- Comment by on The trust in scientists has hugely increased after the COVID-19 pandemic Saturday 01 April 2023: 14:04 I find this rather heartening as it’s contrary to the impression you get from much of the public discourse. I guess it just confirms that those with the least to say make the most noise when saying it.
- Comment by on The ‘Lightning Process’ (LP), an effective therapy for ME? Saturday 01 April 2023: 13:04 Pls look into the training of the LP consultants -I asked on twitter and a participant had queried theirs, and @postersforME had recorded it. In summary training to be a consultant is conducted at one weekend a month for 10 months, followed by an exam, ie 20 days training! Pic.twitter.com/jtkzGx2NQF

- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Saturday 01 April 2023: 12:04 @Richard Rasker I believe I indicated that the Rasmussen polls could have some inaccuracies, that said they didn’t show much difference between conservatives and liberals. Larger differences between men/women and old/younger. Don’t assume the polls are completely unscientific. When pharmaceutical corps do test and evaluating patients to know how a drug affected them, they many times rely on feedback from the patient to obtain data. Isn’t that quite close to taking a opinion poll ? Richard, the issue with the spike proteins is not how many, the issue is for how long the spike protein exists. Can you get that through your head ? A couple years ago, YOU for one here assured me that the mRNA spike proteins would be gone within a couple days from patients. This is simply not the case for over 9.% of covid-19 mRNA vaccine patients. This Richard IS,,,, the elephant in the room. C’mon, don’t BE the ignoramus you say I am.
- Comment by on CHARLES, THE ALTERNATIVE PRINCE Saturday 01 April 2023: 11:04 Edzard- I am sure you are ( partly) right. He must have celebrated the back of you and your department. He no doubt influenced those with the power to shut you down. He did not have that power to do so.
- Comment by on CHARLES, THE ALTERNATIVE PRINCE Saturday 01 April 2023: 11:04 I am sure he enjoyed closing my department, the only one critically looking at SCAM.
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Saturday 01 April 2023: 11:04 @RG What an utter load of crap. Rasmussen is quite reliable. Rasmussen does polls, not science. The primary tenet here is that polls show opinions, not facts. The numbers of patients carrying mRNA spike protein … Ah, the ‘Killer Spike Protein’ nonsense again … What total imbeciles uneducated persons like you fail to notice every time is that getting Covid-19 itself leads to a thousandfold level of spike proteins in the blood compared to getting the vaccine. And no, those mRNA spike proteins, although somewhat different, are not in any way more dangerous than those from the actual virus. And what total imbeciles uneducated persons like you also fail to notice every time is that those mRNA spike proteins are actually what makes the vaccine work. Without them, the vaccine would not produce an immune response. But thank you for once again showing off your profound ignorance on the subject.
- Comment by on CHARLES, THE ALTERNATIVE PRINCE Saturday 01 April 2023: 11:04 DavidB & Edzard- power lies with lawmakers (Parliament) , autocrats, dictators. Behind the scenes influence is not power. Of course most everyone has some sort of power over another. Has King Charles the power to ban your excellent, very critical book, about his wayward thinking and pontificating about CAM and other esoteric matters? I am sure he would enjoy seeing it disappear from the public conscience. I am also sure you will continue disagreement with my usage of the terms so we can agree to differ.
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Saturday 01 April 2023: 10:04 @Old Bob During the whole of 2020, I was NOT buying special food or taking special supplements or vitamins. I never even had a cold – and to date, I haven’t even had Covid-19 that I know of. So that proves it: keeping away from organic food, vitamins and supplements prevents Covid-19!
