Vaccines that originated from abortion-derived cell lines

Two embryonic cell lines have been used to create COVID-19 vaccines: human embryonic kidney cells called HEK 293 and human embryonic retinal cells called PER.C6.The PER.C6 cell line is from an abortion in 1985, and the HEK 293 cell line comes from an undisclosed foetus source in about 1972.

Vaccines derived from an abortion-grown cell lines apparently include: 

AstraZeneca – AstraZeneca was developed using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute.

Where do HEK293 cells come from?

HEK stands for human embryonic kidney. The cells were obtained from the kidney of a foetus in the 1970s. The identity of the parents and foetus that HEK293 cells originated from is unknown. 

NB. Monkey cell utilisation within vaccine development has also created anxieties, for many people with concerns for animal welfare. 

Currently available vaccines have therefore been developed (or tested) utilising cell lines derived originally from aborted babies. 

It seems that allegedly anti-abortion advocates like the Pope have now hypocritically dismissed vaccine origins as irrelevant. However, many people with stronger religious convictions than him are now adamant that they want no part in a mass – vaccination program that originated in such a controversial way. 

The links above are widely available and confirm the various sources of expert information. 

End of our precious freedoms! 

I would like to say that people today can please themselves about having any vaccine or not. This is however now not the case! 

Officialdom is in fact blackmailing (i.e. forcing against their will) many people in certain careers to either have the unwanted vaccine or give up long - held jobs that they love. The reasons for not wanting vaccinations are  long and varied, and by all means not exclusive to any religious or moral concerns, as highlighted within this blog. 

Due to ongoing vaccine-mania, countless good people now face hardship following disgraceful official misuse of their precious human rights! 

International authoritarian tyranny is now well out of control! The precious liberties that our ancestors fought wars to defend have been thrown away. Nanny State censorship is now rife and open adult debate is frequently crushed. 

The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other docs give us liberty the freedom to choose. However, current draconian government diktat is now running wild and stamping on our rights. 

One way or another, if and when the apathetic and obedient public at large finally wakes up - it will most certainly all end in tears!

Spain's lockdown order was unconstitutional - what about the UK?

 

The Spanish Government was not legally able to issue a strict lockdown order last spring, the country’s Constitutional Court has ruled. The court said that the legislative tool used by Spain to impose the first national quarantine on its citizens was not the right one.

Where does this leave other countries and especially the UK?

Last year Lord Sumption conducted a lecture entitled “Government by decree - Covid-19 and the Constitution”. This gave a scornful charge not only of the political motivations and processes behind lockdown measures, but also the fundamental legality of the measures, and their effect upon the long-term health of our parliamentary democracy.

His Lordship has been dubbed one of the ‘cleverest men in Britain’ and one of the pandemic’s most prominent anti-lockdown campaigners. Lord Sumption is an author, historian and lawyer of note. He was appointed directly from the practising Bar to the Supreme Court, and served as a Supreme Court Justice from 2012-18. In 2019, he delivered the BBC Reith Lectures, "Law and the Decline of Politics", and is now a regular commentator in the media. 

Lord Sumption described the measures as being “coercive powers over citizens on a scale never previously attempted,” that have provided the government with effective control enforced by the police over the personal lives of the entire population; who people are able to meet, what they are permitted to do, and even what they are permitted to do within the privacy of their own home. These measures, he said, were effectively imposed by ministerial decree with minimal parliamentary involvement. He described them as constituting “the most significant interference with personal freedom in the history of our country,” with restrictions that have not been previously been enacted even during war time or health crises “even more serious than this one.”

UK Lockdown response - “a monument of collective hysteria and government folly.”

Although accepting the “seriousness of the epidemic,” Lord Sumption concluded that history will look back on the UK's  response as  “a monument of collective hysteria and government folly.”

How long, many people may now ask, will it be before the legal finger points at Boris Johnson's, UK Tory Government?

Are we now living in a  totalitarian, Communist, mind-controlled state like North Korea or is it getting far worse than that? 

It seems that freedom of opinion and human liberty is fast becoming a deep threat to the small-minded dictators in power.

When a junta has to go to such pathetic lengths to 'persuade' a country to tow its questionable line,  alarm bells should sound out loud in every freethinker's ears. 

