the cause of death may be linked to the occurrence of late brain infection. All the mice that were infected with the live virus succumbed to the infection within 7-8 days post-inoculation, rendering a mortality rate of 100% 5 days post-infection decrease in body weight 7 days post-infection piloerection, hunched posture, and sluggish movements, and their eyes turned white. 8 hACE2 mice were infected 8 mice inoculated with inactivated virus 8 mice mock-infected Dissections on days 3 and 6 Quantitative analysis of viral RNA and titer. Significant amounts of viral RNA in the brain, lung, turbinate, eye, and trachea no or a low amount of viral RNA was detected in heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, tongue, stomach, and intestines. Lung samples High viral RNA loads on days 3 and 6 post-infection Viral antigens also detected Viral load in the lungs significantly decreased by day 6 Lungs showed minimal inflammation Brain samples Day 3 post-infection, viral RNA was detected in all infected mice, shrunken neurons visible in cerebral cortex Viral antigens also detected Day 6 post-infection, exceptionally high viral RNA loads (∼ 8.5 Log10[copies/mg]) in the brain samples from all infected mice, focal lymphocytic infiltration around the blood vessels. Severe brain infection during the later stages of infection may be the key cause of death in these mice. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report showing that a SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus can cause 100% mortality in hACE2 mice, suggesting a risk for GX_P2V to spill over into humans. Propensity of coronaviruses to undergo adaptive mutation during passage culture. ……. requires further investigation. It is possible that GX_P2V C7 has undergone a virulence-enhancing mutation. Justin Kinney, Simons Center for Quantitative Biology, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, U.S. “The research is still very dangerous, though,” “I am especially concerned that the paper does not say what biosafety level the work was performed at. Coronavirus research in China is often done at a biosafety level (BSL-2) that is inadequate for working with potential pandemic pathogens that might be transmitted by air. “Indeed, coronavirus research done at BSL-2 may have caused the COVID-19 pandemic. And by showing that the coronavirus has a surprisingly high pathogenicity, the work underscores the need for extreme caution when working with novel coronaviruses.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/...

Abstract
Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) present increased risk for ischemic cardiovascular complications up to 1 year after infection. Although the systemic inflammatory response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection likely contributes to this increased cardiovascular risk, whether SARS-CoV-2 directly infects the coronary vasculature and attendant atherosclerotic plaques remains unknown. Here we report that SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA is detectable and replicates in coronary lesions taken at autopsy from severe COVID-19 cases. SARS-CoV-2 targeted plaque macrophages and exhibited a stronger tropism for arterial lesions than adjacent perivascular fat, correlating with macrophage infiltration levels. SARS-CoV-2 entry was increased in cholesterol-loaded primary macrophages and dependent, in part, on neuropilin-1. SARS-CoV-2 induced a robust inflammatory response in cultured macrophages and human atherosclerotic vascular explants with secretion of cytokines known to trigger cardiovascular events. Our data establish that SARS-CoV-2 infects coronary vessels, inducing plaque inflammation that could trigger acute cardiovascular complications and increase the long-term cardiovascular risk.

Nearly 9 million Americans have long COVID, CDC says
CBS News Sep 27, 2023
Reports published Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say nearly 18 million Americans experienced symptoms of long COVID — when symptoms remain for at least four weeks after a patient has cleared the infection — in 2022 and nearly 9 million people currently have the condition, which can linger for months or years. CBS News medical contributor Dr. Celine Gounder, editor-at-large for public health at KFF Health News, has more on the report's findings.

