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.

Cue war drums against Iran…
Russia proxy war not going well
China too scary and too in bed with the US cleptocracy.
Iran, perfect.
🙂
For the 5 not very skeptical DS subscribers. I assume that you think the idea that this will be used to ramp up the likelihood of violent action against Iran (MAWR WAR!!!), do take a look at the Zero-hedge collection of news on the assassination attempt of a civilian by a Lebanese youth (as far as we know and do remember Mossad regularly recruits Lebanese citizens).
“This high-profile assassination attempt on a well-known British-Indian writer comes at a moment tensions are already long on edge between Washington and Tehran, also as attempts to restore the JCPOA nuclear deal are hanging by a thread.”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/salman-rushdies-attacker-new-jersey-man-shia-extremist-iranian-sympathies
Of course it may be that some of the down-voters thought my comment in poor taste?
Yes possibly i can agree with that critique, however, imagine if A Muslim writer in the US decided to write a book about JC being a homosexual with his disciples and secretly having orgies with Mary Magdolin, or that Mary herself had an extra marital affair to birth JC.
Do you think for one minute anyone would be surprised if some nutcase Christians put a bounty on his head? I do not for a minute think it would be justified, only not surprising. And who exactly is telling us that there is a threat to JKR? Just seems too convenient timing to think this wont be linked to Iranian State and used as an excuse to either attack Iran or prevent a renewal of the Nuclear deal (which Israel definitely does not want).
Anyway let me know your gripe. I will be nice.
Cowards
🙂
cowards
I’ve got no gripe. I never really had much time for JKR but I have warmed to her. She keeps pissing people off and doesn’t care or back down.
I don’t understand the downvote from you then (I assume that was why you responded).
I have not made any point about JKL, who has been an isolated powerful voice for women standing against the Trans nonsense.
MY point is that the very dubious set of tweets of one random unverified person from Pakistan threatening JKR seems like a convenient inflamation of tensions against Iran at a very critical time for Iran and a useful time for Israel and US neocons.
After all the crap we have seen these past two years, we should now all realise that our MSM lie and manipulate people relentlessly in the cause of powerful groups, it seems fairly obvious that one should question who is responsible for Rushdis vile assasination attempt. How many patsies do the PTB have to be caught executing before skeptical minds question the news and who’s interests get served by the narrative we are given?
Is this not the Daily Sceptic?
I only ever downvote obvious trolling or spam, certainly not your post,
Engage or ignore.
You may well be right.
Good policy.
We shall see. Everything is on steroids right now, so it wont take long.
Ditto.
I don’t downvote and agree – “engage or ignore.”
I have a couple of trolls who follow me round on here, as does Mogs and one or two others and whatever we post always attracts at least two downvotes. Those doing the downvoting are pretty much like performing seals and utterly pathetic in their predictability. At least they have paid a fiver for their fun.
I third that regarding ‘disliking’ a comment. “Engage or ignore” is my rule of thumb also. But don’t forget hux, you don’t need to be signed in or have an account ( just like the site in its previous form ) to like/dislike comments. What the enthusiastic saddos unfortunately don’t realise about me is that my motivation for posting has nothing to do with trying to be popular. So if they think that makes one iota of difference they are delusional. People-pleasing is not my thing in life generally and certainly not online. 🙂
Wonder if the DS team forgot to load the Round-up last night…
Thanks Mogs. Actually I thought you had to be a subscriber in order to like / dislike posts; this seems very unfair.
“What the enthusiastic saddos unfortunately don’t realise about me is that my motivation for posting has nothing to do with trying to be popular.”
Wholeheartedly agree. I come here for the variety of opinions. The fact that others here present different perspectives on a subject helps to open my eyes, if you will. I like to think I offer something similar in return. If I want ‘mainstream’ I know where to go to find it. I come here and to TCW, Off-Guardian, UK Column and lots of others because the discourse is decidedly “outside the box.” Being a contrarian by nature – awkward bastard to many – means sites like DS are where I feel at home. How did you put it?
“When you find your tribe…”
To each, his own.
I don’t often bother, but I do sometimes downvote tendentious nonsense.
Oh JK is great. She’s got lady balls.
I seem to remember a story about how the “US” branded some countries evil, which just happened to be the three that didn’t have a central bank.
For myself, it is more important to me that people oppose the lockdown narrative than how “sceptical” they are, although obviously there are plenty of other things that should be questioned (who exactly is calling the shots in the “US” these days btw?).
I think things could get interesting when Iran and Saudi Arabia both have nuclear weapons – especially if there is a revolution in Saudi Arabia.
(Btw do they still have police in New York?).
Lockdowns are just one of many tells that the globalists are at war with us. As such, we should, in my view, be on the lookout for every manipulation and prevarication that these Luciferian vampires throw at us.
The Ukraine conflict was the one that immediately followed Lock-downs and Vaccines.
We can clearly see that there are other ones brewing:
Drouts
Food shortages
Energy shortages
Cost of Living crisis
Hate Speech bills and Online Identification
Terrorism and Facial recognition Technology
This is a multipronged war on humanity by multiple power brokers who lie, use the security state, media and government puppets to manipulate, steal and kill us. EVERY NEWS ITEM MUST BE QUESTIONED. It is either distaraction or manipulation.
