Dear Sir Adrian, Dr Ramakrishnan and Sir David
Serious conflicts of interest were not disclosed when the COVID-19 vaccine deployment: Behaviour, ethics,
misinformation and policy strategies report[1] was promoted in November 2020.
This Royal Society and British Academy sponsored report supports the deployment of fast-tracked and still experimental ‘COVID-19’ vaccine products, and calls for dissent about these vaccine products to be suppressed, even calling for criminal prosecutions for ‘spreading misinformation’. But who defines what is ‘misinformation’?
The COVID-19 vaccine deployment report calls for oppressive action against people questioning COVID-19 vaccination policy, but fails to disclose that both the Royal Society and British Academy are seriously conflicted in this matter via their funding.
The Royal Society receives funding[2] from AstraZeneca, the manufacturer of the Oxford vaccine[3], and also from GlaxoSmithKline, another vaccine manufacturer involved with COVID-19 vaccine products.[4]
The British Academy receives funding from the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)[5], which is responsible for the Vaccine Taskforce (VTF) which was “set up to drive forward the development and production of a coronavirus vaccine as quickly as possible, bringing together government, academia and industry”.[6]
Sir Adrian, Dr Ramakrishnan and Sir David, these conflicts of interest should have been clearly disclosed on the COVID-19 vaccine deployment report, and acknowledged in media promotion for the report.
The Royal Society says “We are the independent scientific academy of the UK”[7], and the British Academy says it is “an independent fellowship of world-leading scholars and researchers”, but this declared ‘independence’ is clearly compromised.
Sir Adrian, Dr Ramakrishnan and Sir David, please take steps immediately to ensure conflicts of interest are clearly disclosed in regards to the COVID-19 vaccine deployment: Behaviour, ethics, misinformation and policy strategies report.
I request your response on this matter.
Sincerely
Elizabeth Hart
Independent person investigating the over-use of vaccine products and conflicts of interest in vaccination policy

What about the conflicts of interest with politicians and the health professionals in Australia. What is the answer?
To keep exposing and to keep pumping info out there so check out all the work by Elizabeth Hart as she specialises in this. I think so much of it is coming out but if you think back though the years nothing was happening. It’s an information war right now and this is why there is so much censorship taking place. Conflicts of interest around health professionals we have been exposing here for years and incredible success against Turnbull and his wife in particular. I don’t think anyone has the one answer other than what iv explained here. It would be incredible for the entire country to stand up together and say, NO MORE but that’s a pipe dream for now.
Does anyone ever think that Governments would expose their conflicts of interest and should you do then you are back in the dark ages or under a rock!
Governments, or ‘The State’ are there to exist and increase their power against the people who are their most feared enemy.
Governments or the State exist through propaganda, fear and confiscation. There is no honesty in the State so why would they show transparency?
This CoVid fraud is the most massive attack on the people of the world and it is aided by the States and it’s bedfellows the Media along with all the compromised pseudo intellectuals who rely for their bread on their table by promoting false science via our Health Authorities and Media.
We have a system that is collapsing, and fast!
Watch some “Yes Minister”