Duration of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine persistence and factors associated with cardiac involvement in recently vaccinated patients
npj Vaccines volume 8, Article number: 141 (2023) Cite this article 790 Altmetric Metricsdetails
Abstract
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the BNT162b2 (BioNTech-Pfizer) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna) mRNA vaccines were expediently designed and mass produced. Both vaccines produce the full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike protein for gain of immunity and have greatly reduced mortality and morbidity from SARS-CoV-2 infection. The distribution and duration of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine persistence in human tissues is unclear. Here, we developed specific RT-qPCR-based assays to detect each mRNA vaccine and screened lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and myocardium from recently vaccinated deceased patients. Vaccine was detected in the axillary lymph nodes in the majority of patients dying within 30 days of vaccination, but not in patients dying more than 30 days from vaccination. Vaccine was not detected in the mediastinal lymph nodes, spleen, or liver. Vaccine was detected in the myocardium in a subset of patients vaccinated within 30 days of death. Cardiac ventricles in which vaccine was detected had healing myocardial injury at the time of vaccination and had more myocardial macrophages than the cardiac ventricles in which vaccine was not detected. These results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines routinely persist up to 30 days from vaccination and can be detected in the heart.

Age-stratified infection fatality rate of COVID-19 in the non-elderly population
Abstract
The largest burden of COVID-19 is carried by the elderly, and persons living in nursing homes are particularly vulnerable. However, 94% of the global population is younger than 70 years and 86% is younger than 60 years. The objective of this study was to accurately estimate the infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 among non-elderly people in the absence of vaccination or prior infection. In systematic searches in SeroTracker and PubMed (protocol: https://osf.io/xvupr), we identified 40 eligible national seroprevalence studies covering 38 countries with pre-vaccination seroprevalence data. For 29 countries (24 high-income, 5 others), publicly available age-stratified COVID-19 death data and age-stratified seroprevalence information were available and were included in the primary analysis. The IFRs had a median of 0.034% (interquartile range (IQR) 0.013–0.056%) for the 0–59 years old population, and 0.095% (IQR 0.036–0.119%) for the 0–69 years old. The median IFR was 0.0003% at 0–19 years, 0.002% at 20–29 years, 0.011% at 30–39 years, 0.035% at 40–49 years, 0.123% at 50–59 years, and 0.506% at 60–69 years. IFR increases approximately 4 times every 10 years. Including data from another 9 countries with imputed age distribution of COVID-19 deaths yielded median IFR of 0.025–0.032% for 0–59 years and 0.063–0.082% for 0–69 years. Meta-regression analyses also suggested global IFR of 0.03% and 0.07%, respectively in these age groups. The current analysis suggests a much lower pre-vaccination IFR in non-elderly populations than previously suggested. Large differences did exist between countries and may reflect differences in comorbidities and other factors. These estimates provide a baseline from which to fathom further IFR declines with the widespread use of vaccination, prior infections, and evolution of new variants.

Nuremberg October 1946 – April 1949 Their experiments differed little from those conducted before the war by German and American scientists. No international law or informal statement differentiated between legal and illegal human experimentation. “Permissible Medical Experiments.” Washington. U.S. Government Printing Office (n.d.), vol. 2., pp. 181-182. One The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion, and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. Before the acceptance of an affirmative decision, subject should know the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity. Two The experiment should yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods, and not random and unnecessary in nature. Three The experiment should be based on the results of animal experimentation, a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem, the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment. Four The experiment should avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury. Five No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects. Six The degree of risk should never exceed, that determined by the humanitarian importance, of the problem to be solved by the experiment. Seven Proper preparations should be made, and adequate facilities provided, to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury disability or death. Eight The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment Nine During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end Ten During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, that continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
Serious adverse events
Dr. John Campbell Sep 11, 2023
What stimulated you to carry out this research in the first place, what got you interested in the topic? You refer to the Brighton Collaboration, what is this and how did this feed in to your thinking? Brighton Collaboration identified adverse events of special interest following covid vaccinations, what adverse events were identified? You conducted a secondary analysis of the placebo-controlled, phase III randomized clinical trials of Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in adults. Tell us a bit about these trials, is this sort of trial standard in testing new pharmaceuticals? What is a secondary analysis? What do you mean by excess risk? What excess risk did you discover? Pfizer vaccines excess risk of serious adverse events 10.1 per 10,000 Higher than placebo baseline of 17.6 per 10,000 Is it fair to say that this transposes into one serious adverse event per 990 vaccines? Moderna vaccines excess risk of serious adverse events 15.1 per 10,000 Higher than placebo baseline of 42.2 per 10,000 Is it fair to say that this transposes into one serious adverse event per 662 vaccines? Combined RNA covid vaccines excess risk of serious adverse events 12.5 per 10,000 Is it fair to say that this transposes into one serious adverse event per 800 vaccines? You also gave reanalysis data in terms of risk ratio. What is risk ratio? Combined, 1.43 Pfizer trial Exhibited, 36 % higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group Risk ratio 1.36 Moderna trial Exhibited, 6 % higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group Risk ratio 1.06 Combined Exhibited, 16 % higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group Risk ratio 1.16 These risks of harm sound high to me, how does this level of risk compare to other vaccines and treatments? You suggest a formal harm-benefit analyses, what is this and how would this be done? What are participant level datasets, are these important. Did you have access to participant level datasets The original vaccine papers indicated high levels of efficacy in protecting against infection. What is the difference between relative and absolute risk? Were these results presented as relative or absolute risk of infection? Would it have been useful if the original vaccine trial papers had presented absolute risk as well as relative risk? FDA Now using near real time surveillance for vaccine safety. Is this near real time claim working, are we getting timely data? Is there a risk of false positives in the FDA data collection, or are false negatives an issue? Can the FDA safely ignore AESIs that are of minimal clinical significance? Is the FDA methodology confirming previously known AESIs, or is it missing some? From where is the FDA collecting data and are the data from all sources pooled to improve the power of the analysis? Is all data being collected from all 50 States? Is all FDA data open to independent peer review?

