Dr Helen Westwood, a GP whose previous letters and comments have appeared on Lockdown Sceptics, wrote to her MP Sir Graham Brady in March with some concerns about the vaccines and the potential for coercion. She has now received a reply from Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi that is far from reassuring.
Here’s what she wrote.
Dear Sir Graham,
Firstly I wish to thank you again for your ongoing hard work in arguing for a more proportionate response to dealing with COVID-19. The concerns I wish to raise with you today relate to the vaccination program and the proposition of vaccination certificates.
As you know I am a GP. I am horrified by the talk of ‘No Jab, No Job’ policies and vaccination certificates.
The GMC are very clear that “all patients have the right to be involved in decisions about their treatment and care” and that “doctors must be satisfied that they have a patient’s consent… before providing treatment or care”. They also state “doctors must… share relevant information about the benefits and harms of proposed options and reasonable alternatives, including the option to take no action”.
Following interim analysis of the ongoing clinical trials, emergency use authorisation has been granted by the MHRA for both the Pfizer BioNTech and the AstraZeneca vaccines. They are as yet unlicensed. The clinical trials are due to continue until 2023. I find it alarming that much attention is paid to the headline figures of relative risk reduction (RRR) with no mention of the absolute risk reduction (ARR). The RRR of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine is 95.1% (CI 90.0%-97.6%, p=0.016). Dig a little deeper into the data and you learn that the ARR is only 0.7% (CI 0.59%-0.83%, p<0.001) and the number needed to vaccinate in order to prevent one infection is 142 (CI 122-170).
The WHO published a bulletin written by John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine at Stanford University, in October 2020. He quotes an infection fatality rate (IFR) for Covid of 0.00-0.57% and in those under the age of 70 it stands at 0.05%.
Given the minimal risk healthy people under the age of 70 face, and the very small absolute risk reductions noted in the clinical trials, I have to ask why are we so desperate to vaccinate the whole population? For healthy, working age people Covid poses less of a risk than seasonal flu. It has never been proposed that we vaccinate the entire adult population against flu; we target the populations most at risk.
The speed at which these vaccines have been developed is truly remarkable. However, I have grave concerns that they are being rolled out on such a scale and at such pace. I am not sure whether you are familiar with the work of Joel Smalley MBA (a member of HART) but he has done some very interesting analysis of mortality data. Whilst correlation (between vaccination administration and rises in mortality) absolutely does not mean causation, the striking patterns he has highlighted suggest to me that now is the time to pause and reflect on the data we have so far. We know from the clinical trials that the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine causes a drop in lymphocytes around seven days post administration; theoretically at least this could pose a risk of intercurrent infection, especially in frail patients.
Both vaccines in current use in England employ novel technology, namely mRNA (Pfizer BioNTech) and Adenovirus vector (AZ). Human challenge studies have only recently begun. We do not currently know anything about the medium and long term safety of these vaccines. There are concerns about Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) reactions whereby vaccinated individuals may develop more severe disease upon exposure to the wild virus. Theoretical concerns have also been raised about potential cross reactivity with Syncytin-1 which could have effects on placental development and therefore fertility. Until these areas have been studied we cannot advise patients fully. This has significant implications for the informed consent process.
There seems to be some enthusiasm for “vaccination passports” among the population, whether for domestic use or international travel. These have been compared to Yellow Fever certificates that are required for individuals travelling to certain destinations. In reality there is no comparison. The mortality rate for Yellow Fever is in the region of 30%, transmission of Yellow Fever is confined to a relatively small number of countries and there are long term safety data available regarding the licensed vaccine.
Uptake of the Covid vaccine has been notably lower amongst certain ethnic minorities. The reasons for this are as yet unclear, but any policy requiring proof of vaccination has the potential to lead to indirect discrimination.
Professor Chris Whitty has said that doctors and care workers have a “professional responsibility” to get vaccinated. Given that reduction of transmission is not an outcome that is being measured in the clinical trials that are still ongoing, I do not agree with him. Article 6 of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights states: “Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice.”
On November 4th 2020 Theresa May MP made a speech in the House of Commons. She was referring to the closure of places of worship when she said, “My concern is that the Government today making it illegal to conduct an act of public worship, for the best of intentions, sets a precedent that could be misused by a Government in future with the worst of intentions, and that has unintended consequences.” I fear the same could be said for the introduction of vaccination passports.
Personally I have declined this vaccine because of the concerns outlined above. I hope this decision does not mean I am unable to work, visit a restaurant or travel.
