    The CDC has recently admitted that for the last 20 or so years while they were reassuring the American and worldwide public that vaccines cannot and do NOT cause autism, they had no adequate scientific studies to back up their official position with any degree of scientific rigour. Note that they are not saying now that vaccines do cause autism, just that the CDC does not have the science backed evidence necessary to show deffintively that vaccines do not cause autism in some children.

    ‘Honesty at Last’: CDC Says ‘No Evidence’ to Support Claim that Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism

    The CDC revised its autism webpage to say there is no evidence supporting the blanket claim that vaccines do not cause autism, a major shift from past messaging. HHS told The Defender the changes “reflect gold standard, evidence-based science,” while CHD CEO Mary Holland said the website update shows “there never was science behind the claim that ‘vaccines do not cause autism.’”

    November 20, 2025

    After decades of claiming unequivocally that vaccines do not cause autism, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday updated its webpage on vaccines and autism to state that there is no evidence supporting the claim that vaccines don’t cause autism.

    The webpage previously stated there is no link between vaccines and autism. It now says, “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”

    “Though the cause of autism is likely to be multi-factorial, the scientific foundation to rule out one potential contributor entirely has not been established,” the webpage states, adding that studies supporting a link between vaccines and autism “have been ignored by health authorities.”

    In a series of posts on X, Children’s Health Defense (CHD) welcomed the announcement, calling it “the biggest public health reversal of our lifetime” and saying it “confirms what parents have been shouting for decades.”

    Andrew Nixon, communications director for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), told The Defender in a statement that the changes “reflect gold standard, evidence-based science.”

    In March, the CDC announced it would investigate potential links between vaccines and autism, promising to “leave no stone unturned.”

    CHD CEO Mary Holland today said, “The dam is already breaking.” She added:

    “What the new information on the CDC website shows is that there never was science behind the claim that ‘vaccines do not cause autism.’ That was tobacco science, and vaccine science is tobacco science — all marketing, no substance. Now the CDC is starting to be on the side of truth when it comes to vaccines.”

    In an interview today on CHD.TV’s “Good Morning CHD,” Holland said she believes vaccines cause autism and are “the primary cause of the autism epidemic.”

    Researchers who have studied the potential link between vaccines and autism also applauded the CDC’s updated messaging.

    “Honesty at last,” said Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who published a study in The Lancet in 1998 suggesting a possible link between the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism. The paper was retracted in 2010 following intense criticism from the mainstream scientific community.

    Wakefield called the CDC’s update “another feather in the cap of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his quest for truth and integrity.”

    Demand for Chinese hospital ship ‘a concern’

    Former minister of health Donville Inniss has described the long lines of Barbadians seeking medical attention from the visiting Chinese hospital ship as “embarrassing”, warning that the scenes point to what he cautiously termed a growing crisis in the public health care system.

    “As we welcome the Chinese medical ship, we must not be distracted from the general deteriorating state of our public health care system in Barbados,” he said, adding that it was “truly painful to see hundreds of Bajans lining up in 2025 for health checks on a ship”.

    While welcoming the assistance being provided by the visiting vessel, Inniss said the demand for its services raised serious questions.

    “The fact that thousands of Barbadians have to line up to try to get on a visiting medical ship to be examined or treated is a bit embarrassing,” he said. “It tells me that there is significant pressure in the polyclinics, resulting in many Barbadians not being seen, or not being seen in a timely fashion.”

    Turning to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH), Inniss said long-standing challenges were continuing to affect patient care.

    “We all know the challenges there – long waiting times in Accident and Emergency, persistent delays in surgeries, malfunctioning equipment, inadequate equipment, and what appears to be bad management of personnel, particularly on the clinical side,” he said.

    Inniss thanked China for its continued support to Barbados’ health sector, noting that over the years the partnership had facilitated the presence of Chinese medical professionals in critical areas at the QEH. However, he said that reliance on a floating hospital could not address the underlying problems.

