If you're considering participating in a clinical trial in the U.K., maybe don't, says Nick Hunt. Trials are regulated by the MHRA, and its failures here are no less extensive and serious than elsewhere.

It turns out that the U.K. drugs regulator the MHRA is responsible for making its own rules and marking its own homework. No wonder it repeatedly fails to keep the public safe, writes ex-Senior Civil Servant Nick Hunt.

COVID-19 vaccines must be suspended owing to the level of reported injuries and deaths across all age groups and a full inquiry launched into the MHRA, the regulator which approved them, a group of experts has said.

Government Minister Will Quince claimed the MHRA is "globally recognised for requiring high standards of safety and effectiveness". That is palpable nonsense, says Nick Denim.

U.K. drugs regulator the MHRA has been refusing to disclose key information relating to the safety of the Covid vaccines of late, repeatedly claiming the requests are "vexatious". What has it got to hide?

Back in February 2021, MHRA promised to do a whole range of routine population-level data analysis “to quickly detect a potential safety signal” for the Covid vaccines. So, where is it?

The blame game starts as MHRA passes the buck, writing in an FOI reply that "all the Covid vaccine authorisation decisions were taken by the Government Minister". Time for MPs to turn up the heat on the regulator.

UK drugs regulator the MHRA has responded to an FOI request about the Covid vaccines but redacted crucial safety data. What is it hiding?

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla was found by the medicine regulator to have misled the public over the Covid vaccine, yet will be fined just a few thousand pounds. The system is broken and needs an overhaul, says Dr Alan Black.

Pfizer's Covid vaccine has been authorised in the U.K. for infants aged six months to four years-old, the medicines regulator confirmed today, despite a study showing nearly 1 in 500 are hospitalised with side-effects.