I have a feeling that the stars performing for the new UK Regime will one day dearly regret their actions herein.

Vaccination schemes that were problematic

Just a few examples below that are well documented of times when vaccinations have not worked out so well. 

The Cutter Incident

 April 1955.

Over 200 000 children in five Western and mid-Western USA states had a polio vaccine in which the procedure of deactivating the live virus proved to be unreliable. 

The vaccine made by Cutter Laboratories was to blame. The company's manufacturing process did not completely kill the virus they used to make their vaccine. 

Within days there were reports of paralysis. Within a month the first mass vaccination programme against polio had to be aborted. 

Ensuing investigations revealed that the vaccine, manufactured by the California-based family firm of Cutter Laboratories, had caused 40 000 cases of polio, leaving 200 children with differing degrees of paralysis, and killing 10.

SV40 Contamination

From 1955 to 1963, an approximated 10-30% of polio vaccines administered in the US were tainted with simian virus 40 (SV40). The virus came from monkey kidney cell cultures used to make polio vaccines at that time. Most of the contamination was in the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), but it was also found in oral polio vaccine (OPV).  After the contamination was uncovered, the U.S. Government instituted testing constraints to confirm that all new lots of polio vaccines were free of SV40.

Swine Flu Vaccine 

In 1976 there was a minor increased possibility of a serious neurological disorder called Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) following vaccination with a swine flu vaccine. The increased risk was approximately 1 additional case of GBS for every 100,000 people who got the swine flu vaccine. After  40 million people were vaccinated against swine flu, federal health representatives decided that the likelihood of an association of GBS with the vaccine, however small, necessitated halting immunisation until the problem could be explored.

Rotavirus  Vaccine crisis that created bowl obstruction in toddlers. 

1998. The FDA indorsed RotaShield vaccine, the first vaccine to thwart rotavirus gastroenteritis. Soon after it was licensed, some infants developed intussusception (rare type of bowel obstruction that occurs when the bowel folds in on itself) after being vaccinated. Initially, it was not obvious if the vaccine or some additional factor was causing the bowel obstructions. CDC quickly recommended that use of the vaccine be halted and instantly started two emergency investigations to find out if receiving RotaShield vaccine was causing some of the cases of intussusception.

The conclusions of the investigations showed that RotaShield vaccine caused intussusception in some healthy infants younger than 12 months of age who normally would be at low risk for this condition. Official recommendation to vaccinate infants with RotaShield vaccine was withdrawn. The company voluntarily withdrew RotaShield from the marketplace in October 1999.

Another view below regarding vaccination of children 

Hey, Hancock, leave those kids alone!

‘Any reasonable person must understand by now that endangering the lives and futures of millions of children and young people by injecting them with novel gene therapies to prevent the spread of this comparatively run-of-the-mill virus would be not only futile but insane. These medications offer children incalculably more risks than benefits. The sensible policy would be to protect the vulnerable in whatever way they themselves think best, while offering them safe and proven treatments, should they succumb to Covid; and to call a halt to the mass testing which results in gross exaggeration of the dangers we face, and in unnecessary school closures. ‘  More…

Bumbling Boris the lovable clumsy clown: forgivable, no matter what devastation he may wreak along the way!

 

A clown can get away with anything, no matter how foolish or deceitful his actions may be. The result is that the audience will just laugh out loud, without a care in the world. 

This is of course a shrew form of mind control and when it’s applied to politics alarm bells should ring loudly in public ears, yet they don’t! 

The clever clown can get away with anything if he keeps us all laughing! 

"Now, there's a funny thing" some critics may rightly say that Boris’s traditional bumbling is fully acceptable to the subservient, well-controlled, BBC - following masses. However, I do think he fills the useful role of the old - time, music hall Cheeky Chappie character, who lampooned life while strutting about on stage. 

Everyone likes a jolly good laugh and his gawky escapades do provide some light public relief. 

Alternatively, Matt Hancock, the UK Government's minister of health propaganda and censorship, clearly tries much too hard! He's actually not funny at all! 

In reality, he comes over as an amateur spin doctor or 1970's style bully boy management boss who keeps his workers firmly in their place and stuff their concerns!  

