  1. Dear Dr Healy,
    Two points, the shennanegans of the pharmaceutical industry do not only apply to SSRI’S but the whole spectrum of psychiatric chemicals. As well as ECT.
    Please be more forthright.
    And thank you.

  2. Seasoned DH Followers will love this blog.

    Personally, I would love to hear the Q & A to establish how much of this content they took in and understood and to give us a measure of their reactions to it.

    This blog tells the story and gives an indication of why we are not believed – Even GSK $3B fine didn’t cut the mustard and didn’t see the earth quake…

    Zoom-bombing upsets Queens University

    According to a group of Canadian researchers, “Zoom bombing” became popular when the pandemic began.

  3. “Standardization without judgement calls gives us Big Mac hamburgers rather than really good hamburgers.”

    When I read these words immediately I thought about the state of undegraduate education in America, which is becoming increasingly McDonaldized. The prevailing ideology seems to be this is a job any dolt can do about as well as any other, provided he or she is sufficiently micromanaged and controlled by technology.

    FTR, before anyone starts kicking over straw men, I am not saying the people who work for McDonald’s are dolts — I am just saying this is how they are treated by their overlords. And I have nothing against McDonald’s — I just don’t think their business model is a good one for what I thought we were here to do, which is to turn out more competent and capable citizens.

    I have always found consolation in the knowledge that I am getting paid to do what I love. But it seems that every year I spend less and less time doing that, and more and more time ticking boxes and jumping through hoops invented by people who get paid (a lot more than I do) to come up with boxes for me to tick and hoops for me to jump through.

  4. I logged on at 11pm UK time. It is/was a great presentation. I felt for Professor Healy and YM when an absolute ‘Twat’ sort of gate crashed the event, hell bent on upsetting and maybe shocking the viewers. I would not give him the satisfaction, and am glad to see the rest of the presentation here. Mining this talk, reveals gold nuggets everywhere. All medics, Scientists, ethicists should delve into these, invaluable, at times brutal insights. I love the Loathly Lady story… In a post #Me too era.. How vital it is that all women (and Men) are believed when they tell uncomfortable truths and that men accept that by supporting those truths life will be better for all. Thank you Professor Healy for your relentless research and enduring courage. You are an inspiration to many. Like Annie, I too would be keen to see a Q & A session.

  5. To gatecrasher – I would honestly like to view the ‘gatecrashing’ to see what was bugging you to such an extent, There is limited time to discuss in Q and A’s so may I ask if you would be prepared to help those of us who support DH’s scientific work , his humanity, attitude of kindness and democracy, understand your opposition? A variety of views are published on the blogs – commentators are not simply ‘groupies’ but interested people with concerns in common . New perspectives are possible in any area of life but need to be offered respectfully even if angrily if they are to be listened to respectfully in an open minded way.

  6. “It is theft on the part of GoFundMe,” Mr. Cruz said. “Let me say, the Canadian truckers are heroes. They are patriots marching for your freedom and for my freedom.”

    Truly shocked at Mark Carney …

  7. Thank you for sharing another gifted and inspiring lecture Professor Healy. I am intrigued to await the Q and A’s response. Also to learn more about the unwelcome interruption. We need your information to be received and understood by the widest possible global audience. In the UK, it is ‘Child Mental Health Week’. As usual, conventional, drug-based psychiatry is afforded extensive media propaganda opportunities, and is never subject to being challenged regarding its appalling outcomes, especially iatrogenic ‘suicide’. A recently formed UK Suicide Prevention Charity is also receiving much media publicity here. It is heart breaking to listen to those devastated by the loss of their children and their tormented bereavement. However, when I searched their website, there was nothing found in response to typing in: ‘AKATHISIA’ – ‘SSRIs’ or ‘Antidepressant Induced Suicide’. How can suicide prevention be comprehensively addressed by such sincere and committed campaigning if these concepts remain unknown or undisclosed?

    Canadians have the right to protest, to disagree with their government, and to make their voices heard. We’ll always protect that right. But let’s be clear: They don’t have the right to blockade our economy, or our democracy, or our fellow citizens’ daily lives. It has to stop.