Yours sincerely,Dr Helen Westwood
Here is Nadhim Zahawi’s response, passed on to Dr Westood by Sir Graham Brady.
This is how Dr Westwood replied this week.
Dear Sir Graham,
Thank you for sending me the letter you received from Nadhim Zahawi MP, Minister for Business and Industry & Minister for COVID Vaccine Deployment in response to the representations you made to him on my behalf. I have attached his letter and my original email.
I must say I find his responses entirely unsatisfactory. He has failed to address any of my concerns. I know he is an intelligent man, so I can only assume that he has been deliberately disingenuous rather than not understanding the questions posed.
I am already aware of the processes involved in the development and testing of new drugs. I understand that Phases 2 and 3 are usually run sequentially but, given the urgency of this situation, a pragmatic decision was taken to run them in parallel. For elderly patients at increased risk from COVID-19 infection I can understand this approach. However, when the program is being rolled out to younger, healthy individuals whose risk-benefit ratio is entirely different, an alternative approach is required. It is imperative that individuals are not exposed to a greater risk of harm undergoing a medical intervention than the risk of not doing anything. Primum non nocere. Since my original email, significant concerns have been raised in a number of European countries about the risk of rare cerebral venous sinus thromboses associated with thrombocytopenia. Young, fit, healthy people who were at negligible risk of COVID-19 have tragically died.
Mr Zahawi has elected not to make any comment on the concerns I raised regarding rises in mortality in the immediate post-vaccination period. This is a pattern that has been repeated in multiple locations, currently most notably in India. I would like to know what research is being done by the UK Government to investigate this.
I note that Mr Zahawi referred to the fact that the UK “currently operates a system of informed consent for vaccinations”. I have two concerns regarding this statement. Firstly, how is the consent fully informed if we do not know the answers to the questions I have raised? I know from first hand experience that individuals attending for Covid vaccinations are not routinely being informed that the clinical trials are ongoing until 2023. Nor is the potential issue of antibody dependent enhancement being discussed. The advice for vaccinating pregnant women changes virtually day by day. Secondly, why does he need to use the word “currently”? Are there plans for mandatory vaccination in future? Already there are discussions about making vaccination compulsory for care home workers. In September 2019 the Guardian reported that Secretary of State for Health Matt Hancock was seriously considering making vaccinations compulsory for state school pupils. I defy anyone not to find this proposal chilling.
With regard to black, Asian and minority ethnic populations, again Mr Zahawi seems to have entirely missed my point. I was not arguing for the prioritisation of these groups; I was pointing out that uptake in these groups has been lower and therefore any certification system has the potential to lead to indirect discrimination.
I agree with Mr Zahawi that an effective vaccine is an excellent way to protect those that need protection, but it also needs to be safe. Given his failure to address the concerns I raised I can only assume he does not have answers to my questions.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Helen Westwood

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Zahawi’s a nut and obviously didn’t take the hint of last Saturday’s march (maybe he watches the BBC). There will be civil conflict if criminals like this Minister of the Pfizer/Astra Zeneca Crown gets his way.
The UK operates a system of harassment, bullying, threatened discrimination, snd relentless lying propaganda.
And that is on the kindly, caring days.
Currently
Deformed consent
Very sorry if you’ve seen this before; I’m just trying to get it out to as many people as possible before Big Brother takes it down. Please save it, download it, upload it to safer sites and share it with as many people as possible. We wouldn’t be having this conversation at all if the events detailed in the video did not take place:
https://youtu.be/M6Df8HXyhao
I viewed that following your previous postings and highly recommend it as Well Worth Watching for all in the sceptic community.
And any lazy journalists passing by.
Thank you for making your concerns public. I think I would be inclined to send your letters and the response from Mr Zahawi to Reiner Fuellmich. He is part of an international team of lawyers collecting evidence for what he calls Nuremburg 2. And, he’s deadly serious.
https://brandnewtube.com/watch/reiner-fuellmich-60-minute-foundation-for-the-defense-of-the-people-039-s-rights-and-freedom-19-04_HE2WvSejMIaBaRQ.html
We definitely need someone of Fuellmich’s calibre to take this on against the UK. i really hope he gets somewhere with his litigation
Sofar, he was and is just waffling.
That’s what the directors of Volkswagen AG & Deutsche Bank AG thought.
As with the tobacco companies and the currently topical Johnson & Johnson re carcinogenic talcum powder.
Let’s just hope that if or when his ‘waffling’ proves to be unsuccessful – most likely through no fault of his own, those that can see get out from behind their keyboards and walk the walk huh.
