Only between 1% and 10% of the harm caused by pharmaceutical drugs/vaccines is ever reported. This blog, which I wrote in June 2019, outlines the studies that have ascertained this, and looked at some of the implications, principally that the drugs prescribed by conventional medical doctors are NOT as safe as they tell us.
Indeed, the side effects and adverse reactions are under-reported to such extent that pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines can be up to 100 times more harmful than we are ever told.
This blog goes one stage further.
It looks at why the vast majority of patient harm caused by the conventional medical establishment remains unreported. Why is it that drug regulators do not get to hear about it, it being so obviously important that adverse drug reactions are reported, recorded, and that national drug regulators take action to protect us from being harmed by them.
This is why the reporting systems was set up, many following the Thalidomide scandal in the 1970's. Indeed, these reporting systems are considered so important that in most countries doctors are required by law to report them. So why is it not done?
There are three main problems, (i) the Patient, (ii) the Doctor, and (iii) the Pharmaceutical Medical Establishment.
The Patient
It is the patient who is given the pharmaceutical drug or vaccines, so it is only they who know whether they have suffered a side effect. Yet how does the patient know? They are already ill, so perhaps this new symptom is part of the same illness Perhaps it has nothing to do with the drug. Perhaps it is part of the healing process. Perhaps it will go away soon. Perhaps it is not worth reporting, especially as the doctor is so busy. And in any case it is so difficult to get a doctor's appointment.
Anyway, the doctor (and the NHS, the mainstream media (MSM), and the government) have all told us the drug/vaccine is 'entirely safe'. Take, for example, the new Covid-19 vaccines. We have been told (for many, many months) that they are safe, that there are only a few minor local side effects, immediately following vaccination. Everyone has been urged to get vaccinated. So the vaccine must be safe. Doctors would not peddle a drug/vaccine that was unsafe. Surely. So this cannot possibly be a side effect.
And perhaps if we do mention it we will be accused of listening to too much 'misinformation' and 'fake news' on social media. There has been nothing reported on the MSM to suggest there might be serious side effects. They are the solution to the problems, not the cause of problems. So why should I be the only person to experience a side effect?
Yet sometimes the 'side effect' is just so serious it has to be reported. What happens then?
First, we need to remember that it was the doctor who has given us the drug or vaccine. When doing so (s)he has told the patient, or at least implied, that it is entirely safe. And now the patient is saying that it is not safe, that it has caused a serious problem. It is professionally embarrassing; and the doctor is busy.
Legally, the doctor is obliged to fill in a Yellow Form (in the UK - other countries have other systems but usually make it a requirement) but doctors often/usually fail to do so. Perhaps it is easier, or less embarrassing to deny the problem; or that the problem has anything to do with his/her prescription. Or perhaps the problem is discounted - it's not serious, it is temporary, it will soon go away. And perhaps another drug can be prescribed that will deal with it.
With the Covid-19 vaccines this must be a particularly difficult situation for doctors, such has been the amount of promotion and advertising provided by the NHS, the Government, and the MSM. How is it then possible to admit that the vaccine might not be as safe. Perhaps the doctor has assumed, along with the propaganda, that the vaccines are safe, and in denying/discounting any link between the vaccine and the patient's new problems there is genuine doubt.
Whatever the situation is, the Yellow Card is not filled in and sent to the drug regulator.
The Conventional Medical Establishment (CHE)
The CHE has been developed, led, and is now dominated by the pharmaceutical industry, by far the most profitable, and now the wealthiest industry in the world. They have used their very considerable financial might to take almost total control of mainstream medical services, and all sources of health information available to the public.
The mission of the CHE is to sell drugs and vaccines, especially through nationally funded or subsidised medical services like the NHS. Such is their wider influence they do not even need to advertise or promote their drugs, their control of the MSM means this is done for them, free of any cost. So they have a vested interest in telling us, through conventional medical authorities, government and the MSM that their drugs and vaccines are entirely safe.
So the fact that only a small percentage of drug/vaccine side effects are ever reported is not a problem; indeed it is a positive advantage. The primary objective of natural drug regulators is to safeguard patients; but drug regulators are controlled by the pharmaceutical industry, and they are interested more in selling drugs than safeguarding patients. Under-reporting is ignored; discounted; it is not seen to be a problem; it is rarely if ever mentioned.
What this means is that the CHE has a vested interest in reducing the number of reported adverse drug/vaccine reactions. They undermine the public perception of the safety and efficacy of their medicines. So even though governments around the world have legislated to control the drugs industry, everywhere the systems that have been put in place have been undermined and circumvented by the CHE.
It is not just patients and doctors not reporting adverse drug/vaccine reactions. It is the important drug regulatory agencies, controlled by CHE, who are hesitant to take any action against the drugs/vaccines that cause patient harm. They are obliged, by law, to publish the 1% of reports they do receive; but they won't act to ensure that more reports are submitted.
So what happens to Adverse Drug/Vaccine Reactions?
Drug and vaccine side effects are published regularly by governments, and government agencies. If we look for the reported adverse reactions to the Covid-19 vaccines, for instance, they can be found; like this government webpage in the UK, and via VAERS in the USA. It shows that the number of deaths, alongside other serious side effects, are increasing - even if only 1% are being reported. They stand at nearly 1,500 in the UK. Nearly 7,000 in the USA. And about 14,000 in the EU.
But even this information, mentioned in obscure official government websites, is not mentioned by conventional medical authorities, or by governments, or by the MSM when it talks to the general public. As far as we are told, the vaccines continue to be safe. We are not told otherwise. Even death is not something the CME thinks we should know about; leave alone information about other serious, life-changing 'side effects'.
If patient harm does surface, as it has done with the blood clotting links and Covid-19 vaccines, we hear only CHE spokespersons (including MSM journalists, and government ministers) reassuring us that the numbers who have been affected are very low in comparison with the number of people who have been vaccinated. Patient harm is heavily discounted.
This is bad enough. But if we multiply the numbers harmed by pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines by 100 a very different, and far more serious picture emerges.
The odds in the game of Russian Roulette patients are expected to play with pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines (will I get the side effect, or will I be lucky) immediately becomes less attractive to anyone who is paying attention, and has access to the full facts. So the CHE prefers that only 1% to 10% of adverse reactions are reported; and do what they can to ensure we do not begin to suspect that pharmaceutical medicine is too dangerous to risk. The more harm to which they have to admit, the less attractive their medicines become, the less they can sell, their profits reduced, their financial ability to ensure that the CHE alliance is held together is compromised.
