Dr. Michael Yeadon PhD was formerly the Vice President & Chief Scientific Officer of Allergy & Respiratory at Pfizer Global R&D. He holds joint Honours in Biochemistry and Toxicology and a PhD in Pharmacology. He is an Independent Consultant and Co-founder & CEO of Ziarco Pharma Ltd.
Dr Yeadon left Pfizer in 2011, having reached the level of Vice President, because the company had decided to exit their large R&D base in Kent. “The parting was cordial“. Upon leaving Pfizer, Dr Yeadon negotiated access to a portfolio of early-stage exploratory compounds, which otherwise would have been discarded, and in doing so extablished Ziarco Pharma Ltd, of which Pfizer Venture Investments with four other venture capital firms became investors in. Ziarco was acquired by Novartis Pharmaceuticals, in 2017.

I don’t [now] believe [in vaccines]…I was programmed like we all are. I had nothing to do with vaccines professionally, new nothing about them. Interestingly the vaccine research and development work, as far as I can tell in pharma, is always on a different site from the so-called small-molecule work…otherwise I would be bumping into them in the coffee queue…I would have worked it out. Because it was in a place hundreds or thousands of miles away, and I have no reason to be involved professionally, I just rolled up and got my jabs, had my children injected (Mike then cringed)”
…There is only one category of products from the bio-pharmacutical industry that you cannot question or challenge – it’s vaccines…and so this is one of the many pennies that dropped for me over the last couple of years.
- “…See now I’m a completely crazy conspiracy theorist“...”because nothing else fits quite as well…[to justifying the mass use of toxic vaccines]“ – EXCERPT
- Any medical product would take longer to bring to market that the time-frame the COVID-19 vaccines were rushed to market – alarm bells anyone! Qu: What made you realise it was all vaccines? “I don’t think I got there in one go…initially [Jan-Feb 2020] I focused on we were being lied to…” [he had worked with some of the liars] this made him “highly attuned to What are they up to?”- EXCERPT
- Mike never expected the vaccines to be rolled out at the end of 2020, he knew they would have to take 5-6 years, the development of the methods alone “to work out that you’ve got what you say, after all the steps of manufacture” takes about 2 years…”the whole thing was done in 11 months, it’s clearly nonsense.” – EXCERPT
- Many in the pharma industry still remain ignorant to vaccines – EXCERPT
- All the new jabs are “mRNA-based, I know for certain” …”they are designed to injure, kill and reduce fertility in survivors” – EXCERPT they are establishing this technology and it will be used repeatedly in the future, and he’s not alone in his concern – EXCERPT
- The journey from normie – “41 years listening to the BBC radio”! – EXCERPT
- James asks a list of questions including infertility, no convincing evidence for the presence of viruses, ivermectin, the “worried well” and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Inhibitor supplements, absurd overamplification of PCR “it wouldn’t take much cross reactivity…to get a signal” — all from EXCERPT, – “I’m no longer shocked” by what anyone says anymore – @52:40,

February 2, 2024 – Dr Mike Yeadon comments on substack re “the methods used to claim to detect viral proteins and antibodies to said viral proteins in samples from humans.” – COMMENTS, – Interest of Justice – CREDIT
- Immunoassays to measure things including circulating antibodies to things can easily by subverted …”So a claim that “there must have been a spreading virus because viral proteins were detected at such and such a date & location” or “there must have been a contagious new virus because antibodies to parts of the virus have been extremely widely reported” are both nonsense until the methods used to detect the things claimed have been pored over and shown unequivocally to be correctly set up & beyond reproach.”
- “You cannot create a tool to detect something without a sample of the thing to be detected.”
- “In order to qualify the test, it’s necessary to show what it doesn’t respond to & this “cross reactivity testing” has to be very thorough. If it’s not done well enough, the test will be positive…You can I think see how complicated this all is and how readily it could be deliberately subverted. …Note that commercial reagents could then be sold to hundreds of labs around the world. Scientists using it who are not involved in the fraud use it at face value..”
- If the so-called partial viral spike protein actually contains domains [epitopes?] to something that humans routinely encounter and might raise antibodies to, well, your “test for antibodies to spike protein” is completely subverted.
- Comments Mike Yeadon: “I’ve restricted myself to the large mass of evidence showing lack of contagion in relation to acute respiratory illnesses”

