Last week, Pascal Soriot, the French-born Australian and Chief Executive Officer of the British-Swiss pharmaceutical company, AstraZeneca plc., whose vaccine for COVID-19 has produced reports of 875,000 adverse drug reactions in the U.K. public, including 1,334 deaths, was knighted “for services to U.K. sciences and leadership in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic”.
Other British nationals made knights or dames for their part in the U.K. vaccination programme include Sir Andrew Pollard, Director of the Oxford Vaccine Group that in April 2020 entered into a partnership with AstraZeneca to develop its viral-vector vaccine; Dame Sarah Gilbert, the Oxford Project Leader; Sir Adrian Hill, Sir Peter Horby and Sir Martin Landray, who were also responsible for conducting the development and trials of the Oxford vaccine; and Sir Aziz Sheikh, who was responsible for demonstrating the effectiveness of both the Oxford/AstraZeneca and BioNTech/Pfizer injections.
In addition to those directly involved in the AstraZeneca vaccine, other senior figures in the U.K. vaccination programme rewarded with knighthoods include Sir Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Office of England; Sir Jonathan Van-Tam, Deputy CMO; Sir Gregor Smith, CMO of Scotland; Sir Frank Atherton, CMO of Wales; and Sir Patrick Vallance, Chief Government Scientific Adviser. These were all senior members of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), and therefore arguably responsible for the tens of thousands of deaths caused by removing medical diagnosis, care and treatment for 68.8 million Britons under two years of lockdown, which has contributed to excess deaths in the U.K. not attributed to COVID-19 far above average in 2022. They also personally authorised the injection of the unlicensed, experimental and dangerous vaccines into the British public — another, but still unacknowledged, contributing factor.
Senior female figures in the U.K. vaccination programme to receive damehoods include Dame Emily Lawson, Chief Commercial Officer at NHS England who oversaw their injection of the AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna vaccines into millions of Britons; Dame Jenny Harries, the Chief Executive Officer of the sinisterly-named U.K. Health Security Agency, the merger of Public Health England, NHS Track and Trace and the Joint Biosecurity Centre, responsible for policing and enforcing censorship and restrictions in the UK Biosecurity State; and, finally, Dame June Raine, Chief Executive Officer of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), who on December 30th 2020 granted temporary authorisation to the AstraZeneca/Oxford viral vector vaccine for COVID-19, even though the clinical trials are not due to be completed until February 2023.
By March 2021, less than three months since it began to be injected into a terrorised public not only in the U.K. but across Europe and the world, the incidents of blood clots with low blood platelets and deaths following injection with the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine were so numerous that its use was suspended or banned in Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, the Congo, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and Thailand. In the U.K., however, it continued to be injected into people whose informed consent about the risks, dangers and consequences of doing so had been censored by the Government, media and National Health Service.
Three months before it was authorised, in September 2020, the Oxford trials for the AstraZeneca vaccine was paused after a U.K. participant suffered spinal cord inflammation; yet it took a month to send the vaccine trial safety data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In November 2020, it was revealed that AstraZeneca’s claim that its vaccine has an efficacy of 90% was based on a trial only administered to individuals up to 55 years of age, a demographic with a far lower chance of developing the symptoms of COVID-19. In April 2021, the Lancet, one of the oldest medical journals in the world, estimated that, although the AstraZeneca vaccine has a relative risk reduction of 67%, the absolute risk reduction is only 1.9%. neither of which come near the claims of 90% efficacy made by AstraZeneca or the NHS medical professionals administering it to the British public. The following month, May 2021, Transparency International Global Health accused AstraZeneca of a lack of transparency over its vaccine trials, secret contracts with governments, and conducting “science by press release”.
Far from resulting from the pressures of producing a vaccine in record time, these questions over the probity of AstraZeneca were consistent with the company’s record of malpractice and bribery. In 2010, AstraZeneca paid $520 million in fines to settle charges by the U.S. Federal Government for illegally marketing the anti-psychotic drug Seroquel to children and elderly patients for uses not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In 2013 it was revealed that pharmaceutical companies were paying U.K. doctors £40 million every year to promote their drugs, with the U.K. office of AstraZeneca paying £671,400 in fees to 903 doctors plus £30,200 for their travel and hotel bills. In 2016, AstraZeneca agreed to pay $5.5 million to settle charges of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by bribing doctors in China and Russia in order to boost sales of their pharmaceutical products. And in April 2018, it was revealed that AstraZeneca had paid €17.9 million in secret payments to ‘independent’ healthcare professionals to endorse their products, including the use of vaccines. There is nothing to indicate this systemic bribery has stopped. Indeed, since 2000, AstraZeneca has paid $1.381 billion in fines: $594 million for healthcare-related offences; $556.2 million in government-related offences under the False Claims Act; $198 million for safety-related offences; $21 million under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and $5.52 million for ‘kickbacks and bribery’.
