This is the 14th of the round-ups of Covid vaccine safety reports and news compiled by a group of medical doctors who are monitoring developments but prefer to remain anonymous in the current climate (find the 13th one here). By no means is this part of an effort to generate alarm about the vaccines or dissuade anyone from getting inoculated. It should be read in conjunction with the Daily Sceptic‘s other posts on vaccines, which include both encouraging and not so encouraging developments. At the Daily Sceptic we report all the news about the vaccines whether positive or negative and give no one advice about whether they should or should not take them. Unlike with lockdowns, we are neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine; we see our job as reporting the facts, not advocating for or against a particular policy. The vaccine technology is novel and the vaccines have not yet fully completed their trials, which is why they’re in use under temporary and not full market authorisation. This has been done on account of the emergency situation and the trial data was largely encouraging on both efficacy and safety. For a summary of that data, see this preamble to the Government’s page on the Yellow Card reporting system. (Dr Tess Lawrie in June wrote an open letter to Dr June Raine, head of the MHRA, arguing that: “The MHRA now has more than enough evidence on the Yellow Card system to declare the COVID-19 vaccines unsafe for use in humans,” a claim that has been ‘fact checked’ here.) We publish information and opinion to inform public debate and help readers reach their own conclusions about what is best for them, based on the available data.
- On October 7th, the deaths reported as adverse events from vaccination in Taiwan overtook the number of deaths following Covid infection.
- Infection rates in England in vaccinated people aged 40-49 is now more than double the rate in the unvaccinated. Evidence now suggests that vaccinated people can spread the Delta variant and a study has shown that six months after the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, antibody levels in healthcare workers had decreased substantially.
- The first case of vaccine induced thrombotic thrombocytopaenia following the J&J vaccine outside of the USA was documented.
- Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Finland have temporarily halted the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for people under the age of 30 due to heart risks.
- There has been a case of reactivation of hepatitis C infection following the Pfizer vaccination.
- A large number of studies are increasingly showing evidence of robust natural immunity from natural Covid infection.
- There have been calls for clearer ONS data on the rise in deaths of young males in England and Wales. Investigation of official ONS data indicates that since the Covid vaccine has been rolled out to teens, there has been a significant increase in deaths in this age group.
- The Senate in France voted against making the Covid vaccine mandatory.
- EudraVigilance – the equivalent of the Yellow Card reporting system in the EU – has logged (up to October 9th) 1,038,776 reports of 2,536,526 adverse events, including 27,242 deaths.
- DAEN Australia – the equivalent of the Yellow Card reporting system – has logged (up to September 29th) 63,672 reports of 204,746 adverse events, including 566 deaths.
Summary of Adverse Events in the U.K.
According to an updated report published on October 14th, the MHRA Yellow Card reporting system has recorded a total of 1,228,991 events based on 372,878 reports. The total number of fatalities reported is 1,719.
- Pfizer (22.7 million first doses, 19.8 million second doses) now has one Yellow Card in 188 people vaccinated. Deaths: 1 in 40,391 people vaccinated (562).
- AstraZeneca (24.9 million first doses, 24 million second doses) has one Yellow Card in 106 people vaccinated. Deaths: 1 in 22,514 people vaccinated (1,106).
- Moderna (1.5 million first doses, 1.2 million second doses) has one Yellow Card in 90 people vaccinated. Deaths: 1 in 75,000 people vaccinated (20).
Overall, one in every 132 people vaccinated (0.76%) have experienced a Yellow Card adverse event. The MHRA has previously estimated that the Yellow Card reporting rate may be approximately 10% of actual figures.
- Thrombosis & Embolism (all types) = 7,072
- Anaphylaxis = 1,353
- Acute Cardiac = 16,092
- Pericarditis/Myocarditis (Heart inflammation) = 1,000
- Herpes = 4,322
- Headaches & Migraines = 122,717
- Blindness = 424
- Deafness = 599
- Spontaneous Abortions = 593 miscarriages + 13 foetal deaths/stillbirths
- Facial Paralysis incl. Bell’s Palsy = 1,752
- Strokes and CNS haemorrhages = 2,662
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome = 491
- Pulmonary Embolism & Deep Vein Thrombosis = 3,502
- Seizures = 2,872
- Paralysis = 1,173
- Nosebleeds = 3,120
- Dizziness = 35,509

If this litany of criminal negligence doesn’t ‘alarm’ or ‘dissuade people’ than they are brain dead.
Correct. The above isn’t the rantings of crazed conspiracy theorists but actual facts garnered from around the world.
And suppressed by half a dozen people controlling Big Tech.
There must be trials or we no longer have the right to call ourselves a law-governed civilisation.