In January 2020, the system failed as the virus spread. This can be gleaned from documents and interviews conducted by Chinese journalists. They managed to capture a revelatory picture of the struggle by doctors and hospitals despite China’s strict limits on news reporting and its system of censorship. Gilles Demaneuf of the research group DRASTIC, which has been probing the origins of the virus, has compiled and translated these materials in a 193-page report he has shared with the World Health Organization’s Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens. The report was made available to us. The findings are augmented by disclosures from U.S. Right to Know, a freedom-of-information group, and news accounts and congressional investigations in the United States.

Natural immunity wins
Dr. John Campbell Aug 31, 2023
Natural immunity 27 times better Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Naturally Acquired Immunity versus Vaccine-induced Immunity, Reinfections versus Breakthrough Infections: A Retrospective Cohort Study https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/...
Background Waning of protection, conferred by 2 doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine, begins shortly after injection, becomes substantial within 4 months. We examined long-term protection of naturally acquired immunity, compared to vaccine-induced immunity. Group 1, N = 673,676 Vaccine not Infection Group SARS-CoV-2-naive individuals who received a 2-dose regimen of the BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine. Group 2, N = 62,883 Infection not Vaccine Group Previously infected individuals who have not been vaccinated SARS-CoV-2-related outcomes June 1st to August 14th 2021 (Delta variant times) Infection, 13 times more infections in vaccinated group Symptomatic disease, 27 times more disease in vaccinated group Hospitalization, 8 in vaccinated group, 0 in infection group Death 0 / 0 Results When the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. That’s 4 months up to 8 months Vaccinees not Infection Group, 13.06-fold increased risk for infection, compared to Infection not Vaccine Group Group 2, Infection not Vaccine Group, 13 times less likely to get infected with delta Group 2, Infection not Vaccine Group, 27 times less likely to get symptomatic infection. Group 2, Infection not Vaccine Group, 0 COVID-19-related hospitalizations Group 1, Vaccine not Infection Group, 8 COVID-19-related hospitalizations Allowing for more time since first event 6 to 17 months after first event Evidence of waning naturally acquired immunity was demonstrated Vaccine not Infection Group, 5.96-fold increased risk for infection Vaccine not Infection Group, 7.13-fold increased risk for symptomatic disease. Conclusions Naturally acquired immunity confers stronger protection against infection and symptomatic disease caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 2-dose vaccine-indued immunity.

