Mother wins battle to stop son having Covid vaccine she feared could kill him

Landmark case

Sarah, Tom’s mum

Kafkaesque nightmare’ that nearly bankrupted her

Franz Kafka

German-language from Prague

Writing fuses elements of realism and the fantastic

Typically features isolated protagonists,

facing bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers.

Tom (24)

Rare heart condition, learning difficulties

Chromosome abnormality

Doctors and social workers

Demanded that he be injected for the “greater good of society”

The experts

Professor, paediatrics Martin McCaffrey (US)

Tom was more likely to suffer heart complications – such as myocarditis and pericarditis – if given the mRNA vaccine.

Because Tom has partial trisomy 13 he was more likely to suffer heart complications if given the mRNA vaccine.

Professor, paediatrics Adam Finn, (UK)

Agreed with Prof McCaffrey, stressed the possibility of such adverse side-effects would not have changed public policy at the height of the pandemic.

Sarah (60)

Battle has eroded her trust in public organisations such as social services, doctors and the courts,

Government introduced a policy that ignores individual circumstances.

Spent her life savings (£25,000) plus £60,000 crowdfunding.

Threatened with arrest, jail, seizure of her assets, possibility of Tom being removed from home to be “forcibly jabbed”.

“It has felt like a Kafkaesque nightmare because I was taking on the state that wouldn’t budge.

“I went from being a loving mother and Tom’s sole carer to a near criminal. I have been made to feel like a liar, a bad person and a fanatic.

“I was wrongly accused of being an anti-vaxxer just for questioning whether this new gene therapy was right for my son and his complex conditions.

To me, it was the state that was fanatical about its policy by bringing its might to bear down upon me.

“Doctors, cardiologists, lawyers and social workers hid behind Government guidance, which is just that – guidance.”

Court of Protection

Assigned Tom a lawyer to act in his “best interests”.

Lawyer and local integrated care board, agreed with vaccination

Judge Burrows, Tom was in an at-risk group and so should have the jab,

Court was “ill-equipped” to say if the vaccine was safe or not but taking it was “altruistic” and required of every citizen.

Mr Justice Hayden

“no longer in Tom’s best interests to receive the jab”

“changing landscape of the virus and increasing immunity within the community”

had created a “wholly changed situation”

“genuinely pleased” to conclude it was “no longer in Tom’s best interests to receive the Covid vaccination”.

Paul Diamond, Sarah’s barrister

“mother who loves her child”

In future all parties involved in similar legal disputes should adopt a “more cooperative” rather than “aggressive” approach.

Stephen Jackson, Sarah’s solicitor

“love and good decision-making meant he is now 24 years old”.

Ruling that the judge’s reliance on the virus’s “changing landscape” meant he had not tackled “uncomfortable issues”.

“Prof McCaffrey’s findings were that the working assumption should be that individuals with trisomy – those who have 47 instead of 46 chromosomes – may be less able to cope with mRNA gene therapy technology in the vaccine,”

“More investigation is needed. But anyone caring for those with trisomy conditions, such as Down’s Syndrome and Edwards’ Syndrome, should be made aware of Prof McCaffrey’s warning.”

“Yet the court and state and lawyers and medics who’ve never met Tom decided they should make decisions for him and denied his mother had any rights at all.

“State overreach and attack on the family unit could not be clearer.

This situation is being faced by many families up and down the land.”

Hope accord in detail
THE HOPE ACCORD

https://thehopeaccord.org

ONE

THE IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION OF THE COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE PRODUCTS

A growing body of evidence suggests that the widespread rollout of the novel Covid-19 mRNA vaccine products is contributing to an alarming rise in disability and excess deaths.

The association observed between the vaccine rollout and these concerning trends is now supported by additional significant findings.

These include the discovery of plausible biological mechanisms of harm demonstrated in laboratory and autopsy studies,

as well as high rates of adverse events seen in randomised clinical trials and national surveillance programs.

Altogether, these observations indicate a causal link.

This new technology was granted emergency use authorisation to address a situation that no longer exists.

Going forward, the burden of proof falls on those still advocating for these products to compellingly demonstrate that they aren’t resulting in net harm.

Until such evidence is presented, regulators should suspend their use as a matter of standard medical precaution.

TWO

A COMPREHENSIVE RE-EVALUATION OF THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF ALL COVID-19 VACCINE PRODUCTS

Independent investigations must be properly resourced to allow a comprehensive re-evaluation of all Covid-19 vaccine products.

