Last week in Washington a meeting was convened to look at Vaccine Harms – the harms suffered post-vaccine by some pro-vaccine people, some so much pro that they enrolled for vaccine clinical trials. See Mandated Harms.
The meeting heard testimony from ten people, eight of whom I had interviewed, all of whom in my opinion had the injuries they claimed and for each a strong case can be made that the vaccine had caused the problem – in most cases this was the Pfizer vaccine.
Brianne Dressen was an important driving force behind the meeting. Her testimony features Here and Here.
The full meeting can be seen on the Highwire site. A compilation of testimonies can be seen on the RealnotRare site.
Censorship or Misinformation?
Over the last year, the injured have found each other – mostly on Facebook platforms to begin with. There have been several forums with several thousand people supporting each other in efforts to establish what has happened to them and what might be done to put things right.
After Senator Johnson held a press conference in June about these injuries, the Facebook pages were torn apart and closed down.
The same has happened after the recent Washington meeting. But this time the injured were prepared and saved evidence for what has been happening a representative amount of which is now hosted on a non-Facebook site – We Want to be Heard.
Faced with this, the injured knowing their injuries to be real, not misinformation, see themselves as being censored, cancelled, and they all but blame Mark Zuckerberg personally.
They largely miss the role of Albert Bourla rather than Mark in the censorship, even though Bri’s testimony and Stephanie DeGaray’s testimony at the recent meeting points the finger at Albert.
Half the world hates Facebook at the moment for its Misinformation while the other half hates it for Censorship. Because of its reliance on algorithms, Facebook is caught in the middle, unable to act with discretion – as a real newspaper editor or proprietor would.
A real live person can act with discretion and offer ‘a these are my views’ response, if you don’t like them we are argue about it or you can get your news from another source. Facebook can’t do this because it doesn’t have views – it has algorithms.
In this case, Facebook’s in-house algorithms are being trumped by Albert’s algorithms as outlined in One Algorithm to Rule Us All – see Mandated Harms for text.
Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are algorithmic. Like Rating Scales, however, they are now seen as more objective than individual discretion and the evidence that comes from them supposedly beats the lived experience of both patients and doctors.
If you think there is some problem that happens on these vaccines that was not there to a statistically significant extent – you’re dead right there is one and its in your head. This happens even if the trial was done by the Angel Gabriel rather than Albert Bourla. It is because RCTs are an act of hypnosis that get people to focus on one thing to the point where they can miss things happening more often and right in front of their nose.
See Clinical Trials are not Safe.
Prioritizing RCT algorithms over lived experience and discretion is a descent from the first or second level of Hell we were already in to a Third Level.
When it comes to trials done by that sweet looking Albert, you have extra layers of hiding – see People Count even in Trials – that bring us down to a Fourth Level of Hell.
The recent Thacker article about Pfizer’s vaccine trials and a contract research company in Texas called Ventavia fits into these extra layers of hiding that all doctors and FDA should know about as a lot of these details have been on record now for nearly two decades.
Companies like Ventavia provide services for pharma like making Brianne Dressens disappear so they don’t show up inconveniently in the publication of Astra-Zeneca’s trial in the New England Journal of Medicine by the marvellously named Dr Falsey – see slide.
We have now descended to a Fifth Level of Hell with the emergence of Virtual Trials and companies like Science37 outlined three weeks ago by Johanna Ryan, who as it turns out within a year or so of launching have established links with companies like Ventavia.
Key elements of virtual trials have been happening in Albert’s and other vaccine trials, as Brianne and Stephanie DeGaray’s testimonies at the Mandated Harms meeting brought out – participants in these trials had apps on which to report from the comfort of their home.
This might sound like a luxurious way to participate in a trial but the questions on the apps are pre-populated so you can only tell the company what it wants to hear – that is did you have a sore arm or a fever but not have you had a clot or cardiac event or paralysis of your limbs. See Slide:
This led as a result to another advertisement in the NEJM – it would be a breach of consumer protection regulations to call these scientific articles – this time by a Dr Franck – at least his name sounds like this – what’s with all the Fs – who is a doctor in the same hospital in which Maddie DeGaray spent months, being tube fed and in a wheel chair. The article denied that there were any vaccine related serious adverse events – a serious adverse event is one that leads to a person ending up in hospital.
Just for the record, well over a decade ago the New England Journal of Medicine made it clear that they do not check on the integrity of clinical trial data and their then editor. Jeff Drazen, later branded those of us seeking to check on the integrity of the Study 329 data as Research Parasites.
Big Bird or Rosita
The tweet symbol at the bottom of the parasite image provides the perfect segue into Sesame Street.
Kim Witczak, a member of RxISK almost from its day of inception, was another key figure behind the recent Washington meeting.
Kim like many others has been disturbed by the notices aimed at children from Sesame Street showing Rosita and Big Bird getting vaccinated – Rosita, Big Bird.
She had the temerity faced with this to tweet
Following which Twitter had a surprise in store for her:
Okay, strictly speaking Rosita was not appearing in a Direct to Consumer Advert – it was a public health measure to help get kids onside.
But it’s getting very difficult now for any of us to distinguish between public health announcements and pharmaceutical company adverts.
This is not a once off – see comments on last week’s post Mandated Harms where Mary Hennessey tried a little experiment with Facebook.
Albert, Mark or Jeff
Dave Eggers published a widely read book about the impact of the internet on our lives – The Circle – in 2013. He has now followed it up with The Every, which goes beyond looking at the impact of the web on all our lives and stakes out the idea that pretty soon one company will run Everything.
Dave is betting on Jeff Bezos and as part of his resistance to this will not let hardback copies of his book be sold on Amazon. JB also runs The Washington Post, where a reviewer called Ron Charles has just reviewed The Every. Ron thinks Dave’s book is right on pretty much every detail – but a bit too long and slightly preachy.
He thinks you’d be a lot better off reading Lauren Oyler’s Fake Accounts or Patricia Lockwood’s No One is Talking about This.
Having read none of them, I’m not in a position to comment. In true Facebook style though I’m going to analyze a digital exhaust. Each of us has a digital exhaust, our Personally Identifiable Information – PII. These three publications and others point to an NPII (non-person) or perhaps even SII – Satanically Identifiable Information if you take Satan as the essence of impersonality or absence of good – where the good is linked to personhood.
See Religion and Technology or better again ‘Tis the Season to Rebel which anticipates The Every.
So will it be Jeff or Mark who is hoping to build an alternate universe we can all escape to – in which we can perhaps live forever? Or will it be Albert?
Albert has the key algorithm – one that is being applied to all domains of life these days from economics to the social sciences in addition to medicine. Now that we have the algorithm, we can regulate economics, education and everything else – only letting evidence-based anything come into being. And of course we now know how to ensure RCTs always come up with the right answer.
Albert also supplies those little objects of desire that control fear and keep us alive – that make the impossible possible. There is no sign of Albert being able to correct any of the damage his drugs or vaccines cause but why would he need to be able to do that when he can use the algorithm to airbrush harms out of existence?
What about Joe in all this or Donald if he makes a comeback? Well their role is already simply one of front of house functionary, covering the outsourcing of actual government to businesses – with governors, like Greg in Texas, recruiting vigilantes to do their business in the case of abortion, and Joe in DC recruiting universities and hospitals and factories to do Albert’s business.
There is every chance that Patricia or Lauren’s books are more incisive than Dave’s and every chance David is wrong to place his bets on Jeff, but Dave has bravely stuck his neck out on one thing – that our problems lie more with the Left than the Right. The Left are more in thrall to technocracy, to the algorithm, to risk management, to controlling the risks that we pose them, than the risk taking Right.
Articles abound on the theme of Capitalism is a Disease. Faced with industry, pollution, poor wages, and unhealthy working conditions in the cause of Wealth creation, Health became a trump card for the Left – and ever since parties on the Left have campaigned on Health.
But now neoliberalism, aka neomedicalism, see The Deep NeoLiberal State, has done an end run around the Left putting Albert in pole position to pip Jeff or Mark in the final strait.
It has also done an end run around Green parties which can spot the hazards of techniques in degrading the wider environment but have a blind spot for the role of techniques in dehumanising us. They drag the Trojan Horse into the city when Albert comes bearing gifts.
We need to move beyond Left and Right and Green.
Escape from the Death Star?
There is a fundamental opposition between algorithms and healing, between the impersonal and personal.
The development of techniques underpins a material progress. This kind of progress can proceed hand in hand with ever greater barbarism. The medical techniques that so entrance us have steadily impoverished medical care. Until we make progress in other domains that involve co-operation, and we learn how to use techniques to help an Us live the lives we want to live rather than having them nudge Us toward living the life Albert or Mark of Jeff want us to live, we will be increasingly at risk of extinction.
When we get to the point where satire and humor have become close to impossible – see Je Suis Charlie – we are getting closer and closer to a Tyranny Foretold.
They Used to Call it Medicine is the third in the series of lectures on clinical trials, of which the first and second are linked in above. This tries to lay out what needs to happen. We need to re-embrace discretion without which medicine as we know it is doomed – and whisper it quietly doctors will be out of business.
In the health domain, We have the power to unseat Albert – if We stick together as Athenian women did at the urging of Lysistrata. This is obvious to many of us – particularly women – as Laurie Oakley’s Prescribed Harms post brings out and Mary Hennessey’s comment on Mandated Harms, and Brianne Dressen has shown mobilizing people to grapple with vaccine harms.
Those who have been harmed by drugs or vaccines have been harmed by the same sequestration of clinical trial data and ghostwriting of academic articles that happens with both drugs and vaccines and is getting steadily worse.
There is no ethical, moral, legal or scientific basis for letting this continue.
Coda
This image arrived after the post went up:
Facebook’s Community Standards seems to mean that someone complained. The same has happened on DH before when someone complained about an image in a certain context – the image and a similar context (Albert has been effectively lynching people with his drugs) has been repeated since without anyone complaining.
So introducing a rule for the one sensitive member of the public tells a different story about what these algorithms are all about
Johanna says
Wow. A few short weeks ago, I really wondered if I’d gone overboard with that blog on the new Virtual Trials trend. I speculated that virtual trial technology might someday make it “close to impossible to report the unexpected. All you will be able to do is answer the questions ‘asked’ by the online platform.”
Reading about Brianne and Maddy’s experiences as trial volunteers, it’s clear that “someday” has arrived. You think you’re predicting the future, and it turns out you are SO last year …

