Freedom of Information Request Reveals the MHRA Did Not Follow Up Half of Vaccine Death Reports

by Nick Hunt
27 November 2023 1:00 PM

I asked MHRA for some data about its follow-up of Covid vaccine adverse event ‘Yellow Card’ reports in September and October 2021. I picked that period because I knew it would be when MHRA would be seeing Yellow Card reports from Covid vaccination of younger age groups. It refused my FOI request saying it would take it too long.

However, it helpfully told me: “During the time period requested, the MHRA received over 22,000 suspected ADR reports directly to the Yellow Card scheme associated with COVID-19 vaccines. Of these reports, 118 included a fatal outcome and over 17,500 reports were considered serious by the reporter via our medical dictionary.”

Wait. How many? I’ve been sceptical all along about the benefits and risks of the Covid vaccines for many reasons but those numbers are off the scale. MHRA is saying that in that two-month period, a staggering one in 186 of Yellow Cards reported a death and 80% of them reported a serious adverse event. Wowza. 

Aha, you say, but there was a huge number of vaccinations. Well, I’ve got bad news for you – there wasn’t a huge number in that two month period. Just 1.86 million, because the U.K. vaccination rate started to plateau around July 2021. So of those 1.86 million vaccinations:

  • One in 15,762 (1.86m ÷ 118) resulted in a report of a death
  • One in 106 (1.86m ÷ 17,500) resulted in a report of a serious adverse event

Aha, you say, a Yellow Card report doesn’t equal causation: MHRA investigates all fatal and serious Yellow Card reports and assesses the likelihood that the medicine caused the death or adverse event. Well, I’ve got more bad news for you – it doesn’t. Lots of evidence for that, but here are two nuggets:

  • In reply to FOI 23/379 MHRA said that of 121 Yellow Cards for the Moderna vaccine with a fatal outcome, MHRA followed up 65 with healthcare professionals, of which 42 went unanswered. Hardly ‘all’ and hardly thorough.
  • In reply to FOI 23/400 it said that it does not hold records about the number of causation assessments it has made or what the assessments were, nor does it even have a process for assessment of causation. Not very convincing, is it?

It seems to me that MHRA is asleep at the wheel. I wonder if the Covid Inquiry will properly examine MHRA’s performance against its statutory obligation to keep us safe. Shame on it if it doesn’t.

Until Nick retired a few years ago, he was a Senior Civil Servant in the Ministry of Defence responsible for the safety and effectiveness of ammunition used by the Armed Forces. He is co-author of the Perseus Group report on U.K. medicines regulator the MHRA.

Any well run organisation would have management data on the handling, analysis and follow up on yellow card reports or anything similar. Just consider general insurance firms tregulated by the FCA. These are dealing with prosaic matters compared with the life and death issues of yellow card reporting. Regulated firms must record all complaints, responses and outcomes. They must look for underlying trends or systematic faults which give rise to complaints and they must report complaints in aggregate iver a number of categories every quarter or half year depending on their size. Firms where I have worked have a report at every Borad meeting.

Now we find a tax payer funded health regulator which cannot be bothered to pay attention to critical mediacl reports during what the government claimed was a health crisis.

It’s not a well run agency. I consulted there 10 years back. Fragmented tech, poor data management and they tried to screw us on the project scope.

OT but still relevant GB News have just reported a “new” blood test for Troponin levels – did not catch it all. How odd that it should be promoting (?) this now when it has been available across the pond “since day one”..?
It is an admission in all but name of the damage these mRNA drugs HAVE done/ are doing – imho – as reported and trashed trolled and fact checked denied immediately with certain approval from HMG….. Will GPs start to offer this along with D Dimer tests? – my GP point blank refused months ago.
It also sits with why have we seen the extensive advertising for Shingles – over the last 18 months or so including GSK and now I hear from NHS adverts on commercial radio – a tacit admission that ADE induced by these drugs has screwed immune systems exactly as warned by those in the know …. and the article on Ig4 above is very moot …
I conclude that HMG/NHS and “ others” now know and accept that these mRNA drugs are not “as advertised” – but it is an official conclusion that dare not speak its name. Raine knows for sure and she should be “ held to account” prior to being thrown into jail. Cmon DS TCW and others – you know it is true so “publish and damn them all”
Hallett is unlikely or will refuse to take or attach credence to this – the cat is out of the bag so why should she be allowed to escape the criticism of her wilful blindness ??

The whole enquiry is completely blind. The report is already written, nothing to see, move on. Those of us who are studyers at heart, have done the work, and understand it all. It is clear beyond any doubt that we are watching the biggest cover-up ever, because the outcome is so serious. I will point in another direction as an example of this mindset. The Grenfell fire enquiry found many, many serious crimes were committed, the report is yet to emerge, although I listened to all the enquiry evidence. The chairman, presumably, has forgotten to complete the job. Very, very strange!

This has just come in at TCW as a “Breaking News” item via Epoch News. The screws are tightening. I suspect recent electoral results have put the wind up the DD’s.

TCW rarely posts anything once the day’s articles are up so this is a big story.

And while we’re on the topic of being off-topic, here’s the latest from Tommy Robinson. He’s just got out after 24hrs in custody but he’s banned from London. Here he explains about his upcoming court hearing and bail conditions ( 6mins );

Thanks for the link Mogs. Tommy Robinson is a true hero and the way he is being treated is appalling. This isn’t two tier policing it is officially sanctioned victimisation of an English man. As Tommy rightly points out there are islamists chanting for jihad on our streets and desecrating our War Memorials and plod do nothing. For crying out loud we have a doctor employed by the NHS – ie taxpayers – screaming for genocide and he has neither been arrested nor lost his job.

What is happening goes all the way to the top. We will remember this Fishy!

I am afraid I cannot understand how a UK citizen can be banned from part of UK. The bail conditions have surely been passed by a high court Judge, if so which, because this is beyond belief? Tommy should be supported, even though I do not agree with all of his previous politics, because he was the first warning flag. His treatment now is dispicable. They are treating him as a terrorist, and even the worst IRA members were not treated this way, although the organisation was proscribed!

Remember. Raine made it clear in public that they had been subject to regulatory capture, when she said they now were “enablers” rather than regulators. There to make it easier for Big Pharma to damage us. Another public body that has turned its back on the public

The truly astonishing thing about this is the fact that so many people appear to be surprised that they didn’t.

The MHRA considers itself to be Big Pharma’s Enabler. Why on earth would it seriously investigate jab-related deaths and adverse effects?

The Covid Inquiry won’t ask any questions which might challenge the lock-downs and associated tyranny, including the experimental jabs. It’s job is to find that everything done was justified, except it should have been done sooner, harder and lasted longer.

The MHRA is totally unfit for purpose. Close it now! It is supposed to protect the Public.

The alarm has been sounded on the drug approvals process in the UK for years now. For example New Scientist magazine in 2019:
