When Daily Sceptic reader Ian Price experienced an alarming adverse reaction to his first AstraZeneca jab he decided that he did not want to risk a second dose. However, his GP had other ideas and told him he should have Pfizer for his second dose. Despite being presented with worrying safety data from Pfizer’s own trial results, the GP would not agree to an exemption. Ian writes:
I am pro-vaccine but anti-mandate. However, I have recently discovered via correspondence from my GP that the Department of Health is not ‘following the science’ in the guidance it gives to GPs on vaccine safety.
By way of background, I declined the second vaccine following an adverse reaction to the first AstraZeneca vaccine received in March 2021. I remain partially vaccinated which means that I fall into the category of citizens described by Sir Tony Blair as “idiots”. Resenting the increasing stigmatisation of the unvaccinated, I discovered via Google search that there was such a thing as a vaccine exemption. After all, even Blair acknowledges that it is possible to have a “health reason” for not being jabbed. So I called the NHS number and had a form posted to me. I filled it in and dropped it off at my GP’s surgery.
“I’m struggling a bit with the Covid exemption form,” wrote my GP to me in a text on December 1st. “I am not sure I am comfortable with precluding you from the option of a second injection.” He was about to go away but offered a phone consultation on his return. Puzzled by his framing of the issue as being about not limiting my options, I agreed to the follow-up call.
In our long discussion on December 29th, his advice remained that I should take the Pfizer vaccine. I explained that I felt my risk from Covid was negligible and I was not convinced that it was greater than the risk from a second vaccine. He remained reluctant to issue an exemption but agreed to look into it further and come back to me. His subsequent text message read as follows: “I have re-read the guidance extensively on issuing of vaccine exemptions and unfortunately it can only be issued if there is a medical contraindication to receiving an alternate vaccine.”
He was good enough to attach a link to the guidance document from the Department of Health and Social Care. I looked at this document and found a further link to the Green Book Chapter 14a. As outlined in my letter to him below, the paragraph on the safety of the Pfizer vaccine reads as if the scientific evidence is reassuring. The paragraph cites two published papers that describe safety studies of the Pfizer vaccine: Walsh et al, 2020 and Polack et al, 2020. Both studies demonstrated very limited evidence of systemic events – “generally mild and shortlived”. Reading this paragraph, as a layman, I would conclude that there is no cause for concern.
Dated December 21st 2021, the Green Book omits Pfizer’s own trial data from the six-month stage – published on November 4th 2021 – even though it refers to an article published in the same journal in May 2020 by the same authors. While Pfizer has come in for criticism for its trial methodologies, the safety issues at the six-month stage are clear: out of 21,926 subjects in the vaccinated group, 6,617 or 30.2% experienced an adverse event. This compares with 13.9% in the placebo group. Related adverse events which an investigator has assessed as related to the Pfizer injection stood at 23.9% of the vaccinated group against 6.0% of the placebo group. The results also show an increased risk of death with nine from cardiovascular events compared with five from the placebo group. The evidence of risk is plain to see.
But this published paper – with the same authors and in the same journal (the New England Journal of Medicine) as the one of May 2020 – is not referred to in the Green Book. Is this a sin of commission or omission? It’s hard to say. My letter to my GP, attached in full as an appendix below, lays out my reasons for not getting a second vaccination. My GP called me on the phone and explained he still felt unable to award an exemption. When pressed he told me that he could not refute any of the arguments I made in my letter to him.
I respect my GP who I feel is, like his colleagues, under political pressure to vaccinate as many people as possible. I believe in personal autonomy when it comes to decisions such as whether or not to take a vaccine and it appears to me that by omitting the latest published evidence from Pfizer in its guidance to GPs, the Government is not being honest about vaccine safety.
Dear Dr. XXXXX
Happy New Year.
Many thanks for your text message of December 30th 2021 and for forwarding me the link to the Department of Health and Social Care clinical guidance document. Now that I’ve had a chance to take a look at the document, I wanted to come back to you.
Firstly, while I am disappointed in your decision not to issue me a vaccine exemption, I do accept that it is consistent with the guidance you shared with me. It is, I agree, unambiguous in stating: “A caution to one vaccine or vaccine type where safe alternatives are available should not lead to exemption.” On this basis, you have recommended to me that I take a Pfizer vaccine following an adverse reaction in April to AstraZeneca.
My issue is with the question of safety with regard to the Pfizer vaccine, particularly when, as I explained on the phone last week, set against the possible risks I face from COVID-19.
Risks from Covid
To get an objective sense of my risk from COVID-19, I used the QCovid risk assessment tool. Led by the University of Oxford, the development of this tool involved the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England. Research published in the BMJ shows that the model performed well in predicting severe outcomes due to COVID-19 i.e., death and hospitalisation.
My absolute risk of catching and dying from COVID-19 – based on my age, BMI and all the other personal data entered – is 0.0018%.
Since the data used in the model is only as recent as June 2021, I assume that this risk is, if anything, now significantly lower since the milder Omicron variant is now prevalent. The risk figure does not, furthermore, account for the fact that I have had one vaccine.
Safety of Pfizer Vaccines as Presented in Department of Health & Social Care Guidance
- The Guidance document links to the Green Book Chapter 14a for more information on vaccines and their cautions.
- The Green Book has a paragraph citing two published papers that describe safety studies of the Pfizer vaccine: Walsh et al, 2020 and Polack et al, 2020. Both studies demonstrated very limited evidence of systemic events – “generally mild and shortlived”. Reading this paragraph, as a layman, I would conclude that there is no cause for concern.
