Today is Roy Butler's birthday

He should be 27 years old

Today is Roy Butler’s birthday. He should be 27 years old.

For the rest of their lives, the Butler family will mark this day without their beloved Roy. For those that loved him, he is forever 23. The family still have questions. Their search for truth continues.

The Butlers achieved something hugely significant in bringing Roy’s story to the national stage through the inquest into his death. The inquest uncovered uncomfortable truths, in particular around Johnson and Johnson’s safety and manufacturing protocols and their safety monitoring mechanisms.

However, there are multiple aspects of the circumstances surrounding Roy’s sudden and untimely death that the inquest did not delve into.

The following aspects require further investigation:

The circumstances of why Roy felt he had to take a vaccine – having stated his opposition to doing so – went largely undiscussed.

The HPRA, the national regulator of medicines and medical devices in Ireland, did not feature at proceedings beyond the reading into evidence of a one page statement.

No witness from The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) was present. NIAC provides evidence-based advice to the Chief Medical Officer and Department of Health on vaccines, immunisation and related health matters to inform health policies in Ireland.

There was no mention of autopsy protocols that specifically seek to detect vaccine related harms. There was no representative of the Faculty of Pathology at the RCPI called to discuss what is known of such protocols. There was some confusion over the dates of Roy’s vaccine administration, pertaining to whether the catastrophic brain bleed that killed Roy, fell inside specific dates linked to known deaths post Janssen vaccine.

Perhaps the most unusual anomaly for this Substack, was Coroner Philip Comyn’s decision for the method of his delivery of the verdict. It is not normal practice for a verdict to be delivered to a family via email to their legal team. Under normal circumstances, a verdict is delivered in court - in public – directly to the family. In all the years attending inquests as a reporter, I have never seen a verdict delivered to a family in this manner.

I plan to deal with each of these aspects in further detail in a series of articles to be published in November, traditionally a month for remembering the dead, in remembrance of Roy and all others that died untimely deaths post covid 19 vaccine.

At the People’s Vaccine Inquiry in Dublin earlier this month, barrister Una McGurk raised questions about aspects of Roy’s inquest.

Thank you to Una McGurk for mention of Dr Arne Burkhardt’s protocols for the detection of spike protein at autopsy.

I found the following paragraphs of particular interest in her commentary:

“Another very significant aspect of this tragedy is the fact that Roy Butler did not need to take any vaccine in order to travel to Dubai, contrary to what was stated by the coroner at this inquest.

“Prior to August the 18th, quarantine rules in relation to travel to Dubai apply to both vaccinated and unvaccinated passengers traveling from Ireland. But Roy Butler and others like him, some 700,000, in fact, were not aware of this fact due to a serious and deliberate misinformation campaign conducted by the Irish media and health officials.

“The Irish government deliberately distorted the EU digital COVID pass legislation in July 2021 by removing the option for antigen testing when implementing the measures into domestic legislation.”

The full transcript of Una McGurk’s commentary is published below. I recommend that readers  watch the video, the commentary on Roy Butler begins around four minutes in and continues for less than ten minutes.

Una McGurk Transcript:

“Now, before I introduce our panel, I wish to make some comments which are relevant and timely in wake of the recent, highly publicized Roy Butler inquest.

The late Roy Butler, a fit, healthy and renowned sportsman who was only 23 years of age, passed from this world on August 17th of 2021, having suffered a massive intracranial bleed for days following the receipt of a one shot Janssen vaccine manufactured by Johnson and Johnson. A recent coroner's inquest returned a narrative verdict of a spontaneous intracranial bleed in which the coroner stated that on the balance of probabilities, he could not conclude that it was caused by the vaccine.

However, the evidence at the inquest was that from the moment Roy received the Janssen injection, he experienced debilitating adverse symptoms which were documented verbally to his family with whom he lived, and which debilitating symptoms were witnessed first-hand by them, and also he documented his symptoms in written text form to his friends. Four days later, he collapsed with convulsions, vomiting and loss of consciousness.

And on the fifth day he was pronounced dead following transfer to Cork University Hospital. Dr. Bolster, who was the assistant state pathologist who conducted the postmortem, stated that a causal link to the vaccine could not be established. But she also stated, more importantly, that it could not be ruled out. There was evidence adduced that others who received the same injection suffered intracranial bleeds and there were up to 400 reports of intracerebral hemorrhages as a result of receipt of this injection, and that at least 59 people died in similar circumstance to Roy Butler.

Johnson and Johnson, whilst denying that their vaccine had caused the death, admitted that they had no long term safety data and that there was no follow up of patients in the clinical trials. Now, under Section 18a of the Coroners Act, one of the purposes of an inquest is to establish the circumstances in which the death occurred, but only if the coroner considers it necessary.

It was open to the coroner to establish the circumstances of the death, but he chose not to do so. The circumstances of this young man's death were in the context of immediate, severe, continuing and debilitating symptoms following an injection of a Janssen product which led to an intracranial bleed and ultimately is pronounced death within five days. The question has to be asked: why did the coroner choose not to?

