The case of a healthy woman who died 17 days after her COVID-19 jab, and her friend's relentless quest for answers, exposes two years of MHRA negligence, bureaucratic stonewalling and callous disregard for vaccine safety.
The AstraZeneca vaccine should have been withdrawn long ago and the debacle shows the lessons of thalidomide have still not been learned, says research scientist Dr Maggie Cooper.
Over 2,500 deaths reported, and the true number could be 10 times that – Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson give their verdict on the Yellow Card Scheme for COVID-19 vaccines, saying it has badly failed.
With underreporting of up to 98%, the Yellow Card Scheme for adverse effects is not fit for purpose, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson. What's more, drug side-effects are responsible for 6.5% of all hospital admissions.
Freedom of Information requests have revealed that the MHRA did not follow up on nearly half of the reports of deaths following the Moderna Covid vaccine.
The MHRA has admitted that it doesn’t have a process for assessing the cause of Covid vaccine adverse events. Nor does it hold any information on the assessments it has carried out.
Covid vaccines have a "disproportionate" injury rate, with injuries including "strokes and heart attacks", and up to 98% of adverse reactions are being missed, a senior Conservative MP has said.
The MHRA was so flooded with Yellow Card adverse event reports for Covid vaccines that its statistical analysis was skewed and safety signals were buried, a new FOI release has revealed.
There are "unequivocal safety signals" for heart, blood and reproduction problems in Yellow Card vaccine data, a top U.K. scientist has warned, saying: "Withdraw them immediately."
UK drugs regulator the MHRA has responded to an FOI request about the Covid vaccines but redacted crucial safety data. What is it hiding?
