The serious-adverse-event signal found in the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA Covid-19 vaccine trials has been in the peer-reviewed literature for nearly four years. Mainstream media outlets, on the rare occasions they address it, have treated it not as evidence to be weighed but as misinformation to be managed — dismissed on the authority of experts without relevant expertise, or simply ignored. A recent BBC Radio 4 broadcast is a near-textbook example.
The broadcast aired on Everything Is Fake and Nobody Cares, a BBC Radio 4 series hosted by Jamie Bartlett, whose stated purpose is to ask why, in so much of modern life, fakery is no longer punished but rewarded. It is a reasonable question. The most direct answer the series has produced to date appears inside one of its own episodes.
In the episode in question, Bartlett devoted his broadcast to Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Covid-19 vaccine safety. As part of that segment, he aired a specific claim about a peer-reviewed paper I led, published in the journal Vaccine in September 2022. To evaluate Dr. Malhotra’s on-air statements, Bartlett brought in Dr. Vicky Male, a reproductive immunologist at Imperial College London. Dr. Male told listeners that the authors of the paper had been “specifically told to make it clear this paper should not be used” to support the kinds of claims Dr. Malhotra was making.
EXERCISE: * Lift upper back, shoulders, chest @ gym * Walk-about 20 min on campus * Push heavy cart outdoors 15 min * Powerwalk 1hr 45min outdoors
WATER: (2) × (32) = 64 oz (+)
EATS: * gfo smoothie (kale, banana, blueberries, mango, few raw almonds, water) * veggie sub sandwich (see ingredients in image above) * brown basmati Spanish veggie rice, black beans w/ onion, cilantro, tomato, Mediterranean chopped salad w/ avocado * plain sparkling water w/ a shot of soft XL-drink

Dr Anthony Fauci‘s top former aide has been indicted for conspiracy against the US after he allegedly concealed and falsified information to suppress alternative theories of COVID-19‘s origins.
EATS: * gfo smoothie (kale, strawberries, banana, beet powder, alma powder, few raw almonds, water) * sandwich (avocado, tomato, Mediterranean chopped salad, thinly sliced raw almonds, all on whole wheat sourdough toast) * five small bbq XL-chips * mac & greens bowl * 2 pieces of homemade lowfat PB fudge * small XL-icee beverage
… SUN HAS SET …
Cmmt: XL indicates uncommonly excessive food, and wautéed means water-sautéed
* 2 cups Brown Basmati Rice (rinsed well) * 14.5 oz can Chopped Tomatoes (with liquid) * 3 cups Water * 3 tsp Better Than Bouillon (mixed into the water) * 8.2 oz bag Frozen Mixed Mexican Veggies * 1 bag Frozen Onion & Peppers mix * ½ cup Frozen Shelled Edamame * Optional: A pinch of cumin or chili powder if you want to lean into those Spanish flavors.
Instructions
1. Prep the Base: Rinse your 2 cups of brown basmati in a fine-mesh strainer until the water is clear. 2. Mix the Liquid: Stir the 3 teaspoons of Better Than Bouillon into the 3 cups of water until dissolved. 3. Load the Cooker: Add the rinsed rice, the bouillon water, the full can of tomatoes, and all the frozen veggies (Mexican mix, onion/peppers, and edamame) into the rice cooker pot. 4. The Stir: Mix everything thoroughly. Make sure the rice isn’t clumped at the bottom so it cooks evenly with the moisture from the vegetables. 5. Cycle: Set the rice cooker to the “Brown Rice” setting. 6. The “Must-Do” Rest: Once the timer goes off, let the rice sit—lid closed—for 10–15 minutes. This ensures the brown basmati and edamame reach the perfect tender texture. 7. Serve: Fluff gently with a fork or paddle to distribute the colorful veggies.
A Quick Tip: If you notice the rice is a bit “wet” at the end, just leave the lid off for 2 minutes after fluffing to let the excess steam escape.
Yields: 6 or 7 cups
Recommendation: Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with black beans on the side.
By Edward M. Wagner and Sylvia Goldfarb – 30 Q&As – Book Summary
The body is not a machine that breaks down and requires a mechanic. It is a self-repairing system that deteriorates only when deprived of the raw materials it needs or overwhelmed by substances it was never designed to process. That distinction — between a body that fails and a body that has been failed — is the foundation of everything in this book. Dr. Edward Wagner came to this understanding not through academic theory but through necessity. His parents and brother died of heart disease. Orthodox medicine had not saved them. He applied the problem-solving discipline of his architectural career to a different kind of structure — the human body — and discovered that the same principle holds: identify what is missing, supply it, remove what is causing damage, and the structure restores itself.
What follows is an encyclopedia organized around that principle. Fifty-eight conditions are covered, from acne to yeast infections, each examined through the same lens: what the condition actually is, what causes the tissue to deteriorate, what orthodox medicine does about it, why that approach often creates new problems, and what nutritional and alternative methods can do to address the cause rather than suppress the symptom. The pattern that emerges across these entries is striking in its consistency. Medications block bodily functions without rebuilding tissue. The blocking action produces side effects on other systems. New medications are prescribed for the side effects. The patient accumulates prescriptions while the original deficiency deepens. Wagner documents this cycle with specific biochemical detail — which vitamins are depleted by which drugs, which minerals are excreted by which treatments, which organ systems are compromised by which procedures — turning what could be an abstract critique into a practical reference.
The book is written for the person who senses that something is wrong with the way chronic disease is managed but lacks the specific knowledge to articulate what. It does not require a science background. Each chapter is short, direct, and organized so that a reader dealing with a specific condition can find actionable information without wading through technical literature. The dietary recommendations, supplement protocols, herbal remedies, and amino acid therapies are presented with dosages and explanations of their biochemical function. Case histories demonstrate the outcomes in real patients who exhausted conventional options before finding resolution through nutritional methods. This is not a book that asks the reader to reject medicine. It is a book that asks the reader to understand what medicine does and does not do — and to recognize that the body, when given what it actually needs, already knows how to heal.
