SPECIAL CONSULTATION ON CORONAVIRUS VACCINATIONS EDITION

DO IT NOW Don’t Regret it later

TIME FOR ACTION LET’S HELP OURSELVES

As we leave the European Union there may be less regulation and accountability over policies that govern our food, medication, and our health.

Beware! There is a lot of information around and some of it is totally erroneous, false, and misleading.

Concern!

My people perish for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6 In this case the knowledge has been hidden in plain sight. No bright, eye-catching advertising campaign. Just reams of ‘boring’ text to discourage reading. Cloudy, slimy sentences are the first sign of bad government; plain English is always the democrat’s best defence.’ Andrew Marr, former political editor of the BBC

However, when the Government produces and publishes documents, for consultation or information, that are easily accessible online and we still miss it, that’s worrying. Therefore, it is important to subscribe to the relevant pages on the Government website - www.gov.uk It is simple. You just scroll down to the bottom of the page and subscribe to the Department of Health, Education, or Business’ emails and anything new that has been published will pop into your mailbox.

Mass Vaccinations! A real cause for concern is the introduction of a mass vaccination programme planned for this Autumn administered by people who are NOT medically trained to give the vaccine. No one will be culpable if it goes wrong. There is a consultation period (2weeks ). Read and then go ahead and comment. This has not been on the news, not on the radio. It’s there to read. If you agree or disagree with the content READ and RESPOND. By Connie Barrett, Director, Kids in Charge Limited. Transform your viewing


The 5 areas they want us to comment on

1. Temporary authorization of the supply of unlicensed products

There are no trial data as yet that confirm the risk/benefit profile of candidate vaccines, therefore it is premature to change to change existing provisions under Regulation 174 of the Human Medicines Regulations (HMRs) The UK Govt has yet to adequately evaluate other options for therapeutic treatments and prevention approaches that could be delivered under the existing legislative framework. The terms ‘safety’ and ‘effectiveness’ need to be qualified Full transparency of raw data from phase 1 to 3 clinical trials to allow independent assessment Any revisions to Regulation 174 should include a new condition in which evidence of non-disclosure of relevant data or information by manufacturers or triallists relating to quality, safety or effectiveness would represent a breach of the temporary authorisation of the unregistered vaccine.

3. Expansion to the workforce eligible to administer vaccinations

2. Civil liability

The existing provisions under Regulation 174(3) are too limited and should be clarified further The “reasonable person” should exclude persons “with an interest in placing products on the market” This is owing to inherent conflicts of interest which would reduce the likelihood of an ‘objective bystander’ view that is in the public interest

Non-disclosure, omission or errors of relevant data or information relating to quality, safety or effectiveness, whether deliberate or the result of negligence would constitute a breach in the conditions of temporary authorisation.

Administrators of vaccines are typically key providers of information required to ensure informed consent Individuals who are not authorised health care professionals have no accountability, nor is there oversight in terms of their expertise in the complex and uncertain field of vaccine science The Sideaway 1985 case [AC871] set the precedent for doctors who operated without consent of patients being guilty of the civil wrong of trespass to the person and the criminal offence of assault Providing immunity from civil liability to non-health care professionals would create scenarios in which individuals were readily deprived of fundamental human rights through lack of informed consent (The Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 2, 3, 5, 9, 14) Accordingly, proposed amendments to Regulations 229, 230, 231, 233 and 234 that seek to expand the workforce of vaccinators beyond authorised health care professionals are rejected.

4. Promoting Vaccines

Reversing the prohibition on direct-toconsumer (DTC) advertising of unlicensed medicines and vaccines would be a backwards step Mass vaccination with unlicensed vaccines during a pandemic is non-commercial activity and therefore should not include advertising Advertising involves communication of claims, yet given the experimental nature of vaccines there is great uncertainty over claims It would be wrong to provide immunity to civil liability to vaccine manufacturers allowing them to escape consumer protection laws that bind other advertisers Advertising could include deceptive messages, omission of important information and the use of aggressive sales technics which would otherwise constitute breaches of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008

It would be ethically wrong to use the pandemic to shoehorn in much wider changes that would in effect ‘Americanise’ advertising by pharmaceutical interests.

5. Provisions for wholesale dealing of vaccines It is acceptable to limit wholesale license exemption to NHS organisations, NHS contracted service providers, and the medical services of the armed forces. Source: Alliance for natural health International Transform your viewing
