OK Ash, so i watched the first 30 mins of the 45 minute video.The main thrust appears to be1) People are being injured or killed by the vaccine2) the media is not covering it at all3) People on twitter etc are accusing the families of making it up4) The government isnt doing enough to compensate peopleOn point 1. I don't think anyone on this forum has denied that a very small number of people are having adverse reactions to the vaccine? So what's your point?On point 2. There were two named victims of the vaccine and two who's names were not given.Stephen Wright - please see MSM coverage belowhttps://www.mirror.co.uk/money/wife-man-who-died-astrazeneca-24313355https://www.kentlive.news/news/kent-news/sevenoaks-dads-heartbreaking-final-text-4968496https://www.independent.co.uk/independentpremium/covid-vaccine-astrazeneca-uk-side-effects-b1864258.htmlLucy Taberer - please see MSM coverage belowhttps://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-three-dies-after-receiving-20914255https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9732583/Mother-three-47-dies-AstraZeneca-Covid-jab-caused-blood-clots-brain.htmlhttps://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-dies-in-rare-reaction-24409304A guy with GBS who said that nobody would admit there is a rise in GBS.

Not sure what to say here.On point 3. Yes some people on twitter are twats. Again nobody here is denying that some people have adverse reactions.On point 4. Certainly sounds like the goverment should do more - I dont know whether you've noticed but we have a particularly ineffective gov at the moment?Overall I didnt really get what the point of the program was. The presenter said something like 'never in the course of history has the whole world been asked to take a vaccine', well apart from Polio, smallpox etc etc - so that's incorrect.I'm afraid i didnt learn anything from this programme.

Paul,It is clear that vaccines clearly work. It is also true that in very rare cases there have been adverse effects and even death. In my view - and the view of most scientists - vaccines have huge benefits and the risk of vaccination deaths and injuries is vanishingly small.Some facts:Covid1. Globally, as of 5:33pm CEST, 29 July 2022, there have been 579,092,623 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 6,407,556 deaths, reported to WHO.2. In the first year of the vaccination programme, 19.8 million out of a potential 31.4 million COVID-19 deaths were prevented worldwide according to estimates based on excess deaths from 185 countries and territories. These findings were published by Imperial College London's MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.3. There have been several posts on Facebook using the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in the US to claim that Covid-19 vaccines have caused many deaths.4. This is not what the VAERS data means. It is a list of reported incidents that took place after vaccination, not necessarily because of it.5. At the moment, thousands of people around the world are being given Covid vaccines every day. If someone gets ill or dies shortly after being vaccinated, this does not mean the vaccine caused it. 6. The UK has so far received 143 reports of death following vaccination—none of which were caused by it. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) says: “The majority of these reports were in elderly people or people with underlying illness. Review of individual reports and patterns of reporting does not suggest the vaccine played a role in the death.”Nick
