1,600 medical doctors, scientists, and academics have signed onto the ‘The Hope Accord,’ warning that ‘the widespread rollout of the novel Covid-19 mRNA vaccine products is contributing to an alarming rise in disability and excess deaths.’

A group of over 1,600 medical doctors, scientists, and academics have signed a statement calling for the “immediate suspension” of the mRNA COVID shots.

The statement entitled “The Hope Accord” was signed on July 3. Its most notable signatories were diagnostic pathologist Dr. Clare Craig, physician and YouTuber Dr. Suneel Dhand, and evolutionary biologist and podcaster Professor Bret Weinstein. The statement has gained 26,281 total supporters, including 811 medical doctors, 2,102 other healthcare professionals, and 867 scientists and academics.

“A growing body of evidence suggests that the widespread rollout of the novel Covid-19 mRNA vaccine products is contributing to an alarming rise in disability and excess deaths,” the statement begins.

“The association observed between the vaccine rollout and these concerning trends is now supported by additional significant findings.”

“These include the discovery of plausible biological mechanisms of harm demonstrated in laboratory and autopsy studies, as well as high rates of adverse events seen in randomised clinical trials and national surveillance programs.”

“Altogether, these observations indicate a causal link,” the group of experts concludes.

“This new technology was granted emergency use authorisation to address a situation that no longer exists,” the statement continues. “Going forward, the burden of proof falls on those still advocating for these products to compellingly demonstrate that they aren’t resulting in net harm. Until such evidence is presented, regulators should suspend their use as a matter of standard medical precaution.”

The scientists lament that during the COVID crisis, “Fundamental and cherished principles of medical ethics were disregarded” under the pretense of an emergency situation.

“These included: ‘first do no harm’, informed consent, bodily autonomy and the notion that adults protect children – not the other way around.”

“Also, particularly concerning was the erosion of free speech – a democratic principle that underpinned the ability to question untested interventions whilst ensuring other principles were upheld.”

“The consequence was exposing the public, especially healthy young people – including children – to unacceptable risks of harm,” the experts stated.

“The medical profession must lead by admitting we lost our way,” the group of doctors and other academics said. “By drawing attention to these medical and ethical issues surrounding the Covid-19 response, we hope to validate and amplify the call to establish the relevant facts and ensure vital lessons are learned.”

“An honest and thorough investigation is needed, addressing the root causes that have led us to this place, including institutional groupthink, conflicts of interest and the suppression of scientific debate.”

“We ultimately seek a renewed commitment to the core principles of ethical medicine, returning to an era in which we strive for transparency, accountability and responsible decision-making throughout the spheres of medicine and public health,” the experts conclude.

As the medical expert pointed out in “The Hope Accord,” overwhelming evidence has shown that the experimental COVID injections have caused millions of deaths and serious injuries, and the dramatic pronouncement of a former Japanese government minister apologizing for such deaths attests to that.

In addition to evidence of deaths and serious injuries due to the COVID jabs, it has furthermore been shown that the injections are ineffective in preventing the transmission of the virus.
