Read the Letter From an NHS Clinical Scientist to Sajid Javid on Why She is Quitting Over the Covid Vaccines, by LTB

A strong critique of the Covid rollout in Britain’s National Healthy service. From LTB at dailyskeptic.org:

There follows a letter from an NHS Clinical Scientist of some 25 years – currently employed at an NHS University Hospital Trust but who has just resigned – to Health Secretary Sajid Javid to tell him why she is quitting over the complicity of the health service in the national scandal that is the Covid vaccine rollout. The letter is presented here anonymously under the pseudonym LTB, but the Daily Sceptic has seen a copy of the original and confirmed LTB’s identity.

January 21st 2022

Dear Hon Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care,

My name is LTB and I am an NHS Clinical Scientist with a quarter of a century of experience, currently employed at an NHS University Hospital Trust. Not for long: I have resigned.

The reasons are numerous and all connected to the COVID-19 mass vaccination campaign.

Like thousands of other healthcare workers, I have had misgivings about these vaccines from the outset, on both ethical and safety grounds.

Although the ethical issue has been sidelined by the current pressing concerns on the safety profile of these vaccines, nevertheless the use of cell-lines from aborted foetuses has been and remains at the forefront of my conscience. As a healthcare professional, I believe that the right to conscientious objection is also a duty of care towards society and, ultimately, protects the very essence of our humanity.

A core principle in healthcare is to ensure that patients are given free access to all information, to enable them to make a proper and informed choice about any treatment. As a scientist, I have been and still am gravely concerned about the Government and NHS misrepresentation of these vaccines as ‘safe and effective’ – a mantra still promoted by our Government and media, despite the overwhelming evidence demonstrating otherwise of the MHRA Yellow Card scheme and worldwide databases for reporting adverse effects. Worryingly, the great majority of GPs have not being raising awareness of this scheme, leading to significant under-reporting and, consequently, under-estimation of the actual situation. I personally have spoken to people who, after experiencing bad reactions to the first dose, have been encouraged by doctors to continue regardless and take the second, with serious consequences for their health. They had never heard of the MHRA Yellow Card scheme and wouldn’t know how to make a report. Misinformation starts from the seniors: I have been told (in writing) by Human Resources senior staff at my hospital that that vaccines have been “licensed”, genuinely oblivious to the fact that MHRA has granted only emergency approval.

NHS Nurse Publicly Resigns, Blasts COVID Lockdown Policy, by Paul Joseph Watson

Covid-19 totalitarianism, like all totalitarianism, shuts down dissent and relies on lies. From Paul Joseph Watson at summit.news:

“Unfortunately, I can’t lie anymore.”

 

An NHS nurse in Britain publicly resigned while wearing her uniform before releasing the real numbers of COVID patients in her hospital and denouncing the government’s disastrous lockdown policy.

The whole of England officially entered lockdown 2.0 today despite numerous experts warning that lockdowns will eventually end up killing more people than coronavirus itself.

A video out of Cornwall shows a nurse in uniform giving a speech explaining why she decided to resign from her job.

“I don’t need the uniform to prove that I work for them, but today, I’m publicly resigning,” she stated.

Coronavirus Lockdown and What You Are Not Being Told – Part 2 (With link to Part 1), by Iain Davis

An examination of who is pushing pandemic panic and lockdowns. From Iain Davis at off-guardian.org:

In Part 1 we looked at the reasons why questioning the coronavirus lockdown, despite the ever present allegation, does not demonstrate a callous disregard for human life. We are going to expand on why it doesn’t in this article.

I am based in the UK so much of this discussion relates to the decisions of the British State, but this is a global policy agenda and similar policies are found across the developed world. Effectively a small group of policy decision makers have placed an estimated 3.5 billion people under house arrest. It is only possible for them to do so with our consent. Consent is carefully cultivated by controlling the information we are given.

 

For the vast majority their only source of information is the corporate mainstream media (MSM) and the public announcements of the State. This article is written, as ever, in the hope people will do their own research and make up their own minds.