    “So kudos to the Chinese and thank them on behalf of Barbadians for coming and helping us,” he said. “But this is not sustainable. Going on a floating health care facility is not the solution to Barbados’ health care challenges.”

    Private care

    He said the situation was forcing many citizens to seek private medical care, often at great personal expense.

    “Every day, I encounter Barbadians who lament the fact that they seem to be forced to go private because the public system is not meeting their demands. There is a lot of pain out there – challenges accessing medication, challenges accessing timely care. These are real issues.”

    Inniss also questioned how follow-up care would be handled for patients treated on the ship.

    “The questions that must now be asked are: who will do the follow-up work on these citizens, what further diagnostic work is to be done, and to whom will the Chinese doctors be referring these patients?” he asked, saying those concerns pointed to weaknesses in coordination within the health system.

    Rejecting calls for means testing, Inniss said he remained committed to a socialised health care model.

    “I like a system that says we all contribute into a pool of funds, which is then used to take care of individuals regardless of their socioeconomic circumstances,” he said.

    The former minister warned that greater reliance on private insurance would place further strain on middle-income Barbadians, many of whom already received limited state support and risked becoming the “working poor”.

    Instead, Inniss called for better management of existing resources, sustainable financing, and a stronger emphasis on primary and preventive care.

    “Solutions are there. What is required now is the political will to wrap our minds around these issues and engage all stakeholders, even those who may not share the same political views,” he said. ( CLM)

    COLON CANCER UP

    By Cheryl Harewood Barbados has one of the highest incidences of colorectal cancer globally and according to the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) and the World Health Organisation (WHO), the country has the second highest incidence in the Latin American region.

    Recently appointed medical director of the Caribbean Colon Cancer Initiative (CCCI), Dr Alex Doyle, in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Sun, said the latest statistics from the Barbados National Registry 2024 Report showed that colon cancerrelated deaths recorded in 2022 were 116, up from the 2015 figure of 98.

    This was coupled with the agestandardised incidence rate for both men and women increasing between 2019 and 2020. The rate for men being 28.8 and for women, 26.6, in 2019, but increased to 34.6 and 31.5, respectively in 2020.

    The report also confirmed that “Barbados placed eighth in the top ten countries with the highest colorectal cancer incidence rate, second and fifth in prostate cancer mortality and incidence rates, respectively, on the global scale” and that there were “increased mortality rates between 2020 and 2021 among prostate, breast, colorectal, endometrial and pancreatic cancers”.

    Doyle, a graduate of the International Surgical Oncology Fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York and Nigeria, with advanced training in minimally invasive, open and endoscopic surgery, said traditionally, colorectal cancer was a disease of the older generation – people in their 50s, 60s and 70s.

    “It has been recognised the world over that people in their 30s and 40s are now presenting with colorectal cancer, particularly persons of African descent.”

    To this end, Doyle is urging individuals aged 45 years and older with average risk of colorectal cancer to get screened.

    Pool resources

    “This highlights an issue we want to address. A lot of the data we are using are based on First World countries and estimates and not our own data for the Caribbean and Barbados specifically. If as a region we can pool our research efforts so we can get an accurate assessment of the incidence and prevalence of the disease locally and regionally, that would be ideal. An up-to-date cancer registry is a must.”

    Notwithstanding, Doyle said: “The cause of the high morbidity and mortality of the disease relates to the fact that many patients are being diagnosed at a late stage – often at Stage 3 and stage 4. This is because there is a lack of early screening on the island. Originally, there was not a national screening programme, but Government has started to introduce a screening programme throughout the polyclinics.”

    The fellowship-trained general surgeon and surgeon oncologist, who is dedicated to elevating cancer care delivery in Barbados and the wider Caribbean through evidence-base surgery, research and system design, added that many people refused to use the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), which is a stool-based test.

