The Disastrous Disability Signal In The UK That Corroborates The US Data!

The Disability Signal Across the Atlantic

On August 11 I wrote US Disabilities Hit an All-Time High of 37 Million In July: UP 23% Since Feb 2021. The BLS Current Population Survey printed 37,029,000 Americans 16 and over reporting a disability. That is seven million more people since February 2021, a 3-to-4 sigma break from the pre-2020 plateau that has not mean-reverted. The inflection is February 2021 with the Covid vaccine rollout not in 2020 when Covid was at its most virulent strain. Alternative explanations fail the timing and the magnitude test. The UK PIP system corroborates that US survey signal with something the American series cannot give you: medically assessed new claims broken down by body system and underlying cause.

If you want to know whether that US survey signal is real, stop arguing about survey design and look at an administrative system that actually diagnoses people.

Go back to the UK Disabilities (PIP) Project we published at Phinance Technologies. The page is still up…use it. It was built so researchers, doctors, and ordinary citizens could see the same thing we saw in 2023. You can look at total body system new claims or by underlying cause new claims (best viewed on desktop) within a body system. You can pick absolute new claims, excess new claims, percent excess new claims and excess new claims z score. We also break it out by monthly and yearly data. Finally you can sort it by age group as well. Play with data and be horrified like we were in 2023. Interactive charts…all done by Phinance Technologies for free.

PIP is not the protagonist from Charles Dickens’s novel Great Expectations. It is the UK’s main working-age disability benefit officially known as the Personal Independence Pension program by the UK Department of Work. Claims are medically assessed. Decisions, “clearances,” as noted above are coded by body system and then by underlying cause. The positive award rate has been stable at around 40 percent, so you are not looking at a sudden collapse in standards. You are looking at more people presenting with more illness…new claims, not just the stock of existing claimants, sorted monthly or yearly and by age band versus a 2016–2019 trend.

That is the advantage over the US survey. The BLS series tells you that disability exploded after early 2021 with the vaccine rollout and not in 2020 with the virus. PIP tells you where in the body it exploded, and it lets you watch the timing against the vaccine rollout curve on the same chart.

Health Canada won’t answer contaminated COVID-19 vaccine questions

This month Ottawa tabled a stack of Order Paper Questions on COVID vaccines: Pfizer payments, residual DNA contamination known as Plasmidgate, approvals, VAERS death reports, and the science (or lack thereof) behind lockdowns.

As then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sold vaccination as a civic duty and implemented sweeping vaccine mandates, families who were never given proper informed consent recently brought their injuries to Ottawa.

“It really affects the whole family when one person’s injured,” said Carrie Sakamoto, a severely vaccine injured Canadian. She told me at the Allison Inquiry at the beginning of September that “it just devastates everybody.”

Veterans, former elite athletes and parents of children who died testified, and Health Canada stayed silent throughout. Then, a week later, the Public Health Agency of Canada posted a portal update and a backlog number. There was no apology.

As OPQ responses begin rolling in, one is from the MP who spearheaded the inquiry, Dean Allison himself. He asked Health Canada what science proves SV40 promoter fragments in Pfizer’s vaccine are inactive, and when officials first noticed the 2021-22 spike in U.S. VAERS death reports.

The department responded not with a study, but the blanket reassurance that the fragment is inactive, has no functional role and sits below limits. For context: SV40 sequences are used in molecular biology to drive gene expression. They can interact with host DNA, but it all begs the question that if the material is inert and irrelevant, why is it there?

Internal Health Canada emails from July 2023 show officials still asking Pfizer for characterization details while authorizing additional boosters – shots that were still contaminated.

Pfizer had not disclosed the sequence to Health Canada, the FDA or the EMA at the time of submissions, and it was only after genomics expert Kevin McKernan and I made the finding public in April, agencies compared notes.

“At Health Canada, we do not view this as an urgent risk topic,” one email said, as fall booster campaigns loomed. If regulators had already concluded the fragment was harmless and below limit, why were they still seeking basic measurement information from Pifzer?

The same pattern appears in questions on residual DNA bound to lipid nanoparticles, the tiny fat bubbles that carry the modified RNA of the vaccine into cells.

Officials once again offered broad safety assurances while leaving levels, fragment size, batch variability and manufacturing controls unanswered. On deaths, they said vital statistics showed no increase linked to mRNA vaccines, cited VAERS when convenient, then treated the same database as a scare tactic.