  9. “The Covid dashboards are a great mechanism to generate perceptions of risk and fear. The vaccines of course treat risks – not disease.”

    I have posted an analysis of US 2021 deaths ages 15-64 on my blog and have concluded that _at least_ 137,500 and maybe twice that have died from the covid vaccines in the heart disease, cancer, and stroke categories.

    An article quoting an insurance executive had the increase in deaths of working age people at 40% in 2021 over 2020. And he asserted that the increase had nothing to do with covid.

    https://www.thecentersquare.com/indiana/indiana-life-insurance-ceo-says-deaths-are-up-40-among-people-ages-18-64/article_71473b12-6b1e-11ec-8641-5b2c06725e2c.html

    That leaves covid vaccines by the process of elimination.

    • Thanks for this article, Pilot! A couple of things I noticed:

      The 40% increase in deaths among working-age people cited by Mr. Davison isn’t an increase of 2021 over 2020 – it’s an increase of 40% over “pre-pandemic levels.” That includes the whole period since March 2020, both before the vaccine rollout and after it. Total deaths had already risen 23% in that pre-rollout period (March-December 2020).

      I agree that vaccine-related deaths have likely been way under-counted. But they’re NOT the only explanation for increased deaths “other than Covid-19.” Far from it. The damage done by pandemic shutdowns, on top of the virus itself, has been huge. Deaths from diabetes, Alzheimer’s and heart disease all rose in those first ten months. Murder rates rose sharply; suicides were up as well. Overdose deaths, mostly opioids, hit a stunning 100,000 in 2020. Not to mention the deaths that always go with mass unemployment.

      People concerned about mRNA vaccine harm need to understand these numbers. Why? People’s willingness to tolerate vaccine risks will depend on how dangerous we believe the virus is – both to our community, and to us personally. Not every precaution is worth the harm it may cause, whether it’s a vaccine or a school shutdown.

      Covid-19 has killed a hell of a lot of people. But the current risk is less than in March 2020 and will vary by each person’s age, sex, health, etc. An un-vaccinated 21-year-old might be “higher risk” than his vaccinated buddies, but “lower risk” than his 60-year-old vaccinated uncle with diabetes. At the same time his risk of vaccine side effects is probably higher than his uncle’s.

      My local newscast just announced that with a possible end to school mask mandates, “some parents are jumping for joy, while others are terrified.” Neither group of parents are stupid, or evil. But it’s like we live in separate realities, fed by separate streams of propaganda. We can’t go on like this. If we want our fellow citizens to look critically at vaccines, we need to demand a sober, honest accounting of the Pandemic as a whole.

      • “The 40% increase in deaths among working-age people cited by Mr. Davison isn’t an increase of 2021 over 2020 – it’s an increase of 40% over “pre-pandemic levels.””

        Yes, that’s correct. I should have been clearer.

        Just to be clear, the numbers show that murders, suicides, and overdoses for both 2020 and 2021 are within pre-pandemic historical ranges. Still, the panicdemic and the postponement/rescheduling of “elective” procedures likely contributed somewhat to deaths due to delayed health care.

        Working age deaths were up somewhat in 2020 (+77,000), but rose _sharply_ in 2021 (+137,500)–and the 2021 numbers are still preliminary and are likely to increase further as statistics are gathered.

        There was a Nature article reviewed by Clare Craig where Craig showed that covid deaths in older men from myocarditis were around 1 per 3,000 cases and vaccine deaths in older men from myocarditis were around 1 per 5,000 vaccinations. So I would expect a significant contribution to excess mortality in working age people from chronic complications of covid as well as from vaccines.

        Looking at 2021 US working age excess mortality causes of death is a complicated business. But two things stick out–in 2021, deaths in the 85+ y.o. group were down 14% from 2020. And deaths from chronic lower respiratory disease were down 12% from 2020. We would expect deaths from other geriatric causes (heart disease, cancer, stroke) to be down similar to the decline in chronic respiratory disease if deaths in other age groups held steady. But deaths from other geriatric causes didn’t decline and the only explanation is that geriatric deaths in working age people must have increased.

