U.K. lawmakers are criticising the Health Secretary for withholding Covid vaccine-excess death data amid a “wall of silence”. The Telegraphhas the story.
A cross-party group has written to Victoria Atkins to sound alarm about the “growing public and professional concerns” at the U.K.’s rates of excess deaths since 2020.
Ministers have blamed the rise in excess deaths on record NHS waiting lists and the pandemic backlog.
But the parliamentarians are demanding to be shown the underlying data to support the Government’s assertion that there is “no evidence” linking excess deaths to the vaccines for COVID-19.
“If those data do indeed exist, please share them; if thorough investigations have already ruled out such a link, please share the relevant reports,” their letter says. “There is no place here for blind faith.”
The group of 21 MPs and peers from four parties have written to the Health Secretary and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), as well as the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to request the data.
They believe potentially critical data – which maps the date of people’s Covid vaccine doses to the date of their deaths – have been released to pharmaceutical companies but not put into the public domain.
The MPs argue that the data should be released “on the same anonymised basis that it was shared with the pharmaceutical groups, and there seems to be no credible reason why that should not be done immediately”.