- However, my understanding of the Walsh et al, 2020 paper is that it covered data concerning the first seven days after vaccination only. The Polack et al paper, which I now understand to be derived Pfizer’s own trial data, has two months’ worth of study and efficacy data. The same authors published a six-month study dated November 4th 2021. The Green Book is dated December 21st 2021 and yet makes no mention of the follow-up study.
- The Polack et al paper of 2021 reports adverse events among 30.2% of the vaccinated trial subjects as against 13.9% of the placebo group.
My evaluation of the risks confronting me
- As I mentioned when we spoke on the phone, having experienced an adverse reaction to the first vaccine – something that caused me and my wife considerable distress – I have to trade off the risk of taking another vaccine against the combined risk of a) catching COVID-19 in the first place and b) falling ill as a result.
- Pfizer’s own trial data published in the Pollack et al paper referenced in the Green Book shows an absolute risk reduction of 0.84% seven days after the second dose.
- So, were I to take the vaccine as advised, I would be reducing my risk of dying by 0.84% – from 0.0018% to 0.0015%.
- However, the risk of an adverse reaction to the vaccine at more than twice the rate experienced by the placebo group in Pfizer’s own trial strikes me as a considerably poorer option.
Summary
- I am educated to Masters level in social science and can read an academic journal article. Nevertheless, I acknowledge that I am not a clinician and may have misinterpreted something. If so, please tell me what is the statistical likelihood of my serious injury, illness or death from the Pfizer vaccine? Also, please tell me what is the statistical likelihood of my serious injury, illness or death from COVID-19 if I were to remain only partially vaccinated?
- On the principle of “first, do no harm” I urge you to reconsider your decision based on up-to-date clinical trial data that has not been included in Department of Health and Social Care Guidance.
Yours sincerely

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Sorry, but this doctor sounds like a negligent moron.
I think that is unfair.The problem is what has been done to the profession of being a doctor. I doubt he ever expected to have to make a call between his family’s well being and a patient’s. Frankly he shouldn’t have to. He will be convincing himself the vaccines are safe because to do otherwise makes him complicit in something heinous. Of course he should still be held to account, there is no choice. But it must be tough.
“doubt he ever expected to have to make a call between his family’s well being and a patient’s” ……
? What are you on about?
He has a duty to ‘first do no harm’, he should be educating himself regarding the vaccines by reading all sides, not parroting the government line, if he chooses to unquestioningly follow the government line he fully deserves to be held to account in the future.
What Think Harder is referring to (possibly) is that if the doctor execises a proper duty of care to his patient, he will be barred from practicing medicine by his governing body and thus unable to provide for his family. he could, of course, do a Sam White and take the GMC to court.
Indeed, “people might die, but I’ve got a mortgage and kids in private school” doesn’t really cut it.
“people might die…” They are indeed Dame Lynet…. and dramatically too… if this graph is accurate….
That 2nd shot of Pfizer sure is a doozy…. but who cares… if it only saves one life…. eh?
Postscript: When we lived in a moral, ethical world let’s quaintly call it life OLD NORMAL…data such as the above would have immediately triggered alarm bells and a halt to all “experimental” treatment continuation.
Now?
> he should still be held to account
who should do that?
And his practice is paid per jab it carries out.
And, if they’re like my sister-in-law’s practise, they are cancelling more than 50% of their normal clinics to accommodate the extra revenue generation
8 years of training and an overhang of $250,000 makes it tough to entertain a career change. Sunk costs and time.
Think harder.
NO, no,no, This Doctor does not have to make a choice between his family and his patients, he is making a choice to keep a well paid job, which is to look after the health of his patients, his family are not in physical danger. If he were to be sacked, he has a case to fight, he does not have to give injections to those that do not want it, he can fill out papers to give exemption, or he can just not take the 20 pounds to inject people. If the worst came to it he is a clever person he could find another job. So his choice is between high pay and comfort for which he has accepted that he will cause harm and even death to some of his patients.
These are the same people that through history have “just followed orders” and thus facilitated the greatest crimes against humanity. This Doctor does not merit the title he carries.
Like most doctors this doctor is killing people. That doctors are being pressured to kill is obviously no excuse. Doctors prefer to take the money rather than admit that they have effectively become serial killers, that make Harold Shipman seem just an amateur. The Covid vaccines, at very best offer only fleeting protection, while apparently increasing overall mortality, some deal that is. The longer term consequences are of course unknown, at least to us, though the prospects for the multiply jabbed look to be very bleak indeed.
Just following the Hippocrite Oath
Like a doctor you mean?
Just dodging responsibility by buck passing – as have so many over the last two years!
Don’t expect me to answer you , I’m only a “Doctor” obeying orders!
Mr Spike doesn’t like heart muscle or similar tissues.If you want real data then look at insurance companies. They are bound to revel the truth in order to stay alive. We are in the early stages of this. I think it’s important not become riled when you see people dying off, even if they are your friends or family. That was their path it doesn’t have to be yours.
Unfortunately you become involved in the path when it is your partner who becomes ill and your family and friends are all of the vaccination persuasion and don’t/can’t/won’t see any link between vaccinations and sudden illness. Sympathy and understanding for the ill person but person but not for the unvaccinated.
“I am pro-vaccine but anti-mandate.”
Your choice. Myself I believe there is a clear moral duty to be anti these so-called “vaccines” precisely because of the mandates and the dishonest basis on which they have been introduced and people coerced into taking them en masse.
