Public Health Scotland demonstrated a significant increase in neonatal deaths (in the first month of life) in 2021 but refused to investigate whether it was related to the vaccine because such an analysis “whilst being uninformative for public health decision making, had the potential to be used to harm vaccine confidence”.
One particular Scotsman, who tweets here and has this Substack, has persevered with FOI requests and has revealed alarming signals that Public Health Scotland chose to ignore. There was a clear rise in neonatal deaths amounting to an extra 35 dead babies which coincided exactly with when pregnant women were vaccinated.
During the vaccination period (March 2021 to May 2022) Scotland had 60,169 births and based on historic rates would have expected 128 babies to die in the neonatal period, but 163 did.
There have also been too many post-neonatal deaths (deaths in first year of life) and those have not yet settled down. Over that period (from July 2021 onwards) there were 94,501 births. Based on historic rates, 101 deaths post natal deaths would be expected, but 131 were recorded, an excess of 30 babies dying.
Including both neonatal and postnatal deaths there have been 65 additional deaths. Over the period of interest there were 45,098 doses of Covid vaccine given. If the extra deaths were all due to the Covid vaccines that would equate to a risk of one death for every 690 doses administered.
Despite numerous FOI requests and involvement of the Information Commissioner’s Office, data on the vaccine status of the mothers of these dead babies have not been forthcoming.
It is possible to cross check the data that have been made available with data from other sources. National Records of Scotland publishes deaths by registration date. This can be subject to delays but it at least allows a ball park check. The NRS data show the number of deaths at age 0. Combining those with birth data gives a baseline level of baby deaths which can be compared to the level of deaths in the post vaccine period. The number of birth registrations were impacted by lockdown so that period has been excluded from the analysis. Pre-vaccination, the mortality was 0.324% and after vaccines it was 0.376%, which amounts to an extra 28 deaths a year or a baby dying every fortnight (see figure 2). The NRS aged-standardised mortality rate data for deaths at age 0 shows a rise from 316 per 100,000 to 376. For Scotland’s around 50,000 births a year that works out at 30 extra deaths per year – again in line with the FOI data on neonatal deaths (see figure 3).
Public Health Scotland has conveniently decided to stop publishing data on the impacts of Covid. The cancer data stopped abruptly in 2022 and the neonatal death data showed another rise in July 2023.
In England the data are less transparent. It is, however, possible to compare death registrations in those aged 0 with birth data from here and here. The mortality rate per birth in the first year of life has risen by 27% by this measure.
Many of the people whose deaths were attributed to Covid had a lower life expectancy than their peers of the same age. However, if we generously assume they had an average life expectancy then for Scotland there were 13,040 years of life lost to Covid. The deaths of these 65 babies amounts to more than 5,200 years of life lost and the harm is ongoing.

Try as I may, I really cant conjure up any scenario where a firefighter could ‘work from home on an ad-hoc basis,’ unless of course he/she set their own gaff on fire.
Just when you think things can’t get any crazier, up pops something to prove you wrong.
Try pulling this stunt in the private sector.
This is where going back to basic and irrefutable biological facts come into play. Andropause has always been an established thing but it certainly cannot be likened to women’s menopause, with many women suffering hot flashes and night sweats that can impair their quality of life. By the way, I also don’t think women should be taking time off work for the menopause, this seems a relatively new thing. There are many ways in which women can counter the unpleasant effects of menopause, and most do not involve medication. I’ve worked with loads of menopausal women and they each cope in different ways but they never rang in sick over it. Here’s the good old NHS describing the male andropause;
”The “male menopause” (sometimes called the andropause) is an unhelpful term sometimes used in the media.
This label is misleading because it suggests the symptoms are the result of a sudden drop in testosterone in middle age, similar to what occurs in the female menopause. This is not true.
Although testosterone levels fall as men age, the decline is steady at about 1% a year from around the age of 30 to 40, and this is unlikely to cause any problems in itself.
