This is the ninth of the regular round-ups of Covid vaccine safety reports and news compiled by a group of medical doctors who are monitoring developments but prefer to remain anonymous in the current climate (find the eighth one here). By no means is this part of an effort to generate alarm about the vaccines or dissuade anyone from getting inoculated. It should be read in conjunction with the Daily Sceptic‘s other posts on vaccines, which include both encouraging and not so encouraging developments. At the Daily Sceptic we report all the news about the vaccines whether positive or negative and give no one advice about whether they should or should not take them. Unlike with lockdowns, we are neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine; we see our job as reporting the facts, not advocating for or against a particular policy. The vaccine technology is novel and the vaccines have not yet fully completed their trials, which is why they’re in use under temporary and not full market authorisation. This has been done on account of the emergency situation and the trial data was largely encouraging on both efficacy and safety. For a summary of that data, see this preamble to the Government’s page on the Yellow Card reporting system. (Dr Tess Lawrie recently wrote an open letter to Dr June Raine, head of the MHRA, arguing that: “The MHRA now has more than enough evidence on the Yellow Card system to declare the COVID-19 vaccines unsafe for use in humans,” a claim that has been “fact checked” here.) We publish information and opinion to inform public debate and help readers reach their own conclusions about what is best for them, based on the available data.
- Norway has announced vaccine injury compensation for at least three claims following AstraZeneca vaccination. An Oxford man has called for a review of U.K. Government vaccine injury compensation after he developed Guillain-Barré Syndrome following AstraZeneca vaccination.
- A 16 year old boy in Singapore suffered a cardiac arrest when exercising after his Pfizer vaccination.
- Some new medical reports exploring endocrine issues following Pfizer vaccination: one looking at a case of necrotising pancreatitis following the second dose of vaccine, and two looking at the development of Graves’ disease in two health care workers in Mexico.
- The U.K. VITT Organ Donor Study Group has published a report of an analysis of organ donation and transplantation from U.K. donors with VITT (blood clots) to understand the implications. It concludes that transplantation from VITT donors should only proceed with caution due to a variety of possible complications in multiple organs.
- The Daily Mail reports that the MHRA has quietly added warnings on Moderna and Pfizer vaccines that they can cause heart damage in rare cases.
- The Government has uploaded its Technical Briefing for Variants of Concern Number 18, which continues to show that despite rising cases the Delta variant is not currently causing as many fatalities or hospitalisations as the Alpha variant (case fatality rate 0.2% vs 1.9%).
- Following a FOI request to the MHRA for all vaccine associated deaths between 2010 and 2020, the Daily Expose reports that deaths from Covid vaccines are 407% higher than all cumulative previously reported deaths from other vaccines.
- ‘Breakthrough’ cases are being reported in Las Vegas, Wales and aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth. MyLondon reports that London Hospitals are refusing to provide this data.
- The Daily Mail reports that Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca are both seeking to modify their vaccines to reduce the incidence of life-threatening blood clots.
- VAERS – the American version of the Yellow Card reporting system – released new data bringing the total to 463,457 reports of adverse events following Covid vaccines, including 10,991 deaths and 48,385 serious injuries between December 14th 2020 and July 9th 2021.
- Suspected adverse events in the U.K. as reported in the media: Kent radio host Jules Serkin and Anthony Shingler (57).
Summary of Adverse Events in the U.K.
According to an updated report published on July 16th (covering the period up to July 7th), the MHRA Yellow Card reporting system has recorded a total of 1,059,307 events based on 314,043 reports. The total number of fatalities reported is 1,470.
- Pfizer (19.7 million first doses, 11.6 million second doses) now has one Yellow Card in 357 doses, 2.8 adverse reactions per card. Deaths: 1 in 68,640 (456 deaths)
- AstraZeneca (24.7 million first doses, 22.3 million second doses) has one Yellow Card in 214 doses, 3.6 adverse reactions per card. Deaths: 1 in 47,813 (983 deaths)
- Moderna (1.1 million first doses) has one Yellow Card in 123 doses, 2.9 adverse reactions per card. Deaths: 1 in 157,143 (7 deaths). (This is a high rate of Yellow Card reports but lower fatal reports compared to the other two vaccines.)

Yes, I think Eugyppius has been broadly correct from the start in his Team Toby-like analyses of the covid nightmare, convincingly arguing against the Team James take on things, including in his article on DS yesterday and in this follow-up to various objections today. (Having said that, I tend to disagree with him when he wanders off into other subjects).
I don’t feel the need to read any further on the various merits of the two sides of the argument. I’ll go with my gut – the chances of it all being a cockup, coincidentally coordinated at a global level, with no prior planning is as close to nil as you can get. No, an opportunity was seized upon to deploy mechanisms to trigger social and economic reform. All based around the biggest pysop in human history. The only question being when the opportunity was recognised.