We are going to look at the evidence which strongly suggests the State and the MSM, adhering to a globalist agenda, have colluded to mislead the public into believing the COVID 19 (C19) threat is far greater than it actually is.

It’s Time to Give Up on Britain’s National Health Service, by Antony Sammeroff

Actually, it’s long past time to give up on Britain’s NHS, but better late than never. From Antony Sammeroff at mises.org:

“Woe unto you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.”

— Luke 6:26

Our National Health Service just turned 70! According to a recent article in The Guardian by Polly Toynbee , The NHS is our religion in the UK and that’s why the conservative government can’t destroy it. Of course, the Conservative government have never actually tried to destroy the NHS. They haven’t even reduced the amount spent on the NHS. They haven’t even halted increases in healthcare spending. The only thing they have done is reduced the rate at which spending is going to continue to increase.

Before the National Health Service was created in Great Britain our nation was a world-leader with an unrivalled record in making major medical breakthroughs. People came from all over the globe to study medicine, and to be treated in the UK. Dr. John Snow proved that the source of cholera epidemics was the water supply in London. Edward Jenner pioneered a vaccine for smallpox in rural England, and Sir Almroth Wright one for typhoid. Sir Humphrey Davy, also a Briton, first suggested the use of nitrous oxide as an anaesthetic in 1800. Sir Joseph Lister pioneered the use of antiseptics in operations in 1865 using impure carbolic acid, saving countless people dying from infections after surgery. Alexander Flemming, the Scottish physician discovered Penicillin in one of the charitable hospitals in London in 1928. Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, brought it to fruition working in a laboratory in Oxford in 1941. Britain had established the best record in the world for achieving major medical advances and had just developed the landmark drug of the 20th century, as well as playing a leading role in 5 out of the 7 leading medical breakthroughs between 1750 and 1948 when the NHS was established.1 Britain is no longer a leader in medical advances. Despite its costliness, nepotism, and other flaws, America’s private system has taken the lead.

Britain has less of the latest equipment and the old equipment is often being kept beyond the time when it is safe.2 If a private company was using out of date intensive care machines and x-ray machines, obsolete cancer care equipment, and operating tables over twenty years old – double their safe life span – the champions of the NHS would no doubt be clamouring for more government oversight and regulation. When government agencies are culpable, they are more or less given a pass on public outrage because they are perceived to be acting in the public interest rather than for profit.

NHS Waiting-List In England Reaches Longest In 11 Years, by Tyler Durden

Ah, the beauty of single-payer, or socialized medicine. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:

New figures released by NHS England today reveal the waiting list to be at its longest since August 2007 having steadily risen over the last few years to 4.1 million people awaiting treatment.

Responding to the figures, Chief Executive and General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, Janet Davies, said:

“While he is not personally on the hook today…these figures should leave the new Health Secretary in no doubt as to the scale of the task ahead of him“.

In terms of the action she sees as necessary for the NHS, she added:

“Safe and effective patient care relies on having enough nurses, and the Health Secretary must urgently address the staff shortages that are crippling our healthcare system.

As a reminder, in a tweet earlier this year, President Trump wrote:

“The Democrats are pushing for Universal Healthcare while thousands of people are marching in the UK because their system is going broke and not working. Dems want to greatly raise taxes for really bad and non-personal medical care. No thanks!”

With almost 10% of the UK population in front of you for treatment, he may have a point.

Patients Are “Dying in Corridors” of Britain’s Socialised Health System, by George Pickering

This is what the proponents of “single payer” health insurance want for the US. From George Pickering at lewrockwell.com:

“Patients dying in hospital corridors.” So went the headline which appeared on the BBC’s website last week, detailing the newest outrages which have emerged from Britain’s crisis-beset healthcare system. This most recent revelation came as a result of an open letter sent to the prime minister by 68 senior doctors, offering details of the inhuman conditions which have become common in the National Health Service’s hospitals.