LOL – I read that as trials for the gene therapy! The lack of which is kind of one of the basic problems with the whole situation, but we’re so far beyond proper scientific trials being possible we’ve had to move right onto Nuremberg…
Fascinating article as always, thanks. I always wonder what the background rate for these effects is. If you have a million people, some will fall ill in a variety of different ways and someone must know what the averages for each of these conditions would be normally.
knowing those background rates would give the figures some context. Let’s not forget that MSN is often bashed for quoting scary looking numbers out of context. Let’s not do the same here
I suppose the contrast with adverse events from other vaccines is helpful – I know this has shot through the roof in the USA. Also that previously we would have taken these reports really seriously and halted the roll out of a new therapy without quibbling about causation vs correlation, and done a lot more research to ensure it really was safe.
You have to be very careful trying to compare yellow card covid vaccine adverse event rates with expected background rates. I’m not sure how possible it is to work out what the chance is of developing “X” condition within a specific (say) 2 week period in time. We’d also need to know the number of specific adverse events reported by age group to work out if these occur above background rates, but of course we’re not going to be given access to that data. The government don’t want to provide any more ammunition to the “anti-vaxers” or “vaccine hesitant”. The less easy it is to interpret the yellow card data, the better (for them).
That’s always the objection, and that’s always pharma’s first position. That was what Pfizer said about heart events in its trial, and what – was it Moderna? – said about the Bell’s Palsy cases in its trial.
But if instead of factoring in background cases for a year – which delays identification of dangers – as pharma would like, you look at how many cases you would expect in the short time frame after the injection, you see a clearer picture. Most of these reports come v close after the jabs.
The rate of reported incidents for these little tested treatments, compared to traditional vaccines, is also through the roof.
Under reporting is also very high.
You will find many informed discussions of this on the web.
Really, that first sentence, that a group of medical doctors wish to remain anonymous with their findings, should set off massive alarm bells and get you questioning everything connected with these jabs.
But I know some have a seemingly limitless capacity to ‘rationalise’ this stuff away.
At least some in the know appear to be actually doing something, hopefully a critical mass will soon ensue whereby they feel safe to come out, and then…
Nuremberg 2.
One can but hope.
Quite apart from the recognised (by certain experts) toxicity of the induced spike protein which amongst other possible harmful effects give rise to clotting I would be grateful to have comments on the following re the mrna jabs :-
1.In order to ensure that foreign and dangerous rna can enter cells to programme deliverance without being destroyed by the innate immune system, I believe the rna is modified to switch off the system’s toll receptors which would otherwise destroy it.
2.The relevant TLR’s are those which mark certain cells for destruction, including, if not mainly, cancer cells.
3.In addition the P53 genome, the tumour suppressor gene, is also “reprogrammed”. How long is it envisaged said reprogramming lasts.
4.In addition to the above delights, do the mrna jabs contain the usual adjuvants.
There’s a Dutch paper somewhere which looks into this technology and how it may be permanently reprogramming the innate immune system. It’s such early days though, we know nothing about it. I know there are some doctors and researchers looking into the impact of this tech on the TLRs. We need so much more data to know, but now the world’s largest ever zero-informed consent medical trials are underway, we should get more than ever dreamed of.
Yes I think you’re referring to the combined effort of a paper produced by Dutch and German universities. It was very interesting, in a kind of foreboding kind of way, but I no longer have the link or remember which journal it was published in.
So let us recap. You can catch a coronavirus with an IFR the same as flu, which has so far killed 876 healthy people under 60 in England across the entire pandemic, or you can get an experimental gene therapy which has been banned by several countries, has killed thousands of people and given vast numbers of people strokes, clots, tremors and dangerous heart conditions, and has no medium to long-term safety data, and which will bring your absolute risk of severe disease and death down by 0.8%.
I’ll admit it’s tempting Boris, but give some time to think about it.
Pros & cons
Pros
Cons
I may be confusing my pros & cons a wee bit, depends on which side of the political fence you sit. But it’s worth noting its the liberal middle class most likely to accept medical treatment affectionately known as the “jab”. So it might turn out to be an own goal.
Question; why is it social leprosy to come out as an anti-vaxxer?
I was never a fully committed anti-vaxxer until the MSM & government made it a social stigma, now I have no ‘faith’ in the vaccine ideology at all & wear my anti-vaxxer colours with pride
If “anti-vaxxer” is defined as a person who trusts their immune system more than they trust pharmaceutical companies, career politicians and the corporate media, then I’m proud to be one.
A definition is welcome.
Technically speaking i’m not a true anti-vaxxer, because I don’t care who else gets “jabbed”, but I don’t waste any respect on people who faithfully participate in medical experiments as part of an elaborate scam with erroneous offers of freedom!