C. whereas the EMA states that around 5 000 people have died in the EU as a result of taking the COVID-19 vaccines:
– 4 198 due to the Pfizer vaccine[2],
– 1 053 due to the AstraZeneca vaccine,
– 392 due to the Moderna vaccine,

Steve Bannon should never enter any article, other than news reports condemning him on factual jurisprudence issues. He is pariah to our existence.

I have no reason, based on factual events, including indictment for Contempt of Congressional subpoena regarding 6 January from the Committee on that issue. It is important for any author consider the impact of mentioning the unmentionable.
susanne says
The UK is no longer in the EU. It will be ‘interesting’ to see how countries try to fiddle the numbers of vaccine injured and spin out the payments if a similar compensation scheme is set up here in UK. The way people harmed by contaminated blood were and still are treated is one massive scandal dragged out until many claimants have died.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/medical-negligence-and-personal-injury-blog/haemophilia-and-hepatitis-compensation
https://www.tht.org.uk/news/contaminated-blood-scandal-government-announces-independent-review-compensation
England has decided to make it mandatory for medical health workers to have an unwanted vaccine. Approx 100,000 are said to have refused the pressure so far. The end time for take up is April 2022 cynically making sure those who refuse presently will probably carry on working during winter. But they will have chance to look around for another job,.maybe in Wales or Scotland….An ex BMA spokesperson still thinks after all this time the way to go is ‘nudging’ and persuasion. They don’t get it – people wont as they see it risk their heath for a hamburgher as already tried or cash payments. I wouldn’t risk mine for compensation either. Many have looked into things and have the information they want to make a decision yet the disgraced and corrupt Matt Hancock is back on the job with his ‘get your jab’ Maybe some of his mates need a lucractive job ,a consultancy or two.
Wales and Scotland say they will not be making it mandatory. Maybe there will be an exodus of health workers from England next year.
mary H says
I wouldn’t hold your breath for too long as far as Wales is concerned, Susanne – they’re already talking about extending the Covid pass to include cinemas, theatres etc. If that fails, what will be their next step? Maybe they won’t go directly for the NHS but who knows? The numbers are not easing are they? Why not hold fast at the present level of mandates for another few weeks and insist on masks wherever possible. Even ask the ‘exempt’ to stay indoors whenever possible – to me, that is fairer than forcing people out of jobs because they “won’t do as they are told”. High time for a few more whistleblowers explaining why they oppose such moves!
susanne says
Like you I never hold my breath as far as the Senedd members are concerned Mary! I have known a few politicians personally but it’s too difficult to have a true friendship with a politician as loyalties conflict when a few who know stuff they should speak out about – keep quiet , for most party loyalty trumps all .Thanks for pointing out that further action has been hinted at – I haven’t even been to the cinema or a concert again yet! My hope is with you – people shouldn’t be harrassed any more by threatening jobs – the NHS in Wales is on it’s knees ,is already losing workers, wouldn’t it be a shabby way to treat those who have worked and put themselves at risk all through the pandemic? …but everyone must take some responsibility I agree with you there.. Masks are horrible, social distancing is anti social but it’s not a great sacrifice to keep going for longer as you suggest. you’d think More mandates would equal more resistance !! but not much action in Wales..British Asian cricketers are blowing the whistle now someone made the first move. Whistleblowing is a horrible experience but the culture to some extent has changed since ‘me too’ and ‘black lives matter I think. I hope it sticks though. ‘ Maybe more will whistle when they decide to leave the NHS, an organisation which treats them so disrespectfully to say the least . In Scandinavia front line workers are given compassionate leave to recover from the stress during Covid .Crazy how we are being forced towards a kind of society we castigate in other parts of the world?!