Health-care workers 1,359 unvaccinated, who had previously tested positive, non got infected The study authors concluded: “individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from covid-19 vaccination.” Professor Marty Makary, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, editor-in-chief of Medpage Today https://www.washingtonpost.com/outloo...
It’s okay to have an incorrect scientific hypothesis. But when new data proves it wrong, you have to adapt. Unfortunately, many elected leaders and public health officials have held on far too long to the hypothesis that natural immunity offers unreliable protection against covid-19, a contention that is being rapidly debunked by science. Sixteen studies have demonstrated the power of acquired immunity That’s why it’s so frustrating that the Biden administration has repeatedly argued that immunity conferred by vaccines is preferable to immunity caused by natural infection, In my clinical experience, I have found patients to be extremely forgiving with evolving data if you are honest and transparent with them. The incorrect hypothesis that natural immunity is unreliable has resulted in the loss of thousands of American lives, avoidable vaccine complications, and damaged the credibility of public health officials. it would be good for our public health leaders to show humility by acknowledging that the hypothesis they repeatedly trumpeted was not only wrong, but it may be harmful. Public health officials changing their position on natural immunity, after so much hostility toward the idea, would go a long way in rebuilding the public trust.

Comirnaty: EMA recommends approval of adapted COVID-19 vaccine targeting Omicron XBB.1.5
30/08/2023
EMA’s human medicines committee (CHMP) has recommended authorising an adapted Comirnaty vaccine targeting the Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant.
The vaccine – known as Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 – is to be used for preventing COVID-19 in adults and children from 6 months of age.
In line with previous recommendations by EMA and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), adults and children from 5 years of age who require vaccination should have a single dose, irrespective of their COVID-19 vaccination history.

Significant collaboration between federal, provincial and territorial levels of government, as well as practitioners and pharmacists has permitted the collection, verification and accuracy of the data contained in this report. The number of medically assisted deaths continues to increase in 2020 In 2020, there were 7,595 cases of MAID reported in Canada, accounting for 2.5% of all deaths in Canada. The number of cases of MAID in 2020 represents a growth rate of 34.2% over 2019. All provinces experienced a steady year over year growth during 2020. Total number of medically assisted deaths reported in Canada since the enactment of federal legislation in mid-2016 is 21,589 Profile of MAID recipients Men 51.9% Women 48.1% Average age, 75.3 years Cancer, 69.1% Chronic respiratory conditions, 11.3% Neurological conditions, 10.2% The majority of MAID recipients received palliative care and disability support services 88.5% were reported to have had access to these services had they wished 43.6% of MAID recipients were reported as requiring disability support services Primary care physicians remain as the principal MAID providers, but the administration of MAID has shifted to home-based settings 1,345 unique practitioners administered MAID in Canada 94.7% of providers were physicians 5.3% of providers were nurse practitioners 68.1% of cases of MAID were administered by a family physician The most commonly cited intolerable physical or psychological suffering Loss of ability to engage in meaningful activities, 84.9% Loss of ability to perform activities of daily living, 81.7% The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health As Minister of Health, I am proud to present Health Canada's Second Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying (2020).