The forensic detail of the original letter is brilliant, as is the riposte to Zahawi – and totally reasoned.
The response is pathetic.
“ I know he is an intelligent man”
Well – sorry – that is polite. But no-one of real intelligence would try to fob off an informed correspondent with such shite. I have been (moons ago) in the political game myself in a minor way – and responsible for a controversial area, but I would never have demeaned myself with such double-speak.
As to the use of ‘currently’ : be afraid. Be very afraid of those who leave the door open to undermining the essential principles of medical ethics and the standards embodied in the Nuremberg Protocols, because – unless this is clarified otherwise – they are on the side of Mengele, not civilization.
“But no-one of real intelligence would try to fob off an informed correspondent with such shite. “ Sorry but I disagree: a sociopath, narcissist or psychopath would. Just sayin.
I don’t think you even have to be sociopathic to reply with such shite, when you know you have all the power. He can tell Dr Westwood to eff off, with whatever nonsense he chooses to use, because there’s nothing she can do. Who’s she gonna call?
Precisely. The government are lying and abusing power. We know that. We can see that. We can prove that. In normal times we could take this to Opposition, to the media, to rebellious backbenchers, even to the courts. We know that today, all of those avenues are blanked off to us. The authoritarians have near total power.
We are told that we now live in this totalitarian authoritarian state, because it is necessary for our safety. Pretty sure they always said that.
I said ‘real’ correspondent – i.e the implication is that he is used to fobbing off Covidiots.
It is an interesting and disturbing read. What worries me is that they will try to mandate the ‘vaccines’ in small steps to reduce immediate opposition. They will first make it mandatory for care home workers only and for no one else. There will be less opposition to this as most people can still continue to go to the pub and only a few are affected. They will then move to NHS workers in general and so on. This will continue until it is impossible for anyone to live properly without accepting the vaccine. For this reason it is essential for all to oppose any groups being forced/coerced into having now. Not only is it the morally right thing to do it is also necessary to stop a precedent being set. I am not a care worker but will stand with them against this for the reasons above as they seem to be the first target.
They’ll also pick those new to their jobs as employment protections are less robust for them
Absolutely. First they came for the jews and then they came for me.
bear in mind that Judea declared war on Germany in 1933 , this may account for hostility in Germany against Jews , not that local German Jews had any say in teh matter as it was all decided by financiers
Good on this Doctor! Informed Consent? What information?!!! Everyone I’ve spoken to who has had the vaccine didn’t get any detailed information, not that they asked or were even aware that they should be informed, in their excitement to have the jabs. I have been harassed non-stop with texts, and the letter I received just told me I was suddenly (after a whole year) “extremely, clinically vulnerable” and that I must book my vaccines as soon as possible – with absolutely no information whatsoever. Isn’t everyone supposed to receive a PIL – Public Information Leaflet from the NHS? When they finally called me I bluntly told them I didn’t want the vaccines, end of. It’s been quiet since. On another note WHY is the government STILL not addressing the ADRs and deaths, occurring shortly after people received their jabs? Silly question, I know…
The information is already wrong and uninformed, if as and when the word vaccine is used instead of gene therapy.
Interesting but:
(a) Why has it taken so long for outright opposition to be voiced so openly by a UK GP when most of the information contained has been in the public realm for several months?
(b) Why has a similar open letter not been sent to the PM signed by hundreds, indeed thousands of GPs? Given the significance of the points raised, one would expect the BMA to pay for it to be printed in the Times as a full page advert.
The medical profession will have a lot to answer for at the end of this debacle, indeed if it ever ends given (and I quote)
It appears for 13 months the medical profession abandoned any pretence of ethical responsibility, and in that time power obsessed politicians, doomsday modelling experts, mega-rich megalomaniacs and an unholy alliance of subsidised (risk free) corporate ambition and state coercion has filled the void. It will take a lot more than a letter to change this.
As a GP who has worked seeing patients face to face from day 1 and not hiding behind telephones or locked doors I think your comment is uncharitable. . I commend Dr Westwood for her courage in writing such a letter and letting LS publish it for the public. All the commentators here are anonymous and whether you are B.F . Finlayson or Joe Blogs no one can identify you . At work my sceptical stance is well known and I have been called a ” maverick “, ” a conspiracy theorist ” and a ” covid denier ” by colleagues to my face. It isn’t nice .
Dr Sunitra Gupta one of the most prominent sceptics has received so much public abuse over the last year yet she has stood firm The courage these medical professionals have shown has been incredible . Why not praise them instead of carping.
