£550 Million of Covid Drugs Go to Waste in U.K.

by Will Jones
3 January 2024 3:00 PM

More than £550 million of Covid drugs have been wasted in the U.K., according to analysis of health data by health analytics firm Airfinty. The Telegraph has the story – though be warned, it’s from Sarah Newey of the pro-pharma, Gates-funded Global Health Security team, so comes with that slant.

Paxlovid – an antiviral developed by Pfizer and designed to be used shortly after people test positive for COVID-19 – was approved across Britain in 2021 after trial results found it reduced the risk of severe illness by almost 90%. 

Yet more than one million courses of the antiviral have now expired in the U.K., according to a report from the health analytics firm Airfinty. That figure could surge to 2.2 million by the end of June – equivalent to £1.1 billion worth of wasted drugs. 

Britain’s unused stock is higher than anywhere else in Europe. About 200,000 doses expired before they were prescribed in Spain, and 100,000 in France and Italy, respectively. …

Prof Paul Hunter, a professor in Medicine at the University of East Anglia, said: “My personal view is that we probably were over narrow. 

“Age itself was not an indicator for its use in the U.K., but I would have included older age groups in the target group even in the absence of one of the indicator diseases.”

Yet he added that there are legitimate reasons for a cautious rollout of Paxlovid, and said a positive Covid test should be a prerequisite. In the U.S., this requirement was dropped in 2023.

“Antiviral drug resistance is a real problem and although so far, not a big problem for Paxlovid and Covid, it is only a matter of time – studies have shown evolution of resistance is possible,” he said. 

“So if very many people were taking Paxlovid … it is likely that resistance to the drug would develop more rapidly, and then it would no longer be of such value.” …

The burden of disease has also fallen, while Paxlovid appears less effective against new strains of Covid. Even the U.S., which accounts for 54% of reported sales to date, negotiated a deal to return 7.9 million courses of unused Paxlovid in October. 

While Pfizer sold $19 billion of Paxlovid in 2022, this dropped to just $1 billion in 2023.

Paxlovid was also – predictably, given the way it works by inducing mutations in the virus – found to be likely driving the creation of infectious new variants of the virus. Way to go, pharma. Again.

And who can forget the Paxlovid rebound, where the virus often came back as soon as the treatment stopped?

Worth reading in full.

Isn’t it time to designate these organisations either unions or terrorists so that the assets of the individuals can be seized.

Only when they lose access to the wealth that allows them to behave like this will they stop.

I’d go more medieval than that. Using the principle of actions speaking louder than words, condemn all those convicted to live without petroleum-derived products for one year. That is not just fuel of course, but all plastics, many cosmetics and a constellation of other wonderful things our chemists have invented over the years to improve our lives. Some of them life savers.

You can’t easily make toilet roll without a machine that requires lubrication. That alone should give them pause for thought.

I saw a bit of the useful idiots protest yesterday. Mostly oldies, all wearing their fluoride made gore-tex, carrying petroleum-oil based banners, and stuff. I bet NONE of them have a car or drive regularly. 🤔 All looking so earnest as they shuffled along the roads, no life in them whatsover, apart from the regular actorvists banging drums, singing their well rehearsed songs. Oh, and hardly any police!

I noticed those people who protest tend to be middle class and very into cycling on bicycles made from titanium and lycra made from oil. They also tend to be university educated and therefore not very sensible. What they don’t realise is they are the ones the Globalists want to wipe off the planet. They are in their stupidity creating their own demise.

The only time the police self service is under a real strain is when they don’t have enough officers to protect politicians, which appears to be their main purpose, along with rugby-tackling elderly white ladies protesting about the mandatory vaxxing of children.

Miners in 1984 were sometimes stopped on their way to demonstrations before they’d even driven a few miles.

These XR demonstrations are being “allowed” to happen.

XR could be proscribed.

Attacking the population in general, including patients on their way to hospital, is f***ing vile and reminiscent of hijacking planes full of innocent civilians.

What is extremely interesting is that the MSM and the political class are keeping completely shtum about where XR are really coming from. Mustn’t upset Princy?

Why is the Steiner cult even allowed to operate schools in this country, let alone inspect them themselves outside of the normal inspection systems?

But… if you happen to have your way blocked by XRers, there’s an easy way to become a hero. You’d have almost the whole country behind you.