There must be a full exploration of mechanisms of harm to provide insight into their impact on the human body, both short and long term.

Effectiveness must be reassessed through a comprehensive review of actual clinical impact on illness and mortality,

as opposed to synthetic results based on modelled assumptions.

We call on the scientific community to come forward with findings from unpublished Covid-19 vaccine studies.

This will help mitigate publication bias,

whereby unfavourable results were often rejected or withheld due to fears of reputational damage.

Crucially, government bodies and the pharmaceutical industry must also provide full transparency,

granting access to previously undisclosed anonymised patient-level data from clinical trials and surveillance programs.

These cumulative actions will help determine any real world benefit of these products versus the true extent of the damage caused.

THREE

THE IMMEDIATE RECOGNITION AND SUPPORT FOR THE VACCINE-INJURED

The denial of vaccine injury is a betrayal of those who followed official directives,

often under coercion from mandates restricting their access to work, education, travel, hospitality and sports.

The vaccine-injured must be recognised and every effort made to understand their conditions.

Support should include readily accessible multidisciplinary clinics offering investigation and treatment as well as appropriate compensation for all those who have been harmed.

FOUR

THE RESTORATION OF ETHICAL PRINCIPLES ABANDONED DURING THE COVID-19 ERA

Fundamental and cherished principles of medical ethics were disregarded on the premise of an emergency.

These included: ‘first do no harm’, informed consent, bodily autonomy and the notion that adults protect children – not the other way around.

The precautionary principle was inverted.

Also, particularly concerning was the erosion of free speech – a democratic principle that underpinned the ability to question untested interventions whilst ensuring other principles were upheld.

The consequence was exposing the public, especially healthy young people – including children – to unacceptable risks of harm.

Emergencies are never a reason to abandon our principles; it is precisely at such times that we most profoundly depend on them.

Only after acknowledging they were wrongly abandoned can we commit to upholding them consistently and in doing so, better protect future generations.

FIVE

ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES OF OUR CURRENT PREDICAMENT

The medical profession must lead by admitting we lost our way.

By drawing attention to these medical and ethical issues surrounding the Covid-19 response, we hope to validate and amplify the call to establish the relevant facts and ensure vital lessons are learned.

An honest and thorough investigation is needed, addressing the root causes that have led us to this place,

including institutional groupthink, conflicts of interest and the suppression of scientific debate

We ultimately seek a renewed commitment to the core principles of ethical medicine,

returning to an era in which we strive for transparency,

accountability and responsible decision-making throughout the spheres of medicine and public health.

Dementia awareness
Lewy body dementias (LBD), 1.4 million in the United States.

https://www.lbda.org/10-things-you-should-know-about-lbd/

Presence of Lewy bodies

Typically progresses rapidly

Lewy Body Dementia Association

We understand that though many families are affected by this disease, few individuals and medical professionals are aware of the symptoms, diagnostic criteria, or even that LBD exists.

Lewy body dementias (LBD) are the second most common form of degenerative dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is most common.

LBD can have three common presentations

Some start with a movement disorder leading to the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease and later develop dementia.

This is diagnosed as Parkinson’s disease dementia.

Others start with a cognitive/memory disorder that may be mistaken for AD,

leading to the diagnosis of ‘dementia with Lewy bodies’ (DLB).

A small group will first present with neuropsychiatric symptoms, hallucinations, behavioral problems, difficulty with complex mental activities

The most common symptoms of LBD include:

Impaired thinking, such as loss of executive function (planning, processing information), memory, or the ability to understand visual information

Fluctuations in cognition, attention, or alertness

Problems with movement, including tremors, stiffness, slowness, and difficulty walking

Visual hallucinations (seeing things that are not present)

The symptoms of LBD are treatable

Early and accurate diagnosis of LBD is essential

Early and accurate diagnosis is important because LBD patients may react to certain medications differently than AD or PD patients.

A variety of drugs, including some dementia meds and some antiparkinsonian medications, can worsen LBD symptoms.

(LBD affects an individual’s brain differently than other dementias).

Treatment should always be monitored by a physician and may include prescriptive and other therapies, exercise, diet, sleep habits, changes in behavior, and daily routines.

Individuals and families living with LBD should not have to face this disease alone.

LBD affects every aspect of a person – their mood, the way they think, and the way they move.