That’s called “nuance”, can’t have that.
Not really. Labelling a gene modification injection a ‘vaccine’ does not make it safe.
Yes, including the suppression of early treatment.
Why are people so polite about supposed “public servants” who frankly treat us like shit?
The GP is vermin.
No other way to describe the stain on medicine that these health harming tickbox-driven overpaid sinecurists are!
There was a time when simply not wanting the jab was enough to be exempt.
Before we switched to totalitarian rule in March 2020 that is.
Unfortunately, they start to believe their own publicity; the pedestal the media put them on. But they are necessary (normally) and they are not all vermin. The system has caused a lot of the problems. The long march of the institutions has effected education badly.
Why not exempt yourself, like everyone else who is not taking a vaccine?
Everyone has the right to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
No further paperwork is required, and may be a false security anyway: it would not ‘exempt’ from a new ‘rule/law/requirement’.
Self exemption won’t help you get into France, if you wanted to. We are going to ride it out though because I think the world will come to it’s senses in the spring. I also expect Spain and Portugal to allow the unvaccinated to travel. Whether Ireland will grow up we will see. I will never set foot in Germany or Austria again.
Hope you’re right.
Is it better, do you think, to ‘play a Djokovic’ (i.e. not disclosing status) within the UK in order to avoid being sent home for 10 days due to being unvaxxed? Or is there a better strategy of avoiding workplace discrimination?
Keep your eyes open as you walk around. I now have two cards stating that I’ve had a booster, and one saying I’ve had a first jab. Even though for moral and ethical reasons I wouldn’t have one. Not even if threatened with jail.
Thanks for the advice: no approach is wrong in resistance, in my opinion, but I have decided to be frank and say I am unvaccinated if asked at work (see below for my comment to Moderate Radical’s post).
The route is to reward the countries that are not requiring jabs by visiting them.
On the subject of Germany and Germans, there is a sort of comfort in knowing that they’ve finally outed themselves and that they were only pretending all this time not to be Nazis.
And at Nuremburg in 1947, the prosecuting countries were only pretending to require that Nazi doctors be held to account whilst plotting to sneak some the worst of them off to continue their despicable work and live a life of luxury in the US.
I so hope you are correct. Whenever it ends I hope it the truth comes out or it wont be long before something similar is tried again.
I’ve read today that African Swine flu is an upcoming cause for concern in several countries, including Italy!
Africa must have seriously upset the WHO and co to have to endure this derision again.
It won’t come to its senses, but the Faucists are about to do a lot of backtracking and track covering. They won’t change their objectives, though they may pause and regroup, as after swine flu.
It’s been said before but there’s a paucity of enquiring minds in the current GP stock and far far too many shit brained morons.
Excellent article Ian, thank you.
“…
Yours sincerely
Ian Price“
Excellent letter.
My prediction for the response:
[crickets]
You’ve already destroyed your children. There isn’t really a point below that. You put your children in the line of fire in order to save your own ass. Once you do that all protection is withdrawn; for you as an individual and for your culture. It is already too late to avoid the horror to come.
If the GP was paid directly by local patients instead of centrally he’d realise his job is to keep them alive and healthy. When his client base become ill, relatives will kill him. Quite a check and balance. Just an idea.
It might be an idea to state that while respecting his decision you also expect him to be prepared to sign a liability notice, just in case of an adr to the second dose. You may find when he has ‘skin in the game’ he’s not so focussed on his silver shillings for administering the jab.
If nothing else it would shine a light for him on how much of a pharma stooge he is.
In fact, people should really. just start referring to their GPs as Pfizer sales reps.
“Hello, I’m calling to make an appointment with Pfizer sales rep Dr. XXX”
Trouble is won’t help other than to make the medic think. Currently if he died screaming as the vaccine entered and the autopsy (if allowed) showed spike protein in every cell they would still claim it was covid or something.
So according to you we just accept there’s absolutely nothing we can do that will make any difference so we don’t do anything? You might want to ask all those germans how how that worked out for them back in the day.
Good stuff as far as it goes, but why are you complying with this nonsense? To work? To enter certain venues? To go on holiday? I’m sorry, but by taking part in this absurd, totalitarian system, you’ve effectively signed up to the apartheid. Functionally speaking, by applying for an ‘exemption’ in order to participate with the ‘vaccinated’ in the things in which the rest of us cannot and will not participate, you’ve given the apartheid your blessing.
I mean you no ill will whatsoever, but there is no middle ground here. What will you tell your children in the fullness of time, when stories are told about this horrendous, barbaric period? That you complied (for whatever reason)? Or that you did not bow down to Caesar’s unlawful and ungodly decrees, and that you stood firm so that your children would not have to bow down?
This…..
I think your care homes graph needs to be a lot more up to date to make your point.
Agreed. I have decided to be open about being unvaxxed at work if asked about it. I loathe the double-mindedness of playing games with management. Why say ‘it’s private’ when that just means ‘unvaccinated but too chicken to say so’? I have made my choice and am not ashamed of it. I cannot control being discriminated against if that is what happens. I trust in the Lord and they can take it or leave it. Just as I can leave my job if mistreated. Hiding in corners won’t end this.