Individually there have been examples of brave stands. Collectively the medical profession has not covered itself in glory.
Agreed. I don’t think any walk of life has been free from this sort of brow beating. But to stand up when you’re literally bearing all the weight of the counter narrative, must take balls of steel.
I’m afraid generalized ranting is just a by-product of the situation.
Congratulations on holding a principled line.
Yours is a very very difficult position to be in given the present climate. I am retired from the NHS after 30 plus years and glad of that as my friends who still are employed feel the coercion and are shocked at how the NHS has been portrayed as in need of protection. People working in many different fields all report the same drop off of use of NHS services. I am glad and grateful you take the time to comment here.
Yes I understand your position and that of other doctors. You have been told to follow PHE and NHS advice/instructions and threatened with being struck off if you refuse.
My answer to this, is tell the world, very loudly. Do not hide this hideous wrongdoing. There will be pressure and personal sacrifice, but do what you know you should do.
Dr Westwood is brave, if enough of you follow her example her bravery will be rewarded.
Well said
You must be in an awful position and I’m sure many of us are grateful to those in the medical profession willing to stand up for what is right. Thank you.
As a GP you have an ethical responsibility to speak up when something is wrong in your field of expertise. This ethical burden is shared throughout all professions, and comes in different forms, but is perhaps best understood in the form of the oath taken by all doctors.
Over the last 13 months we have seen too many expert opinions go missing, despite compelling evidence against lockdown, face masks and experimental vaccines. And yes, I am just an another anonymous Joe Bloggs commenter on a general blog with many other JB-type commenters trying to make sense of a situation when a strong, expert led, national counter narrative by the medical profession is conspicuous by its near-absence. One sceptical comment by a doctor is worth a hundred of mine, I agree, but where are they?
I would have thought the behaviour of Dr Gupta and Dr Westwood should be the norm, not the exception in the current situation. Does a professional need praise for doing their job, I know I do not expect it when I have spoken out against practices I have found questionable or corrupt within my own profession? Nevertheless I have often praised the brave nurses and NHS whistleblowers speaking out through other websites, and highlighted them on this website.
Instead of taking exception to my comment, I think your profession would be better taking exception to government policy; and start to realise the public are looking to you as the only trusted line of defence. This is now your fight, and presumably that’s why you chose to be a doctor?
Thank you Peter, please carry on for all our sakes, Sceptics and beguiled equally.
I looked this brave woman up to see where she is on the off-chance I could register at her practice. Sadly we don’t appear to have any of this courageous brand of GP locally to me. I literally look up every dissenting GP I come across on the off-chance. I avoid the GP Practice like the plague, as a rule because whatever my ailment it’s treated with either a flu vaccine or a cervical smear.
I also always get the new guy as a bit of a hazing exercise, even though it’s written in my notes that I must not have locums, certain GPs that I have caught breaking codes of practice, or registrars. Cue a quick turn-around and a trip to the private GP which I threaten to Bill them for. I’m not sure DR Westwood would live me as a patient, but I’d take care to be extra nice if I had such an intelligent, brave GP, so worthy of respect, (though I still draw the line at a smear for a sinus infection).
Do they get a bonus for cervical smears like they do for statins?
Yes they certainly do which is why they push them so much. You can opt out of any of the so called health screening tests but it’s a painstaking process and the information about doing this is deliberately made difficult to find.
Peter, I couldn’t think more highly of you for the stance you’ve taken in the face of adversity from your cowardly colleagues. Should perchance the time come, I’ll gladly and most willingly come to your practice, stick my boot on their faces and see how they like it – for that’s how it’s starting to feel to me and it isn’t a nice feeling at all. Turning the other cheek isn’t gonna turn this around.
They’re aiding and abetting criminals, end of. They’re either so stupid that they have no place practicing medicine or, so cowardly that they have no place breathing free fresh air.
Apologies for the tone. Thank you for standing alone.
I think GPs could also make a stand by not persistently harassing patients with letters, phone calls and texts. My husband and I are both fit and healthy 61 year olds who are not on medication and rarely visit the surgery. I’ve painstakingly opted out of other health screening tests and my husband simply ignores the invitations so it’s hardly surprising we haven’t rushed forward for the experimental vaccine. It should be obvious to even the thickest of the thick that we’re not interested but they still persist in hounding us. I’m actually from a Romany background and have a deep seated distrust of the medical profession and an extreme fear of hospitals after being assaulted by a nurse as a child. The approach by doctors regarding the so called vaccine and the ban on visitors in hospitals has made me far less likely to seek help should I develop medical problems in the future.