This guy who is working for the banking cartels and orchestrating ER and all the rest of this divisive nonsense would be a good start. The scammers Johnson, father and son, are nothing but traitors who are deceiving, betraying and screwing the British people on a monumental and outrageous scale.Look at the state of them. Why do we put up with this crap from these vile people.

I think we need to realise that as with the US, the UK is fully penetrated and being directed by the private banking cartels, being brought down via Soviet style infiltration and destruction. The City of London FFS! Its right here. This is what is going on, these are the people who are doing it. People like DOminic Raab are their latest reps, sent to destroy our world on a promise of fortune and favour. They are now so out of control that it is imperative that people become political. We vote these scumbag traitors out and we vote ourselves in. Simple as that. Fuck these traitors and criminals destroying our lives trying to turn us into slaves.

Narcissistic bastards. Complete and utter scum.

Whilst this country’s people are already suffering with energy poverty and sky high fuel costs. A lot of people, who actually have to drive places to earn a living and pay into this bankrupt system, are already getting hammered. These mentally ill wasters, having a day out with their flags, making matters worse, for everybody. This makes me absolutely furious.

And yet, what chance of this disgraceful government, who is on the same side as the idiots, actually defending law and order, and our way of life?

I would say, it is one thing to protest. But the blocking of access to hospitals requires a robust response to send a very clear message. The kind of response that requires a visit to A&E if they don’t take the hint.

I’m confident the subsequent investigation could be roundly ignored by most of us. Lessons learned and all that.

Maybe that visit to A & E should be required to be made without the use of oil. I figure that leaves the option of walking or riding a horse if one is available (even bicycles use oil, so they are out). See how they like that.

I don’t disagree with you. You misunderstand. I can see the ambiguity in my words. I am not disputing that these nutcases are already depressed. That is surely a given. Perhaps I should have said, ‘Perhaps they are trying to further depress themselves,’ as in perhaps they looking to justify their own depression.

Pardon me for the ambiguity. Needless to say, I utterly agree with you.

I fear you miss the deeper angle. As a Christian, the answer is clear. These lunatics are trying to find meaning in a world devoid of God. Granted, there may be professing Christians among them, but these will be few and far between, and mostly if not all will be apostate Christians.

As I already wrote once in the past: I think that man is a religious animal and doing away with the God of a sophisticated, philosophical religion (like Christianity) doesn’t change that. Hence, the fear of the unknown which begets gods gets channeled into something else. The first deities of mankind where weather gods due the weather being the potentially as dangerous as advantageous unknown on this planet, with people desiring both protection from and influence on the weather and both supposed to be enabled (to some degree) by religious rites.

Turns out the modern, atheistic climate anxious have effectively degenerated into a seriously atavistic version of that which is presumably close to the beginning of religion in the stone age: Their weather god is no longer a powerful but principally human being open to reason and persuasion and capable of compassion but it’s an inexplainable, irrational and extremely powerful beast god which will kill all human life on earth unless continuously placated by performing the right kind of rites, especially, continuous self-denigration and prostration: The very idea that man could be the master of his own destiny and activley shape his future is believed to be a preposterous sin with ultimatively lethal outcome.

1. Why the quotation marks around ‘Christian’?

2. Of course I accept the presence of other faiths. I’d have to be mentally challenged not to notice and accept this undeniable reality.

Do you think I am unaware of the existence of other faiths, or that I’m aware but intolerant of other faiths?

If not accept that you are simply promoting one dogma over another.

Yes, I absolutely promote one dogma or set of dogmas over others. Are you saying there are no true dogmas?

When people do not integrate in society and cause disturbances of the peace and material hardship towards others, they belong in prison. All of these people are not exercising any sort of legal right to protest.

Some info…

The XR symbol represents an hourglass. It’s a rotation of the dagaz rune, meaning “day” and representing the dawn of light as one epoch gives way to the next.

Now take a look at the symbol for The Exchange, based in Stroud, Gloucestershire.

That’s a triquetra. It’s also the symbol of the Steinerite bank called Triodos.

Then look at the address that Roger Hallam and Gail Bradbrook, two leading figures in XR, give for themselves in official filings for a company called “Compassionate Revolution”.

The idea about the “fifth extinction” is part of a belief system in which “epochs” come to an end when the population have lost their way and the “root race of the next epoch” has started rising. That’s what these people see themselves as part of. That’s what they mean when they involve themselves in stuff such as “Transition Towns”.