        There are two explanations that I see likely–that some of the deaths were contributed by complications from covid and some by vaccines. Maybe also a small percentage by people missing some health care.

    and on wikipidia …UK found ‘insufficient evidence’ in 2019
    GSK China scandal
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The GSK China scandal was an imbroglio where the China branch of the global drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) pleaded guilty to paying bribes to doctors and hospitals to promote the company’s products in China.

    The scandal started with sex tapes of the company’s China head, Mark Reilly and his Chinese girlfriend at a Shanghai department, which were sent to several senior executives of the company. The company’s investigations into the sex tapes led to imprisonment of the paid investigator Peter Humphrey and his wife Yu Yingzeng in China, a country which has an opaque judicial system with a 99% conviction rate, on allegations that they had breached privacy law. Humphrey and his wife maintain their innocence and Humphrey claims he was tortured and denied medical treatment due to his refusal to confess to trumped up charges.

    After the trial in Changsha in September 2014, the company apologized to the Chinese people, and paid one of the biggest fines in Chinese history worth ¥3bn (£300m; €350m; $490m). 4 executives of the company, including Mark Reilly, the only foreign citizens involved, were sentenced. Reilly received a suspended sentence and was also deported from China. The UK Serious Fraud Office concluded their investigation in 2019 after finding insufficient evidence[1]one of many publications about massive scandals

    Medicago and GSK
    phot A worker inspects the Nicotiana benthamiana plants at Medicago greenhouse in Quebec City, August 13, 2014.
    Update
    Dec 7 (Reuters) – Canadian drug developer Medicago’s plant-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate, enhanced by GlaxoSmithKline’s (GSK.L) booster, was 75.3% effective against the Delta variant of the virus in a late stage study, the two companies said on Tuesday.

    They said the vaccine’s overall efficacy rate against all variants of the coronavirus was 71%, except Omicron, which was not in circulation when the study was underway.

    Last week, infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci said though the focus is on Omicron, 99.9% cases in the United States were due to the Delta variant. “Delta continues to drive cases across the country, especially in those who are unvaccinated.”

    Medicago will imminently seek regulatory approval for the world’s first plant-based COVID-19 vaccine from Health Canada as part of its rolling submission.
    The Canadian health regulator in April accepted Medicago’s application for a real-time review of the only home-grown COVID-19 vaccine to reach the most advanced level of trials.
    Medicago, which uses GSK’s adjuvant to boost the efficacy of its vaccine, started the late-stage study in March with over 24,000 participants aged 18 years or above in Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil.

    Wales to take part in UK trial for plant-derived Covid-19 vaccine

    The vaccine has already been through early phase human studies and now requires testing on a large scale and a study involving 1,500 people across the UK is starting.

    CoVLPs do not have any viral genetic material and cannot therefore cause the disease. The CoVLPs are combined with an adjuvant before the vaccine is given. An adjuvant is an ingredient that may enhance the body’s immune response to the vaccine and allow for a smaller dose of the vaccine to be given so that more doses would be available to vaccinate more people once the vaccine is approved.”
    The Medicago vaccine study will run across 14 sites in the UK in addition to multiple sites in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Latin America. The study will enrol up to 30,000 volunteers worldwide.

    Medicago and GSK announce positive Phase 3 efficacy and safety results for adjuvanted plant-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate
    For media and investors only
    Issued: London UK and Quebec City, Canada

    Primary endpoints and secondary endpoints for which data are available were met in trial dominated by COVID-19 variants
    Efficacy demonstrated against all variants seen in the study, including 75.3% efficacy against COVID-19 of any severity caused by the globally dominant Delta variant
    Vaccine candidate was well-tolerated, with no related serious adverse events reported in the vaccine group

    Final regulatory submission to be filed with Health Canada imminently

    Medicago, a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Quebec City, and GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) today announce positive efficacy and safety results from the global Phase 3 placebo-controlled efficacy study of Medicago’s plant-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate in combination with GSK’s pandemic adjuvant, conducted in over 24,000 subjects (adults 18 years and above) across six countries.

    During the study, no related serious adverse events were reported and reactogenicity was generally mild to moderate and transient; symptoms lasting on average only one to three days. To date, the Phase 3 results have confirmed the safety profile is consistent with Phase 2 results. The frequency of mild fever was low (<10%), even after the second dose. Full results of the Phase 3 study will be released in a peer-reviewed publication as soon as possible.