UNBELIEVABLE: Fox News Hires Disgraced Cuomo Aide Who Covered Up COVID Nursing Home Deaths to Co-Host New Podcast

Fox News just handed a contributor contract and a co-host chair on a brand-new podcast to the woman who sat at Andrew Cuomo’s right hand while New York shoved COVID-positive patients into nursing homes and then hid the body count.

According to a Fox News Media press release, Melissa DeRosa is now a “newly named FOX News contributor.” She will appear on the premiere of the network’s new all-female roundtable podcast, the Girls, which debuts October 1.

The first episode features Rachel Campos-Duffy, Harris Faulkner, Kat Timpf, former ESPN host Samantha Ponder, and DeRosa.

Fox’s own announcement describes her as a “veteran democratic strategist” who “previously held several senior roles in former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration, becoming the first woman to serve as secretary to the governor.” That is a very polite way of saying she was Cuomo’s gatekeeper during the deadliest nursing-home policy in America.

In February 2021, The Gateway Pundit reported the leak that blew the cover off the operation. In a piece titled “BOMBSHELL: Top NY Official Admits Cuomo Hid Nursing Home Data So Feds Wouldn’t Find Out,” we detailed DeRosa’s remarks on a private conference call with New York Democratic lawmakers.

According to the New York Post, which first published the audio, DeRosa apologized to those Democrats for withholding the state’s nursing-home death tally. She said the administration “froze” after then-President Donald Trump “turns this into a giant political football.”

Her words, as reported by the Post:

“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes. He starts going after [New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”

Then came the part that should have ended her media career:

“And basically, we froze. Because then we were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation.”

That is not a “reporting lag.” That is a senior state official admitting, on tape, that the Cuomo shop sat on the death numbers because they were afraid the Trump Justice Department would use the truth against them.

COVID mRNA Vaccine Hides Up to 30% of Endotoxin Activity in FDA Test

All FDA-approved and emergency-use-authorized mRNA vaccines use E. coli to produce so-called starting DNA or other manufacturing materials, creating a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin contamination risk that manufacturers test for in the finished shots.

Endotoxin has been shown to drive cardiac injury and abnormal clotting in experimental studies, and other outcomes that overlap with myocarditis, blood clots, and other serious events reported after Pfizer’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, raising the question of whether endotoxin was adequately excluded as a contributor.

No publicly available information tells us specifically how much endotoxin is present in finished mRNA vaccine vials.

In a January 2022 memo, the FDA reported adding a known amount of endotoxin to three samples of Moderna’s finished COVID vaccine to check whether its test could detect it.

Its test only recovered 80%, 71%, and 70% of the added activity.

Meaning 20%, 29%, and 30% of the control signal went undetected while the added endotoxin was present in the samples.

The endotoxin was still there.

FDA knew how much it had added.

Yet something in the vaccine samples prevented the test from detecting up to 30% of its activity.

FDA nevertheless accepted all three results, raising questions:

  • If the test missed up to 30% of a control added after manufacture, what could it miss when endotoxin enters the vaccine’s lipid particles during manufacture?
  • Why did FDA call the measured loss only “slight inhibition”?
  • And why did the agency allow a complete finished-product release test to wait until after its Spikevax approval decision?
  • Why have regulators and manufacturers not told us exactly how much LPS endotoxin is present in finished mRNA vaccine vials?
  • Why do post-mRNA vaccination adverse events track endotoxin exposure symptoms?

Australian regulator TGA did test Pfizer’s mRNA COVID vaccine batches as “less than 5 EU/mL.”

But that means the assay couldn’t see endotoxin above a prespecified cutoff, and only after it was diluted.

It is not a count of how much total endotoxin is in each vial.

Moreover, studies examined below found that liposomes and other lipid preparations can hide over 90% of incorporated endotoxin from detection, raising the question of what happens in the lipid nanoparticles used in mRNA vaccines.

COVID Hospital Protocols: ‘This Kind of Cruelty Will Not Be Repeated’

During Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-Wis.) roundtable on COVID-19 hospital care today, Brad Seiler described the desperate effort to get his wife, Gail, out of a hospital after staff told him she was “unsavable.”

When Brad finally got her discharged, he said hospital staff wouldn’t let them leave through the main entrance. Instead, Gail was taken down a freight elevator used to transport bodies to the morgue and escorted out through doors used by funeral homes.

A nurse told him, “She’ll be dead tonight, or before you even get home.” Gail survived.