Therefore up to 98% not reported. A system beset by conflicts of interest MHRA approach to patient safety requires a radical overhaul encompassing legislative changes on reporting and, in a system beset by conflicts of interest, changes to how the MHRA is funded. A failure to act will only lead to more harm. CDC latest guidelines https://twitter.com/FDAHealthEquity/s... https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19... MPs warned Yellow Card system and vaccine damage payment scheme failing injury victims https://appgpandemic.org/news/yellow-... https://appgpandemic.org 17 July 2023 The Pandemic Response and Recovery All-Party Parliamentary Group, failings of the Yellow Card system Professor Carl Heneghan Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine at the University of Oxford, Director of the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine and an NHS General Practitioner working in urgent care. Under-reporting of adverse drug reactions to the Yellow Card system could be as high as 98%, https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk meaning the ability to detect signals and assign causation is substantially hindered. In theory, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) relies on the early warning system provided by Yellow Card reports of suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs), to signal possible harms from pharmaceuticals. In practice the system is woefully inadequate, much too complicated and is failing. If you consider that ADRs are a major cause of hospital admissions, 6.5%, then Yellow Card reports represent a valuable source of information, not only to protect public health but reduce the cost to the health system, which can only be a good thing. But the ability to detect signals and assign causation are hindered by substantial problems, not least under-reporting. In 2018 the MHRA “estimated that only 10% of serious reactions and between 2 and 4% of non-serious reactions are reported” MHRA Reporting rates for covid vaccines are better due to higher public awareness, there appears to be no evidence base for this heightened awareness. Should the MHRA, our regulatory body, be primarily funded by fees derived from services to the pharmaceutical industry? We could improve the reporting system and the MHRA has published various strategies and proposals to do so but fine words butter no parsnips. The bottom line is that the MHRA has failed in its remit to keep patients safe. Peter Todd Solicitor acting for 43 who suffered blood clots as a result of AstraZeneca vaccination, VDPS https://www.gov.uk/vaccine-damage-pay... is letting down those with injuries and families of those who died as a result of their injury, with some applications taking more than 18 months. “I have dealt with such cases for many years, including acting for 86 people who contracted narcolepsy due to the 2009 Pandemrix swine flu vaccine. I have noticed many parallels between that and the Covid vaccine, a hasty roll out of an under-tested emergency vaccine using new technology, and for which the government gave an indemnity against any civil claims. VDPS as of 20 June, of 6,183 applications for compensation, it has determined 2,101, 33% so far, and 139 applications have been waiting for more than 18 months, excessively long despite additional resources. Pandemic Response and Recovery APPG Co-Chair Esther McVey “What we heard has been extremely concerning. The entire system is failing patients, from start to finish. MHRA’s approach to patient safety, the inadequacy of the Yellow Card system …. are all compromised and that is severely compromising patient safety. “One serious concern is the knock on effect on people’s inclination to have vaccines generally. Many could be dissuaded from taking other vaccines, we have all seen the recent warnings of a measles outbreak in London due to low levels of vaccination. These vaccines seem to have a disproportionate adverse reaction rate, with injuries including strokes, blood clots, heart attacks, amputations and neurological conditions. So a reporting system that misses as many as 98 out of 100 adverse reactions, inevitably misses safety signals. Pandemic Response and Recovery APPG Co-Chair Graham Stringer MP I think the example of the time lag between AstraZeneca being suspended in Denmark, Norway and Iceland and being suspended here is a case in point. Why did the MHRA not act when its scientific review of UK reports of blood clots with lowered platelets concluded strong evidence of a link with AstraZeneca’s vaccine?

UK Covid Update Today | Covid 19 Cases In UK Increases As New Covid Variant Eris Spreads Rapidly A new Covid variant has been found spreading across the UK, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). Dubbed the Eris variant, EG.5.1 now accounts for one in seven Covid cases in the country as rates continue to rise. Although there has been a small spike in most age groups, the agency says overall hospital rates are low. The strain, which descends from Omicron, was first raised as a concern by UKHSA on July 3. It is now the second most prevalent coronavirus strain in the UK after Arcturus.
EG.5.1 Nicknamed ‘Eris’ Is New Covid-19 Variant Spreading, Monitored By WHO

The “EG” in EG.5.1 doesn’t mean “for example.” But the EG.5.1 variant of the Covid-19 coronavirus that’s now spreading is yet another example of how the virus will continue to mutate, regardless of how many people try to ignore the fact that the virus remains a threat. And, Va Va VUM, on July 19, 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) added EG.5# as yet another severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant on its variant under monitoring (VUM) list. The “#” is not supposed to represent a social media hashtag. Instead, it’s to indicate that this particular VUM currently includes any variant that begins with EG.5 such as EG.5 and EG.5.1.

