England and Wales: Deaths Are Surging (We Need to Know Why)
HAVE just checked this morning’s (weekly) mortality numbers across England and Wales in the official government site (ONS publishes these numbers each week).
Before the pandemic we had about 9,000 deaths on the 38th week of the year:
Notice how it has climbed since then. This year is a lot worse than last year, too:
England and Wales became a place where people live shorter lives. Has the government checked the reasons?

There’s No Plan to Defeat COVID-19 and Many People Are Still Dying
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:
Compare to 2023:
Notice the significant increase for the latest week on record.

From FDA to MHRA: are drug regulators for hire?
www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1538
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.
