We know, by all the different measures, that many more people are dying now than were before the pandemic.
In particular, the impact on people’s hearts, and increasingly younger people’s hearts, deserves attention. The British Heart Foundation reported last June that since the start of the pandemic, 100,000 more people have died than would have been expected. That is surely significant cause for us to take this question seriously.
We know that there are adverse effects from the vaccination. Everybody acknowledges that; it is a question of the extent to which those effects have been manifested.
I am afraid, is that the MHRA is significantly deficient in the way it operates. The Cumberlege report—this was referenced in the earlier debate—raised concerns about the way treatments are regulated and licensed that have not yet been addressed.
I am afraid that through the covid episode many of the same concerns were manifested in relation to the vaccines.
We now know that the MHRA knew about the effect of the AstraZeneca vaccine on blood clotting as early as February 2021, but issued a warning about that only some months later—in April, a month after other countries had suspended the AZ vaccine. The MHRA also knew about the prevalence of heart problems and myocarditis in February 2021 but did nothing about it until June that year. In the intervening time, millions of people were vaccinated without the knowledge that the MHRA had. As has been said, we found out recently that Pfizer misrepresented the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. There has been very little comeback against it for that, and no meaningful fine. As we heard, just a few thousands pounds were charged in expenses.
The regulatory system that oversees the pharmaceutical companies is surely deeply conflicted, not least due to being partly funded by the pharmaceutical companies that it was set up to represent.
It is significant and of concern that they have made so much money out of the vaccines, and so far do not appear to be making due recompense for some of the acknowledged harms— I am not talking about the wilder claims—that their vaccines have been responsible for. Will the Minister enlighten us on whether the indemnities against civil and Government action that the Government awarded to the vaccine manufacturers at the beginning of the production process still apply if it transpires that the companies misled the Government and the public about the safety and efficacy of their product?
The inquiry has been mentioned. There are so many unanswered questions and apparent red flags that it surprises me that the media and Parliament are not more up in arms about excess deaths.
I am surprised that more attention is not being paid to this question.
The fact is that this scandal—if it is a scandal—suits no one in high places in our country.
It is true that we have an inquiry, but as the hon. Member for Blackley and Broughton said, surely it is asking the wrong questions.
It is very concerning that the module looking at the vaccination programme has been postponed.
It strikes me that the inquiry is essentially asking the wrong questions; it is really just asking why we did not do more lockdowns quicker. That seems to be its prevailing question for the experts—not whether the whole response was the right one, and crucially, in the light of what we now know, whether the final response of a mass vaccination programme was as safe and effective as was claimed.
We are rightly proud in this country of the effectiveness, speed and operation of the vaccine production and roll-out. It was a triumph of effective collaboration between Government and the private sector. The operation of the roll-out was a victory that all people can acknowledge, but it is not enough to say that the roll-out was done well. Was it done safely? Did it need to be done on the scale on which it was done? Particularly, did young people need to be vaccinated at all? We all remember Kate Bingham and others saying early on that the vaccine was only for the older population. These questions are increasingly being asked by the public and raised in the media.
Let me conclude quickly with what I have been doing. I hope that we will get more answers from the Minister than I have had so far from the Government. On 17 April 2023—a year ago yesterday—I wrote privately to the Secretary of State, asking him for evidence that justified the Government’s assertion that there was no link between the vaccines and the excess deaths. I did that because I had so much correspondence from people raising that concern.