Whatever you do, don’t ‘leave’ your job, make the bastards sack you
Why not got down the ‘full disclosure’ route i.e. ask the GP to answer whatever questions you feel are appropriate about the Pfizer (and any other) vaccine e.g. You will continue to pursue a medical exemption until you can fully assess the risks associated with the proposed vaccine. Ask the GP how he can help you to become fully informed when:
1) The vaccines are still in phase 3 clinical trials and only have emergency use authorisation.
2) Pfizer achieved protection from publication of full data for 75 years – since reduced following legal action to 8 months.
3) Pfizer refuses to disclose the full details of the vaccine ingredients on the basis that 3 of them are ‘commercially sensitive’. You cannot possibly be fully informed if 3 of the vaccine ingredients are secret.
Perhaps you could argue that the GP should grant you a medical exemption on the basis of the above. Is there any legal basis for challenging a GP’s refusal to grant a medical exemption? Equivalent challenges against mandatory vaccination of children in the US have been successful.
Most doctors / GP are not scientists of medicine or data. They have become simply trained practioners, following protocols with little time or training for reflection or critical thought. They have been trained to do what they are told.
And if we were being less charitable, drug dealers.
Actually that is a good description of what our GP are.
Stop making excuses for them, most people on here aren’t trained scientists but we’ve educated ourselves and we’re not being paid a healthy salary to do so.
Two personal anecdotes for you, endorsing your comments.
In the mid 1990s I returned from a holiday in the US with a strange ailment which coincided with my white cell blood count being raised to a worryingly high level. My GP was flummoxed, was amazed that I was capable of coming to the surgery, and asked me if I had any idea what might be causing it. I showed her a leaflet which we had been given in the US (don’t really know why I had kept it at the time) warning about Lyme Disease (then relatively unheard of in the UK). GP to me: “Any idea what the treatment is?” Me: “Leaflet says tratracycline antibiotics”. GP: “Might as well try that”. We did, and it worked. Who needs GPs?!
Second anecdote. My mother had a lifetime of osteoarthritis. She read in a newspaper health column of a newly identified wonder medication for arthritis which reduced the risk of gastric problems caused by regular anti-inflammatories. She asked her GP if he thought it worth trying. GP had never heard of it so my mother showed him the article. He agreed to put her on the medication. As I say, who needs GPs?
If you lived in Thailand and hadthat information you would just go to the pharmacy and buy them
There is something tragically sad about a person having to beg his GP to give him a note so he can reclaim some privileges that have been taken away.
I wonder how many GPs are getting a power rush from this sort of thing.
“I wonder how many GPs are getting a power rush from this sort of thing.”
Quite a few I bet.
They are certainly getting a cash rush at £30 per jab plus their standards wage!
Your doctor is complicit in many crimes.
Firstly, the law on informed consent was defined in the landmark case of Montgomery vs Lanarkshire Health Board [2015] where the Supreme Court held that patients have the right to exercise autonomy over their own bodies and over the treatment they undergo. In essence: 1. Those offered medical procedures must be given sufficient information to allow them to make informed choices and 2. Those offered medical procedures are actively informed of the material risks of declining the procedure and ALL the material risks of having the procedure – including any risk of serious harm, however unlikely it is to occur. Your doctor is clearly in breach of this domestic law.
Your doctor is also in clear breach of internaltional law, for example, the Nuremberg Code whose guiding principles serve as a landmark document on the medical ethics of experimental medical treatments. Note: the experimental nature of these injections cannot be disputed. For example, the simple fact that he is telling you to take two different experimental injections, each with different technologies, for which no trials in respect of compatibility have been conducted, is itself an experiment.
Article 1 of the Code states:
“The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.”
Article 5 states:
No experiment should be conducted in which there is a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will result; except, perhaps, in those experiments in which the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
The dangerous nature of these injections cannot be disputed.
Your doctor is also acting in breach of the General Medical Council guidelines on informed consent state:
Section 21. You must give patients clear, accurate and up-to-date information, based on the best available evidence, about the potential benefits and risks of harm of each option, including the option to take no action.
At Section 230d the GMC guidance instructs medical practitioners to explain “Any risk of serious harm, however unlikely it is to occur”.
At Section 73 the CMC guidance states:
“You should do your best to make sure patients reach their own decision, having considered relevant information (see paragraph 10) about the available options, including the option to take no action.”
At Section 74 the GMC guidance states:
“You must make sure your patient is aware that they have the right to choose whether or not to have treatment.”
At Section 75 the GMC guidance states:
“If, after following the guidance in paragraphs 72–74, you still believe a patient is under such extreme pressure to agree to or refuse a particular intervention that they can’t exercise free will, you should seek advice through local procedures, consult your medical defence body or professional association or seek independent legal advice.”
Excellent .
Anyone who has gone along with this deserves what they get, moaning about Downing Street parties, mask wearing, distancing, even heard about people cancelling christmas because they had been in contact with someone who tested positive. Surely they couldnt for one minute think that millions has only survived because they had sat down in a cafe before removing their mask

Almost looks like a conspiracy, huh.
Very good.
I looked at the “Green Book” in case I could seek exemption and cocluded that I could not.
My reading of it was that it is couched in such a manner that only those persons who will (embarassingly) pass out in front of the vaccinator will maybe be exempt eg anaphylactic reaction.
They have no wish to have a corpse to dispose of on their premises?
It won’t just be your local GP or health authority that will be brought down by all of this it will be the scientific method itself. The public backlash that is coming will be like nothing we have seen before. The consequences will be disastrous on many levels. We need to think about damage limitation. You lose all vanity when you just attend to the wounds of others and you don’t ask why. This will be our place we will see who is kosher.