“Today, Gail is alive, healthy, active, and enjoying life with our grandchildren and children,” Seiler said.

Seiler was one of 21 patients, family members, doctors and nurses who testified at the “COVID-19 Hospital Protocols: Real Stories from Real People” roundtable. Johnson said that as of Sept. 26, his office had received 583 testimonies from people in 46 states.

“Today I am providing a platform for these stories to be told so that this kind of cruelty will not be repeated,” Johnson said.

‘It is our responsibility to make sure this never happens again’

Stephanie Williamson of New Jersey described losing her husband, Dave, after what she said was a series of decisions made without informed consent or family input.

“My children never saw their father again. Dave’s dad never saw his son,” Williamson said.

She said she was pressured into consenting to her husband’s intubation.

“The night my husband was intubated, I realized I was coerced into consenting to put him on a ventilator,” she said.

Williamson said she had waited four and a half years to tell her husband’s story.

“This is about humanity,” she said. “Patient care should not be driven by reimbursements. A doctor’s hands should never be tied, and no patient should ever be left alone. It is our responsibility to make sure this never happens again.”

Florida registered nurse Donna Lowery said she was fired after 31 years on the job because she advocated for a hospitalized patient and recommended ivermectin. Lowery said once the drug was stopped, the patient deteriorated quickly, was placed on a ventilator and died.

“For me, there was a patient. There was a family in need of help, and there was a choice,” Lowery said. “I chose to help. I paid for that decision, but I would make it again.”

In Shadow of Pending Lawsuit, CDC Again Recommends COVID Vaccines for Infants and Young Kids

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly reinstated its July 2025 COVID-19 vaccination recommendations, including recommending the vaccine for “off-label” use among infants and children, Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D., reported.

According to the CDC’s updated webpage, the agency now recommends the COVID-19 shot for all adults ages 18 and older and for children ages 6 months to 17 years who are moderately to severely immunocompromised.

For children not at high risk — including males ages 12-24, who have the highest risk for vaccine-associated myocarditis — the CDC recommends the vaccine based on shared clinical decision-making.

The updated recommendations conflict with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals for the vaccines.

There are currently no FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children and adults younger than 64. For those younger than 65, the vaccines are only FDA-approved for those at high risk of COVID-19 illness, at various ages depending on the vaccine.

The CDC acknowledges that use of the vaccine in that age group would be an “off-label” use.

Latest changes may be tied to court order in ongoing lawsuit

In May 2025, the U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the CDC would no longer recommend COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children 6 months and older and healthy pregnant women.

In September 2025, the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) made the changes official when members voted that for people ages 6 months to 64 years, COVID-19 vaccination should be based on “individual-based decision-making.”

However, a court-ordered stay in March 2026 froze those recommendations. To comply with that order, the CDC is now reverting to its early 2025 recommendations.

The court-ordered stay, issued by U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy, stemmed from an ongoing lawsuit filed in July 2025 by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and several other medical groups.

The groups sued Kennedy and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) over changes to COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for children and pregnant women. They amended their lawsuit several times in response to new HHS and CDC policies and recommendations.

The U.S. Department of Justice is appealing Murphy’s ruling on behalf of Kennedy and HHS. Oral arguments are scheduled for Oct. 6 before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit.

Surgeon at Hospital That Treated First U.S. COVID Patient Claims Fraud, Deadly Protocols and Retaliation — Says Infectious Disease Chief Worked With State to “Restrict the Civil Rights of Unvaccinated People”

A trauma surgeon who worked inside the Washington hospital that treated the first diagnosed COVID-19 patient in the United States dropped a political grenade on Capitol Hill Monday.

Dr. James P. Miller told Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-WI) roundtable, “COVID-19 Hospital Protocols: Real Stories from Real People,” that the head of infectious disease at his hospital privately admitted he was working with state government to restrict the civil rights of unvaccinated Americans.

“The head of infectious disease medicine at my hospital privately told me that he was working with the state government to restrict the civil rights of unvaccinated people,” Miller said.

“Including their ability to drive and therefore work, by making their driver’s license renewal contingent on their COVID vaccine status.”

That is not a conspiracy theory from a comment section. That is a licensed physician and surgeon, under oath in the Senate, describing what he said he heard from the man running infectious disease at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, the same hospital that treated “Patient Zero” in January 2020.

In a sworn attestation Miller previously filed for criminal investigations, he identified that official as Dr. George Diaz and said Diaz told him unvaccinated people should not be allowed to engage in society or hold a driver’s license, and that Diaz claimed he was working with the Washington governor’s office to turn that view into state policy.

