Thank you, Hedley Rees, your writing, including here on Substack, has made a difference. Your supply chain and general industry expertise and your forthright courage have been both practically useful— and will be in the future— and are also inspiring in these dark times. Your decision to move on makes sense to me, and I wish you all the very best in your endeavors. I do not doubt that you will continue to be an important positive influence in the pharmaceutical industry, and thereby for all of us.
Thanks Hedley for all you’ve done and best of luck on future endeavors! On that note, Vinay Prasad, head of biologics at FDA, put a hold on Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine stating the trials are inadequate. This is very promising and falls in line with what you’ve been saying that new leadership at FDA has been pushing back on gene based therapeutics 😊!
As ever Alison - you have your finger on the pulse! LinkedIn Pharma Idiots are crying and complaining this is not fair and he should be fired...more to come, me thinks!!!
Heartfelt thanks for everything you've done to make your specialized knowledge accessible to all of us, during a time when it was most needed, Hedley.
Your experience and insight has been most welcome, and I've found it invaluable and quite a bit of it applicable to other industries, including my own.
Best wishes to you moving forward. Much as I am a 'nature to the core' person myself I recognise there will always be the need for standardised chemicals for a great many folks and we need to ensure the supply chains are carefully monitored . We need all the conscientious ethical folks we can find !! ❤️
…just to add that I’m also a ‘nature to the core’ person, Yeowoman, just like you. Allopathic medicine (as they call it) has been a complete disaster for the world. This is taken from my latest Wiley book:
“Underpinning Principles of the New Paradigm
The suggested approach begins with the assumption that a person is a hugely complex system, the internal workings of which are way beyond our understanding. Health is determined by the body that Mother Nature bestowed upon us at birth. The less interference there is with Mother Nature’s creation, the better. If illness does come our way, the body has its own way of dealing with it in the majority of cases, if left to its own devices. Hence, the doctor’s Hippocratic Oath: “Primum non nocere” or “First, do no harm.”
We assume that a clinician’s role is to focus initially on maintaining the health and well-being of prospective patients, aimed at preventing health issues. If a person’s health does not appear to be resolved by the body, diagnosis of a possible illness is the next stage. The quality of that diagnosis rests with the clinicians and the diagnostic tools available to them. The importance of advances in the diagnosis of disease is therefore paramount. A remedy for a patient is useless if they do not know they have a condition that needs medical attention.
Following diagnosis of a health condition, doctors normally have treatment alternatives. If the diagnosis uncovers a lack of one or more vitamins or minerals, then a functional medicine route would likely be most appropriate. That will allow a treatment regimen to be identified and the patient’s progress monitored. An excellent text that covers this topic in depth is The Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Functional Illnesses [2].
If intervention with a medicine is considered appropriate, the clinician might suggest an over-the-counter remedy, or prescription drug. The drug may be licensed to be used for the indication, or it could be prescribed off-label if the clinician believes a drug could be effective, based on clinical experience (off-label means that the drug is not approved for the indication).
The clinician is most likely to prescribe a drug off-label if it has a long and strong history of safety. As happened during COVID, off-label prescribing of existing generic small molecule products, such as Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, became widespread, but these products were not approved for the indication. That would prevent many clinicians from having sufficient confidence to copy peers prescribing off-label. However, a clinician may have a database of real-world data and evidence to support the decision. That evidence could be a valuable resource for other clinicians and could lead to a previously unknown treatment being available under product license.”
Very nice to hear :) I think the main issue comes with acute trauma when a hospital system has to literally take over for a while and use whatever painkillers, antiseptics, IV nutrition etc are vital for survival . In such an instance we really rely on a trustworthy system .. No point kidding ourselves we dont, so these graded decision making systems are really important. Thanks for going beyond the call of duty to help us.
Exactly - anaesthetic gasses and related products, pain relief etc etc are all embedded in the pharma industry- and as you say, even for ‘natural’ products, they must be manufactured to the correct standards 👌
Thank you very much for what you have done. Your efforts have been very much appreciated. You have a strong moral compass. I have a lot of respect for you standing up to say what you believe is right even though it would be difficult and cost a lot in time and emotional energy. I wish you all the best in the future.
Thanks for your time and efforts Hedley.🙏 I hope your keeping an off- line archive of all your work too? This is a long game. There will come a time when your records will be needed to enforce accountability. Unfortunately, we are not there yet, still a few chess moves out, and the walking wounded are trying to survive, while those of us in the trenches are triaging as best we can, until more data on long-term effects come in via clinical practice.😐
Someone will come looking for your database Hedley, so keep it safe from online dilution and memory holing tactics.😉 #itsnotoveryet #longgame
I cannot state highly enough how much I appreciate you bursting on to the scene for us “laymen” to better understand the whole chain of things starting with covid. You’ve opened my eyes widely to manufacturing and processing and much more.
I admire you for your tenacity to seeking the best ways to positively impact the industry and all our future healthcare.
Good luck with your next steps. I’ll miss your newsletters though. Stay true to yourself behind those “enemy walls.” Once you walk into the sludge it has a habit of sticking. Don’t let it. ❤️
Hi Hedley. Thankyou for your contribution to our understanding of the Covid scam. Your wonderful responses to questions will be missed. Wishing you every success inside Pharma walls. Hope you manage to bring some integrity back to the industry.
One last question. Sasha Latypova suggested that the Covid shots were more synthetic than biologic, and that there should perhaps be a new category for them. In this talk 11 minutes in, to about 17 minutes. I wondered what your opinion might be on that?

Thanks Reader - it was your advice that led me to keeping my posts free - wise counsell as it turn out!
So glad!

got it Barefoot - I'm here when the time is right :O)

Wishing you all the very best, Eva
stop it, I'm filling up....:O).
this again, parting shot: https://youtu.be/JMz3OcTFEvA?si=DTEJ0SC0CXFP5W0B
Ah great thank you for the (parting) link. Hoping to see your name pop up here and there on your future journey :)
so kind of you to say, Eva - this is the beginning, not the end - it only ends when Gates is behind steel bars...
Will miss you!
Blessings
Thanks Hedley, you have increased my understanding. Can you still be contacted with specific questions? How?
Of course Brian - you are a paid subscriber and I will message you my Proton email address 👍
Our man Hedley.
Godspeed.