Dissenting HCPs are few and far between. I admire your stance but I can tell you that in my town all GPs’ surgeries are still inaccessible. There seems to be a iron curtain around the NHS.
Come on GPs, care home staff, consultants, nurses, BMA get together. Act now. We will support you.
This government is terrifying me.
Evil, wicked and cruel. Please stop them.
At the demonstration in London on Saturday, I was very moved by the sight of two young female nurses marching in their NHS uniforms.
‘Nurses are afraid to speak’ placard ?
Bravo that lady !.
Did they tell people about the risk of blood clots? Did they let people know that the vaccine wasnt fully tested and had skipped animal testing?
What about the propaganda and psychological manipulation to get the vaccine, was that revealed to those getting the shot?
And what about all of the deaths and injuries that are being covered up? You have to declare those in order to inform.
These vaccines have been rolled out without informed consent. Coerced vaccines are sure to follow.
If only the leader of the opposition had legal training…
Traitor. He knows what he is doing. Hopefully the legal system will be catching up with these people before long. I like the idea of this Doctor contacting Reiner Fuellmich as another reader mentioned, good idea
If the people of the UK had proper informed consent, which this liar Zahawi cynically claims, there is no way on Earth as many would have signed up. If they had been properly informed of the actual risk of Covid19 (as close to zero as you can get – 99.97% survival rate in the under 70s https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/eci.13423) compared to the known dangers and potential for greater harm than the already significant known dangers, they would have passed on being part of the experiment.
18 Reasons I Won’t Be Getting a Covid Vaccine
https://www.deconstructingconventional.com/post/18-reason-i-won-t-be-getting-a-covid-vaccine
If people were informed that they were part of the trial, many would have declined for that alone. But they were not told. They have, for the vast majority, been criminally misled into taking this crap. The risk of Antibody Dependent Enhancement (or Vaccine Enhanced Disease) alone, even if it does not materialise, but the fact that every single previous attempt at making a Coronavirus vaccine ended in animals dying and getting very ill, means that certain players should be spending the rest of their lives behind bars for their role in this. It is so criminal, words cannot do justice

I have been following Reiner Fuellmich since October last year. May God grant him success. Also Michael O’Bernicia is worth watching, a good man with the right ideas.
Dr. Westwood seems to be one of the few proper doctors remaining.
Well over 90% of them seem to be corrupt quacks by now (anyone who thinks a cloth mask upholds a virus is one by definition).
The use of the word ‘currently’, especially by this previously found openly lying on vax passports creep, in conjunction with what Gates and the G7 stated (‘everyone will get vaccinated’, ‘no one safe until everybody safe’) indeed suggests darkest times ahead.
I am even more convinced now that the politicians are blackmailed by Gates and are dutifully following and executing his plan.
Nothing made and makes sense otherwise.
In Germany, a few civil rights are now bestowed back upon the vaxxed only and a doctor just told a friend that this is absolutely in order and must be so, because one must create incentives to make people get the Covid jab.
Which raises two questions:
1. Why on Earth would a beneficial vaccination need an incentive?
2. How on Earth can a doctor mutter and agree with such BS?
The whole Jeffrey Epstein episode has left no doubt that there is a system of compromise based on deviancy to control the rich and powerful and that British officials and reps are in the little black book of Epstein’s.
Politicians are generally scum, every time they say something it makes you think, how freaking dare they. When will they learn that they can’t just trash the lives of people, for most of us we are way past the era when we thought they know what they are doing.
Alas, recent events show that they can, and that there is nothing stopping them going much further than they currently have…
Most of the medical profession (and others) caved in to both Hitler and Stalin either out of well justified fear or in the hope of career enhancement.
It didn’t prevent Stalin from purging them though, even Hitler didn’t go that far.
I have written to my GP about whether he will be administering jabs to young people & especially young women. To date I’ve had no reply but I would recommend everyone write to your doctor enclosing the letter above & ask their opinion. You could remind them that while the vaccine manufacturers are immune from prosecution GPs are not.
good point about the prosecution. My Mp went AWOL at the start, not seen him since, no replies to emails
I think that is why my GP Surgery sent a round robin text saying they would not be vaxing under 50’s, worried about getting sued given the amount of information now available.
I’m getting calls/texts/letters from everywhere. I refuse to answer. I will not be added to a system. I’m well impressed with your GPs though. Common sense at last.