Spike protein, pathogenic characteristics
The spike protein exhibits pathogenic characteristics
https://www1.racgp.org.au/ajgp/2024/april/long-covid-sufferers-can-take-heart?fbclid=IwAR0_LO6qgqBlf-Of5kix-wpuAVmNDtk1tYm4LJyIx-Rvn3SeFbEDGo3bK0c
Multiple studies have shown an increased risk of myocarditis after vaccination with mRNA encoding SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
mRNA vaccines can result in spike protein expression in
Muscle tissue
Lymphatic system
Cardiomyocytes
Other cells after entry into the circulation.
There is concern that COVID-19 vaccination per se might contribute to long COVID,
giving rise to the colloquial term ‘Long Vax(x)’
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35084966/
The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 exhibits pathogenic characteristics and is a possible cause of post-acute sequelae,
after SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 vaccination.
COVID-19 vaccines utilise a modified, stabilised prefusion spike protein that might share similar toxic effects with its viral counterpart.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38024037/
Not the natural Uridine
Uracil is one of the four nucleobases in RNA
Adenine, cytosine, guanine
The Critical Contribution of Pseudouridine to mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8600071/
Both consisted of N1-methyl-pseudouridine-modified mRNA encoding the SARS-COVID-19 Spike protein and were delivered with a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation
A possible association between COVID-19 vaccination and the incidence of POTS has been demonstrated in a cohort of 284,592 COVID-19-vaccinated individuals
Postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) is when your heart rate increases very quickly after getting up from sitting or lying down.
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/postural-tachycardia-syndrome/
Recipients of two or more injections of the mRNA vaccines display a class switch to IgG4 antibodies.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37243095/
Abnormally high levels of IgG4
Might cause autoimmune diseases
Promote cancer growth
Autoimmune myocarditis
Other IgG 4-related diseases
There are clear implications for vaccine boosting where these and similar observations,
relating to COVID-19 vaccination and the incidence of long COVID-like symptoms are substantiated,
adding further to public health officials’ concerns.
Understanding the persistence of viral mRNA,
and viral protein and their cellular pathological effects after vaccination with and without infection is clearly required.
Because COVID-19 vaccines were approved without long-term safety data and might cause immune dysfunction,
it is perhaps premature to assume that past SARS-CoV-2 infection is the sole common factor in long COVID.
Millions worldwide experience post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC or long COVID)
Although the Australian Bureau of Statistics and other health agencies in Australia do not survey the prevalence of long COVID, it is estimated that it affects hundreds of thousands
Long COVID is a heterogeneous disease with variable cardiac, pulmonary, haematological and neurological involvement
There is no consensus on what causes lingering COVID-19 symptoms long after the acute infection has cleared.
Often unable to secure a diagnosis, patients are wont to seek multiple serial medical opinions, frequently being told their condition is due to anxiety or post-pandemic mental issues.

Increased cancer deaths
Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan
https://www.cureus.com/articles/196275-increased-age-adjusted-cancer-mortality-after-the-third-mrna-lipid-nanoparticle-vaccine-dose-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-in-japan#!/
Gibo M, Kojima S, Fujisawa A, et al. (April 08, 2024) Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan. Cureus 16(4): e57860. DOI 10.7759/cureus.57860
Conclusions
Statistically significant increases in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancer and some specific types of cancer, namely, ovarian cancer, leukemia, prostate, lip/oral/pharyngeal, pancreatic, and breast cancers, were observed in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third or later dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine.
These particularly marked increases in mortality rates of these ERα-sensitive cancers may be attributable to several mechanisms of the mRNA-LNP vaccination,
rather than COVID-19 infection itself or reduced cancer care due to the lockdown.
Researchers have reported that the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine may pose the risk of development and progression of cancer.
Several case reports have described cancer developing or worsening after vaccination and discussed possible causal links between cancer and mRNA-LNP vaccination.
Details of the paper
No significant excess mortality was observed during the first year of the pandemic (2020).
However, some excess cancer mortalities were observed in 2021 after mass vaccination with the first and second vaccine doses,
and significant excess mortalities were observed for all cancers and some specific types of cancer after mass vaccination with the third dose in 2022.
During the COVID-19 pandemic
Excess deaths including cancer have become a concern in Japan
Study aimed to evaluate how age-adjusted mortality rates (AMRs) for different types of cancer in Japan changed during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022).
Official statistics from Japan,
used to compare observed annual and monthly AMRs,
with predicted rates based on pre- pandemic (2010-2019) figures
In 2020
(first year of the pandemic)
Significant deficit mortality for all causes, and no excess mortality for all cancers.
In 2021
Significant excess mortality of 2.1% for all causes,
and 1.1% for all cancers.
In 2022
Excesses mortality, 9.6%
2.1% for all cancers
Number of excess deaths 115,799
Number of excess cancer deaths, 7,162
Lung, colorectal, stomach, pancreatic, and liver cancer
Accounted for 61% of deaths from all cancers.
AMRs for the four cancers with the most deaths showed a decreasing trend until the first year of the pandemic in 2020,
but the rate of decrease slowed in 2021 and 2022.
Since February 2021, the mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (mRNA-LNP) vaccine has been available for emergency use,
and is recommended for all aged six months and older
As of March 2023
80% of the Japanese population had received first and second doses,
68% had received third dose,
45% had received fourth dose
Excess deaths from causes other than COVID-19 have been reported in various countries, including deaths from cancer,
and Japan is no exception
Japan, good data
Large population of 123 million
Availability of official statistics
80% accuracy rate of death certificates according to autopsy studies
Vaccination rates by age group, the websites of the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare
Discussion
All cancer deaths: A statistically significant excess emerged in 2021 and increased further in 2022.
In addition, significant excess monthly mortality was observed after August 2021,
whereas mass vaccination of the general population began around April 2021.
There were excess trends in cancer deaths across most age groups.
The significant increases in mortalities for six specific cancer types were unlikely to be explained by a shortage of healthcare services.

