BTW we plan to update the post as more replies to our FOI requests come in, it’s simpler than doing single posts. We will put the usual notice POST UPDATED ON (DATE).

Thanks for the comments and keep them coming.

An old geezer.

Thank you - I'm in awe of the huge work you put in. Are you channelling your inner terriers who don't let go once something is between their teeth?

Congrats to reader Myra on her PhD dissertation: what a meticulous research! And thank you, reader RonL: your FOI has produced an admission which makes me doubt the sanity and competence of the MHSA. If there's no immunity provided by those vaccines, why buy them with our money, and force them on us?

Thank you Vivian. Was for my Masters. Enjoyed doing the work. Was especially interested in the data collection to date in published cases of human influenza (so since 1996) and it is clear there are many unknowns.

I felt forewarned is forearmed.

This really deserves a much wider audience. I wonder if the BMJ would publish a version? They would have done in the past but I'm not so sure now with the current editorial bias and conflicts of interest.

I followed up with my MP, who was going to talk to Streeting about this vaccine purchase. She has now gone on maternity leave, it I got a message that someone else will follow up. Will update when I hear more.

"The silence is deafening."

ah; our wonderful western democracies; where liberty and freedom are so celebrated; and the people are so well looked after; we are naturally superior to others.

"Presumably it is safe and effective"

absolutely; just remember you will need monthly or more frequent top-ups to ensure this pinnacle of safety at all times. Can't be too careful.

The 17-to-1 vaccine-to-placebo ratio of deaths is incorrect because there were very different numbers in the vaccine (4758) and placebo (796) groups according to your previous post

That means the ratio is nearer 3-to-1. This is still a concerning ratio, though statistically

LRT(1) = 1.42, p = 0.233

thanks for all you do; terrible to read all this; how things have tumbled down over the last 20? 30? years into profound secrecy and furtiveness; as someone said, "Yes, Minister" was not a comedy; it was a documentary; now it is all very black

Nice to see teamwork coming to fruition, well done everyone.

NAO has got to be the way forward, but need MPs et al to request - public can't.

Wonder if UK needs to make defence industry a priority rather than biosciences - defence of the realm is the first priority and these vaccines seem to be overhyped. Trump may just have done us a favour.