    Based on these results, Medicago will imminently seek regulatory approval from Health Canada as part of its rolling submission. The vaccine candidate is not yet approved by any regulatory authority.

    “This is an incredible moment for Medicago and for novel vaccine platforms. The results of our clinical trials show the power of plant-based vaccine manufacturing technology. If approved, we will be contributing to the world’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic with the world’s first plant-based vaccine for use in humans,” said Takashi Nagao, CEO and President at Medicago. “I want to thank everyone who participated in our clinical trials, our collaborators at clinical trial sites, our partners at GSK, the Government of Canada and Government of Quebec, all of our employees and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, for their commitment to advancing vaccine science when the world needs it.”

    Medicago has been developing its plant-based technology for the past 20 years, using unique technology to produce Virus-Like Particles (VLP) for its protein vaccines. VLPs are designed to mimic the native structure of viruses, allowing them to be easily recognised by the immune system. Because the VLPs lack core genetic material, they are non-infectious and unable to replicate. VLP vaccines developed by other technologies have traditionally been used worldwide for more than 30 years.

    Medicago has initiated the regulatory filing process for the adjuvanted plant-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate with the FDA (US) and the MHRA (UK). Preliminary discussion is underway with the WHO for preparation of the submission. Medicago has also initiated a Phase 1/2 trial in Japan where it plans to submit for regulatory approval in combination with the Phase 2/3 global study results next spring.

    About the Phase 2/3 study
    The Phase 2/3 study has a multi-portion design to confirm that the chosen formulation and dosing regimen of the vaccine candidate (two doses of 3.75 µg of antigen combined with GSK's pandemic adjuvant given 21 days apart) has an acceptable vaccine profile in healthy adults 18-64 years of age, elderly subjects aged 65 and over and adults with comorbidities.
    . All subjects are being followed for a period of 12 months after the last vaccination for assessment of safety and the durability of the immune responses which will be the final analysis.

    The Phase 3 portion of the trial was launched in March 2021 and was an event-driven, randomized, observer-blinded, crossover placebo-controlled design that evaluated the efficacy and safety of the vaccine candidate formulation, compared to placebo, in over 24,000 subjects across Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil.

    About Medicago

  14. Laporte in Court, arguing scientifically about covid19 vaccines.

    Gervas, John

    https://www.actasanitaria.com/opinion/el-mirador/laporte-en-corte-argumentando-cientificamente-acerca-vacunas-covid19_2001063_102.html

    The intervention of Joan R. Laporte, an expert in pharmacology, in the Congress of Deputies on the vaccination of covid19 caused a real commotion whose foundations our collaborator analyzes.

    Freedom of expression

    Profound changes for humanity have been brought about by being able to nourish itself regularly, safe access to safe drinking water (and its purification), formal education from childhood and the social structure that facilitates a certain equality, also supporting the necessary freedom of scientific, political and religious expression.

    In pericles’ classic Athens, freedom of expression was achieved with

    1/ isegoria, which gave equal right to speak to every citizen, and to be considered for the basis of their contributions, not for their value in the expression of the same and

    2/ parrhesía that gave the right even to defend ideas boldly, even if they seemed extravagant, and against the powerful, to the point of ridiculing them.

    That is, it ensured at the same time the possibility of speaking and doing so frankly.
    In the response to the covid19 pandemic we have failed with respect to such freedom of expression, tramutated for the sake of a barbaric “savior” health that entails a unique thought.

    There has been and is not isegoria; nor, parrhesía. Frankness has been ridiculed by transforming their proposals into “hoaxes” (fake news), no matter how much they are published /published in the best scientific journals in the world, and those who disagree/disagree are labeled with the stigma of mental illness, assigning them various phobias, from denialists to anti-vaccines to flat earthers, even if they were even professors at prestigious universities.

    In the response to the covid19 pandemic we have failed with respect to such freedom of expression, tramutated for the sake of a barbaric “savior” health that entails a unique thought.