Yep. I am getting first hand accounts of Pfizer damage now. Very shocked recipients.
Should you want to argue with your GP, or most medics for that matter –
Spend a couple of days educating yourselves further.

Very useful antidote to Witty et al and BBC misinformation.
A useful start if one wants to become a knowledgeable antivaxxer.

Following on from my post to you of a few minutes ago, here’s another link, which provides a great deal of information that can be used as an antidote to the ‘mainstream’ propaganda.
(I’m 63, and have been a very proud anti-vaxxer for 35+ years. Way back then, I carried out a great deal of scholarly research into those things called ‘vaccines’ [using the things called books…], and discovered that they are indeed extremely dangerous, and a medical scam)

This is a presentation prepared by the Canadian Covid Care Alliance and is a great summary. One to send to your GP Ian.
Thank you so much for this. It’s brilliant.
The moment you realise that when it comes to science, many doctors are laymen.
The vaccine exemption pretty much doesn’t exist.
My friend has one. She is covid-recovered and has an autoimmune condition, and she cited the very bad reactions to the injection by others in the support group for this particular disease. Also some other things I cannot put in this post.
There is no happy resolution to this situation. There is only one true resolution which is that the true horror of this injection campaign becomes more and more apparent. We are indeed surrounded by weak people who behave as drones whenever they are called to do so. It is up to us to decide how we deal with this predicament. In a years time our preoccupations will be very different. Just keep the vision alive it isn’t an illusion.
Italian media are horrified by the sudden death of their top Euro-Institution figure. The respected ex-RAI journo turned politico then recently elevated to President of the European Parliament, one of the top 3 EU posts.
Aged 65, originally from Florence, David Sassoli sadly died yesterday from “something, mumble, something, immune-system, compromised”
there is absolutely zero valid info as to if/when he was “fully” or “up-to-dated”, as is right. Like “Novak” tennis-players, why should we know their private details?
the media here, typically such as https://www.ilriformista.it/david-sassoli-ucciso-dal-vaccino-avra-esagerato-con-il-booster-lo-sciacallaggio-dei-no-vax-di-tutta-europa-272256/
almost universally reads like the same briefing note, across all Italian media, criticising pseudonymous “no-vax” for asking “was he murdered by a booster?”. He’d recovered from legionella/pneumonia caught in Strasbourg in autumn, and had bone-marrow transplants in recent years.
it seems like a poor show for the EU Institutions to lose such an important staff member whilst in active service, did he not receive the best advice, the best health care? Have they had a surprising lots of deaths-in-service in 2021 or is that an institutional secret, as many other things apparently are?
Almost every day now there is another story in MSM of someone “unexpectedly” dying – actors, musicians, politicians of all ages. Always it was “after a short illness” or “sudden”. A bit like my friend’s dad last month. But of course none of these deaths are vaccine related.
I am another one who can’t understand why the writer feels the need to have permission not to have the jab. Just don’t have it! Stop pandering to government dictats. I had the first two jabs unfortunately, but I’m not having any more. When I was phoned to go for my booster I told them not to phone me again, ever. End of story. As time goes on, more and more people will not be vaccinated sufficiently to satisfy any government decree, what will happen then? If you start excluding large amounts of people from normal life, society will break down. I don’t care if I can’t go on holiday abroad or go to certain events if my (and others) refusal to be vaccinated eventually brings the whole pile of steaming ordure hard down on the head of the government, in fact I look forward to the day when it all goes tits up, it will have been worth not complying and standing firm (although belatedly for me. Wish I’d never had the first 2 shots, but there you are).
You’re so stupid you’ve had two jabs but look down on people who’ve had three?
Well I don’t think I am a stupid person generally, but I feel stupid for having fallen for the lies about the jabs when they first came out. Like many people, my change of views on everything covid came later on in the day. I don’t see where it’s apparent I look down on people who’ve had three jabs? Who knows, perhaps these people will, too, see the light in due course. I thought we were all on the same side here, more or less, so I don’t know why you feel,the need to be insulting.
My partner I have always regarded as being smart, intelligent, etc. yet, despite me telling her last January that ‘vaccines’ were going to be quickly ‘invented’ and dished out and NOT to take them, got frightened by what the telly-vision told her and went and had two shots of Pfizer. She then went and got her yearly ‘flu jab.
The governments of the world have fooled people in a deliberate, calculated way, with their advertising campaigns and use of psychological terror.
My partner is now not very happy with the prospect of the 3rd ‘booster’ and is waiting to see what happens to others first, rather than rushing to get it. It is, indeed, available now.
We already know of many people who have had the 3rd shot and are still alive (we don’t know of anyone who has had it and snuffed it). I expect she will go and get it before her Vaxx Pass runs out in May.
You see, a real ‘vaccine’ for your health is one thing, but when your ‘freedom’ is offered as a ‘sweetie’ if only you get the jab, that does tend to sound the alarm bell.
Have you looked up the Zelenko protocols for people who have had the jabs?
No. (Goes off to look).
That’s harsh! She has seen the light and wont be having the boosters and as far as I can tell its the boosters that do the real damage.
Had interesting conversation with a mother at Formby Stand in the park last weekend. She had been refused exemption for her autistic daughter. The doctor said the her hands were tired. She could not give out any exemptions.
Consider the time when the normies get it which isn’t that far away. We believe in western civilisation and we are like man in a dry season waiting for rain. I hope that we can come up with something internationally that can maintain a sustained fight against the network of corporate control. This network is not an abstraction researchers at a a Swiss university identified this operation. There is no point opposing this agenda if you don’t have jack shit to offer on the other side.
