Following on from our inaugural Progress through Science and Freedom conference held in November – for which video-recordings are now freely available here – ASF is delighted to be organising our next in-person event, “New Directions in Health,” to be held on Easter Monday (April 1st) at UNSW Sydney – with special guest John Campbell (who also recently released an inspirational interview of ASF’s Ros Nealon-Cook about the Lighthouse Declaration), visiting from the UK. Tickets available here, with a discount available for ASF members.
We hope to be announcing more in-person events in the near future.
Meanwhile, over the past couple of months, ASF board member Julie Sladden appeared as a witness at the Covid-19 Royal Commission Terms of Reference Senate hearing in Canberra, working in concert with a well-organised contingent from the whole resistance and restoration community in Australia led by Julian Gillespie. ASF’s wide base of expertise is being further called upon in our collective written responses to Questions on Notice posed at that hearing, which may eventually be used as fodder for a citizens’ covid inquiry in Australia, similar to what is being set up in New Zealand. ASF’s Richard Kelly gave a thoughtful interview with Jason Olbourne on TNT Radio, the SMH began a series of pieces looking somewhat critically at covid-era policies, and the Australian mainstream media even picked up a recent win in the Queensland Supreme Court against vax mandates that triumphed on a technicality, having included the opinion that such mandates were “reasonable”. More smiles on the legal front came from a South Australian tribunal decision in favour of employer compensation for a victim of side effects of the employer-mandated vax – even in the presence of a state directive – and the legal rejection on appeal of the New Zealand Defence Force vax mandate. Also here in Oz, OpenDAEN opened and the Senate just approved an inquiry into Australia’s excess deaths.
Recent work of interest from the academic press:
- A heavily downloaded but then retracted article by Mead et al (with Peter McCullough and Steve Kirsch as coauthors) reviewing the risk-benefit profile of the covid shots and concluding they should be pulled from human use, which was discussed in this livestream by a brave doctor who once strongly supported the shots but now regrets her prior actions
- A social scientific review of opinions about the vax mandates
- A critical analysis of the covid shot RCTs
- Confirmation that mRNA material from the covid shots can be transmitted from a vaccinated pregnant mother to the placenta and umbilical cord
- A review of covid boosters’ effects on the immune response of immunocompromised people
- Yet another paper linking cardiac-related deaths to the covid shots, this time using autopsy data, and a study of adverse events based on a huge sample size (the latter of which was even briefly covered in the mainstream press)
- More evidence that “non-pharmaceutical interventions” (like lockdowns) had nary an impact on the progress of covid infection
Moving to international news in brief, a Florida grand jury called out those NPIs as a bad idea, the Slovak PM committed publicly to a critical review of covid-related phenomena, Canadian PM Trudeau’s invocation of emergency powers to quell the trucker protest was declared unlawful (reasoning here), Tucker Carlson interviewed Steve Kirsch, and France went backward on human rights while Germany exonerated a self-described “free speech absolutist”. Also of note is a debunking of fact-checking, an open letter from UK doctors calling for a suspension of covid boosters and an investigation of excess deaths, a judgement compelling the US CDC to release free-form answers to the V-Safe system in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, and the continuing US Congressional hearing about side effects of the covid shots (while when questioned, Anthony Fauci appeared to suffer acute sudden-onset amnesia). The FLCCC is trialling a new “community boards” platform.
Finally, a colourful review of the UK covid inquiry’s findings about the media’s role in the madness of the covid era, plus a new book to add to the tail end of your summer reading list.
