Straight to the point

Having tried to contain the COVID-19 epidemic for two years, it is clear from the scientific literature that the measures adopted globally have failed. Indeed, there is no compelling evidence supporting lockdown restrictions, social distancing, mask mandates, or vaccine mandates. 

As healthcare professionals we therefore demand:

1. An immediate halt to all COVID-19 policy measures and mandates. 
2. An immediate review of policies and procedures adopted under the guise of the COVID-19 emergency measures.
3. An immediate review of all policymaking and regulatory bodies, and task groups involved in COVID-19 policy recommendations and mandates. 
4. Establishment of a mechanism to hold accountable those individuals involved in the promulgation, implementation and enforcement of COVID-19 policies, procedures and mandates. 

When the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, many countries began to adopt a no-negotiation policy and enforced policies and medical management based upon biased data distributed from limited sources and from a selected group of institutions. Despite these institutions constantly wavering in their narrative and experiencing discord within their own panels, governments, policy makers, regulators and medical advisors chose to follow and impose this narrative on nations. This has had devastating economic repercussions and undermined trust in the medical profession. 

The economic repercussions of the COVID-19 policies will be felt for years to come. The monetary costs of measures taken to prevent the spread of the virus have outweighed the costs of  the direct effects of the virus itself. The gap between the economic classes has widened considerably, with a minority of selected stakeholders enjoying exponential increases in wealth, while the majority of people endure the effects of economic devastation.  

A relationship of trust between doctor and patient should be at the core of Medicine. But, despite some physicians and medical groups having developed effective early treatment protocols for COVID-19 using approved, well-established medicines, governments, policy makers, regulators and medical advisors chose to suppress and even criminalize the use of these effective medicines in the management and care of patients. They also chose to enforce questionable medical protocols that resulted in the deaths of numerous individuals. This included prescribing Midazolam for care home patients in Britain, and Remdesivir and intubation for hospital patients in the USA. 

At the same time as effective early treatments were being suppressed, candidate mRNA ‘vaccines’ were rushed to market under emergency use authorization. Despite being inadequately tested, these novel and unconventional gene-based injections are being forced on populations through mandates and coercion. While they are constantly touted as ‘safe and effective’, it is clear that these injections are failing, with boosters now being required, and unprecedented numbers of adverse reactions, including deaths, being reported. It is our contention that the governments, policy makers, regulators and medical advisors responsible for the response to COVID-19 have been provoking genocide. 

The following two sections of this document present:

1. A summary of what we now know about the COVID-19 epidemic, most of which has been suppressed by governments, corporations, international agencies and the media.

2. A comprehensive list of references in which the evidence for these statements may be found.

This is the evidence upon which we base our demands for a halt to the COVID-19 measures, a thorough review of these measures, and the holding to account of those who have perpetrated and profited from these measures.

 

Section 1: The COVID-19 situation, February 2022

According to evidence-based literature and comparative analysis we know the following:

1. COVID-19 Vaccine mandates:

• Do not prevent viral transmission;
• Do not prevent infection; and
• Do not statistically reduce hospitalization or all-risk death.
• The long-term safety profile is still unknown.
• There is growing evidence that COVID-19 vaccines reduce immunogenicity, or the eliciting of an immune response.

2. Natural immunity vs. vaccine-induced immunity:

• Natural immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is vastly superior to immunity provided by vaccination.
• Any recommendation that those who have already been infected with SARS-CoV-2 should receive the vaccine contradicts evidence-based medicine.
• Data shows that herd immunity has been reached, resulting in a decline in infections.

3. Therapeutic protocols and interventions in COVID-19 therapy:

• Multiple reports provide evidence that early therapeutic intervention results in excellent outcomes after COVID-19 infection.

4. The PCR test:

• The PCR test that was mandated globally as a form of screening for COVID-19 produced a high percentage of false positive results.
• There was no basis for this decision as the PCR test does not isolate the pathogen.
• The PCR test yields a particularly high percentage of false positive results in asymptomatic individuals. This is consistent with a previously well-known observation in Epidemiology that tests done on asymptomatic individuals have low positive predictive value.
• The PCR test is unable to distinguish between SARS-CoV-2 and other viral infections such as influenza and the common cold.

5. Asymptomatic transmission:

• There is no evidence that asymptomatic people are drivers of transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
• There is no evidence of benefits of isolating asymptomatic people who have a positive PCR test for COVID-19.

6. The risk of COVID-19 in children:

• The majority of children infected with COVID-19 have very mild symptoms.
• The majority of children who test positive for COVID-19 are asymptomatic.
• There is no data demonstrating asymptomatic transmission or transmission of COVID-19 from children.
• Many other respiratory agents affect children to a higher degree than SARS-CoV-2.

7. Overreporting and exaggeration of COVID-19 deaths in hospital:

• There is evidence that hospitalization and mortality rates from COVID-19 have been grossly overestimated in most countries. This is due to basing estimates solely on PCR testing, while disregarding the etiology or cause of the clinical condition, comorbidities, and grounds for admission to hospital.

8. Lockdown measures:
The global lockdown of communities, including isolating healthy individuals, curfews, social distancing, and mask mandates, have not been proven effective at reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection; there is no statistical benefit of lockdown measures in curtailing COVID-19 infection.

 

Based on the observations above, our directive to governments, policy makers, regulators and the medical fraternity is the immediate termination of all COVID-19 policies, including mandates, vaccine passports, segregation, and discrimination based on an individual’s health or vaccination status.