Anyone asking their GP’s permission not to take the jab should request an orchidectomy at the same time, as they clearly have no use for their bollocks and don’t deserve them.
It’s a bit like asking: ‘Can I cut your income by £20?”
I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better not take the vax, yeah…

The idea that heart tissue is beyond repair is very suspect, I speak as someone who has addressed these issues. You hear similar terminal prognostications about the brain.You don’t have to be particularly perspicacious to see that the truths that we have been told over the last hundred years in regard to our health and how we should live just happen to be the truths most amenable to a pharmaceutical approach.
Tell us more – I’ve just been skimming the surface of modes of addressing athlete’s heart caused by hypertension and the first port of call was Cummins/Gerber: “Eat Rich Live Long” (2018) which opened up a line of earlier research on causes of cardiac disease but without a clear program of rectifying it beyond mainly nutritional and supplements-based generalities. Then I came across but have not yet had time to digest “The Great Tao” (1985) by Dr Stephen T. Chang which has a section on the heart and certain herbs plus internal exercises. Any thoughts? Chang’s book certainly has some pretty far-out content, though perhaps not excelling his “Complete System of Self-Healing” (1986) wherein: “If the heart really stops, use the fingers to pinch a point above the middle of the upper lip. … very hard. Doing so has revived even those who have died from heart attacks. …”
Trusting Government, big pharma, or even your Doctor, is a choice.
How do you get an MS in anything without understanding “Nullius in verba”?
What is the benefit of being ‘exempt’ rather simply unjabbed by choice?
Exemption is compliance, refusal is defiance.
Keeping a job in care or health – visiting elderly/sick relatives abroad. These are not small issues. Being pureblood is easier for some of us.
The media will just casually switch to an anti-narrative overnight. My biggest feeling throughout all of this is why isn’t there more anger? There will be and yet very few will even examine the media. The pint is that it isn’t just about the Covid narrative the whole of our situation is FUBAR. We need to take it by the balls and make it better.
Stigmatisation? Pathetic. Really. Why should the prejudice or morons unbalance you?
These are the people who piss away the short hours of their lives so they can compete for status with meaningless material wealth, compete against people they don’t like, and certainly don’t respect. And all the while saddling themselves with ever more debt ensuring their continued slavery. For baubles! To impress idiots!
The others, who unthinkingly swallow lie after lie from institutions, ‘leaders’, never once questioning, trusting as farm animals off to the slaughterhouse.
Those others, who have access to the greatest collection of knowledge our species has ever seen, all from a tiny device in their pockets, yet instead they use it to keep up with vacuous celebrities, and even more vacuous trends in mass produced shit that creates even more debt slavery?!
Those are the people from whom you fear shame, and ridicule? You should be laughing your head off at their miserable predicament, not joining them in their misery!
I stand in total opposition to the insanity of the masses, the cupidity of politicians, and the criminality of the pharmaceutical industry. Come what may. Now is not the time to be wishy-washy and queasy-spirited.
“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” – Marcus Aurelius
Destroy your smartphone. I read a study where American children were asked which invention they hated the most and they said smartphones because it meant their parents paid less attention to them. Just throw it in the fucking bin.
This is the advice I received from the NHS. Since I’m not in the “should” group, I’ve not had a problem with it. YMMV.
Should meaning…?
Then it says ‘offering…’? I must take the jab yet I have a choice?
Extract from page 40 of last week’s HSA vaccine surveillance report. The vaccinated are, overall, 89% more likely to test positive.
6 of the world’s most vaxxed countries. Gibraltar, Iceland & Ireland are at 100% or close to, vaxxed.
There will be problems there for a long time, then.
And no end to the jabbology.
Now I know i’m revealing my anti-post-modernism, but…
Shouldn’t a vaccine STOP you getting the disease rather than encourage you catch it?
It’s like the jab doesn’t do what it says it does.
NickR , how do you get to the FT analysis charts and graphs, please? Ive looked Ft.com without success
Hi there, Lord R here.
I thought about doing the same as you due to a blood condition I have (Factor 5 Leidens)
I even applied for the exemption form. Then I thought ‘No!’ I’m just playing their game. Plus I felt I’d be letting others around me who have lost so much freedom through not having the jab down.
Therefore I’ll continue to not be jabbed. And not with their criminal ‘exemption’.
Just today my partner was told by our GP that her exemption application failed. As someone who does not work on front line NHS, will never interact with patients and has been forced to work from home without problem for the last two years, demanding she gets jabbed to keep her job is inexplicable and obscene.
Furthermore, she has extremely good medical reason to not want the damned thing, but the doctor has disregarded the dangers this fake vaccine will cause her. Unlike most cases for exemption, it is absolute certain the jab would cause her massive, potentially irreparable harm – the doctor KNOWS THIS.
She absolutely loves her job, the enthusiasm she has and the energy she puts into the job would be very difficult to replace. Not a single day off sick either.
She will now be sacked off the c*nts in Westminster, no thanks to our paid-per-jab GP who has done nothing but look out for herself.
Retribution is due. Communism must not prevail in the UK.
If forced jabs happen and your partner is harmed…
make sure the GP gets inoculated against further medical malpractice.
0.0063%, checking my “danger quotient”. More chance of falling down the stairs, I’d reckon. Why would I have a jab known to cause issues at a higher rate, especially when they’ve no research on how it would interact with my medication (confirmed by the NHS).