By mid 2021, however, when the peoples of the world had begun to wake up to the dangers of injecting its product into their bodies, AstraZeneca had reaped the profits from its secret contracts with the governments of those people, having agreed deals to sell 100 million doses of its vaccine to the U.K., 400 million doses to Europe, 700 million doses to the U.S. and the GAVI Vaccine Alliance, and 1 billion doses to India. As a result of these contracts, AstraZeneca’s net profit in the second quarter of 2020 rose to £581.18 million, compared to just £99.94 million in the same quarter the previous year. But the game of cash for lives was up. In November 2021, AstraZeneca, which sold £1.64 billion of its vaccine in the first nine months of 2021, announced it was reneging on its promise to sell at cost “for the duration of the pandemic”, which it now declared was in the “endemic phase”. A year later, AstraZeneca dropped its submission for approval for its vaccine by U.S. regulators.
In the U.K., however, the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine were so numerous that even the DHSC, SAGE, the MHRA and the NHS couldn’t completely deny them, and only 59,700 doses have been administered as part of the U.K. vaccination programme’s third and ‘booster’ campaigns. But the injuries and deaths following injection continued to rise. According to the ‘Yellow Card’ reports of adverse drug reactions and deaths sent to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, between July 28th 2021 and November 23rd 2022, the 259,700 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine injection into the U.K. public caused an additional 54,000 adverse drug reactions and 270 deaths.
And yet, with the exception of a handful of the 81 deaths from thrombo-embolic events (blood clotting), the MHRA responsible for authorising the use and guaranteeing the safety of the experimental biotechnology injected into the U.K. public as COVID-19 vaccines continues to insist that all these injuries and deaths are ‘natural’, ‘coincidental’ and ‘expected’. What the Regulatory Agency doesn’t explain is how, if there is no causal connection to the injections, there is such a huge disparity in the proportion of injuries and deaths to doses between the different brands of vaccines, which after 169 million doses injected we would expect to even out. Based on the reports received by the MHRA, the AstraZeneca injection has a far higher number of ADRs per report (3.54) than Pfizer’s (2.88). The chances of having at least one ADR per dose also varying hugely, with those injected with the AstraZeneca vaccine having a 0.5% chance of an ADR per dose, compared with 0.2% from Pfizer’s vaccine and 0.19% per cent from Moderna’s.
Moreover, as of November 23rd 2022, the age of the deceased whose deaths within seven days of injection have been reported to the MHRA are as follows:
- Under 18 years of age: 9 dead;
- 18-29: 49 dead;
- 30-39: 90 dead;
- 40-49: 138 dead;
- 50-59: 218 dead;
- 60-69: 305 dead;
- 70-79: 471 dead;
- 80+: 713 dead;
- unknown age: 369 dead.
With the average life expectancy in the U.K. being 82 years of age, these figures do not support the MHRA’s claim that these deaths were ‘natural’, ‘coincidental’ and ‘expected’. On the contrary, what they strongly indicate is causality of different degrees between these experimental viral-vector and mRNA injections and the recorded 1.5 million injuries and 2,362 deaths they have caused, and, respectively, the thousands and millions of others that haven’t been officially recorded.
On October 16th 2020, The Human Medicines (Coronavirus and Influenza) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 modified The Human Medicines Regulations 2012 to allow temporary authorisation of the unlicensed COVID-19 vaccines. But it also extended complete immunity from civil liability to the scientists, pharmaceutical companies and medical professionals responsible for their manufacture, distribution and administering to the U.K. public. So Pascal Soriot, KBE, and his fellow knights and dames have nothing to fear from the British courts.
As a measure of the contempt in which he regards his victims, not only in this country but across the world, after he was knighted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle last week, Pascal Soriot, KBE, declared that the concerns around the AstraZeneca injection had been “overblown by the media” and that the incidents of injury and death were “extremely rare”. “Extremely rare”, however, the term also used by the MHRA and the British Heart Foundation to dismiss the deaths and injuries caused by the COVID-19 vaccines, is medically inaccurate for injuries of this frequency.