The letter, which collected statistics from NHS hospitals in England and Wales, found that in December alone over 300,000 patients were made to wait in emergency rooms for more than four hours before being seen, with thousands more suffering long waits in ambulances before even being allowed into the emergency room. The letter further noted that it had become “routine” for patients to be left on gurneys in corridors for as long as 12 hours before being offered proper beds, with many of them eventually being put into makeshift wards hastily constructed in side-rooms. In addition to this, it was revealed that around 120 patients per day are being attended to in corridors and waiting rooms, with many being made to undergo humiliating treatments in the public areas of hospitals, and some even dying prematurely as a result. One patient reported that, having gone to the emergency room with a gynecological problem which had left her in severe pain and bleeding, a lack of treatment rooms led hospital staff to examine her in a busy corridor, in full view of other patients.

While it’s tempting to believe that these extreme cases must be a rare occurrence, the fact is that such horror stories have become increasingly the norm for a socialised healthcare system that seems to be in a permanent state of crisis. Indeed, as the NHS entered the first week of 2018, over 97% of its trusts in England were reporting levels of overcrowding so severe as to be “unsafe.”

Will The Government Force You To Live Longer?

From Giles Sheldrick at the Sunday Express, “Five simple lifestyle rules that add YEARS to your life”:

Regular exercise, sensible eating, maintaining a healthy weight, ­minimal alcohol consumption and no smoking are the simple steps that guarantee longevity.

Ground-breaking research conducted over 35 years found those who make subtle lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of developing killer conditions by up to 70 per cent. Cases of cancer, heart attack, stroke, diabetes and dementia were slashed in those who seized control of their health.

It is the clearest sign yet that a clean-living lifestyle is the most effective way of avoiding an early grave. The advice might sound straightforward but health chiefs said the revolutionary report was a “salutary warning” to a nation beset by ill health.

GP Ian Campbell said: “It is not just a wake-up call but a loud ­cannon across the bows for individuals and NHS decision makers.

“The principal components of a healthy, long life may seem obvious and should definitely be encouraged. But in an age of technology and breathtaking medical advances we have lost sight of the much more obvious and simpler fact that a healthy, active lifestyle is more powerful than any drug in preventing ill health and increasing life expectancy.”

In 1979, Cardiff University School of Medicine set out to examine the relationship between lifestyle choices and chronic disease. Some 2,500 men aged 45-59 in Caerphilly, South Wales, agreed to be monitored for life.

They were told sticking to a healthy regime would ward off a host of illnesses but only a handful managed to do so.

A healthy, active lifestyle is more powerful than any drug in increasing life expectancy

Last night came categoric proof that those who followed the five simple steps were in the rudest of health. They slashed the risk of developing diabetes by 70 per cent. Heart attack, stroke and dementia were reduced by 60 per cent, while instances of cancer fell by 40 per cent. Most tellingly, those who neglected to take responsibility for their health experienced no benefit at all.

A healthy lifestyle does not provide immunity from disease but the study found those who lead a healthier life can delay the onset of crippling conditions by years.

Good, if not exactly startling, news, right? By all means, exercise, eat right, maintain a healthy weight, don’t smoke, and don’t drink much if you’re interested in leading a long and healthy life. The ominous note comes towards the end of the article.

Official estimates say obesity costs the NHS [Britain’s National Health Service] £5.1billion a year, while alcohol-related diseases cost £3.5billion. Treating smoking-related illnesses lands the health service with a £3billion annual bill – more than £50million a week.

If bad habits costs the National Health Service all that money, how long will it be before it not only applauds and encourages good habits, but mandates them? Doesn’t the one who pays the piper get to call the tune? As the US moves towards its version of socialized medicine, will we be looking at state-enforced healthy living? After all, this is the land where a billionaire mayor tried to stop grown ups from drinking too much soda pop, the first lady dictates school lunch menus, and cigarette companies have to tell people their products kill them. Perhaps the only consideration that will stay governments’ hands is a countervailing fiscal one. If people live longer, it will increase their huge unfunded pension and old-age medical liabilities.