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Saturday 01 April 2023: 10:04 @Old Bob The problem is that your plain man may know what 2 + 2 makes, but has no clue about science in general and epidemiology and vaccines in particular. And contrary to what it may look like the way I present it, there is nothing wrong with that – as virtually every ‘plain man’ (or plain woman, if you will) has knowledge, skills and experience that scientists and doctors don’t have. In our society, we need all these people, with the emphasis on ‘all’. However, the problem arises when ‘plain men’ (and that certainly includes you) start blabbing nonsense about vaccines as if they know what they’re talking about. So let’s just say that when it comes to selling houses or unclogging drains or financing businesses, we should rely on realtors, plumbers and financial experts respectively, not doctors and scientists – but when it comes to vaccines and sickness and health, medical scientists and doctors are the ones we should listen to, not your ‘plain men’. And no, not just those few doctors who for reasons unknown have chosen to betray their oath and their profession, and jumped on the anti-vaccine bandwagon. … a fantasist such as Neil Furguson of the “we are all going to die!” persuasion. I’m not familiar with what Ferguson’s said exactly, but I do find it rather amusing(*) that you scold this epidemiologist for spreading spread alarmist messages about a deadly disease, but at the very same time keep spreading the exact same alarmist messages about vaccines yourself – even though you may well be the least qualified person on this planet to do so, and even though there is no evidence at all that those vaccines are in fact harmful. *: Please note how carefully I avoid using words such as ‘hypocritical’ and ‘stupid’. [On a completely different note: what’s with this reCAPTCHA? I already noticed that the number of CAPTCHA screens in order to get a post approved had gone up recently – but this time, I had to solve the insane number of 21 of them before Computer Said Yes.]

SMOKING MUST THEREFORE MINIMIZE THE RISK OF LUNG CANCER! Please start smoking OB.
- Comment by on The trust in scientists has hugely increased after the COVID-19 pandemic Saturday 01 April 2023: 09:04 quote “While attempts to promote acceptance of well-evidenced science have historically focused on increasing scientific knowledge, it is now thought that for acceptance of science, trust in, rather than simply knowledge of, science is foundational.” end-of-quote Therein lies the problem.
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Saturday 01 April 2023: 09:04 Give me a plain man who knows 2 + 2 anyday, rather than a fantasist such as Neil Furguson of the “we are all going to die!” persuasion.
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Saturday 01 April 2023: 08:04 It seems that the only thing that switches folks off from vaccines is getting a bad hit. Nothing else will do it. During the whole of 2020, I was out buying organic whole veg for my Gerson-style-regimen and never even got a cold, nor did I or any of my family notice anything untoward either. One of them works in a supermarket with 300 employees and when half a dozen of them took ill with “covid” – it was quite a thing, in the whole year. I got my first cold in early 2022, twice, each one lasted a week, which was out of the blue because since taking 10g – 20g of ascorbic acid in divided doses daily, all my nasal problems had cleared up and I never got colds (since 2018). My guess is that those were SARS-Cov-2 ? Although I never had a bad experience with any vaccines, my terminal cancer taught me a ton of stuff e.g. read the small print, hence I never had a covid shot – and since then, no flu shots either.
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Saturday 01 April 2023: 07:04 @Old Bob Rasmussen Polls … Ah yes, science by public poll, what a wonderful idea! Sorry Old Bob, but Americans – especially Republicans – are known for believing the stupidest things. Polls like this tell us nothing about vaccines and everything about the (severe lack of) knowledge among Americans. And of course all this tells us that you too aren’t exactly the brightest bulb in the chandelier – especially given the fact that most of your comments are regurgitated verbatim from other ill-informed anti-vaccine sources. Still, it’s good entertainment – although I sometimes feel a bit ashamed, marvelling at other people’s lack of brains …
- Comment by on Pranic Healing revisited … no, it’s not a hoax Saturday 01 April 2023: 02:04 I have been a Pranic healer for many years. I know it works on healing short term mostly. I believe the work on the original healing techniques is very useful. I find discrepancies in some of the other teachings and use the Super Market Approach espoused by MCKS “You don’t buy everything in the store, get what you need”. It’s a great resource if you want to be a healer! You can stop at that level and review for a discounted fee if you need. Master Co has free Mediations 6 times a week on Facebook. He never says just believe me, he can be quite rough and sometimes judgmental but sometimes people need that to change. My testimony is proof with just basic classes you can heal. I was working in a rehab and my unit secretary was having vertigo. My manager knew I took a healing class and asked if I could help. I just happened to have the advanced Pranic Healing book in my car. I didn’t know if there was a protocol for vertigo. I ran down to my car and checked and ran in to do the healing. I wheeled my unit secretary into the med room and closed the door. I opened the book and followed the protocol like a cookbook. When I was done she was able to stand up and walk out of the med room. The healing lasted for about 3 months before she had to take her meds. That sold on the effectiveness of Pranic Healing. I’m not sure about all the other teachings and classes.
