The link if any between vaccines and autism has long been contentious.

On the one hand there are those who compare the rising numbers of vaccines delivered against the rising number of children diagnosed with autism, and on the other we have the regulatory authorities steadfastly denying any link, apparently on the basis of "not proven".

Good luck telling that to the parents of children who developed autism soon after having them vaccinated.

Now ICAN (Informed Consent Action Network) has received emails from the CDC in response to an FOIAR (Freedom of Information Act Request) that casts doubt on the way in which the CDC has administered its procedures:

"On August 27, 2014, Dr. Thompson, provided a statement through his attorney that the CDC “omitted statistically significant information” showing an association between the MMR vaccine and autism..."

Brain Gerrish of UK Column discusses with researcher Debi Evans the upwardly mobile genomics industry in the United Kingdom, and where it's going, and how a data bonanza derived from the massive government Covid testing programme may be feeding it with all our DNA.

Full article here.

Whilst I am sure that they are probably on the right track, I can't help but think back twenty years to 1990s/ 2000s when the first mappings were undertaken. At the time the newspapers were full of articles that promised tailored medicines for the individual and novel cures for all sorts of diseases, and here we are in 2021 rebooting the whole tired narrative.

"Approaching what appears to be the imminent licensure of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, ICAN’s legal team submitted a Citizen Petition demanding essential and specific data be required by the FDA before it licenses a vaccine for COVID-19.  These requested data are vital to ensuring both safety and efficacy of the vaccine before any approval by the FDA."

I'm not at all clear why this licensure should be imminent when the stage 3 trials are not yet scheduled to be completed, but let that pass.

The point is that if the FDA grants full approval then it becomes far easier to mandate the vaccine on the unvaccinated, maybe through employment conditions travel conditions, health service conditions or any other means.

I also have no doubt that approval by our UK MHRA will be a

Children's Health Defence publishes a report that the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) in the USA has approved a novel GMO product for use in fake meat burgers. Clever scientists and technologists can do many things but infallible wisdom is not necessarily amongst their primary attributes.

"Impossible Foods’ rat study was not large or long enough to meet minimum FDA requirements, yet still showed some concerning health risks"

" ... these highly processed junk foods are a disaster for both human health and the environment"

"Impossible Foods has even been granted Child Nutrition Labels, paving the way for their products’ use in K-12 schools"

Well, they get up to all sorts of things in the US but how does that affect us here in the UK?

As we have seen in the past, these US-based innovations have a habit of crossing the Atlantic in short order, especially if there is money to

This is a deliberately provocative question.

The scientific method is clear - the facts must be clearly established, the assumptions (or axioms) clearly stated, and the theory must be repeatedly demonstrable in practice by other researchers working independently.

The same basic principles apply in the associated branches of engineering, otherwise it would be impossible to manufacture any product to a consistent standard.

In the physical sciences (physics, chemistry etc) we have engineers (electrical, mechanical, chemical etc) who make use of the science to fabricate maintain and (occasionally) repair the useful products that we have now carelessly come to take for granted.

In the medical sciences we have . . .   not engineers, but clinicians of various persuasions who provide conflicting advice on what makes us ill and how we might recover our health.

Now that we have a year of Covid hype and fear-mongering under our belts, two well-grounded experts take a look at what happened and why perhaps they happened. Maybe this will inform us as 2021 develops further:

Ivor Cummins has become famous for his meticulous analyses of the statistics in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic, and many have found him a very reassuring fount of good sense.

Here he turns his attention to the critical role that Vitamin D (and its co-factors) plays in keeping us upright and fully operable. Very illuminating.

He also teaches the story on how sunshine (or lack of it) promotes the photosynthesis of vitamin D (and more) within the human body. Bookmark the page.

ICAN (Informed Consent Action Network) yesterday published a legal update on its Sept 2018 FOIA request to the FDAto obtain copies of the clinical trials relied upon to license the varicella vaccine in 1995.

Yes, it has taken the best part of 30 months for the FDA to provide the necessary information, but that information has now been forthcoming.

"The FDA’s basis for licensing VARIVAX is incredible when considering that: (i) states mandate by law that millions of children receive VARIVAX every year; (ii) Merck cannot be sued for most injuries caused by this product under federal law; and (iii)  Merck’s sales

Do you work for a health service, a university, a care home or hospice, national or local government, or are you a student, a parent or anyone else concerned about unwarranted coercion to give up a freedom?

