“Nothing to see here”: Yale tries to downplay “bombshell” findings of a post-COVID vaccination syndrome
Yale researchers have identified a post-COVID vaccination syndrome causing chronic symptoms that seem to be indistinguishable from long COVID in some sufferers.
Even worse, they have been able to detect spike protein – delivered by the vaccines – in people up to 700 days after vaccination. That’s not supposed to happen.
As we report (page 5) Yale University has tried to downplay the implications. Instead of giving their Press release the dramatic headline it deserved, Yale went with “Immune markers of post vaccination syndrome indicate future research directions”.
In a sign of how the climate has changed, the mainstream media for once didn’t let them get away with it, and quickly labelled the findings what they are: a “bombshell”.
That’s probably a word you could use to describe my interview with Dr Mark Bailey, which starts on page 44. I’m sure all of us have realised how much we were lied to about all aspects of COVID. Some of us have been slower to address growing concerns about the field of virology, which have erupted in a manner not seen since the 19th century arguments about the then new Germ Theory proposed by Pasteur. In a compelling – and ongoing – body of work that includes books, podcasts, essays and videos, Mark and his wife Dr Sam Bailey (who fought prosecution in Australia for airing her views on COVID), have researched and documented what they refer to as the “pseudoscience” that has infected so much of modern medicine.
The interview makes for difficult, but I hope inspiring reading, as it re-establishes the foundation of natural medicine that sometimes we forget: the body heals itself, given the chance; our biological terrain is much more important than allegedly pathogenic microbes; we are not so vulnerable that we need endless rounds of vaccines and drugs to keep us healthy….

Diet is a big surprise for these nutrition researchers
Researchers at King’s College London have “discovered” (again) that what sufferers from severe psoriasis eat can have an effect on their condition. And they seem surprised!
Prof Wendy Hall, who is Professor of Nutritional Sciences at KCL, had this to say: “This research brings much-needed evidence that there may be a role for dietary advice, alongside standard clinical care, in managing symptoms of psoriasis”. Can you believe it?
What surprises US is that it’s taken until 2025 for academics to finally mount a study to find “significant associations” between diet quality and the severity of psoriasis. Hall and colleagues even have the nerve to flag up their findings as providing “novel insights” into how dietary patterns may be related to psoriasis severity. (Report, page 57.)
Do you ever feel that, as nutrition-based practitioners, steeped in both the evidence base and shared clinical experience, we’re on a different planet? It’s certainly one where orthodox medicine and academic nutrition scientists have NO idea what we do and no interest in finding out.
Plant nutritionists are getting in the act now, as well. In an otherwise interesting study linking B6 metabolism, epilepsy and finding commonalities between plant and human metabolism (page 61), another professor finds himself unknowingly captured by the plant-based fad. Ignoring the fact that animal foods are rich in B6 and taking a giant leap outside any of the findings from the research he conducted, Pradeep Kachroo, PhD, professor of plant pathology at Martin-Gatton CAFÉ states: “It is important that we approach vitamin supplementation cautiously and rely primarily on plant-based diets to meet our daily nutritional needs”.
He’s no evidence for the statement; clearly he knows nothing about human nutrition.

We’re always fully referenced
We don’t put a big emphasis on being “evidence based” in the conventional sense, mainly because the bulk of the evidence used in meta analyses and systematic reviews and to produce “guidelines” is not to be trusted. As Prof Richard David Feinman puts it, the meta-analysis is the “most dangerous” activity plaguing modern medical literature. And RCTs are of no use in assessing complex conditions that we address with multiple interventions – such as Dr Dale Bredesen’s Alzheimer’s protocol. Likewise, we highly value the hard-won clinical experience of multiple practitioners accumulated over the years and handed down over generations of evolving natural medicine practice. That said, we do put a lot of effort into referencing our features. References are online to save space, available within our members area.