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
BIG BROTHER WATCH LAUNCHES LEGAL CHALLENGE AGAINST WELSH COVID PASS SCHEME
Big Brother Watch just started a legal challenge against mandatory Covid passes in Wales.
We strongly believe these authoritarian, invasive and unevidenced internal health passports need to be scrapped, now.
This is the first human rights legal challenge in the UK against Covid passes – and we’re only able to start this thanks to your incredible support.
We always warned that Covid IDs would be the beginning of expansive health ID checks – not the end.
And just moments ago, the Welsh government extended Covid pass checks beyond nightclubs and sporting events to now include cinemas and theatres.
Make no mistake. This is safety theatre that does nothing for public health but attacks medical privacy and puts up needless barriers to social inclusion.
There are far more proportionate, effective and inclusive measures to keep people safe and get the country back to normal than excluding healthy people without the right health papers from society. But we will never get back to anything like normal with health ID checks that will inevitably continue to expand.
A breach of privacy
Our legal letter to the Welsh government today argues that their Covid pass scheme breaches the right to privacy, protected by the Human Rights Act. You can read it here.
No evidence
No evidence has been provided that the mandatory use of Covid passes will benefit the public health.
Covid IDs don’t tell you that a person doesn’t have Covid or can’t spread Covid, but do make society less free and less accessible for people.
In fact, advice from SAGE, the Welsh Technical Advisory Cell, and the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee in Westminster have warned that Covid passes could be ineffective, raise serious ethical issues, risk public health harms, and the latter even concluded that there is “no justification for them in the science and none in logic”.
Support the challenge
Our national campaign against mandatory Covid passes across the UK is backed by 80+ MPs, 11 rights groups, and thousands of you who have collectively raised over £170,000 via Crowdfunder to support the campaign.
Now that we have escalated our legal action, we face significant cost risks.
And meanwhile, we need to keep the pressure on in Scotland and England and Northern Ireland where Covid passes are being threatened for winter.
SUPPORT THE CHALLENGE
Please spread the word far and wide. We’re only as strong as the support we have.
Thank you for standing with us at this critical time.

Over-65s could be banned from public spaces unless they have Covid booster, suggests Sajid Javid
The Health Secretary said the UK Government was not looking at the idea “yet” but pointedly declined to rule out it ever being adopted
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/11/10/over-65s-could-banned-public-spaces-unless-have-covid-booster/
By Ben Riley-Smith, POLITICAL EDITOR10 November 2021 • 11:26am
Sajid Javid has said he cannot rule out the possibility that people aged over-65 without a Covid booster jab could one day be barred from getting on trains or entering restaurants.
The Health Secretary made the comment during an interview on Sky News on Wednesday morning when asked to react to the policy being introduced in France.
Mr Javid said the UK Government was not looking at the idea “yet” but pointedly declined to rule out it ever being adopted when pushed further for clarification.
A Downing Street source later said that the policy was not being actively pursued, while noting that the uncertainty of the pandemic means few potential measures can be ruled out.
The comments come amid a tussle between UK government ministers and Tory backbenchers about the possibility of bringing in so-called Covid passports.
Boris Johnson has announced plans for only people who have been twice jabbed to be allowed to enter large crowd venues, but they are being held in reserve in case the pandemic deteriorates.
During an interview on Sky News with presenter Kay Burley, Mr Javid was asked about France’s new Covid booster policy.
Ms Burley asked: “I’m reading in a newspaper this morning that over-65s in France will not be allowed access to restaurants, on trains, etc, unless they’ve had their booster. Is that something that you might look at?”
Mr Javid responded: “We’re not looking at that yet. We are very focused on our booster program as you would imagine. Over 10.6 million boosters I think throughout the UK so far already, a record number of bookings, many people coming forward.
“I think in due course we will have to look at what constitutes vaccination. But at this point, the most important thing is that anyone that’s eligible gets out there and gets their booster.”
Seeking clarity, Ms Burley then asked: “Okay, you said ‘yet’. So potentially in the future?”
Mr Javid said in reply: “I can’t rule that out. And I think that we know now that the vaccines do wane and it is important that those vaccines, where it’s necessary, that those people get a top up and that’s what the booster program is about. But I think it’s something that we have to keep under review.”
Booster jabs are a third Covid vaccine dose being offered to those aged over 50 or in other vulnerable groups in the UK.
They give a top-up in immunity and are being rolled out after scientists said that immunity to Covid from vaccines tends to wane quicker in older people.
There has been concern in recent weeks that not enough people who are eligible are coming forward to claim their booster jab, with uptake slower than doses one and two of the jab.
People have to wait six months from their second dose before being allowed to take their booster jab, though the Government has tweaked rules to make this easier in recent months.
Those eligible can now book a booster jab five months after their second dose, so they can take it as soon as they reach six months.
Some healthcare workers on the ground also have been given flexibility to administer booster doses a little before six months if, for example, they are visiting a care home.

The Scottish and Welsh Governments have said they currently have ‘no plans’ to introduce mandatory Covid and flu vaccinations for healthcare staff.
However, the Northern Ireland health minister has announced that a public consultation will be launched on making the jabs compulsory for ‘new recruits’.
There are now admissions in public rather than behind closed doors by UK health minister that plans have been discussed to ban people over 65 yrs old from trains and restauraunts if not vaccinated. The sort of nasty garbage they are coming out with is sickening