I have looked into this for myself and have concluded that the current “guidance” issued to GPs is malfeasance, as the GPs must, legally put their patients health and best interests first.
The government has no right to intervene in the doctor patient relationship. The doctor should ignore this guidance.
I have heard that doctors exemptions are scrutinised and the GPs are afraid of getting into trouble if they do not adhere to these “guidelines” My consultant certainly was afraid, and I understood that he had been asked many times by other patients and yet was too intimidated to give exemptions out.
There is another kind of exemption letter –
https://www.promic.info/exemption-forms
You may be able to find a doctor who will fill in the Health professional declared form.
Extract from my letter discussing this with a GP who is resisting these mandates
I am wondering whether I should apply for the covid medical exemption, even though legally it should be unnecessary to do this, as a simple refusal of consent should be an adequate reason for a medical exemption.
Do you see people to assess them for this? Are you able to write an exemption?
I have read the Pfizer risk management plan, if you read page 95 onwards it is clear this drug cannot be legally mandated, essential studies have not been performed on its safety prior to use.
This includes essential safety studies on people with auto immune disorders and inflammatory conditions, which I believe cover my medical condition.
https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/rmp-summary/comirnaty-epar-risk-management-plan_en.pdf
I believe the only way our government can use this drug is to force the public to take the risk of an experimental biologic on themselves. This is how they hope to avoid liability for the expected adverse effects……..
……I have asked my specialist for an exemption and he was clearly frightened to get involved and would not support me.
The system for applying for exemptions is clearly also illegal as the decision cannot be appealed if there has been a mistake, and the applicant is in the dark as to the basis on which the assessment is decided (this is effectively going before a secret tribunal)
None of this can be legal.
As I only get one go at the exemption I want to make sure I do the best I can. Initially I was reluctant to involve myself in such an improper and illegal process, but I am not sure how far this authoritarianism will go before it is stopped, and I have a good reason not to take the risk of this so called “vaccine.”
At present only NHS GP’s can do the exemptions for the ‘covid passes’ since only they have access to the NHS Summary Care Record to which this data is uploaded.
However, very few GP’s are either willing to do the exemptions and only an extremely limited number of ‘exemptions’ qualify under the current government and NHS guidance.
Thus, nearly all people able to work (unless they have experienced anaphylaxis) would be denied an exemption. I have even heard cases of people being denied an exemption when they do have one of the few listed conditions.
The rules are currently no-one can appeal their GP’s decision.
Clearly, the real issue is that the NHS and Doctors are following guidance and ignoring long established law. Law trumps guidance. Always. This is something I am hoping to work with my solicitor on.
GP’s are paid for every Covid jab they give.
They are not paid for anyone who refuses it.
Hence the barrage of phone calls and texts persuading people to have them.
Many GP’s put business before health.
Never give a surgery your mobile number.

Examples for potential exemption from vaccination and testing could include individuals:
• Receiving end of life care where vaccination is not in the individual’s interests.
• With learning disabilities or autistic individuals, or with a combination of impairments which result in the same distress, who find vaccination and testing distressing because of their condition and cannot be achieved through reasonable adjustments such as provision of an accessible environment.
• Those with medical contraindications to the vaccines such as:
• severe allergy to all Covid-19 vaccines or their constituents (e.g. PEG).
• those who have had adverse reactions to the first dose (e.g. myocarditis)
Consideration should be given to the special warnings and precautions for use found in section 4.4 of the Summary of Product Characteristics for each product,
only where an appropriate vaccine cannot be found or sourced for vaccination should an exemption be considered.
A caution to one vaccine or vaccine type where safe alternatives are available should not lead to exemption.
Further information on vaccines and their cautions can be found in the COVID 19: The Green Book, Chapter 14a
Anticoagulation and clotting disorders would only be viewed as need for exemption in exceptional circumstances.
If science can’t be questioned it’s not science anymore. It’s propaganda. They want to rip on people for taking Ivermectin. I researched and saw the evidence on the internet. Research papers are on the internet for those who wants to see. Top respected world doctors are being under defamation by MSM and vaccine manufacturers. I won’t back down recommeding IVM.

found this..Cureus | Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Post COVID-19 Vaccination – First Reported Case
note in the case presentation “”The patient was seen in the primary health care center and was given paracetamol and did not notice any improvement.””.. wtf.. paracetamol ..my guess, they were fobbing her off with pandemic anxiety, or, it’s all in your head..
a big argument broke out in the comments, worth a read..
it’s heartbreaking how people are facing this sort of nightmare, and worse ! especially when most have had the jab. not through fear of covid.. but fear of losing their job, not being able to visit family, not being able to go on holiday, not being allowed to go out to eat, dance, laugh, live, love.. there are so many people suffering and dying from these vaccines..it may seem like a drop in the ocean compared to how many have had it.. but like they say.. there is no long term safety data on any of these vaccines….
From personal experience and assuming the GP had the decency to read the letter from Ian Price I can safely make the following conclusions of the GP’s current situation:
1. Oh shit, I’ve fucked up here, Big Time.
2. How do I get out of this mess?
3. How much will this cost me?
4. Nobody told me these “safe and effective” ‘vaccines’ were so dangerous.
5.It’s not my fault gov.
6. Can I have my pension now?
This absolutely confirms the laziness and cowardliness of many GP’s. A new ‘vaccine’ appears on the market from nowhere and the vast majority cannot be bothered to do any research and those that have researched refuse to challenge.
