Deaths in England and Wales were a massive 20% above the 5-year average in the week ending Dec 23rd – that's 2,493 deaths, with just 308 from Covid, giving 29,880 excess non-Covid deaths since April. What's going on?
The risk of Omicron infection increases dramatically with the number of vaccine doses, by up to 300% for three or more doses, a study has found, in one the most striking illustrations of negative efficacy yet to emerge.
Britain didn't need Covid booster jabs as they only last 70 days, top virus expert Sir John Bell has said, as he backed natural immunity and said letting the virus circulate is "the best way to protect the population".
Correlation isn't causation. But the correlations keep cropping up and the causal mechanisms are known. The possibility the vaccines are involved in some of the thousands of recent excess deaths must be taken seriously.
Initially we were told that we would only vaccinate the vulnerable. We then proceeded to vaccinate everyone. Now we’re back to only vaccinating the over-50s, and only a minority of 50-59 year-olds are taking it up.
Only older and vulnerable people need to get an annual Covid booster, according to the CEO of Moderna Stéphane Bancel, who also likened the virus to seasonal flu.
Vaccine effectiveness against Omicron drops to zero within six months but natural immunity remains robust for at least a year, a new study from Qatar in NEJM has found.
In January to March 2022, 760 people died in Iceland, a sharp increase of 28% on the five-year average. The most notable difference from previous years is the booster vaccine rollout over the winter.
Protection against infection from a fourth Pfizer vaccine dose wanes to zero in just eight weeks, an Israeli study published in the NEJM has found.
Millions of Britons could need Covid boosters every six months for the foreseeable future, Dr. Jenny Harries, Chief Executive of the UKHSA has said. Better be sure there are no adverse effects from repeated doses, then.