Myocardial Injury after COVID-19 mRNA-1273 Booster Vaccination https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/e...
Department of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Research Institute Basel (ESC Heart Failure, open-access journal of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology) Prospective active surveillance study (Not a retrospective passive surveillance study) Industry independent, instigated by the investigators Aims Incidence and potential mechanisms of oligosymptomatic myocardial injury, following COVID-19 mRNA booster vaccination. Safety net for those already boosted, screening and prevention of complications Methods and Results December 2021 to February 2022 Hospital employees scheduled to undergo mRNA-1273 booster vaccination, assessed for mRNA-1273 vaccination-associated myocardial injury, defined as acute dynamic increase in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) concentration, above the sex-specific upper-limit of normal on day 3 (48-96h) after vaccination without evidence of an alternative cause. 777 participants Median age 37 years, 69.5% women 40 participants (5.1%) had elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T concentration on day 3 (Taken as above the 99th percentile for age and sex) mRNA-1273 vaccine-associated myocardial injury was adjudicated in 22 participants (2.8%). One in 35 recipients (2.8%) had vaccine-associated myocardial injury Of the 777, 2 women had chest pain Of these 22 cases with mRNA-1273 vaccine-associated myocardial injury Twenty cases occurred in women Two in men Hs-cTnT-elevations were mild and only temporary. No patient had ECG- changes, none developed major adverse cardiac events within 30 days In the overall booster cohort hs-cTnT concentrations, on day 3 Median 5 ng/L, IQR, 4-6 Matched controls (n=777), 3 ng/L IQR, 3-5 Significantly higher p less than 0.001 (If elevated on day3, given warning, investigations and advice) No MACE (major adverse cardiac events) within 30 days Cases had comparable systemic reactogenicity Concentrations of cytokines and cytokine antagonists were markers quantifying systemic inflammation Lower concentrations GM-CSF (Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor) induces the development of monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and myeloid and dermal dendritic cells. IFN- λ1(IL-29) a group of anti-viral cytokines, that consists of four IFN-λ molecules Conclusion mRNA-1273 vaccine-associated myocardial injury was more common than previously thought, being mild and transient, and more frequent in women versus men. The possible protective role of IFN-λ1(IL-29) and GM-CSF warrant further studies.

Excess deaths with Senator Rennick
Dr. John Campbell Jul 18, 2023
Senator Gerard Rennick (Queensland) in an open discussion about excess deaths and vaccine related issues in Australia. Western Australian Vaccine Safety Surveillance – Annual Report 2021 https://www.health.wa.gov.au/~/media/...
Western Australia had implemented a stringent lockdown of borders and there were virtually NO cases of Covid-19 in Western Australia during 2021. The vaccine role out began February 2021. So that demonstrates the adverse reactions resulted directly from the Covid-19 vaccines and NOT the Covid-19 virus. Is there something here for the rest of Australia and indeed the world to learn from? Of all the adverse events following immunisation that took place in the WA population, what percentage would you estimate were actually reported to the Western Australian Vaccine Safety Surveillance (WAVSS)? What do you think the culture was in the health care services during the vaccine role out, was it to encourage reporting of potential adverse events or was the culture to discourage reporting to WAVSS? In WA in 2020, 2,071,167 doses of pre-covid (traditional) vaccines were given to the population as a whole, this resulted in 270 reports of adverse events following immunisation. For the 3,948,673 COVID-19 vaccines given in 2021, there were 10,726 individual AEFI reports in 2021. (97% of these reports followed covid vaccination) What do you think this tells us about the frequency of adverse events following covid vaccines in comparison to traditional vaccines? This is a horrendous volume of adverse events following immunisation. Do you feel the rate of adverse events would be equally high throughout the rest of Australia? (or was WA a ‘special case’) Total reported AEFI rate following a COVID-19 vaccine was 264.1 per 100,000 doses. For non-covid (traditional) vaccinations in WA, during the same 2021-time frame there were 11.1 events per 100,000 doses. Why did we had to waite until July 2023 to get this data? Should this have been seen as a ‘red flag’ by the regulators contemporaneously in 2021? If so, what should they have done about the problem? Some of the important AEFI that have been specifically monitored by the TGA-coordinated national surveillance vaccine safety program include, Anaphylaxis, Thrombosis with thrombocytopaenia syndrome (TTS), Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), Myocarditis, Pericarditis, Myopericarditis, Chest pain, Deep venous thrombosis, Pulmonary embolism and Bell’s palsy, to name but a few. Given that we know all of this now, how should this effect the regulatory approval of the current mRNA vaccines? In 2021 there were 1,125 appointments made at the adult vaccine safety clinic at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, up from seven appointments made in 2020. Do you consider this level of referrals indicated the vaccines were safe? In 2021 there were 439 appointments made at the Perth Children’s Hospital specialist immunisation clinic, up from 214 in 2020. Does this have any implications for vaccinating children with covid vaccines? This is a quote from the report ‘Adverse events of special interest (AESI) were monitored by the Department during the COVID-19 vaccination program.’ Does this imply that the regulators knew about these adverse events early on, since they knew to look out for them? If these adverse reactions were known about in 2021, is it almost like the population were being used to gather data on these adverse reactions, rather than protecting them? As a Senator, you have been trying to question the quality assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccines, the logic of vaccine mandates as well as many other policy areas – Do you feel you have been punished for your stance?