Law or Fiction have launched a new "Ain't just whistling" service where you can register your concern with a view to ensuring your protection under whistle-blower legislation.

"... it takes courage to speak up. So we have thought carefully about what is needed to make sure you and weain’t just whistling in the wind"

LaworFiction report on their case about the compulsory wearing of masks in English (and I assume Welsh) schools (Scotland has a different legal system and it's not clear how much this ruling affects Scotland, if at all).

"It is good news that it seems masks will no longer be encouraged in classrooms from 17 May"

"We know from the school's evidence in this case that it, like most others, relied on the government Guidance in respect of its risk assessment. But we also know, from government responses elsewhere, that the government admits to making no assessment of the harms from masks other than to survey of the views of 'stakeholders' such as teachers unions. So who is assessing the risks?"

"The Government has controlled schools and businesses through guidance, fear and largely empty threats that failing to follow the guidance would be a breach of the

Is Covid-19 a crime against humanity?

Or are the vaccines a crime against humanity?

Or both of the above?

A crime must cause damage. An attempted crime need not cause damage but must have been attempted in order to cause damage.

It could be argued that Covid-19 itself (whatever it actually is) did not cause damage (being little worse than the infuenza which it seems to have somehow replaced), but was used by certain governments as the reason for the undoubted damage caused by imposition of severe lockdown restrictions.

But the case against the virtual imposition of vaccines through fear of Covid-19 induced by psychological manipulation is much stronger. The vaccines have not been fully authorised, they have only been given approval for use in an emergency, long-term safety is unknown. The trials are ongoing and will not be completed until 2022/2023. Yet the

Bayer (the company that purchased the rights to herbicide glyphosate when it bought Monsanto and ended up settling a court case for $2 billion) has lost another case, this time in the ECLJ, which upheld a lower court decision to ban certain "bee-killing" pesticides from use in the EU.

“protecting nature and people's health takes precedence over the narrow economic interests of powerful multinationals”

Nevertheless it's only a partial ban relating to its use on certain crops ("maize, rapeseed, and some cereals") - but

You won't believe this - that isn't the half of it.

For some families this really will change everything.

That's quite a claim.

Dr Keith Scott-Mumby (Mancunian, so "one of ours" even if now resident in the US of A) is no ordinary doctor.

In this age when we are subject to all sorts of conflicting messages (vaccines good, vaccines very bad, antibiotics wonderful, antibiotics failing through over-use, fluoride good, fluoride bad etc) Dr Keith has maintained a firm grounding in real medical science rather than the reflexive "your (pharma-trained) doctor is the all knowing expert - so do as he says".

As a man with a foot in multiple camps (OK, that should probably be "a finger in multiple pies" since he isn't centipedal) he is not afraid to look within any discipline to find what works and what doesn't.

Dr Shiva describes the history of the Climate Change "science" - what is the difference between "science" and pseudo-science?

(A question that might also usefully be directed towards the Covid-19 pandemic narratives)

Science requires observations (evidence) in order to prepare a hypothesis, and from that hypothesis we may prepare a number of predictions.

The resulting predictions are then compared with new observations of reality, and if all of the predictions are observed to be true then that hypothesis becomes a theory... until new observations come along that do not fit the predictions.

To confirm the theory and guard against errors, the same process must be repeated by independent scientists, working independently, in the process known as peer review. If peer review confirms the results then the theory becomes the "accepted science".A single properly...

The government has released it first report on the adverse events reported following UK Covid-19 vaccinations.

The "Yellow Card" system records unsolicited reports of vaccine adverse events, as reported by members of the public. As far as I know these are analysed as reported without moderation or verification.

Report any Coronavirus vaccine or other Yellow Card event here.

Whereas the MHRA asserts that it has proactive systems for monitoring adverse events, the above Yellow Card system is not proactive, as it relies upon the initiative of members of the public

We are what we eat, and what we drink. This is indisputable.

The human body is a remarkably self-adjusting and self-cleansing organism that can cope with a wide variety of diet, environment, life-style, and temporary imbalance in any of these factors, but unsurprisingly it cannot cope well with permanent imbalance.

So if we want to stay healthy and (in the nicest possible way) stay away from the NHS (which is where we are expected to go if we are sick), then we need to understand how to maintain a healthy balance.

The "Fat Emperor" podcast is a vehicle for Ivor Cummins to bring "engineering problem solving rigour and the scientific method to some of the more interesting issues in the world today" many of which involve health in one form or another.

I find him informative, logical, unflappable, and reassuring in a uniquely Irish way.