ANON says
Sadly, if you don’t get the jab, you will have many of your civil liberties taken away from you.
Right now, although it is breaking my heart, I am unable to visit my loved one in residential care because I refuse to have the fluvax and the covid-19 vaccine.
The policies are not uniting families, They are dividing families and making the unvaccinated seem selfish or negligent for not having the vaccine.
If this vaccine is so beneficial, I want a legal document written up by any lawyer advising me that if anything unfortunate happens to my compromised health, all concerned stakeholders are held accountable. I risked my good health once, all in the name of science and I am not putting my compromised health through any further risks.
Through no fault of my own, I had a severe adverse drug reaction to many prescribed medications, many years ago and it was never acknowledged. No one took accountability or responsibility for what happened to me.
In December, 2021 they are going to mandate that everyone receive the Covid-19 vaccine so that they can visit their loved ones in residential care.
I have already and am still suffering in the name of science.
If people want to judge and discriminate against me, I hope one day I have the legal system back me up for all the anxiety, stress and depression that many concerned are causing to my loved ones and I. Sadly, I did not have a say, when I got harmed from many medicines, that were prescribed to me, that nearly cost me my life.
Today, I have choices however, if I do not have the vaccine, I am going to be judged, discriminated against and humiliated. It comes with a heavy price tag.
The sad reality is:
– Defending my bodily integrity
– Not have informed consent
– To have a vaccine without knowing the risks
– Subjecting my compromised health to a medical treatment I know nothing about, seems too dangerous to me.
These draconian/totalitarian policies have gone beyond the pale.
Instead of using arms to destroy/kill people, BIG PHARMA is using vaccines to destroy good health and lives.
To think that many are having the placebo Covid-19 jab without being vaccinated, seems totally absurd to me.
If this disease is a real worry, why are many having the Covid-19 placebo jab and walking around unvaccinated, posing a threat to many of the vulnerable in our society? It just does not make any sense to me!
Leaders, BIG PHARMA and many stakeholders collaborating with these asinine polices, be careful where you are going with all this because people world-wide are starting to see this whole thing for what it is! Totalitarianism gone MAD and TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL!
What is this leading up to?

Re: Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial Paul D Thacker. 375:doi 10.1136/bmj.n2635
Dear Editor,
Dear Mr.Thacker,
A few days ago I made a post on my Facebook profile and quoted and linked your article.
Today I was notified by Facebook that the post had received a warning flag as “independent fact checkers” had found major faults and lack of evidence in the BMJ article.
Here is the “fact check”:
https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2021/11/fact-check-british-medical-jo…
I looked into it and my impression is that the counter arguments are very superficial: it was to be expected that Pfizer denies the issues uncovered by the report. That’s the first reaction of such players in any case of fraud, misbehavior or similar accusations.
I just wanted you to know about the warning label because it is very likely that this will have happened in other cases as well where people are spreading your report. Maybe you have the chance to contact Facebook about it or cover the issue in a follow-up report.
Thanks for your work and all the best!

ICYMI – Latest twists in the BMJ #Pfizer trial saga: – Fact checking outfit linked to Facebook deems story “not true” – BMJ editor calls that “nonsense” – Pfizer states that “Actions were taken to correct and remediate where necessary”
Scroll down here:
https://www.transparimed.org/single-post/pfizergate
BMJ editor Kamran Abbasi commented on Twitter that:
“This is nonsense. The investigation was fully fact checked and legally checked. It’s no surprise that Pfizer and FDA are saying there is nothing to see here. There is and trial participants and the public deserve better”
Lead Stories’ reporting contains the following new statement from Pfizer:
“Pfizer received communication from an anonymous complainant in September 2020 relating to a single clinical investigator site in Texas, USA. We conducted a thorough investigation into the issues raised in accordance with Pfizer’s quality management process related to clinical research. Actions were taken to correct and remediate where necessary. Pfizer’s investigation did not identify any issues or concerns that would invalidate the data or jeopardize the integrity of the study. The company proactively notified the US Food and Drug Administration of the matter and informed the Institutional Review Board for the study.”

Goodness knows how the film makers got away with it -This amazing documentary was shown on ITV last night. (Think it will be on playback but good videos included in this article. Russia (but not only) is infamous for incarcerating dissidents in psychiatric ‘hospitals’. Now they are using legal powers to arrest and shut them up in ‘covid hospitals’ Hope Javid’s not getting any ideas.

Last night, I saw the latest commercial by Chief Health Public Minister, promoting the Covid-19 vaccine. The minister, was informing the public it is SAFE and EFFECTIVE. I am trying to find this commercial. I am very concerned that the minister is misleading the public about Covid-19 vaccines, especially in regards to many people with compromised heath conditions. It’s not a one -size- fits- all equation. If it is so safe, why are they ensuring that they are not liable for any side effects, serious adverse reactions or deaths. We know that every human being reacts differently and we do not know everything about the long term side effects?

Corruption in clinical trials is an old issue due to Big Pharma
https://www.planet-today.com/2021/11/whistleblower-pfizer-vaccine-trial-data.html
During a different interview, Malhotra called the BMJ’s report “absolutely shocking.”
“This should be major international news,” he said. “That Pfizer trial, that pivotal trial because of that data, millions and millions of people have taken the vaccine.”
Malhotra himself said that Pfizer’s phase-three clinical trial data convinced him to receive both doses of the vaccine “very early on” despite the fact he was not high risk, to protect his parents from getting COVID-19.
“What’s now very clear is that there’s no significant reduction in transmission from taking the vaccine,” he said.
Malhotra pointed out that until effective intervention or sanctions are placed upon the largest players in the pharmaceutical industry, the publication of corrupted trial data by Big Pharma will most likely continue.
He cited the example of GlaxoSmithKline, a British Big Pharma company that was fined $3 billion in 2012. “They made $25 billion in profit during the period covered by the settlement,” he said. “Nobody was fired, nobody was jailed. So this is business as usual for many of these companies.”

https://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/21/21-60845-CV0.pdf
Petition for Review of Occupational Safety and Health Administration Emergency Temporary Standard
Some quotes
“The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
“reasonably determined” in June 2020 that an emergency temporary
standard (ETS) was “not necessary” to “protect working people from
occupational exposure to infectious disease, including COVID-19.”
“cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate,”
“But the Mandate at issue here is anything but a “delicate[] exercise[]”
of this “extraordinary power.” Cf. Pub. Citizen, 702 F.2d at 1155. Quite the
opposite, rather than a delicately handled scalpel, the Mandate is a one-size-
fits-all sledgehammer that makes hardly any attempt to account for
differences in workplaces (and workers) that have more than a little bearing
on workers’ varying degrees of susceptibility to the supposedly “grave
danger” the Mandate purports to address.”
“The Agency has thus conceded in the past that “[t]he OSH Act does not
authorize OSHA to issue sweeping health standards to address entire classes of known and
unknown infectious diseases on an emergency basis without notice and comment.”
“Thus, as § 655(c)(1) plainly provides, to be lawfully enacted, an ETS
must: (1) address “substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically
harmful”—or “new hazards”—in the workplace; (2) show that workers are
exposed to such “substances,” “agents,” or “new hazards” in the
workplace; (3) show that said exposure places workers in “grave danger”;
and (4) be “necessary” to alleviate employees’ exposure to gravely
dangerous hazards in the workplace. As we have noted in the past, the
precision of this standard makes it a difficult one to meet. See Fla. Peach
Growers, 489 F.2d at 130 (observing that OSHA’s ETS authority “requires
determination of danger from exposure to harmful substances, not just a
danger of exposure; and, not exposure to just a danger, but to a grave danger;
and, not the necessity of just a temporary standard, but that an emergency
[temporary] standard is necessary”).15”