If people don’t have enough sense to identify blatant lies & propaganda, I don’t have much sympathy for them. I advocate personal responsibility.
I’ve been arguing with pro-vaxxers for years on The Guardian and BBC websites and fb pages and as I always say to them “the vast majority of so-called anti-vaxxers are in fact pro-safe-vaxxers”. As yet I haven’t found a safe one.
I’ve certainly been advocating pro-choice for the last 10years against a growing tidal wave of liberal hypocrisy in the likes of the guardian.
How nice to see this article posted first thing in the morning, not hidden away like a guilty secret.
Thank you Will for continuing these articles and contributing some actual scepticism to the articles above the line.
Oh, but according to the MHRA there’s nothing to see here:
Really? What, over 1.2 million reports and over 1700 deaths in the UK?
If it is not unusual, will the MHRA please tell us what other new vaccines they have records for that had this number and nature of yellow cards. The claim that it is ‘not unusual’ can easily be tested by comparison.
And when we do that comparison we find that the reports are more than for all vaccines over the last 30 years put together.
This is like Boeing introducing a new aircraft and having more crash with total loss of life and more emergency landings than all the other aircraft from all manufacturers over the last 30 years put together and then concluding that this was ‘not unusual’ for the introduction of a new aircraft, and that travelling by this new aircraft type was still ‘safe and effective’.
We know that we are being lied to.
They omitted the word “experimental” or perhaps “not fully tested” between the words “new” and “vaccine” in that report.
Not unusual during early trials for a new candidate vaccine that is abandoned as a result, perhaps!
Over 27,000 deaths in EU equivalent yellow card reporting system – and that is considered to be “normal”????
That did seem a bit shocking
Excellent post
One repeated flaw : the lack of an attempt to standardize reported adverse events against a baseline. Raw figures are useful, but not enough, and easily attacked.
The ever sardonic Scott Adams, the millionaire creator of the office-humor comic strip, tried to understand the real world situation recently, outwith of the VAERS raw data.
He was sceptical of widespread reaction reports, as he “believes the science,” so he simply asked his livestream viewers if any of them had a personal knowledge of serious reactions.
He was surprised, he told us, by how many (of his many hundreds of thousands of followers) replied “yes.”
In summary, paraphrasing, Scott still believes the science – but considers that it hasn’t yet explained what’s happening with the reactions. more at scottadamssays.com
if the DAEN Australia report is correctly presented the number of deaths due to vaccination would be about 50% of the total number of deaths from the virus. This is very hard to believe. The quoted figure is circulating on the internet and is being debunked online as conspiracy. Whilst I know that online fact checkers can’t be trusted, it is necessary that the numbers presented on a website such as this blog are credible. Otherwise it is hard to take this seriously.
Yes it’s definitely right. It’s v easy to check on the database. Type in COVID-19 on the medicine search and it gives you the selection of the 4 vaccines. You click on each and then specify the date https://apps.tga.gov.au/Prod/daen/daen-entry.aspx
You get the deaths & cases and can download the symptom sheet to get the reactions. As of right now (up to 5th October) deaths for all vaccines total
583 (you can click all 4 to get a total report)
Yes, it appears you are right. Unbelievable.
This is what the AAP factcheckers reply. Would be great if Will Jones could shed some light on this.
“Of the [reported deaths], the TGA found nine were linked to immunisation. All occurred following the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine – eight were cases of blood clots with low blood platelets, or thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), while one was a case of immune thrombocytopenia.
A spokeswoman for the TGA told AAP FactCheck the medicines regulator reviewed all reported deaths in people who had received the vaccinations.
“Reporting and publication of an adverse event report in the DAEN, including death, does not necessarily mean that it is related to the medicine or vaccine,” she said in an email.”
Are autopsies being carried out on all those deaths flagged as possibly due to the injections in Oz?
And if not, why not?
They want to monitor the safety, right?
Replacing the word “safety” with “risk” in the headline would be good. The bulk of it is an assessment of the injuries caused by it, and a numerical analysis of the hazards. Under the conventional definition of “safety” it is not a safe product in general – it only attempts to mitigate a risk caused by something else, if it exists; it has it’s own built-in hazards, which may or may not be tolerated by it’s users.
I kind of wonder just how big the red flag has to be?
I mean, here’s the signal
Anybody tried searching the Aussie DAEN Australia page? Tried it for Pfizer and Moderna and nothing turned up for the SARS CoV2 mRNA treatments!
Anyone heard about a schoolgirl dying in her sleep in ?King’s Lynn? And is any more emerging on the 11 year old who died of a heart attack in Leicester? Has anyone denied that they were recently injected? Or are these genuinely unlinked deaths?