The combination of cognitive, motor and behavioral symptoms creates a highly challenging set of demands for continuing care.

Physician education is urgently needed.

More research is urgently needed.

Research needs include tools for early diagnoses, such as screening questionnaires, biomarkers, neuroimaging techniques, and more effective therapies.

Currently, there is no specific test to diagnose LBD.

Inflammation and mast cell activation syndrome
Dr Tina Peers is a physician with a special interest in menopause, an inflammatory condition called mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and chronic fatigue. In this video Dr. Peers presents information that indicates MCAS is much more common than most doctors believe. She follows principles agreed by the key workers and opinion leaders in the MCAS field. This allows Dr. peers to practice treatment strategies that can transform many lives for the better.

Dr. Peers has also recently been treating people after covid vaccine injury.

Gates foundation funding
Existential threat
Opening Statement of Steven Quay, MD, PhD (18 Jun 2024)

https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/Testimony-Quay-2024-06-18.pdf

Finally, include what I call “gain of opportunity” research in new oversight efforts.

Going into caves where humans are seldom found,

taking a bat f***l sample containing thousands of viruses,

bringing those viruses back to a laboratory,

and culturing the specimens,

where a virus that might be controlled in a diverse natural environment but is now able to grow unrestricted in pure culture

provides an immense increase in opportunity for potential pandemic risk, even without genetic engineering.

This is the goal of the Global Virome Project,

a Gates Foundation funded,

EcoHealth Alliance associated effort.

Their stated goal: collect the estimated 500,000 unknown viruses that are capable of infecting humans and bring them back to a laboratory near you.

What could go wrong?

Unpublished dangerous research being done at the WIV on a MERS virus, 30% lethal to humans,

and a Nipah virus, more than 70% lethal to humans.

My preliminary analysis is that any epidemic with a 15% or greater lethal virus will cause a civilization collapse that will last longer than 250 years.

March 31, 2019

A shipment of deadly pathogens from Canada's National Microbiology Lab was sent to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The shipment was routed from Winnipeg to Toronto and then to Beijing on a commercial Air Canada flight.

The list of shipped viruses

seven varieties of Ebola virus,

the Hendra virus,

and two strains of Nipah virus, Malaysia and Bangladesh.

These are the top three most deadly human pathogens on the planet.

Shipped on a commercial airline full of unsuspecting passengers.

Reforms

While I find no actual benefit of gain-of-function research, I believe efforts to ban it, given the vested interests of literally the entire virology community, and maybe others, is a hill too steep to climb.

Human fertility
Recent decline in s***m motility among donor candidates at a s***m bank in Denmark

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38834185/

Lassen E, Pacey A, Skytte AB, Montgomerie R. Recent decline in s***m motility among donor candidates at a s***m bank in Denmark. Hum Reprod. 2024 Jun 4

(Denmake, Canada, UK)

Abstract

Denmark, 2017 - 2022

Variation in semen quality among men applying to be s***m donors

Summary answer

The motile s***m concentration and total motile s***m count (TMSC) in ej******es,

both measures of s***m quality,

declined by as much as 22% from 2019 to 2022.

What is known already

Questions remain about whether human semen quality has declined in recent years.

Resolution of this issue has important implications for human fertility

Study design, size, duration

Semen quality of ej******es previously collected from 2017 to 2022

S***m bank locations, four cities in Denmark

6,758 donor candidates

Between 18 and 45 years old

(to determine whether their s***m quality met a minimum criterion for them to be accepted as s***m donors)

Participants/materials, setting, methods

All ej******es were analyzed within 1 hour of production.

Computer-assisted semen analysis

Age, site, temperature.

2017 to 2019

Semen volume, s***m concentration, and total s***m count increased by 2-12%

2019 to 2022

Motile s***m concentration, down 16%

Total motile s***m count, down 22%

2019

Concentration of motile s***m, 18.4 million/ml

Total motile s***m count, 61.4 million per ej*****te

2022

Concentration of motile s***m, 15.5 million/ml

Total motile s***m count, 48.1 million per ej*****te

Limitations, reasons for caution

We cannot determine from the available data the causes of the decline in semen quality from 2019 to 2022.

Our results have implications for human fertility and the recruitment of s***m donors for medically assisted reproduction,

where motile s***m concentration is an essential selection criterion because it influences fertility.

We suggest that gathering health and lifestyle data on donor candidates at s***m banks might help to identify causal factors for the decline of s***m quality
