ASTRAZENECA PULL COVID JAB – WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

AstraZeneca has just removed its COVID-19 vaccine from the marketplace – and this is good news for those concerned about its safety – but, does this actually change anything?

According to a report on the BBC website, “[AstraZeneca] said the rise of new coronavirus variants meant demand had shifted to the newer updated vaccines”, implying the commercial viability of the product, rather than any safety signal was the reason for its removal.

Reporting in mainstream media gives a mere glance to its tendency to cause blood clots, stating that the AstraZeneca vaccine “was estimated to have saved millions of lives during the pandemic, but also caused rare, and sometimes fatal, blood clots,’ before extoling more virtues of this jab, which ‘lifted us out of the catastrophe’ and saved ‘over 6.5 million lives’.

(Quotes source: BBC News website https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-68977026)

Perhaps this will be the first of many COVID vaccines to be removed from market, or perhaps not – either way, these vaccines are in already injected into the population.

But how will we know if these vaccines are safe and effective unless we monitor the health of everyone – vaccinated or not – going into the future.

This is what the Control Group are doing – monitoring the health outcomes of as many people as possible to see what happens to the state of our collective health over the next several decades.

Vaccinated and unvaccinated, we need to know if you are getting sick, and equally, we need to know if you are staying well. In fact, one of the most important things you can do is to check-in with us each month and let us know you are alive and well even when you have nothing new to report – otherwise, how will we know who is affected and who is not?

We are dedicated to discovering the truth – and so are our participants who update their accounts each month.

SPEAKING UP FOR THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

Those of you who have heard me and Dez talk about our motivation for the Control Group, will know that music was one of the key factors behind our wanting to create this study — with our eldest daughter training to be in the music industry, we know the extraordinary level of discrimination that exists for those who choose not to, or indeed, have medical reasons for not taking the COVID jabs. Indeed, many in the industry have become self-appointed proponents of mandated medical interventions.

However, a number of highly revered musicians have been speaking out, and one of them is one of the most influential drummers in jazz, rock, and fusion — Vinnie Colaiuta.

Vinnie has recently recorded a fantastic interview with Dr Tess Lawrie about the WHO treaty and international health amendments — their implications for individual and national sovereignty, and steps available to take action.

Listen on Rumble or in Vinnie’s podcast, Breakfast with Vinnie.
