  68. ‘No member of the COVID-19 JCVI sub-committee declared conflicts of interest. Leaving the lay member aside, 5 of the 14 members reported information in their ‘non-declaration’ that could be seen as a conflict of interest. I did a cursory search on those who declared nothing – even in additional information. Of these 9 members, 6 had something that could be seen as a conflict of interest, while 3 didn’t. The majority of the COVID-19 JCVI sub-committee members have conflicts of interest. These members don’t seem to realise that their research or institution receiving huge sums of money from pharmaceutical companies and/or the Gates Foundation is a conflict of interest. The main information page about the JCVI on the UK government web site describes the JCVI as the body that “advises UK health departments on immunisation” (Ref 27). It does not report the body as independent. The Code of Practice does, however (Ref 28). “The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI, the Committee) is an independent Departmental Expert Committee and a statutory body.” Independent from what? The government, maybe, but not from industry. Members of the COVID-19 JCVI sub-committee work for organisations that receive approximately $1,000,000,000 – one billion dollars – from the Gates Foundation. Has this committee truly been able to provide an independent assessment of the risk and reward of the main products of interest of the Gates Foundation?’ - Dr Zöe Harcombe Ph.D.