A testosterone deficiency that develops later in life, also known as late-onset hypogonadism, can sometimes be responsible for these symptoms, but in many cases the symptoms are nothing to do with hormones.
Some men develop depression, loss of sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and other physical and emotional symptoms when they reach their late 40s to early 50s.
Other symptoms common in men this age are:
These symptoms can interfere with everyday life and happiness, so it’s important to find the underlying cause and work out what can be done to resolve it.”

Yawn – just as women use menopause (and child-bearing) as excuses for putting on weight! Here’s a revolutionary statement. Men who have large bellies/man boobs/loss of muscle mass are simply eating and/or drinking too much and not getting enough exercise. But, just like women, a lot of them don’t want to hear it.
Yes that’s correct. Why have so many people turned into pathetic snowflakes these days? Take some ownership over your health FGS. Now we’re medicalizing something which even the NHS admits is not related to hormones but has its roots in a myriad of other possible causes, such as what you mention, which certainly sounds like a good place to start. I would also add poorly managed stress as a likely cause. Women seem generally better at opening up to friends and colleagues about stuff, also initiating doctor’s appointments or seeking counseling. Men not so much as they tend to internalise their problems and not speak about their feelings. How can this not impact on physical health at some stage?
All funded by the taxpayer – just add it to the list.
The sooner public services are returned to the competitive, free market, private sector – whence they came – and get these blood-sucking public servants of the public payroll, the better.
And the Conservative branded government will do …… nothing.
Absolute insanity. But then there shouldn’t be any ‘female menopause’ policies either. Menopause is a normal stage of life and, for the vast majority of women there is no reason for menopause to need time off work. I never took a day off during mine, and if some women do have such debilitating symptoms that they are unable to work (appreciate we’re not all the same) then they should simply get a sick note from the doctor.
It is an excuse to start medicating half the population after a certain age. Follow the money.
As a woman, if I went to my gp demanding a prostate check because I am a certain age, I would be laughed out of the surgery. However, if I was male, and went in complaining about the menopause, or, if I was a male who was pretending to be a woman, and demanded some kind of gynaecological check, (to support me in my fantasy/mental illness) I would probably be humoured and treated with sympathy. Wokeness only seems to work in certain directions.
Only because the doc would be sued if he did not take your ideas seriously. It is much easier for the doc to go along with the delusions & pass on the problem to his colleagues.
Watching the people in the market today walking past our local trans with a beard, long hair in a pony tail, a tartan mini skirt high heels & tights none of them gave him a second glance which is why they have to develop ever more extreme plans to be noticed as most are sad and lonely people.
I do wonder if they are hoping that their male patterned baldness will be reversed by taking female hormones. Won’t be able to change the size of their feet though.
Yes you can bet your bottom dollar that the men who have ‘periods’ will also want a piece of the menopause action.
I mean, just because it has “men” in the word, for fluff’s sake!
Is it just a coincidence that all these ‘work when you like it’ policies are in the public sector? When you don’t have to produce the revenues to cover the costs you incur it’s all so easy to waste money.
We are coming to a point where the entire public sector need to lose their jobs. Surely all this is just plain idiocy by people who cannot even do their jobs properly. All of the public services are now useless, yet we still pay? It is time to shut off the money.
Which ‘Charity’ has this nonsense come from..? Stonewall, or someone else.?
This is bollocks isn’t it? Or at least something to do with them.
ha ha ha ah jeezus. ——-Yesterday at the Pharmacist getting a flu jag I was asked was I white, male , mixed race……. de da de da. ——-I said politely “Can I just stop you right there, and can we bypass all of this stuff please”? ——-The lady scrolled down and said “Oh yes there is a bit that says would you prefer not to answer”. I said ” I refuse to answer nonsense like this thankyou”. Then she got on with the job of giving me an injection. There is only one way to STOP this garbage and that is to refuse to indulge their wokery
Always the public services, free from the financial imperative. Spend more, tax more, never mind the cost.
If women can get special treatment then so should men.
It’s about equality.
