Kate Bingham reinvented as a mad scientist...
...with Dominic Cummings egging her on
Recap on earlier post
Subscribers may remember this video posted a few days ago, where Kate Bingham, first to Chair UKs Vaccine Task Force, expressed some rather worrying thoughts on the SARS-CoV-2 injections.
This is a paraphrase of some of what she had to say:
Accepting the post
Dame Bingham tells the audience that she had known Sir Patrick Vallance for a long time, since they both worked in the pharmaceutical industry. It was he who approached her to head up the task force. Declaring she knew nothing about vaccines, Sir Patrick’s response was that “no-one did”, when it came to SARS-CoV-2.
That persuaded her to accept the post.
The early steps
Then her foot was firmly put down, demanding she report directly to the Prime Minister (PM) and that she should have carte blanch in decision-making (remember I am paraphrasing here, please refer to the video for the exact translation).
Dame Bingham immediately set up an Investment Committee, drawing on her experience as a venture capitalist in biotech and pharma. This Committee would identify the spending required to get the vaccines going, but only Government Ministers could approve the spending.
An early decision by the Committee was to sanction the spending for scale-up activities, BEFORE knowing the vaccines were ‘safe and effective’. This ‘kick-arse’ team (her words not mine) decided to scale-up production of vaccines to commercial (massive) quantities, without knowing if they could produce safe and effective vaccines for much smaller quantities of clinical trial supplies.
This was my riposte:
Where was the safety testing of the scaled-up batches?
Even if they had known the clinical trial batches had been proven safe and effective, they would still have needed to put the scaled-up batches through extensive safety testing again, at the larger scale, to prove there had been no change in the compound’s molecular structure (known as a polymorph). A polymorph can turn what was a safe medicine (eg vaccine), into a toxic one - that is well known across the industry.
There is no further indication in the speech of the degree of safety testing that was carried out on any batches intended for administration in humans.
This is a red flag in terms of the safety of all the SARS-CoV-2 injections, and should be investigated further, in my expert opinion.
Clearly, we have a lady here with a very cavalier attitude towards the safety of medicines.