I assure you individual GP s are not signing any authorisation or prescriptions.In fact I have had nothing to do with any vaccination given nor have I been asked to sign any scripts.
Everyday I wake up afraid. I want to be able to choose whether to have a medical treatment and not feel coercion as I do over covid vaccination. There was never this kind of pressure to have the influenza vaccination. I don’t want to feel I will be excluded from society. These are dreadful times. Thank you Helen Westwood for taking this stand.
I agree with you. These are terrifying times. I thought by now that surely more people would have seen sense but if anything it seems worse.
The truth is there is something horribly wrong about this country.
Yes, and I think the so called ‘ Blitz Spirit, was a misnomer..
Yesterday I received the following text from my GP Surgery.
“Dear karenovirus.
This is to remind you of your appointment for (date/time) at (satellite surgery premises).”
Followed by the usual Covid Safety/Awareness guff but itdid not say who it was with or what it was for.
I am not aware of any such appointment being made but I do know that they use their satellite surgery premises for vaxing.
Vaxing by stealth ? Surely not.
Happily they included a telephone number inviting me to text CANCEL if appropriate so I did.
I’m well aware that I am under no obligation to explain my decision but, if I feel like it, I will forward a copy of Dr. Helen Westwood’s excellent letter (article above) as appropriate.
I have had the first AZ jab and although there was a lot that bothered me and it was not an easy decision for reasons I won’t bore you with here, several things struck me: 1. I wasn’t told the vaccine was still in Phase 3 trials (although obviously I am all too aware of that); 2. I was asked if I was on blood thinners (I am) but the “yes” box was not ticked on the paperwork I subsequently received a copy of. 3. I was expecting to give consent in some formal way as one does for surgery but just turning up seems to be all the consent required.
As a lockdown sceptic, though not an anti vaxxer (I even took part in vaccine trials in my youth when I briefly worked with Prof Sikora at the MRC) I was perfectly competent to do my own research and sift the propaganda pro and con. In truth I’m still not sure I made the right decision for the wrong reason or the wrong decision for the right reason but at least I felt I gave reasonably informed content. I very much doubt that is true of 99% of those who get the jab. I have a couple of health issues but if I was as well as I was 2 years ago and/or under 50 (I’m 56 I would not have had the bloody thing at all!)
I have no issue at all about people making a genuinely informed decision to have the vax. I have a very close friend in a similar position to yourself and I totally respect their (and your) right to make up their own mind about whether or not to have any form of medical treatment. The two things I’m strongly opposed to are a lack of proper information being provided – as you have clearly identified – and any form of coercion or pressure to take the medical treatment. That included any actual or inferred threat of discrimination if you decide not to have the treatment.
I couldn’t agree more and I will never support vaccine passports. I will not attend any venue or event or use any business that operates a vaccine apartheid system.
I expect it will become harder and harder to find places that don’t. And the more who take the vaccine, the harder it will be. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Write to your MP now. Let them know you will never vote Tory if they bring in any sort of digital ID. All you can do is threaten them with the only thing they care about – their power.
They all obey the WEF. Our votes are of minor, if any, importance to them. There is no way our elected representatives will abandon the Great Reset simply in fear people will cease voting for them.
Just bought tickets to see Van, at the Phiharmonic in Liverpool, no mention of any restrictions, I wonder if I will get my refund… expected!
I would also add that the ability to make a rational and informed choice is being clouded by the miasma of coercion, (false?) promises and emotional blackmail emanating from
the state apparatus.
How many are capitulating due to fear of being shut out of society and how many for genuine health concerns? The younger one is, the more it must be the former I’m afraid. However, I wonder how many breathing a sigh of relief that they are fully vaccinated and will be able to participate in society realise that this will be ongoing and that they will have to take whatever is offered to keep their passports ‘green’ however unwell they become.
Yes first there’s the “booster” in autumn, then the annual or probably twice yearly updates, then the flu vaccine, plus whatever else they decide
If this vaccine had been rolled out as intended for specific high risk groups with a signed consent as for surgery I think the result of vaccinating the high risk groups would have been the same as it is now. What happened was a trivialization of the vaccine and promoting it as an altruistic idea and/or travel vaccine for all. That was a public health disaster. It increased the risk that the negative side effects would immediately come into focus if it affected persons without risk ie people who should not have been vaccinated. This could have a negative effect that persons in high risk groups, where the risk balance weighted to the vaccine might be reluctant to opt for the vaccine. Also any serious problems of side effects in younger people not in need of the vaccine would immediately affect any trust in public health and dissuade people for other vaccines.