From Christine Anderson MdEP
“Dear fellow citizens,
without giving any big notice, EU Parliament President David Sassoli has restricted the access to the EU Parliament a few days ago. Without the “European Digital COVID Certificate” (EDCC), from now on, Members of EU-Parliament (MEPs) and all staff members will be denied access to the Parliament, including the offices.
This is an unprecedented attempt for Western democracies to discriminate and harass elected representatives.
Regardless of whether you have a yellow WHO vaccination certificate or a national PCR test, anyone without the “European Digital COVID Certificate” (EDCC) is turned away at the entrance. There is a special test center in front of the parliament building, but it takes 24 hours to get the result from there. During the waiting time, we are thus forbidden to do our work in the parliament. This state of affairs is intolerable and deeply contemptuous of democracy, especially since a valid test becomes invalid again after another 24 hours.
In the following video, you can see what I said to President Sassoli in the plenary hall quite directly on the head”:

“A little-noticed interview from last week with a U.K. think tank saw Microsoft founder Bill Gates make some incredible statements about his most prized “solution” to the pandemic.
“We didn’t have vaccines that block transmission,” said Gates, contradicting previous interviews in which he claimed the shots significantly block transmission.
“We got vaccines that help you with your health, but they only slightly reduce the transmission,” he added.
[The vast majority of the interview involves Gates demanding totalitarian solutions to bad weather, which he refers to as climate change. The part about the COVID shots comes at minute 27.]
Gates is correct about the fact that the shots aren’t blocking transmission. With record COVID numbers coming out of Europe, it’s become obvious that the mRNA shots are doing little, if nothing at all, to stop transmission. Moreover, the impact these shots have in preventing a positive COVID test appear to expire after 6-9 months.
Gates wasn’t done.
He added a pretty shocking statement to top it off:
“We need a new way of doing the vaccines.”
Just like that, Gates appears to be wiping his hands clean of his involvement in the worldwide mRNA experiment.”

Re: Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial Paul D Thacker. 375:doi 10.1136/bmj.n2635
Dear Editor
….rr in thebmj 16 nov Since 1989, the research around mRNA vaccinations and treatments had not achieved longstanding approvals due to severe complications. Use of mRNA as delivery of treatment has been relegated to the likes of terminally ill patients. The Dengue-vaccine disaster in the Philippines is a clear example of what happens when you rush a vaccine to market. Pfizer’s failure to adhere to clinical trial protocols (via a subcontractor or not), reveals that patients don’t matter, only money does.
Furthermore, to completely ignore the basic tenets of virology and immunology as I was taught in medical school, is that your primary exposure to a pathogen is the permanent pattern by which your body responds in the future. Thomas Francis in 1960 coined the phrase “original antigenic sin”. Natural infection induces all portions of the immune response, not just a single antigen – like a spike protein.
I, too, posted the BMJ article to Facebook and was cautioned that it was fraudulent information. I did it anyway. Thank you for publicizing Pfizer’s failure to maintain proper standards of research.

Researchers call this datapoint “all-cause mortality.” Pfizer barely mentioned it, stuffing the details of the deaths in an appendix to the report.
And buried on page 23 of the report is this stunning sentence:
From Dose 1 through the March 13, 2021 data cutoff date, there were a total of 38 deaths, 21 in the COMIRNATY [vaccine] group and 17 in the placebo group.

At first we have to inform our patients that BTP vaccine might not fulfill all claims of safety and effectiveness (as we are beginning to experience). If we do not highlight these concerns it will make us medico-legally vulnerable.
Secondly we should seriously consider the way major trials are conducted and published. Data integrity will increase when each study center has to disclose its results, for example, as a supplementary appendix of the published article. In a digital age this information is no publishing challenge.

FDA Asks Court for 55 Years to Fully Release Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Data
November 18, 2021
https://ntdca.com/fda-asks-court-for-55-years-to-fully-release-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-data/
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asked a federal judge on Nov. 15 to give it until the year 2076 to fully release the documents in its possession tied to the approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
The FDA’s request was made in a filing as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit by a medical transparency group. The government told the court it has 329,000 pages of documents responsive to the FOIA request and proposed releasing 500 pages per month to allow for redactions of exempt material. At that rate, the FDA would fully release the records in question in just under 55 years.
The plaintiff, Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT), is a group of doctors and scientists, including Harvey Risch, a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health.
The group filed the lawsuit (pdf) after the FDA denied their request to expedite the release of the records. The plaintiff and the defendant, unable to reach an agreement on a disclosure schedule, are seeking a hearing to argue their cases before the judge, who may eventually make a decision in that regard.
“The FDA’s promise of transparency is, to put it mildly, a pile of illusions,” Aaron Siri, whose firm is representing PHMPT in the lawsuit, wrote in a blog post on Nov. 17.
“It took the FDA precisely 108 days from when Pfizer started producing the records for licensure to when the FDA licensed the Pfizer vaccine,” Siri continued. “Taking the FDA at its word, it conducted an intense, robust, thorough, and complete review and analysis of those documents in order to assure that the Pfizer vaccine was safe and effective for licensure. While it can conduct that intense review of Pfizer’s documents in 108 days, it now asks for over 20,000 days to make these documents available to the public.”
The FDA did not respond to a request for comment.
The FDA licensed the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine under the Comirnaty label on Aug. 23, 2021, less than four months after Pfizer began submitting documents for full approval of the drug. The FDA approval of the license in late August led to an avalanche of vaccine mandates in the private and public sectors.
COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
One of the companies involved in the trials of the Pfizer vaccine earlier this month said it was investigating alleged problems brought to light by a whistleblower who told the British Medical Journal (BMJ) that the trial was riddled with issues, including the falsification of data.
The whistleblower, Brook Jackson, alerted the FDA and was fired within hours. Jackson was working for Ventavia Research Group, which operated several of the Pfizer trial sites in the fall of 2020
According to BMJ, one of the oldest medical journals in the world, the FDA did not inspect Ventavia’s trial sites, despite being alerted about the issues.
The FDA told The Epoch Times in an email earlier this month that while it can’t comment on the Ventavia matter, it “has full confidence in the data that were used to support the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine authorization and the Comirnaty approval.”
As of Nov.14, more than 256 million doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in the United States.
The FDA promised “full transparency” due to “tremendous public interest” in a drug that it approved after studying the data for just 108 days.
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/317161
They added that, “To require less is to render FOIA meaningless, the FDA’s promise of transparency a lie, and to send a signal to every American that while the federal executive branch is shielding Pfizer from any liability for injuries from its product and requiring employers, schools, hospitals and the military to expel those that don’t receive this product, it is protecting the very documents Pfizer provided to our taxpayer-funded health agency to obtain licensure to be able to sell this product.”
In its response, the FDA wrote that:
“FDA proposes to process and produce the non-exempt portions of responsive records at a rate of 500 pages per month,” at which rate the entire body of data it intends to release (which is only the non-exempt portions) will not be released before the year 2076.

