Just to clarify - I stated below that most of the MHRA’s execs came from GSK. This was probably an exaggeration, nevertheless the CEO for the last five years until September, Dr Ian Hudson, left SKB in 2001 - shortly before it was merged with GlaxoWellcome to form GSK - to become a director of the MCA as it then was. For decades people have moved in the U.K. between government and industry with virtually no questions and certainly no delays (not even the 10 months that Gerberding waited after leaving the CDC to join Merck). It remains the case that the MHRA, while notionally an agency of the British government is solely dependent on the industry for its income. If anything the government only seeks to strengthen its ties with an industry it purports to regulate.

Hudson is now senior adviser to the Gates Foundation.

This was an article on institutional conflicts - we are not talking about whether people are jolly good chaps or not, the trouble is that all this is in your face.

The delusion of politicians is that they have to break the fundamental rules of good government for reasons of trade but what this costs the nation in terms of poor regulation, over-medication and chronic ill-health probably outweighs the financial benefits many times over.

In 2005 the House of Commons Health Committee wrote an excellent report on this catastrophic state of affairs but nearly 15 years on no lessons have been learned and it all seems a hundred times worse.

Kawasaki - they just don't know! That is what they told me. I continued to vaccinate, even my other child.

With very bad outcomes that saddens my heart.

The only thing they told me at the time that parents in a survey had one thing in common, and that was they had their child around a carpet that had just been cleaned. It could be in their own home, or their grandparent's home, or a friend's home, or the church, or community center.

Even after all I went through with my son; I was lead to believe it was the immune's system strange reaction to a virus. it was only a snarling ped that just barely hinted as he laughed in my face for me not seeing the obvious. He hinted only after my daughter received her high school tetanus shot that was really a DPT vaccine.

In recent years, I was kicked off of Joe Kawasaki's website when I simply said that Kawasaki happens because of vaccines.

Oh, and on Joe's Kawasaki website; the main doctor out in California reported that Kawasakis occurs in the months in the fall and not because maybe school starts and kids gets vaccinated, Oh no, but no; its when the winds from the east blow south then west. So living out in California get ready for your children to get Kawaskis if the winds blow in from the ocean, coming from Japan or China strange like ---- ?

I never, ever imagined that if we got leaders that lied to us, they would be such idiots to lie so unsophisticated. We in the end are all idiots. Me included. Chopin for sure is included too.

John,

My point is that since post-marketing surveillance hasn't shown a link between Bexsero and Kawasaki disease what else are you concerned about? That was the only potential serious adverse event you mentioned.

Angus -"surveillance of invasive bacterial diseases and penumococcal vaccine impact in children in Nepal"

Yes - this business of using third world children in remote areas for what amounts to clinical trials is abhorrent. In most cases the parents are paid for their consent. When things go wrong (and they do), the vaccine manufacturers often point to disclaimer clauses in consent forms, regardless of whether or not those parents understood them, or were verbally warned about risks. Any compensation paid is usually derisory. Third world governments are usually compliant, but then so are governments in the developed world. This will continue as long as vaccines are always promoted as safe and effective, when they are often nothing of the kind.

In the UK us oldies are now getting a 'free' flu vaccine containing squalene, all hyped up as a 'more effective' adjuvant. This vaccine is very similar to the banned GSK Pandemrix, which caused widespread narcolepsy. I've refused it for the last 2 years, although I offered to receive the single dose mercury free version I got in 2017. There was no choice offered. My husband accepted the squalene. It made no difference to him getting the flu earlier this year.

Basically, this is nothing more than a clinical trial dressed up as a benefit.

Another picture of Pollard and his purportedly life saving qualifications as I done see any life saving going on ...

So, the UK licensing agency, the MHRA, which is advised by Prof Pollard was unable to verify any side effects - the MHRA will never have verified a single adverse vaccine event in its entire history, and nor will its precursor the MCA. No monitoring agency in the history of the universe has ever been so expert at not finding anything.

