The grim news coming from health officials this week is that heart disease among Barbadians is on the rise in Barbados. There has been a lot of noise historically associated with diabetes and hypertension, let us add cardiovascular disease to the list. What has been described as a health crisis is acerbated by a lack of capacity at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) to adequately administer timely treatment.

The blogmaster does not mean to be insensitive about individuals in need of urgent care, BUT, the observation must be made – our lifestyle choices have increased the risk factors contributing to a rise in Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Barbados. We criticise the healthcare system for its poor service and neglect to self blame given our lifestyle choices feeding the ‘health crisis’. The current situation is a reminder of the popular saying ‘pouring water in the sea’. In real terms, we have developed behaviours that guarantee a high demand on the healthcare system. A system that has to be funded with tax dollars given successive governments commitment to provide ‘free’ health care to citizens.

We must improve the delivery of healthcare all agree, BUT, unless we address the demand on the health system linked to lifestyle choices of Barbadians, taxpayers money will continue to disappear down a black hole. Why do Barbadians seem committed to adopting lifestyle behaviour and choices that increase risk factors feeding the rise in NCDs?

Another issue which caught the attention this week was the eleventh hour decision by Minister of Agriculture Indar Weir to persuade Chickmont Foods management to ‘pause’ a decision to increase the price of an egg by 8 cents . While the decision to pause the increase is appreciated, especially at this time of year, a curious blogmaster must ask – why would a private sector company forgo revenue because the CEO of Chickmont received a call from a minister? Common sense suggests there has to be a backstory.

Here is wishing the ministry of agriculture with a bevy of PhDs and higher learning public servants get the forecasting of egg inventory right in the future. After all, forecasting is a routine process used by successful enterprises.

    Remember when they assured the worry-wart, “anti-vaxxers” among us that the contents of the experimental, mRNA vaccine would remain concentrated solely around the site where the jab went in (i.e. the deltoid muscle), and it would be impossible for the contents to spread from there and later become lodged in bodily tissue and/or organs throughout the body? Well, they lied.

    “The ‘Pfizer Papers’: Proof of COVID Medical Wrongdoing”
    December 1, 2024 • by James Stansbury

    December 1, 2024 • by James Stansbury

    Some hard evidence of medical wrongdoing during the pandemic is now available in a new book titled The Pfizer Papers: Pfizer’s Crimes against Humanity that became available just a few days ago. I haven’t received my copy yet, but I learned that the U.S., the U.K., and Australia have all tried to suppress its publication. Following are a few noteworthy findings from the introduction by Dr. Naomi Wolf:

    “The story of how [this book] came to be is extraordinary — 3250 highly credentialed doctors and scientists under the leadership of one extraordinary woman, Amy Kelly, worked for two years on the 450,000 internal Pfizer documents released under court order by a successful lawsuit by attorney Aaron Siri. In the process these volunteers confirmed the greatest crime against humanity of all time.”

    “The story began when lawyer Aaron Siri successfully sued the Food and Drug Administration, to compel them to release “The Pfizer Documents.” These are Pfizer’s internal documents — as noted above, 450,000 pages in number — that detail the clinical trials Pfizer conducted in relation to its COVID mRNA injection.”

    “We learned that Pfizer knew within three months after rollout in December 2020, that the vaccines did not work to stop COVID. Pfizer’s language was “vaccine failure” and “failure of efficacy.”

    “Many people who took this injection, as it was launched in 2020–2021–2022 and to the present, did not realize that normal testing for safety of a new vaccine — testing that typically takes ten to twelve years — had simply been bypassed via the mechanisms of a “state of emergency” and the FDA’s “Emergency Use Authorization.”

    “Pfizer knew that the vaccine materials — lipid nanoparticles, an industrial fat, coated in polyethylene glycol, a petroleum byproduct; mRNA; and spike protein — did not remain in the deltoid muscle, as claimed by all spokespeople. Rather, it dispersed throughout the body in forty-eight hours “like a shotgun blast,” as one of the authors, Dr. Robert Chandler, put it; it crossed every membrane in the human body — including the blood-brain barrier — and accumulated in the liver, adrenals, spleen, brain, and, if one is a woman, in the ovaries.”

    “These side effects included: death (which Pfizer does list as a “serious adverse event”). Indeed, over 1,233 deaths in first three months of the drug being publicly available.”

    “Severe COVID-19; liver injury; neurological adverse events; facial paralysis; kidney injury; autoimmune diseases; chilblains (a localized form of vasculitis that affects the fingers and toes); multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (when more than one organ system is failing at once); the activation of dormant herpes zoster infections; skin and mucus membrane lesions; respiratory issues; damaged lung structure; respiratory failure; acute respiratory distress syndrome…”

    “Babies suffered and died. In one section of the documents, over 80 percent of the pregnancies followed resulted in miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. In another section of the documents, two newborn babies died, and Pfizer described the cause of death as “maternal exposure” to the vaccine.”

    “By the time Pfizer’s vaccine rolled out to the public, the pharmaceutical giant knew that they would be killing babies and significantly harming women and men’s reproduction.”

    It is nice to be a minister. Lots of travel.

    Not just a Minister. The entourage is akin to certain athletic trips, with one athlete and several accompanying.
    Just one area, which contributes to the shortfall of revenue a.k.a excess of expenses, alluded to in recent mid year ‘guidance’.
    Since finding new loan sources, is as relevant as tourism, all such presentations/expenditures are ‘justified’.