I positiviely avoid reading or listening to any politician, unless someone points out something sinister that a politician has said. That’s the only time they actually show a little of their true colours. The rest is lies and waffle. Look at what they do, and how they vote; and believe them when they threaten to ruin harmless people’s lives.
Of course, this is yet another government liar, known for continuously assuring people during interviews that there was no plans to introduce vaxports, while anyone with half a brain knew it was an absolute certainty.
Dr Helen Westwood wrote to her MP ….. She has received a reply … that is far from reassuring….
Join the club.
The government have just reversed their position on water meters, and have made them compulsory. I sent a letter to my MP with a carefully worded argument against this, and have just got the same treatment.
The reply, of course, does not come from the minister. It comes from a junior civil servant. And the technique that they use is to produce a boiler-plate letter explaining that they are applying their policy. That is all. Everybody who complains about a policy gets one of these. It does not matter what question was asked – the answer is the same: “This is the policy”.
I am wondering about pushing for this to be considered as maladministration? It is, after all, a complete refusal to respond to constituents’ questions…
Oxymoron of the day:
“months of rigorous clinical trials”
If, as I suspect, the puppet gov’t attempt mandatory vaccination this will simply CONFIRM the genocidal agenda.
Let us be under no illusions that massive depopulation is the central aim of the Reset.
For our own good, obviously.
Separated at birth:
Haha! Hilarious
Iraq was framed so not that funny
Agreed. Compare Fauci and Dr Mengele. There is a stronger resemblance.
One scary lesson I have learned the last year is no longer can you think “that will never happen”. I think that is part of the problem; too many people are not waking up to the possibility things have gone very wrong; it’s happening so quick. Reminds me of a survivor from a ship capsizing saying most people just sat there doing nothing, presumably not realising the danger they are in, never occurs to them a modern ship might suddenly sink with little warning.
Yes, we need the medical people, scientists etc to speak out most urgently. But I appreciate it is not easy at all! Everything is against you. I wish I knew what to suggest to help. At least there is quite a few, I wish there was some way they could all get together; safety in numbers.
Reading a couple of books about people’s personal experiences during the Holocaust, many of them still thought “that will never happen” even at the end. I learn’t much from them this last year.
There is the online Truth Over Fear summit starting April 30, 8am EST.
Zahawi didn’t even have the courtesy to address one of the issues raised. He may as well been copying it from a script. Pathetic.
Template letter, he wouldn’t have even read the original letter.
politicians do not write the letters they send , its done on their behalf by scriptwriting teams
They have to vaccinate everyone or their fraud will be exposed, when the unvaccinated are much healthier and living longer lives. They can’t have this. They have even started vaccinating the control group in trials on the excuse that it would be unfair to deny them treatment.
I’ve actually decided to say to people I’ve volunteered to be in the “control group” if people blatantly ask me if I’ve had the “vax.” Lets see how they respond…
Same here! Or we could say, when the rude, presumptuous, idiot busybodies ask: “I got the placebo.”
Fantastic letters from this GP! Thank you Dr Westwood we agree with every single thing you say. I’m feeling more and more scared as each day passes
“I can only assume he does not have answers to my questions”
It is entirely possible that he does have the answers to your questions but those answers are not ones he wants to have in the public domain.
I.e. they’re not the “right” answers
Sorry should have added on join the club too we are always writing to our MP!

On a lighter note.
I do hope that the ability of Track’n’Trace to actually track me is better than Local Live (mirror group news) who for some reason, and for many months, seem to think that I live in an obscure backstreet in Bognor Regis which is why they put up this handy local guide to my nearest vaccination centres.
Neither I or my phone have ever been to Bognor Regis which is about 160 miles away;
I post this as an example of how technology does not always get it right !
i am concerned about the use of Google in the sign in procedure , Google is a spyware and its not ok that they are harvesting data via the recaptcha , its unsafe for us
you should contact the administrators
personally i do not agree with this either although i agree with the letter as a whole , i can see no reason why old people should be used as guinea pigs either , fact is that lives cannot eb saved by any type of vaccine , only in some cases prolonged ( assuming they work) or shortened ( as seems to be happening ) now that the within 28 days parameter has been forgotten about , in my view NOBODY should be taking any vaccine especially one that is intended to cover the entire population with no long term guarantee of harmful side effects
I’ve just come across this interview with Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi :
https://odysee.com/@TLAVagabond:5/Dr-Sucharit-Bhakdi-Interview-COVID-Vaccine-Blood-Clot-Risk-Was-Known-Ignored-Buried:9
It is an informed wake-up call for those in love with the vaccine.