What a disreputable industry GP’s have become.
‘First do no harm,’ – to me and my wallet.
Some social events restarting, one of which is a book club I was in before all this started.
We’re down to 4 attending, from a previous 6-8 average.
In the pub tonight, inevitably the others started discussing Djokovic, which led to their own jab experiences.
One described having hers outside the surgery; (she has some sort of condition requiring regular blood tests and is used to being stabbed) this one was done by the GP and she said it bloody HURT! She realised she had blood running down her arm, and the doc said: oops – you’re a bleeder! Stuck a plaster on and that was it.
She had no qualms or curiosity about what happened – just that it hurt. I mentioned aspiration, and how it sounded as though GP had hit a blood vessel; she looked blankly at me (they all did). I asked if she got a metallic taste after it: apparently not.
In the current hostile environment for the un-jabbed I didn’t want to prolong the discussion so changed the subject. Maybe I’m a coward: I’ve had a taste of someone’s disgust with me and can’t face it too often – I’ll save it for when it matters.
I think my GP will be my absolute last resort if ever I am I’ll. What a useless eejit.
Good work by Mr Price. Bad from Government but no surprise there but the GP comes out the worse. I wonder why he can’t issue exemptions in the way that some GPS dispense prescriptions for antibiotics? Is there a penalty for GPS who award exemptions?
Looks a wise decision on his part, but why is he granting someone else the right to decide? Can he not declare exemption on his own, in line with the Human Rights Act 1998? In particular, he appears to be reasonably competent to make a choice – better than many who just believe in the propaganda etc.

How can you respect a man whose primary role is to look after your health and do no harm, who because of cowardice and job protection is willing to knowingly cause harm to Men, women and children, when if he had any integrity at all he would have given you the exemption you require, this is the very least he could do to protect his patients.
Such people as GP’s who are made aware of these risks are collaborators in putting their own jobs over the lives of the very people they are meant to protect.
Unless and until all media, politicians and commentators stop asserting they are fully vaccinated as a badge of their validity and their right to comment we never emerge from this dystopia.
Pfizer specifically excluded previously infected in their original safety data and the adverse reactions on USA VAERS data are now very concerning. The doctor decision however was correct in his instruction by the directions that have been given .
I have marked sympathy with this author but it should not be an aim to “get around “ being vaccinated but stop vaccination being regarded as a badge of safety and virtue.
I despair when I listen to the voices of colleagues who I have respected for many years advocating masks,lockdowns and the blaming of the unvaccinated for transmitting SARS-CoV-2 to those are triple vaccinated.
Yes colleagues this is an indication of vaccination failure.
as Robert Malone said.
It is first time in history that the In effectiveness of a medicine is being blamed on those who haven’t taken it.
Putting the specifics to one side, I am amazed at how is he able to get such personal attention from his Doctor. Mine are still hiding away and one is lucky to speak to reception, let alone see a Doctor. Personal texts from the Doctor, mind-blowing!
Our trust in our gp’s has hit an all time low. They obviously are powerless in this sick institution known as the NHS. It must be very frustrating for a highly educated person, trained as a doctor, to be unable to do what they think is best for their patient.
They should be speaking out, risking their jobs.
GPs stopped being independent many moons ago. They only prescribe what their local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) tells them they can and this can often be going against NICE guidance. Generally the decision is solely on cost grounds which is wonderfully hypocritical. The ‘Directors’ of a CCG are all on six figure salaries, paid for by taxpayers, and they believe they have the right to restrict taxpayers’ medication. WTF
I enjoy winding up my GP by asking him if this was what he anticipated as a career when he spent 7 years slogging away at medical school!!
I think your assessment of the Pfizer paper is a bit misleading.
Your ratio of adverse events seems to come from table S3 in the supplementary material. This is for the period from Dose 1 to 1 Month after Dose 2 – not the full six months.
As I read the paper this table includes reactogenic events i.e. thing like feeling tired the day after the vaccination. There were more severe events in the vaccinated group than the placebo (262 to 150) but less life threatening events (21 to 26) and less deaths (3 to 5).
Table S4 deals with deaths over the full six months. There were 15 in the vaccinated group and 14 in the placebo group. I can’t see were you got 9 to 5 cardiovascular events. I included cardiac arrest, cardiac failure congestive, cardio respiratory arrest, hypertensive heart disease and myocardial infarction with a ratio of 7 to 4. In either case these numbers are too small to be statistically significant. (It is interesting to note that there were two cases of myocardial infarction in the placebo and none in the vaccinated group.)
I think that’s been said before on the sceptical side – that it’s statistically insignificant in this trial. He would do better to look at the many analyses of VAERS cardio events.
I think that’s been said before on the sceptical side – that it’s statistically insignificant in this trial.
Sorry about that – I didn’t read all comments.
He would do better to look at the many analyses of VAERS cardio events.
Of course that opens up the dispute about the validity of using self-reported data. If RCTs don’t reveal any statistically significant problem then that supports the argument that the VAERS data is heavily biased.
I have an exemption, but it is ONLY valid domestically ie: England, so ZERO freedom to travel to many places where vaccination is legally mandatory or de facto mandatory.
You should not respect your GP. His version of medicine is bullying and coercive. He’s abandoned basic principles of medical ethics – free, informed consent, and patient dignity and autonomy.
He doesn’t care about your health, or your dignity, or your right to choose. Why would you respect this state enforcer?