Perhaps he was a  ‘Jonny no mates’, teacher’s pet,  who was bullied by the big boys at school. Always trying to seek praises / brownie points from his superiors and happy to grovel on all fours when the situation demanded it. The pseudo overtly stern expression, waving hands and body language are blatant indicators of an office creep who got lucky, yet the tell take signs of origin cannot be hidden! 

Today, many are wondering why this smug little autocrat has not yet been apprehended by the Plod, following what a judge recently called ‘unlawful’ action by this ambitious yet desperately unfunny little clown. 

Mr Justice Chamberlain upheld a challenge by the non-profit Good Law Project to the failure by Matt Hancock, health and social care secretary for England, to publish notices for a “substantial” number of the deals, as required by law. One rule for government top brass and of course another one for the rest of us? 

Unlike Boris, miserable little Matt needs to urgently work harder on his comedy routine if he is ever going to be the big cuddly teddy bear that the happy throng loves so much.  

Nevertheless, the little fibs pile up and become bigger ones in time it seems. Thus, I suppose to keep the well- trained public in order the laugher dial will have to be turned up a notch at Number 10. 

https://boris-johnson-lies.com/ 

Yes, the crafty old clown can get away with anything - so long as he keeps the trusting, nodding, masses in the public circus grinning like Cheshire cats! 

I fear that ongoing errors made by Number 10's despotic propaganda machine ,  currently being backed up by blanket censorship of all criticism /alternative viewpoints  may not be fully realised for years or even decades. 

By that time it will be too late; the laughter will have become tears. Future generations will be be left to pick up the pieces. 

Addendum... 

Matt the Rat proven to be the hypocrite some of us always suspected. 

Since the above was written Hancock has resigned. This came as no surprise as this apprentice clown got himself finally cornered into an untenable position. 

Matt the Mega Tory Hypocrite showing (see link below) that we can NEVER trust what self-righteous crap come out of government gobs. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyVQEUYKCHE

The bewildered prime minister is still facing tough questions about the circumstances around Matt Hancock's resignation as health secretary over an affair with his aide Gina Coladangelo. Hypocrite Hancock quit on Saturday after the couple were caught on camera fondling in his Whitehall office, breaking social distancing guidelines.

Hancock has been a staunch promotor of Covid restrictions including lockdown, social distancing and controversial mass vaccination. His fall from grace simply shows that we cannot NEVER trust such smug politicians to do the right thing, or indeed tell us the truth!

NB. How easy it is to get leaks from, what should be secure, political offices

http://pat-regan.blogspot.com/2014/10/porno-councillor-disciplined.html

Hancock broke the rules that he so loved to shout at others. Will be be prosecuted or will the establishment just turn a blind eye?   

Ironically, Matt the Rat has now proved himself a much bigger clown than his boss, Boris!  

Polite notice to all councils and their fat-cat building developer mates.

When we leave nature to its own devices and stop cutting the grass, amazing things happen.  

Wildflowers inhabit the spaces along with shrubs, trees, and various wild grasses. Pollinating insects, lovely birds and animals move in too. 

In a nutshell: by not trying to keep it PRETTY and saving tons of taxpayers’ cash on grass cutting you will attract great biodiversity. That is the thing that you keep telling everyone you are so in favour of. 

Stop being hypocrites! Practise what you preach and let the grass grow long! 

UK Tory dictatorship discriminates against its own health & social care work angels

 

Laughing boy Matt Hancock is now running around like a headless chicken. He’s apparently seeking to intimidate any care worker into a questionable medical procedure that they may not want, or potentially sack them if they fail to tow his one-sided line on compulsory vaccination.

Anyone who feels strongly about getting any type of vaccine should of course be free to do so. However, the same liberty must be given to people who wish to say 'no' to vaccination, without fear of discrimination or losing their livelihood. 

It's hard enough for struggling care homes to even find staff these days (plus the hardship of the job and poor wages), without such disrespectable discrimination from self-seeking politicians like Handcock. 

With one imperial flick of his wrist he can now take away the essential jobs of thousands of precious care / health workers who stand fast against his cherry-picking diktat! 

Taking away free choice is a very dangerous and unwise step for any government to undertake. This is one fact that history testifies to so well! 

Recent examples of Tory in-fighting, name-calling and bitchcraft must also cast serious doubts on this current regime, even within the hallowed ranks of the Party Faithfull. 