    “Persons are given the test packet to return a sample of their faeces, but they take the packet home and do not follow through. Our local experience has shown that we have distributed over 1 000 tests [in Barbados] through CCI. Less than half of those tests have been returned. Some people do not like to handle their own faeces. Because of these poor screening efforts, we are picking up cancers at more advanced stages.

    “The other challenge we have is that if people get a positive result, they will need to have a colonoscopy performed and the issue with this is that in the public setting the waiting list can be long for persons seeking to get a date for this procedure. So, there is an issue with endoscopic capacity on the island. Before I started my surgical training, colonoscopies were only performed by gastroenterologists [but] surgeons began doing colonoscopies as well.”

    Doyle disclosed that one of the initiatives the CCCI started last year in conjunction with the Caribbean Society of Endoscopic Surgeons was PROJECT SCOPE: Barbados National Endoscopy Advancement Initiative, whereby the CCCI sponsored an endo-laparoscopic course for surgical residents in Barbados and throughout the region.

    “FIT tests were distributed to members of the service industry – the Barbados Police Service, the Barbados Fire Service, Barbados Defence Force, The Legionnaires, the Sanitation Services Authority and the Barbados Postal Service.

    Individuals who tested positive received free colonoscopies which were performed by the group of international experts who were on island for the endo-laparoscopic course as well as local surgeons.”

    Health care warning

    THE ARRIVAL of China’s medical ship was framed as a diplomatic success and a bridge of friendship between nations. But within Barbados, the sight of thousands clamouring for access to its free services told a more sobering story: one of unmet health care needs and a system struggling beneath the weight of chronic disease, an ageing population and insufficient capacity.

    The long queues at the Bridgetown Port were more than a temporary embarrassment; they were a diagnosis.

    They revealed, in stark terms, that thousands of Barbadians are unable to access timely care. It should trouble every citizen, not because help came from China, but because so many people were compelled to wait in lines, some overnight, in order to receive basic medical attention. Barbados’ health system was built on a social contract: health care should be accessible to all, regardless of income.

    That contract is under severe strain.

    The Queen Elizabeth Hospital remains overwhelmed, particularly at Accident & Emergency, where hours-long waits, delayed surgeries and malfunctioning equipment have become far too common.

    Polyclinics are stretched thin and often lack capacity to manage chronic disease in a society where nearly two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese, and diabetes and hypertension are widespread. Simply put, demand is exploding, but the ability to meet it has not kept pace.

    Private health care has grown in scale and sophistication, offering strong services from doctors, nurses, technicians and allied professionals. Yet most Barbadians cannot afford regular access. Insurance provides a buffer, but premiums continue to rise. Middle-income families already fighting high living costs risk becoming the “working poor” if forced to rely solely on private care for basic needs.

    What stands out from the ship’s visit is not geopolitics, but human need. Almost 2 500 outpatient consultations and more than 2 000 examinations took place in seven days. Mote than 200 surgeries and procedures were completed. That volume in one week is not just commendable – it is alarming. It asks a question we cannot ignore: why are so many Barbadians waiting for care until desperation forces them into a line at dawn?

    The ship has sailed away. The need remains.

    This moment must be a catalyst.

    First, Barbados must embrace urgency on primary and preventive care. Most national deaths and disabilities come from non-communicable diseases – heart disease, diabetes, cancers. Prevention costs far less than treatment. Health financing should prioritise screenings, physical activity, nutritional education and early intervention.

    Secondly, Government must re-evaluate its management systems.

    Better scheduling, reduced bureaucracy, faster patient flow, functioning equipment and accountability are not luxuries – they are necessities. Expansion of the QEH is welcome, but bricks and mortar alone will not fix inefficiency.

    Finally, Barbados must build a coordinated, people-first model, one that blends public and private care through partnerships, shared records and subsidised access where needed. No Barbadian should navigate illness alone.

    The lines we saw were a warning. The most humane response is not blame, but reform. It must be swift, serious and centred on the patient.

