Six years on from the pandemic the questions that remain unanswered can only be answered from a rigorous scientific perspective. It is remarkable that the Commission failed to engage with the volume of scientific publishing that was submitted to them. Our modern civilization and its technology is built on the foundation of evidence which is assessed using quantities and mathematical analysis. For a complex problem the assignment of mathematical…
Yesterday I found our Tamarillo tree leaves infested with microscopic mites who were busy sucking the life out of the plant. This morning I got up and found a massive invasion of ants had cleared up the mites. Problem solved. I never cease to marvel at the natural world. Trillions upon trillions of beings of all shapes, sizes and types integrated within an ecosystem of immeasurable beauty, diversity and balance, all following paths set by their…
In our article “Some Hard Sobering Truths Are Beginning to Sink in" we reported that Health Services in highly vaccinated countries are beginning to realise that more people are falling sick than ever before. Higher percentages of the population are suffering from chronic and serious health conditions that require more medical care. This is putting a strain on national health budgets particularly in nations with high rates of Covid vaccination.…
For some months now, the NZ government has been claiming that an economic recovery is just around the corner. We are still waiting and wondering. A quick look at the state of health of highly vaccinated nations is very revealing: · In the USA, a Wall Street Journal report found that medical care employment has become the so-called engine of the US economy. Virtually all the 130,000 new jobs added in January were related to healthcare. In the…
Last week the US FDA refused to approve the Moderna mRNA flu vaccine because of the inadequacy of trial design. Right away the virulence and reach of the pro vaccine, pro pharma lobby became apparent. Articles are appearing in newspapers all over the world calling for an end to so-called anti-vax policy decisions. For example the NY Post carried an editorial entitled “To save seniors’ lives, Trump must stomp on this deadly anti-vax call”. It…
We understand that the security services are charged with protecting a nation from internal conflict and foreign interference. You have to be fully alert to analyse information in order to detect and neutralise threats before they are launched. Any failure on the part of analysts can expose the nation to danger. Potential dangers come from many directions. In the modern context, biotechnologies pose unique threats. The global Covid pandemic…
An article in the UK Telegraph is entitled “I lost 3st on Mounjaro—now, I’m losing an organ”. It reports the case of a woman who took a weight loss drug and lost 20 kilograms over the course of a few months. She then developed painful gallstones, acute pancreatitis and an inflamed liver—a potentially life threatening combination. She is now scheduled to have her gallbladder surgically removed. Gallbladder surgeries hit a peak in 2024-25 in…
The Millbank Quarterly (a multidisciplinary journal of health and health policy) published an article on 2 February 2026 entitled “From Tobacco to Ultraprocessed Food: How Industry Engineering Fuels the Epidemic of Preventable Disease”. The authors explain how ultra processed foods (UPFs) and beverages are specifically designed to heighten chemical rewards in order to develop addictive eating behaviours among consumers that bypass the…
A paper published in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society entitled “Identifying and quantifying potentially problematic prescribing cascades in clinical practice: A mixed-methods study” throws a sharp light on mistakes that were made by physicians, GPs, hospital staff and epidemiologists during the pandemic. · A prescribing cascade occurs when adverse effects result which are not recognised as caused by the drug; after which another…
2019 heralded the start of a new era, but not perhaps the new age that many had hoped for. The advent of mass biotechnology has signalled a complete break with the past, not just the immediate past but virtually the whole of human history. Biotechnology cuts across every prior human relationship, cultural norm, political system, physiological mechanism and scientific concept. It does so by irrevocably altering the vehicle of human existence—the…
