“Our Daughter Should Not Have Died From Covid Jab”

by Richard Eldred
24 August 2024 5:00 PM

The parents of a young woman who tragically died after receiving an AstraZeneca Covid jab have slammed the NHS for not passing on crucial safety warnings about the vaccine. The BBC has the story.

Marina Waldron, 21, visited hospital with excruciating headaches three times in the week before her fatal collapse from a brain haemorrhage in March 2021.

Max and Liz Waldron said that despite her deteriorating condition, A&E doctors had seemed unaware of the emerging side-effects associated with the jab and warnings that had been issued.

Another family whose son, Oli Akram Hoque, died from the same complications a few days after Marina, are also calling for lessons to be learned. …

Marina, from the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, was just starting her career in film when she was given her first dose of the AstraZeneca jab on March 11th, 2021.

She had developed a headache and sickness by March 22nd and went to a London hospital only to be sent home with migraine tablets, despite mentioning she had had the jab recently.

Mrs. Waldron, 64, said Marina deteriorated the following day and was this time discharged by an A&E department, again with a migraine diagnosis and no brain scan.

On March 27th, her parents were so worried they took her to A&E in Gloucester. She died on March 31st at Southmead Hospital, Bristol, after suffering a heart attack and brain haemorrhage.

“We weren’t able to go in. We weren’t able to say, ‘Don’t you understand she hasn’t drunk or eaten?’ They [the hospital] just sent her back,” said Mrs. Waldron.

“But the next day it was worse and she started having issues with her arm – she was lifting up her arm and holding it, and that’s when it all went mad.”

At Marina’s inquest in December 2023, a coroner determined her death had been caused by a combination of factors: intracerebral haemorrhage, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis due to the AstraZeneca vaccine. …

The Waldrons want to know why medical professionals were not informed about the risks associated with the vaccine earlier when other countries were putting a halt on the vaccine and why appropriate diagnostic measures were not taken promptly.

They believe that earlier awareness could have made a significant difference in Marina’s case.

Mrs. Waldron said: “It was only after a couple of days in hospital that they took us to one side and said, ‘We think it’s the vaccine,’ and we said, ‘We’ve been banging on about this vaccine right from the beginning, and every single person said it wasn’t anything to do with that.’”

“They didn’t even bother to scan her.

“There was a possibility, a chance she could have been saved.”

Lucky the public sector is amazingly productive and these pensions are so well earned.

I was thinking it is good they retire so soon in order to limit their damage.

Public sector pensions are no different to state pensions in that they have always been unfunded. Successive governments have continued to kick this can down the road hence the mess we are now in. It is inconceivable that the Prime Ministers of the last twenty odd years or so have not been aware of this looming disaster so the question is why go so public on this now? It’s enough to make a conspiracy realist believe that the grand sale of UK PLC is not far off and we are simply being prepared for it.

Yes, all forms of state pension are Ponzi schemes.

Theywere bad enough when the working age population greatly exceeded the retired population but with baby boomers now retired there are nowhere near enough earners to fund state pensions. The triple lock was a disgusting and cynical electoral ruse but any politician principled enough to abolish it will suffer the electoral wrath of the baby boomers.

I’m sure all politicians have been aware but continued to kick the can because it suited all sides.

I’d suggest 2 things have/are changing though,

1. It’s becoming harder to kick the can. In some areas more than 20% of council tax goes on pensions and it’s only going to get worse.

2. We’re facing a change in government so why not draw attention to it to force them to deal with it (and take the political hit) rather than allow the status quo to continue

Actually, I forgot to state the obvious – no Prime Minister and certainly not MP’s are going to push for the reigning in of State pensions when for most of them it’s the reason they sought election in the first place 😀

Exactly, Politicians do things to promote themselves and to stay elected regardless of cost. Comfortable in the knowledge in that what they started will be paid for by someone else, and that someone else will carry the can for their decisions. Consider for a moment, the source of most of the problems of today, and the origins.

The scale of public sector pension liabilities is another illustration of the importance of economic growth. Annual average economic growth in excess of 2% is essential and eminently achievable if the right policies are adopted.

Liz Truss grasped this but lacked the political skills to implement a pro-growth agenda. Her successor pursues anti-growth policies as did her predecessors back to Blair.

The size and scope of the state need to be reduced radically with cuts in state spending, taxation, and regulation. Cheap and reliable energy is also essential along with incentives to save and invest rather than borrow and spend.

The state is far too large, far too powerful and headcount must be cut (either figuratively, or literally – I’m open to persuasion). Let these parasites find a real job in the real world where people (mostly) progress by competence rather than long-service.