Strange how all those thousands of WhatsApp messages don’t seem to contain anything about the ‘vaccines’ isn’t it? How does cockup/idiot theory explain all the glaring omissions? Even idiots knew the ‘vaccine’ was experimental, most people didn’t need it, and that it was a huge risk to public health. All the coercion and all the propaganda, all singing from the same hymn sheet at the same time. Come on!. It all stinks to high heaven and I can smell the sh*t a mile off.
I don’t even think Hancock’s WhatsApp message saga is a cock up. Someone is playing someone.
Maybe it’s part of Boris trying to be the Comeback Kid? He’s been in the news as of late, mocking wokery and the like. So far he doesn’t seem to have come out of the messages too badly – supposedly he did not want things to go so far and at this point he’s more guilty of spinelessness rather than the nasty, spiteful power grabs of Wancock and his ilk. Unless he can actually show he’s grown a spine, I wouldn’t bother if I were him, but that’s another story.
Could also be related to Labour – a lot of people are placing this whole thing on the Tories now, conveniently overlooking the fact that Labour wanted even more draconian measures and presented zip in the way of opposition. The only one who seemed to question anything was Corbyn and look where that got him.
Yep – no way Oakenshott would be allowed to release that without a nod from the security services.
“huge risk to public health” – accompanied by financial immunity to the manufacturers and the promoters.
The poison and the nazti pass were certainly a centrally coordinated thing. Why would almost all countries in the world wish to adopt something that required a lot of money being put into the set-up of an IT system that was never going to work for the alleged purpose?
Why was the nazti pass still being pushed in the UK and NL in October/November 2021, when it had already been established beyond any doubt that the vaxxed were passing on the virus at the same rate as the unvaxxed? The claim went from it was going to prevent infections to it would protect the unvaxxed from getting ill and having the audacity to need hospital care, for which we pay good money. Yet if the pass was needed to supposedly protect the unvaxxed, why were they pushing so hard for everyone to run and get a third shot? If only the unvaxxed were getting sick in October 2021, what was the third shot about? A question, I might add, that no one in the media felt the need to ask.
The Dutch public health authority wanted those who had had corona (with a government approved PCR test) given a green check in the pass for a year and a half, why did Brussels insist on it being 6 months? When Von der Leyen made her secret vaxx deal with Bourla, enough vaxxes had already been sourced to give every citizen of the EU (including children) 2 shots, even though the poison had not yet been cleared for children under 16. I read that Ursie’s deal was enough to procure shots to give every man, woman and child in the EU 4 shots – meaning a total of 6 shots had been procured for every citizen – how did she and Bourla know in April 2021, when making this deal, that 2 shots would not do the job? Why did she not share this information with public health officials? How did she know the poison would be okayed for children?
She knew, because at this point it had already been planned. And no, I don’t believe it was planned in January 2021 when the UK’s world-beating vaxx programme proved such a ‘success’, it must have been earlier, when these b’stards saw just how much they could get away with – at that point there was most definitely collaboration and coordination. Which is exactly why some harsh examples need to be set now – pour encourager les autres.
I don’t ever remember it being claimed the vax pass was to protect the unvaxxed. It was obviously used to segregate, stigmatise, a tool used both as an incentive to get jabbed and to blackmail citizens. “No more participating in society for you unless you produce your QR code to prove you’re not a health hazard!”
I knew someone who ate a meal out on the terrace, when it was allowed ( I never gave these Nazis my custom, on principle ) but the staff wouldn’t let her go in to use the toilet because she didn’t have a QR code. I had to do a PCR under duress just so I could host my daughter’s birthday party at a venue. None of these things were anything to do with protection, just blatant abuse of people’s civil liberties with the onus on treating those who valued their right to bodily autonomy as social pariahs.
I suppose ‘protection’ was the wrong word, although that is undoubtedly what the authorities would claim now when pushed.
At the time, even as the RIVM was urging vaxxed people to still get tested, even though they were assured to keep their green check even if they tested positive, the argument was that letting the
Jewsunvaxxed go out would expose them to the lurgy, they would become sick and would take up hospital beds. They tried to sell it as protecting us from ourselves.Now some twat who is a columnist for the Volkskrant and a brown-noser of Marion Koopmans (vet/virologist with ties to the WHO, Fauci and the Wuhan lab) is saying that the pass was never intended to help against the pandemic, it was only supposed to make people feel safer when they went out. If a vaxxed person needs to be made to feel safe using an electronic device, that means they don’t believe their vaxx works…
Right now they’re trying to get a big corona scare again, people are in hospital with corona – fewer than in the summer for goodness sake and about 80% of them are over 80 – half are over 90 fcs.
This is what happened.
Nobody in the west in Feb 2020 believed the population would put up with lockdowns.