    This unique thought is always justified with the opinions of experts, in whom the basis is found to justify the unjustifiable, such as the use of the mandatory muzzle outdoors and the promotion of covid19 vaccines as life-saving. With experts, politicians justify their decisions and impositions, and Medicine becomes religion and magical activity, and its proposals, talismans.

    That’s why people are still wearing the muzzle on the street, because masks have been transformed into talismans.

    With the same fervor, covid19 vaccines and re-vaccines are accepted and required, as life-saving fetishes, which will protect against evil, even irrationally.

    The Fallacy of Death Avoided by Medicine

    There are those who continue to believe scientifically that Medicine and its advances and medicines have managed to change the face of the Earth allowing the progress of Humanity.

    It is a belief like any other since Medicine provides 10% of the improvements, at most, and only with respect to health. With this belief, magical narratives are created. For example, it is claimed that scientifically speaking, vaccines and doctors save lives.

    It is a fallacy that of “death avoided”, because no one can prevent humans from ending up dead.

    Vaccines (and doctors), if anything, change causes of death and prolong lives. It’s no small thing, no.

    The arrogance of experts that muzzles freedom of expression

    We have lost freedoms producing immeasurable damage, including avoidable deaths.
    Who will take to court for conviction and reparation of damages to those guilty of action and omission (experts and politicians, scientific societies, etc.) of confinements, school closures, curfews and other paraphernalia of barbaric health?

    https://www.abc.es/sociedad/abci-confinamientos-restricciones-tenido-efecto-reduccion-mortalidad-covid-19-202202021455_noticia.html

    It is the (pseudo) experts who have been blowing against logic, with the consequent dead.

    David Sackett made it clear, when accurately criticizing preventive medicine, and therefore vaccines:

    “Preventive medicine presents the three elements of arrogance:

    1/ The first is that she is aggressively assertive, chasing people without symptoms and telling them what to do to stay healthy. Sometimes and relying on the value of the Law (vaccines, seat belts), it prohibits and prescribes patients and the general public of any age and condition.

    2/ Second, preventive medicine is presumptuous, confident that the interventions it will adopt, on average, will do more good than harm to those who agree to follow them.

    3/ Finally, preventive medicine is arrogant, lashing out at those who question the value of its recommendations” https://rafabravo.blog/2019/08/08/la-arrogancia-de-la-medicina-preventiva/

    Laporte’s concerns about adverse effects and ineffectiveness of measures against the pandemic, including covid19 vaccines, are those of the best professionals and scientists in the world

    http://www.nogracias.org/2022/02/09/transcripcion-y-video-de-la-intervencion-de-joan-ramon-laporte-en-el-congreso-de-los-diputados-relativa-a-la-gestion-de-las-vacunas-covid-y-el-plan-de-vacunacion-en-espana/

    His freedom of expression led to a real political-scientific storm, and his consequent lynching.

    Thus, they intend to transform him into an old man anchored in the old forms of pharmacovigilance, good in his time, but incoherent in the current one.

    As Sergio Minué has highlighted, this lynching is not accidental or exceptional: “Laporte is not the only example. The same lynching has suffered or suffers people like John Ioannidis, Peter Gotzche, Alyson Pollock, Carl Henegan. Anyone who dares to question “true religion.”

    And apostille: “It’s really scary post-pandemic winter.”

    There are so many experts who have become a deadly plague

     “Laporte’s intervention was respectful, clear and documented in each and every one of his statements”, very exact definition of the intervention, says Josep Casajuana.

    And he continues: “Laporte often “provokes” because what he says does not conform to “normality” but his arguments always have foundation.

    But distancing oneself from the opinion of the “experts” has an obvious risk in an increasingly polarized environment between black and white where the numerous shades of gray have disappeared.

    In 2000, David Sackett published in the British Medical Journal the article “the sins of experts and proposals for their redemption”. He affirmed that experts prevent the advancement of science because those who present proposals different from the “official” ones are ignored or repudiated by the scientific-media officialdom. What happened with Laporte is but one example (yet another) of what Sackett expressed in his article, inviting all the experts in the world to resign and devote themselves to something else (as he demonstrated by his example) to favor the advancement of science.

