UK government no longer offers COVID-19 vaccine to under 12 years

In a UK Green Book update on September 5, 2022, the UK government no longer offer COVID-19 vaccination to children aged 5-11, except those in clinical risk groups.  Under 12's are no longer being injected, allegedly for "developmental" concerns. [1, 2, 4] The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says this is line with advice published by the UK’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) back in February 2022. [3]

Vaccine Effectiveness

All COVID-19 vaccines are alleged "safe and effective"! "Safe and effective" is a catch-all marketing phrase used for all vaccines. A "rare" side effect, which can include death, still makes it safe in the eyes of the authorities! Putting "safe"…

Australia indemnifies vaccine manufacturers from liability

On October 8, 2020, Australia's Morrison government gave COVID-19 vaccine manufactures indemnity against liability for "rare" side effects that experts say are "inevitable" when a vaccine is rolled out, and a statutory compensation scheme for "extremely rare" side effects will NOT be set up. [1, 2, 3]  Initially granting this to Oxford University and University of Queensland vaccines. The Queensland university/Seqirus (CSL) vaccine we pulled in December 2020 as recipients tested positive for HIV! The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine made it to market. In June 2021 the Australian government indemnified GP's who administered the COVID-19 jabs, and stated it also covered recipients! Compensation ended September 30, 2024 This action was prompted by the World Health Organisation through Gavi's COVAX Facility wo informed "each country receiving COVID-19 Vaccines through the COVAX Facility," that "whether distributed under an emergency use authorization or recently licensed [they] will be required to indemnify manufacturers, donors, distributors, and other stakeholders (the “Indemnified Entities”) against any losses they incur from the deployment and use of those Vaccines..." The WHO published a "global landscape analysis of no-fault compensation programmes for vaccine injuries" in May 2020 (preprint July 2019). "Data from this report provide an empirical basis on which global guidance for..> READ MORE

CDC: Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists is formed – notifiable disease list

The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) was organized by CDC’s first Epidemiology Division Director, Alexander Langmuir, in the early 1950’s as he realised the importance of having state input in policy decision making, and needed at least one person in each state and territory responsible for public health surveillance of diseases and conditions of public health significance. [1] CSTE is a non-profit "professional organization of public health epidemiologists in U.S. states and territories working together to detect, prevent, and control conditions of public health significance", in time the grew to include Canada and Great Britain in late 90s  [2]  The word epidemiology comes from Greek, meaning "the study of what occurs in populations", rather than at an individual level [pg 127] The first fully-documented list of notifiable diseases was generated in 1951 at the first conference held by CSTE. Since it's inception CSTE has had a close relationship with the CDC, particularly with public health disease surveillance. [3] In 1991 CSTE received funding from the CDC, and established a permanent "cooperative agreement" with CDC. The surveillance and epidemiology of infectious diseases, chronic diseases and conditions, and environmental health concerns are priority areas for CSTE. Over 150 members serve..> READ MORE

US move to remove thimerosal from vaccines

In "July 1999, the Public Health Service agencies (PHS), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and vaccine manufacturers agreed to reduce or eliminate the amount of thimerosal contained in vaccines in order to reduce overall exposure to mercury-containing products." The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Modernization Act of 1997  was passed November 24, 2997 and required the FDA to review and assess the possible health risks associated with exposure to all mercury-containing food and drugs, including vaccines, "because certain forms of organic mercury are known to be harmful". [1, 2] "The FDA review concluded that use of thimerosal [which contains ethylmercury] as a preservative in vaccines might result in the intake of mercury during the first 6 months of life in amounts that exceed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines for methylmercury, but not that of the FDA, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, or the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Although thimerosal contains ethylmercury, the federal safety standards are based on information about methylmercury, which is believed to be the more toxic form of mercury. [Meaning they've never studied thimerosal except a 1920's trial where everyone died!] The 1954 the polio vaccine trialed by Jonas Salk contained..> READ MORE

FDA approves bivalent vaccine on “faith” not data

On August 31, 2022 the FDA announced the emergency use authorisation of the new COVID-19 bivalent booster vaccine formulations both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech with NO human trials and NO advisory panel consultation, hopefully it will work!  The formulation contains the mRNA spike protein code for the extinct original Wuhan strain plus "one in common between [!!!] the BA.4 and BA.5 lineages of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2".  They will be referred to as "updated boosters" [1, 2] "The company has tested the BA.5-specific vaccine only on [eight] mice, so far, and is relying on data from both the BA.1 human trials and the BA.5 mice trials for their submission for authorisation".  A vaccine expert John Moore says “to rely only on mouse data (for authorisation) would be unprecedented"!  But both of these vaccines do not contain the mRNA code use in this new EUA. FDA Commissioner Robert Califf tweeted, "As we know from prior experience, strain changes can be made without affecting safety."  He is considering this new technology vaccine the same as an influenza "strain change", but is ignoring the trail of destruction. The following day on September 1, 2022, CDC's ACIP committee recommend the use of the new..> READ MORE