Then when the Italians (the bastards) tried it and got away with it, it was off to the races. Some machinery somewhere kicked in and rode the authoritarian train as far as it would go.
They had thought of it for sure, they had dreamed of it, but never dared really suggest it because – it’s hard to believe this now, I know – they thought western populations loved their freedom and would never give it up.
But boy were they ready to pounce when they discovered they were wrong about that.
Tis what I think too
Me third. Eugyppius says that Italy had the most stringent measures – I believe Spain went even further, at least in spring 2020.
Spain had just as strict a lockdown as Italy, but if I remember correctly, Italy at least allowed people to go out for exercise and the like – Spain did not allow even that. Children were locked indoors for 3 months, if they played in an indoor courtyard of an apartment building, the neighbours would call the cops. People could take their dog out, but go no further than 150 metres from their home.
That astonished me. I’ve been caught up in a number of different demos and marches in Barcelona by accident over the years – the people there love to take to the streets for just about anything. I could not believe that they did not do so over such outrageous violations of fundamental rights – I certainly would have expected the younger people to go out, but nada.
One note on the second event listed: the Italian lockdown was extended from Lombardy to the whole country after two days because, as soon as the Lombardy lockdown was announced, anyone who could flee Lombardy, did. It was a complete embarrassment for the government.
Southern Italy wasn’t substantially hit by covid until later waves.
What happened in January 2020 in China, and then in March 2020 to the rest of the world, was an innovation in theory and practice.
Not exactly. I quote from the Rockefeller Foundation’s ‘Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development’ (2010) and its Lock Step scenario.
‘In 2012, the pandemic that the world had been anticipating for years finally hit. … A few countries did fare better — China in particular. The Chinese government’s quick imposition and enforcement of mandatory quarantine for all citizens, as well as its instant and near-hermetic sealing off of all borders, saved millions of lives, stopping the spread of the virus far earlier than in other countries. …
‘During the pandemic, national leaders around the world flexed their authority and imposed airtight rules and restrictions, from the mandatory wearing of face masks to body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces like train stations and supermarkets. Even after the pandemic faded, this more authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities stuck and even intensified. …’
Yes, Event 201 discouraged cross-border travel restrictions. But – again I quote –
‘Governments should provide more resources and support for the development and surge
manufacturing of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics that will be needed during a
severe pandemic. … in coordination with [Gates-funded] WHO, CEPI, GAVI. …’
‘Governments and the private sector should assign a greater priority to developing methods to combat mis- and disinformation prior to the next pandemic response. Governments will need to partner with traditional and social media companies to research and develop nimble approaches to countering misinformation. This will require developing the ability to flood media with fast, accurate, and consistent information. Public health authorities should
work with private employers and trusted community leaders such as faith leaders, to promulgate factual information to employees and citizens. Trusted, influential private-sector employers should create the capacity to readily and reliably augment public messaging, manage rumors and misinformation, and amplify credible information to support emergency public communications. National public health agencies should work in close collaboration with WHO to create the capability to rapidly develop and release consistent health messages. For their part, media companies should commit to ensuring that authoritative messages are prioritized and that false messages are suppressed including though the use of technology. …
‘Accomplishing the above goals will require collaboration among governments, international organizations and global business. …’
Any serious discussion of this question needs to discuss it in the light of Robert Kennedy’s The Real Dr Fauci, in particular chapter 12, ‘Germ Games.’ Anyone interested in the spiritual significance of the covid crisis should read my own book, When the Towers Fall: A Prophecy of What Must Happen Soon.
“It’s true that the pandemicists spent the years after SARS-1 developing ever more authoritarian mitigationist plans, but these were not lockdowns designed to stop the virus. They were, explicitly, about flattening rather than crushing the curve”
That’s what the covid lockdowns were supposed to be for – flattening the curve.
Yes, that flattening of the curve was supposed to be temporary in spring 2020, when the world was unprepared for a pandemic. No PPE, insufficient hospital staff after years of cuts, probably little by way of hospital surge training. It was sold to us as necessary to buy time and get things in order. Billions and billions spent, yet after 2 years they were still trying to flatten the curve. The only thing that needs flattening is every parliament in the West, so that we, the people, can build back better.
Indeed, “flatten the curve” was simply the hook for the slippery slope into the abyss that followed.
Not really. Three weeks to flatten the curve was never meant to be three weeks to flatten the curve. As Deborah Birx has pointed out in her book, this was just a phrase used to sell lockdown to politicians who were hesitant to implement it. It was (rightly) conjectured that once the initial hurdle for lockdown of both the general public and the economy had been overcome, getting it extended and extendend and then extended again, would be easier.