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Saturday 01 April 2023: 00:04 @Old Bob Thanks for the link, I had not viewed it. Very interesting statistics. I’d like to see a larger study pool. That said, Rasmussen is quite reliable. Some answer responses in polls can get blurred by anomalies, specifics of covid deaths also and can be confusing. People dying with covid buy not from covid and such. I had a friend that was seven weeks in the hospital fighting covid, he beat the covid infection. Sadly, a couple weeks later he died from a staph infection. But many people said he died from covid-19. The statistics on the percentage of deaths being attributed by family members to the vaccine is not surprising to me. Even though the 10% number is much higher than many would accept, I am not surprised. I have previously posted here that the mRNA spike protein floating and circulating in the bodies and blood after subsequent jabs is too high. The numbers of patients carrying mRNA spike protein in their system for up to 28 days after vaccination is at the 9.3% level (study from Denmark). This was discovered by testing the blood of those patients jabbed with mRNA vaccines weeks after injection while doing a test of HIV patients’ blood. This is not to be confused with mRNA spike protein from the virus because the spike protein from the virus identifies completely different from the spike protein in the mRNA vaccination. It is believed that this 9.3 % segment of vaccinated patients are largely the patients that are experiencing most of the dangerous side effects of the mRNA vaccines…. killing some. We were initially told that the half-life of the mRNA spike protein was only one day, this is simply not the case. Dr Malone warned of this issue in 2020. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=mrna+spike+protein++in+blood+too+long&&view=detail&mid=706CBAA8F576520DB3A7706CBAA8F576520DB3A7&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dmrna%2520spike%2520protein%2520%2520in%2520blood%2520too%2520long%26qs%3Dn%26form%3DQBVR%26%3D%2525eManage%2520Your%2520Search%2520History%2525E%26sp%3D-1%26lq%3D0%26pq%3Dmrna%2520spike%2520protein%2520%2520in%2520blood%2520too%2520lon%26sc%3D1-36%26sk%3D%26cvid%3DA17C1D0AFEC741DCB0A990BBBD9ABF0F%26ghsh%3D0%26ghacc%3D0%26ghpl%3D
- Comment by on CHARLES, THE ALTERNATIVE PRINCE Friday 31 March 2023: 21:03 Leonard Sugarman, are you in the UK? If not, I think it is probably difficult to appreciate the reach and influence of “the establishment”. It is subtle, and probably rather hidden, but powerful indeed.

- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Friday 31 March 2023: 16:03 MP Bridgend presents MHRA data on Covid vaccines to parliament which gets ignored by MPs and most of the media. His opinions without evidence can be deconstructed. So therefore can’t his data be deconstructed ? However nothing happens after his speech so rumours are rife. Anti Vaxx sentiments gets a massive boost. More people then go on social media get hooked on conspiracies and subequently associate various health problems with Covid vaccines. They assume causality and believe conspiacies as to why Bridgen was not heard and brought to task by MPs and the media other than by a Gov minister who had to be there. He didnt address the presented MHRA data either. No wonder the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme have had to increased staff from 4 to 80. Why doesnt the Gov and scientific research community nail Bridgend and his data with evidence rather than just ignore him?
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Friday 31 March 2023: 16:03 @DC 20 million? Sorry, my mistake – that’s what happens when stooping to Old Bob’s level … But no, I had this 20 million number in my head from the number of vaccine-prevented deaths that I mentioned in a comment yesterday, where I also mentioned 6.7 million actual deaths. Somehow I mixed up the numbers. Anyway, thanks for spotting it, I really like to have my facts straight!
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Friday 31 March 2023: 15:03 Well Old Bob, you really found your inner zen there. Happiness and guilt the measures of reality! However you did remind me of the definition of a philosopher, I think from Tom Lehrer. “A philosopher is someone who likes giving advice to anyone happier than he is”. Thanks for the laugh.