    Almost 2 500 outpatient consultations and more than 2 000 examinations took place in seven days. Over 200 surgeries and procedures were completed. That volume in one week is not just commendable – it is alarming.

    Vaccines and respiratory illness

    by DR COLIN V. ALERT WE ARE GREETED by news of the overwhelming of services at the Accident & Emergency (A&E) of our lone tertiary institution the Queen Elizabeth Hospital by respiratory illnesses, and are reminded that this annual event occurs to coincide with the influx of tourists into the island during the winter months. Many of these tourists come from countries that are experiencing major increases in respiratory illnesses.

    If this is an annual “flu season” event, what evidence do we have that the Ministry of Health and Wellness annually puts “something” in place to deal with it. It almost seems that telling people not to come to the A&E Department, go to the 24-hour emergency clinic, or go to your local polyclinic or private doctor is the “something” that the Ministry of Health has decided upon. Perhaps the Chinese medical ship can be invited to become annual long-stay visitors.

    Officials from the Ministry of Health point out that the common viruses in circulation, and causing the surge in respiratory illness, include the influenza (“flu”) virus, the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. These are all different viruses, but they cause similar symptoms, and they all seek out vulnerable individuals.

    Effect on productivity

    Viral respiratory illness symptoms often include cough, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, sneezing, fever, headache, and fatigue, affecting the nose, throat, and lungs, with variations like wheezing, body aches, chills, and sometimes loss of taste/smell or digestive issues, depending on the specific virus (like flu, COVID-19, RSV, or common cold).

    Among the vulnerable individuals are the elderly, and those with multiple co-morbidities (also known as non-communicable diseases) like obesity, diabetes and hypertension. There is no short supply of individuals who fall in one or the other (and often both) of these categories around here. All available data points to the growing elderly population, and a very high prevalence of the non-communicable diseases here.

    There may be less vulnerable people in the workforce, but these respiratory illnesses often have a negative effect on productivity, as many affected workers are forced to stay at home.

    Vaccination is an established and effective preventative strategy to protect against respiratory viral infections, reducing morbidity and mortality, minimising the potential for long-term complications, and mitigating exacerbation of existing health conditions. Getting vaccinated can reduce one’s chances of getting infected, but its main strength is preventing severe illness and death. Included in this is having to spend days in the A&E Department awaiting medical care. An effective vaccination programme can also lower the levels of virus circulating in the population, so less people get sick, less people need to go to the hospital, less people miss work or school, and overall the community is in a better place. Unfortunately adult vaccination has rarely been a priority of the Ministry of Health, and vaccination as a concept was subjected to a sustained onslaught by the “nonvaxxers” during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the cynicism was directed to the speed at which the anti-COVID vaccine appeared on the scene, very shortly after the early (and deadly) strains of COVID-19 appeared. So, even in the face of an annual surge of respiratory illnesses, the potential role for “older” vaccines to prevent or mitigate the surges, much less the suffering and death, has perhaps been downplayed.

    Getting vaccinated helps protect vulnerable people around you, such as infants, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. This concept is known as herd immunity. Vaccines increase herd immunity and help protect many of those who aren’t vaccinated. Preventing serious illness and complications saves our A&E Department and the hospital wards, and even the Ministry of Finance. A gramme of prevention is cheaper than a kilogramme of cure.

    Our geriatric institutions seem to be particularly susceptible to outbreaks of respiratory viral illnesses, based on the frequent reports that reach the mainstream media. Many of these institutionalised persons have multiple co-morbidities, and they should get priority consideration for vaccination programmes.

    Should be priority

    Many younger adults think of themselves as being “perfectly healthy” and any flu-like illness is treated with lots of vitamin C, plenty fluids, a couple of paracetamol, and perhaps a Vicks rubdown. Unfortunately, while the virus circulates in the home, both the baby and the grandparents are at risk for developing serious disease. At school or work, classmates or work colleagues may be affected.