And that’s how it worked out. Lockdown 1 until Summer 2020, Nobody wants another lockdown! lockdown 2 in autumn 2020, Deadly variants! lockdown 3 Christmas 2020 and then the long drawn out We first need to vaccinate more people! period until Summer 2021. And lockdown was ready to make a comeback in winter 2021, again piecemail, 10pm curfew, mask mandate renewed, lockdown over Christmas extended until God-only-knows-when was the plan. Thankfully, it only went to step 2.
A slight change in direction, but does anyone know of any published quality reflections and recommendations as to what would have been a better approach to the virus in early 2020 and subsequently?
Maybe a editorial piece with this topic in mind would be useful to understand what had been learnt. We know basically everything that was carried out has little benefit to the populous.
I’d start with the UK’s Plan A that was thrown into the bin at the start.

Thanks, but I was more thinking about what non government thinking was.
We seem to be dwelling on how we got here, was it stupidity, conspiracy, planed Mr evil etc. Worth some investigation but like what was the source of the virus? hard to pin down and the key is not to let those who did this to us get off scott free and make sure we know what would have been a better approach, for next time.
Try the Great Barrington Declaration
BINGO
With regard to the author’s three specific events I note the prominent role played by the WHO and Ferguson both receive funding from Gates. Money links the individuals and institutions and money buys influence.
“When do we deploy the new variant?”
Ok, so what was the motivation here? If the Covid policies were a reaction to a frightened public, if it’s clear the public are now less frightened, why wouldn’t you take that as a win and announce victory? Why prolong it?
I don’t agree. Depite the overhyped narrative in 2003 re SARS’ mortality, the authorities here did nothing. I returned to the UK from the Far East a few months after Sars was MSM news, to learn that according to my colleagues whom the airline had called, I was seated immedialetly behind someone who was taken to hospital suffering from SARS. I asked what the airline had said I was supposed to do; they muttered something about “symptoms”. I did a few hours work, went home to bed and told them that if I wasn’t in the next day then they would have something to worry about. No, I did not come done with anything and the authorities never conatcted me. I was unaware that ‘containment’ was used here or in HK/Guangdong and had not heard of any form of testing beyond in vitro culture.
While I agree that incompetence and arrogance seem necessary attributes for politicians and public health placemen, the degree of lockstep this time cannot be explained by cock-up.
“since April 2020, though, you’ll find that everything goes back to local and national politicians, various branches of the bureaucracy, and the public health establishment.”
Tony Blair would disagree. He says amongst other things, in the 2020 report for the Gates-funded Tony Blair Institute (available on the Companies House website) that “One key area where the Institute led the debate early and changed policy – not only in the UK but around the world – was on the importance of COVID-19 testing… advocating for a Moonshot strategy which the UK government subsequently adopted… this successful template was used as the basis to advise countries around the world”.
The same report says on vaccines: “In late December 2020… Mr. Blair published a piece in the Independent calling for a drastic change in the UK’s vaccine policy…Following the article’s publication, the government accepted a new national vaccination strategy…which reflected our recommendations in full.” This was the Gates proposal to vaccinate everybody, not just vulnerable groups. The Independent article also mentions vaccine passports.
One correction: Spain basically copied Italy and China, except they skipped the local lockdowns and went straight to national lockdown, with martial law in all but name. Not exactly Fergusonian. And Nicaragua and Tanzania were also basically in the same category as Sweden, Belarus, and Japan. Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua actually *encouraged* mass gatherings. And in the long run, they ended up none the worse for wear than their stricter neighbors.
While there is no question the bunch full of useful idiots have no idea what’s go on, they are selected for their usefulness based on their levels of idiocy, narcissism, capitulation to and enjoyment of power and stuff the security services haveon them often dating back Eton, Harrow & Oxford days. It is not a conspiracy to observe that those who have money & power – from the aristocracy to the technocracy – would like to hold onto it. From the British Empire to the Bank of England, Rhodes, to the Federal Reserve & BIS (and soon to be CBDCs) the money supply has been created to keep the world in debt and therefore control. Should anyone step out of line such as Lincoln (greenbacks) or Kennedy (and end to secret societies), they are assassinated. Every war, pandemic or (next up) Green Revolution, leads to the same outcome: A transfer of wealth. The little WEF isn’t even a player, merely a house of distractions filled with ‘conspiracy’ corridors leading the wishing-to-be enlightened to a darkening forest of signposts. Left-Right, Ukraine-Russia, Remain-Leave – divide and rule and play both sides has served those who wish to hold onto and extend their wealth and power, for centuries, the layers of obfuscation from law to ‘science’ merely adding to the tower of babel.
There are no conspiracy theories (other than those concocted by the current conspirators to lead us in the direction) only conspiracies. And yes, there is a grand conspiracy which has lasted centuries. If not for that, how could a handful of aristocrats, bankers and technocrats control a population of 8 billion.