In May 2019, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency estimated that only 10% of serious Adverse Drug Reactions and between 2% and 4% of non-serious ADRs are reported to them. According to definitions used by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, an executive non-departmental public body of the Department of Health and Social Care in England, Adverse Drug Reactions to the AstraZeneca injections are a long way from ‘extremely rare’ or even ‘very rare’ (affecting less than 1 in 10,000 people, or a risk of 0.01%). On the contrary, they are ‘uncommon’ (between 1 in 1,000 and 100 people, or a risk of 0.1 to 1%) if 100% of ADRs are reported; ‘common’ (between 1 in 100 and 1 in 10 people, or a risk of 1% to 10%) if 10% of ADRs are reported; and ‘very common’ (affecting more than 1 in 10 people, or a risk of 10% or higher) if only 2% of ADRs are reported.
Notwithstanding the denials of the MHRA and NHS and the legal immunity conferred by changes to U.K. legislation, and taking reported adverse events as a lower bound, Pascal Soriot, KBE, is morally responsible for injuring at least a quarter of a million Britons and killing 1,334 with his company’s viral-vector ‘vaccine’. This is the man the U.K. Monarch has chosen to honour and to protect with a knighthood.

Of those rewarded with knighthoods, I wonder how many:
a) have actually taken the injections themselves (and their families)
b) will end off in prison.
Well, one of those who jeered at Christopher Whitty being held in a headlock and videoed was rewarded not with a birthday honour but with a suspended sentence of eight weeks, suspended for two years. (Oddly, District Judge Paul Goldspring said prosecutors now accepted that Sir Chris was not targeted because of his views [of the vaccine].) I doubt that Whitty or any of the others will end up in prison.
I agree with you, but find it very difficult indeed to believe that his advice to the nation reflected his genuine best judgement of the right thing to do. I believe he was either pressurised politically or was subject to some other incentive or influence (bribery, blackmail, threats?).
A couple of months ago I received a telling off by DS editorial for levelling an accusation of mass murder at one of this country’s most senior politicians. I am pleased to see that in presenting such a thoroughly well researched and no holds barred article rhe DS team has now come round to my logic:
In addition to those directly involved in the AstraZeneca vaccine, other senior figures in the U.K. vaccination programme rewarded with knighthoods include Sir Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Office of England; Sir Jonathan Van-Tam, Deputy CMO; Sir Gregor Smith, CMO of Scotland; Frank Atherton, CMO of Wales; and Sir Patrick Vallance, Chief Government Scientific Adviser. These were all senior members of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), and therefore responsible for the tens of thousands of deaths caused by removing medical diagnosis, care and treatment for 68.8 million Britons under two years of lockdown, which has contributed to excess deaths in the U.K.
And just to confirm his deep entrenchment within the satanic corridors of the WEF, who did the “Honours,” why of course Charlie Windsor Saxe – Coburg Gotha, thereby elevating him to the same status as those labelled above.
An absolutely blistering and first rate article which wholly undermines – not that it is required – the whole sham that is the cess pit of the “Honours System.”
Any award that permits you to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bliar is advising that you have arrived.
In the same category as those who faced trial and execution at Nuremberg after the Second World War.
Many thanks Simon Elmer.
Quite an account.
In any case, honours are basically awarded to those who devote themselves to the system and who help to perpetuate and enhance the power of those within it and especially those at the top.
So in this instance the honours seem fully merited and well earned.
Charles is a revolting human being, I’m disgusted that he’s our king. He doesn’t give a flying f**k about us just another disgusting WEFer. Giving honours to other revolting human beings and his mates. Just the thought of him makes my blood boil, if I’d had the jab I’d be concerned I might have a stroke at the very thought of him.
Yes! It’s why I’m a monarchist, but not a Royalist. The corruption in our society has built up over a couple of generations. My Dad’s parents, who were born at the turn of the 20th Century (1901 and 1903), were the last untainted generation. Communist academics started the rot in the 1920s and 1930s. By the 1980s, their weird views and weird language was openly discussed, but laughed at. They sat tight, though, and have now successfully brainwashed at least one generation. Charles III was the first corrupted member of his generation in the Royal Family. I suspect many wish we’d had Queen Anne II instead.