Those remain Miller’s allegations. Diaz was the public face of Everett’s first-case response and an early champion of remdesivir.

Attorney Who Sued Hospitals in 40 States Over Ivermectin Tells Ron Johnson: 69 of 72 Patients Who Received Ivermectin Survived When Courts Forced Treatment — All 140 Patients Denied the Drug Died

Attorney Ralph Lorigo delivered striking testimony Monday during Sen. Ron Johnson’s roundtable examining COVID-era hospital protocols, telling the Wisconsin Republican that he represented 212 families across 40 states who went to court seeking alternative treatment for critically ill COVID patients.

Johnson convened the September 28 roundtable, titled “COVID-19 Hospital Protocols: Real Stories from Real People,” to hear testimony from patients, family members, doctors, nurses and others about their experiences inside hospitals during the pandemic. According to Sen. Johnson’s office, the event was the first in Johnson’s series of COVID-related hearings and roundtables devoted entirely to hospital protocols.

Lorigo told the panel that of the 212 families he represented, there were 72 cases in which he prevailed and ivermectin was ultimately administered.

According to Lorigo, only three of those 72 patients died.

“In all, I represented 212 families across 40 states,” Lorigo said. “I won 72 where ivermectin was actually given. Only 3 people died.”

That means 69 of the 72 patients Lorigo identified survived, a survival rate of approximately 95.8 percent among that group.

Lorigo then described what he said happened in the remaining cases.

Another Incredible Win Against the Covid Tyrants: New Jersey Jury Delivers Unanimous 8–0 Verdict for Christian Groundskeeper Fired Over a Religious Exemption — Awarded $671,000

A New Jersey jury just delivered a message that the Democrat machine in Essex County did not want to hear.

On Friday, an Essex County jury returned a unanimous 8–0 verdict for Theodore “Teddy” DeBlasio, a longtime groundskeeper at Essex County Hospital Center who was fired after the county denied his religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The panel awarded him more than $670,000 for economic and emotional harm. Attorneys’ fees are still to come. Punitive damages are next.

Attorney John D. Coyle of Coyle Law Group called it New Jersey’s first jury verdict in a COVID-19 religious exemption case.

DeBlasio, raised Catholic and now a Christian, objected to taking a shot tested or developed using aborted fetal cell lines. That is a sincerely held religious belief millions of Americans share. Essex County treated it like a punchline.

According to trial evidence cited by Coyle Law Group, in February 2022 the county denied every religious exemption request submitted by Christian and Catholic employees, and approved every request submitted by Muslim employees.

Coyle put it bluntly on X:

“It was revealed at trial that Essex County denied each and every request from a Christian employee and granted every Muslim exemption. That isn’t an exaggeration.”

“Catholic groundskeeper could not safely test and mask but a Muslim NURSE could test and mask.”

“Essex County determined that Teddy DeBlasio—with the crown of thorns tattooed on his wrist to remind him to think of Jesus with his actions—did not have sincere beliefs but a Muslim employee who photocopied another Muslim’s exemption, did.”

IRS Probing $100 Billion In Potential COVID-19 Loan Fraud

Earlier this year, the Small Business Administration (SBA) referred more than $200 billion in suspected COVID loan fraud to the IRS.

The tax agency then compared the information that the borrowers submitted to the SBA when applying for the loans with the information they declared to the IRS.

Analysis identified discrepancies associated with approximately $100 billion in loans, the SBA said in a Sept. 23 statement.

The IRS will determine whether additional taxes and penalties apply, including penalties for committing fraud, according to the SBA.

The suspected fraud pertains to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and COVID Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) initiatives.

PPP was aimed at helping businesses keep their workforce during the pandemic, while EIDL provided loans and advances to help businesses recover from the economic impacts of the crisis.

In 2023, the SBA judged that 20 percent of the $1.2 trillion pandemic relief program could have been obtained by fraud.

SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said:

“The IRS’s identification of approximately $100 billion in suspected tax fraud sends a clear message: fraudsters who stole from SBA’s COVID-relief programs will … face accountability at the SBA.

“If they inflated payroll, fabricated employee counts, falsified business records, or otherwise lied to obtain taxpayer-funded loans, they will also face scrutiny from the IRS.“

The federal government is estimated to lose $233 billion to $521 billion annually to fraud, the Government Accountability Office said in an April 2024 report.