Hold Our Noses Pigs Troughing smell better than this lot
Covid-19: Ten Conservative MPs and peers referred companies to “VIP lane” that won £1.6bn of PPE contracts
BMJ 2021; 375 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.n2825 (Published 17 November 2021)
Read our latest coverage of the coronavirus pandemic
Ten Conservative MPs and peers referred companies through the government’s “VIP lane” for personal protective equipment (PPE) contracts, a leaked document has revealed.1
The document, first seen by the Politico website,2 details 47 companies referred to the government’s high priority list for contracts to supply PPE during the covid-19 pandemic. There were £1.6bn worth of contracts awarded as a result of referrals from Conservative politicians. No other political party successfully referred companies through this fast tracked route.
A report by the National Audit Office last year found that firms referred through the VIP lane had a 10 times greater success rate for securing contracts than companies whose bids were processed through normal channels.3
On 18 October the UK’s data privacy watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office, ordered the government to reveal the names of the companies placed in the VIP lane within 35 calendar days.45 The ruling came after a complaint from the non-profit campaign group the Good Law Project that the Department of Health and Social Care for England had failed to comply with a request to disclose the names of the companies that received favourable treatment during the government’s procurement of PPE.
Michael Gove referred Mellor Designs, the firm of Conservative donor David Mellor to the VIP lane. The company was awarded six PPE contracts worth £16.4m. When the contracts were awarded Gove was minister at the Cabinet Office which is responsible for government procurement, and in charge of the office of the chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster. Mellor donated money both to the Conservative party and to support Gove’s party leadership bid in 2016.
“Engulfed in corruption”
Angela Raynor, Labour’s deputy leader and shadow chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, said, “It shows just how engulfed in corruption this government is that the minister in charge of procurement and ensuring that contracts are awarded to the best bidder and represent value for money for the taxpayer was helping his own donor to get VIP fast track access to contracts.”
According to the document, Lord Agnew, a Cabinet Office minister, referred three companies to the government’s high priority list. These include Worldlink Resources, a company advised by former MP Brooks Newmark that landed a £258m deal. He also referred Uniserve, which was awarded £204m in PPE contracts alongside its existing £572m contract to handle PPE logistics. It was revealed recently that the government has paid Uniserve £124m for “storage costs” of unused PPE.6
Lord Feldman, a health department adviser at the time, referred three companies through the fast lane including SG Recruitment which landed £50m in PPE contracts. The Conservative Peer Lord Chadlington sits on the board of its parent company, Sumner Group Holdings Limited.
The then health secretary Matt Hancock referred four firms subsequently awarded PPE contracts—Excalibur Healthcare, JD.COM, Monarch Acoustics, and Nine United. The conservative backbench MPs Julian Lewis, Andrew Percy, Steve Brine, and Esther McVey and the conservative peer Lord Deighton referred one supplier each according to the document.
Another Conservative Peer, Baroness Mone is stated to have referred the company PPE Medpro, which won two contracts worth £200m just weeks after it was set up. The company was founded by a former business associate of Mone but she has previously denied any involvement in the process by which contracts were awarded.
Dominic Cummings, the former government adviser, is named as the referrer of Global United Trading which won a £350k PPE contract,
Jo Maugham, director of the Good Law Project, said, “We can at last see, in relation to the £12.5bn spent on PPE, the vast financial rewards you could reap if you had a minister looking out for your interests. There was no good reason—but there were obvious bad reasons—for the government to keep the public in the dark about these links.”
He added, “We now need some transparency about the equivalent VIP lane for test and trace contracts, on which £37bn of public money was spent. Now is the time for the fourth estate to show its mettle and get stuck in, investigating any transactions that have hallmarks of out-and-out corruption.”
The government maintains that offers of support through the high priority list were subject to the same rigorous checks and robust assurance processes as all other procurement routes and ministers did not and do not have any role in awarding contracts. A government spokesperson told The BMJ, “At the height of the pandemic there was a desperate need for PPE to protect health and social care staff and the government rightly took swift and decisive action to secure it. Ministers were not involved in awarding contracts.”
On 18 November the Good Law Project said that the full list of people who referred companies to the VIP lane ran to 50 names, rather than the 47 leaked to Politico. Among the new additions was current transport secretary Grant Shapps, who referred the firm EyeSpace Eyewear for fast track treatment. The firm landed a £1.4m deal to provide goggles.

My anxiety is so bad because I don’t know what the truth is. I read peoples comments talking about nwo and there are millions of them, very educated people as well and then I’m reading drs who work in healthcare talking about unvaccinated patients in ICU. I’m so confused what’s happening. I don’t know anyone who has had Covid, well I know one person who had a cold and tested positive but ended up ok.
I’m so confused and anxious with all this vaccine passport stuff. It doesn’t feel right to me either. It feels over the top considering I live in a densely populated area and still haven’t met anyone who has died or been hospitalised or even been ill at home with Covid. It will be two years soon and still it’s not hit us here badly for the measures their taking.
I only read about these cases in the media but not in real life.
I don’t want it to happen either but it’s strange how nearly two years now and still I haven’t met anyone or heard of anyone seriously ill with Covid.
My great auntie apparently died of Covid in Ireland but she was in her eighties and had high blood pressure problems and heart problems anyway so who’s to say it wasn’t a natural death really and not Covid.
I’m very confused, one min I take it seriously next I’m not so sure it’s real. I’ve had both jabs but I don’t really want anymore. To me a vaccine should last year’s not just six months and to be still able to get Covid and pass it on seems pointless having the vaccine. Why are we bothering.
That’s not to even mention we are all lab rats now. It was bad enough being a lab rat for SSRIs. I’m too tired to have to repeat this shit and be harmed again.

Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, Novavax and other stakeholders I have forgotten to mention, please be very afraid when all the injured and the families/friends of those who have passed away, come forward and speak the truth.
Big Pharma and many stakeholders have silenced us for way too long.
Imagine when the tables turn. Justice will be served.
People matter.
Lives matter.
It is not about saving the world. It is about doing the right thing!
If it does not STOP people from getting the Covid-19, once they have the vaccine, like Anne-Marie so intelligently put it, what is the point of having the jab!
”To me a vaccine should last year’s not just six months and to be still able to get Covid and pass it on seems pointless having the vaccine. Why are we bothering.”
Where are they going with all this?