US flying blind amid warnings of new COVID-19 surge
By multiple early indications, the United States has entered yet another surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, with wastewater levels, emergency room visits for COVID-19 and test positivity rates all on the rise across much of the country.
Between June 24 and July 12, the Biobot wastewater tracker showed a 46 percent increase nationally, concentrated in the South and on the coasts. According to one infectious disease modeler, these wastewater levels translate to roughly 280,000 Americans presently being infected with COVID-19 each day and rising.

US Suspends Wuhan Institute Funds Over Covid Stonewalling
By Riley GriffinJuly 18, 2023 at 6:42 PM EDTUpdated on July 18, 2023 at 10:40 PM EDT
The Biden administration formally halted the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s access to US funding, citing unanswered safety and security questions for the facility at the center of the Covid lab leak theory.
The Department of Health and Human Services notified the institute about the suspension on Monday and told the lab it’s seeking to cut it off permanently, according to a memo obtained by Bloomberg News. An HHS review that started in September raised concern that the facility based in Wuhan, where Covid first emerged, is violating biosafety protocols and isn’t complying with US regulations.
A string of deadly heat waves has upended daily life across much of the world, straining businesses and threatening power grids.

Rapidly spreading fungus already in 28 states, including Illinois, presents ‘urgent’ threat, CDC war
WGN News Mar 21, 2023
A fungus that poses “an urgent antimicrobial resistance threat,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has already been detected in more than half of U.S. states. Candida auris, or C. auris, is so concerning because it is often resistant to anti-fungal drugs, making it hard to treat infections. It can also be hard to identify with standard lab tests, making it even more difficult to treat properly and early.