Lockdowns are the tip of a giant nasty iceberg of a New World Order.
I must say I’m worried about all that land being bought up by notorious eugenicist farmer Gates. He’ll still be able to buy popularity among many people who aren’t awake though, I met someone from Liverpool who thought he was great, some sort of marvellous philanthropist.
The dumb asses who think Gates is great are 100% overlapped with those sticking the death jab boosters to infinity.
They won’t be around for long.
That just leaves the rest of us.
Microsoft used to be a favourite hate target of right-on people because they were a nasty bunch of monopolists – people preferred Apple or Google – LOL!
Gates was pretty notorious for sharp practices within the software industry – not exactly a Mr Nice Guy.
All this seems to have been forgotten by most.
Why should people let you know their ‘gripe’? (Very patronising.) And you describe them as ‘not very sceptical’! Although I didn’t downvote you, I’ve downvoted posts on here before and have had to endure (though not difficult) the numerous little barbs about the ‘downvoters’, descriptions of our likely character (‘miserable’, ‘troll’, oh – and the ultimate insult… ‘triple-vaxed’ (!) etc). They downvoted you because they don’t agree with your post. Live with it. That’s what happens when you post on social media. I’m sure you love it when you get lots of likes don’t you? Do you insist that all those who like your post explain why? Take the rough with the smooth and accept that not everyone will agree with you.
I’m suspecting A Y M wasn’t being patronising but merely wishing to enter into debate with people that disagreed with his/her comment. It seemed fairly quiet comments-wise here yesterday and a decent discussion/debate always livens things up a bit. Its a shame that many prefer to ‘dislike’ and move on when engaging in discussion is a lot more interesting. We are, after all, trying to make this place more of a community and promote free speech. They could also, of course, be people who can’t respond anyway because they don’t have an account.
Killer punch Mogs.
Pretty uncharitable Deborah T.
The challenge was in keeping with Mogadishu comment below,
I don’t give a monkeys about red minuses.
Blimey.
Your analogy is a bit weak when we have had a crucified Christ upside down in a phial of the “artist’s” piss exhibited (and celebrated) with little more than a grumble or two.
It would be interesting to know if you are honest enough to admit that you are (apparently) relaxed about Rushdie’s Islamist stabber and have come out with another boring “The West always in the wrong” hypothesis to divert attention.
Now, as it happens, I need absolutely no convincing that the Beloved Leaders of the West at present are venal, incompetent, virtue signalling, malicious scum.
But I am one of those strange folk who think that Western Culture and Society is still worth defending. Whereas the Iranian Theocracy, the CCP Genocidal Dictatorship or Putin’s ultra nationalist Dictatorship, are threats to what is worth preserving in the West. The fact that Putin and Xi Jinping are obviously far more intelligent that any dozen Western Beloved Leaders put together, notwithstanding.
And it may be relevant that I’m certain that the number of illegal immigrants coming into both the UK and USA must exceed the number trying to get into Russia, China and Iran by several orders of magnitude.
Some come to destroy. But some imagine life will be better.
They’re better strategists. But then they can afford to be, they’re there for the long term (well to be fair jumping Jim is apparently up for reelection, hence, I understand, the Shanghai madness, but his party isn’t, and he’s not very likely to lose).

“Unvaccinated Novak Djokovic can play in US Open 2022 after USA confirms Covid rule changes”
https://www.timesnownews.com/sports/tennis/unvaccinated-novak-djokovic-can-play-in-us-open-2022-after-usa-confirms-covid-rule-changes-article-93538945
I think that’s premature. While some internal covid bollocks is being changed, unvaxxed still not allowed to enter the US. It’s the Feds that decide that, not the CDC.
Is that the same Twitter he’s using that insta-bans anyone who uses the term ‘groomer’?
And if “Islamist extremists” (because the other Muslims are less Islamic?) don’t get her, maybe the woke mob will?
The multiple stabbing of a defenceless 75 year old and subsequent threats against another courageous campaigner for freedom of speech simply reveal the cowardly and contemptible nature of the contemporary Militant Islam / CCP / Russian Federation etc tyrannical agenda.
If you put your ears more closely to the ground what you will hear is not defeat but the awe-inspiring sound of a sleeping giant – liberal democracy and it’s spiritual underpinnings – springing back to life.
From Jesus Christ to Salmon Rushdie and J K Rowling the message is the same: Love conquers all.
Get with the programme.
You must be joking. All I hear is the deafening silence of the Left as they desperately try to find a way to blame this on the “Far Right”.Let’s face it, if The Satanic Verses was written today it would never find a publisher. “Islamophobia!” They would run a mile, and if they didn’t, the Twitterati, Jolyon Maugham and the Batley mob would see to it that it was withdrawn.
Apparently there were two policemen at the event, supposedly to guard Rushdie. Unfortunately I think they were from Uvalde.
I wonder how many of these Muslim extremists the Government has imported over the past 20 years?
jeez you guys what did ms Rowling do to cause such a stir?
The price of diversity. Islam is stuck in the Middle Ages. But fear not, we have Satan’s own ambassador Justin Welby bringing up the rear.