Also, growth isn’t simply a case of ramping up GDP as most of our so-called leaders appear to believe. If GDP per-capita is falling (as it is currently) then we have a mirage.

Fixing the latter is far harder than pretending to fix the former, especially when inflation is eroding the value of money.

The country is divided into two: the private sector, mostly small businesses who pay the taxes; and the public sector administrative state that lives off it. They dictate the rules that maintain their supremacy over the entrepreneurs,and will never willingly yield this power.
The private sector now works up to half a year to pay for it. Time for change.

No doubt that this is a preliminary to discussion of assisted dying, completely voluntary of course. Has its appeal but I would avoid it given the ghouls that we have in charge. I heard an estimate that human productivity globally is less than one percent of what it could be if we didn’t have the parasite on our back. There would easily be enough abundance to care for the old in their dotage. Tha parasite sucks more and more and gets you used to it gradually so that they normalize the unthinkable and make you forget that you ever thought otherwise.

Ideally they don’t need to be cared for because they’ve set enough aside to take care of themselves.

Yes that would be far better. But the reality is very different. I read something recently that said that the average Brit doesn’t even have a few hundred pounds put away for a low level emergency like buying a new washing machine for example.

The Labour Party is campaigning on the basis of it ‘has a plan to get your future back’. They don’t have a plan and even if they did it would be doomed to fail. This time that we are moving into has nothing to do with getting your future back, quite the contrary. It will be a time when you will have no familiar foundations, no retrospective glories to appeal to. Essentially as new and alien as stepping onto another planet. In terms of politics you will already see that. The important thing is that the people see that there is no restoration or renewal of the old. What comes next hasn’t been forged yet but it has nothing to do with those power structures. They know that they are dying and so they engage in last gasps attempts. Where we go from here is going to look entirely different to anything that went before.

We talk about how difficult it is to financialize care work. Perhaps we shouldn’t be financializing. Like the editor of the FT said, financialisation is like a species of parasitic wasp which lays its eggs in the body of a host and then takes it over and destroys it. Anyone with any nous can see the doleful future that awaits if financialization isn’t recognised. I don’t even like saying it because it behoves a people to understand it.

There is a lot of confusion here. Describing the pension liability as a “bill” is incredibly misleading. The best way of thinking of it is how much the government would have to pay a bank to take responsibility for meeting pension commitments under current arrangements. These commitments stretch many decades into the future so it is not as though the government has to pay them now or even in the short term. Comparing it to GDP is comparing capital liability with a single year’s income. It is dramatic but fundamentally irrelevant.

  • These commitments could in theory be met in many ways – e.g. increased tax, increased borrowing or increased pension contributions from public sector employees (at the moment NHS employees contribute more to the NHS pension than is being paid out – the treasury pockets the difference). About a quarter of the public sector pension liability is funded i.e. there are investments of various kinds which can be expected to meet 25% of the commitment. However, given the size of the payouts it seems likely that future governments will find ways of essentially reneging on the commitments e.g raising pension age, means testing pensions, increasing income tax on pensions.

It is also worth noting:

  • The size of liability depends enormously on the discount rate used (future payments have less current value than their value when paid e.g. the money can be invested until needed). Apparently the treasury is likely to reduce the liability by £1 trillion simply by changing the discount rate next year. The surge in pension liabilities over the last three years was almost entirely due to reducing the discount rate.
  • The liability arising from the state retirement pension, which most of us will get, is four times the liability from public sector pensions

I should add:

I have never worked for the public sector and therefore my pension is private sector.

I do think we will have to reduce government pension payouts .

I don’t suppose it helped when Labour’s Gordon Brown and the Cons George Osborne raided the pension pots.

Not to mention some private sector company ‘raiders’ like the Mirror Group and Marconi – these stole millions from many thousands of people just to prop up share prices.

We’ll get rid of the Conservative Party this election but unfortunately it’ll be 5 years of depression until we get rid of Labour. New beginning in 2029. But will it all be too late. God help us 🙏

In the absence of any government savings on the behalf of the public sector employees who ‘contributed’ to their pensions all their working lives; these pensions can’t even be ‘cashed out’. They depend on tax income from those currently in employment.
The UK Government is therefore running a Ponzi scheme.
China, Russia, Norway, Saudi Arabia all have sovereign wealth funds to invest on behalf of their citizens.

And the Tories have increased the size of thePublic sector over that of Labour (no fan of either being politically marooned).Whilst we in the Private sector had our pensions ruinedand plundered by Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, and the Tories continue the theft, the parasitic politicians and the civil servants, DEI workers in public sector get to continue the leeching whilst they work from home and produce NOTHING which grows the economy.
And they wonder why people have lost all faith in so called “democracy”