A petition to challenge Hancock’s incredibly despicable discrimination and Nazi-like attack on UK liberty is currently ongoing.

Vaccinated but it did not work? 

Whoops! In other parts, health workers who have been vaccinated are not too happy after hundreds contracted Covid – 19 after their shots.

 

JAKARTA, June 17 (Reuters) - More than 350 doctors and medical workers have caught COVID-19 in Indonesia despite being vaccinated with Sinovac and dozens have been hospitalised, officials said, as concerns grow about the efficacy of some vaccines against more infectious variants.

Most of the workers were asymptomatic and self-isolating at home, said Badai Ismoyo, head of the health office in the district of Kudus in central Java, but dozens were in hospital with high fevers and falling oxygen-saturation levels.

The bumbling UK government is leading our  nation down a dark tunnel of censorship, fear and intimidation. Signs are not good. 

Our liberties are severely under threat today and it seems that many people are just sitting back and allowing this outrage to happen.

What part of society will this new and frightening UK Tory regime move against next? 

 

Balloons & Chinese Lanterns: Human selfishness of launching plastic into the sky.

 

Balloon launches are a fashionable way to express feelings at times of celebration and grief today. 

People fly balloons off into the wild blue yonder, to pay tribute at various memorial events and mark weddings etc. They also launch them at parties. Schools think it’s fun to let balloons soar off into the sky too at leavers' days and will impress the others present. 

So, is this a harmless and sensible way to celebrate, commemorate or lament, or is there a more sinister aspect at large here? 

Well, who will mourn for an innocent lamb or calf that lies dying next to its mother in agony, after eating one of these fallen balloons? Unenlightened (and basically very stupid) humans regularly and willingly conduct such launches that result in balloons littering farm pastures, woodlands, seashores etc.  

When pieces of balloon are mistaken for food and ingested, they can get lodged in the digestive tract, preventing the poor animal from eating. This may result in a slow and painful death by starvation. 

The same thing can occur with marine animals and birds. They can die a lingering death after consuming balloons. 

How is this selfish human activity ever to be considered as fair-minded, positive, or reasonably adult  conduct? Where is the fun in this when we relate it to eco-damage potentially created? 

No matter what the well-meant motivation, there must be a better way to express our emotions. 

As with likewise ecologically - destructive Chinese lanterns, balloon launches are a damaging trend that kills innocent creatures and trends do tend to spread. It would be a far kinder and a more lasting idea to plant some new trees that other people can visit, enjoy and watch grow.  

We need to treat our precious planet with all due respect, as this is our organic home.  

Hot Weather brings crowds to Ainsdale Beach

 

Another weekend of lovely warm weather ensured that Ainsdale Beach saw good numbers of people.

The Snack bar and ice cream sellers apparently did well. 

Far away on the tideline - the life guards keep a close watch on events. 

High above in the clear blue sky, another watcher flew silently overhead.

Absolute bastards! The Evil that is the CHURCH!

 

The remains of 215 children were found buried in one school last month, prompting nationwide outrage. Mr Trudeau said requests for the Church to release its records on the schools had been met with "resistance". Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has urged the Catholic Church to "take responsibility" for its role in indigenous residential schools. The government-run boarding schools were set up for the forced assimilation of indigenous children. 

THEY WERE PART OF OFFICIAL POLICY, WHICH AIMED TO DESTROY INDIGENOUS CULTURES AND LANGUAGES. 

The children whose bodies were found in May were pupils of the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia, which closed in 1978.

More: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57358292 

Addendum: 

Trudeau blames the Catholic Church, yet we must remember too that they could not have achieved this level of rot this without the full support of the Canadian government. This is of course nothing but pure absolutism in action. All part of the 're-education' of Pagan First-Nation tribes.  

It continues today with governments and the Church promoting each other, opening doors for each other, to follow the Christian fundamentalist lead. Why is Trudeau not apologising and sharing the blame with the Church instead of just scapegoating the whole sorry matter onto the Church as an easy mark? It's so simple to rewrite history - when one is in power! 

It is an ongoing scandal the way that tribes in North America, Australia, Philippines, Africa, India, South America etc, stole children from their tribal families and colonialised them, re-educating them to become nice conforming Christian citizens. SAFF have been striving to throw light on all this for decades.
