HAVE just retrieved today’s number of deaths for the latest week on record, Week 37. It was released less than an hour ago and it shows England & Wales deaths in 2023:

Compare to pre-COVID-19:

So about 1,100 people more died this year in that week compared to pre-COVID-19

ere in the UK, COVID-19 spirals out of control again. Almost 4 years have passed and there’s still no solution to it. In England, COVID-19 cases, deaths, and further escalations (hospitalisations) soared 30% in one week.

Based on the numbers released by ONS this morning, excess deaths across the country remain high.

Here is 2019:

Notice the significant increase for the latest week on record.

From FDA to MHRA: are drug regulators for hire?

Money derived from Industry

US Food and Drug Administration, $3,416,000,000 (2022)

The revolving door

FDA, nine out of 10 of its past commissioners, 2006 to 2019 went on to secure roles linked with pharmaceutical companies

www.fda.gov/about-fda/fda-organization/robert-cali…

2005 UK, House of Commons’ health committee

Industry funding could lead MHRA, to “lose sight of the need to protect and promote public health above all else as it seeks to win fee income from the companies.”

BMJ investigation (2022)

We found that industry money permeates the globe’s leading regulators,

raising questions about their independence

Sociologist Donald Light, Rowan University, New Jersey

“Like the FDA, the TGA was founded to be an independent institute.

However, being largely funded by fees from the companies whose products it is charged to evaluate is a fundamental conflict of interest,

and a prime example of institutional corruption.”

It is no longer possible for doctors and patients to receive unbiased, rigorous evaluations from drug regulators.

FDA

“It’s the opposite of having a trustworthy organisation independently and rigorously assessing medicines.

They’re not rigorous, they’re not independent, they are selective, and they withhold data.

Doctors and patients must appreciate how deeply and extensively drug regulators can’t be trusted so long as they are captured by industry funding.”

Revisiting financial conflicts of interest in FDA advisory committees

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25199895/

Large study, FDA advisory committee members over 15 years,

those with financial interests solely in the sponsoring firm were more likely to vote in favour of the sponsor’s product.

They also harm trust in government, media, and the medical profession

‘ve just retrieved today’s data from ONS to assess the risk of dying after COVID-19 spread to the population in 2019, seeing that people my age group die a lot more. In the latest week on record, based on the data published an hour ago, 11.99% more people died than in the 5 years prior to the pandemic.

Here’s 2019:

Compare to this summer:

‘ve refreshed the ONS site repeatedly until I got the new data at 9:30 AM on Tuesday, i.e. the typical time slot (weekly). A minute ago the following was released:

Summer deaths for England and Wales still around 10k per week. It used to be 9k per week.

Compare to 2019, week 28:

And week 29:

‘ve just retrieved today’s new data release from ONS, showing that deaths for the latest week on record (in England and Wales) are about 10% higher than what they were before COVID-19. Is the pandemic over? Also, have we ruined people’s health? Many young adults are dying at alarming rates. It’s not about elderly people.