Pfizer is 'deeply sorry'
Pfizer, bringing discredit to pharmaceutical industry
https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/media/cwvkqvyz/3741-case-report-28-march-2024.pdf
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/06/pfizer-breached-regulatory-code-five-times-watchdog-finds/
Senior executives used social media to promote an “unlicensed” Covid vaccine.
Pfizer found to have breached the regulatory code five times,
Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA)
Pharmaceutical watchdog,
relates to a complaint about a message posted on twitter
November 2020 by senior Pfizer employees.
COMPLAINT
the complainant alleged that it turned out that such misbehaviour was even more widespread than they had thought, extended right to the top of their UK operation and was apparently continuing to this very day.
PANEL RULING
The Panel noted Pfizer’s submission that on further investigation into this complaint four other Pfizer UK colleagues, including another senior colleague in the UK organisation, had re-tweeted the same post.
The Panel queried whether a social media platform, such as Twitter was the appropriate forum to share such information.
The Panel noted the tweet contained limited information regarding the efficacy of the vaccine candidate with no safety information provided.
On the balance of probabilities, it was likely that the Pfizer UK employee’s connections would include UK members of the public as well as UK health professionals.
The Panel noted that the tweet clearly referred to the outcome of the Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine being developed to protect against COVID-19.
The Panel noted that Clause 3.1 prohibited the promotion of a medicine prior to the grant of its marketing authorisation.
They must not mislead either directly or by implication, by distortion, exaggeration or undue emphasis. Material must be sufficiently complete to enable the recipient to form their own opinion of the therapeutic value of the medicine.
It must not be stated that a product has no adverse reactions, toxic hazards or risks of addiction or dependency. The Panel noted the tweet made no reference to adverse events and was therefore concerned that important safety information relating to the vaccine candidate was not provided and ruled a breach of Clause 7.9 of the 2019 Code as acknowledged by Pfizer.
The Panel noted Pfizer stated that the senior employee whose re-tweet was the subject of this complaint had completed the social media training module in October 2019.
Activity which was clearly outside of company policy had not been taken down or deleted.
‘Unlicensed medicine proactively disseminated’
“unlicensed medicine being proactively disseminated on Twitter to health professions and members of the public in the UK”.

Vit D research, definitive and significant
Vitamin D supplementation has a protective effect, against the incidence of COVID-19 in RCT studies,
OR 0.403, (95% IC 0.218, 0.747)
In the RCTs performed on HCWs, the overall reduction in risk in the population supplemented with vitamin D was approximately 80%
Against the incidence of COVID-19 in analytical studies
OR = 0.592, (95% IC 0.476–0.736)
Against the incidence of COVID-19 ICU admission
OR 0.317, (95% IC 0.147–0.680).
Our meta-analysis suggests a definitive and significant association between the protective role of vitamin D and COVID-19 incidence and ICU admission.

