Update On My Long Recovery from Vaccine Injury
Dear Luminaries, after the huge excitement of attending my first proper press trip in six years on Guernsey, getting to meet Dr Peter McCullough MD, the fearless doctor and scientist who saved my life after my vaccine injuries worsened, and interviewing Del Bigtree, and generally having a fantastic time, I returned home and felt elated and also, strangely very, very tired.
I wrote this feature the day after I returned home. It was just as well that I did as within days I could not form a thought.
A few days later, I developed a respiratory infection and severe fever, and it has taken me more than four and half months to recover. It has felt like vaccine injury 2.0. I had severe exhaustion, brain fog, cluster headaches, along with intense aches, constant chills and my body drying out which reignited one of my main vaccine injuries, Sjogren's Syndrome. I felt as if my body was turning into a desert from the inside out. To add context, Sjogren's had damaged my digestive tract, which is where our immune systems live. I am convinced this is why I have been so ill, together with my ongoing to challenge to remove the Spike Protein from my cells and prevent autoimmunity).
Golly, I haven't felt this bad since 25.05.2021. Complete rest was essential. I spent three weeks in bed. Before the vaccine injury, I didn't get colds or flu. I am glad to report that I am finally feeling better after drinking a lot of homemade bone broth, sitting in the Spring sunshine on my little roof terrace, grounding and taking a lot of food state vitamin C and D and zinc and attending a workshop with the amazing Dr Sarah Myhill. I will now be implementing the Dr Myhill Infection protocol as my holistic suit of armour for my next journalistic adventure.
Now I am getting into sound healing with Banah Winn and I can feel a powerful shift in my consciousness taking place and my dynamic focus is slowly returning.
I have also started writing my story of the last five years. Very soon, I will start to publish extracts to our paid supporters. You can help spur me on to keep writing and tell my remarkable story of survival and recovery.

The Healing Beyond Covid Conference, Premiere and Exhibition
"There's a rebel lying deep in my soul." Clint Eastwood

I can tell you dear reader, that I have never had quite so much fun as I did taking a slow, stately ferry across the English Channel to St Peter Port and hanging out on the small island of Guernsey in February with a effervescent, luminary bunch of the whose who of rebel doctors, scientists, filmmakers, journalists, a classical violinist and activists at the World Council for Health Summit and Exhibition. The weekend summit also featured the premiere of Del Bigtree's film An Inconvenient Study on the US Childhood vaccine schedule and the remarkable lack of placebo controlled safety trials.
I love journalism and it is an exciting time to be alive!
I was there with Dr Peter McCullough, Del Bigtree, Neil Oliver, Emeritus Professor Angus Dalgleish, John Leake, Dr Tina Peers, Dr Chris Flowers, Dr Tess Lawrie and Alexander Lee Briard and all the other rebel Luminaries and alas, very few journalists (apart from myself, Del and a few local reporters) who spoke out during Covid and found camaraderie and a movement to restore and burnish our health, champion real food and shout from the rooftops about taking back our democratic freedoms across the globe.
Del Bigtree did that too and he was like a lion!
The Most Personal Journalism Assignment, Ever

The trip was deeply personal for me, as it was Dr Peter McCullough MD who came to my aid when no one else did with life threatening vaccine injury syndromes in the summer of 2023. My recovery is now approaching five years and I am still a work in progress. This is the story of Healing Beyond Covid Conference, Del Bigtree's Inconvenient Study Documentary Premiere and the functional and holistic health exhibition which ran in tandem with the conference. Check out Dr Peter McCullough's popular, witty and forensic Substack, produced with his erudite sidekick, historian John Leake. Courageous Discourse - John's meticulous attention, knowledge and understanding of global history is peerless, elegant, inquisitive, highly entertaining and meticulous researched.
More than anything, the conference and exhibition and whirlwind of lunches and dinners was a much needed chance to talk, exchange ideas, meet people and create and strengthen our bonds and networks. I didn't expect it to be so exhilarating or so much fun. Being in a room with some of the bravest doctors, filmmakers and scientists on the planet will do that. Out of a global crime against humanity, a warrior movement has been born.
How the Healing Beyond Covid Summit Unfolded
Robert Kennedy's Junior's MAHA revolution landed on the small Channel Island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands in early February 2026 and the people came in their hundreds from the US, UK and Europe to see the sell-out premiere of US journalist Del Bigtree's explosive documentary An Inconvenient Study. The film unfolds like a thriller and starkly lays bare, at last, the truth of the health status of unvaccinated children versus vaccinated children as conducted by the Henry Ford Study of 2020, and the herecy that surrounds publishing the unvarnished truth - America's vaccinated children are very, very sick and that mantra that childhood vaccines are safe is nothing better than the well-rehearsed scam of the century.
The Unvaccinated Children are Thriving
There is good news too. The unvaccinated children are thriving. The premiere of An Inconvenient Study was followed by The World Council for Health Healing Beyond Covid Conference and functional and holistic health Exhibition. The summit ran for almost twelve hours with back to back lectures by the whose who of leading doctors, scientists and journalists who spoke out about the origins of Covid, the vaccine mandates and lockdowns and went on to treat and support the vaccine injured. Despite the horrible events of the past six years, the talks were grounded in science, wit and data and some beautiful and illustrious medical and scientific minds. World Council for Health.