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Friday 31 March 2023: 15:03 you wouldn’t know the science if it bid you in the arse.
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Friday 31 March 2023: 14:03 @Socrates Sure, “[Motivation is the master of reason, always, it’s never the other way round]” – so we each and everyone, have the same problem of self-certification – if our reference is wrong, we cannot know it? Yes we can! Nature provides two clues: guilt and happiness – the less the former and the more the latter, the closer in agreement we are with reality. If someone is more unhappy, then they take out their guilt on others with hatred. It’s that simple.
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Friday 31 March 2023: 14:03 @Socrates lol, Old Bob is not the only anti-vaxer here at this forum. The problem with your anti-vax label is that it is inaccurate. Many here (and among the world) are not complete antivaxxers. The covid pandemic created many “anti-vaxers” than ever existed previously. I for one am NOT an anti-vaxer, as many here label me. I do oppose a overly rigorous childhood vaccine schedule as used by the USA. I do oppose mRNA vaccines, and other covid vaccines that have proven harmful due to lack of proper testing. I do not oppose all vaccines. This phenomenon of “anti-vax” growth was largely a result of a combination of events. Today more patients are skeptical of vaccines than prior to the pandemic. The skepticism exists largely due to a few factors. EUA is still being used as a cover for the pharma industry, I look for more EUA to occur in the future unfortunately. Another factor is mRNA, most patients don’t completely trust the science, and why should they ? …. more patients have been damaged via covid vaccines than ever previously experienced. Beyond that, the vaccines are not effective enough for the average to patient. Nobody wants to get jabbed every six months. Government mandates, tyrannical authoritarians (Canada) using emergency powers to punish citizens. Government reps like Anthony Fauci, CDC WHO and the likes flip-flopping on their covid policies. Government choosing big business over small businesses. “Conspiracy theories” that turned into conspiracy facts. All of these factors have contributed to the general public having lost confidence in government and government policies pushing vaccines. I am anti mRNA vaccines…. at least for now, until the science can prove them safe and effective.
- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Friday 31 March 2023: 13:03 I do admire your patience and persistence in setting out the facts to counter the nonsense from Old Bob and others but of course you know as well as I do that it is absolutely futile. His views are not based on facts or evidence – the view forms first and is then followed by the attempt to find or manufacture ‘evidence’. Some go farther and deny the validity of evidence or the existence of facts, they witter on about a new post scientism paradigm. It must be tempting to give up because you will never persuade the Old Bobs of this world. But unless their claims are constantly rebutted there is the risk that they will infect others who would otherwise be open to reason. Perhaps most readers of this site have already made up their minds one way or the other. But that’s why I make a point of always responding to anti vaxxer claims in the letters page of our local paper, where the more general readership probably includes more of the undecided.

- Comment by on The plastic surgeon who turned fraudulent anti-vaxer Friday 31 March 2023: 11:03 The General Dynamics IT contract initially cost 35.4 million dollars and included this IV. Description of work: “…is expected to be 1,000 reports per day, with up to 40% of the reports serious in nature.” Here is an extract from the First monthly report: First report 25th January 2021: “Two vaccines have been released since the last report. Since the release the number of incoming COVID-19 reports has significantly exceeded the estimated 1,000 reports per day (per the chart below). As a result, GDIT is unable to meet the processing and other timeframes (data processing, telephone inquiries, clinical inquiries, etc). GDIT has reached out for the Program office and OAS for guidance and support.” 19:00 Next report February 25th 2021: “…There continues to be record setting metrics in multiple categories including: Number of incoming reports: 76,067 Number of Web reports received: 54,684 (most of them Covid-19 reports) Number of website visits: 1,555,875 Number of inquiries by (phone, etc): 14,857 … 2. IT Activities Expand the VAERS-IDs in all six extracts to support a 7-digit field Updated the COVID excel sheet deliverables application to include additional symptom codes. …” 20:00 Third report 25th March 2021: “…there continues to be record setting metrics in multiple categories… Although staf processed over 40,000 reports in February, a record high, they are unable to keep up with the increased surge in reports at current staffing levels. A contract modification, to provide for surge and backlog remediation, should be issued in March 2021.,.” And then it gets worse…