You can see the notifiable numbers by health care professionals for all of 2020 here, Covid-19 is on page 14 of the pdf The numbers are very low for the whole year.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notifiable-diseases-weekly-reports-for-2020
Plus the RT PCR and Lateral Flow tests can not say anything about infection and infectiousness – here is a quote from Professor Allyson Pollock in the BMJ:
“It’s also unclear to what extent people with no symptoms transmit SARS-CoV-2. The only test for live virus is viral culture. PCR and lateral flow tests do not distinguish live virus. No test of infection or infectiousness is currently available for routine use. As things stand, a person who tests positive with any kind of test may or may not have an active infection with live virus, and may or may not be infectious.
The relations between viral load, viral shedding, infection, infectiousness, and duration of infectiousness are not well understood. In a recent systematic review, no study was able to culture live virus from symptomatic participants after the ninth day of illness, despite persistently high viral loads in quantitative PCR diagnostic tests. However, cycle threshold (Ct) values from PCR tests are not direct measures of viral load and are subject to error
While viral load seems to be similar in people with and without symptoms, the presence of RNA does not necessarily represent transmissible live virus. The duration of viral RNA shedding (interval between first and last positive PCR result for any sample) is shorter in people who remain asymptomatic, so they are probably less infectious than people who develop symptoms”

This MP gets it – and does something about it. Most MPs AMs do nothing while the elderly people Jim Shannon mentions are wise enough to raise concerns and refuse the Pfizer. There’s still time to copy this to individual members of government remembering to keep copies of who was contacted and their response (including no response)
Pfizer’s vaccine trial Paul D Thacker. 375:doi 10.1136/bmj.n2635
Dear Editor,
Many of my constituents in Strangford Northern Ireland have written to me about this very alarming, revelatory and unvarnished report concerning grave irregularities and data falsification by a sub-contractor carrying out clinical trials of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine in trial sites in the US.
As a consequence of this report, I have written to the Health Secretary Savid Javid for an immediate response to it and also to Dr June Raine, CEO of the MHRA for reassurance that such dubious practices have not occurred at UK trial sites. I have also requested that a parliamentary sub-committee investigate the claims made by the whistleblower Brook Jackson.
My constituents inform me that since publication of this report, many have as a result requested their GPs not to have the Pfizer booster vaccine, but have the Astra Zeneca vaccine instead.
I am quite appalled by this report, it has caused terrible worry and anguish among my constituents, many of whom are frail and elderly. If the reported findings are in fact true, it may be necessary for the regulator to withdraw its approval for patient safety. I have advised my parliamentary colleagues accordingly.
Regards,
Jim Shannon MP Strangford N Ireland

Did anyone see the annual Festive of Remberance Service, either in person or on BBC 1.All the great and the good, parades by all the armed forces, people marching, grouping in very tight formation. Not a mask or any social distancing in sight. What do they know that we don’t? No Mandatory Jabs in the armed forces.

Covid testing provider investigated over plans to sell on customer’s DNA samples for medical research
Cignpost, which trades as ExpressTest and has provided up to three million tests, said it intended to analyse samples from swabs or to sell information onto third parties
A firm that provides pre-departure and arrivals tests for international travellers is being investigated over plans to sell on DNA from swabs for medical research
By Amy Walker
November 14, 2021 10:25 am(Updated 10:26 am)
A government-approved Covid testing provider is being investigated by the UK’s data privacy watchdog over plans to sell customer’s DNA for medical research.
Cignpost Diagnostics, which trades as ExpressTest, said it intended to analyse samples from swabs to “learn more about human health” or to sell information to third parties, documents seen by the Sunday Times show.
Though individuals are usually required to give informed consent for sensitive medical data to be used, it is understood that customers were blindsided when booking through the company.
When purchasing tests, they were asked to tick a box agreeing to a 4,876-word privacy policy which links to another document outlining the research programme.
The reference was removed by Cignpost last week after evidence of its activities were passed onto the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), which is now investigating.
However, it is not known how many samples have been stored by the firm or if they have been sold or used for research already. The policy said that data belonging to those providing swabs was retained indefinitely.
Scotland vaccine passport: Negative Covid tests could feature in revamped system
Cignpost was founded in June last year and is understood to have sold up to three million tests. It currently supplies pre-departure and arrival tests for travellers, with walk-in centres at sites including Heathrow and Gatwick
The “research programme information sheet”, seen by the Sunday Times, says the company keeps hold of data including “biological samples…and the DNA obtained from such samples”.
It also states that it may share DNA samples and other personal information with “collaborators” including universities and private companies and that it “may receive compensation” in return”.
ICO deputy commissioner Steve Wood said the body was looking “carefully” at the information gathered by the newspaper.
“There is no personal data more sensitive than our DNA. People should be told about what’s happening to it in a clear, open and honest way so they can make informed decisions about whether they want to give it up,” he told the newspaper.
Cignpost said it worked in “full compliance” with data privacy laws. A spokesperson said: “We have invested significantly in robust systems and processes to ensure we protect our customers.
“Because we are testing our customers for a potentially serious condition, protecting that data is paramount for our organisation.”

The POLICIES are not a true representation of the Covid-19 virus.
Are people in POLITICS debating our concerns?
If not, please let people who have been injured by medicines/vaccines have a voice in the corridors of power.
Silencing those who can see beyond the hypocrisy, is not going to benefit anyone.
The poster boy (Chief Health Ministers & other Stakeholders), are there to promote the vaccines.
They don’t care if someone gets maimed or passes away!

“Revelation 2 – The PCR test:
“The crucial point is that we identify as many people as possible with PCR. And then sequencing is a sequential downstream technology that gives us even more information. But first of all, the whole essence of pandemic control is that we identify people…”
Wieler thus reveals that PCR testing is all about identification. What is particularly suspicious about his statement is that this “testing pandemic” is now apparently being used to advance an agenda of identification and digitisation. As early as 2019, before the first Corona outbreak, he had called for better identification and digital storage to be able to increase vaccination rates.”

I flagged up a worry to Big Brother Watch :- there is no absolute guarantee that a request would not draw attention to an individual and subsequent harrassment could mean delays with payments and further surveillance. But it would be interesting to know what info is held after being processed in algorithms like these. Another secretive surveillance which will or is no doubt extended into other areas of private lives.