Apparently there is now a group called “Doctors for Extinction Rebellion” with members in Britain and…can anyone guess?…yes, that’s right…Switzerland.

One of them is Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of the Lancet. See how high this goes?

Are any lawyers reading this? Aren’t they breaking the law by using the red cross symbol? I thought it was protected under both English and international law.

Corruption of the local institutions such as education by nefarious actors, with scholar and thinker Julianne Romanello laying it out dropping so many nuggets of information. She is very impressive, forming a working project with Brendon O Connell who opens the clip with a very insightful commentary and summing up of the world we are seeing unravel in real time.

Our disruption will not stop until the fossil fuel economy comes to an end

The idea that the fossil fuel economy could be ended on short notice by people, who – with vocal support of the UN (a UN secretary reportedly said continued use of North Sea oil and gas would be morally and economically mad) – make lifes of ordinary Londoners miserable, is breathtakingly idiotic. Hence, this is obviously just an attempt to blackmail the UK government into spending more money on things the UN approves of despite this is demonstrably harmful to the population of the UK.

Another appointment has been scheduled for Wednesday 13 April at 11:15. Unless I can get some diesel I am left with four options, none of which are particularly attractive:

  1. I cancel the appointment. This has already been re-arranged because the first appointment was at 09:30 which would be quite difficult for me. The Hospital (NHS as it happens) managed to rearrange other appointments to fit me in. Cancelling is not really an option.
  2. I try to use the bus, or two buses, one to Aylesbury and the second to High Wycombe. This will take AT LEAST three hours in one direction. Not convenient.
  3. I hire a petrol car for the day. Not cheap.
  4. I get a taxi for 50 miles each way. This would cost (at a guess) about £100, probably more.

I am certain that I am far from alone in experiencing this massive inconvenience.

Buy a second hand petrol car with 12 months MOT for a few hundred pounds, use it for a few weeks, and sell it on again when done.

Any friends in your church or elsewhere? When I had loads of hospital appointments a few years ago there was no shortage of people happy to take me to whereever.
Still not a mention of the petrol problems on the news this morning.

I once read the XR website to try and figure out their agenda, but found it impossible to discern what they are even for. It is literally waffle. Essentially seems to say: “join our movement if you want to feel good about yourself…” Like some fruity, spiritual dance class mixed with creative writing for people on strong medication. Whoever is bankrolling them had the right idea – a herd of essentially mindless, useful idiots, some of whom will glue themselves to things, and all willing to dress up to make that special impression for the media, whose cameras are always present and rolling. Not co-ordinated at all, of course.

They literally look like a crowd of NPCs. There are maybe half-a-dozen faces there, repeated. It’s like masks-off at the end of a week long Klan rally where nobody has showered.

This is a terror organisation, and it should be treated as such by the courts. No more revolving door: 6 months inside, and then upwards from there.

There are already laws on the books to deal with this. The police are failing to do their jobs. Because of police failure the government will introduce draconian restrictions and further infringements on our rights. Do not fall for it. The fault lies entirely with the police, who no longer exist to uphold the law.

They changed that. They are there to create “social cohesion”, whatever that means. Hitchens is good on that.

Mainly the virtue signalling myopic upper-middle class who want to close down the oil industry and industrialise the countryside with solar and wind – more subsidies for the landed gentry, paid for by the ordinary working and middle classes. We have a PM who is not interested in energy security for the nation – advised by some very wealthy, and well known land-owning individuals.

This ‘crisis’ suits Johnson and Co’s anti-car (ie anti-personal transport) agenda, thus they’ll act lightly and late against these criminals.
Time for Johnson to stop fighting his proxy war in Ukraine and step down from government.

Police told to stand down as usual? “Orders from the top” is it?

They really are serious about destroying this country aren’t they?

This is what happened when our cowardly and gullible Parliament hands perpetual “Emergency Powers” to do what he pleases to a clownish, narcissist maverick who wants to be ‘King of the World ‘and takes all his orders from Davos!

If they lock themselves to pipes leave them there, who cares.
Blocking vital transport links, well Boris knows where the water cannon are stored. Get them out and wash them off the street.
It’s clear these fools are tolerated and the police just stand and watch.

Why aren’t these eco loons being arrested and prosecuted with heavy fines or even jail time for organisers / persistent offenders? Presumably the loon in No. 10 and his co-conspirators see them as supporting his zany net zero policies.