What I didn’t realize over the incidence of blood-clotting is that other common serious side-effects are consonant with blood-clotting that may not result in death.
Bhakdi is convinced of the vaccine causing deaths.
There is informed consent and there is consent informed by misinformation.
I’ve just focused on one detail in Zahari’s response as I scanned it again – the one about running the three experimental phases in parallel.
That is such garbage. The whole point of the notional phases is the sequential factor and the time dimension!
This is a perfect example of the sheer pap of nonsense that the public is being fed.
What an amazing person! Thank you for standing up for the rights of people. It’s a great shame that more people in your profession have not spoken out- indeed, we may not be in this tragic position if there were a little more altruism and a little less egotism in the medical profession.
Surely, not enabling fully informed consent and allowing mandatory/coercive experimental vaccinations would be a rejection of the Nuremberg Code; thus ignoring the extreme suffering, pain and trauma of those victims who suffered in the Second World War and the measures put in place to stop this from ever happening again.
There are hundreds of deaths and over half a million side effects here in the UK with the AZ vax alone – but the Govt hides the Vaccine Analysis Profile away – as it does the adverse event Yellow Card reporting system. Why? The fact that Boris Johnson and the bought media says its “safe” should have millions of alarm bells ringing! . Here’s the AZ profile so far – but how many reports are missing because the Yellow Card system is hidden away? “Informed Consent” should mean fully informed and no-one I have spoken to has been told of the potential dangers of these vaccines, either now or in the future. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/979487/COVID-19_AstraZeneca_vaccine_analysis_print.pdf
Go to UKColumn news for ongoing coverage of vax side effects. They are being censored (removed from YT etc).
Great letters. The one thing that they don’t seem to mention when discussing the Absolute Risk reduction is that of passive/active choice…say my chance of dying from covid is 0.0006% (I believe this is correct) and my chance of dying from a vaccine is 0.0005% – should I therefore conclude that any sensible person would have the jab?
No of course not! I accept my tiny chance of dying from covid in the same way that I do of dying of anything – car accidents, Ebola, tripping over, meningitis. Its the risk for living a free life and if it happens then it happens. The jab is something that I’d have to make a conscious choice to do. I’m going out of my way to take on this extra unknown risk.
Zahawi is flat lying. The vaccines are not authorized in any conventional way. They have temporary emergency licenses. As for the rest of his pap, Westwood takes him part correctly. The idea that watching ten thousand people for a month is the same as watching a thousand people for ten months is such a laughable concept in the pharmaceutical world that I can’t believe anyone in govt genuinely attempts this fraud. The media do, but we know they are not the smartest.
All this confirms is that the government is dishonest, believes we are powerless idiots, has a hidden agenda, and doesn’t care that we know it.
God bless Dr.Helen Westwood. She is 109% correct when she says the vaccine minister did not address even one of her concerns. I am 70, I have declined these experimental biologicals. When all the safety and efficacy data is complete in a few years, I will revisit my decision, not until then. The CDC’s
VAERS makes for an eye watering read, with adverse events continuing to rise.
The U.K. currently operates a system of brainwashing fearful citizens into lame compliance with a potentially dangerous “vaccine” rollout. Zahawi is not to be trusted…with anything.
How can he say they are safe when we do not have the long term safety data. What happens if long term they turn out to be bad news for the population? Will he he held accountable?

They can’t make you take the vaccine against international law.
No point in passports cant be enforced!
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe passed Resolution
number 2361 of 2021 on 27 January 2021, in which it was stated that:
6.1 Paragraph 7.3.1 – ensure that citizens are informed that the vaccination is NOT mandatory and that no one is politically, socially, or otherwise pressured to get themselves vaccinated if they do not wish to do so;
6.2 Paragraph 7.3.2 – ensure that no one is discriminated against for not having been vaccinated, due to possible health risks or not wanting to be vaccinated.
This study paper, originally written in Japanese and auto-translated into English. Labeled, “Pfizer confidential,” the study is known as a bio-distribution study that uses luciferase enzymes and radioisotope markers to accurately track the distribution of Pfizer’s mRNA LNPs across the body. What it found should result in the FDA immediately pulling all mRNA vaccines off the market.
I am not medically qualified to comment so just post it. Show to a doctor that is to decide if you want to take the vaccine.
If this is at all true I feel sorrow for those that have already taken it.