The highlights, were lectures by Emeritus Professor Angus Dalgleish, Dr Peter McCullough, Dr Tess Lawrie and Dr Flowers and the raise the roof call to action by US journalist and filmmaker, Del Bigtree. Neil Oliver was the eloquent, wise-owl master of ceremonies who resembles a professor from a more enlightened age. Maybe Hogwarts school for young wizards. Rising star violinist, Alexander Lee Briard, performed two pieces over the weekend. The first was the theme from Schindler's List. Briard closed the conference with Queen's incendiary anthem, Who Wants to Live Forever?

An exciting array of international and local natural health exhibitors ran in tandem with the lectures. Highlights included a local community organic farm which provided the raw ingredients for a deliciously inventive, jewel-coloured lunch that looked almost too beautiful to eat - to cutting edge health companies including Shiftwave USA's eponymous chair which offers pulsed magnetic waves to to reset the nervous system.
After a session, I decided it was the closest thing to taking a vacation for your mind without walking along a beach. I looked and felt beatific after my session on the chair. The Shiftwave chair was originally designed to treat American veteran's with PTSD and has been brought to the UK by holistic health sage Clive de Carle. The only snag is the price tag. The chair costs approximately £8,500 plus a hefty helping of VAT on top in the UK.
The mood at the conference was optimistic, fearless, fast-paced and full of zing. There was a feeling that history was being made. The event has lit a fire, and it will be talked about for years to come.
Del Bigtree, Presenter of the Highwire News Show