    Vaccinations, also known as immunisations already play a vital role in protecting the health of our young people. This current surge or spike in respiratory illnesses tells us that we need to focus in adults as well, particularly our elderly population.

    Preventing disease should be a priority. There are specific vaccines that “target” these three main viruses that cause the annual respiratory illness surges here. A reconstituted adult vaccination programme, implemented annually, targeting all adults and not only those vulnerable individuals, would go a long was to reducing the load on the A&E Department. While we welcome our visitors, we must protect ourselves and our peoples. Appropriate adult vaccination can accomplish this.

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was noted by some critics of the draconian lockdown policies and vaccine mandates (forcing what were in effect experimental, new technology, so-called vaccines on a large proportion of humanity) that these new, more restrictive and societally harmful policies were significant changes from vaccine handling policies in previous epidemics.

    The World Health Organization played a significant role in this coordinated attack on innate immunity through its strategic redefinition of “herd immunity.” Before October of 2020 the WHO acknowledged that populations can reach collective immunity—herd immunity– by widespread “natural immunity developed through previous infection.” Then the WHO proclaimed that herd immunity can only be attained only when a “threshold of vaccination is reached.” See this.

    This WHO pronouncement promoted the inaccurate claim that vaccine-induced immunity is more effective than natural immunity. The main health division of the United Nations thereby sanctioned what amounted to an industrial takeover of the core mechanisms governing human interactions with disease.

    This change helped to clear the way for the global push to universalize COVID-19 injections, an unprecedented campaign that we can now see in retrospect as the thin edge of the wedge in the technocratic takeover of bodily autonomy. So far there has been almost no space afforded by governments or the media for open public discussion and democratic due process on the corporate implementation of this transhumanist agenda.

    Now we learn from the latest releases of the Epstein files that for several years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s most notorious pedophile, sex maniac,  shadow financer, money launderer and intelligence agency asset, Jeffrey Epstein, was working closely with Bill Gates, The Gates Foundation, and JP Morgan bankers to turn pandemic handling into a new profit centre.


    Epstein Pitched JPMorgan Chase on Plan to Get Bill Gates ‘More Money for Vaccines’

    In the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bill Gates and key figures from the Gates Foundation regularly interacted with Jeffrey Epstein, discussing ways to finance and develop a global pandemic preparedness and vaccination network, according to the latest “Epstein Files.”

    February 10, 2026

    In the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bill Gates and key figures from the Gates Foundation regularly interacted with Jeffrey Epstein, discussing ways to finance and develop a global pandemic preparedness and vaccination network.

    The communications between Gates and Epstein were included in the “Epstein Files” released Jan. 30 by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Last year’s passage of the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act prompted the release.

    Sayer Ji told The Defender the files show that Epstein “functioned as a switchboard” connecting “hedge funds, central banks, billionaires, academic institutions and global health initiatives.”

    Ji published his analysis of health- and medical-related information in the files in a series of Substack articles and posts on X.

    Seamus Bruner, director of research at the Government Accountability Institute, said the files revealed the workings of a network of “Controligarchs on steroids, but with shocking new receipts.”

    Bruner said the files showed that Epstein helped develop “the architecture for pandemic profiteering” years before the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The documents largely date from the 2010s — after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting underage sex and his inclusion on a registry of sex offenders.

    Ji noted that months before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the same actors who appear in the Epstein files participated in Event 201 — a simulation of a global pandemic caused by a coronavirus.

    The pandemic preparedness infrastructure built in the years before the pandemic helped lead to this simulation, Ji wrote.

    PAHO

    Anyone who found themselves bound to any of these monsters were MANDATED to comply… as was our Eddykashun poppets – with that survey.

    Expensive screening may reduce check-ups

    CONGRATULATIONS TO the Barbados Cancer Registry on the production of its report for 2024 on the available statistics from 2013 up to 2020. The percentage of cases across the population remains essentially the same, as do the one-year survivals of two-thirds of the cases.

