Commenting on this, the Scottish Public Health Observatory said: "Those causes are complex, multiple and interwoven. "In Glasgow's case, the main finding was that the city's population was made more vulnerable to factors which impacted on health across the UK (e.g poverty, deprivation, deindustrialisation, economic decisions taken at UK government level), consequently leading to poorer health than in other places which had similar experiences." Looking at the wider picture, the BHF reported that overall early deaths from cardiovascular disease were most common in the north of England, central Scotland and the south of Wales.

New research published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences explains that a more correct way of referring to Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) "vaccines" is to instead call them "gene therapy products" - because they have absolutely nothing to do with vaccination or inoculation. Since the start of the fake "pandemic," government authorities both in the Trump and Biden regimes have erroneously referred to these things as "vaccines" when the fact of the matter is that they are DNA-modifying poisons that never should have been authorized or approved the way they were.