Global cancer concern
Professor Angus Dalgleish, mRNA Vaccines Must Be Banned Once and For All
https://dailysceptic.org/2023/10/01/mrna-vaccines-must-be-banned-once-and-for-all/
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/mrna-vaccines-must-be-banned-once-and-for-all/
At the end of last year I reported that I was seeing melanoma patients who had been stable for years relapse after their first booster (their third injection).
The number of my patients affected has been rising ever since.
Other oncologists have contacted me from all over the world including from Australia and the U.S.
After boosters
The consensus is that it is no longer confined to melanoma but that increased incidence of:
After boosters
Lymphomas, a cancer of the lymphatic system
Leukaemias, a group of cancers that affect the blood
Kidney cancers
My colorectal cancer colleagues report an epidemic of explosive cancers (those presenting with multiple metastatic spread in the liver and elsewhere).
Those of us who knew from the beginning that the sequence of SARS-CoV-2 contained inserts which could not have possibly occurred naturally, and were similar to ones that had already been published from the Wuhan laboratory
The ‘vaccine’ did not stay at the site of injection as promised
Batch-to-batch variability
These alarming concerns seem to have been brushed off by the regulators when they should have immediately begun investigating them in depth.
Yellow Card and U.S. VAERS adverse event reports to be nothing to be worried about.
DNA contamination
So why are these cancers occurring?
T cell suppression was my first likely explanation.
However we must also now consider DNA plasmid and SV40 integration in promoting cancer development,
Reports that mRNA spike protein binds p53 and other cancer suppressor genes.
To advise booster vaccines, as is the current case, is no more and no less than medical incompetence.
No ifs or buts any longer. All mRNA vaccines must be halted and banned now.

Excess deaths, MPs request data
Health Secretary urged to release data that ‘may link Covid vaccine to excess deaths’

Health Secretary urged to release data that ‘may link Covid vaccine to excess deaths’
MPs and peers criticise ‘wall of silence’
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/02/health-secretary-release-data-covid-vaccine-excess-deaths/
MPs and peers have accused the Health Secretary of withholding data that could link the Covid vaccine to excess deaths
A cross-party group
“growing public and professional concerns” UK’s rates of excess deaths since 2020
Demand to be shown the underlying data for to support the Government’s assertion, “no evidence” linking excess deaths to the vaccines for Covid-19.
21 MPs and peers
“If those data do indeed exist, please share them; if thorough investigations have already ruled out such a link, please share the relevant reports,”
“There is no place here for blind faith.”
Written to
Health Secretary
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)
Potentially critical data, which maps the date of people’s Covid vaccine doses to the date of their deaths,
have been released to pharmaceutical companies but not put into the public domain.
Data should be released “on the same anonymised basis that it was shared with the pharmaceutical groups, and there seems to be no credible reason why that should not be done immediately”.
“Questions about these trends, however, have to date been met by a relative wall of silence from your organisations and other public health officials.”
A DHSC spokesman
“We are committed to data transparency and publish a wide range of data on excess mortality. The datasets published are kept under constant review.”

MHRA has indeed become an enabler for the pharmaceutical interests
We feel compelled to conclude that the MHRA has indeed become an enabler for the pharmaceutical interests or patient safety
industry, with patient safety no longer being its primary concern.
Medicines regulator failed to flag Covid vaccine side effects,
and must be urgently investigated.
All-party parliamentary group, (APPG) on Pandemic Response and Recovery,
believe MHRA were aware of heart and clotting issues,
in February 2021,
but did not highlight the problems for several months
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/27/mhra-covid-vaccine-side-effects-mps-all-party-parliamentary/
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03/05/esther-mcvey-covid-inquiry-lockdown-files-matt-hancock-baroness/