Former CDC Director Robert Redfield: Why I Believe COVID-19 Came From Lab Leak

'Dr. Fauci Prompted The Drafting Of A Publication That Would Disprove The Lab-Leak Theory': GOP Rep
Forbes Breaking News Mar 13, 2023
At a House Coronavirus Committee hearing last Wednesday, Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) spoke about the need to probe the origins of COVID-19.
Lab leak information redacted
Dr. John Campbell Mar 11, 2023
Oxford University https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023... Anton van der Merwe, professor, molecular immunology Wuhan researchers were importing bat coronaviruses, had applied for grants to increase their infectiousness (gain-of-function research) False impression given in journals https://www.thelancet.com/journals/la... We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin. Bob Seely MP It’s pathetic You have this unholy and unethical alliance of scientists working together through highly influential publications effectively to kibosh what may be a scientific truth, and get it pushed into the realms of conspiracy theory. We need to be asking tough questions about the origins, otherwise who knows what virus will be released next, through incompetence and ambition and how many more millions it will be killing. This is not some political game. We’ve got to find out where this thing came from. If you had a virus that suddenly emerged a few hundred yards from Porton Down, this country would never be able to get away with it. (Or a few miles from Camp Detrick, Maryland) Anton van der Merwe, professor, molecular immunology The conflict arises from the fact the researchers perform, and want to continue to perform, precisely the sorts of experiment that make a lab leak much more likely. These include gain-of-function experiments, where they investigate whether they can enable, by genetic modification, an animal virus to infect human cells. It is argued that this could help us identify potentially dangerous organisms in the wild and so prevent a pandemic. This seems unlikely. What is more likely is that these organisms will infect those doing the experiments, who could unwittingly spread the virus to the community, and possibly the whole world little justification for doing such experiments, except scientific curiosity and the desire for prestige US position, Wuhan Institute of Virology Case will be proved soon Senate unanimously passed bill last week https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-new... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hous... House of Representatives Republicans and Democrats voted, 419 – 0 Require Director of National Intelligence (Avril Haines) to declassify all intelligence That includes, activities performed by the Wuhan Institute of Virology with or on behalf of the People’s Liberation Army coronavirus research or other related activities performed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology prior to the outbreak of Covid-19 WIV workers who got sick 90 days could be allowed after passing a bill Department of Energy and the FBI House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner The American public deserves answers to every aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including how this virus was created and specifically, whether it was a natural occurrence of was the result of a lab-related event Dr Robert Redfield former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention I still believe today that the data indicates that the outbreak of Covid 19 was more likely the result of a lab leak than as a result of a natural spillover event Representative Greg Murphy Believes Dr. Anthony Fauci, knew it came from the Wuhan lab and tried to cover it up. In January of 2020, Dr. Fauci received emails that promulgated that COVID-19 looked engineered and not from the wild, Yet three weeks later, to save his own skin, he commissioned a scientific paper which ‘debunked’ the lab theory. He was academically and intellectually dishonest. The truth is that Dr. Fauci and his institution funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to promote dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology without proper guardrails Rep. Jim Himes There’s not one iota of evidence for any of that (Still wants evidence released) At every juncture, the People's Republic of China government has obfuscated and obstructed legitimate inquiries and investigations into the origins of the disease China’s approach has been deeply irresponsible and dangerous to global public health Mr Hancock Asked to remove passages from Pandemic Diaries Questioned the official Chinese version https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023... Simon Case, Cabinet Secretary Concerns, they would cause problems could damage national security Cabinet Office Entirely coincidental that Covid-19 was discovered close to a Chinese government laboratory.

What do we know about the Covid-19 lab leak theory? - BBC Newsnight
BBC News Mar 3, 2023 #Newsnight #BBCNews
The origin of Covid-19 still eludes the scientific community, but the FBI's assertion that Covid-19 most likely originated in a Chinese government-controlled lab has ramped up the debate. The FBI's position runs contrary to some other US government agencies, some of whom have said, with a low level of certainty, that the virus did not start in a lab but instead jumped from animals to humans, possibly in Wuhan's seafood and wildlife market. Now the World Health Organisation has responded saying that until they have conclusive evidence, all hypotheses are on the table. What evidence do we have of how the pandemic spread so fast and so far? Newsnight's David Grossman reports.

Why Men Die Younger Than Women (And How To Fix It)
Most men die before women do in the United States. American women lived on to 79 years old on average in 2021, compared to men, who only live until about 73 years old, according to CDC data. The U.S. has the highest rate of avoidable deaths, which is measured as death before the age of 75, among men than any comparable country. The life expectancy gender gap can have serious implications for society as a whole. But there hasn't always been such a large gap between men and women. What became known as "the female advantage" emerged around 1890 and continued to grow throughout the 20th century, except for a decline during the 1918 flu pandemic. This change over time suggests to researchers that there could be an environmental component to life expectancy. That means there are some steps we can take to work toward helping men live longer. "Everybody, men as well as women, benefit from a suite of particular behaviors," Karraker said. "A healthy diet, getting physical activity, not smoking, no-to-moderate alcohol consumption, maintaining deep, supportive social relationships. These are things that benefit everybody, including men." Watch the video above to learn why men don’t live as long as women and what we can do about it.