Hi Susanne,
It’s an important issue you raise and something we have considered before putting out our callout to our supporters as we would never want to have an adverse impact on someone’s benefits – however the provisions of the Data Protection Act are written in such a way that someone’s rights of access to information held on them is required to be treated in isolation from any other relationship with the organization so penalizing someone for using their data rights would be an alarming abuse of process and is not something we think is likely.
The Full Case Reviews are also carried out by councils, who are given lists of people identified by the DWP’s algorithm, and our call out focusses on the DWP side of things so that should make any connection even more difficult for the benefits reviewers.
I hope that answers your questions

Subject: re subject access request
Hello BBW
I am wondering – is it the DPW themselves which process the reviews.
Would the council be involved- which other bodies might be involved.
My worry is that people who decide to ask for a review are going to
make themselves visible and therefore more likely to be harrassed.
Which in turn could mess with their benefits.
What do you think?
best wishes

WELFARE DATA WATCH
Big Brother Watch needs your help to understand the Department for Work and Pension’s
secretive risk-scoring algorithm that impacts millions of Britons,
the Housing Benefit Accuracy Award Indicator Initiative.
We need you to exercise your data rights to help uncover how the DWP is using algorithmic profiling to influence potentially life changing decisions, by demanding your data from the DWP and local councils.
Huge databases are being used to predict which children are at risk of harm or involvement in crime and which families are vulnerable, with little evidence the predictions are any better than the views of an experienced social worker, while benefits applicants are profiled and risk scored by computer systems by the Department for Work and Pensions and their local council.
Our report “Poverty Panopticon: the hidden algorithms shaping Britain’s welfare state”, published in July 2021 and formed from a 9-month investigation reveals how councils across the UK are conducting mass profiling and citizen scoring of welfare and social care recipients to predict fraud, rent non-payments and major life events.
Read the report by clicking here or on the image below
The algorithms that we have uncovered are unevidenced, incredibly invasive and likely discriminatory. Councils are using tools of automated suspicion without residents’ knowledge or their consent and risk disadvantaging and discriminating against Britain’s poor.
540,000 benefits applicants are secretly assigned fraud risk scores by councils’ algorithms
before they can access housing benefit or council tax support
Age, the number of children someone has, or where they live can influence their fraud risk score – yet councils say the tool is not biased
Credit reference agency TransUnion maintains
a National Register of Benefits Claimants
RENTSENSE
Personal data from 1.6 million people living in social housing is processed by commercial algorithms to predict rent non-payers
Universal Credit recipients can be subject to added scrutiny just because of the benefits they receive
DWP HOUSING BENEFIT RISK SCORING
Around 3 million housing benefit recipients are risk profiled by the Department for Work and Pensions
Councils are forced to review the 400,000 most likely to have an error in their claim leading to a benefit cut
PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS
250,000+ people’s data is processed by a range of secretive automated tools to predict the likelihood they’ll be abused, become homeless, be out of work or become involved in crime
Bristol Council’s childhood predictive analytics database holds information on 170,000 people across more than 40 social issues
Xantura is trying to develop a “vulnerability lens” on the whole population to model all kinds of risk, and their OneView system considers all kinds of data, from your sex life to anger management issues
Hillingdon Council’s youth gang crime system can use a child’s school or where they live to model what behaviours they are likely to have
Tens of thousands of people in half a dozen areas have been profiled by a low-income family tracker without their knowledge, but only a few hundred were flagged for additional support
TELECARE
Councils in the southeast of England are trialling tablet computers that could replace in-person care and require you to hand over personal details to call your loved ones
Amazon Echo Dot listening devices are being put into thousands of older people’s homes across the country without any additional data protection, meaning that Alexa is sending huge amounts of data about these people to the shopping giant
TAKE ACTION AND HELP OUR CAMPAIGN
If you get Housing Benefit the Department for Work and Pensions is using your personal data to predict if you are a fraud risk.
2.8 million people will be risk scored on factors including their age and gender, and 1 in 7, around 400,000 people, will be flagged as a high fraud risk.
Every one of these 400,000 people flagged as a fraud risk by a computer system will be subject to an intrusive Full Case Review by their local council.
Most councils do not explain why individuals are having their Housing Benefit reviewed and why they must answer detailed questions over and over again.
Anyone receiving a Full Case Review letter must hand over the required information and some councils will halt Housing Benefits payments just one week after the letter is sent, leaving people with almost no time to respond.
Leaving a computer algorithm to decide who must submit to an intrusive examination of their benefits is an invasion of privacy and makes it possible for the HBAAI to entrench bias into the welfare system.
Let us know if you have sent off a Subject Access Request, or if you have any questions, by emailing us at info@bigbrotherwatch.org.uk
MAKE A SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST
Data protection rules entitle you to ask any public body how they use your information and why – your Subject Access Request lets you find what data your council or the DWP holds on you and how it is used.
The responses you get will be vital to our research, if you decided to share it confidentially with Big Brother Watch. In return, we promise to do everything we can to explain how your data is being processed.
If you receive Housing Benefit and want to help, fill in this form and copy and paste this message into the “Information You Need Box”.
We suggest the date range for the request being from 1st January 2019 to the present day.

Do politicians understand the implications of their speeches.
The majority rule however, people like this have to be very careful about what they say. They are causing division, hatred and further discrimination to those who have been injured by medicines/vaccines or those innocent people, who have passed away.
Emotional blackmail at it’s best!
Some Politicians are hurting many innocent people out there. People through no fault of their own have had their good health compromised and medical notes were not even honestly documented. Shame on you all!
Health care workers are on the front-line and they SEE what is happening to innocent people who are having the Covid-19 vaccines. Please do not down play the seriousness of innocent people passing away or being maimed.The media never speaks up about this! Some journalist should be ashamed of themselves, also!
As for the politicians who are advocating for us ~We are sincerely grateful for advocating for the injured and those who have tragically passed away. These souls had no voice. We appreciate you sticking out your necks for us.
Many politicians are working on the fear of the people and I am mortified that this kind of “carry on” goes on in parliament. They can scream and raise their voices in parliament however, when the injured have concerns, many are quick to twist it all around and hang up on you. Shame on all you people who have no AUDACITY to display some compassion or civil interaction with those who have serious concerns.

A real disgrace when we don’t listen to peoples stories and are very biased and programmed to only think one way. This is Un-Australian!
The policies are incongruent with real science.
Lot of hypocracy going on that makes a joke of this pandemic. People can see things for what they are and they are not STUPID!

Chris, this amazing woman deserves the Nobel Peace Price for saying it as it is.
Thank you for posting it on RXISK. ~ Much appreciated.
She is definitely a ‘Truth Teller’ who is not afraid to speak up about corruption.
She is definitely wide awake.
Thank you Polly, for sharing your wealth of knowledge and spreading the truth.

So after your life has been destroyed by akathisia induced by psych and other drugs, you labelled seriously mentally ill, dangerous and forced to live on benefits you are also subject to this.

Never having harms acknowledged, which were a result of medicine iatrogenesis, is like living in hell. When your adverse experiences have not been documented honestly, it makes your nightmare experience lack integrity and credibility. I am beyond justifying my medical issues! I am sure there are many people like me who feel very ripped off by a system that did not care. We would appreciate recognition for the wrongdoings of the past and how our good health has been taken away from us.

We don’t want a bunch of Guys or Dolls to turn blue, I was in an amateur production of Guys and Dolls once in High Wycombe. I’ve been having the vertigo experience just recently so I’m planning to add a Ginger supplement to my current regimen. I read some research papers properly on Ginger and from the RCT data it should stop myself and others in withdrawal from feeling quite so dizzy and disoriented all the time. I do try to read genuine papers which haven’t been written by ghosts.