I would be quite content to see the back of the royal family. What are they going to do if the plans to shut most of the airports and shipping lines come into effect, more or less imprisoning us and impeding tourism? One of the reasons given to retain them when people complain of the costs associated with the royals is that they bring in more than they receive due to increased tourism. Vastly reduced – or abolished – tourism will negatively affect the economy. Us ever abused taken-for-granted fools who live here will of course be ‘very happy and own nothing’ so will be unable to top up the generous handouts given to the royals…
Please see my email to Andrew Pollard, Chief Investigator on the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine trials, and Chair of the UK Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, asking who initiated the plan to vaccinate the entire global population against SARS-CoV-2 when it was already known it wasn’t a serious threat to most people?
My email to Andrew Pollard raises serious questions about the ethics process which approved covid-19 vaccine trials involving healthy people not at risk of covid-19.
It’s time for retrospective critical analysis of how the current global covid-19 vaccine rollout came to pass…
Who initiated the plan to vaccinate the entire global population against SARS- CoV-2? 30 June 2021.
Please also see my emails to Patrick Vallance and Chris Whitty, challenging them about the reckless and grossly irresponsible response to Covid-19.
The UK’s response to Covid-19 has impacted all around the world, including with the rushed Oxford/AstraZeneca covid-19 ‘vaccine’ rollout.
The reaction to the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the most reckless and grossly irresponsible ‘public health’ response in history 6 April 2021
Reckless and grossly irresponsible response to covid-19 – the UK in the thick of it 28 July 2021
See an article published in March 2021 in the Murdoch paper The Australian – Coronavirus: AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot says – vaccine is 100 per cent effective. (Behind the paywall.)
Quoting from the article:
And
Actually Pascal Soriot’s statement is untrue. The AstraZeneca and Pfizer ‘vaccines’ do not have ‘full approval’, they are only provisionally approved.
Please see my email to Australian Health Secretary Brendan Murphy challenging his misinformation saying the jabs are fully approved: COVID-19 vaccines are NOT fully approved by the TGA 24 February 2021.
More from The Australian article re Soriot…
Some more from the article in The Australian…very interesting to think back on all this now…

Terrific work. Thank you.
I do hope this bad cat is correct. DeSantis grand jury could be a wrecking ball…

Norway doesn’t submit mortality figures to Euromomo. However, many vaccination statistics are sent to the Hall of the Mountain King, where they are set to music. (I’ve never seen data set to music before!)
A criminal, in a criminal industry, who bribed the entire criminal UK establishment is given a peerage by the same, in spite of tens ouf thousands of murdered & injured from the filthy quacksines they vendored. Must be the $cience of clownworld. The Age of Men is over. The Age of the Retard long ago began.
When I recently looked into submitting an application for an honour to be awarded to an exceptional person in UK industry whose activities had safeguarded many thousands of jobs in the UK through the eighties and nineties, while making a huge success of the company he led, I was told in no uncertain terms that honours are not awarded to people whose achievements were part of their ‘day job.’
Clearly one rule for those with lucrative government contracts, and another for the rest of us.
Pharma is a business, its chief concern is profit and dividends to shareholders, the fact that it makes those profits through manufacturing drugs is no different from ay other company that manufactures and markets products, cigarettes, guns, alcohol etc. The killer literally is that Pharma uses the sales and marketing technique of selling a dream of saving lives, improving health. If their products actually did this then there wouldn’t be that much money to be made. Better to manufacture products that maintain a level of bearable health, not a cure, because where’s the ongoing revenue stream in that?Better to hyperinflate via the sponsored media the danger of all virus’, new diseases, and the need for multiple and mass “vaccination” every few months/ year. That is indeed very clever business strategy.
The cost of fines is built into the price of the products, as a percentage of the huge profits these snake oil sellers make its a small cost of doing business, likewise the buying of media, doctors, the regulators and politicians, its all factored in.
The CEO of Astra Zeneca should have been awarded his knighthood for outstanding services to sales and marketing. He is head of an industry that is akin to the weapons industry the difference between them is the defence industry does not hide or pretend it is anything other than it is, The Pharma Industrry is the perfect industry is the perfect representation of our WOKE, virtue signalling society, an image of all that is good, and caring on the outside, on the inside vilenessand misanthropy.
Great post.
So Pascal Soriot gets one sort of ‘life’, whereas a mass-murderer gets another.