Was he afraid it might open the floodgates and expose the Irish state to accountability and or legal challenge? Why did he not return a verdict of medical misadventure as urged by the barrister for the family of the deceased? The coroner did, as part of his recommendations, urge notification of adverse reactions to the vaccine vaccines generally to the authorities, which is somewhat bizarre given that he ignored such evidence himself in the case of Roy Butler.

However, there is already a voluntary system of reporting in place here. What is required is not a voluntary system, but one mandated by law. In addition, why is it that Irish pathologists are not applying (German pathologist) Dr. Arne Burkhardt’s test to determine definitively the causative effect of a vaccine on death? And why does this test not form part of the coroner's recommendations?

For this, I must give credit to investigative journalist Louise Roseingrave, who has brought this important matter to all our intentions.

Furthermore, it is imperative that the government's proposed no blame COVID inquiry should not be allowed to proceed. But instead the people of Ireland must demand a proper inquiry which provides full accountability, openness and transparency about what the state high ranking health officials and the propaganda machine have done to the people of Ireland so that it will never, ever happen again.

A no-blame inquiry will be nothing more than a box ticking exercise and a waste of public resources, relying upon voluntary cooperation and with no power to compel witnesses or documentation. An inquiry should be made only in accordance with statutory powers such as the Tribunal of Inquiry Evidence Acts, or other such statutory and legislation.

The verdict in any inquest is on the balance of probabilities.

There was ample, if not overwhelming evidence from which to make a finding that Roy Butler died from injuries sustained as a result of the taking of this injection. There was no other probable cause. What could possibly have caused the intracranial bleed other than what was administered from a Janssen vial?

Another very significant aspect of this tragedy is the fact that Roy Butler did not need to take any vaccine in order to travel to Dubai, contrary to what was stated by the coroner at this inquest.

Prior to August the 18th, quarantine rules in relation to travel to Dubai apply to both vaccinated and unvaccinated passengers traveling from Ireland. But Roy Butler and others like him, some 700,000 in fact, were not aware of this fact due to a serious and deliberate misinformation campaign conducted by the Irish media, health officials and mainstream media.

The Irish government deliberately distorted the EU digital COVID pass legislation in July 2021 by removing the option for antigen testing when implementing the measures into domestic legislation. As a consequence, young people like Roy Butler, who had endured one of the harshest lockdowns in the world, who wanted to participate in life again by going to a pub, working out in a gym or traveling to a warm destination for some sun in Europe, were not aware of their government's deception and that they had, under EU law, the option of taking an antigen test instead of a vaccine, as it was deliberately removed by the government as an option. The then Taoiseach Leo Varadkar lied on public record by stating that the COVID pass legislation was not discriminatory as Ireland was following the rest of Europe.

The reality was that Ireland was the testing ground for the COVID pass, and it was thereafter that France and Germany followed suit.

This was discrimination and the Irish Human Rights Equality Commission failed in its duty to monitor and flag the discriminatory nature of the domestic legislation as it was not compliant with the Charter of Fundamental Rights. It also reveals the failure of politicians to ensure pre-legislative scrutiny of such important legislation. As a consequence, some 700,000 young people between the ages of 18 and 29 took a vaccine that they may not have had to take because of the state's coercive tactics.

At the time Ireland only had a vaccination rate of approximately 42%, and there was evidence that young people in particular were initially not taking up the offer to take the so-called vaccines when the portal for their age group opened up. The EU legislation was passed in June. The domestic legislation, the implementing legislation, was passed in July. Our young people, suffering from the effects of one of the harshest and longest lockdowns in the world, dealing with an exponential rise in suicide and mental illness, desperate to reintegrate into a society that had rejected them for so long, were led like lambs to the slaughter.

They took the vaccine just so that they could go on a date, go to the gym, have a drink in a pub, or travel to get some sun. They believed there was no other option available to them because of the deception of their government in transposing the EU regulation.

One can only reasonably deduce that this was done deliberately by the Irish government and that the only reasonable conclusion that could be drawn was that it was a coercive tactic to increase the vaccination rate. Some four months later, Professor Mills said Trinity College University lecturer in an interview with Sky, said “Yes, the COVID pass did the trick.”

The vaccination rate had gone up by 50%. The young people of Ireland were tricked by their government so that they could increase the vaccination rate to please the globalist overlords.

Ireland, as a consequence, has now one of the highest, if not the highest, vaccination rates in the world. It is over 90%. No attempt was made to apply the precautionary principle and now we are witnessing the devastating effects that this is having on our population on a daily basis with significant illness and an excess death problem.

So now what I propose to do is to introduce you to this expert panel, and they will provide further and expert information on the effects and what can be done. Even at this stage, they will hopefully provide you with further enlightenment on what is one of the most important and profound issues of our time. Thank you very much.”