March 11, 2021 – PANDA: How Broad is Covid Immunity? Fear of mutations that make their way around antibodies or vaccines is likely misplaced. by Dr. Michael Yeadon and Marc Girardot – READ, CREDIT
- This well-known mutation phenomenon occurs continuously for Influenza as well as for Coronaviruses.
- “The paucity of confirmed re-infections with the virus, accompanied by clinical symptoms, despite hundreds of millions of infections over the last year, is consistent with a lack of “immune escape”.”
- “Acquired immunity is fundamentally based on the recognition of a large series of three-dimensionally shaped protein markers called “epitopes”. These markers are formed from a virus’s genetic code. When a virus mutates it can stop expressing some of these proteins, and, in principle, trump the immune arsenal specifically targeting these. And indeed, if all immunity against SARS-CoV-2 were based on one or two epitopes, and if those markers were to change, immunity would mechanically be broken.”
- To date, these mutations have caused changes in less than 0.3% of the entire virus sequence. All variants are therefore currently 99.7% similar to the original Wuhan viral sequence… To date no robust scientific evidence proves that any of variants identified are more transmissible or deadly than the original. By definition, variants are clinically identical.”
- Prior knowledge of viral mutation shows they usually evolve to become less deadly and more transmissible.”
- “Some are advocating the vaccination of people who have recovered from COVID-19. Natural immunization being the ultimate form of vaccination, we see absolutely no scientific nor medical justification for such a procedure.”…

November 30, 2020 – Former Pfizer chief science officer Mike Yeadon: The pandemic is over, PCR tests yield false positives – WATCH, BACKUP
“Perceived prevalence of pandemic is based on false positives from PCR tests.”
Mike Yeadon
“The most likely duration of immunity to a respiratory virus like SARS CoV-2 is multiple years. Why do I say that? We actually have the data for a virus that swept through parts of the world seventeen years ago called SARS, and remember SARS CoV-2 is 80% similar to SARS, so I think that’s the best comparison that anyone can provide.”
“The evidence is clear: These very clever cellular immunologists studied all the people they could get hold of who had survived SARS 17 years ago. They took a blood sample, and they tested whether they responded or not to the original SARS and they all did; they all had perfectly normal, robust T cell memory. They were actually also protected against SARS CoV-2, because they’re so similar; it’s cross immunity.”
“So, I would say the best data that exists is that immunity should be robust for at least 17 years. I think it’s entirely possible that it is lifelong. The style of the responses of these people’s T cells were the same as if you’ve been vaccinated and then you come back years later to see if that immunity has been retained. So I think the evidence is really strong that the duration of immunity will be multiple years, and possibly lifelong.“
In other words, previous exposure to SARS – that is, a variant similar to SARS CoV-2 – bestowed SARS CoV-2 immunity. – REF

The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has made three incorrect assumptions. They assume:
- That the vast majority of the population is vulnerable to infection;
- That only 7% of the population has been infected so far;
- That the virus causing COVID-19 has a mortality rate of about 1%
- “Many individuals who’ve been infected by other coronaviruses have immunity to closely related ones such as the Covid-19 virus.”
- “SAGE reached its conclusion by assessing the prevalence of Covid-19 antibodies in national blood surveys. Yet we know that not every infected individual produces antibodies.
- Indeed, the immune systems of most healthy people bypass the complex and energy-intensive process of making antibodies because the virus can be overcome by other means. The human immune system has several lines of defence…
- These include innate immunity which is comprised of the body’s physical barriers to infection and protective secretions (the skin and its oils, the cough reflex, tears etc); its inflammatory response (to localise and minimise infection and injury), and the production of non-specific cells (phagocytes) that target an invading virus/bacterium.”
- In addition, the immune system produces antibodies that protect against a specific virus or bacterium (and confer immunity) and T-cells (a type of white blood cell) that are also specific…”