https://appgpandemic.org/news/mhra-letter-health-select-committee
We write regarding serious concerns about the approach of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA),
to patient safety and also problems in a system that,
far from protecting patients,
continues to put them at serious risk.
Primodos, sodium valproate and pelvic mesh
We also believe that the MHRA is at the heart of these far wider endemic failings,
and that those cited in this letter merely represent the tip of a sizeable iceberg of failure.
The Yellow Card Scheme
The Yellow Card Scheme … is failing patients.
Hospital admissions are caused or complicated by ADRs (16.5%),
while analysis of in patient stays has shown that 15% of patients experience one or more ADRs, with half being either definitely or possibly avoidable.
Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review Review, report First Do No Harm:
We heard about a system that cannot be relied upon to identify promptly significant adverse outcomes arising from a medication or device,
it is clear that there is gross under-reporting,
and our complaints systems are both too complex and too diffuse to allow early signal detection.
Under-reporting hinders the ability to detect signals and assign causation.
The cost to patient safety of such an unreliable system can be measured in the needless fatalities,
the considerable burden on the quality of life for survivors,
and a £2.2 billion strain on NHS England alone.
Only one in 12 patients are aware that they can report a suspected ADR.
A 2006 systemic review
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16689555/
The rate of under-reporting of adverse events was, on average, 94% and possibly as high as 98%,
meaning possibly only two in every 100 ADRs were reported to the MHRA.
For example, a survey of UK pharmacists suggested they lack interest in, and do not promote, direct patient reporting.
Only 19% of the respondents displayed a poster promoting the Yellow Card Scheme in their pharmacy.
2023, analysis of anticoagulants
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37269441/
Reporting of gastrointestinal bleeds
North West of England Hospital Trust recorded 12,013 bleed-related emergency admissions.
Of these, 1,058 were taking DOAC anticoagulants.
Only six DOAC Yellow Card reports (0.56% of the possible) were made by the Trust during the period.
Conflicts of Interest and Transparency
From FDA to MHRA: are drug regulators for hire?
https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1538
The regulator-industry revolving door
Proportion of covid-19 vaccine committee members that declared financial COIs
UK, HMRA, 32%
Australia, TGA, 50%
March 2022, Dame June Raine, Chief Executive of the MHRA
agency’s transition from “the watchdog to the enabler”
does little to quell suspicions of conflicts and the implications for patient safety and cannot be overlooked.
MHRA’s responses to Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.
Between 2008 and 2017,
only 41% of requests were successful.
Since 2019, the number of requests has seen a substantial increase from 609 to 1,609 in 2021,
likely due to concerns about the regulation of Covid-19 vaccinations,
with 76% of these requests answered outside the 20 working days statutory response time.
Often exemptions were applied or vague or evasive responses were received.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
from regulatory approval to post marketing pharmacovigilance the MHRA has a history of failing patients
The MHRA does not attempt to assess or compare the safety of different vaccines
MHRA “does not hold a process for the investigation and follow up of individual Yellow Card reports”
MHRA only followed up some 54% of deaths reported in yellow cards as possibly linked to exposure to one of the Covid-19 vaccines.
Two months later, 7 May, (2021) the MHRA withdrew AZ for under 40s, but only after further needless deaths
What conclusions are we to draw about the seeming unwillingness of a regulator, largely funded by those it regulates, to disclose data to the same public it professes to protect?
We feel compelled to conclude that the MHRA has indeed become an enabler for the pharmaceutical industry, with patient safety no longer being its primary concern.

https://lighthousedeclaration.org/declaration/
Ros Nealon-Cook, a psychologist from Australia, had her license suspended for sounding the alarm about the harms to children from government pandemic policy. Ros has joined forces with a number health professionals from around the world who were similarly censored and silenced. Together, they have created The Cape Byron Lighthouse Declaration to raise awareness about the widespread propaganda and censorship of expert scientific opinion. You can read and sign the declaration here: www.lighthousedeclaration.world – adding your signature will take less than a minute.
In the coming months, the Lighthouse Declaration team will host a series of webinars and roundtables to further expand the conversation on these critical issues.
