A question many are asking is when will the coronavirus crisis come to an end? The exact question that Peter Doshi and David Robertson attempt to answer in a new feature in The BMJ. The article ends with the conclusion that it's up to us to turn off our TV’s, say no to the restrictions and mandates and take back control. Halleluja! Granted, we will need to hold our nerve though as the threats from governments increase in an effort to dial up fear levels. It's easy to be diverted by what's in front of us, rather than focusing on what we're creating and literally intending into being. When we come together and unite we are so powerful. Interesting isn't it that the field that extends out from our heart centres is usually around 2 m/6 ft - social distancing space...

Coercion

• The UK Parliament last night lockstepped with other countries by voting to introduce further mask mandates, bring in vaccine passports for large venues and endorsed the use of jab mandates for NHS workers.

• A New Zealand GP, Dr Sophie Febery, has spoken out about the transmission risk from those who are covid jabbed in front of the Invercargill City Council.

• The UK Health Secretary has branded universal jab mandates as ‘unethical’ and unworkable in a BBC Radio 4 interview saying that the decision whether or not to be jabbed should be a positive one and not coercive.

Fact checks

In an interesting turn of events, fact checkers, Full Fact, have Fact Checked a number of reporting issues in mainstream media on the incorrect use of data related to covid hospitalisations. On the 21^st October 2021 The Economist was found to be quoting incorrect data in regard to the percentage of hospitalised covid patients that were jab-free. December 6^th 2021 saw The Lorraine Show being outed for also sharing incorrect data on the percentage of jab-free versus jabbed patients in hospital, followed a week later on 13 December by Dr Ruth Hopkins who was picked up on her reporting on the number of covid hospitalisations in Wales. For once the fact checkers are actually proving to be conveying accurate information.

Child health

• US Surgeon General, Vice Admiral Vivek Murthy MD, has issued a public health advisory warning about the increased risk of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts in children and young people as a result of the coronavirus crisis. The advisory shares recommendations for improving mental health through increasing access to services to support mental health, addressing socioeconomic and environmental issues and much more
• A new study published in Circulation has found that of the 140 cases of myocarditis studied, 98% occurred following mRNA jabs. A second study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases concluded there is a significant increase in the risk of acute myo- and pericarditis in Chinese teenagers following the Pfizer mRNA jab. Of the 33 teenagers identified all of them developed myo- and/or pericarditis following mRNA jab.

Covid injections

• Most covid infections in highly ‘vaccinated’ populations (65-75%) occur in those who’ve been jabbed rather than those who are jab-free according to a new preprint study
• At least 1,000 people need to be isolated in order to prevent one transmission event of SARS-Cov-2 according to a new preprint study. The paper concludes that excluding jab-free people from public settings brings negligible benefits because they do not pose a significant risk of transmitting the virus
• Real not Rare is a new initiative raising awareness of the very real risk of vaccine injuries by sharing the stories of those harmed by covid jabs. The campaign is calling for the censorship of those who’ve been harmed to stop, large scale research to be conducted to increase understanding of the problems, all jab mandates to cease and covid jab injuries to be added to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation program
• A new film from Canada, 'I am Not Misinformation', also seeks to publicise the plight of those harmed by covid jabs. The film features a group of vaccine injured individuals all of whom say they ‘aren’t anti-vax’, they had concerns about being jabbed, but believing them to be safe went ahead and suffered adverse reactions. The film also talks to health professionals who share their experiences in dealing with patients damaged by the jabs as they try to educate people about the risks of covid jabs
• Shocking reports of harms to children, babies and newborns following administration of covid jabs are now emerging in the US. Two babies in Brazil are reported to have been hospitalised after they were accidently covid jabbed when they went for their baby jabs.

• A former UK vaccine taskforce boss, Clive Dix, writing in The Telegraph has said that covid jabs, “...were not designed to end transmission” and “...will not stop the spread of the virus in the short or medium term”, having only been designed to prevent severe illness and death. He also casts doubt on the validity of booster jabs for young, healthy people instead suggesting it’s more important to focus on dealing with the backlog of chronically sick patients.

Treatments

• In a shock revelation it has emerged that virologist, Dr Andrew Hill, changed the conclusions of a study assessing the efficacy of ivermectin in treating covid patients in order to please his funders - to the tune of $40M USD. In doing so, he admitted in a recorded call to potentially condemning around half a million covid patients to death as he declared ivermectin to be an 'ineffective treatment' for covid rather than 'overwhelmingly effective' as he had originally concluded. Dr Tess Lawrie spoke to him in an effort to change his mind, but he chose to cosy up with his funders (the Gates Foundation) rather than support a treatment that has saved many covid patients' lives. Covid patient Sun Ng is lucky to be continuing his recovery from severe covid disease after his lawyer, Kristin Erickson, overruled the hospital and procured ivermectin for him via a court order. After 3-weeks on a ventilator, he is urging health care professionals to think outside of the current care box and challenge their hospitals to allow such treatments to save severely ill patients
• An Iranian study published in Trials, has found supplementation with vitamins A, B, C, D and E reduced the inflammatory response and severity of covid illness in covid patients in critical care units

• Echinacea purpurea has been shown to reduce the risk of being hospitalised from covid-19 due to its anti-viral effects reducing viral load in infected individuals according to a new preprint study.

Censorship

• UK TV show Good Morning Britain deleted a Twitter poll asking people if they supported mandatory jabs after 89% of over 42,000 respondents said no
• Twitter has quietly updated its policies to allow it to impose sanctions on those who tweet about the ability of jabbed people to spread covid and become infected with covid
• Facebook’s lawyers have said that its ‘fact checks’ are not actually fact checks, merely ‘protected opinion’. The claim comes as part of Facebook’s defence against a defamation claim being made by journalist and author John Stossel who was ‘fact checked’ by the social media platform and hit with a warning label.

Natural immunity

Getting sick with covid confers greater overall protection that lasts longer than that provided by covid jabs, which has been shown to wane quickly