You might ask why Del Bigtree presenter of The Highwire online news and talk show with millions of views and RFK Junior's 2024 presidential campaign director, would take a small plane to a small island in the Channel Islands? Why was he joined by the the world's leading doctors, scientists and professors to spark a regenerative and holistic health revolution and to talk about freedom.
Why Guernsey?
Let me enlighten you. Due to draconian measures enacted by the government of The Channel Islands, which limited freedom of movement like never before, the island has one of the most vaccinated populations in the world for Covid-19 at 97%. The inhabitants were coerced into taking the novel Covid-19 injections in order to exist.
People came to The Healing Beyond Covid Conference for solidarity, for answers, to see the premiere of An Inconvenient Study and to get help with the people they had lost and for those of us struggling with vaccine injury. The injured who belong to The Guernsey Covid Vaccine Injury Group also came to tell the world about their suffering and long-term recovery which is ongoing, and to discuss how to stop this crime against humanity, ever happening again.
More than anything the vaccine injured just needed to be heard. I know that.
Covid - Epstein Allegedly Call it a Business Opportunity
It all happened in real time, as the latest tranche of Epstein files revealed that a former maths teacher, and one of the most depraved people to ever walk this earth wasn't just involved in the sex trafficking of young girls on an industrial scale. It is alleged that Epstein was also at the heart in planning the Covid pandemic as far back as 2015/16. Epstein, who has been likened to the devil described the pandemic as a 'business opportunity'.
Let that sink in for a moment. Fast forward to 2026, and Epstein's genocidal business venture is estimated to have killed millions and transferred trillions in wealth from ordinary, everyday people to a handful of depraved billionaires.
So let's get into the documentary An Inconvenient Study.
An Inconvenient Study - The Luminaries Review
An Inconvenient Study is like watching a thriller. It opens with stark statistics about the rise in chronic disease in American children. Forty years ago, one in 10,000 children received an autism diagnosis. Today, that figure is one in every 31 children.
Journalist Del Bigtree producer of the film Vaxxed which was kicked off the schedule of Robert De Niro's Tribeca Film Festival back in 2016, had gathered hundreds of testimonials from the parents of vaccine-injured children of life-altering injury and harm occurring within hours of vaccination. But how do you prove that the vaccine schedule which has grown from 3 doses to 72 vaccine doses up until 2025, is causing that harm when the pharmaceutical industry has been given immunity from prosecution and controls the conversation?
The Religion of Vaccines - Vaccines, Idealogy, Myths and Reality
Vaccines have become a religious, money making cult as constitutional lawyer extraordinaire, Aaron Suri, outlines in his book- Vaccines, Amen. Sadly, it was ever thus. Dr Peter McCullough MD and historian John Leake explore the history, rhetoric and idealogy of vaccines in - Vaccines - Mythology, Idealogy and Reality. A historical and medical tour de force book that should be in every home as it wittily and forensically uncovers the fascinating and often dubious outcomes and history of vaccinology for three hundred years.
The Testimonies from the Families and Children
Del Bigtree's film opens with testimonials from the parents of injured children and in one case a teenage boy who was paralysed after the HPV vaccine. Cole loved motocross sports and he was a teenager full of life, vitality and good health. Now a box attached to a hose which goes into a hole in his neck has to breathe for him. Cole ended up taking his life in 2018 because he didn't want to be a burden to his family.
The Vaccine Injured Triplets - Richie, Robbie and Clare
The parents of triplets Richie, Robbie and Clare, describe how each child was turned off within hours of having the MMR Vaccines. They also laid bare what life is like with three injured, highly dependant children. The medical authorities immediately moved to blame the tragedy on the genetics of the triplets who were thriving and developing normally before vaccination. The geneticist hired by the parents to look at the case said it was genetically impossible for three children to each be turned off and develop profound autism on the same day of vaccination.
Childhood Vaccines and Safety Data
The film also uncovers the shocking truth about childhood vaccines and safety. The mantra is that vaccines are safe and effective. The facts tell a different story. The entire childhood schedule is based around vaccines that do not come with placebo blind trials. Instead, each new vaccine is tested against a previous vaccine. What hits home is the level of arrogance and a lack of moral compass from the doctor's and vaccine scientists who have profited from vaccines for decades. The childhood vaccine schedule is based on a belief that the vaccines are safe, while the science and data to back that up does not exist.
So, what do you do as investigative journalist to get to the truth?
The Study - Vaccinated Children V Unvaccinated Children
You ask one of America's top epidemiologists to conduct a study on vaccinated children v unvaccinated children. Dr Marcus Zervos became a hero during the Flint River, Michigan water poisoning scandal and for championing the therapeutic use of hydroxychloroquine as an early treatment protocol for Covid-19 infection.
A Meeting with Dr Zerbov
Del Bigtree went to see Dr Zervos at the world-renowned Henry Ford Medical Centre and at the end of the meeting, Zervos agreed to do the study. The year was 2020. Bigtree's elation soon turns to frustration when time goes by and nothing happens. Three years come and go and Bigtree receives word that the study has finally been completed. Then comes the bombshell. Zervos declares he won't publish the results.
This is when the documentary gets very interesting. Bigtree asks if he can meet Zervos for dinner and ask him why he won't publish. He goes wired up to record the conversation over dinner.
Del Bigtree Goes Undercover
Now, some of you reading this might be appalled that Del Bigtree went undercover and secretly filmed the conversation with Dr Zervos. What would you do, having interviewed the families of thousands of injured children? Some of those children are now dead and the rest have been robbed of a life and future.
During the meal, Zervos cites fellow epidemiologist Dr Peter McCullough, the doctor who developed the McCullough Protocol and says he admires his stance during and after Covid, but he doesn't want to be treated the same way and loose his job at the prestigious Henry Ford Medical Institute. At the same time, he acknowledges that the study has revealed findings of national and international significance for child health. " It's important information, because it does show a difference in the groups," he states.
A Study of National and International Significance
Bigtree pushes him and says how can they help America's children if they don't publish the findings.
Zervos says, " I don't want to say that it isn't the right thing to do. It is the right thing to do. I don't wanna. Publishing something like that... I might as well retire; I will be finished."
A Scientist Afraid to Publish His Own Findings
Now, it is clear from the outset that Dr Zervos cares for humanity and that he is a good man. He agreed to do the study in the first place. Tragically, and it is a terrible stain on America's leading health institutes, Zervos is afraid to publish the findings. Science and scientific integrity and autonomy has been captured and scientists are not free to publish what they find or to do the research they want to do, free of vested interests. The current times are equivalent to the inquisition. If you go against the narrative, you are a heretic.
It is in this climate of fear, that journalist Del Bigtree finished the film and published Dr Zervos's study. Now that study is travelling around the globe with millions of downloads and views so far and the findings have been debated in European Parliaments.
Pharma Given Immunity from Prosecution in 1986
What is clear is that entire world needs to get involved. In 1986, Ronald Reagan granted immunity from prosecution to the pharmaceutical companies after they were hit with lawsuits for injuring America's children. Reagan did so under pressure and lobbying. That decision is at the heart of the problem.
Where the film succeeds is in showing us the depth of the capture of institutions and public health and the tragic and catastrophic effect that greed, control, lying and idealogy are having on humanity, human health and our children. The world and its people, especially its children, have never been sicker, the question is what are we all going to do about it?
