Bought it - You're a deliberate and logical thinker and look forward to the book.

People don't understand supply chains and they certainly don't understand certifications. A certification is not granted based on just the formulation or design. It more importantly also looks at manufacturing, testing, and distribution. I sit in meetings discussing the certification of gas turbine propulsion systems where alternate suppliers or manufacturing locations are discussed and listen to people make sound arguments and observations on how a product can't carry a certification based on sourcing and testing shortfalls even though the design is same. These same people very quickly and willingly took the shot. They can't fathom that their expertise in certification of industrial products also can be applied to pharma or any other product. It mind-blowing. Some days I feel like I'm trapped in a hell hole full of very smart people that can't apply their intellect to at least question what they are told.

It really is staggering, isn't it! All I can think is that those people don't see medicines as physical products - they believe the hype that's been peddled for 40 years - drugs are discovered 'by accident'. - this speaks to it: https://open.substack.com/pub/hedleyrees/p/the-myth-that-is-penicillinyou-need?r=xoehy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web :O)

Thanks Ted! Where are you based? It's on Barnes & Noble:

It's on expanded distribution, so any bookshop should be able to order the paperback - why not give it a try and let me know :O)

West coast USA, Hedley, and I will take great pleasure in walking into the local Barnes & Noble to place an order. If they refuse to take the order in person, I'll have it shipped, but the store manager will be made aware of my disappointment.

Oh I’m just making an oblique reference to regulation 174 that the lawyers with their big brains are using as an umbrella term for the gov indemnified them

As mentioned Simon, I'm not a lawyer, but EU Directives seem pretty powerful legal instruments as far as I know. BTW, EMA has let all the jabber companies break the Directives too, as laid down in the Gates manual of regulatory noncompliances...

There is a guy whose first name begins with M, he is a journalist, he may contact you out of the blue.

apart from what he already did on this subject he has read the history of AZ that I provided him, filled out with your insight on how it really works, you may or may not choose to have a conversation.

At the moment the lawyers think that AZ and all the merry pharma band have a watertight case with 174 indemnity and they are concentrating as they should on what they can prove in court right now.

I will keep pushing that they understand the legal strings attached to 174 and the fun you can have manufacturing Biologics

Ah, yes, UK Medicines Act and all that. See: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eudr/2001/83/contents - UK has had to remain fully aligned with EU Legislation for Medicines even though UK has left the EU. That's to ensure UK-based companies could go on selling into EU markets post-brexit. All this stuff about UK Medicines Act is a smoke screen - EU legislation has been in place since 1995, when it was all centralised in EMA, Canary Wyharf. Bizzarly, MHRA is based there now!

The Good News Is:

We Were Fighting To Save People From The Shots.

We Don't Have To Do That Any More.

We Saved More Than We Needed To. We Saved Plenty.

Now We Are All Fighting Against Those Dumb Enough

The Dead - The Dumb- And The Suffering -

Are Now The Enemies Of The Majority.

So - Keep Beating The Living Shit Out Of Them.