    Unfortunately, the cancer registry does not get sufficient information to provide information on prevention, detection and the results of treatment at the various stages at which the cases present.

    It is noteworthy that there was some increase in cases from 2019 to 2020, the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, since the expectation would have been a decrease as many patients did not attend for ‘routine’ medical care in the COVID years. Nevertheless, deaths from cancer were shown to increase in the COVID years 2021-22 and this can probably be attributed to the presentation of patients in their late stages.

    Over many years there have been well-publicised [on a yearly basis] efforts by the Barbados Cancer Society of screening for the two most common cancers found in the population. A good deal of screening for the common cancers, prostate, breast, colo-rectal as well as cervical cancer, also occurs in medical practices throughout the island. The proportion of cancer screening that is carried outside of the Cancer Society is not known.

    No studies

    PSA blood test screening for prostate cancer and X-ray mammography for breast cancer are carried out under the aegis of the Barbados Cancer Society, but there are no studies to say what proportion is done in either sector. Screening for colorectal cancer by colonoscopy and cervical cancer by Pap smear have been less well-publicised and are offered in the Barbados health Services but are not offered by the Cancer Society.

    Screening programmes target an asymptomatic population at risk and are intended to pick up the individuals with cancers at an early asymptomatic stage when they have a good chance of being cured.

    Should be evaluated

    Such programmes run on a population-wide basis should be evaluated as any other medical measure, not only for the number of cases detected but the costeffectiveness and ‘buy-in’ of the population being screened.

    I am unaware of any published assessment of the screening programmes conducted by the Barbados cancer society and therefore am disturbed by a call for a more expensive screening test to be introduced for prostate cancer detection. The test being referred to by the president of the Cancer Society is not a screening test as stated by the manufacturers, it is used to “assess cancer risk and progression, offering a score to guide further evaluation like biopsies”. To evaluate any measure for screening, assessment or treatment it must be evaluated alongside the existing methods.

    PSA screening interpreted and investigated by knowledgeable practitioners has been shown in large studies in Europe and elsewhere to reduce the overall mortality of prostate cancer. These studies have concluded that although PSA is not a one-stop diagnostic tool [nothing is], it remains the best tool available for screening, early detection and treatment. Such early detection along with expert treatment reduces mortality, particularly among the younger persons affected.

    What is under discussion in these studies is – at what age should screening start and at what age should it stop? The latter is raised since early detection in the elderly over 70 years may not warrant any major treatment intervention, for such patients usually die with the disease rather than from it.

    Suffice it to say such withdrawal of screening in the elderly is difficult to get across to patients and they are offered the alternative of less radical [hormonal] treatment than the younger patients, who may be offered surgery or radiation treatment as well as medication.

    Mammography screening for breast cancer is one of a number of methods tried and advocated for screening the breast. Like the PSA it is a diagnostic indicator and there are other assessments that have to be made in those patients with positive findings. These other forms of assessments are more specific as well as more expensive and therefore are not recommended for screening an asymptomatic population.

    It is expected, indeed hoped that the majority screened will prove to not have cancer. Studies of mammographic screening programmes have raised similar issues to PSA screening related to the age at which such screening should start and end.

    Without some study of the Barbados Cancer Society screening programme to show that the introduction of more expensive screening tests would result in the detection of more early-stage cancers in the population, any such proposal could lead to less people volunteering to be screened because of the cost and result in a reduction in early cancer detection.

    Ghana connections.

    “A 3+3 medical degree programme is also offered in collaboration with the University of Ghana. Under this arrangement, students complete a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Preclinical Sciences at Cave Hill before progressing to the University of Ghana for three years of clinical training. The accredited programme enables graduates to earn a BSc from UWI and an MB ChB from the University of Ghana, which allows them to practise professionally in either country. “