If the official police are unable to deal with this nonsense I’d have thought it’s time for a little citizen’s policing as per the XR caused chaos. How many men would it take to remove these imbeciles on a daily basis until they get fed up and go home.

Must say I’m rather fed up with XR. They are playing into the hands of the globalist agenda – destroy the economy, disrupt supply, jack up prices etc. I wonder where they think all their stuff comes from and how it got there and how they got to the oil terminals in the first place. I would have more respect for them if they rode horses, grew all their own veg and powered their homes with wind or micro-hydro but the chances are they don’t. They are just disrupting an economy that is trying to get back to some sort of functioning and it’s the small to medium sized businesses that struggle the most. The capitalist system is not ideal in any sense but we have to transition off it in a manageable way, we are not going to be successful with this shock treatment. They want to p*ss off the sleeping masses and wake them up but this is not the way.

Who is paying these eco warriors? You would think they would be a bit more concerned about the dangerous experimental biologicals wiping out huge swathes of people. Guess not. Paid actors?

No coincidence that all the ‘colleges’ are on their Easter break at the moment. These loons need to be arrested en-masse as they start to protest and locked up until term-time re-starts, then taken to court and the proverbial book thrown at them.

Perhaps it’s in situations like this that police tactics like those used in Ottawa and Victoria would be excusable. These are hardly harmless demonstrators – they are causing REAL harm.

They don’t need to – they just need a set of bolt-cutters and something to remove superglue at best, plus a load of Police vans to transport the ‘protesters’ to the local Nick.

If all they do is lock themselves to pipes, that won’t stop any fuel flowing. I doubt if they’d be so stupid as to turn any valve (not easy) to try and shut off flow, given the consequences might be very dire for them and the area if they caused an explosion (remember Buncefield).

If they chain (etc) themselves to the gate, then it should just take minutes to remove them. Why the Police just don’t do this is beyond me – do they sympathise? If so, they need replacing.

Imagine how they all got there and how all their clothes and banners were made.

Idiots. But you have to question why now and why are they allowed to be like this? Answer: it isn’t due to ‘freedom’.

This is what the powers that be want, disharmony.

These brainless idiot puppets are being paid by jewish networks and their bankers. Note how they always have all the new gear, posters, tchirts, banners, etc, etc… This is all part of the communist green agenda which seeks to destroy industry in the west..

Maurice Strong, founder of the UN Environment Programme:
– ” Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”

Paul Ehrlich, Professor of Population Studies:
– ” A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De- development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation.”

Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defence Fund:
– ” The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States. We can’t let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the US. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are.”

But many people have discerned the real motives of this agenda:
Professor Richard S Lindzen, speech criticized by politicians and activists who claim “the science is settled”, and demand “unprecedented changes in all aspects of society”:
– ” an implausible conjecture backed by false evidence, repeated incessantly, has become ‘knowledge ,’ used to promote the overturn of industrial civilization.”

Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, let slip during a February 2015 press conference in Brussels that:
– “ The U.N. ‘s real purpose in pushing climate hysteria is to end capitalism throughout the world. This is the first time in human history that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally changing [getting rid of] the economic development model that has reigned since the Industrial Revolution…[she called for a] centralized transformation that is going to make the life of everyone on the planet very different.”

Ernesto Araújo, Brazilian foreign minister of Bolssonaro government, in his blog:
– “ This dogma has been used to justify increasing the regulatory power of states over the economy and the power of international institutions on the nation states and their populations, as well as to stifle economic growth in democratic capitalist countries and to promote the growth of China…the center-left Workers [party] in Brazil is criminalizing sex and reproduction, saying that all heterosexual intercourse is rape and every baby is a risk to the planet as it will increase carbon emissions.” 

William Norman Grigg:
– “… the environmental movement is animated by a desire to regiment human society rather than ‘save the planet’. The movement’s economic outlook is socialist, its political ambitions are totalitarian, and its religious affinities are unmistakably pagan.”

Berit Kjos, “A Common Core for a Global Community”:
– “ Today’s emphasis on ‘saving the earth’ will surely involve mental manipulation and moral degradation. The earth-centered ‘new’ spirituality will fit well in a culture of promiscuity, propaganda , and paganism. And the seductions of the occult will speed the rising hostility towards biblical truth and values. Everything must change! Make no mistake about it, in a world where the ‘global collective’ determines the outcomes, Christianity will not be tolerated.”
