COVID-19 vaccines must be suspended owing to the level of reported injuries and deaths across all age groups and a full inquiry launched into the MHRA, the regulator which approved them, a group of experts has said.
In a groundbreaking new report sent to every member of Parliament, the Perseus group – a team of experts from the fields of medicine, pharmaceutical regulation and safety management – has set out in detail the numerous concerns raised by experts globally about the vaccines and the specific concerns about the U.K.’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority (MHRA) responsible for giving them the green light.
“MHRA announced that it has morphed from ‘watchdog’ to ‘enabler’. Would anyone be concerned if that was said by the Office for Nuclear Regulation, the Civil Aviation Authority or the Defence Safety Regulator,” Perseus group spokesman Nick Hunt said.
The evident lack of interest in post-rollout issues with the COVID-19 vaccines was highlighted as particularly shocking.
Before the rollout in December 2020 the MHRA promised a rigorous “four-strand proactive vigilance” of Covid vaccine safety. But freedom of information requests have revealed that very little of this work is being done. The single report supplied from the “Targeted Active Monitoring” strand was 15 months old, from August 2021, the report says.
The group slams the MHRA for failing to act on problems with the AstraZeneca vaccine for months after many other national regulators suspended and withdrew it for certain age groups. The MHRA also continued to ignore “ever increasing evidence of Covid vaccine risks, notably blood clotting, heart inflammation, neurological conditions, immune downgrading and menstrual disorders”, the report states.
The secrecy around Covid vaccines in particular is blasted, with key documents on risks versus benefits that are routinely published for other medicines being absent for Covid vaccines. “This compromised informed consent,” notes the group.
Other problems include that the MHRA authorised the mRNA products as vaccines, which have lower regulatory requirements, rather than properly classifying them as novel genetic products, and that it failed to identify and address problems with manufacturing and quality control, leading to batch quality problems.
More general criticisms of the agency include that it assesses the safety of a medicine relative to its benefit rather than in absolute terms, which the report likens to the Nuclear Regulator saying, “Our nuclear power station is safe because it has fewer contaminated water leaks than other stations”.
The regulator also nowhere defines the tolerable rate of fatal and serious side-effects of new medicines, which the report blames for its slowness to act when problems emerge.
Freedom of information requests also reveal, alarmingly, that the MHRA has no process for investigating Yellow Card reports of adverse events potentially linked to the COVID-19 vaccines or other medicines. This, the report highlights, is just one facet of a broader lack of the kind of robust safety management systems and processes that are standard in other safety critical sectors such as aviation, defence, nuclear, oil and gas and rail. Similarly, freedom of information requests reveal that there has never been a safety audit of MHRA.
The report’s findings are damning and expose a regulator not fit for purpose and clearly failing in its basic aim of keeping the public safe from harmful medical products.
Concerns about the MHRA are nothing new. The 2020 Cumberlege report listed basic safety and governance issues that the Commons Health Select Committee in December 2022 noted with concern were slow in being addressed. But the new Perseus group report lays out in devastating detail for the first time how the MHRA’s longstanding failings have directly impacted on the disastrous rollout of the Covid vaccines.
The Perseus group suggests that anyone who shares its concerns could write to his or her MP to ask if they have read the report and what they intend to do. Other suggested actions include signing the petition to “Launch a Public Inquiry into the approval process for COVID-19 vaccines” and signing the open letter to the Health Secretary organised by the Together Declaration.

So the jabbed/zealot/manic/covindians Covid-19 crew have suddenly gone silent?
Let me guess!
I was wrong, Holy God! How could that be possible??????
say it a little louder honey!
I can’t here you!
I got me a crysler it’s as big as a whale, and it’s about to lie through it’s teeth (baleen) again!
I’m full of anticiparatty! …go figure

The writer of this excellent article concludes by saying;
”I have set out these new calculations in some detail because once it is more widely known it will help to bring the climate nonsense to an end.”
Well now, there’s optimistic for you! I wish that logic and rationality was a factor in this climate business but I am afraid it has gone way beyond that and seems to have become a religious cult driven with all the ferocity of the Spanish Inquisition.
Sounds like more Government propaganda masquerading as news.
In the comments section of https://wherearethenumbers.substack.com/p/how-many-deaths-were-caused-by-the/comments , this one caught my eye:

The Yellow Card system is a passive monitoring system by government choice. On behalf of the government, the Royal College of GPs Research and Surveillance Centre at Oxford University runs active monitoring of respiratory viruses, such as influenza and SARA CoV 2. Active monitoring of all vaccines would expose the dirty secret of modern medicine that vaccines are not the ‘safe and effective’ miracle popular myth holds them to be. So long as doctors, bureaucrats and other well-meaning health practitioners believe vaccines are a miracle, they will go knees to chest to suppress anything ‘anti-vax’ in the false belief they are doing good.

Aye, aye. Smells a bit fishy.
Saw it on GBN around midday; top item on the news, with police Scotland taking an interest in offices in both Edinburgh & Glasgow. M’s £600K donation being spent on the odd campaign etc, by the sound of it.
“Say ‘pregnant people’, NHS watchdog tells staff in gender neutral drive”
I’ll say ‘pregnant person’ the day they show me a bona fide XY ‘person’ with all his physical accoutrements – including dangly bits and testosterone levels – who who has become naturally pregnant.
Anyone else bothered by this? NHS to give our medical health data – you know, that thing we signed petitions about and instructed our GPs to withhold only a couple of years ago – to Palantir, that entirely corrupt ‘big data’ company. Were we informed? Do we get a choice any more? Clearly not. (It’s from Open Democracy so there might be a bit of nose-holding to read it.)
“In November, lawyers working for Foxglove wrote to NHS England on behalf of the National Pensioners’ Convention, Just Treatment and the Doctors Association UK, to raise concerns about the sharing of pseudonymised data.
The lawyers questioned whether consent requirements – which are needed to process pseudonymised data – had been violated, and what safeguards, if any, had been put in place to protect patient privacy.
NHS England has still not sent a substantive reply after more than three month’s but has now instructed all trusts to implement Faster Data Flows.

Following a story on GBN the other day, those who operate an iPhone might like to adjust their settings before April 23rd, to avoid the Gov’s trial “emergency” alarm game, allegedly to be tried on that day. In Settings/Notifications/EMERGENCY ALERTS, both Extreme Alerts and Severe Alerts, can be switched off. Mine have been.
Those who use Android ‘phones might wish to do likewise. It is really just a test of compliance.