John - I expect Jeremy Hunt had to be seen to be listening to public opinion in favour of the Meningitis B jab with an election coming. The position with Matthew Hancock was very different with regard to his publicly expressed zeal for mandatory child vaccinations, following all the hype over a few hundred measles cases in England with no child deaths (No adult ones reported either as yet). This was definitely NOT welcomed following the Conservative Annual Conference 2019. (Apparently Hancock's speech was delivered at a fringe event).

The main objections to mandatory vaccinations came from the education authorities in England. Our systems are very different from those in the US and any attempt to ban children from schools or daycare due to them missing one or more vaccines, would not only cause a furore amongst parents and carers, but would cause absolute havoc with children roaming the streets.

There seems to have been a great deal of official reassurance stating persuasion preferred to coercion. I certainly hope so. In Italy, people power resulted in a change of government, but these new poiticians reneged on their promises to scrap new mandatory vaccine laws and fines.

At the time of writing this Prime Minister Boris Johnstone has still not finally confirmed his new cabinet, but I fear Hancock will remain the Health Secretary for the time being.

See the military Uniform , and this is supposed to be healthcare is it ?
Shame on them ALL ...... For they all know .

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/17/health/john-b-robbins-dead.html

Dr. John B. Robbins, a pioneer in vaccinology and one of the inventors of the first effective defense against a form of meningitis that once killed more than a thousand infants a day worldwide, died on Nov. 27 at his home in Manhattan. He was 86.

The cause was prostate cancer, his son Robert said.
By some estimates, Dr. Robbins’s vaccine against the illness, called Hib meningitis, has saved seven million lives since it was licensed in 1989.

Pediatricians who worked in the pre-vaccine days remember feeling their hearts sink when they saw Hib bacteria under a microscope in a baby’s spinal fluid. It meant that, even with antibiotics, the child was at risk of permanent brain damage, deafness or death.

Before the vaccine, Hib meningitis killed about 400,000 children a year, according to the World Health Organization.

Since then, the disease has been largely relegated to the medical history books. The vaccine is now given in more than 180 countries; in the United States there is now only about one case of Hib meningitis a year for every million children under age 5, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The chief discovery made by Dr. Robbins and his longtime collaborator, Dr. Rachel Schneerson, is also now used to strengthen vaccines against typhoid fever, whooping cough, lethal E. coli bacteria, Clostridium difficile and anthrax.
That discovery, known as conjugation, involves attaching proteins to the polysaccharides — complex sugars — on the bacterium’s outer capsule. Conjugated pairs of proteins and sugars are much more visible to infants’ immature immune systems and help them generate protective antibodies.

Two weeks before Dr. Robbins died, the first large rollout of a conjugate typhoid fever vaccine he also helped invent began, with 10 million children in Pakistan inoculated, according to Dr. Anita Zaidi, an expert on intestinal diseases at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which funded research on that vaccine.

Dr. Robbins and Dr. Schneerson also conceived of an unusual vaccine for stopping malaria outbreaks: Instead of attacking malaria parasites in a person’s blood, the vaccine would be picked up from recipients by mosquitoes who bit them. The vaccine would then attack the parasites in the mosquitoes’ midguts, making them unable to infect anyone else.

I don't see that the lobbying charities are independent either. Meningitis Research Foundation currently list GSK, Pfizer and Sanofi among its corporate sponsors.

https://www.meningitis.org/get-involved/corporate-support

and Hunt does not mention them in support of his intervention. In 2013 MRF was also funding Prof Pollard

https://web.archive.org/web/20131227082959/http://www.meningitis.org/research">http://www.meningitis.org/research">https://web.archive.org/web/20131227082959/http://www.meningitis.org/research

What, of course, is not at issue is that Meningitis B is a terrible disease, the problem is the independence of science. The problem of charities as non-independent bodies is a connected and recognised except by the BBC and other mainstream useful idiots.

Even on Bexsero's own official data you would expect it to give 3 in 1,000 infants Kawasaki Disease. I suppose that is what Johnson and Hancock would call vaccine misinformation i.e. correct information which they don't like (presumably Hunt too).