    Synthesis

    They pretend to make us believe that Joan Ramon Laporte “was” important in patient safety and pharmacovigilance, but that he is anchored in the “yellow card”, as if it were a defect to follow a line of work of half a century, from postal mail to the Eudravigilance database.

    Their concerns about adverse effects and lack of efficacy of pandemic measures, including covid19 vaccines, are those of the world’s best professionals and scientists, such as John Ioannidis, Peter Gotzche, Alyson Pollock, Carl Henegan and many more; from Juan Erviti to Peter Doshi, passing through Tom Jefferson and a myriad of necessary dissenters, crushed by the unique irrational thought, by the barbaric healthism that favors business and inequality.

    Expert review of suspected psychiatric and sexual side effects to isotretinoin

    Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency bulletin
    Dear Stakeholder,

    We would like to update you on our progress since the findings of the expert review by the Isotretinoin Expert Working Group (IEWG) were presented and discussed at the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) in December.

    It has been so valuable to involve patients and stakeholders throughout the review process, and we were very pleased so many of you chose to watch the open session of the CHM meeting.

    We are now discussing the CHM advice with the companies that market isotretinoin in the UK. Unfortunately, we cannot give you a definite timeframe at the moment but as soon as these discussions are complete, we will be back in touch.

    We very much want to involve patients and stakeholders in our ongoing work on isotretinoin and we will share more on how you can get involved when the recommendations are published.

    If you require further information about this review, please email MHRACustomerServices@mhra.gov.uk.

    Kind regards,

    Patient, Public and Stakeholder Engagement team

  16. If you don’t own your own body, you own nothing at all.

    The principle of bodily integrity is simply too important to sacrifice for ANY reason — certainly not for an experimental gene therapy that was approved without any RCT data showing it lowered the rate of death or serious adverse events.

    Trudeau and his billionaire paymasters and the rest of their obedient servants in government and the media have steadfastly refused to engage with us honestly on these issues.

    Instead they have offered us shame, blame, character assassination, and relentless fear-mongering.

    They have insulted our intelligence by offering us clowns, balloons, and free donuts, beer, and pot in exchange for getting the shot.

    The mainstream media (which is heavily dependent on drug company advertising) has obediently parroted the party line.

    The billionaire oligarchs who own the social media and whose fortunes have grown ever-more tumescent during the lockdowns have ruthlessly suppressed opposing viewpoints.

    People fear losing their livelihoods for speaking out.

    The truckers’ protest has been extraordinarily peaceful. The truckers themselves are losing hundreds of dollars a day while engaging in the protest.

    Trudeau refused to engage with them honestly.

    Instead he smeared them with the vilest invective.

    When that didn’t work he brought in the police to steal their fuel and firewood, in the middle of the Canadian winter.

    When that didn’t work he invoked a never-before-used act to award himself dictatorial powers.

    The medical dictatorship we screamers have been warning everyone about for two years is here.

    I want to be very clear about what we are – and are not – doing by invoking the Emergencies Act, and how taking this step will help get the situation under control. In case you missed our announcement earlier today, watch this:

    ‘ The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) urges children and adults to get the COVID-19 vaccine and booster as soon as they are eligible’

    James D. Campbell, MD, MS, FAAP

    When can children get the COVID-19 vaccine?
    . A COVID vaccine is available for children age 5 and up, and boosters are now authorized for those 12 years and older.

    Vaccines for children age 6 months and up may be authorized next.

    Clinical trials are underway for children age 6 months to under 5 years old.
    ‘Rmarkably effective and safe’ It;s not possible to know what the effects will be. just tell the truth and assist people to decide

    Research shows these new vaccines are remarkably effective and safe. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) urges children and adults to get the COVID-19 vaccine and booster as soon as they are eligible. Being vaccinated and boosted is especially important now with the rise in cases caused by the delta variant and omicron variants of the virus. More contagious strains can spread quickly and infect more children. Being fully vaccinated and boosted helps protect kids from serious disease and hospitalization from COVID.

    Meanwhile Whitty in UK disengenuously disconnects himself from statements that vaccinations should be made compulsory by mandates for NHS workers , instead saying now it is a voluntary decision for them. thousands who declined the vaccine even after his fear mongering have lost employment
