“covid” was never about “public health”.
I disagree tof. The C1984 was about health – seriously and irreparably undermining it.
To kill
To wound and thus shorten life
To destroy fertility.
At the moment everything looks to be on track for the perps.
Vaccines were never about public health.
Follow the money: How the Case Against Andrew Wakefield was Fixed in 8 Steps
Indeed. “MMR jabs don’t cause autism.”
Vast amounts of time and money were spent to trash any link.Reasearchers looked at the health records of thousands of children and concluded that there was no link whatsoever between autism and MMR jabs.
So, one may be forgiven for thinking that the children were split into two groups, one being perfectly jabbed according to the recommended schedules and the other group unjabbed?
Not quite.
The other group were er, actually more or less fully jabbed – but not compliant with the schedules.
There was of course no significant difference between the groups.
Result – Wakefield trashed.
Bigpharma’s usual “Turtles All the Way Down” (please read the book) in action.
It is not just that the ‘studies’ could not find a difference because they compared jabbed kids to jabbed kids = guaranteed no difference.
The MMR vaccine and the DTP vaccine both cause autism and just one reason we know this is from the US Vaccine Injury Programme list of ‘Table Injuries’.
As long as it can be proven a child suffered encephalopathy 5 to 15 days after MMR vaccine or 24 to 72 hours after DTP vaccine compensation is automatic.
Hannah Poling was able to prove this after 9 vaccines in one day left her autistic. It of course helped that her Dad was not just a neurologist at Johns Hopkins but he worked with Zimmerman who was the US DoJ expert in such cases.
Her confidential settlement case was leaked in Feb 2008 and remained in the top ten US news stories into 2009. All presidential candidates made all the right noises and after the election nothing happened.
Ironically it was John Walker-Smith who publicly linked the MMR jabs to causing autism in a presentation to an international Wellcome medical conference in December 1996 when he presented the results of the first 7 cases – all boys.
Thank you for that – and your post above.
You are welcome.
There is loads more on this site – which is blacklisted by Google for providing reliable and true health information instead of Googlease:

This is worth a look too: https://pandauncut.substack.com/p/the-dashboard-that-ruled-the-world
Awkward Git sent loads of FOI requests and got sent round the houses, ended up they were all pointing to each other in a big circle, the buck stops nowhere.
Remember the NHS “Rhythm of Life” promotion for vaccination which ended with Jim Broadbent saying “Just get a vaccination” with a tone of contempt?
There was no mention of voluntary and informed consent or side-effects however there were comments such as “Get that vaccine”, “I look fantastic” and “Every vaccine gives us hope”.
In response to a complaint, the MHRA said:
“It is the view of the MHRA that materials disseminated by Government bodies in support of a public health campaign are not caught by this definition [advertisement for a medicine] as they are not ‘designed to promote the prescription, supply, sale or use’ of a specific medicine or medicines. Their purpose is rather to promote public health by encouraging people to seek appropriate medical intervention, in this case uptake of vaccination against COVID 19.”
If someone sought to recruit for a clinical trial using such wording or promotional materials, the MHRA would likely take a dim view of it and it would be considered unethical.
Here’s where the NHS used to have it (currently “video unavailable”): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPjoQ3XpzkM
It’s still here (via BBC news). Rarely have I seen something so slick yet so sickening!

Thanks!
First time I’ve seen that since I completely ignore the BBC. What an appalling video.
There wasn’t any. Especially not given the way it was marketed to us all. I’m glad I resisted it, and never used it.
The definition of consent quoted in the article is part of this page:
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/consent-to-treatment/
This and some of the other NHS content related to consent came under a bit of criticism in 2021 once the vaccination campaign was rolling.
Concept long gone. My wife was not informed of many of the possible side effects of chemo. Them given CT scans, with Iodine as the trace dye, she was not warned that some people reach very badly to them – which she did. Six months to recover, then they dropped the amount, no change.
Pfizer listed over 1200 (One thousand two hundred) possible side effects of their death jab. Many life changing or threatening.
I know of NOBODY warned of anything more than “your shoulder might hurt for a bit”, or “you may feel a bit fluey”
The medical profession is gone, owned by Big Pharma and their only response it not to tey to heal you but to push pills down you.
I remember receiving my “invitation” to be experimented on, sometime towards the end of Feb 2021. I binned it, but now wish I hadn’t. It was evidence so I should have kept it. I don’t recall it giving me any “possible adverse effects” information whatsoever. Since I wasn’t in a high-risk group I was about 7 on their priority list which had given me plenty of time to do my own research.
I mentally carried out a process for myself, which was very similar to the one Dr Harcombe did by challenging the Welsh Authorities. I reached the same conclusion, resisted the coercion, and have remained un-jabbed.
I’m going to keep a copy of her questions so I can challenge properly in the future, if needed.
I got my proposal bumf through the post from somewhere that did not have a return address on it, or an easy way of declining it. There was a local group that had clubbed together and rented a venue owned by the Council to dish it out. So, what I did was to send a separate letter via email to my usual local surgery (extract here). Not long after that, someone replied and said they would keep a record of it, and that was that. No correspondence from them at all since then; perhaps I’m on a blacklist!
A prime example of gaslighting.
I have a similar 3 page letter from MHRA.
We should frame them….
In Layman’s terms Gaslighting is pissing on someone’s back and telling them it is raining.
I can’t stand those that do it.
Delving into the detail a bit more, re item 5) in the original letter, the statement that “we have had human coronaviruses for 55 years” is not quite right. “we discovered..” would have been better. In reality, we have probably had them for thousands of years; we just didn’t know.
That said, while I don’t agree with all the measures used to reduce mortality, it was a pretty robust assessment of risk versus benefit! The organisations involved seemed to have lost the plot, compared with the normal health & safety mantra “So Far As Is Reasonably Practicable (SFAIRP)” dictated by the Civil Service. Of course, the definition of “reasonable” is often a bone of contention, with money being a big factor. Certain companies have probably made a killing out if it, e.g.
I have tried writing to government agencies about everything from geo-engineering to covid ‘vaccinations’ to climate change and the response is always the same: we are just following orders from above. That’s the totalitarian brick wall you hit every single time. But hey, remember to go out and vote for more of the same, people – put your cross anywhere to signify your consent to this system.
Good article, thank you.
I would point out, however, that a BMI of 20 is below the most healthy level, and not drinking alcohol is less healthy than moderate drinking. Lots of evidence!
Red wine has been known as a good antioxidant for a while, something in the skin of the grape. But what is the quantity before it tips the ballance and becomes detrimental to health.
And yet today on BBC Five Live they were talking about the arrest of an influencer who advised people how to commit suicide and how they should get oFcom to sort all this horrible stuff out. This was that female presenter whose name I can’t remember (or spell) who laughed at the British flag on air. I TXT them that they have some nerve playing the concerned journalists when it comes to death from suicide (though not heard much criticism of Canada’s suicide enabling policies on the BBC) yet they are wilfully not interested in the deaths and injury from those jabs they helped push on the public.
