ASHA Agreement: Call for immediate suspension of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine
More than 41 thousand doctors, scientists and concerned citizens from all sectors around the world have called for an immediate suspension of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. They have signed the Hope Accord in July 2024 Hope Accord has signed a document called which calls for the following measures with justification-
1. Immediate suspension of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine products.
A growing body of evidence suggests suggests This suggests that the widespread dissemination of new COVID-19 mRNA vaccine products is contributing to a worrying increase in disability and excess deaths. The observed relationship between vaccine rollout and these concerning trends is now supported by additional important findings. These include the discovery of potential biological mechanisms of harm demonstrated in laboratory and autopsy studies, as well as the high rates of adverse events observed in randomized clinical trials and national surveillance programs. Overall, these observations indicate a causal relationship.
2. Comprehensive re-evaluation of the safety and efficacy of all COVID-19 vaccine products
Independent investigations should be conducted to allow for a comprehensive re-evaluation of all COVID-19 vaccine products.
The mechanisms of harm must be fully explored to provide insight into both short-term and long-term effects on the human body. Effectiveness must be re-evaluated through a comprehensive review of the actual clinical impact on morbidity and mortality, as opposed to synthetic results based on modelling assumptions.
The agreement also calls on the scientific community to come forward with findings from unpublished COVID-19 vaccine studies. This will help reduce publication bias, whereby unfavorable results are often denied or withheld for fear of reputational damage. Crucially, government bodies and the pharmaceutical industry must also provide full transparency, providing access to previously undisclosed patient-
Level data from clinical trials and surveillance programs.
These cumulative actions will help determine the true extent of any real-world benefits versus harms these products may cause.
This new technology was given emergency use authorization to deal with a condition that no longer exists. Moving forward, the burden of proof falls on those still advocating for these products to demonstrate that they are not causing net harm. Until such evidence is presented, regulators should suspend their use as a standard medical precaution.
3. Immediate identification and assistance of vaccine-injured person
Denying vaccine injury is a betrayal of those who follow official instructions, often under pressure from mandates restricting their access to work, education, travel, hospitality and sport. The vaccine-injured must be identified and every effort made to understand their conditions. Support should include easily accessible multidisciplinary clinics that offer investigations and treatment as well as fair compensation for all those who have suffered harm.
4. Restoration of ethical principles abandoned during the Covid-19 pandemic
Fundamental and cherished principles of medical ethics were disregarded on the grounds of emergency. These include: 'first do no harm', informed consent, bodily autonomy and the assumption that adults protect children. While the precautionary principle was inverted. Also, of particular concern was the erosion of free speech – a democratic principle that underpins the ability to question untested interventions while upholding other principles. The result was that the public, particularly healthy young people – including children – were being exposed to unacceptable risks of harm.
Emergencies are never a reason to abandon our principles; it is precisely at such times that we depend on them the most. Only by acknowledging that they were wrongly abandoned can we commit to upholding them consistently and, in doing so, better protect future generations.
5. Addressing the root cause of our current predicament
The medical profession must move forward by acknowledging that we have lost our way. By drawing attention to these medical and ethical issues surrounding the COVID-19 response, we hope to validate and amplify calls to establish the relevant facts and ensure that important lessons are learned. An honest and thorough investigation is needed, including those root causes that may be responsible for the disease. root causes We need to address the challenges that have led us to this place, including institutional groupthink, conflicts of interest and the suppression of scientific debate. We ultimately want a renewed commitment to the core principles of ethical medicine, returning to an era in which we strive for transparency, accountability and responsible decision-making in the fields of medicine and public health.
The Hope Agreement reflects concerns raised by the Perseus document, submitted to UK MPs, policymakers and health bureaucrats in April 2023, almost a year ago.
More than a year ago in April 2023, Perseus Report Perseus Report Treatment, It was prepared by a multi-disciplinary team of experts from various fields, including safety management and pharmaceutical regulation. It was intended to bring the attention of politicians and policy makers to the serious shortcomings in the current regulatory system for drug approval in general and COVID-19 vaccines in particular, and the significant safety issues that result from it.
The Perseus report blamed the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which is responsible for ensuring the safety and efficacy of medicines in the UK, for failing this duty in a number of ways, despite previous warnings of inadequate regulations published in government reports during Covid-19. There was no requirement for manufacturers to demonstrate adequate safety before or after approval.
The Perseus report also criticised approval for younger age groups and children in the absence of long-term safety data, despite negligible likelihood of benefit.
The report also found a failure to act promptly on evidence of adverse events, to rigorously assess safety evidence and share it publicly to enable informed consent. It also noted a failure to identify and address problems with manufacturing and quality control.
UHO fully supports all the concerns in both the Hope Accord and the Perseus Report. These are important issues that no honest scientist or concerned citizen can suppress. UHO wants people to be aware of these concerns and wants them to ask questions to lawmakers and policymakers. The largest democracy should not let its people down.
New England Journal of Medicine recommends monitoring vaccine safety after authorization
Echoing the concerns in the OpenAccord and Perseus reports, the leading medical journal, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), called for funding of post-authorization vaccine safety science funding of post-authorization vaccine safety science A perspective in the journal says post-authorization studies are needed to fully map the safety profile of a new vaccine because pre-authorization clinical trials have small sample sizes, short follow-up and population diversity. It believes that people want mitigation and prevention of rare serious side effects that no longer seem rare when large numbers of people are vaccinated. The first step to solving a problem is to admit that there is a problem. The UHO believes that the admission by a leading medical journal that there may be problems in COVID-19 vaccines, which requires proper research, is a good sign.
The article goes a step further and is calling for post-authorization studies for all vaccines, including those routinely given in childhood.
Currently in the United States, when the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends a new routine vaccine, the only automatic statutory resource allocations that follow are for vaccine procurement by Vaccines for Children (VFC) and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Although ACIP acknowledges the need, there are currently no resources set aside for post-authorization safety studies beyond annual appropriations, which must be approved by Congress each year.
India's health budget has fallen to pre-pandemic levels
If our government was serious about the health of our people, the budget allocation for public health would have been expected to increase. Surprisingly, even after accounting for the expenditure on COVID-19 vaccines in the years 2020-21 (Rs 10,655 crore) and 2021-22 (Rs 15,955 crore), health spending during these years is much lower than it should have been. It is expected to remain at the level of 2.4% of total budget expenditure in 2018-19. The health budget as a percentage of total budget is expected to decline from 2.4% in 2018-19 to 1.9% in 2023-24 health budget has shrunk from 2.4% in 2018-19 to 1.9% in 2023-24 It is done.
A Norwegian study identified mental health problems among adolescents due to quarantine.
A Norwegian study study found that adolescents experienced mental health problems during the COVID-19 quarantine. The study concludes that targeted support strategies are needed to focus on adolescents' well-being during similar crises in the future. Such adolescents may be at increased risk of persistent mental health problems and may require ongoing support.
UHO believes the study states the obvious. Unnatural measures never seen in public health history have caused mental illness not only in adolescents but in all age groups., Social and emotional problems are likely to arise. These measures have fragmented the society fractured society have been done and should not be repeated again. Unfortunately, The paper does not recommend this but rather advises support for teens who may face a similar plight in the future.
